Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 147: Dark King’s Crown

Esma chuckled, watching the surprise on the coupleʼs faces.

”This set is known as the Dark Set.”

”A Dark Set? Isnʼt it too corny?” Although the name of the set didnʼt make much impression on Idan, he was still surprised. For some reason, this set interested him much more than the ”Sacred” set. Perhaps this was due to the fact that the ”Dark” set was black, and Idan always liked black more than white.

”Yeah, — Esma nodded, agreeing with Idan that the name of the set was too simple.

”So, the names of the weapons in the set are as follows: Dark Sword, Dark Spear, Dark Shield, Dark Bow, Dark Daggers, Dark Gloves, Dark Staff and the last, eighth weapon, the Dark Kingʼs Crown!” — Esma quickly listed all the names of the items in the set.

Of course, what surprised and attracted Idan and Arabel the most was the Dark Kingʼs Crown. The very name of this ”weapon” stood out from the rest. After all, the word ”King” was present in it, which in itself created an atmosphere of grandeur and mystery.

”The Blacksmith who created the Dark Set, like the Sacred One, made it specifically for members of a certain race. Therefore, at the moment, at least while I was still living in Junonia, there was not a single living owner of a Dark Weapon.

A few centuries ago, during the war, almost all the representatives of this race were destroyed, and with them almost the entire Dark Set disappeared,” Esma said regretfully.

Esma slightly condemned the Blacksmith for limiting his creations. Because of this, the Dark Set, once famous and popular, is now mentioned only in historical chronicles.

Such an unexpected ending to the Dark Set deeply shocked Idan and Arabel.

”What? Have they disappeared?” — Idan asked incredulously, unable to believe Esmaʼs words. How could such legendary weapons just disappear?

”There is no mention of Dark Weapons appearing in my memories. It is unknown where they are and who has them. Maybe someone still has them, but they hide them carefully. However, you must understand that almost the entire race for which this set was created was destroyed and cursed. Therefore, even if someone finds at least one weapon from the Dark Set, no one will be able to tie it down and use it,” Esma replied.

”What? Cursed?” exclaimed Idan and Arabel in one voice, looking at each other in surprise.

”It canʼt just be a coincidence, can it?” Idan turned to Arabel, and she nodded in agreement, sharing his doubts.

Then they both turned their gaze to Esma, and Idan, asking a question, said:

”That race you mentioned, isnʼt it the Rain Clan?”

”Eh? Have you heard of the Rain Clan?” This time, Esma was surprised. Even in Junonia, not everyone knows about the existence of the Rain Clan nowadays. Only representatives of the Higher realm have access to this information.

”Did Sierra tell you about them?” asked Esma.

Idan and Arabel were silent, not revealing that the Rain Clan was first hinted at by their System, and then they learned a little from their master Milica.

They also knew that Nemo was a descendant of the Rain Clan, which meant that the race had not been completely wiped out.

”Yes, youʼre right. The Blacksmith created a Dark Set specifically for the Rain Clan. At one time, this race rose rapidly and became one of the strongest beings in the world, and the Dark Set played a significant role in this. However, like their rise, their fall was inevitable, swift, and merciless.”

Esma sighed softly as she talked about the fate of the Rain Clan and the Dark Weapon.

”And the last thing I know about the Dark Set is that the Dark Kingʼs Crown, in addition to the ability to transform into one of the seven weapons, has another unique ability. Many people tried to find the crown, but after the Rain Clan was exterminated, it disappeared, and now no one knows where it is.”

Idan and Arabel listened to Esmaʼs words in surprise, when suddenly they heard the monotonous voice of the System. This time, the couple wasnʼt surprised, because they already guessed that the System would make itself felt. They already had a rough idea of how their System worked.

[Ding! You are given a task: To help a representative of the Rain Clan and your future champion Nemo find the Dark Kingʼs Crown and inherit it.]

[Ding! This task is included in the World Quest! Its importance has increased significantly.]

[Ding! A new assignment has been received from the Supreme Blacksmith System! The Supreme Blacksmith System has also expressed interest in the Dark Set. It is necessary to get a weapon from this set for analysis — 0/8. Reward — upon successful completion of the task, ”Supreme Blacksmith System” will provide the opportunity to create a personal Dark weapon to order!]

[Are you accepting the task?]

[Yes][No]

Idan and Arabel expected the System to give them a task similar to the one related to finding weapons from the Sacred Set. However, contrary to their expectations, the System also instructed them to help Nemo find the Dark Kingʼs Crown, including this task in the World Quest.

”Huh? Does the System want Nemo to become king? First she demands that we help him get the Throne, and now the Crown?” Idan asked himself sarcastically, using a mental link. Arabel smiled at his words.

The couple agreed to this task without much hesitation. Unlike the quest for the Sacred Set, the quest for the Dark Set became more meaningful to them as they were included in the World Quest.

At that moment, two beings entered the room, dragging several unconscious people with them.

They were Idan and Eulaliaʼs doppelgangers, Ned and Eva. And the ones they brought were the Heroʼs subordinates who were with him at the Adventurer Guild branch today.

Eva and Ned did not take with them everyone who was present today, but only those who had the worst reputation.

Idan, seeing that the doppelgangers had successfully completed the task, drew attention to the Hero, who had been making mumbling noises all this time, listening to their conversation, as if trying to say something.

”All preparations are complete,” Idan said to Esme and Arabel.

”Letʼs get to the second task that the System has assigned us!” he added, addressing Arabel through a mental link.

Namely, to teach the Hero an unforgettable lesson.
