Vol 16 Chapter 4 (1/2)
ACT 4 Start of a Long Festival
“Surround the assault troops and attack!”
“Wah ah ah ah!”
Hundreds of Nakujuk rushed forward at the command Swords, spears and arrows flew like a shower towards a huge presence shaped like a giant lion The golden lion radiated an overwhel presence which reached over dozens of metres and covered the Nakujuk
Kuaaang! Ka kwang!
The golden lion roared and sla the earth to tear and shake Where the paw pressed against the ground, 10 Nakujuk were crushed instantly It was an intense feeling of overwhel power! But it couldn’t exert its full power thanks to the nu stepped on and crushed, the Nakujuk continued attacking Soolden lion and slashed it with their spears The golden lion’s body was covered with a fur stronger than steel which functioned as its are atthe lion Even though each person only did 20~30 dae Thanks to that, the golden lion was in dreadful shape but it still hadn’t lost its fighting spirit
“It really is a bastard It has already been 30 minutes since the battle started In the ed……”
The man inside an armour with an eerie pattern e a hood said
“This is one of the guys who once drove back the forces of darkness This much is natural”
“The forces of darkness?”
“That’s right Rather, it’s quite weak now compared to then Maybe it’s because the dimension is different You probably feel it tooHere mana recovers several times slower than on middle earth”
“Come to think of it……”
He abruptly stopped and confirmed his mana He had previously used 50 of his mana Usually it would take 15~20 minutes tops to recover But now he had only recovered up to 75 His mana recovery o times slower than when he was on middle earth
“That is because your source of mana is far away From the moment that h it isn’tof mana density caused its power to weaken If this was middle earth where the ht it using this number of Nakujuk We’re fortunate”
The old hed The old man covered in wrinkles looked a hundred years old! The olda stick of bones was the archbishop of the Asyeosu church, Maseutyu And the knight wearing the black armour was Alan
“Then it would be er in middle earth?”
Alan stared at the gold lion with surprised eyes after hearing Maseutyu’s explanation Currently Alan was in the dimension called ‘Scale’ Two months before Alan caed jobs to a Ruin Knight after swearing revenge on Ark In thehis capabilities because he acknowledged that Ark was a powerful opponent After learning the special skills of a Ruin Knight, his confidence had increased and then the Red Man appeared in front of Alan Then the Red Man told Alan so the secrets, the Red Man had asked for Alan’s help After thinking for a while, Alan had accepted Although the Red Man’s ultioal was unknown, he decided to cooperate since Ark was their enemy The Red Man’s first command was to make the ‘Scale’ dimension rise to middle earth In order for Alan to achieve this, the Red Man created a ‘spatial-temporal’ tunnel to allow him to enter Scale
Scale was originally an area which belong to ered his final destruction ic, a number of areas controlled by the world trees sank Just like Seutandal, if Scale’s world tree was resurrected then it could return to middle worldIn other words, Alan had to resurrect Scale’s world tree! But Alan had bumped into a wall after he came to Scale
‘I never thought it would be so difficult to cause a different dimension to rise……’
Alan hadn’t known this until he heard Maseutyu’s words, but Yggdrasil and Yuzuria were the weakest a the world trees After the Dark Lord used his final destruction e and didn’t sink that far However, there was still an undisclosed number of world trees The deity who created the world was called the father and s, this was actually related to the episodesThe ‘Scale’ diree of difficulty was higher The h it was rare, some level 500 monsters was also visible But the probleest obstacle to Alan’s resurrection of the world tree was the guardian of the world tree
‘It is a level 950 guardian on Baras!’
Although the naolden lion Even though he used 50『Penetration』 scrolls, he barely found any inforon Baras was not aNPC In other words, if Scale was recovered again then it would give quests to users instead of being an opponent However, the NPCs reacted different to users depending on their alignht
-Foreigner, there is a dark s from your body There is an endless hatred towards the world within your body! I can’t allow a scoundrel like you with evil intentions to approach the world tree!
The Beast Dragon Baras became hostile as soon as he saw Alan But Maseutyu knew the ‘secret of the world’ from the Red Man and already expected such a situation When Alan had used the spatial-temporal tunnel to enter Scale, Maseutyu iance to the Red Man After the Beast Dragon saw through Alan’s identity, they attacked without hesitation
-These guys…!
Kwaaaaah-!
