Chapter 182
Chapter 182
-Is it really ending today?
-As long as Sung JiHan doesn't get caught, we'll achieve the points in no time lol
-For real, we already have 5,000 points. Shouldn't we go hunt the Chimera at 8,000?
The progress of the game went very smoothly.
From the start, Sung JiHan, who far surpassed the level of Platinum, had only one weakness, which was the team penalty.
There was no one who could stop him from annihilating all three races by himself.
[NO.4212... Attack him. He belongs to the species.]
[To meet the candidate for the Holy See with the same species, this game is unlucky.]
The species that met Sung JiHan and got destroyed would run away as soon as they saw humans.
"What, what is this? Why is this guy so strong?!"
"I could have participated if only I was Platinum..."
"In the Space League... Are there beings like this...?"
The new participants who dreamed big and participated in the battlefield of chaos.
As soon as the barrier disappeared, they were hit by Sung JiHan's fierce attacks and disappeared.
"Moving is the most annoying thing."
"That's right. We're really going to clear it today."
"It was a crisis only at the beginning, now... well..."
They only suffered a little damage during the attacks of the giant's palm and the genie.
There are still over 400 members of the expedition surviving.
"If I receive 7 stat points, where should I invest them?"
"I'm glad I didn't promote to Diamond and stayed in Platinum."
"But Sung JiHan is really a monster. I feel sorry for the players in the Northeast Asia League."
Now, most people were expecting that the chaos battlefield would finally end today.
At that moment.
Kurrrrr...!
"Oh, another earthquake."
"Isn't it like the giant genie popping out earlier?"
"It doesn't look like an enemy... This map is just not great."
The expedition stopped their march due to the sudden earthquake.
It was a quite powerful tremor, but since the expedition was at a level higher than Platinum, there were no casualties.
However, due to the intense shaking of the ground, their movements were restricted.
Kurrrrr...
"This one is lasting longer..."
"That's right. It didn't last more than 5 minutes earlier."
"Could it be that enemies are coming?"
Unlike usual, the earthquake continued for a long time.
When people were just thinking it was strange.
Bang! Bang!
"Oh! What, what is it?"
"That's... a rift..."
After a strong explosion occurred in the nearby land.
The ground rose, and the rift of chaos gradually appeared.
And from within, one by one, the Chimeras emerged.
Sung JiHan looked at this and recalled memories from his previous life.
"When the rift of chaos starts to appear due to an earthquake, the sky and the ground will be overturned..."
The terrain was destroyed, and the heavens and the earth were flipped and then returned.
The battlefield of chaos was overwhelmingly advantageous for the flying races.
Until now, the game had been too easy for humanity to realize this, but now it would be different.
"Normally, I should protect the main base here..."
Sung JiHan, who had no intention of ending the game yet, made the opposite choice.
"There are no enemies nearby, so let's go from where the rift appeared."
"Understood."
"If the Chimeras attack, just defend. I'll go inside the rift and get some points."
"Yes!"
Sung JiHan rushed alone towards the newly formed rift.
With a flash of his spear and sword, the Chimeras were instantly cut apart.
The surviving Chimeras, who were not within the range of his attacks, then...
"Krrr..."
After briefly looking at Sung JiHan, they quickly turned their heads and started running towards the main base of the expedition.
The monster judged that it was better to charge towards the group of over 400 people rather than to attack Sung JiHan alone.
It seemed to lack reason, but it was making a very rational decision.
"Shield binding to the front!"
"I will use the barrier as well!"
The warriors and supports took their defensive positions.
"Hmph...! I was getting bored, but this is good. Finally, let's try attacking."
"I will take the lead in shooting."
The promising newcomers of other classes chosen by Sung JiHan.
They each tried to launch an attack in their own way.
"I will be the one to take the point after Sung! Fire Wave!"
Baron used his patented Fire Wave.
Unlike before, a wave of intense flames engulfed the Chimera.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Chimera was engulfed in flames, its whole body burning.
"Heh...! It's nothing special."
Baron smirked as he watched the Chimera burning in the Fire Wave.
"But why is it still moving?"
