Chapter 415 – That Name (3)
No one answered. So I immediately opened my mouth again.
“Phew. I don’t know when I’ll meet someone who can give me the information I want. Ice Wave!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Kheeeeeeek!”
“Khuuuuuuuk!”
Since this was the first day I got here, I didn’t think I could get any valuable information.
I could not say I met a lot of people here, but all of those I had met didn’t give me any good information. Moreover, I didn’t want to be compassionate toward them.
Even though I didn’t assume they were my enemies, they regarded me as their enemy, so I didn’t want to toy with the idea that it would be better to solve the problem through dialogue on the possibility that they might really not be my enemy.

There was something I didn’t know before, but I now know it clearly.
In other words, if I want to do something, I should do it right, and if I don’t want to do it, I should just not do it at all. A half-baked approach was the worst that would lead to nothing.
In fact, it would bring me some unintended consequences if I did something half-heartedly. It would have been better if I had not dabbled in it from the beginning.
So I reassured myself as soon as I came here that no matter how similar my enemies looked to me, they were just monsters who could help me grow by dropping EXP, golden rings as well as coins if I hunted them.
Of course, more precisely, they didn’t drop EXP or items because I was in reality, but since the reward upon clearing the event was so huge, I didn’t care about it.
So I translated my reassurance into action.
“Fire Arrow!”
“Thorn of Pain!”
:
“Biting Wind of Wind Spirit!”
“Rise, Sand Giant!”
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
Without any hesitation, I launched an attack against the enemies that charged at me.
“Blizzard!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Kheeeeeeeek!”
“Damn it!”
“Man, this intruder is so strong!”
“We can’t stop him! Contact the Regular District, oh no, contact the Major District!”
If there was another valuable thing I learned here, it was that I didn’t necessarily have to appease or interrogate my opponent to find out what I wanted. My enemies began to leak some sort of information in one way or another while feeling helpless and frustrated when they were overwhelmed by my power.
I put together bits and pieces they dropped from their exclamations, which ended up being valuable information for me. In addition to this growing information, there was something else that I also accumulated.
[You have succeeded in your daily quote of getting rid of 10 opponents.
-You have accumulated additional points by getting rid of 356 more enemies than your daily quota. You will receive additional rewards when you successfully return to the earth.
-You have accumulated additional points by getting rid of 357 more enemies than your daily quota. You will receive additional rewards when you successfully return to the earth.

:
-You have accumulated additional points by getting rid of 402 more enemies than your daily quota. You will receive additional rewards when you successfully return to the earth.]
Every time I killed the enemies, the message continued to ring, and the bonus I would receive upon successfully returning to the earth also continued to grow.
So, I opened my mouth to express my gratitude towards the enemies who were collapsing at my attack.
“Thank you for recognizing me as an aggressor to the end. I also want to thank you for not asking for my mercy and goodwill.”
If they had begged for their lives, I would have paid some attention because I was not a cold-blooded person without mercy or compassion. However, even knowing that their attacks could not inflict much damage on me, they still hurled abusive language and rushed at me like moths to a fire. So I could not afford to be generous to them. I kept attacking them more fervently in response to them charging at me.
Guys who were as competent as the black liquid man or those who appeared in Osaka, Japan didn’t appear yet. With the exception of the black liquid man who was totally in a different league, I was confident of defeating them even if those who appeared in Japan appeared before me now because I was much stronger than before.
Anyway I kept moving on, but rather slowly just in case something unexpected might trap me along the way.

It’s been three days since the event ‘Advance Party’ started.
In the Myongjin Shelter in Gangwon Province.
Tramp- Tramp-
There was a person wearing a mask who carefully patrolled not only the three main bases of the Myongjin Shelter, but also the outer bases around the three main bases. He was Jungdae Lim, the Chief Security Guard of the shelter.
He was still wearing a mask because he could not yet reveal that he had changed into North Korea’s Yuljung Kim because of the effect of Change, but he did not find it uncomfortable. He thought he could be of more valuable service to the Myongjin because he turned into Yuljung Kim.
While he was patrolling, he said to his deputy next to him, “We should absolutely make sure that nothing bad happens to the Myongjin Shelter while Juyoung Hong is away. It will be so shameful to see him if he returns to find our place is a mess! So stay more vigilant so nothing happens during his absence.”
“I’m sure nothing unusual will happen. As you know, this is the Myongjin Shelter!”
His deputy was full of confidence, but Captain Lim stopped walking and looked at him sharply as if he disapproved of his attitude.
Noticing his boss’s angry expression, the deputy quickly said, “I’m sorry!”
Then Captain Lim relented a bit, and said, “Don’t forget that they called the Myongjin Shelter as the Land that Summons Monster or the Cursed Land. There are people in the world who harbor hostility and hatred simply because we are better than them even though they have never met us.”
“Got it! Understood!”
Anyway, Captain Lim patrolled in and outside the Myongjin Shelter without forgetting his duty. He knew that it was his duty and responsibility to defend the Myongjin Shelter thoroughly through Revival Legend until Juyoung Hong returned.
He continued, “On the day when Juyoung returns, I will give you guys a special vacation as well as compensation, so take care of our security guards well. Don’t push them too hard!”
“Yes, sir!”
Captain Lim didn’t forget to encourage them with promises of compensation for their hard work.
In Madagascar, an island country in eastern Africa around that time.
A man was sitting on a chair in a gorgeous room, with his chin resting on his luxurious desk, while he was lost in thought.
Then he opened his mouth softly.
“Obviously, this is an opportunity to harm Asirante in one way or another…”
That man, or the leader of the Lucia Guild, thought hard about it for a long time.
Then he remembered Asirante’s fight against the black liquid man some time ago.
At that moment, the Lucia Guild leader realized that he was incredibly stupid to even think of challenging Asirante when he should not have. He once again realized that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to challenge, or defeat him.
That he had seen a tree he could not never have climbed.
