ACT 5 Under their Feet…

Ka bang, flash-!

A flash of light ripped through the darkness The sky had been cloudy since the early evening and noas pouring heavy rain with occasional lightning But even the heavy rain couldn’t cool off the heat of the nificent battle

“Wah ah ah ah!”

“These guys who have no idea of fear, die!”

“Shut up, you villains! We’ll defend the peace of New World!”

The users didn’t rest and kept on swinging their weapons towards Jewel’s party In the heavy rainfall, hundreds of people were tangled together and their use of skills caused various flashed in the darkness When the flashes reflected off the raindrop, an aed towards each other like lions in the light

“These bastards, so sloppy… Annihilate all of thereat spirits of the wind……”

Then an Elemental Shaman stared at a user and chanted a spell It was a wide area icians’ wide area attack was theattack It was risky if used incorrectly, but the wide area e the situation Especially considering the huge level difference between the secret society and the users For lower level users, their ic would deal them a fatal blow

“Huck, a wide area ic!”

The users discovered too late that an Ele a wide area spell

“Huhuhu, it is too late One with the wind…”

Then just as the wide area ic was about to be completed…

“Over here!”

One person shot an arrow in the darkness Then so kicked the Elemental Shaician mouth was forced shut and the spell was cancelled The round

“It would be dangerous if that was completed”

“Ack, my teeth…heok, you’re Ark!”

“I’nize me but I’m busy so please die”

Ark laughed and stabbed the Elemental Shaman in the back Next he used Dark Blade and combined with backstab, 30 of the Elemental Shaman’s health was instantly lost The Eleht his target Ark used Dark Dance to attach himself like a leech and hurled quick attacks

“Ugh, over here! Ark is over here!”

The Elemental Shaman as in a critical condition screamed and tried to run away Then four of the secret society uard to the Elemental Shaman But Ark didn’t pay any attention to the attacks of the secret society members No, to be exact there was no reason to pay attention to it

“This bastard, you’ll die for rushi+ng in here recklessly!”

The secret societytheir weapons towards Ark Then a black shadow suddenly appeared at Ark’s back

“……He didn’t come alone you morons Sun, Gae, Yeol, Seom!”

The black shadoho er flew through the darkness towards theers were stabbed into the body of the secret society ers e by 10 times, ‘Ten Strikes’ It was Sha his occupation to ‘God Killer’ The secret societytheir health to drain quickly But that was just the beginning Shambala also used his ‘Cruciate Flower Wave’ which had reached Master level to attack theEleroup to help

“Is it tough taking care of them by yourself?”

“Don’t play around This much is just entertainment for me”

“Well I’ll help since I’m already here Dark Blade!”

“Sheesh, you want me to hand them over? Cruciate Flower Wave!”

It was the pair of Ark and Shambala that had conquered the Evil Silrion! The secret society members who couldn’t even handle Shambala died after a few moments

‘Phee’ve dealt with the priests and icians to some extent’

Ark panted as he ran out of breath and looked around While Ark had used various scheroup, once the battle started it had tilted to Jewel’s favour as expected Those strategies couldn’t overco disadvantage, the users’ formation hadn’t collapsed yet The first reason for that was the power of the broadcast The fight would be broadcast in real time Therefore the users showed enormous concentration in battle in order to improve their appearance In order to increase the at to drink potions like water And the second reason was because of Ark and Shaht into the eneicians and priests that controlled a battlefield It was because of the wide area ic from the priests! In New World, these two occupations had the roup battle So Ark infiltrated the eneicians and priests He was level 383 With the dark attribute bonus he was level 574 so he didn’t hesitate to jump into enemy lines where hundreds of people swarmed But even if he was over level 400, it would still be difficult alone However, Ark wasn’t alone

‘It really does feel different whenever I fight with this guy’

Ark looked at Shaht in ith thousands of people and also hunted with various professions But he only felt this co with Shambala When paired with Shambala, they didn’t need to speak at all Most times Shambala had already moved before Ark could even speak a word And Ark also knehere toIt was thanks to the sense of solidarity gained froether in the Evil Silrion and in the Seutandal conquest war

‘It is also the same with Shambala…!’

Then Sha the war situation pointed to one side and shouted

“Ark, this time it is over there!”

Sha towards the left side of Lancel’s defense formation Jewel realized that the users’ resistance was ht and concentrated the secret society h Thus the users erethat spot immediately started to die

“We have to hurry In that state they won’t be able to hold it!”

“Understood, wait a minute!”