While Alan was recalling the past, the Beast Dragon had opened soed that there were too eous But that was thefor
“Now! This is a chance for the strike force to stop his movements!”
Although shouted towards the de behind the steep ed deon and threw a black net over it Despite causing a storon was iround
-The Beast Dragon Baras was caught in the ‘net of corruption!’
<the net=”” will=”” last=”” for=”” 10=”” minutes=”” and=”” consume=”” 100=”” mana=”” every=”” 10=”” seconds=”” movement=”” speed=”” and=”” attack=”” speed=”” reduced=”” by=”” 30=””>
-Ugh, what, what the, this net is sucking my power……
When the Beast Dragon struggled and groaned, Maseutyu laughed and said
“Huhuhuhu, have you already forgotten? Try to re the ‘net of corruption’ The cursethe 100 years of darkness”
-Curse ic weaved into the net you made! Then you expected……!
“You’re still slow Yes, the descendant of the great darkness”
-Oh my God… The cursed prophecy…
The Beast Dragon sturoaned like it had received an ion raised its head violently and roared
-No, that prophecy can never coon Baras won’t let it co up! The dark forces will die in this place!
The Beast Dragon then opened itsair to swirl and be sucked in Alan and Beseutyu were 100 metres away and they were still sucked in by the destructive force! It was the worst weapon the Beast Dragon could use The Beast Dragon had the attribute of the forest and the earth, and its breathit touched While an elite level 950 NPC used it, it was impossible for the level 300 Nakujuk to resist In addition, the wide area effect spread over hundreds of metres so there was nowhere for the Nakujuk to run However, Maseutyu’s eyes lit up with delight
“Now, Alan! Do it!”
Alan rushed forward like an arrow and shot off a black ball The black ball emitted a sinister aura as it fleard Then it was drawn forward by the vortex and entered the Beast Dragon’s on flinched and stepped backwards, before he screaround
“Cough, t-this is… Kuaaaak!
“Hahaha, you fool! Yes, this is the dark energy from the Devil’s Jewel Do I need to explain what the Devil’s Jewel is?Your poill soon be used to solve the problereat darkness!”
Maseutyu shouted with an insane light in his eyes The Devil’s Jehat Alan had used to build up his power in the hideout When he drove it into the body of a specificits powerThen the Ruin Knight was able to absorb the poithin the Devil’s Jewel
“Alan, it’s tiuy’s breath!”
At Maseutyu’s words, Alan took out his sword and started participating in the battle When Alan appeared, the dark aura strengthened It was the special effect of a Ruin Knight, ‘Ruin Spirit’ Under the effect of Ruin Spirit, the eyes of the Nakujuk and demonic beasts turned mad Thanks to Ruin Spirit, his troops only cared about death and destruction It was a skill which increased attack and aggressiveness instead of defense! The Nakujuk and demonic beasts developed a on
-You! For the peace of mankind…!
The Beast Dragon who only had 2 health left ran up to Alan Alan was a villain as threatening the peace of mankind after centuries
“Berserk activate! Desire for Survival! Absolute Anger!”
Berserk was a skill which amplified hatred and increase attack by 5 for 20 minutes! Desire for Survival also increased defense by 50 for 20 ht’s skills It was the skill option attached to the ‘Plated Gauntlets of Corrupted Hatred’ and ‘Steel shi+eld of Despair’ ite the ‘Helmet of Hatred’ which reflected all attacks by 30 so he attacked recklessly When the three options were activated, Alan was covered in a dark red special effect which rendered his body not visible It was the set effect of equipping three items with hatred!
“……Three effects at the same time is not a joke”
Alan looked with satisfaction at the effect of the overlapping skills However, the opponent was an elite level 950 NPC! Just a swipe froon’s claw decreased his health by 40 However there were dozens of de ‘Touch of Darkness’ When Alan judged that the degree of dae and recovery was balanced than he approached the Beast Dragon and used various skills
“The lesser demon skill ‘Disruption,’ sword skill ‘Frenzied Sword Dance’!”
