Chapter 428 – Dangerous Onlookers (5)

Those who belonged to the Lucia Guild also charged at the Myongjin players ferociously. They had already invaded the Myongjin Shelter and killed thousands of people, so they had no other choice but to continue on so they could be freed from the Lucia Guild Leader’s shackles and hide away in a place nobody could find to avoid Juyoung Hong’s vengeance. They knew that if they lost or retreated from this place, Umberto would never set them free.

In the meantime, Umberto thought about one thing, namely, a trait.

[Trait: Current durability of ‘Single Blow.’

-35%]

If the traits ‘Shared Life’ and ‘Single Blow’ had been ruined by the whtie root, Umberto would have decided to retreat, but they were still available.

Although the White Root’s attack was definitely strong, it was not as powerful as he thought. So Umberto urged his surviving subordinates to continue fighting.

He knew his subordinates could hold out a little more, but he still felt nervous deep down.

***

Actually, the White Root had followed Juyoung Hong to Kuhana where he currently was now, for it belonged to its owner. But the White Root knew that something happened to the place on earth that its owner valued and loved so much, namely, the Myongjin Shelter.

In fact, the White Root took that area as its main territory.

The White Root was aware that its owner Juyoung not only loved the Myongjin Shelter, but also wanted to keep it safe by all means.

So when the White Root found out something bad happened in its territory, it pondered over whether to return to the earth or not.

In the end, the White Root decided to return because the Myongjin Shelter was the place that its owner wanted to defend at all costs.

But it could not leave Kuhana completely because the hole connected to the earth was too narrow. Nonetheless, it could pass through the tiny hole in one way or another.

But the White Root had to leave a lot behind in order to pass through the tiny hole, thought that was not a big issue

But the problem arose after it arrived because there were no monsters in sight that its owner Juyoung Hong normally singled out as his enemy.

So the White Root had no choice but to simply lay there idly, before it noticed somebody that its owner was very close to.

So it approached that person, and when she pointed to a specific target, it began to attack him ferociously.

Of course, the White Root was frustrated while attacking the target because it could not fully display its power and mount an effective attack as it left behind a fair chunk of itself in Kuhana.

However, since this place was its owner’s prized place, it continued to attack the enemy that his close relative pinpointed.

***

It has been 10 minutes since the second round of fighting between the Lucia Guild and the Myongjin Guild started.

“Kheeeh!”

“Damn it!”

“We were not prepared for this fight!”

The Lucia Guild members desperately attacked the enemy because their trait ‘Single Blow’ was not yet destroyed while maintaining their shared health pool.

Puck! Puck!

What’s more, Juyoung Hong’s root, which boasted of such tremendous power, was suffering wounds from their attacks, losing chunks of its branches, so they were initially very confident with high morale. They became convinced that they could win as things stood now.

But then something shocking happened.

Puck!

“Khuuuuuuuuuuuk!”

If the ‘Single Blow’ trait had been maintained, he should have held out firmly, but one of the Lucia Guild members was thrown away after having his heart pierced by the White Root, which shocked all the other members. They clearly knew that they were no longer invincible, but they could not retreat at this point.

“Everyone, don’t stop attacking! Keep charging the White Root because it is wounded too! And the enemy has suffered more casualties than us!” Umberto shouted harshly.

When their leader pushed them harder, they had no choice but to charge at their opponents reluctantly because they saw no other route to get out of this place.

While they were fighting in such low morale, the Myongjin camp cheered joyously.

“Wow! We finally broke the enemy’s fighting spirit!”

“They’re human like us, after all!”

“Cheer up!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Myongjin! Myongjin!”

“Juyoung Hong! Juyoung Hong!”

The Myongjin players continued to fight even when their colleagues were killed right before their eyes. And they continued to hold out strongly.

In the end, this was a fierce battlefield, so it was quite common to see their friends and brothers die on the battlefield. What made them feel so much frustrated and powerless until now was the fact that they could not inflict any damage on the enemies.

And even though the White Root appeared, they discovered that it was very weak compared to normal. But upon witnessing the White Root continue attacking even though its branches were torn and cut, and finally kill an enemy, they could not help but shout for joy..

So the Myongjin players launched a series of attacks for the first time, which turned the tide of the battle which had been in the enemy’s favor. They even began to overwhelm and push them back little by little. As a result, the Lucia Guild members also began to collapse one by one.

At that moment, other voices were heard.

“Help Myongjin!”

“Help Myongjin to defeat the enemy!”

A group appeared exactly in the West Gate where the Lucia guild members had invaded form before. They were the members of the Mirae Guild.

As a result, the Lucia Guild members were in danger of being trapped in between them.

Sensing that his plan had failed, Umberto frowned angrily.

Obviously, the Lucia Guild led by him gained the upper hand in this fight, but his whole operation was ruined when the White Root appeared.

Umberto glanced at the White Root, which was partially damaged, as well as the Mirae Guild members.

“Well, my plan has failed!” he muttered in a low voice to himself.

Of course, Umberto wasn’t the only one who felt so.

“We must retreat!”

“If we keep dragging our feet here, we won’t be able to retreat!”

All the Lucia Guild members urged him to retreat immediately.

But he was adamant.

“We can’t retreat! Keep attacking the Myongjin players! Kill even one more!”

“…”

“…”

“…”

There was a momentary silence, but it didn’t last long.

The silence was broken by the Lucia Guild members swearing at their leader.

“You bastard!”

“You said we would not meet Juyoung Hong here!”

In the end, they had no choice but to resist because his order basically ordered them to sacrifice themselves.

But Umberto shouted, “Become weak and broken!”

[You have received the Lucia Guild leader’s order of weakening.

-All your stat points are reduced by 50%.]

[You have received the Lucia Guild leader’s order of restriction.

– Your combat power is reduced by 50%.]

[You have received the Lucia Guild leader’s order of containment.

-You can’t use any skills. ]

“If you still want to be killed by me even after I’ve restricted you, let me know. Maybe you want to die first?”

As if he was not content with such orders, Umberto opened his mouth, pointing his hand at one of his subordinates.

“Die!”

[You have received the Lucia Guild leader’s order to die.

-You die immediately.]

“Khuuuuuuuuk!”

There was a big commotion amongst the Lucia Guild forces. Some of them were killed while revolting against their leader, some killed by the Mirae Guild members charging from behind them, and others killed without doing anything because they were shackled by their leader.

Then Umberto secretly disappeared as if nothing had happened to him..