Ark nodded and started feeling around in theup from where the elemental shaman had died

-Eleic)

Armour type: Cloth Gloves

Defense: 26

Durability: 150/150

Weight: 30

User Restriction: Level 180, Elemental Shaman exclusive use

A pair of luxurysilk woven froic of the fairies, the affinities of the Elemental Shaman will increase

<option: intelligence=”” +20,=”” eleic=”” attacks=”” +5=””>

‘Huhuhu, I got another one!’

Ark looked warmly at the informationThat was another reason why Ark broke into enemy lines In New World, users ere a part of the NPC faction during the ouldn’t become chaotic if they murdered the opponents Meanwhile, the users who attacked the NPC village were chaotic And when a chaotic player died, they always dropped one equipment However this was a very important point

‘The chaotic players also know that they will drop an equipment if they die And it is i in a battlefield’

Therefore Jewel’s groupthat they thought cheap equipment would be sufficient On the other hand, the Lancel defenders weren’t chaotic so their chances of dropping equipment were very low except when a scroll was used on them There was also the insurance so they felt coic equipment That was another reason why the Lancel defenders were able to endure the attacks

‘But the rear support likeso they are far ic items!’

Thus Ark risked danger and plunged into eneicians and priests because of this reason Coood equipo 70 of the was already filled with 30 ic items

“Is gaining iteht in a situation like this?”

Sha next to Ark rin

“You wouldn’t do it That’s e have good chemistry”

“Don’t talk nonsense Hurry up and collect the items!”

“Okay, let’s go!”

Ark and Shambala rushed over to the defensive line The situation was ht When Jewel and Duke led the secret society members directly, the users under fire couldn’t even last 1 minute While Ark had placed a lot of users in the defensive line, there were only 40~50 users re ere in a critical condition

Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!

Razak was also trying toIron Fire Wall But even roup struck him and he collapsed like a sandcastle

“Ark, it has begun! Heavy Rain Sword!”

Sharoup was crowded and used his skill Hundreds of daggers ee

“It’s my turn now Flash!+”

Ark followed up with his wide area skill Flash It was Ark and Shambala’s wide area skill co the defense fore and stumbled

“It is Dark Wolf and Blue Sword!”

The users cheered as Ark and Shambala appeared The secret societythem from the rear shouted

“K-kill theuys!”

Jewel yelled while withdrawing and using long distance attacks While he had a high amount of pride, he could admit that he wouldn’t ith frontal attacks Thus Jewel avoided engaging with Ark and commanded the secret society members to Anyway, they flocked like vultures at Jewel’s command Meanwhile, the archers siicians started chanting spells Then Shambala saw Ark and shouted

“Ark!”

“I know It is close…aha, here it is!”

Ark had been looking around for a short tiround Then a mechanical sound was heard and poison arrows fleards the icians But that wasn’t the end Every tiround an explosion of arroould occur and strike the opponents

“T-this is…heok!”

Jeho had been chanting a spell also stumbled as a poison arrow hit hi a soliloquy

“Stupid bastards, you shouldn’t have plunged into enemy territory without some countermeasures Furtherainst you?”

Soeous than attacking The strong point was that they knew the place being attacked so they could e of that and laid some traps operated by a switch When the traps didn’t activate while the assaulters were charging, Jewel’s group assumed that there were only holes and no traps The traps also didn’t activate in the

“Y-you really……kill! Kill him!”

“Not a chance!”

Ark triggered another hidden switch and smoke appeared A smoke trap! The visions of the secret society members were suddenly trapped so they hesitated At the same time, Ark and Shambala ran up to them And unleashed a feast of spectacular attacks!

“Petrification of Blood!

“Dark blade!”

Pepepepeng, ka kwang!

It was the cooperative technique of Ark and Shambala Shambala’s Petrification of Blood turned the warriors into stone They couldn’t move or attack but their defense also increased by 500 However, Ark’s Dark Blade ignored all defense so that didn’t lare as their petrification loosened the moment they died It was a basic coordinated technique Shaap in the enee of it to deal critical hits And when Ark’s kicks caused an eneer would be driven into their stomach! It was a harmony so perfect there was no room for even a needle to enter! But that wasn’t all of Ark’s weapons

“There are four archers 10 ht!”

Ark shouted as the archers prepared to use ‘Precision Fire’ Then the raccoons eed from a hole and fired cannons at them Yes, the holes of the raccoons weren’t just to prevent the assaulters’ charge The raccoons wouldof their cannons

“daain!”

