Chapter 776

Matan’s Shooter 776

『I want to show the descendants of Krabavi once again the majesty of the Paldrin with your help.』

“I see.”

『By lending me your power.』

“What? What do you mean?”

The White Reaper placed a hand on Leeha’s shoulder. In that strange moment, feeling like Jellypong had landed on his shoulder, a holographic window appeared before his eyes.

『Resurrected White Reaper』

Explanation:

“I can no longer exert all my power. Ever since being hit by your bullet, I have felt my strength waning... I wish to call my compatriots here, but they say you have never seen my compatriots. I’m sorry. However, I have known you since the moment we met. Just like me, I know what path you will walk in the future.”

Before disappearing from the surface, shimo wants to fight alongside you.

Let’s safeguard this place until the Shazrashian Federation’s declaration of surrender and the creation of the rights agreement that Shimo desired are completed.

Objective: Guarding the occupied territory

Reward: ?

Condition for Failure: If five or more Giants reach the northern exit of the occupied territory –

Penalty for Failure: ?

Since the quest with a failure penalty had been forcibly imposed, rejection was not an option.

“The White Reaper is disappearing? Damn, it seems weakening was inevitable.”

Leeha quickly read through the quest. It was a very simple quest. The content was to just guard this place until they are exhausted and leave. The failure penalty was simple. Above all, the fact that ‘death’ was not mentioned as a failure consequence felt new to Leeha.

The moment Leeha dies, the Giants will reach the northern exit in numbers exceeding 500, not just five. In other words, ‘death’ was so natural in this context that it didn’t need to be explicitly mentioned as a failure penalty.

“Um, you... lending me your power... that’s... what does it mean?”

『You lend me your strength. I will give you a name in return.』

“A name...then?”

Leeha looked up at the White Reaper. Despite the slight difference in height, his eye level while floating in mid-air was slightly higher than Leeha’s. The White Reaper also met Leeha’s gaze.

“For those who only understand the logic of power, let that name become a symbol of terror ingrained in their minds.”

Leeha didn’t need to nod his head in agreement. It wasn’t simply because this was a quest imposed on him. It was because Leeha sensed that the words he had never desired to hear until now would come out of the mouth of the White Reaper.

“『Speak the name of the White Reaper.』”

“Ah...”

At that moment, Leeha’s heart began to beat rapidly. The quest ‘Resurrected White Reaper.’ Leeha thought this quest meant the resurrection of Shimo’s soul. It was only natural for him to think that way, especially after seeing the effects of the Easter Egg item.

However, ‘Resurrected White Reaper’ did not mean that.

Resurrected White Reaper meant it was Leeha himself who followed in the footsteps of the White Reaper and was thus 『White Plague Shimo』 is said to have been resurrected!

Leeha closed his eyes quietly. Finally, holding the key to the second job advancement that had just been unlocked, and looking at the unexpected connection point of the quest, he clenched Black Bass tightly in his hand.

Just by observing that gesture, the White Reaper nodded in approval. In expressing his determination and resolve, that alone was enough.

Leeha: How is it?

Jin Gonggong: Well, are you serious? But seriously, what on earth did you do-

Leeha: huh. I’ll tell you later. Don’t tell Kijung. It’s a secret from others too, okay?!

Jin Gonggong: Are you really okay by yourself, Leeha? This is not a joke, you know.

Leeha: What can I do anyway.

Leeha listened to Jin Gonggong’s whisper and glanced at the quest window once again. Every time he saw the expression ‘Resurrected White Reaper,’ it felt like electricity was running through his body, but in reality, it was not just a feeling of joy.

Finally, Jin Gonggong’s intelligence shed some light.

“Yes! That’s right!” Leeha involuntarily clenched his fist. Blaugrunn, who was next to him, looked surprised and asked, “Why are you acting that way?”

“Haha, they say you have to understand that giant users are troublesome. Or maybe it’s because they have that much confidence?”

Is it because his heart felt lighter?

Bantal confessed to Jin Gonggong about the quest, and it truly became “intelligence” passed on to Leeha.

“Shimo-nim, the enemies have named this battle 『Winter Resource War』 and they were ordered to occupy this place within 100 days.”

『Indeed... Is this an extension of the 『Winter War』?』

“Haha, that seems to be the case.”

Leeha smiled back at Shimo. In the real world, the Winter War was where Shimo made a name for himself.

“Winter War in Middle Earth too, huh? Haha, this is interesting.”

Now, it was the Winter Resource War, where they had to fend off Shadrazian giants aiming for resources beyond this land.

“100 days, huh. No log-out rotation. Just staring for about 20 days’ worth of reality.”

Would even closing his eyes briefly be possible in Middle Earth?

Extreme fatigue would engulf their entire body, pushing both their physical and mental limits to the extreme. Therefore, Leeha wondered.

“This should be enough.”

He was convinced that the confirmation of the 2nd class advancement would be concluded with this quest.

Around that time, Leeha became curious about others.

“What are they doing?”

Leeha opened the teleport window of the Three Musketeers. Surprisingly, the positions of the two individuals had not changed at all.

“I understand what you’re saying, kid. But do you think that guy will back off just because I offer money?”

“Showing exemplary behavior as a sheriff is the best way.”

“Haha, out of all the conversations we’ve had in the past few days, that was the funniest joke.”

Earp adjusted his hat and turned his body.

Kidd couldn’t contain his frustration. He had already completed several quests. Although he could sense that the quests were nearing their conclusion, he was completely stuck at this point.

“Bringing peace to 『Deadwood』 is my job. I thought it was the only way to advance to Desperado, but...?”

The way to bring peace to Deadwood was to reconcile Sheriff Earp and Wild Bill. However, it was not easy.

Over the past few days, Kidd had completed numerous quests to build rapport with the two NPCs, how much time had he spent to gain their intimacy? He had tasks such as handling the gang near Sheriff Earp and collecting gambling debts on behalf of Wild Bill.

However, no matter which task he chose, it was impossible to resolve it without 『force』. Kidd was confident in his abilities and approached all tasks with determination, but every moment was unexpectedly difficult.

“The gang members in this small town were more challenging to deal with than the monsters on the new continent. Probably because they were “event monsters.”

In fact, when Kidd asked passing users about the gang he mentioned, none of them had seen it. In other words, unless they were quest holders, there was no chance of encountering the said monsters.

After raising the intimacy levels on both sides, he was finally on the verge of reconciling the two parties and bringing about peace.

“I like you. But I know that you also get along with Wild Bill Hickok. Do you know what that means?”

“... He definitely has a habit of being careless. However, the responsibility lies with the sheriff as well-”

“Responsibility? Me? To me? Because he couldn’t catch the con artist in the act, it’s my defeat. Do I have to pay money as the price of defeat? No, kid, that’s not it. He just wants to disrupt the peace of this town under the pretext of gambling. He just wants to kill me. If not, he should come and bow down himself.”

It was always like this. No persuasion worked. Even if Kidd went to the ‘opposite side’ as Sheriff Earp mentioned, it wouldn’t work.
