Chapter 416: That Name (4)
The Lucia Guild leader felt frustrated for the first time. His frustration became deeper because he was firmly convinced that he was the hero in turbulent times when he saw his own power as well as that of the Lucia Guild that he created growing gradually by subjugating the enormously strong guys one by one. He was responsible for sending Asirante to Region 0 through Pablo’s wall-penetrating skill. And although he killed him in person, he also used Matthias who possessed the “Ancient Monster Summoning Energy” to make the Myongjin Shelter the cursed Land Summoning Monsters.
As time passed, his frustration turned to hatred and resentment against Asirante because the latter had what he didn’t have.
But now an opportunity came along. Of course, he was not going to launch a direct attack against Asirante, but his family and those inside the Myongjin Shelter. And such an option was not bad because it would end up inflicting damage to Asirante, after all.
So he quietly opened his mouth.
“Summon him!”
At that moment, a voice came out of the room where the Lucia Guild leader was pondering alone.
“Yes, sir!”
***
It’s been five days since I set foot here in Kuhana. During the past five days, I could collect some good information I wanted. I continued to kill the enemies whenever I had a chance to, or if I didn’t see them, I actively tried to hunt them. The more I hunted here, the stronger I grew, while the enemies got weaker and weaker.
Moreover, the system would calculate each extra enemy and add it to my compensation. In other words, if I had no other choice but to get rid of them, I had to kill them as many as possible because I would not have another chance like this later.
Based on the information I got for the past five days, I discovered that this place was a strictly hierarchical society. Each of them had a residency number.
For example, residences 1-10 were called the Royal District.
Residences 11-50 were called the Major District.
Residences 51-150 were called the Regular District.
Residences 151 – 300 were called the Rookie District.
Of course, there were also other areas for those in the 400s and 500s, and even beyond 1000s, but those who were treated well were those within the 300s.
Basically, there was no title for the residences for those whose residence numbers were over 300.
As a rule, one Royal District managed from three to ten Major Districts, which in turn managed some Regular and Rookie Districts. It was exactly a pyramid-style system.
And about 14,000 people who participated in this event called ‘Advance Team’ that I belonged to were currently in the jurisdiction of the 7th Royal District that managed 13 Rookie Districts, 8 Regular Districts and four Major Districts.
Moreover, the ruler of the 7th Royal District, who reigned like a king, was a person called Fashant, the incarnation of the Spirit King. If I had to be precise, only Royal Districts 1-4 were truly “royal”, and the rest of them were more or less the same. Similar ranking existed for the Major, Regular and Rookie districts, but I didn’t want to care about such differences too much because I already found a lot of information about them.
“Alright. Since I stormed the 277th Rookie District yesterday, let me target a better district today.”
As soon as I said that, I used Blink with zero cooldown. Then I used Fly right away, before continuing to move using Blink with zero cooldown. Perhaps because of my crazy actions like this, the enemies did not seem to be able to come to their senses even after I fought them for five days. Obviously, they could not figure out where I was darting in and out from.
By the time I was done teleporting, I saw a huge residence area before my eyes.
Based on my experience until now, I immediately discovered that it was the residence area for those who fell into the Regular District.
Since this place was a strict hierarchical society, the best and most glamorous things belonged to those in the Royal District, followed by those in the Major, Regular and Rookie districts. Because of this, those in the lower districts could never afford more luxuries than those in the higher districts. What if they want to be extravagant? There was only one way. In other words, they could move to the higher district by getting stronger.
Anyway, I’ve found the perfect target today, so I gently landed using Blink with zero cooldown on the Regular District, which was higher ranked than the Rookie District that I targeted yesterday.
“?”
“?”
“?”
Of course, those who saw me appearing out of the blue were bewildered.
But I was neither embarrassed nor surprised, so I opened my mouth straight away.
“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”
Pasasasasak!
“Kheeeeek!”
“Khuuuuuuuk!”
“Enemy!”
“Damn it! I heard that the invader was in the 277th Rookie District on the opposite side yesterday. How come he is here today?”
“Report it to Fashant in the 7th Royal District!”
“Detain him until Fashant reveals himself!”
“Soaring Fire Pillar!”
“Biting Wind of the Wind Spirit!”
:
:
“Biting Wind of the Wind Spirit!”
“Breath of Destruction.”
“Power Shot!”
I have already become notorious among them because I had been ravaging their areas for the past five days. So they greeted me furiously.
Even if they lived in the Regular District, higher than the Rookie District, they were inevitably inferior to me. And I came to realize that those who appeared in Osaka, Japan belonged to this Regular District. Even at that time, they could only collapse being unable to resist my attacks. And I was now incomparably stronger than before.
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
“Kheeeeek!”
“Khuuuuuuuk!”
“It is impossible for us to capture the enemy by ourselves. Contact not only Fashant but also the Major District for help!”
“Everyone, hang in there! The invader is so nimble that he can move quickly everywhere! If we miss him we never know how we can catch him!”
They kept collapsing at my attack, but they still didn’t stop charging at me.
If I had been weak-minded, I would have gotten cold feet even though I was overwhelming them.
But I kept attacking them without blinking an eye, using not only Blizzard and Ice Tornado, but also Ice Ball and Ice Bolt.
I didn’t feel that alone was enough, so I took out the + 8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword backed by level 3 Ice Weapon, and penetrated into the heart of the enemies. Then I wielded the sword at them directly.
Puck! Puck!
“Kheeeeek!”
“Khuuuuuuuk!”
I was in ecstasy killing them, or more precisely, this was like hunting.
I was so absorbed into hunting them like a wolf that generously poured all its abilities and efforts into hunting a single sheep.
At that moment, I felt some powerful energy behind me.
“Blink.”
Bang!
No matter how powerful the energy was, I was not weak enough to be thrown away by the enemy’s powerful strike. But I didn’t want to allow for such an attack, so I avoided it using Blink immediately. Then I encountered a strange creature before me.
His face was as cold as ice, or it was really ice itself. His body was on fire, his legs were made of earth, and his arms were made of wind.
Then this creature opened its mouth.
“What relationship do you have with Jiwon Lee?”
