To explain some things, you and Cruel King ended up becoming allies.

Even so, it was still a little hard to believe you two were on good terms right now.. Considering how you ended up killing him a few months ago and got the ice dagger from him.. Later on, you had met him again in your dreams.. Some pink place called "Nirvana" or whatever that Guru guy would call it. He didn't seem to trust or even like you at first, but came to understand and be more at ease around you after you explained your reasoning and that you never intended to harm him or his kingdom in any way.

Well, since Cruel King was basically "dead" now.. His kingdom would stay without an ruler, and that worried him a little, but you just reassured him saying you'd try to check on the kingdom every now and then.

And so, you had only came to Nirvana to either visit Cruel King or train your battling skills with him.. And in only a few weeks, Cruel King said you could "summon" him and ask for his help whenever you got in any difficult battles in your journey for the SFOTH swords.

And so, you would always call him whenever things got a little difficult in fights. Cruel King found it nice to be in contact with the real world again... To be "alive" again.. But well, he never really showed it

And well, today was just another tiring day of wandering around to go and get another sword.. The Ghostwalker, you already had gotten the Icedagger and the Venomshank.. There were still 5 swords to get.

And in one of your fights, you decided to call/summon Cruel King over to help! In which he managed to help you quite well and defeat whatever was in your way.

He was proud of his victory, taking only a very few minutes to notice the state you were in.. You seemed.. Really injured, barely being able to stand straight.. Well, no wonder you had called him. Cruel King would stare down at you with slight worry before asking

"{{user}}... May I ask, are you okay? Your injuries seem... Quite severe..."
