Chapter 437 - Return (4)

[For the surviving members of the Advance Party

– You have successfully returned to Earth.

– The following rewards are given.

: Your level increases by 50 regardless of your current level.

: Acquire 5 billion golden rings.

: Acquire 2500 remaining stat points.

: Acquire 50,000 coins.]

The rewards up to now were already known, but there was something more.

[As a member of the Advance Party, you have killed a total of 2,173 enemies in addition to your daily quota for 30 days.

-Additional rewards are given for this.

: Acquire a small amount of EXP.

: Acquire 100 million golden rings.

: Acquire 50 remaining stat points.

: Acquire 500 coins.]

Compared to the original reward, this was not such a big reward.

But Taylor opened his mouth to everyone in a slightly trembling voice.

“I can assure you that the number of enemies Juyoung Hong killed himself is much more than the rest of us survivors combined. Ten thousand or hundred thousand? Absolutely not. Well, I would say at least a million or more. Juyoung Hong was like a god himself when he fought there.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

As soon as Taylor finished talking, all of the 24 survivors nodded exaggeratedly, and all the leaders, including Guild Leader Walgart, had no choice but to harden their faces, for the Myongjin Shelter where Juyoung Hong belonged suffered great damage. Anyway, the meeting in the small meeting room continued for hours after that.

***

35 days after I arrived in kuhana.

After the message announcing the cooldown of ‘Return’ was over, I hid deep in the forest.

Why? Because I wanted my enemy to drop their guards.

[At the end of the 30-day period as an Advance Party member, you don’t have any daily quota of killing more than 10 enemies per day.]

[You will no longer receive any additional points even if you kill more enemies because the 30-day period is over.]

From now on I didn’t have to get rid of my enemies in order to survive and to gain bonus points. So I tenaciously put up with it until the right time came.

I was going to kill one more ruler after they let down their guard before leaving this place.

‘Hmm. By the way, I really want to storm the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd districts called the Royal among Royal Districts…’

No matter how dangerous a situation I may face, I had a cheat key called ‘return’, so I was more interested in returning to Earth.

But I shook my head because I wanted to succeed in defeating one of the rulers no matter what. That’s why I was idling away for five precious days like this.

Should I hurriedly return after failing to hunt one more ruler?

“Uh… that’s never going to happen! Okay. Let me target the 6th Royal District. Even though I have already occupied the 10th District, I will make a natural sequence of Districts I ravaged, from the 4th, to the 5th, to the 6th, to the 7th Royal districts.”

Moreover, I was confident that I would become much stronger in the near future.

Just by returning to Earth, I would immediately obtain 2500 remaining stat points and 50,000 coins at level 50.

“Check the status of my bonus points.”

[This is the status of the bonus points for Lumen, Asirante, a member of the Advance Team.

– Currently, you have killed a total of 1,887,429 enemies.

-Additional rewards for the bonus points will be given upon your successful return to Earth.]

So far, I have killed just short of 2 million enemies.

Of course, as I do not have any access to data comparing my kills against others’, I was not sure if my performance was good or bad.

But I was sure this was an overwhelming number. In other words, the enemies that other guys might have killed might not be over a few thousand at most.

In fact, I’ve heard a little about others’ performance while I was roaming around the districts to kill the enemies there.

“Alright. I’m going to be much stronger very soon, so I don’t have to fight the strongest among them even now.”

I thought the more I delayed fighting the strongest in Kuhana, the better.

Thinking about the rewards that I would return to Earth, I hid myself in the forest for one more day.

Early morning the next day, I soared high into the sky using Fly and continued to use Blink with zero cooldown toward one area, which was none other than the 6th Royal District.

‘Man, the 6th Royal District on the 6th day? What a nice coincidence!”

Lost in such idle thoughts, I moved and soon arrived at the 6th Royal District.

When I reached there, I could see a man walking out of a place that looked like a huge temple in the middle of the 6th Royal District. Of course, I knew who he was.

For I had to figure out in advance who my opponent was here.

As soon as I saw him, I said gently, “Use Savant!”

[Currently, among strength, agility, stamina, willpower, and intellect Lumen, Asirante possesses, the most outstanding stat is intellect.

-Current intellect value: 106,237

-Intellect value will be changed to 212,474 for 30 minutes.

– A ten-day cooldown is required when the retention time of Savant is over.]

After killing the rulers of the previous 10th Royal District and 5th Royal District, my intellect increased by only 3000 because I acquired 2000 and 1000 additional stat points respectively. Of course, it didn’t mean what I got was small. It was huge.

But I couldn’t help but be disappointed that my reality actualization rate increased by only 3% and 1% respectively. But a 4% total increase in reality actualization rate was still tremendous.

That’s why I was confident in this fight.

“Ice Breath!”

No wonder my confidence erupted in the form of Ice Breath.

Not only the ruler of the 6th Royal District, but also his palace, which was like a huge temple, was destroyed in an instant.

After confirming it, I used another skill.

“Blink!”

Shuuuuuuuuuuuung-

I moved as close to him as possible by using Blink with zero cooldown, then poured out my skills.

“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”

Pasasasasasak!

Of course, I might not need to use such skills. However, the 6th Royal District Ruler was startled by my sudden appearance, so I used Ice Breath along with my other signature skills.

“Blizzard! Ice Tornado!”

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

Wheeeeeeeeeng-

I launched AOE skills in a row towards the smashed area.

Then I waited for him to emerge from the snow storms and snow whirls because I had yet to fire one more shot.

“Pouring Hail! Ice Storm!”

Pitter-patter- Pitter-patter

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

I used my AOE skills toward that place endlessly.

Even though they were clearly inferior to Blizzard and Ice Tornado, it was an undeniable fact that they had tremendous power, compared to others

At any rate, the enemies that soon appeared with a roaring sound launched all kinds of attacks at me, but I ignored them all. I focused only on the place where the ruler of the 6th Royal District was, even though that place was hard to discern because of the snow storms, snow whirlwinds, and other ice-type skills rampaging through the area.

“Ice Punishment!”

Bang!

The moment I noticed something move, I immediately used Ice Punishment.. Of course, I didn’t think I would be able to get rid of the ruler of the 6th Royal District with such attacks because he was a formidable guy like the other rulers.
