68 Prince Argon and the Royal Shop

This notification rang loudly as countless large guilds entered the A-ranked area in Elvenheim.

[Take back the land that has been taken away by the demonic race.]

[If you succeed in recapturing the land and defending it for two days, then you will become the master of the land that you have protected and your contributions will increase sharply.]

The words in the notifications were easy to interpret. In other words, this was a structure that promoted a competition between the large guilds.

Guilds began to enter Elvenheim’s A-ranked area.

Meanwhile, Caillan, the guild master of Iris Guild, and Ares, the guild master of Ares Guild, formed an alliance. Through their alliance, they were able to gain about three small villages and towns. They were fighting a defensive battle in order to gain a stronghold between Elvenheim and the Elven Forest. Caillan and Ares’ mouths were both almost torn with how wide they were grinning.

“As expected.”

Ares shook his head when he heard Caillan’s words.

Caillan and Ares were both forced to fail by Legend Guild. In the case of Caillan, he suffered from failure when he faced off against Legend Guild during the disaster from God Juis. In Ares’ case, he suffered failure when he tried to capture King Varen and faced off against Legend Guild.

But right now, they were both ahead of all the guilds. And they have been so for quite a long time now. Other guilds were only able to have just one territory. In addition, they would also be able to hit the goal faster to get that opportunity. The opportunity was none other than the ‘Elf Shop’.

Elf Shops was a shop that did not only exist in Elvenheim. It existed in all of the villages, towns, big cities, and territories in the entire continent. Due to the war’s outbreak, countless Elf Shops were created. The Elf Shops would only be available to the user once they have accumulated enough points from their contributions.

In addition, the users were all restricted from using the consumables that they had brought with them as soon as they entered Elvenheim. The only consumables that they could use were the ones they had purchased in Elvenheim. Elves potions, elves parchments, elves food and even rare artifacts.

Right now, Ares and Caillan were both able to discover a special purchase from a High Elf woman that stayed in their three recaptured towns.

[The Elf Shop’s Upgrade.]

[100,000 war points.]

The woman was called Ruby.

Caillan and Ares had guessed that Joy Co. Ltd. had set up high contribution points or a restriction for having more territory or perhaps having excessive luck to get something special. Their guilds were extremely lucky but it was also because they had good defenses. And because of this, they found a way to get ahead of the other guilds faster. They believed that if the ranking of the shop increased then they would be able to get something better for the war.

“Ruby. I’m buying the Elf Shop’s Upgrade.”

“You need 100,000 war points to exchange for the Elf Shop’s Upgrade.”

“Here’s the 100,000 points.”

“You’ve worked hard to save us, elves. Thank you.”

Having that many war points meant that they had hunted many demonic races.

Then, the notifications rang.

[You have purchased the Elf Shop’s Upgrade.]

[Your Elf Shop will be upgraded to Rank C. Caillan and Iris Guild will have a 10% discount in the Elf’s Shop.]

[You can purchase more special items in Rank C.]

Caillan grinned widely before rushing to check the Elf’s Shop.

“......!”

The smile on Caillan’s face did not disappear. The reason was simple, it was because there were now a lot of better things in the shop than before.

They were now selling a whole lot of the ‘Elves’ Arrow of Life’. Right now, he could purchase 1,000 pieces for one transaction only. Surprisingly enough, the arrow had an additional 15% increase in attack power and a 20% increase in critical hit rate when facing demonic races. And that was not all of it. Although the items were limited in quantities, there were countless things that were now available in the Elf’s Shop. There was even the Elf’s Water of Life which could temporarily increase the attack power against the demonic races by 15%.

Currently, Iris and Ares Guild had a little more than a hundred members. So what would happen if each and every one of them would have a 15% increase in attack power? They could go far ahead of the other guilds.

Then, Caillan heard another notification.

[The Elf’s Shop Upgrade price has increased.]

[300,000 war points.]

‘Expensive......’

It wasn’t easy for them to gain contribution points. He was only able to gather 100,000 war points after almost exhausting his individual war points. Thanks to his individual and guild war points, they were now significantly ahead of the others.

But then, Caillan suddenly felt curious.

“What is the highest ranking?”

***

Meanwhile, Legend Guild was also able to gain a town. And along with that, Genie was also able to meet with the Shop NPC, Remin.

Genie tilted her head as she looked around the shop.

[Do you want to upgrade the Elf’s Shop?]

[50,000 war points.]

