Archfiend Subjugation

**Archfiend Subjugation** is the main quest of World 7 - Dungeon Kingdom. In search of the next Champion, the road leads to the Dungeon Kingdom where every 5 years there is a contest held to subjugate the Archfiend. The contest is currently ongoing as the Knight arrives and meets various characters including the next champion.

## Summary

Every 5 years an Archfiend subjugation is held when the Archfiend gets reborn. The tradition has turned into competition which brings in people from all over different kingdoms. The Champion's Sword reacts when Halbal, who has won the competition for 7 years straight, arrives to bully Craig. Ailie is Craig's friend who follows around adventurers scavenging behind them for loot. Ruri is the the one streaming the competition so everyone can watch from far and wide.

Throughout the Kingdom, it becomes clear that Halbal is not Hero material, with his selfish personality and Craig is the more likely subject. And surely enough, a giant Lava Slime attacks the contestants with Craig trying to defend everyone and Halbal refusing to take orders. Everyone gets separated and when the Knight meets everyone again, they fight the slime together with "Halbal". "Halbal" is now helping people unlike before.

Rest of the Dungeon goes smoothly with "Halbal"'s cooperation. Eventually, the Knight reaches the end just in time to see a Crystal being used to summon a Legendary Archfiend. With the power of the crystal the Archfiend overpowers everyone and knocks them out, except the party and "Halbal". In the fight, "Halbal" is revealed to be Craig who disguised himself as Halbal after Halbal fleed the Dungeon, leaving his armor behind. The real Halbal comes back just in time to take credit for defeating the Archfiend and Ruri announces the results as such:

1. <Champion> Halbal
2. <The Knight> Player Name
3. <Knight Captain> Tiriona
4. <Iron Mask> Guido
5. <Handsome Knight> Lennon

Ailie is mad on the behalf of Craig but Craig himself doesn't seem to care about the rankings. He says he would rather be a warrior who saves the world compared to one that just gets fame and money. He promises to Ailie to come back after doing so.

Finally in the while Ruri interviews Halbal, she announces that there was anonymous footage sent in by "Scavagirl" of the exact moment the Archfiend was defeated. Halbal destroys the machinery before it can roll.
