Closed Beta That Only I Played-Chapter 372 - The Land That Summons Monsters (1)

All the members of the Myongjin Guild received 2000 coins per person just because they belonged to the guild, regardless of whether they were level 1200, or level 900, or even level 300.

Even if coins were not exchangeable, coins were still coins anyway.

Because of that, there was a big fuss over it both within ‘Revival Legend’ and in reality. And their fuss led to a festival.

Moreover, the fact that the Myongjin Guild could not accept new members during the King of Kings event was a sure sign that winning the King of Kings would give valuable rewards to all the guild members like this time, so the festival took place with a happy mood until late into the night. However, there was a place within the Myongjin Shelter that could not be affected by such a festive atmosphere.

It was the small meeting room of Myungjin Shelter.

“Really? Have they not come back yet?” my father asked.

“Nope. Yesterday was eactly the 30th day after Argentina’s Talagapa Guild travelled to that place. But none of the 30 members returned, so the Talagapa Guild is very concerned now,” Director Sok replied.

My father asked again, “Is there any possibility that they are delaying their return because they are acquiring somethign valuable there? For example, EXP points or coins. Moreover, the cooldown that allows them to return after 30 days might be over, but they have no obligation to return within 30 days, right?”

“That’s right. As you said, we can’t rule out such a possibility. But if that was the case, it is the judgment of our Intelligence Department that the Talagapa Guild would not have been so openly confused. Moreover, given that their leader Rodrigo is very well known for being prudent, he should have ordered at least one of the 30 members to return and report about their situation even if that place was littered with all kinds of treasures.”

“Hmm, that makes sense…”

My father groaned at his response.

Of course, Argentina’s Talagapa Guild might be important to the Myongjin Guild, but they were most closely related to the unusual pace of the current ‘Revival Legend’. That’s why we could not help but pay attention to their return, not to mention the first-hand information they obtained by visiting there.

But there was no news about their return. What’s more, since the 30-day cooldown period was over, there was only one conclusion in our minds. The expedition team must have been annihilated.

Perhaps because of that, there was a heavy silence in the small meeting room.

At that moment, my father at the top of the conference table broke the silence and said loudly, “What’s important to us at the moment is the King of Kings event that will happen in three days . As for Argentina’s Talagapa Guild, all you have to do is just confirm whether any of them have returned or not.”

The message clearly said that the current event planned right before merging the current 40 regions into one would proceed quickly.

During the ‘Strongest Player Selection’ event, there was quite some time before the King of Kings event was held. But this time, the message confirmed the King of Kings battle woudl take place three days later.

Back then, there were obviously quite a few people who gave up because I participated.

But this time, all the 40 teams said they would participate without any exception.

Of course, I understood their decision because their members, like ours, must have received 2000 coins by winning in their regions. In other words, no matter how slim the odds of winning in this King of Kings contest was, they would find it hard to simply give up.

Anyway, our meeting in the small meeting room ended like that.

Then I briefly appeared at the party at the Myongjin Shelter, received their cheers, and stayed there for about an hour before moving to my bedroom to go to sleep because I had a lot of work to do tomorrow.

In Barcelona, Spain, at that time.

Two men were having a conversation in a huge old mansion.

“It could be dangerous. Our opponent is Asirante. Nobody has ever defeated him.” ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

“I agree. But what can we do? Contrary to our original plan, we have lost to Asirante, and they are forcing us to do it, trembling with anger like that.”

“…”

Dylan looked at Matthias, who he had served as his master his whole life, when he spoke as if it was not a big deal.

Dylan said, “I’m sorry. Since I couldn’t stop that bastard, Pablo, you were bound by the shackle called the Lucia Guild.”

“Stop it. I could not help it at that time. I didn’t reach my reality actualization rate at that time, but Pablo had the ability to send me to Region 0, and as such, he was so invincible that nobody could stop him at that time. That’s why a lot of giust like me have been shackled by the Lucia Guild. But…”

Matthias, who sat at the top of the table, stroked his chin, then opened his mouth in a low voice.

“The thing is Asirante has endured it even when he didn’t reach level 1200 and achieve his reality actualization rate.”

“…”

As Matthias said, Dylan had no choice but to question it beyond just feeling it was a little strange.

For Asirante achieved what no one else had ever done before. And he did not even get shackled by the Lucia Guild.

Matthias got up from his chair, and opened his mouth while moving toward the window.

“Nonetheless, we really have to thank Asirante for making Pablo useless by destroying his ability to send people to Region 0. After all, I could kill Pablo by beating him ruthlessly with my own hands.”

Even though he killed Pablo, who bound him to the Lucia Guild, he still felt bitter at the situation where he could not escape the Lucia Guild’s shackles. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

Since Dylan knew Mathias’s situation very well, he opened his mouth loudly to change the atmosphere.

“Got it. Currently Asirante and the Myongjin Guild must be very busy preparing for the King of Kings match, so let me start investigating right away.”

“No, you don’t have to.”

“But right now, there are strange rumors circulating that all kinds of debuffs don’t work on Asirante at all. I just wonder…”

“It doesn’t matter. The Land that Summons Monsters is not something that inflicts direct damage on anyone. It just literally summons monsters there. Of course, the odds are very low, but I wish the land can produce monsters that will deal real damage to Asirante.”

“Is that possible?”

“Well, I don’t know, either. Even the guild leader who gave me this order does not expect it. Given Asirante’s capabilities, he must know that it’s almost impossible for the monsters to inflict real damage on him. But it seems that the guy hopes that we could slow down his growth a bit by inflicting damage on those around him. Hmm… Let’s see if that’s possible.”

Matthias, who was talking while looking at the scenery outside the window, was prepared to move according to the order of the guild leader of the Lucia Guild, although he didn’t like it.

For this was the best time when he could place the entire Myongjin Shelter on the Land that Summons Monsters, as his deputy Dylan said, given that the King of Kings match was supposed to take place quite soon.
