Chapter 253 (2/2)

“Hooo.”

I could see 10 power stones dropping from the Arabs team through the cigarette smoke.

“Hmm. Good.”

[All your stats will increase.]

[All your stats will...]

…

I succeeded in picking up all the power stones and clenched my fists as I felt vitality fill my body.

“Let’s see. Where did they go?”

I slowly walked in the direction the Korean team had fled in. I disappeared and the cigarette smoke billowed like footprints.

* * *

All of the Korean team members, including Mido, managed to escape the trap of the Arabs team. The small whirlwind caused by Choi Chuntaek was brief, but it tied up the Arabs team. However, escaping wasn’t easy. The Arabs team continued to attack from behind and only Park Muyeol could block them.

Park Muyeol guarded the Korean team from behind while at the same time, he created a whirlwind in front of him with his wooden stick. During this period, the South Korean team finally managed to escape.

“Gasp. Gasp...”

“...I thought I was going to die.”

“We survived!”

They ran away for five minutes then they leaned against a tree and breathed. There was no longer anyone chasing from behind. Park Muyeol looked at the young people in front of him like they were pathetic. “Tsk tsk. Pathetic guys. Why are you so weak?”

The South Korean players watched Park Muyeol like he was a monster.

‘How high is his physique stat?’

‘His strength is like a monster.’

‘He is a person who deserves to be called the Stick Sage.’

Since yesterday, Park Muyeol had been called Stick Sage among users. They each looked at Park Muyeol and had their own interpretations. Park Muyeol, who knew the truth, laughed in his heart. He knew very well why his physical strength was so high.

[The stick star, ‘Hercules,’ is saying to not be so complacent since you are stronger because of him.]

‘Bah.’ He knew it himself. Hercules was a human before becoming a constellation so he had a high rate of assimilation with Park Muyeol. This was why his strength, physique, and agility gradually rose to resemble Hercules. He was a fraudulent character even if he stayed still.

Just then, a ghost appeared in front of them.

“Kihuhuhu—!”

“......!”

Park Muyeol used Power Wave the moment he saw it. The attributeless attack cut down the ghost race at once and even the trees beyond it. The great power left the South Korean team speechless.

“......”

“......”

“...This is a scam.”

The first one to raise the issue about unfairness was surprisingly Kim Hyeonu. He had worked really hard to get stronger for the World Competition. However, he couldn’t beat the two seniors who were on the same side. It was because they had Star Fruit abilities.

‘I will have to start looking for a Star Fruit at the end of the competition.’

Kim Hyeonu had personally experienced the fraudulent strength of the Star Fruit. He vowed he would find one and become a Star Fruit ability user after the competition. However, now he was facing another crisis. A large army of undead was coming from a distance.

“Damn. It is those French guys.”

“Oh, it is difficult to deal with them.”

“Everyone, aim your guns.”

All of the Sudden Force members aimed their guns at Lim Changyong’s order. Lim Changyong, Lim Sara, Kim Cheol, and Park Jangsoo were ready to launch ranged attacks.

“Fire.”

Tatatata! Tatang! A variety of magic bullets flew through the air, but that was it.

The undead who didn’t die rose again and were running toward this place. Lim Changyong ordered the retreat and tried to escape again. Then Park Muyeol stepped forward. The distance between him and the undead was less than 50 meters.

“Tsk tsk. It is like this because you’re shooting.”

Park Muyeol’s wooden sword glowed golden and a white light emerged from it as he swung it quickly. The fast-paced sword energy with no attributes reached the undead at that time and once again broke through the undead, crushing everything in front of him. However, even Park Muyeol faced something unexpected. The pure white sword energy disappeared uselessly.

“......!”

[The stick star, ‘Hercules,’ says they are stronger.]

Louis Cassel’s power had increased after entering the first stage of the forced lich transformation. His power of death grew stronger, allowing him to create stronger undead. If they died, he could still recreate them. His advance was like a reaper harvesting death.

Park Muyeol saw the scene in front of him and turned back quietly. “...Run away.”
