Chapter 459: Battle (3)
Those from Kuhana, who were full of arrogance and majestic posture a little while ago, were busy running away in big chaos at the attack of the roots.
Then the roots attacked the guys who approached the Myongjin Shelter recklessly.
“Khuuuuuuuuuuk!”
“What the heck is this?”
Flop!
Flop!
Some of them barely survived the roots’ attack once, but even they had no other choice but to collapse at the roots’ subsequent attack.
After that, the roots moved back to their original location.
Of course, I was so proud of them.
So I even thought of taking the initiative to seek the rulers of the Royal Districts after leaving the defense of the Myongjin Shelter with the roots.
No matter how strong the roots were, the shelter would be defenseless if the rulers of the Royal Districts stormed into it all at once while I was away.
The rulers of the Royal Districts were notorious for their extraordinary strength, and as the inhabitants of Kuhana, they were receiving tremendous buffs called the Land of Despair.
“Alright, let me be a little more. They will appear before me anyway.”
So I decided to stay at the Myongjin Shelter.
***
In Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, 23 days later.
Shuuuuuuung! Shuuuuuuuuuung! Shuuuuuuuuuuung!
The Land of Despair threw up at least thousands, or tens of thousands of people from Kuhana on Earth at a time. But this time, it only threw up four people.
And the four people who appeared on Earth looked around and spoke one by one.
“Is this the place owned by Juyoung Hong, or Jiwon Lee?”
“It’s good. Not bad.”
“But this is clearly our loss because we have obtained this place by sacrificing Kuhana when we could have taken it for free if we had won.”
“Well, we couldn’t help it because Juyoung Hong was really not a factor that we had in mind from the beginning.”
“That’s enough. We can occupy this place if we get rid of Juyoung Hong, and everything belonging to Jiwon Lee. Then we can restore our lost land. In that respect, it’s our gain, not our loss.”
“You bet!”
Anyway the rulers of the 2nd and 3rd Royal Districts as well as the rulers of the 8th and 9th Royal Districts began to move.
As soon as they appeared, they received the report from those who got here ahead of them that there was an unassailable being in the Land of Despair.
Obviously they knew the ‘unassailable being’ was Juyoung Hong even if he didn’t reveal himself there.
The four rulers of the Royal Districts finally appeared on Earth.
At that moment those few who survived in the Land of Despair as well as those who were hiding in their own arks could hear a message.
[The Land of Despair has begun to radiate the energy of despair.]
It has been a little over a month since the Land of Despair appeared on Earth.
Countless people died on Earth, but those who built the arks to flee to the sea continued their lives to the best they could.
Humans were scientifically and biologically incapable of adapting to changes in the new environment easily, but at the same time they were bizarrely good at adapting themselves to it.
So they could also hear the message that rang suddenly while they were carrying on with their lives, as usual.
[The Earth of Despair has begun to radiate the energy of despair.]
Aside from those who were already dead, even those who survived cringed at the word ‘despair’. So they could not help but be embarrassed when they heard the message that contained the word ‘despair’ because they didn’t want to hear it again.
Contrary to their expectations, however, the message containing that word did not end there, but continued.
[The energy of despair emanating from the Land of Despair began to slowly encroach on your body.
-Health and mana decrease by 10 per second.
– Health and mana that drop because of the energy of despair will not be restored by automatic recovery or healing.
-In order to prevent the drop in health and mana caused by the energy of despair, you should continue to step on the Land of Despair.
– In any case, the moment your health reaches 0, you die immediately.]
“…”
“…”
“…”
Those who fled to the sea to escape the Land of Despair were taken aback by the message that made their desperate effort to survive until now useless.
Even before they could overcome their embarrassment, something that would cause even more extreme confusion and fear in them occurred.
“Kheeeeeeek!”
“Khuuuuuuuuuk”
“I don’t want to die like this…”
Flop!
Flop!
Of course, the ships didn’t carry only those who raised their reality actualization rate.
There were a considerable number of ordinary people aboard the ships, too.
Unless they did not live alone for the rest of their lives, they were supposed to have families and relatives, not to mention those who were school alumni or those who were from the same hometowns.
But the problem was that in order to raise their reality actualization rate, it was absolutely necessary for them to achieve level 1200, and if they had even 1 level short of 1200, they were classified as ordinary people.
After all, the ordinary people who were aboard the ships died in vain without being able to sustain even for a few seconds at the message that rang without any notice, just like those who died as soon as they set foot on the Land of Despair.
“Oh, no!”
“Honey!”
“Mom! You shouldn’t die!”
“Shit! This is too cruel!”
“Man, as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining, but what the heck is this?”
“You damn bastards!”
They were in big chaos.
They would have been less frustrated and embarrassed if they had been prepared for it in heart, but since the message rang all of a sudden, more than half of those on the ship expressed their anger and frustration endlessly.
prepared, but because it happened suddenly without any notice, there were more than half of those who vomited out anger and resentment beyond the chaos. The fact that they were on the ships meant that they were closely affiliated with those at level 1200 who raised their reality actualization rate, or more close to each other than their families.
However, as if to mock their frustration and anger, the messages kept ringing to enrage them even more.
[Your health and mana decrease by 10.]
[Your health and mana decrease by 10.]

“Turn the ships back to the land!”
“Move to the nearest land!”
They were so sad, frustrated and angry.
But they could not all die together without doing anything, so some commanders and executives ordered them to veer their ship immediately.
Of course, they had no intention of giving such an order because even if they set foot on the Land of Despair to avoid the ‘energy of despair,’ it didn’t mean they could find any ray of hope there. Rather there was a fat chance that a more hellish world would unfold for them.
But they couldn’t die helplessly, so they issued the order, crying bitter tears.
In the meantime, some commanders and executives picked out the specific name of a place rather than a nearby site, namely, Gangwon Province, or more precisely, the sea off the coast of Myongjin Shelter.
From their point of view, it was the most likely place for their survival if they reached there.