He used all the skills he learn via the Devil’s Jeithout stopping The hundreds of Nakujuk and demonic monsters continued the battle that had lasted for over 30 radually fell After the Beast Dragon’s body was torn to pieces, Alan’s sword stole its last breath and it collapsed
-Your level has risen
-Your level has risen
-Your level has risen……
When the Beast Dragon collapsed, Alan gained 9 levels at once It wasn’t only Alan The cross signs appeared over the heads of the reained 9 levels The experience froh to raise the level of all Nakujuk and demonic monsters who participated in the battle
“Phew, he really is a strong bastard”
Alan looked at his arhed But despite the difficulty, there was no other price As well as experience, the Beast Dragon also dropped a few rare items But first Maseutyu took out the Devil’s Jehich had absorbed the power of the Beast Dragon
“It was that difficult when it was already weak This is just to resurrect the Scale world tree so the guardians in the future will be even uys are strong but you will also becoh the amount of power the Devil’s Jewel can absorb is liuardian This is the reason why he entrusted this to you”
“……But will the other side be okay?”
Alan asked as he took the Devil’s Jewel Maseutyu tilted his head to one side and asked
“The other side?”
“The Red Man We cauardian but didn’t he go alone to a different dih there are a nuuardians defending it?”
Maseutyu chuckled and answered Alan’s question
“Heh, you don’t have to worry about hion previously spoke about? Before the Dark Lord fell, he left a cursed prophecyAnd he is the ‘Executor’ ill carry out that prophecy! Of course his body is still incoe, the aerial fortress Rwigenberg No, I ienberg”
Maseutyu’s eyes were filled with the light of respect For the dark NPC to trust the Red Man, as his true identity? Alan thought for a bit and asked again
“Then why didn’t that person resurrect the other world tree?”
“Until now, he still hasn’t completely awakened his full abilities There is also another reason If he visited now than he could defeat the guardian and resurrect Scale’s world tree But he previously needed the Sacred Branch in other to resurrect Seutandal’s world tree Yuzuria And that was an artifact which sprouted frodrasil So he tried to revive Yuzuria, the most complicated one first”
“But wasn’t Ark the one who resurrected it?”
“That’s because he made it happen”
Alan’s forehead wrinkled at Maseutyu’s answer Then Ark had just been used by the Red Man in that video? Coht Ark was Alan’s arch rival He was an enemy that Alan would step on and make miserable one day! Ark’s e at the thought of Ark being used by the Red Man
‘The person ill push Ark into despair isit!’
“Don’t worry He knows about your goal If you follow hioal will definitely come true”
Maseutyu said after he guess Alan’s real intention
“……What exactly is the purpose of the Red Man?”
Alan asked with an expression that indicated he couldn’t understand He was someone who knew the unknown secrets of New World! At first, Alan had thought he was an eivings about that thought There were so around Scale Meanwhile, the monsters in Seutandal were only level 300And the current average level of users in New World was 250-300When considering that point, it would take a long tiame system since users wouldn’t be able to deal with monsters in Scale if it rose
What reason would an e? In addition, the NPCs would not just blindly follow anyone However, Maseutyu’s ansas always evasive whenever Alan asked
“You just have to follow hilory that you can’t even iine”
‘It really doesn’t matter who he is’
Alan nodded Anyway, froot all thoughts about being an ordinary user No, he didn’t want to go back even if he could Alan had already seen a s to Maseutyu, he would rise to the top spot of New World if he followed the Red Man In addition, Alan’s goal wasn’t to play the gae on Ark! The moment the task was completed, Alan could rise to the top and wait patiently to kill Ark
‘The Red Man has that type of strength and power!’
“Ah, is the prepared work going well?”
Maseutyu see and asked
“Yes, a friend of s ready on middle earth”
“I don’t want to meddle but that poill definitely be useful A fli”
“I know”
The work Alan was preparing was a guild called ‘Avenger’ that Andel was organizing Currently, Andel had already organized over 500 top class users that were over level 300 Although Andel wasn’t over level 200, he was able to recruit that ah Andel was pitiful and weak, he knew better than anyone how to use money Alan became filled with self-confidence and Maseutyu nodded with a satisfied look
“If you speak like that then I’ll believe you But it will be a problem if you run out of funds The iteon should help that”
“Thank you”
“Noe should depart There are still plenty of o over in order to resurrect the world trees Will you be slower than that person as by himself?”
“I understand”
Alan and Maseutyu ordered their troops and uardian that he would bethat was on Alan’s mind
‘Just wait Ark! Your days are numbered! Scale will soon rise and the preparations to hold a festival for those who ignored in A festival of blood……!’