"Huh...?"
Whether it was due to its resistance to fire or not, the Chimera strongly resisted the Fire Wave.
"I guess I'll have to take second place after Uncle. Void Arrow!"
Yoon Se-ah took her bow and used the Void Arrow skill.
Unlike Baron, she couldn't perform an area attack.
Thwick! Thwick!
"Krrr...!"
Every time an arrow was shot, the Chimera stopped moving and fell.
Yoon Se-ah dealt with each one with certainty.
Baron watched her from the side, biting his lip.
If this continues, even Sung JiHan won't be able to win against his nephew.
"Do it properly for me...! Just watch, Yoon Se-ah!"
"Let me try, please."
"I'll join in too."
"Oh, Mr. Masid seems more threatening."
"Ugh... Show us the results!"
That's how the promising newcomers Sung JiHan brought started to eliminate the Chimera in their own ways.
"It's holding up well."
"Yes, even blocking the giant's palm."
The trained level 200 warriors easily blocked the Chimera.
The game progressed too easily.
"Captain, should we really... commit suicide now?"
"Well, we commit suicide all the time! We can easily block the Chimera even if we die."
"But if we keep going like this, we'll really be defeated...!"
While only the warriors belonging to the People's Council were anxious.
[The rift of chaos expands, and the world is turned upside down.]
A message appeared, announcing a change in the game.
***
The change was sudden.
"Wha, what...?"
The sky and the ground were instantly flipped. The players standing on the ground began to fall into the sky all at once.
Whoosh!
The world that had been flipped soon returned to its original state.
"What, what is this...! We're... in the sky!"
"The Chimera bastards are flying around?"
"Cough, cough...!"
The expedition team was floating in the air.
With their defensive positions completely released in an instant, the expedition team was attacked by the Chimera.
Unlike a moment ago, the number of casualties increased rapidly.
"Let's use Shield Binding again!"
"Let's gather!"
The expedition team tried to regain control of the situation.
[Gravity will return to normal in 10 seconds.]
As the world flipped and the weakened gravity returned.
"We'll fall if this continues...!"
"Can we use the Fly magic, all of us?"
"It's difficult in 10 seconds!"
"Then let's use Shield Binding towards the ground!"
The expeditionary force that is trying to prevent a crash at all costs.
The main force of the expeditionary force is in the most critical moment.
The Chinese warriors belonging to the People's Council exchanged glances.
"Now is the time."
"Let's commit suicide."
"Shield Binding!"
Shield Binding.
A skill that summons a giant shield used by more than 150 warriors gathered together.
Until just a moment ago, even if the warriors of the People's Council fell or not, the Shield Binding was maintained well.
But now, when the sky and the ground are turned upside down, it was different.
Because the warriors' forces did not gather perfectly, the Shield Binding could not be maintained properly if some of them fell.
The warriors of the People's Council took advantage of this opportunity.
"Key, the Chimera...! Ah!"
"Oh, the shield fell...!"
Some pushed themselves forward to be attacked by the Chimera.
Some, in their confusion, floated in the air and dropped their shields on the ground.
In their own ways, the warriors of the People's Council disrupted the unity of the team as much as possible.
"The Shield Binding was not properly summoned!"
"Oh no...!"
Bang! Bang!
Numerous players fell to their deaths.
"Oh, I'm not dead..."
"Huh?"
Toward the surviving scattered humans, not only the Chimera but also the powerful races that had been chased by Sung JiHan attacked.
"That guy is not here."
"Let's drop them here."
The powerful races that had been chased by Sung JiHan until now began to attack humanity all at once.
Bang!
A giant that was suddenly summoned raised its hand and attacked the expeditionary force.
The giant worm swallowed humans from underground.
"Hell... What is this?"
"Were those bastards hiding and following us? Why did they suddenly all come out?"
"We're too powerless without the Shield Binding..."
"Oh, I thought we were all done ㅠㅠ"
When the world was turned upside down and the situation was about to be wiped out, the viewers felt sorry.
"Is this the end?"
Sung JiHan had come down to the bottom of the chaos rift.
"Uh, uh..."
