Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 68 - Half (2)

Chapter 68: Half (2)

“Hmm... good. By the way, I know that you gathered a lot of mbers to strengthen your security. Can’t they deal with that intruder? Or can you bribe him away like before?.”

“Didn’t I tell you about it already? That guy ca to take over this hunting ground. How can I bribe him? Besides, he’s a very strong guy. He is so strong that even the hundreds of guild mbers under my command can’t confront him!”

“Really? Okay, let send you a man who can get rid of that intruder, so try to buy so ti until then.”

“You had better dispatch the man as soon as possible. If you can’t, everything might go wrong.”

After ending the phone call, Soktae imdiately accessed “Revival Legend.”

As soon as he logged in, he could see a man slowly approaching the Rocky Area’s Safety Zone.

It looked like there were 600 to 700 n in this group. It was more than twice as many as the numbers I had confronted before.

But strangely enough, I wasn’t scared at all.

Then one of them walked out toward and said, “I am the Gahwa Guild leader, Soktae Kang. Who the hell are you?”

“? I’m Asirante,” I replied without any hesitation, for I started all this under the na Asirante instead of Lun.

“Good. Since you don’t want to reveal your real na, your ID is okay. For what purpose are you doing this to us now? Why is a strong guy like you wandering around here in this worthless Pioneers’ City?”

“Well, because I also like this place just like you. Why? Didn’t you guys settle down in this place because you liked it?”

“...”

Soktae could not respond to my question.

So, I casually asked, “So what? Are you now saying that you can settle, but I can’t?”

I didn’t want to engage in sothing like a political discourse with him, wearing a disguised mask and hiding my genuine intentions. So, instead of beating around the bush, I got straight to the point because I knew one of us would be the winner or loser in the end because of the quest anyway.

As if he read my mind, he opened his mouth, while shaking his head.

“Good. I know what you an. But let give you an offer. Let give you 50 million won per month. Actually, you are a very strong guy, so let give you 100 million won in cash every month. I’m not asking for anything in return, of course. Don’t you think this is enough for you?”

Of course, so people might be tempted to accept 100 million won. Well, most people would accept. But 100 million won per month wasn’t that big for .

In my case, even one stat point was more valuable to because I had no way of obtaining it except for getting items or levelling up. Getting even one more item than others would make a big difference to later. And it was much more valuable if I thought about its use in the distant future.

So I could not hide my smile at his proposal.

With a smile on my face, I said, “Sorry. I love this place so much. I must have it. Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”

Pasasasak!

The Gahwa Guild’s leader Soktae Kang made the foolish choice of taking all of his approximately 700 guild mbers out of the Safety Zone to greet .

Maybe he trusted them, or perhaps he judged as soone who would be blinded by money and easily tempted by his offer of 50 or 100 million won per month.

But if he had observed my actions until now, he should have stayed inside the Safety Zone at all costs, for I would have to go through all kinds of toils to deal with him if had chosen to do so.

“Stop him!”

“Ice Shield!”

“ga Shield!”

“Earth! Bind that guy’s body!”

“My shadow will be a string that cannot be unbound! Shadow Bind!”

“Fire Shield!”

“Summon Wind Spirit! Wind Spirit.”

Of course, there was sothing different from before.

In the past, the two 300 mber parties started fighting after I ambushed them first.

But now, the battle began with Soktae and I facing each other openly.

He may have been confident that he could beat in a fair fight, though he preferred taking the bait of 50 million or 100 million won per month.

But it was already too late. In terms of confidence, I was far ahead of him.

He made the grave mistake of offering more than 800 mbers as my target in less than 12 hours.

And so, the current fight was finished within 20 minutes starting from the ti he accessed the ga

“Damn it. What is your identity? I admit it. All the people I’ve gathered are beginners. I didn’t hire strong people on purpose. Why? Because I would have to pay a lot for strong people, which ans my share would be reduced a lot. But there is a limit to one’s strength. I’ve never even thought of a strong guy like you before. Besides, you can even rival our large group of n with your trendous attack power. I’ve also never seen one with such high defense like you,” he said, looking at blankly.

But honestly, I had no problem with dealing with even 700 people.

Above all, they had a weak sense of belonging to the Gahwa Guild, and when the situation was even slightly unfavorable to them, they began to scurry and run away at every opportunity. They were like the opportunistic army of the Tang Dynasty.

So, I casually said to him, “Our world is vast in the first place.”

“Yeah, the world is vast. But don’t hold your head high because this is not the end!”

With eyes raging with anger, he snapped and gnashed his teeth as if he wasn’t discouraged at all.

But I casually replied, “Sure, I will wait. But you’ll have to hurry. If you’re too late, I might not be there. Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrow!”

As soon as I replied, I imdiately began my final attack because I didn’t have to forgive him or reconcile with him, let alone understand him.

It was so silent in this place that I could hardly believe this was where I had fought an intense battle a little while ago.

“Man, I think I could have stord into your main base instead of using guerilla tactics.”

Obviously, I was filled with a desire to win at first, but since I was fighting alone, I used guerilla tactics to target the enemy’s Achilles tendon, this Rocky Area.

But my fighting thod was not too bad.

With an elated spirit, I moved to the Safety Zone of the empty Rocky Area.

“Move to Pioneers’ City.”

[You have been moved to Pioneers’ City]

Soon, I began to see Pioneers’ City in front of .

But I didn’t go inside because my destination was the Gahwa Guil’s main stronghold.

It didn’t take long for to reach the Gahwa Guild’s headquarters.

As expected, it was empty.

It seed that those who had survived fled to so other place other than this one.

So, I entered the headquarters of the Gahwa Guild without spilling any blood and stood in front of the large crystal in the center.

Then, I used Ice Spear toward the crystal without any hesitation.

Bang!

The crystal was smashed into pieces with just one strike.

A ssage appeared imdiately.

[The crystal stone of the Gahwa Guild located in Pioneers City has been broken.

-The headquarters of the Gahwa Guild disappears.]

Of course, the Gahwa Guild could set up their headquarters with a crystal in this Pioneers City again, but could only do so one year later.

But sooner or later another guild will take over and set up their own base here under the na Myongjin. Of course, it would not be Myonjin’s headquarters.

And then another ssage rang.

[A-level quest ‘Light the Lamp of Hope for the Salte clan!” is underway.

:Drive out the Gahwa Guild from Pioneers’ City. – success.

:Turn Pioneers’ City into a decent city with a good na. – Underway.]
