Chapter 225
“That’s enough.”
At a point when Sloth had absorbed a decent amount of stats, Jeong-hoon decided to stop him.
“Whine…”
Though he hesitated with a look of regret, he obeyed Jeong-hoon’s command and stepped back.
======================
[Seven Deadly Sins]
– Type: Sloth
– Level: ?? (Grows as it absorbs stats)
– Grade: Rare
[Detailed Stats]
– Strength: 56
– Agility: 57
– Stamina: 56
– Defense: 58
– Wisdom: 56
– Mana: 56
– Spirit: 56
====================
“For how much he’s absorbed, the growth is way too slow.”
Jeong-hoon couldn’t hide his disappointnt. After all, he had already confird it through a monster.
‘It couldn’t absorb the monster.’
Even after defeating the monster, Sloth hadn’t made any move to absorb it, aning there was likely a limitation—he could only absorb from other players. In a way, it was an incredibly overpowered ability.
Without a growth limit, no one could keep up if he could keep absorbing endlessly.
“So, what should I do with these guys?”
Jeong-hoon looked down at the four students whose stats had been drained. They still hadn’t regained consciousness.
After a mont’s thought, he extended his hand.
[Using Advanced Healing.]
With Advanced Healing applied, the students who had lost consciousness quickly ca to their senses.
“Hey.”
At Jeong-hoon’s call, the students flinched. Just a mont ago, the four of them had been completely defeated without any chance to resist, and as a result, their fighting spirit had been completely crushed.
Though their levels remained the sa, their stats had been downgraded to the equivalent of Level 30. They were thoroughly confused, but with Jeong-hoon right in front of them, they were trapped in an uncertain situation.
“Don’t answer, and you’ll really die. Got it?”
Jeong-hoon’s words prompted the students to quickly respond.
“Yes!”
“We’re listening!”
Finally, they were cooperating. Jeong-hoon gave a sly grin.
“Now, think of it this way—every ti you fail to answer a question, one of you dies. Are you avatars?”
The students’ eyes shook with fear, and they shook their heads vigorously in response.
“Avatars…? We don’t know anything about that.”
“Really? Then where did you learn how to steal points and items?”
The theft of points and items was common but not as widespread these days. Since the thods weren’t fully known, only a few were exploiting it in the early stages.
‘If I rember correctly, it was the avatars who made contracts with the transcendent Barus that caused such chaos.’
Barus. This insane transcendent, at an Apostle-level, taught his avatars how to steal points and items, turning it into a quest. As a result, lower-level users suffered significantly, with many even losing their lives.
In other words, people who deserved to be torn apart.
‘If these guys are avatars of Barus…’
He’d kill them without hesitation.
However, the response he got was unexpected.
“We… we heard it from the guild.”
“A guild?”
“Yes.”
“Which guild?”
“Uh…”
The students avoided his gaze, looking hesitant. Jeong-hoon pulled Leviathan from his inventory and aid it at them.
“Can’t answer?”
“Eek! Golden Raccoon!”
“Golden Raccoon?”
Jeong-hoon recognized the na. Golden Raccoon—a guild that had failed to make a na for itself in New World but had suddenly risen after the ga’s reality shift and then faded into obscurity.
“Yes! We’re mbers of that Golden Raccoon guild.”
“That’s right!”
Jeong-hoon lowered Leviathan.
“Now, tell the details.”
* * *
“Heh, heh. Don’t worry! Our guild mbers are taking care of everything.”
Golden Raccoon’s guild master, Kim Ji-gang, grinned.
Though he had established the Golden Raccoon guild in New World, they were constantly overshadowed by other guilds, barely surviving. But after the ga’s reality shift, an opportunity for a coback arose.
A transcendent had approached him with a contract offer, no less. On top of that, the quests were nurous, and even using guild mbers to complete them was allowed.
From that day forward, Kim Ji-gang began actively recruiting guild mbers, particularly targeting students, as younger mbers were more inclined to display their strength.
‘Join the guild, and you’ll gain lots of benefits. All the points and items you steal are yours to keep.’
With rewards and privileges for stealing, it was an enticing offer that drew students into Golden Raccoon.