The secret societytheir swords at the raccoonsHowever, the raccoons disappeared into the hole like the ed from another hole to fire their cannons There was also the possibility of the opponents entering the hole But how could ordinary users deal with the inhabitants of the Underground World inside their tunnels? If they plunged into the hole then they would just die in vain like the assaulters It was theswitch operated traps and the raccoons! Meanwhile, Ark and Sha with 40 members of the secret society Ark didn’t care about his health andhis skills It was because of the Vampire Stone and Mana Steal Stone inserted into the Promised Sword Just like with Bread, the Hearthstones couldn’t display a huge effect against one opponent However, this was a situation with many opponents

He could steal the health and o! The Explosion stone also wrecked so enemies

“Ooooooh…”

“Is that really Dark Wolf and Blue Sword fighting?”

“That…no way No ainst a lot of opponents……”

The users forgot they were in a battle and just idly watched the two of the If this scene was broadcasted then it was normal to think the opponents eak But the users had been beaten to a critical condition just now by the secret society members It wasn’t possible to think of them as weak Then the ansas that Ark and Sha! No, there was no need to coination of a general user! The standards that Ark and Shambala showed couldn’t be simply compared anymore

“I can’t just stand by after watching this!”

“We have to help Dark Wolf and Blue Sword defeat the villains!”

“Wah ah ah ah!”

The users’ spirits were ignited and they pushed back onto the battlefield Despite Ark and Sharoup still had the upper hand in power However, the users’ morale doubled which increased their pohen they attacked Jewel’s group On the other hand, the secret society members had their morale fall to the bottom and couldn’t counterattack properly

‘That’s it, the urgent fire has been put out’

Ark instantly checked the 15 split screens floating The reason Ark sent the video to the broadcasting station directly wasn’t just for the sake of a lucrative video By using the 15 carasp the entire battlefield By looking at the split s, he could see that it was still disadvantageous to the Lancel defenders While Ark and Shambala moved quickly and conquered the crisis, dozens of users on the other side of the defensive ere falling down Yet Ark and Shao support the situation!

‘……It’s not possible’

“Racard, coht”

“Chik…chik…understood I’”

When Ark communicated wirelessly, Racard used satellite surveillance lided over the heads of Jewel’s group that were his target

“I’ve arrived in the mission area Over!”

“Okay, commence the operation!”

“Yes!”

Ssak ssak ssak, ssak ssak ssak ssak!

Then Radun who had been clinging onto Racard opened his e eed from Radun’s mouth and fell That was the reason why he previously only used half of the Fire Stones

Ka kwang, ka kwang!

When Radun hanging onto Racard dropped the bothe screens saw the secret society members receive the bomb baptism Unlike the explosion in the fake Lancel, this time the bombs 100 hit The result was fatal! The secret society members received a blohich nearly destroyed them

“Ohh, now! Attack!”

The users who regained theirthe secret society members But Racard’s and Radun’s part hadn’t ended yet

“Radun, you did well Return to the scheduled point to finish your job!”

Racard fly do and dropped Radun off Radun crawled along the battlefield at a treue around Then the users on the battlefield started to become confused

“Eh? The chaotic users have been killed but why haven’t any equipment dropped? Has someone already collected it?”

Yes, this was Radun’sdropped into the battlefield Lots of secret society members died from the bombs and the users’ counterattack Of course there would be a large ae into the battlefield and collect the items Of course, this operation was risky It wasn’t unusual for Radun to go around a battlefield by himself But this time they were users They were different from stupid monsters They were likely to be suspicious of snakes wandering the battlefield

‘But he won’t be found in this confused fighting’

The reason Ark was sure about this was because of Radun’s new skill

-Radun has manifested an ability of the Alamone

The Ala in the Netherworld However, treasure hunters have attacked it thanks to its ability to s japtem and they are currently in the state of extinction Thanks to that unfortunate history, the Ala overdue ability to hide themselves The last Alamone Radun has realized that power after a lot of experience

Protective Colouration (Beginner, Racial Special Quality): Radun can assi environinner’s Protective Colouration, 60 assi environment will be applied But the effect of the assie of vision is restriction such as at night time or in bad weather

<60 assi=”” environment=”” 5=”” mana=”” will=”” be=”” consu=””>

Since Radun often collected loot alone, he had manifested the Alamone’s ability to hide If it was daytime then it was difficult for Radun’s Protective Colouration to coht now the battlefield had the three conditions ‘night’, ‘mud’ and ‘heavy rain!’ His assimilation rate had reached 90 So Radun was coue

-Radun has acquired the ‘Steel Metal shi+eld’

-Radun has acquired the ‘Nameless Bow’

-Radun has acquired the ‘Silky Sword’……

‘Hahaha! Okay, okay Eat away!’

Ark had no ti up They were just general equipment but the number of them was truly a jackpot

Ssak ssak ssak, ssak ssak ssak ssak!

Radun swept up the equip his rabbed him

“The Airborne division has co the next instructions Over!”

“The next mission area is 30 metres ahead of you”
