Cruel king - block tales

Cruel King is a character that players can encounter in-game, and is the final boss of Chapter 1. He is located at Blackrock Castle, inside the throne room.

He was the original wielder of the Ice Dagger before being beaten by the player. After Chapter 1, he can be re-matched in Cold Nirvana, with the player being able to gain an ally card of him after defeating him for five times.

In the game, Cruel King appears as a R6 Robloxian with a white-coloured head, black-coloured arms, alongside grey-coloured legs.

Cruel King also appears in-game wearing a golden crown as well, alongside having a mouth with it's tongue sticking out and a pair of cyan-coloured eyes.

The Cruel King is the monarch of the Blackrock Kingdom, and throughout his dialogue, he appears to be only acting to save his kingdom, and is dedicated and loyal to protecting the inhabitants of his kingdom. He fights solely for the purpose to protect the home of his people, and even with holds the information of Blackrock's fall to maintain peace at the cost of his "restless nights" (3rd fight dialogue).

His perspective that the player is trying to 'tear down' his kingdom is influenced by what the dagger tells him. While it's not certain his kingdom won't be torn down (Last mention in the 3rd dialogue where he mentions "I don't think I can handle the answer."), there is no mention of the player directly causing it's fall by taking the dagger, besides from the Cruel King who has become an unreliable character due to The Voices manipulating him.

The Cruel King prior to the Ice Dagger's influence seems to be a reasonable and just ruler, as even though the player never communicates (Besides one word answers such as "yes" or "no") and break into his window without elaborating further, on his 5th refight a more sane Cruel King apologizes for being immature and not trying to talk things out despite the grasp The Voices had on his mind and the worries of his kingdom's well-being.

He is merciless in protecting his kingdom and determined that with the power of the Ice Dagger, he will save his people from their impending doom, as the voices have told him his kingdom will fall should the dagger be in the player's possession since he mentions "Blackrock Kingdom will cease to exist in your future.".

After defeating him a number of times in the Cold Nirvana, he becomes benevolent to the player, lending them to train should they visit him again, either realizing that the voices had lied, or accepting the believed fate of his kingdom and realizing that the player hadn't intentionally caused it and only took the dagger to pursue a noble cause.

From the Cruel King's dialogue before his fight against the Player, he constantly hears a voice tormenting him inside his head. Due to Griefer also having voices from wielding the Venomshank, it is possible said voices come from the Ice Dagger. These voices seem to linger however, as even after being killed by the player, when he is refought in the Cold Nirvana he mentions how he can still hear the voices.
