Chapter 431: One Plus One (3)
“Alright. I don’t make any distinction between tanks and dealers anyway. Let me get rid of anybody who wants to block me first.”
Then I took action immediately.
“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”
Pasasasak!
First of all, I laid out Ice Field, and made sure it expanded more than 10 meters in all directions from the golem.
“Damn it! Step back a little further!”
“This is no ordinary Ice Field!”
“Ranged dealers, focus on attacking the intruder!”
As they already experienced the power of Ice Field during my guerrilla attacks, those around me retreated in a hurry.
Puck! Puck!
Bang! Bang!
While I was attacking the target, something got stuck in my body. More precisely, something exploded in front of me.
It was none other than the attack of the Giant Bow by the ruler of the 5th Royal District.
But I ignored it, for the ruler of the 5th Royal District was too valuable for me to immediately make retreat after he was stunned by my Ice Field.
Instead, I took revenge on the other guy.
“Ice Breath!”
Bang!
This was the skill that I used only once since I came to this place, Kuhana.
Except for the rulers of each Royal District, I didn’t have to need Ice Breath.
In other words, I didn’t need a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.
[Man, this guy is really strong. What should I do?]
The Ancient Golem’s face was full of surprise.
However, he did not appear to have suffered any damage unlike his surprised expression because his body had no scars or wounds even though he was attacked by level 10 Ice Breath.
Of course, he was the weakest among the rulers of the 10 Royal Districts, but he was still the ruler of the 10th Royal District anyway.
So I was not startled by the fact that Ice Breath didn’t inflict any damage on him. But I was convinced that he must have suffered some damage, even though he didn’t express it.
If that was the case, all I had to do was to accumulate his fatigue to the point that I could smash his sturdy shield with my repeated attack.
So I immediately attacked him again rather than responding.
“Blizzard!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
[Oh Ancient Golem! Give your strength to me who follows your will! Incarnation!]
Of course, golems weren’t unusual monsters. Actually, they were pretty common.
There were various types of golems ranging from clay golems, stone and iron golems to ice golems, wind golems, fire golems, and diamond golems.
So I was a bit perplexed about the identity of this golem standing before me.
If this guy was really the ruler of the 10th Royal District, and had the modifier ‘Ancient’, he must be made of a huge gemstone or an unexpectedly precious material, but he was far from it. In other words, this Ancient Golem was the most common type of golem, a stone golem that usually came to one’s mind when they imagined a golem. The only difference was that it was really huge.
When the Ancient Golem made of stones used something like Incarnation, the huge stones that made up his body suddenly started to glow.
[Oh Golem of ‘Townro’, the iron wall that no one can penetrate! Descend here!]
[Golem of ‘Karo’, the battle hero boasting of invincible records! Descend here!]
After using his incarnation, his shiny stones suddenly started to move.
Then, the stones that made up his body changed slowly to armor, then all of a sudden he was holding a giant sword that was shining brightly in one hand.
But I did not feel scared or intimidated by his appearance.
I just felt I underestimated him a bit too much.
What’s more, he was not my only opponent.
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
Bang! Bang!
The ruler of the 5th Royal District, namely, the Giant Bow, kept attacking me.
Of course, he didn’t inflict any big damage on me, but my health began to decrease quickly perhaps because he was a dealer.
“Whew, I think I was too complacent.”
Since I defeated Fashant, the ruler of the 7th Royal District, too easily, I seemed to have become too complacent before I knew it. I had to remember that I was confronting two powerful individuals that were both part of the ten strongest rulers in this Kuhana area.
So I quietly opened my mouth.
“Use Ice Weapon!”
[You have used level 3 Ice Weapon.
: The +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword is imbued with cold ice energy.]
At first, I thought that I could easily confront the Ancient Golem by using my physical power to resist his attacks while peppering him with my ranged attacks.
After I drained the Ancient Golem’s health, I would use my limited skill Savant, and defeat the Giant Bow bow. That was my attack plan.
But I now felt I had to revise my tactic and attack him properly.
Although I could not move more than 10 meters away from him, I intended to use Blink with zero cooldown within that range while avoiding his attack through the Giant Bow.
Of course, I was going to turn to melee attacks using the +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.
“Alright. I will now attack you ferociously. Be careful!”
After I shouted at him, I immediately rushed at the Ancient Golem.
As if he was upset by my provocations, the Ancient Golem also rushed at me more quickly than before.
So we started the second round afresh.
***
While Juyoung Hong was engaged in a fierce fight with the two rulers of the Royal Districts, something was going on in the headquarters of the Antalagos Guild, Brazil.
Even though the Antalagos Guild looked shabby and small, they owned not only high-end technology but also a huge building. Some of the top leaders of the guild were now watching a huge screen that normally tracked Juyoung Hong.
“What the heck…How come that root is appearing over there? It’s always accompanying Juyoung Hong, right? And Juyoung Hong has departed the Earth to take part in the event ‘Advance Party.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
When Oliveira, the leader of the Antalagos Information Guild, asked this question, none of his subordinates could answer because what he said was true.
In other words, the White Root was not supposed to appear right there.
At that moment, Brandon, who was the second ranked in the guild after Oliveira, opened his mouth.
“It is certain that Juyoung Hong is not on Earth. If he were, he wouldn’t be sitting idle while watching thousands of people belonging to the Myongjin Guild being killed like that. Thanks to the Lucia Guild’s cunning tactics, I also confirmed that the White Root could not appear in reality if Juyoung Hong stayed connected to Revival Legend.”
“Then what is that root?” Guild leader Oliveira immediately asked.
But Brandon mentioned something else instead of replying to him.
“Don’t you think the condition of that root belonging to Juyoung Hong is rather strange?”
When he mentioned it, everyone’s eyes turned to the screen again.
After watching it for a while, they also agreed that there was something strange about the White Root. In other words, the root had become weaker, and quite a lot weaker at that.
As a matter of fact, the White Root was immensely powerful when the Antalagos Guild initially collated the information about it. So much so that it was not even behind its owner Juyoung Hong, for whom they coined the nickname ‘monster’ for his tremendous power.
Nonetheless, the White Root was easily cut and torn away by the Lucia Guild members’ attack.
