Chapter 375: The Land That Summons Monsters (4)
After a while.
The arena had 90 people, but now there were only 61 left.
Then a middle-aged man among the crowd opened his mouth.
“Asirante, could you please give up here? The tide of the battle has already turned in our favor, so you don’t have to fight meaninglessly.”
Even after this event is over, they will eventually face me either in ‘Revival Legend’ or in reality.
So they were pretty polite to me, but I didn’t like his statement that the tide of the battle had already turned in their favor.
So, I said, smiling gently, “You wish! At first glance, the tide of the battle has already turned in my favor.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The 59 people around me made a surprised expression at my response.
Noticing it, I immediately said, wagging my fingers, “I don’t want to hear you guys complaining that the retention time of your damage immunity or damage link was wasted because I dragged my feet for too long. So, bring it on now!”
As soon as I said that, they immediately began to attack me.
“Everybody, do your best!”
“Got it!”
“Understood!”
With me standing blankly in the middle of the arena, they launched countless attacks on me.
A few minutes later.
“Thorn Whip.”
“Wind Spirit’s Biting Wind!”
“Chains of hard sand!”
:
:
“Dancing Flames!”
“Chain Lightning.”
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
Barsha al-Sadd was confident that his team would beat Asirante. Of course, what Asirante has shown so far is so amazing, but his team was even more prepared for this final match.
Moreover, Asirante didn’t take any defensive action as if he was resigned, even though he challenged them to bring it on.
So Barsha thought Asirante wanted to keep his pride by bluffing like that because he could not bring himself to give up.
However, he had no choice but to feel something strange and even scared when he discovered Asirante was standing tall without frowning at all despite the incessant fierce attacks by 59 people for over ten minutes.
Besides, even though they kept attacking him ruthlessly, they seemed to be sick and tired of doing it because they couldn’t inflict any real damage on him.
“Hang in there! We’re almost there!”
“Okay…”
Barsha shouted more loudly, but they seemed not to care because Asirante didn’t look threatened at all despite their intensive attack. Nor did he pretend to be calm on purpose.
Since they couldn’t stop attacking, the 59 people kept up the attack even though their faces had paled.
***
I have never regretted choosing stamina and willpower as the stats to grow along with my Intellect for Mutual Growth. Of course, I felt tempted to change it a bit because my strength and agility was not amazing.
But these days I’ve always thought that my choice back then was the best.
For my stamina of over 60,000 and my health of 8 million were huge enough to make me feel confident all the time. Of course, the items that I wore were far better than others.
Even though a total of 59 players attacked me relentlessly, I didn’t find them threatening at all.
Moreover, my stamina was not just related to my items and maximum health. It also affected the natural recovery of my health, so it helped my recovery a lot, even though my health did not fully regenerate after their attacks.
At that moment, the golden string that tightly bound the guy who used damage immunity gradually began to unravel. And its dark golden color also faded.
Of course, what it meant was that its retention time was going to expire soon.
Perhaps because of that, the faces of the 59 guys attacking me gradually darkened.
So I shouted loudly enough, so they could all hear me.
“You guys are getting close to a timeout.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
They clearly looked bewildered at my words.
Not caring about their expressions, however, I just focused on the golden line, for I was going to attack them as soon as it was untied.
Did I want to vent my anger on them? Of course, not.
To be honest, I wasn’t that upset with them. They just maximized their capabilities to confront me, but their attack didn’t have any effect on me.
In any case, when the golden string loosened, faded, then disappeared without a trace, I opened my mouth immediately. At that moment, the man who stayed put after using damage immunity finally began to move.
“Ice Punishment!”
Bang!
“Kheeeeeeek!”
It was my first fatal attack against the target.
Of course, my target was that man who had just begun to move after using damage immunity.
He fell down, screaming, after my Ice Punishment struck him.
In other words, their tactics aimed at me were no longer useful.
Perhaps because of that, all of them looked at me in frustration, but I had no intention of sharing their frustration and sorrow, so I counterattacked them immediately.
“Blizzard! Ice Tornado!”
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
Wheeeeeeeeng.
“Kheeeeeeeeeeeh!”
“Khuuuuuuuuk!”
Until a minute ago, they showed their invincible spirit freely. But then they began to fall one by one as if they had never done so.
A little later I was left alone in the arena that was crowded with these guys.
At that moment, a message rang.
[Congratulations! You have won the ‘King of Kings’ match.
– In return, you receive the following reward.
: All members of Myongjin Team 1 receive 1 billion golden rings.
: All members of Myongjin Team 1 receive 500 remaining stat points.
: All members of Myongjin Team 1 receive 20,000 coins.]
“…”
My current victory was that of the King of Kings.
In other words, it was natural I expected more rewards than this.
In fact, that was the case when I won the ‘Strongest Player Selection’ event.
However, the reward this time was the same as what I received by winning the event within Region 11.
Of course, this reward was by no means small because when counting all the team members’ rewards, they totalled 2 billion golden rings, 1000 remaining stat points, and 40,000 coins for only a few days worth of effort.
Nonetheless, I felt the reward was still a little lacking.
But another message rang at that moment as if to tell me I should not have any regrets.
[The following rewards are given to the Myongjin Guild selected as the strongest guild in all regions and to everyone who belongs to the Myongjin Guild.
: The title of ‘Strongest Guild’ is issued to the Myongjin Guild.
: 2000 non-exchangeable coins are awarded to all members of the Myongjin Guild. (The 30 people who participated in the event are the exception.)
: 200 remaining stat points are awarded to all members of the Myongjin Guild. (The 30 people who participated in the event are the exception.)]
“Hehehehe!”
This time I could make a hearty laugh because the reward was so huge.
Moreover, among the rewards was the title of ‘The Strongest Guild.’
“Check title, Strongest Guild.”
I was already rewarded better as a direct participant in the event.
I had some regrets about the reward. Obviously, 2000 coins and 200 remaining stat points weren’t a lot, but they were far from small at all.
