Chapter 382 – Only The Roots Know Why It Disappeared (2)
Removal of his assimilation with the monsters, their imprinting, and two buffs.
Matthias had no choice but to feel so disappointed at the message that all the abilities that made him who he was today had disappeared.
For he took the message as something like a declaration that he was not special any longer.
He stood there blankly for several hours.
Fling!
Someone opened the door and entered Matthias’s office. It was Dylan who had been serving him like a slave all his life.
He reported to his boss right away, “Master. I just received a call from the leader of the Lucia Guild. He asked me why you released the Land That Summons Monsters without his permission…”
He had no choice but to say evasively after noticing his boss looking at him blankly like a corpse.
So he got closer to his boss and said, “Matthias? What’s going on?”
“…”
But his boss remained silent.
So he didn’t demand any further, and stood by his side quietly because he knew that his boss had already got his point even though he didn’t show any reaction for some reason.
Only after a long pause could he hear Matthias’ voice.
“It’s all over…”
***
In the middle of Myongjin Shelter.
“Hmm. He didn’t seem like a good character…”
I asked the man from the Lucia Guild to give me one week to think about how to reply, but I didn’t ask him to stop the monsters from appearing for one week because I felt he would not accept.
Even though I talked with him briefly, I was not stupid enough not to notice the envy and jealousy in his eyes. Of course, he tried to hide it, but I could immediately notice it.
Moreover, he wanted to drive me into a corner. So I couldn’t understand why he stopped the monsters from appearing because he was the only one who knew how to control the situation, given that the monsters stopped appearing shortly after he left.
“Hummm…it looks like I gained time for one week anyway.”
Obviously, he didn’t take the action for the sake of Myongjin, but I didn’t feel bad about it. Since the monsters that appeared every 10-20 minutes stopped appearing, I could resume my activities finally. In fact, I had lots of work to do.
Puck!
At that moment I noticed something piercing through the ground and soaring into the air as if a giant snake was ascending to the sky.
It was none other than the White Root.
“Hey, I’ve been looking for you for over a month, and you’ve come out only now!”
The White Root was twice as thick and long as other brown roots.
Moreover, its power befitting its huge size was so enormous that I could not compare it with other roots. That’s why I was so disappointed that the White Root had vanished while the monsters that got stronger were appearing everyday.
When I saw the White Root this time, it seemed to have grown much bigger than before.
Of course, I didn’t notice it at first because I was just now seeing it after more than a month, but there was obviously a big change, namely, the red line covering the White Root.
Originally, its whole body was white, so I called it the White Root.
However, the White Root took away the black tattoo I got as a mark after achieving the 100% reality actualization rate, so its white body was completely covered by black tattoos.
But a red line stood out between those black tattoos,
Furthermore, there was a small, haze-like thing dancing around the red line.
“Hey, what the hell have you been doing?”
I had no choice but to ask such a question because of its pretty unnatural change.
Moreover, it was missing for about a month and a half.
Wiggle, wiggle.
Wiggle, wiggle.
The White Root shook its body as if dancing instead of answering my question.
So I asked, “Maybe you are somewhat responsible for this bizarre phenomenon, right?”
If the White Root had appeared in its original form, I would not have asked it.
However, it came out with an unknown red line on its body, and the scene of something like haze emitting from the red line seemed really unusual. It looked more menacing than before.
So I had no choice but to associate the appearance of the monsters with the White Root’s change.
But I shook my head because I was not sure at all. It was just my wishful thinking.
Anyway, I watched the White Root dancing for a while, then once it burrowed back underground, I went back inside the Myongjin Shelter.
For it was highly likely that no monsters would appear for at least a week, given that none of them appeared for nearly 5 hours today.
***
In Barcelona, Spain a few days later.
Slam! Slam!
“Shit! He should have told me earlier! I promised Asirante that I would wait for one week! If the monsters don’t appear there for one week, what would he think of me? He would certainly make light of me!”
The Lucia Guild guilder was furious.
In his mind, Asirante would think it strange that the monsters didn’t appear all of a sudden, but if the promised one week passes and the monsters still do not appear, his doubts will change to conviction.
Moreover, he would be branded a liar in Asirante’s mind. That’s why the Lucia Guild Leader got angry.
“It’s gone. It has become garbage.”
“…”
Matthias didn’t respond to the Lucia Guild guild leader, who had him by the balls, for what he said was true.
At that moment, a guy charged at the Lucia Guild leader and tried to attack him.
It was none other than Dylan, Matthias’ minion.
But the Lucia Guild leader blinked an eye.
Without blinking his eyes, he opened his mouth, staring at Dylan’s fists that punched at the base of his stomach.
“Oh, you’re his subordinate. How dare you rebel against me like this? Weaken and ruin yourself!”
