Chapter 434 – Return (1)
The next day.
The majority of those who participated in the event ‘Advance Party’ had yet to leave the territory of Fashant, the owner of the 7th Royal District called the incarnation of the Spirit King. Although Juyoung Hong got rid of many members of the district, there were still a lot of enemies left to satify their daily quota of 10 enemies. Since this was the best environment in which they could obtain bonus points safely in addition to their daily quota, they established themselves in Fashant’s district, fully satisfied with their current status.
Australia’s Carnabon Guild was located near the 107th Regular District, which was under the control of the 7th Royal District.
“Captain! We just got some important intelligence!”
“What’s that?”
“Juyoung Hong has fallen into a trap set by the 5th and 10th Royal District rulers…”
“What? Did he die? No way! Without him we are finished!”
Captain Taylor shouted as if he was annoyed with his deputy’s report.
He knew very well that his party had to stay in this place for more than 15 days, and it was only due to Juyoung Hong that they could stay safe until now.
Besides, he also knew that since they had to say here for more than about ten days, the people of Kuhana and Earth would eventually fight for dominance, so it was only natural that his shouting was so desperate.
At that moment ,his deputy quickly replied, “That’s not what I mean! He fell into the trap, but he allegedly killed both the rulers of the 5th and 10th Royal Districts!”
“?”
Taylor could not help but be astonished to hear that.
So he asked again, “So, what you mean is he dueled the top rulers here in Kuhana and killed them alone?”
“Yes!”
“…”
After confirming that what he heard was not wrong, he was speechless for a moment.
Then he said quietly, “If I return to Earth, I have to offer a nice gift to Juyoung Hong and Myongjin, but I don’t know if they will like it.”
Since he came here and confronted the enemies by himself, he knew for sure how strong they were. They were literally incomparable to anybody on Earth.
Even the average person here was incomparable to Earth
In other words, with the exception of some who were extremely mightly, about 3% of those on Earth would belong to the Regular District, 20% would belong to the Rookie District, and the rest would not even fall into the Rookie District. That’s why they regarded the 10 rulers of the Royal Districts as something like gods.
But Juyoung Hong smashed them in a two-on-one match, not one-on-one, so it was natural that he was dumbfounded.
Even though both belonged to the Earth, there was an enormous gap in their strength.
Of course, Taylor also felt he was lucky to come from the same planet as him.
In any case, the participants of the ‘Advance Party’ event who heard about Juyoung Hong agonized over the same thing, namely, how to curry favor with him when they returned to the Earth.
Besides, some of those who came here were once Myongjin’s foes, so they just kept their fingers crossed that they would not fall out of favor with them because they were scared about the consequences.
Anyway, those participating in the ‘Advance Party’ event kept fulfilling their daily quota waiting until the event finished.
***
It has been 16 days since I participated in the ‘Advance Team’ event.
In the 42nd Major District under the control of the 5th Royal District.
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
“Kheeeeeeeek!”
“Man, this guy is too strong!”
“Damn it, I should have left this place like the others early on!”
Both the rulers of 5th and 10th Royal Districts were killed by me. As a result, those belonging to the 42nd Major District under the 5th Royal District were in disarray.
Of course, I spent lots of time there killing the remaining forces there mobilized by the Ancient Golem. Besides, there weren’t as many people here as I thought.
But they were more than enough for my bonus points
“Well, even if I kill more rulers of each district, I won’t earn extra rewards, so I don’t have to work hard.”
I obtained 5%, 3%, and 1% reality actualization rate, along with 3000, 2000, and 100 remaining stat poitns respectively, so I didn’t want to be greedy about killing the rulers like before.
What’s more, they must have been astonished to confirm my performance by now.
After all, I killed a total of four rulers in Kuhana, including the black liquid man, the ruler of the 4th Royal District, who I killed on Earth, and the rulers of the 5th, 7th, and 10th Royal Districts.
Besides, I killed two rulers even though I had to confront both of them at the same time.
So it was very likely that the rulers of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Royal Districts, who were deemed the strongest in Kunaha, would emerge to confront me. Maybe they would join hands together to challenge me in a three-to-one fight.
“Blink! Blink! Blink!”
Shuuuuuuuuung-
After clearing the mess here, I quickly left the place using Blink with zero cooldown.
I definitely obtained a lot here, so the only thing I had to do was to return to the Earth safely without using the Ancient Cooldown Removal Charm. I also obtained huge bonus points by getting rid of more enemies than the daily quota assigned to me.
Anyway, I moved around here and there killing lots of guys in the areas that I visited,
***
In the Myongjin Shelter in Gangwon Province at that time.
“You still haven’t found any traces of them?”
“No, sir. I’m sorry.”
“It can’t be helped. I expected it to some extent.”
Chairman Hong did not blame Director Sok who replied with a heavy heart.
Since he was briefed by Director Sok about their opponent’s whereabouts on a daily basis, he knew Director Sok had been doing his best.
Besides, he had started investigating the Lucia Guild and its leader well before they attacked the Myongjin Shelter.
Initially, they launched a curse attack by creating monsters in and around the Myongjin Shelter.
So Chairman Hong ordered Director Sok to investigate the curse attack because it not only caused great harm to Myongjin, but also shocked them a lot.
However, that happened a few months ago, and Director Sok failed to gather any specific information about the Lucia Guild and its leader.
Because of that, Chairman Hong did not expect that his deputy would find out any of the infromation about them in only a few days when they could not do so for many months.
Despite that, they could not afford to sit idle and do nothing about them.
Chairman Hong sat at his desk, thinking hard about something for a moment.
Then he said to Director Sok, “Is the Antalagos Information Guild still saying they don’t know anything about them?”
“Well, I heard that they didn’t have any information.”
“Hmm…”
Chairman Hong groaned at his reply, then said, “Are they lying or telling the truth to us?”
“Well, according to our Intelligence Department analysis, they are most likely lying to us because they are the first-rate intelligence guild.”
“…”
Chairman Hong showed no reaction this time. Then he stood up and walked over to the window before opening his mouth.
“What is the status of our recovery?”
“We’ve restored about 40% of the damage. The Mirae Guild and the Tugal Guild are also helping our recovery efforts a lot. By the time Juyoung comes back, we will be able to restore 100%.”
“Alright. Good.”
Chairman Hong didn’t take his eyes off the window even after he wrapped up the meeting.
More precisely, he was looking out the window toward the West Gate where the Lucia Guild invaded..
