Chapter 664

Chapter 664

“What’s going on?”

“Hey, that one’s got quite the temper. Whew! Who went to suppress the Gorilla paleo just now?”

Lark asked Pung while scratching his ear. They couldn’t just be waiting around in Juma City.

The method they chose, given that any attack on paleo was forbidden, was hunting monsters near the Red Woods. It was a way to not only level up but also significantly strengthen the organization of the Virtue Knights.

“Let’s see... I believe it’s the Picante Knights today.”

“Picante, huh? Do you know who the leader of the New Continent for them is?”

“Of course. What would the financial officer do if he didn’t know that? Why? Want me to tell you?”

“Yeah. Quick.”

Lark received the name of the leader of the Picante Knights from Pung.

He immediately sent a secret message to the leader of the Picante Knights.

“The paleos are acting up? There wasn’t any issue until just yesterday, and now this all of a sudden?”

Of course, this was to verify something Leeha had said.

Lark: Ah, hello. I’m Lark from the Virtue Knights.

-I’ve heard great things about the [Knight of the Rainbow].

Lark: You flatter me. It’s nothing, really.

...while Lark’s face was completely stern despite the warm, salesy greeting.

If the leader of the Picante Knights had been there in person, they would have been shocked by the disparity between his words and expression.

“It’s true. Harhei and the Gorilla paleos have left their post. Such cowardly primates.”

“What? What does that mean?”

“...It means the paleos are up to something. Where did Leeha get this kind of information?”

Lark frowned.

He hadn’t stirred up Leeha without reason.

“How dare they discredit my achievements... I had neatly planned my debut in the New Continent with that.”

[The Slayer of Toon], the sudden uproar in the New Continent, was not the scenario Lark had wanted. If he were to kill, it had to be in a battlefield with everyone watching, through his power alone.

“It must have been that fourth wave thing. That was the time I suspected Toon would exit the scene. Despite not having lived in the New Continent for long, he had predicted quite a bit through the series of events.

If Leeha hadn’t killed Toon, who could assert what would have happened during the fourth wave? It was entirely plausible that Toon’s kin, the Saurus, would have become more rampant, a possibility he had foreseen.

Having shown deeper insight than even those users who participated in all three waves, Lark was indeed upset by Leeha’s feats.

‘And to think, he knows information I don’t. What could Leeha’s information network possibly be? Only the Holy Grill in Gaza City, as far as I know. The information of the New Continent... Sacred Knights? The Sacred were only around Juma. Byulcho? What’s Byulcho doing these days?’

Lark nodded to himself. He was through thinking it over.

“That’s it. If information were to leak, it could only be them.”

“Anyway, we’ve got only one thing to do. Pung! Call everyone together.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“I won’t repeat myself.”

With Lark’s gaze turning serious again, Pung, the financial officer, could no longer object. The ultimate command of the Virtue Knights in the New Continent rested entirely with Lark.

“We return to Juma City and complete our reorganization! Everyone will likely need to visit their home country. You have two days! Finish all preparations within two days and gather in Juma!”

As Lark shouted, the members of the Virtue Knights stirred.

The murmuring quickly died down as he raised his fist.

“In a few days... something very interesting is going to happen near Juma City. We might even earn an achievement for exterminating the paleos... Prepare accordingly.”

“Exterminate! If we do such a thing, the Papacy-”

“No, no. This time, it seems we’ll need direct permission from His Holiness himself for the situation that’s going to arise. Hehe. Everyone, return!”

As everyone used their return scrolls, Lark quietly summoned Pung.

“Pung?”

“Eh?”

“Didn’t you say there was a map marking all of the paleo tribes.”

“I still have it.”

“The rumors are starting to spread in Juma City too. They’ll spread quickly. Kijung’s Byulcho team fortunately escaped safely. There’s news that a significant number of regular players hunting nearby were affected. If the paleos gather... and even the mystical creaturess join... Even the high rankers won’t be able to sit still. Above all... what would the papacy say? Shouldn’t we start by talking to them?”

Would Bailephus, who has a strong resistance against battles with mystical creaturess, just stand by and watch?

What about the ranker, Lee Jiwon, who is rumored to have already killed a mystical creatures?

To acquire a skill beyond [Thunder Cloud], the second-ranked Magic Swordsman will become a threat.

“One by one, the mystical creaturess are akin to Adult Dragons. If all the paleos in the western part of the New Continent gather... There are definitely paleo tribes I am unaware of.”

Would there be around fifteen tribes? Twenty?

Leeha shook his head. Even at the maximum, it wouldn’t exceed twenty tribes.

“That means about twenty Adult Dragons. The number is astonishing.”

Having observed the gathering of metal dragons and their kindred, Leeha was more certain than ever.

“The total number of dragons in a single species was around forty.”

Of course, not all were Adults. Among them were dragons on the brink of transitioning from Juvenile to Adult, and even Ancient dragons.

Twenty mystical creaturess with power close to that of Adult Dragons couldn’t be considered a light force.

“The problem is when they all gather. Even a slight disarray could...”

The possibility of the paleos in the western part of the New Continent being annihilated couldn’t be dismissed.

However, mystical creaturess with the power of Adult Dragons like Bailephus or Alexander wouldn’t just attack ‘while taking it easy’.

It’s a situation where two forces clash with full strength. It’s definitely not something to welcome.

“Winning will incur great losses, and losing means the end. Moreover, if this kind of news...”

What if ‘someone’ hears about it?

Lying down, Leeha suddenly got up.

“Yes, that’s right. There’s no way she doesn’t know. Chiyou must be aware. And if she knows,” even if she didn’t, she would’ve discovered this information within hours.

If this story reaches Chiyou, then who would be the next to find out?

“Bluebeard! Damn it! mystical creatures fighting humans is exactly what those bastards enjoy the most!”

So far, Bluebeard hasn’t personally intervened.

This was fortunate for Leeha and all humans. But why hadn’t he intervened personally?

“Because he had a proxy. And Bluebeard himself had other things to deal with.”

Now, there was no guarantee that Bluebeard wouldn’t take action personally.

“I... By killing Toon–” No longer does he have a proxy. There was a time when he entrusted Faust with the role of the chief strategist of the Demon King’s Army in the Lope Continent, but the objective of the Demon King’s Army then and now is entirely different.

It’s not merely about attracting attention to prevent them from heading to the New Continent, but about awakening the [Divine Staff] and thereby Ghibrid.

“The likelihood of Bluebeard acting personally has increased! Even if Bluebeard doesn’t act himself–”

Leeha swallowed hard.

Among the achievements gained by killing Toon, one name came to mind. Toon, the third in command of Bluebeard’s forces.

The first in command is, needless to say, Bluebeard himself.

Then the second?

Aside from Toon, who claimed to be the left hand, who is Bluebeard’s “right hand”? Leeha knew the name.

“Blood Maiden Elizabeth Bathory!”

No matter who comes, it would lead to the worst possible scenario.

The anger towards Lark had faded. Leeha must find Elizabeth as soon as possible and thus used Jellypong as a three-dimensional maneuver gear to head east again.
