Chapter 460 - Battle (4)
Chapter 460 – Battle (4)
In the Myongjin Shelter at that time.
“Ugh?”
Since the Land of Despair didn’t affect me at all, I often crossed the wall of roots to scout as I did a little while ago.
But a message rang when I suddenly crossed the wall of roots into the Land of Despair.
[You have ‘All Buffs, All Debuffs’.
-You are in the Land of Despair, but you are not affected by it.
-You are not affected by the Energy of Despair.]
Prior to this message, there was only one message that said I was in the Land of Despair, but it had no effect on me. This time there was another message.
Since I didn’t want to ignore it totally, I immediately moved back into the Myongjin Shelter. Then I confirmed with those who stood guard behind the roots and those who were patrolling while preparing for the upcoming battle. But they acted like before as if they were not affected by the message. And the area near the main base of Myongjin Shelter was as peaceful as before.
‘Did the roots prevent the energy of despair from permeating here?’
I could not think of any other explanation.
So after confirming that the Myongjin Shelter was not affected not only by the Land of Despair, but also the Energy of Despair, I slipped out of the Myongjin Shelter and began to move to the coast of Goseong in Gangwon Province, not far from Myongjin Shelter, for the Mirae Guild had set sail from there.
‘Blink! Blink!’
When I first proposed to the Mirae Guild and Tugal Guild to bring up to 10,000 people into the Myongjin Shelter, my top priority was the Mirae Guild. But I felt a bit guilty if I made the proposal only to the Mirae Guild because the Tugal Guild followed the Myongjin Guild so gladly as if we were their boss. So I made the same proposal to them too. As it turned out, however, the Mirae Guild rejected our proposal, while the Tugal Guild accepted it.
To be honest, I wanted to tell the Mirae Guild people, or more precisely, Bora, to stop being stubborn and come into the Myongjin Shelter.
When I was just the son of the conglomerate family, she didn’t treat me exceptionally well, but she did not treat me badly either. She always treated me with respect unile others. And her kindness was more than enough for me to reach out to the Mirae Guild.
Using Blink, I approached the place where the Mirae Guild was rapidly, but as soon as I got there, I immediately noticed that the Energy of Despair was really devastating to them. What I saw there was literally hell.
“Oh my God…”
“Hey, stand up! We’ve come so far…”
“Son of a bitch! I’m going to kill all of them!”
The Mirae Guild were here with hundreds of thousands of their family members.
But like the Myongjin Guild, there were less than 50,000 who achieved their reality actualization rate after reaching level 1200.
Obviously, it was not easy for them to reach level 1200.
But all the people except for those who raised their reality actualization rate seemed to be dead. In other words, almost 80% of those died.
So those who survived were crying bitter tears while hugging and shaking those who died.
At that moment, somebody shouted.
“Lol! Our ‘respected men’ have finally come!”
“The cowards who went to the sea like fish have returned to the land!”
“Kill them all without even leaving one alive!”
“Wow!”
In fact, I steadily cleaned up the invaders from Kuhana around the Myongjin Shelter, but they kept popping out like cockroaches.
Was I sick and tired of them? Of course I was.
But I no longer felt sick and tired of them anymore because those who were charging at the sad and frustrated Myongjin Guild members uttered something that I had been looking forward to hearing. In other words, their ‘respected men’ had finally appeared. Of course, they were none other than the rulers of the Roay Districts from Kunaha.
Anyway, I moved between the invaders and the Mirae Guild using Blink.
Shuuuuuuuung-
“Huh?”
“Khuuuuuuk!”
“It’s Juyoung Hong!”
“Shit!”
“Who the hell said good prey was waiting for us? It’s a monster!”
Those who were rushing towards the Mirae Guild members triumphantly stopped immediately the moment they discovered me.
And many of them were trembling violently with their faces turning white as if they had seen a ghost.
But I opened my mouth quietly without caring about them at all.
“I hear that the rulers of the Royal Districts have arrived here?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
They didn’t reply to my question.
So I continued, “Alright. I don’t have to repeat my question. Blizzard!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
“Kheeeeek!”
“Khuuuuuuuuk”
I could kill them all using Blizzard, but I deliberately targeted those who tried to flee.
“Blink! Blink!”
Puck! Puck!
Flop!
Flop!
I killed all of them using the +15 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword which was emitting a red haze.
Even if they received enormous buffs from the Land of Despair, they could not challenge me. Besides, the Land of Despair had no effect on me.
There were now exactly three of them left.
“Hmm… I think I’ve killed a lot, but there are still as many as three people here now?”
[I’m going to tell you everything!]
At that moment, the guy in the middle opened his mouth first.
But I immediately began to get rid of the other two.
“Kheeeeek!”
“Khuuuuuuk!”
I wielded the +15 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword at the guys on my left and right.
Then I opened my mouth to the guy in the center.
“Alright. So the rulers of the Royal Districts have arrived here?”
[Oh, yes, they did. They showed up here exactly an hour ago.]
“Well, I was getting tired of waiting for them, so it’s good to hear that. Thanks for your answer! I like it.”
[Then can you spare…Kheeeeek!]
He was terrified, and I could have had him tell me more, but I didn’t.
All I wanted to know was whether the rulers of the Royal Districts arrived here, and I got the answer. That was enough for me.
To be honest, it looked like the guy had some more detailed information about them.
Anyway, I killed him, then looked back.
“…”
“…”
“…”
I just used Blizzard instead of using some other skills.
But my Blizzard at this point was far from normal.
That’s why a lot of members of the Mirae Guild were looking at me.
Tramp- Tramp-
I passed by them and approached someone with tears welling in her eyes.
It was none other than Bora Yon.
I said quietly to her, “Let’s go.”
It was my first time reaching out to someone other than my family members.
I became mellow enough to know the ways of the world after being separated from the family I grew up with while feeling inferior to my older brother and sister who were smarter than me in school. So I noticed that my family members including my father and mother already had someone in mind to be my marriage partner.
But I kept my distance from her. Of course, I had no intention of making her my woman right away. For now I only focused on reaching out to her first because she was my childhood friend.
After reaching my hand out to her and pulling her up once she grasped it, I looked at her father, Chariman Junghwan Yon, and said, “Can I escort you to the Myongjin Shelter, Chairman Yon?”
“Yes, please.”
“Sure.”
So I escorted them to the Myongjin Shelter along with their guild members.
There were as many as 50,000 guild members who followed me without any hesitation or resistance as if they took my leadership for granted..
