Episode 126
Shoot!
The unpredictable and turbulent sea is like the story of life. What would life be like if everything worked out the way you thought it would?
X sighed.
When I first heard Schubert’s important announcement, I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it was a joke.
Then I got angry.
Why are you making this announcement now?
Spring had just arrived, but the image of Xernis, which had not yet bloomed, flashed before my eyes.
Next, thinking about Xernis being defeated by another user, I felt scared, and should I ask him to leave even if it meant paying tribute? I tried bargaining in my head.
But at this moment, X caught his shaking spirit.
“What should I do? I have to become stronger.”
Determined, X woke up on the reef.
Beyond the Arba Continent, the Fate World will undergo dynamic upheaval from now on.
Those who challenge hegemony in order to become the emperor who controls the world, there will also be those who strive to achieve equal achievements.
But X’s goal remained firm.
“I am the one standing at the top.”
No matter what hardships and adversities come in his way, X once again pledged to stand at the top of Fate. So there was no more time to waste.
“Let’s go, Yongyong!”
“Kyunut!”
with a plop!
The cold sea water penetrated my body. The heavenly cuisine makes you feel as comfortable as if you were wrapped in a blanket.
X immediately looked around.
‘Maybe because it’s a deep sea area, there are a lot of tough guys.’
Level 330 A giant shrimp with a body the size of a human!
Level 390 A hypnotic sunfish that makes enemies hallucinate!
And even nameless new face giant fish.
X raised his equipment.
“Thank you to me.”
Fahaha! X and Yongyong swim away without worrying about who should go first.
The first prey was a giant shrimp. The guys swarmed around and surrounded X.
‘Do you look down on people too much?’
Giant shrimp are vicious hunters that can kill and eat great white sharks.
But today I could say it worked. After all, I touched X who was very poisonous!
“Hyukseombeop!”
Shashak!
Air bubbles rose from X’s sword.
At the same time, two giant shrimp died. There was a huge hole in their side.
‘It has become possible to attack not only from the front but also from the side.’
This was a change that came as the proficiency in the Axis Sword Technique approached 30%.
Until now, the Axis Sword Technique only delivered blows from distances that the opponent could not expect, but now it is possible to attack from unpredictable directions!
‘I was distraught because my basic skills improved late, but I’m glad.’
X’s basic proficiency, which had been rising steadily, stopped at around 80%.
Even using Sioras’ breathing method, getting into the 90% range didn’t seem easy.
The dream of becoming Fate’s first basic master! X was secretly sad that his dream seemed far away, but he was able to soothe his emptiness thanks to the advancement of swordsmanship.
‘Anyway, you seem very angry?’
Slut!
Soon the giant shrimp began to counterattack.
chin!
However, if you lightly block it with your shield and at the same time use your shield’s strength to push back.
[Fatal blow!]
[The Giant Shrimp is stunned!]
The effect of Kalsumar’s shield technique is activated!
X neatly finished off the guy who was losing his mind.
At this point, even the brainy fish heads know who the true predator of the sea is.
Monsters hurriedly retreating!
It wasn’t a common sight to see guys at least level 300 running away, but there was nothing more familiar to X and Yongyong. X opened his mouth as if he had expected it.
So who do the remaining four predict to be the emperor of Fate?
The answer was Kaimus.
‘Well, I always tend to choose an answer that isn’t in the options... but I’m looking forward to the time when I lift that heavy ass.’
Caimus, who became the general of Arba, did not move easily.
I just focused on the training of War Machine’s elites and Arva’s elite soldiers.
It’s literally the calm before the storm.
‘There is enough justification.’
The lords fight each other and engage in siege warfare?
This was not something that could just be watched in the Kingdom of Arba. He was able to move the kingdom’s soldiers right away, citing the safety of the people.
No matter how large the guild is, it cannot compete with the Kingdom of Arba.
If Kaimus leads his soldiers to clean up the area, most of the large guilds will not be able to hold out for even a few days and will raise their white flag.
Asus laughed as if he was interested.
“But as the general of Arba, if you lead the soldiers and take the castle. Honestly, it’s a waste of time, right? Because the territory that belongs to the Kingdom of Arba is not the territory that falls to War Machine.”
A kind of dilemma.
Since he has made a contribution to the position of general, he will be able to receive a reward from the king.
But can we be satisfied with just that?
Asus, who had been researching War Machine for a long time, knew that Kaimus was a man who was greedier than he seemed.
Asus shrugged his shoulders.
“Anyway, everyone is having fun.”
Even the Eating Alone Alliance could not fall into this mess. In the past, shrimp would have calmly burst their backs in a fight with a whale, but haven’t they learned something from watching it?
The shrimp no longer suffered.
Asus clicked his tongue.
“I don’t know who they were inspired by, but everyone is so unfriendly.”
They raided the dungeons of the guilds that had devoted all their energy to the siege, formed a party, went hunting, then split up without hesitation and returned to their respective positions.
It was indeed a play that did not go against the spirit of eating alone.
Information organization is complete.
It’s time to fulfill your duty as an explorer. Asus put the lined up papers in his inventory and stood up, grumbling.
“But in this mess. Where on earth is the emperor I have chosen and what is he doing here? They don’t broadcast, they don’t respond to whispers, and they even sell food to me for money. Anyway, what’s not right?!”
Asus had a lot in mind.
*
Bubble!
Inside the boiling lava, X burst into flames.
“...Hahaha!!”
It is lava that reaches thousands of degrees. A sight that might make anyone worry that he was buried in lava and completely lost his mind before dying.
However, the effects of the heavenly cooking were still maintained.
‘It goes up, it goes up, it keeps going up!!’
[Flame Absorbed: 59.0%]
The traveler’s sword is being shed by the fire dragon’s teeth! The heat of the lava was being absorbed at a breakneck speed, and the percentage was rising in real time.
Thanks to this, X, who was half-bathing in lava, was given time to think.
‘So many things happened.’
I will become a mage ranker within 3 months!
A month and 14 days have passed since the declaration was made in front of viewers. The past days of repeated toil in all kinds of hunting grounds to keep that promise!
There were more than dozens of major incidents that occurred during that time.
Naturally, the biggest hit was Fate’s supremacy. Every day, a new order of power was being created, centered around the guild.
There were huge guilds that fell into the abyss, and new rookie guilds that raised their stock prices also appeared.
X let out a rotten smile.
“What type of hegemony is it, excluding me?”
However, to X, who heard all the stories floating around the world, it was a sad sound.
When the absorbed flame exceeded 65%, it stopped rising. It seemed like the trick ended here.
X, who escaped, put on the equipment he had taken off.
“Now shall we go and report survival?”
Survival report!
After a long dive, the time has come to emerge from the surface again.
What this meant was that X had achieved his declaration half way ahead of time.
“But I think it’s kind of amazing, don’t you think?”
X, with a grinning smile, opened the status window.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
