Chapter 324 – To the North (2)
Of course, his growth didn’t frighten me at all.
But I didn’t like the fact that he was growing faster than others.
Given his personality, he would not work for somebody, and there was no chance of being his ally instead of his enemy.
However, if I attacked him first just because I didn’t like him, I would be acting just like Smith’s family did to me in the past. So, I had no choice but to be bothered by that.
That’s why it took me as many as five days to make up my mind.
But I made the decision to attack her master Yuljung Kim.
If she had not told me about him, I would not have cared at all.
Now that I have come to know about her situation and her subordinate relationship with Kim, I was not generous enough to let this unpleasant guy become stronger everyday.
That evening, my father, my brother, my sister, Director Sok and some others gathered at the No. 3 Study within the Myongjin Shelter.
I spoke to them first because they had already grasped the situation to some extent because I informed them about her as soon as I brought her here.
“I intend to accept Jihye Suh’s request.”
“What are you going to do after that?”
I replied, nodding slightly at my father who immediately questioned my decision.
“Well, I’m going to kill Yuljung Kim.”
“But you have to remember that he is not the only one you will have to deal with.”
“I know.”
North Korea was behind Kim, of course. Naturally, he would try to use all the power that North Korea possesses to suppress me.
“Are you really confident in killing him?” my sister asked at that moment.
Although her question was a bit brusque, I could understand she had mixed feelings about my decision.
Given the nature of her question, she was worried that I was diverging away from my usually defensive actions by attacking Kim. Moreover, my opponent was not an ordinary man.
However, I answered without any hesitation because I made the final decision after lots of careful deliberation.
“Of course, I’m really confident. I don’t intend to become a hero that brightens the world, but I thought it wasn’t bad to get rid of this bad guy on this occasion.”
We talked a little more about my decision.
At the end of the conversation I declared, “Nope. I will go alone to fight Kim. If the Myongjin Guild moves to help me, the fight would be between North Korea and Myongjin, not Juyoung Hong and Yuljung Kim.”
What’s more, I already noticed President Kijung Kang of South Korea, who was once hostile to me, kept silent without instigating me at all.
So, I was going to get rid of Kim without drawing any attention by using Blink with zero cooldown.
After all, my goal was not to overthrow North Korea, but to kill Kim.
Anyway, I made that decision and ended the meeting in the study room.
Of course, I was worried a bit that I might later regret my decision today.
In particular, I heard something interesting from President Xi, and there was a clear possibility that I might be in the same boat as Kim, which would be the worst situation.
But I decided to bet against such a possibility.
‘Well, I hate this guy so much that I can’t turn to such possibilities.”
So I braced myself once again while trying not to be swayed by such possibilities.
The next day I met Jihye Suh again.
After grabbing my hand, she softly opened her mouth.
“I’m now handing over all my stats to the other party.”
Then she said, looking at me, “Do you agree to receive all the other party’s stat points?”
“Yes, I agree.”
At that moment, a message rang.
[You have received 14239 stat points from the other party.
-Strength increases by 445, Agility increases by 631, Stamina increases by 2577, Willpower increases by 3315, and Intellect increases by 7271 permanently.]
I received a whopping 14239 stat points.
It was so absurdly enormous that I could not believe it for a moment.
So I had no choice but to say a word.
“If Kim finds out about this, I’m sure he will have better regrets!”
“Do you really think so? I am glad to hear that.”
She was in worse shape than an ordinary man. Watching her smile at my words, I thought Kim was really stupid. Given her powerful stats and talent, he should have treated her well instead of making her into an enemy. Of course, he must have taken her lightly because she was his subordinate, and he thought he would keep control of her forever.
Anyway, I quietly opened my mouth to check my status because my trait, Mutual Growth, had some limitations when increasing my WIllpower and Stamina.
‘Check status window.’
[Level: 1247
Number of kills: 11492, Number of deaths: 0
Titles: Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and 10 others.
Health: 5,877,000 / 5,877,000
Mana: 4,108,000 / 4,108,000
Strength: 8474 Agility: 10431 Stamina: 44570
Willpower: 31649 Intellect: 59847
Remaining stat points: 0
Remaining skill points: 0
Traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, God of Enhancement.]
“…”
Mutual Growth did not apply to my stamina and willpower when I got stat points through items and skills, but it did apply to stat points when they were given through the addition of new titles or rewards.
And even today they were applied.
In particular, aside from the intellect of 60,000, my Willpower, which I always felt was lacking, now exceeded 30,000.
“Then are you going to accept my request?”
“Absolutely.”
To be honest, I was consumed with lots of worries until now, but when I examined the enormous increase in stat points among other things, I learned that my worries were worth it.
With this spectacular growth in stat points, I felt bold enough to attack even President Xi, not just Kim.
Anyway, since I received all the stats from her, I could not turn a deaf ear to her request.
Besides, she lost everything, longing for her death, so I became more resolved to keep my promise.
After wrapping up our conversation, I moved to the North with her.
Even though she was over level 1200, she was now the same as a user who had just accessed Revival Legend, with only 10 strength, 10 agility, 10 stamina, 10 willpower, and 10 intellect.
So, I traveled with her to North Korea.
Did I encounter monsters while we were moving together? Of course, I did.
“Multiple Ice Arrows! Ice Spear!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Kheeeeeeeeeh!”
“Khuuuuuuuk!”
I didn’t have to use AOE skills to kill them.
As a matter of fact, I could get rid of moderately strong monsters with the most basic skills such as Ice Ball or Ice Bolt instead of AOE skills.
Even though it was limited to the items I had equipped within ‘Revival Legend’, I could now actualize them in reality without using coins. Besides, I received more than 14,000 stat points from her, including 7,000 Intellect, making me completely different from before.
Moreover, there were about 25,000 coins that I had spared to actualize other items instead of using them to increase my reality actualization rate.
