Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 458 - Battle (2)



Chapter 458 – Battle (2)

As soon as he noticed the roots, Chairman Yon opened his mouth.

“Do you have a video feed showing the inside of the Myongjin Shelter?”

“Yes!”

Shortly afterward, a tablet-like device was placed in front of Chairman Yon, so everyone could see the strange happenings through the tablet. A kind of barrier was built by the roots around the Myongjin shelter, and the usual bare ground was still intact within the barrier.

After checking it, Bora Yon softly opened her mouth.

“Unlike others, Juyoung built an ark on the ground.”

When she said that, none of them showed any particular reactions after noticing that the root wall looked stronger and safer than the ship they were on.

They were just amazed at his extraordinary strength and tactics.

In the conference room of the Myongjin Shelter a week later

“I think that the Land of Despair has encroached on all continents, leaving only a portion of the North Atlantic Ocean intact. So in a day or two, the whole earth will be covered with the Land of Despair.”

“We have little time left now.”

“Yes.”

The enemy said that they would reveal themselves once the Land of Despair completely covered the whole Earth and made it second Kuhana.

I was rather glad to hear it because there were only two days left at most.

Obviously, I had no other choice but to confront them to move to the next phase.

And it was impossible for me to avoid confronting them. So I would rather have fought it out with them as soon as possible. In the past, I really wished I could delay the fight in which I had to bet everything, but since I could not put it off any longer, I had no choice but to face it. Besides, I could not access Revival Legend any more because I needed the roots to remain on standby to block the Land of Despair.

Of course, I wasn’t afraid of the Land of Despair because I succeeded in upgrading the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword to +15 enhancement, and had finished preparing my skills. In other words, I did all I could do for this fight.

So I kept waiting for the enemy to appear and reveal themselves,

***

In Australia two days later.

Shuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuuuung-

A group of people appeared exactly at the place where the Land of Despair first appeared. And I heard a message as soon as they revealed themselves.

[You are now in the Land of Despair.

-You belong to Kuhana.

: All stat points increase by 50%.

: Health and mana increase by 50%.

: The performance of all your passive skills increases by 50%.

: The power of all your active skills increases by 50%.

: All your skill cooldowns decrease by 500%.

: Your combat power continuously increases. (Up to a max of a 50% increase.)

: The auto-recovery of health and mana greatly increases. ]

“Lol! We have completed the Land of Despair. Now this will be our new home!”

“Wow!”

“Kuhana! Kuhana!”

When the guy who I thought was their leader shouted, the others cheered for joy excessively.

When their enthusiastic shouting disappeared, the guy who appeared to be their leader opened his mouth again.

“First, we’re going to give up those who have voluntarily decided to be birds and fish without knowing anything. After all, if those respected people come here, they will crawl out of the sky and out of the water by themselves. Before that, we’re going to clean up the mess on the ground!”

“Understood!”

“All right!”

After that, those from Kuhana began to move.

Of course, the Land of Despair appeared for the first time in Australia, but the whole earth has been covered with the Land of Despair by now.

In Chicago, USA.

Shuuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuuuug-

In Berlin, Germany.

Shuuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuuuug-

In Cape Town, South Africa.

Shuuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuung- Shuuuuuuuuuuug-

People from Kuhana appeared all over the world.

Backed up by enormous buffs, they moved around proudly.

The next day, the red and black Land of Despair devoured not only mankind but also the monsters on Earth. Of course, those who raised their reality actualization rate managed to move by walking on the Land of Despair because they were not killed instantly on the spot like the ordinary people who didn’t raise their reality actualization rate.

But the fact that they were not allowed aboard the ships secured by giant guilds or groups meant that they were relatively weak.

“Kheeeeek!”

“Khuuuuuuuuk”

“I don’t want to die like this…”

Flop!

Flop!

Obviously, they were already weak from the start, but they were weakened even further by the Land of Despair, but they were even debuffed by the Land of Despair. Because of that, they were even weaker than the ordinary people.

Besides, those who came from Kuhana were basically strong opponents.

On average, they were much stronger than these weak players on Earth.

What’s more, those from Kuhana were receiving enormous buffs while those on Earth were being debuffed. So it was like a fight between an adult and a child.

So the people from Earth fell like the leaves falling in the autumn wind.

In many places around the world they collapsed helplessly at the attack from the Land of Despair.

“Lol! Kill them all!”

“It is a shame to leave them intact here in the second Kuhana! Wipe them out!”

“Wow!”

Those from Kuhana continued to move around, killing everybody who belonged to the Earth without mercy as if they were taking revenge until they ran into something huge and brown looking like a rampart, except it was waving and dancing.

***

The rooftop of the first main base of the Myongjin Shelter.

Even though the people there were in the Land of Despair, they were fearless. In fact, there was a smile on their lips. =

If that’s the case, they could only be one race; those from Kuhana.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be happy and smile in satisfaction like that in the Land of Despair.

Even though they were approaching the Myongjin Shelter, I didn’t step forward because they were not the people I had been waiting for.

Moreover, even if I did not step forward, there was somebody, or more precisely, some being that could fight for me. In other words, the roots.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

“Kheeeeek!”

“What the heck is this?”

“Damn it! Right now we are receiving buffs from the Land of Despair…”

“How come this is so powerful?”

Apparently, the enemies were quite surprised by the roots’ power.

Even though the roots didn’t kill all of them with a single strike, most of them collapsed in the end. And they were even receiving enormous buffs thanks to the Land of Despair at the moment.

But I already expected such results.

Of course, I had some regrets because if the message had rang a bit earlier, or more precisely, if it had rang before the Land of Despair encircled the Myongjin Shelter, I could have made the ark even bigger.

[The roots have absorbed Denayan’s wood shards.

-The roots have succeeded in securing a springboard to grow beyond their limits as a root and evolve into a higher-level being.

– The Roots grow significantly.]

Moreover, the message did not end there.

[The roots own ‘Fragments of the Origin III’.

-It has some influence on the roots’ evolution into a higher-level being.]

When people think of roots, various plants, including flowers and trees, come to their minds.

But the roots were part of a tree, strictly speaking, because I obtained the roots from a boss monster in the form of a tree called the long-rooted ancient tree.

Moreover, the message this time rang after the roots absorbed the ‘Denayan’s wood shards’. Of course, there was no drastic change in the roots.

But the White Roots were bigger and harder than before, and so were the other brown roots. The quantity of the roots also increased much more than before.

And that was the result of the growth of the roots that I was witnessing right now..