"I don't know... I don't know!"
"Show mercy to the losers..."
The world dyed in purple.
As the Chimeras merged, voices of lost souls saying they didn't know anything spread from all directions.
Both the world turned upside down and the hell were not easy places.
Sung JiHan thought of an epic quest.
[Epic Quest]
-Find the 'Fragment of the Destroyed Star' hidden in the chaos rift.
Reward - Achievement Points 1000000.
-Extend the limit level value by +50.
-Additional rewards according to the discovered fragment of the star.
Perhaps because they gave out rewards on an unprecedented scale.
Even though the fragment of the star had descended to the bottom of the rift, there was no sign of it.
If they continued the game without any clues like this, it seemed that they would not be able to discover the fragment of the star until the rehearsal ended in December.
"It won't work. First, I need to clean up the surrounding environment."
Sung JiHan took out two swords from his inventory.
Mumyongshingong.
Myeolsingyeol.
Mangwibongsin.
As the two swords broke, small patterns were created on the ground.
Shuuuu...!
Screaming souls from all directions began to be sucked into it.
"Ah... No?"
"The chaos restraint... is being released...!"
[Finally, I am disappearing!]
The crowd of souls rejoiced as they were sucked into the gate of the afterlife.
In an instant, the world, shrouded in purple smoke, was purified.
The chimeras that had been attacking from all directions came to a halt.
As expected, Sung JiHan, the Sung JiHan who excelled in manipulating souls, was the best among the martial arts masters who could handle souls.
"This is the limit."
The number of souls within the crack, it couldn't last long.
Boom!
As the pattern of the gate of the afterlife burst open, the absorption of souls stopped.
But still.
"Salvation, salvation has come!"
"Savior, this way...!"
The attitude of the chimera's souls, who had been begging for mercy until now, completely changed.
They called Sung JiHan the savior and flocked to one place.
Sss...
Then the floor opened.
A hidden space, unnoticed even by Sung JiHan who possessed a soul, was revealed.
"Please, completely eliminate us...!"
As Sung JiHan entered the hidden space.
Inside, a giant cube, dyed in purple, floated in the air.
Within it, an even stronger aura of death flowed than before.
It was almost comparable to the seat of a dead star that Kalein possessed.
"I can't withstand this aura."
It was difficult to withstand with the power of his soul.
Sung JiHan used the same method as when he confronted Kalein last time.
The nameless divine technique.
The annihilating divine secret.
The iron-blooded cross.
A pure white cross with a hole in the middle.
Originally an offensive technique, this martial art had been used more for defense recently.
He infused it with the life force he obtained from the World Tree.
Shooo!
A green shield enveloped his body, completely blocking the aura of death.
"Indeed, savior!"
"We can endure!"
"We won't die!"
The souls cheered.
"Please, destroy that!"
They asked, filled with even more hope, to destroy the cube.
It seemed like an opponent that would require the use of the gate of the afterlife.
"If I use both the annihilating divine secret and the gate of the afterlife now, my soul will be completely exhausted..."
The annihilating divine secret required an immense amount of power.
Using both of them at the same time was not easy, even for Sung JiHan.
If he used the gate of the afterlife now, his power would definitely be depleted.
If he planned to continue the battle later, he had to retreat from here.
At times like this, if the expedition team finished the job, he could use his power without any burden.
"The world must have turned upside down, but they seem to be holding up well. Hm... should I join the People's Council?"
While Sung JiHan was feeling regretful.
"The survival rate of your team has dropped below 10%."
"In 15 minutes, you will be expelled from the map."
A timely message appeared in Sung JiHan's system.
Thankfully, it was a message that the team had been completely wiped out.
"Good."
If that was the case, the game was already over, so it didn't matter if he used all his power.
Sung JiHan took out two S-grade swords from his inventory and approached the cube.
And there, he inserted the swords and used the gate of the afterlife.
Thump...
As cracks began to form in the cube.
"The seal stone of chaos turns to gold."
"The fragment of the destroyed star reveals its form."
The goal of this epic quest.
The fragment of the destroyed star appeared from within.
