Chapter 332 - All Buffs, All Debuffs (3)
Chapter 332 – All Buffs, All Debuffs (3)
The previous matches worked out because there was an even number of participants, but now, there were only three people left, which was an odd number. So I naturally had some doubts about it. But I didn’t ponder over it for long because I was going to win anyway, regardless of whether my victory was due to them abstaining or not.
After hunting until late at night, I logged out and met Director Sok. I asked him about the situation in Osaka, Japan. But he said there was nothing new since we talked last time.
He said they didn’t ask Myongjin for any help as of now.
“By the way, you have won, right?”
“Well, sort of…”
I just casually answered his question because it was not a big deal anyway.
The next day.
[Your opponent of the King of Kings event to select the strongest has been decided.
-You will be transferred to the arena in 10 seconds.]
Along with the message appeared the battlefield. But it was different from usual.
So the next message that rang was also different from usual.
[Currently, there are 3 people left.
-All 3 people will participate in this match, with the last one left standing as the winner.]
I never thought that the remaining three people, including me, would be fighting each other all at the same time. And the other two were also clearly startled from what I could see through the transparent wall. Normally, this kind of three-way fight would result in a fierce one-on-one-on-one match with each player trying to check the other’s strength fiercely. But this fight was more likely to be two against one. In fact, I could hear the sound of the two guys quickly communicating with their eyes through the transparent wall on the other side.
But I didn’t think it’s a big deal.
I liked it better because I could beat them right now instead of waiting until tomorrow.
So, I shouted first as soon as the transparent wall, which divided the arena into thirds, not halves, disappeared.
“Ice Punishment!”
“Bang!”
“Kheeeeeh!”
Naturally, I used Ice Punishment on the man holding a big bow, not the man holding a one-handed sword and shield. Obviously, I could kill the guy with the one-handed sword and a shield with a single strike, but I decided to get rid of the guy holding the big bow first because I had a higher probability of success.
Then I used another skill.
“Ice Tornado.”
Wheeeeeeeeeng!
A whirlwind of ice was created in an instant.
“Shit! What the heck is this? It’s so powerful!”
This was a gust of wind that even pushed the level 1500 monster Titans into the air before sweeping them away. In addition, the power of the gust was enormous, perhaps because my Intellect increased by more than 7000 instantly.
Grrrrrrrrr-
The gust deposited the man with the one-handed sword and shield into a deep furrow, and he struggled to get out of it desperately.
Watching him, I used one more skill because it would be better to kill him without any further delay.
“Blizzard!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
It was the only level 9 skill I had due to the functional skill ring.
Because of that, my opponent, who was already beaten down by Ice Tornado, collapsed immediately as soon as he was struck by Blizzard.
This was really a devastating defeat for the other two players in this final match.
But I took their defeat for granted.
When I was left alone in the arena after defeating them, a message rang.
[Congratulations! You have won 1st place in the event to select the strongest player in all regions of ‘Revival Legend’.
– As a reward, you will receive the following.
: A significant amount of experience.
: 2 billion Golden Rings.
: 500 remaining stat points.
: 20,000 coins.
: A treasure chest which when opened will grant you between 1 to 10 trait shards randomly.
: Title ‘The Strongest’.]
Definitely this was the King of Kings fight. That’s why the reward this time was much more spectacular than the one that I received when I was crowned the strongest in Region 11 to which I belonged.
Of course, I had some regrets because there was one thing missing. I could not find the skill points which I obtained last time
But a series of messages rang as if to make up for the lack of the skill points.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
:
:
[You have leveled up.]
Until now, I had received numerous rewards through events and quests, but if I had to choose what I lacked the most, it was none other than my EXP.
Obviously, my EXP points were even fewer than my precious titles that numbered a dozen.
But the message about my level-up kept ringing, even though I was already at the middle of level 1200, as if to confirm how precious my EXP was.
So I opened my mouth quietly after checking the message because I needed to confirm something first.
“Confirm title The Strongest!”
[Title: The Strongest.
-This is the title that can only be obtained by someone who has proven that they are the strongest within all regions of ‘Revival Legend’ beyond the region that they belong to.
: Health increases by 100,000.
: Mana increases by 100,000.
: All stat points increase by 300.
: Your achievement as the strongest man that no one can deny makes even monsters tremble in fear.
-When you attack monsters, you will inflict an additional 20% damage. (Boss monsters included.)]
With an increase in all stat points by 300 and granting 100,000 health and mana, this title was high enough to be included in the upper rank. Besides, there was an additional 20% damage to monsters.
Of course, I could get rid of level 1500 monsters easily, so I wondered how big the effect of additional 20% damage would be. Nonetheless, it was not that bad, considering the fact that I would eventually gain access to a hunting ground that was higher than the level 1300, the level 1400, and the level 1500 hunting grounds that I was fortunate to obtain in the past.
Anyway, I finished checking the title.
There was only one thing left, so I opened my mouth.
“Check status window.”
[Level: 1291
Number of kills: 11582, Number of deaths: 0
Title: Only Closed Beta Max Level Achiever and 11 others.
Health: 6,153,000 / 6,153,000
Mana: 4,218,000 / 4,218,000
Strength: 9074 Agility: 11331 Stamina: 44870
Willpower: 31949 Intellect: 60147
Remaining stat points: 940
Remaining skill points: 0
Traits: Iceman, Mutual Growth, God of Enhancement.]
Since I already applied the title ‘Strongest Player,’ all I had to do was to apply 100,000 health and mana, plus 300 stat points.
And I seemed to understand why the guys who were called the strongest in each region collapsed without resisting Ice Punishment at all. It was because my intellect exceeded 60,000.
Moreover, although it was not shown in the status window, my Ice Emperor’s guardian sword, which was upgraded from +6 to +7 Enhancement, increased my magical attack power by so much as well.
“By the way, it seems there is no particular message about new skills at level 1300. Then, should I pursue level 1400 as my new goal?”
Maybe there would be nothing particular or no message even when I reached level 1400 just like level 1300. But since nobody had reached level 1400 yet, I aimed for it anyway.
Then I invested all 940 remaining stat points in my Intellect, and closed the status window.
What did I do after that?
[You have received all the rewards.
-You will be transferred back to your original location in 10 seconds.]
I continued hunting in the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.
