Chapter 808: Reactions
News of the impending battle between the Demon King and ‘TheBoss’ spread like wildfire the moment The Uprising guild and ChaosBringer himself confirmed the reports on the global forums.
At first, ChaosBringer had hesitated to make the duel public, wary of the implications should Leo lose.
In his opinion, the strategically safe option was to hold the duel in private, and then boast about a victory should Leo win, or bury the fact that he lost without letting many people know.
In his strategic opinion as the regent, a defeat in front of thousands could cripple Leo’s legacy in the minds of the players, which was an outcome he wished to avoid more than losing control over the Empire.
However, when Leo instructed him to make the event as grand as possible, turning it into a spectacle that neither side would ever forget, ChaosBringer had no choice but to obey.
Preparations for the event began in full swing, with a temporary arena and seating arrangements being constructed near the Eastern Border, where thousands from both the human and demon factions would gather to witness the legendary showdown.
However, it was the hype on the global forums that ballooned out of control.
The moment ChaosBringer’s official post confirmed the duel, the Terra Nova Online forums exploded with discussion.

> Bro, we’re SIX MONTHS away from landing, and this lunatic is still out here chasing glory. Who does this??
User: SilverHawk42
> I don’t get it either. Most of us have already made our fortunes. We’re enjoying the last year of the game, chilling in luxury, and here comes ‘TheBoss’ betting his entire Empire on a fight with the Demon King AND The Black Dragon.
User: FrozenEdge
> Tbh, that’s why he’s ‘TheBoss’ and we’re not. We settle when we’re comfortable. He’s out there trying to write history.
User: BigMilkersOnly
> My respect for ‘TheBoss’ has skyrocketed after this decision. He went silent for the last 6 months, did not participate in the rankers event, and I think he was secretly training hard to bring down the Demon King all this time.
I think he’s ready now, which is why he has thrown out the challenge. Trust me when I say this guys…. ‘TheBoss’ is not just going to win, he’s going to obliterate the Demon King in PvP battle.

> Y’all are so dramatic lmao. He’s just a greedy bastard. Dude already owns the most land, the most wealth, the most prestige—and still, it’s not enough for him. If I were him, I’d retire and enjoy the wealth I made, because if not, what was the point of all that struggle? What did he achieve by being number one?
User: Reckless
> ^ This. Some people just don’t know when to stop. He could have coasted for the rest of the journey. Instead, he’s literally waging war on the most powerful demon in the game for the sake of MORE.

Across hundreds of threads, players debated whether Leo’s decision was reckless or legendary.
Some admired his relentless ambition, calling him the greatest player in the history of Terra Nova Online. Others criticized him, saying he was risking too much too late into the game.
Yet, one thing was undeniable—
The hype for the duel was reaching unprecedented levels.

User: BloodFangHunter
> I wager 500 MP on ‘TheBoss’ winning. I don’t care what y’all say, he’s never lost a fight that mattered.
Since the value of gold coins in the game is depreciating fast, I’m going to bet with MP for those who have the balls to accept it.
User: ShadowMonarch
> LMFAO. You do know he’s fighting THE BLACK DRAGON too, right? Even if he was a match for the Demon King (which is debatable), that dragon alone is a world boss-level monster.
Defeating him is impossible—
User: InfernoMancer
> That’s exactly why this is going to be the greatest PvP event in the game’s history. Nobody’s ever pulled a stunt like this before. Win or lose, this fight is going to be one for the legends.
User: ValhallaBound
> Agreed. At the end of the day, whether you love or hate him, ‘TheBoss’ is the only one in this game who still plays like it’s life and death.

The boss’s decision to fight the Demon King brought in a new spark of excitement to the game world that was not present within it for many days.
Players, no matter where within the game world, started making their way towards the Eastern Border, eager to watch this epic fight unfold live before their very eyes.
The game world had lost most of its meaning anyways, and with more and more players no longer interested in levelling or growing stronger, an event like this certainty piqued their interest.
The fight was no longer just about the Empire vs. the Demon Kingdom.
It was about legacy.
The greatest player of Terra Nova Online was about to put everything on the line, in one final, all-or-nothing war.
And the entire world was watching.
Some hoped for him to win, some hoped for him to lose. However, everyone was curious to see how it ended.
‘TheBoss’ had never lost a fight before, and his haters desperately wanted to see him lose just once before the game concluded.
On the other hand, The Demon King and the Black Dragon were the most hyped antagonists of the game world.
Memories of them destroying the Southern Capital City a few years ago still remained fresh in the minds of many who witnessed it live, or saw the destruction clips on the forums later.
To them, it seemed inconceivable that a player could challenge or hope to defeat such beings, however, because it was ‘TheBoss’ making the challenge, they wondered if it was truly possible?
Such was the aura that Leo had developed as a player over the years, that even when he fought the most improbable of fights, nobody could really count him out.
