Chapter 131

Just by gathering in a dark conference room with no lights, showed how much fear they felt from the ‘invisible enemy’.

“How can we catch that bastard. How! I called you here to make a plan!”

Bang-!

Kyokujitsu’s table shattered with a roar. It was a strength that was released while seated.

Of course, it was only possible because it was Middle Earth, but the branch managers flinched.

“South Fibiel.”

“Yes, president!”

“You said it was the first branch that got attacked?”

“There- that-.”

At Kyokujitsu’s words, Donyoku stood up sweating. From Petal Kim to Tikal, all of them were, in fact, all from the South Fibiel branch.

Moreover, taking advantage of Tikal to hunt their target, had not yielded any significant results yet.

“Besides, only South Fibiel has a small decline in performance. -6%? It’s almost nonexistent compared to the others. What happened?”

Did you suck up to that bastard? A nuance like that was only natural.

Because Leeha had not attacked the South Fibiel branch since the first day. The [Setting Sun Desperado] guild did not touch the South Fibiel branch to the extent that other branches secretly cursed Donyoku and Tikal.

“O-our special FM Tikal is working hard to catch the bastard named Ha Leeha. We had a plan to deal with Ha Leeha, because we have fought him the most, but our branch have no experts to deal with him-.”

“Phew, branch manager Donyoku? What is our motto?”

“I-It is ‘If you want it, take it!’.”

“Then stop making excuses. Our great Rising Sun is shaking right now. I want that bastard’s life. Do you know what I mean? If you want experts, you don’t have to tell me, you just have to take them away. Understood?”

“Yes-!”

Donyoku bowed his head in obidience.

A corporate culture that transcended the company. The motto of Kyokujitsu, who advocated for himself, was a culture so thorough that it was applied even betwee the branch managers and directors.

“Director of Planning.”

“Yes, president.”

“Give the maximum support from the head office FBAs to the South Fibiel branch.”

“Head Office FBAs?”

“Yes. Isn’t it the role of the head office to help when the branch is in danger.”

“I understand.”

Usually, other branch managers would object.

Giving South Fibiel the fighters from head office meant giving Donyoku the chance to crush [Setting Sun Desperado].

But now it’s not ‘as usual’. They had incurred too many losses.

In other words, it meant that if he did well, he would get praise, and if he didn’t, his opportunity was over.

Now it was time to do well. If he couldn’t......?

“Branch Manager Donyoku.”

“Yes!”

“This is the last time. Take Ha Leeha’s screenshot within a week. Understand?”

“Thank you!”

After barely swallowing his saliva, Donyoku bowed his head once more. If he combined the strategy Tikal had in mind, with the experts such as Jaco, there was definitely a chance of winning.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

“I’ll get information myself.”

“Information......?”

At Kyokujitsu’s words, the Director of Planning tilted his head.

“I’ll go to those guys. I think they should roughly know information about someone who uses an unusual weapon.”

“Those guys...... are you talking about those spy bastards?”

“Even those guys are useful sometimes. I hope the other branches follow branch manager Donyoku’s plans for the time being. Our most important goal is catching Ha Leeha. Does everyone understand?”

Yes-!

As Kyokujitsu stood up, the room was filled with a gigantic silhouette.

He needed to be careful of how he moved because he was from the giant race. With his monster-like skills, he could hide his body anywhere.

“Then let’s go, director of planning.”

“Yes.”

Soon, the two of them disappeared using space movement. In the dark room, only the branch managers were left.

“I’m sorry branch managers. I have a plan, so please help me. We should be able to finish it in 3 days.”

Branch manager Donyoku began to talk.

Everyone didn’t like it, but they have the same goal. They wanted to eliminate Ha Leeha, however, they wanted Donyoku to fail as well.

“Waaaah-! ““You’re crazy Tikal! Do you think I would stop if you talk like that?”

He did not look back to save time. The route Leeha followed was for situations where there was a detached force appeared.

Leeha’s movements were faster than the Rising Sun members who had come up from the bottom of the mountain.

“You can’t run away anyway! We have thoroughly blocked space to chase you! You’re done once you run out of stamina!”

Hearing Jaco’s shout seemed to bring out laughter.

It’s over once my stamina runs out?

“You think I don’t know that? I can still run without stamina! Idiots.”

Although it would not be a long time, the distance between those who walk and those who run would widen.

This was the reason why Leeha could be relaxed even when it felt like he was playing hide-and-sick with his life on the line.

“Puhahaha! Right! That’s it, Ha Leeha! That’s what I want to hear!”

“What?”

Leeha heard a terrifying laugh behind him, who was running through bushes.

“Do you think we don’t have that achievement?”

“No way...”

Those who know the joy of running. An E+ level achievement is obtained by running while depleting the stamina 10 times in a row. Rising Sun head office fighters of level 100 or higher are likely to have it by default.

“You look funny, Ha Leeha.”

“You’re crazy!”

Papapat-!

Their pace got faster and faster.

Leeha’s investment in agility made up for the gap in level, however, some fundamental difference was unavoidable.

They were now running downhill, on flat ground.

“Haa, haa-! Damn this bastard. ”

They were close enough that their footsteps could be heard.

50m? 40m? Leeha’s instincts told him

that he might get hit by an arrow if they caught up a little more.

“There’s no use in surrendering now! I will tear you apart! For Rising Sun’s sake, no, for my sake!”

Shoo-!

As soon as Tikal’s shout was over, an arrow flew.

As soon as he heard the eerie sound cutting through the air, Leeha bent his neck and managed to avoid it.

“Damn it, get out of the way! Move!”

Leeha shouted towards the users that blocked his way.

The people headed to the dense forest were about to light a campfire. The forest was large with densely-grown trees that seemed to reach the sky

Leeha glanced back and went right into the forest.

“Wah? W-What? What passed by?”

“Amazing....... What happened? Rising Sun is also in the back?”

The beginner users could not hide their flustered expression as they saw

Leeha passed by, and the Rising Sun chased after him.

They wondered if the Rising Sun members were aiming for them, and for beginners, Rising Sun users were experts.

They didn’t seem to be after them.

“Why did they come here?”

“Well. It’s amazing. Shall we shoot a video?”

“Hmm, we should go and ask the community. What even is happening today?”

This was the western area of the capital, where the beginners gathered. Rising Sun, who was chasing after Leeha, also saw the great forest.

“W-What is that?”

Because of the densely growing trees, that seemed to fill the space, not even an inch of the inside of the forest could be seen.

The darkness that seem to rob them of their sight was ominous.

“Here is....... T-the Lightless Forest!”

“Huh? Lightless forest? What’s in there?”

“There are bats and spiders”

Tikal quickly answered Jaco’s question.

“Bat- huh? Aren’t these level 20 monsters? Ah, over there.”

A place too old for users level 100 or higher to remember properly.