‘Oh?’

“Swiiip— Aaah.”

His tongue was tingling due to the spicyness. This time, he took a spoon and dug in the soft and jiggling steamed egg. With just a touch of the spoon, the steamed egg easily came out of the container. As soon as he placed it in his mouth, he could taste the soft and warm steamed egg. The taste of the steamed egg brought happiness and relief in his mouth.

Then, he turned his attention towards the rice balls. With his hands wrapped in the plastic gloves, he brought the rice ball to his mouth. The salty seaweed, sesame seeds and pickled radish blended and mixed to create a savory yet sour flavor in his mouth.

After tasting everything, he quickly went back to his chicken feet. His forehead was already beaded in sweat after eating plenty of the chicken feet. However, the enticing and spicy flavor of the chicken feet had a magical temptation that wouldn’t let him stop from eating them until they were gone.

And at this time, there was one thing that he needed.

Glug, glug, glug—

He quickly took out a glass filled with ice before pouring the Julpis in it. Then, he grabbed the glass and gulped down its icy yet refreshing contents. His tingling tongue suddenly sizzled and calmed down.

After he finished everything, the notifications rang loudly in his ears.

[You have eaten the Food God’s Spicy Chicken Feet Set.]

[You gained 100,000 contribution points.]

“Oh?”

He suddenly earned a significant amount of contribution points in one go.

After eating the spicy chicken feet set, Minhyuk once again opened the map of the Immortals’ Land and checked its contents. There was a variety of information listed in the map. Minhyuk couldn’t help but tilt his head in thought as he stared at Zone 2.

‘A red skull?’

In reality, such a figure represented ‘danger’ and ‘destruction’. Minhyuk clicked on it.

[You can’t have additional access. The rewards list has been checked already.]

[The previous owner had already checked all of the information.]

“......Hmm.”

Minhyuk tilted his head in thought. The previous owner was Bach so he thought that he had already finished checking everything. With that, he couldn’t see that information so the rest was left unconfirmed.

Minhyuk left and led his troops quickly.

It was time to finish taking over Zone 1 so they could move on to Zone 2.

***

“......”

Eclei was left speechless after coming back from his nap. It was because there was no one in sight. He felt a bit strange standing alone in a place where the cold wind was blowing strongly. What was worse was that Bach was nowhere in sight. So he logged out.

After Eclei, or Lee Sungjae, logged out, he immediately contacted Bach, commonly known as Lee Hyunwoo in reality. But before he could even do so, he already saw several text messages on his phone.

‘What’s this?’

When he finally realized the situation, Lee Sungjae couldn’t help but feel flustered.

He just read that Bach was logged out by Minhyuk and their troops all joined the Rice Supplement company. But to make matters even worse, Hyunwoo made a foreigner’s pledge. Right now, Hyunwoo had no choice but to tell Emperor Asvon that he had died from a monster attack and Minhyuk had to take over the command of their troops.

Not long after, Hyunwoo received a call. Sungjae’s voice was filled with doubt and anger since everything sounded so ridiculous to him.

“No. How can you do something like that!!!”

[I let my guard down. I never thought that he would have that skill. He had a skill that would momentarily make him invincible...... If it wasn’t for that, then I’d definitely win.]

Hyunwoo still thought that he had lost only by a narrow margin.

[He’s a rookie when it comes to fighting.]

“Didn’t you die from such a rookie?”

A moment of silence passed by between them. However, Hyunwoo said to him not long after......

[That’s what happened...... Now, I’m out of commission so I’ll have to trust you Sungjae. I still have a way to win.]

“A way?”

[Yes. Do you remember that red skull in the Map of the Immortals’ Land?]

“Yes. I remember.”

When he asked Hyunwoo about it, he seemed reluctant and only said that it was a dangerous area.

[It’s a very dangerous area. And I have checked the information in there completely. It’s the land of the ‘Fallen Spirit King’. Hunting the Fallen Spirit King can grant you two rewards options.]

“What’s that?”

[First. It’s none other than becoming a demonic human. By becoming a demonic human, you will get more powerful troops from the corrupted soldiers of the Fallen Spirit King. The second option gives you 400,000 contribution points and the Elf’s Heart. The Elf’s Heart is said to contain an enormous power and can be used as a guild property. And one more thing.]

Sungjae quietly listened to Hyunwoo.

[When you become a demonic human, the second reward will be transferred if someone hunts you.]
