Matans Shooter 554

[Residential quest: You have failed the If you beat the grass, the snake will emerge quest.]

[The failure penalty will be applied after 21 hours.]

Damn it, damn it, damn it! The moment the quest notification appeared, used his crystal ball.

He then went to a different destination than most other users.

While a majority of the players returned to Juma, the joint-administrative village on the new continent, Leeha headed towards where the World Tree was located.

This is similar to the previous Kings Assassination Protection Quest. The quest forcefully ends at an unspecified point in time!

There was still time left for the quest.

So, what does it mean to forcefully terminate the quest?

It means theres no reason to continue the quest. In other words, the main goal of the common quest

It wasnt to purify all the tens of thousands of demon bases.

It was to completely neutralize and put to Toon to sleep, Les second-in-command sleeping somewhere in the demon stronghold!

In other words, the ultimate goal was to assassinate Toon.

The proof was in the progress rate. Although they had cleared six out of seven demon bases, the quest progress rate according to the Middle Earth system was only 30%.

One must infer that the one place where Toon was, accounted for 70% and was such an important location.

Then! At least! They should have given a hint!

Maybe someone received one. Among the users who frequently visited the Vatican, it was possible someone received a hint from important NPCs, including the Pope.

But if that person did not share widely? If they did not share the content of the quest?

In such situations like these, one can only sigh at the pitiful state of Middle Earth.

Leeha sorted out the points quickly flowing in his head.

He had to explain to the people who had arrived at the place he did.

What- what happened?

Did you neutralize Toon?Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Im sorry. We failed.

The faces of the top-grade Earth Spirit Noeanen and the top-grade Wind Spirit Celestine went pale.

Sowhat happened?

What do you mean by failure? Can you explain in detail?

We almost neutralized him but Le showed up there. And he breathed his energy into Toon.

You mean-

Toon has perfectly resurrected. He has regained all his lost power, Leeha pointed out.

Im sorry. Leeha appeared less confident.

Toon had just regained his strength, and since the Bluebeard Le disappeared somewhere, Bailephus thought it was worthwhile to at least fight. That was the case when Toon was alone. Alexander and Lee Jiwons request for a charge was also refused by Bailephus for another reason.

[However, as the Matans Shooter pursues me. I cant be reckless against the High-ranking snipers and the Matans Shooter. If you approach Toon hard here, I will die, unconditionally. One bullet would be enough.]

Bailephus knows too. If the Matans Shooter really uses the Matan, no creature can withstand it.

The word came directly from the dragons mouth. Alexander knew about it, but this was new information for the top rangers like Lee Jiwon and Pei Wu, who were close to Toon.

Let alone, they even claimed that an Ancient Gold Dragon, despite using all defensive skills, can be killed with a single bullet It was only natural that the eyes of some users brightened amidst the frantic retreat.

Is this how it is? Is the world tree now extinct in this realm?

We cant help it.

Celestine comforted Noeanen, who was murmuring in frustration.

The top-grade spirits did not blame or curse Leeha. As if they knew something like this would happen someday, they looked resigned.Its too wasteful to give up.

Noeanen and Celestine stared intently at the key of the spirit realm. They then turned to face each other.

If thats the case, Noeanen

HmIf I inform Gnoas-nim, I reckon we can actually verify whether the seed has been planted.

Noeanen nodded in agreement and Celestine swiftly soared into the sky.

When she returned shortly after, she bore in her hands five fruits, each the size of a clenched fist.

Can we place our trust in you, Leeha?

Indeed, you can.

We are about to vanish. However, Gnoas-nim will verify everything. In the case of deception-

I assure you, one seed will certainly be planted. I will be careful to honor that promise. Or else, as I stated before, I will personally take a hit with this key.

Upon hearing Leehas light-toned response, they displayed expressions of disbelief. Despite this, they could not contradict the power held within the[Key of the Spirit Realm]that they held in their hands.

We request your help. For the sake of the Hyun-kye (the present world).

Do your best! If you cant grow it properly, we will reprimand you with our sylphs!

Thank you. Dont worry.

Noeanen received the fruit from Celestine and handed it to Leeha. The moment Leeha accepted it, they began to fade away.

You have obtained the Fruit of the World Tree.

The intimacy with the spirits of the Earth increases by 20%.

The intimacy with the spirits of Wind increases by 20%

For all the living beings of all the continents-

And just like that, the supreme spirits vanished. It was almost akin to the spirits committing suicide.

Looks like it ended with a conditional success. The quest had failed.

However, Leeha received the desired rewards.

Would this be considered a success or a failure?

Success feels somewhat inappropriate to say, considering the nature of the reward, half-hearted at best.

However, they could not make full use of the single fruit. They had to plant at least one of the two seeds contained within it into the ground. If only to uphold their promise to the spirits.

Despite obtaining the much-coveted Fruit of the World Tree, which he had been longing for, Leeha didnt feel particularly fulfilled.

The familiarity with the spirits was the same. The only thing that swirled in his mind was the bitterness of the quests failure.

Toon Bluebeardand- the Three Guardians of Matan.

The phrase, The Guardians of Matan, brought three people to Leehas mind: Mr. Brown, Miss Elizabeth, and their child.

Elizabeth never gave a definite answer. But based on what was revealed-

It was highly probable that Brown was not the one.

It was likely to be either Elizabeth or her son.

Leeha remembered the gun that Elizabeth had held. It was a gun of a shape he had never seen before.

If it could shoot Matan, it needed to be of that level of sophistication.

Anyway, there is no way other than quickly enhancing my skills.

Leeha, with the determination to repay the frustration and anger of the day, teleported to the Lair of Bahamut.

About 5 hours after Leeha disappeared, the land where the Forest of the World Tree was located started to darken.

Oh, oh They truly saved it!

Well, it doesnt feel much like a rescue. Anyway, I have returned, Lord Bahamut.

Give it here. Ill quickly create the growth accelerator you desire.

While observing Bahamut grinning like a playful elderly man, Leeha shook his head. Blaugrunn, who had followed Leehas movement, stared at him.
