Chapter 395: Argentina (2)

The Sayens Guild members couldn’t help but be stunned at the shocking sight.

Moreover, they saw the terrible scene of the black liquid coming into contact with an ordinary person’s left foot because he could not escape in time.

“…”

No one would have been surprised if the ordinary man’s skin melted instantly as if he had touched lava because that’s what they expected, no matter how creepy such a thought was.

But the scene of him being completely sucked into the black liquid without even being able to scream terrified all of them. And even more terrifying was the fact that the black liquid shrunk to less than three centimeters in diameter straight after.

“Run away!”

“Avoid it!”

In the end, both the attacks and the barriers failed at containing the advance of the black liquid. So the Sayens guild members retreated helplessly.

They knew they couldn’t stop the advance of that black liquid under any circumstances.

Even though it moved slowly, the black liquid spread all over Buenos Aires, devouring everything as if it were a living creature.

***

In the level 1800 hunting ground, Land of the Ancient Spirit.

Blink. Puck!

My hunting here was very simple.

I approached a blue ancient spirit using Blink with a zero cooldown, then wielded Ice Emperor’s guardian sword. And that was it.

Even though the monster was level 1800, I didn’t have to attack it twice because the weapon in my hands was a +8 Enhancement myth grade weapon, not an ordinary weapon. Besides, it was basically embedded with level 3 ice weapon at all times.

What’s more, I had a skill which I didn’t use much like Ice Shield, namely, level 3 Ice Weapon.

Originally I could not double the power of this ice weapon in the guardian sword, but because of the nature of its myth grade, I could double it to level 6 ice weapon by maximizing its power. That’s why I still kept it even though I hardly used it.

Of course, the Ancient Spirit didn’t have high health and defense power like the Titans, so I could easily kill it with a single strike even though it was level 1800.

Anyway, I continued to hunt only the blue ancient spirit, thinking that as soon as I was done imprinting the trait, I would get rid of the remaining spirits with my AOE skills anyway.

At that moment, somebody sent me a message. It was my sister.

[Super Beauty: Juyoung, can you log out for a moment?]

Obviously, her tone was very urgent.

Instead of asking why, I immediately replied in the positive.

Then I exited the level 1800 hunting ground and logged out in the safety area.

In the small conference room of the Myongjin Shelter a little later.

As soon as I logged out of ‘Revival Legend’, I was led by my sister into the meeting room.

My father, elder brother, as well as the top executives of the Myongjin Guild including Director Sok, were already there waiting for me.

As soon as I sat down with my sister, Director Sok stood up and opened his mouth after playing a video.

“This is what is happening in Argentina right now in real time.”

As soon as Director Sok said that, an image appeared on the screen installed on one side.

I watched the video silently.

There was a reason why the important members of the Myongjin Guild gathered here.

“Stop it!”

“Build a wall to keep it from entering!”

“Attack! Any attack is fine! Use your most powerful attacks freely! It’s going to work!”

“Yes!”

“Alright. Fire Field!”

“Thick Earth Spear!”

“Soar! Thick Earth Wall!”

“Summon! Fire Spirit!”

“Blow Biting Wind!”

“Lock it up and freeze it! Ice Barrier!”

Obviously, they were fighting fiercely on the battlefield. Moreover, there were not just those who had raised their reality actualization rate present at the scene. Behind them were numerous tanks as well as soldiers in military uniforms.

“What the hell are you doing! Tanks! Helicopters! Fighter Jets! Mobilize every weapon you can!”

“Summon the battleships to the shore too! Let them fire directly at it!”

“Yes!”

“Got it!”

Dozens of fighter jets were flying in the sky.

They were firing shots over the enemy endlessly. At first glance, the target looked like a dark black liquid. The video showed all of it.

When the fight entered a lull, Director Sok opened his mouth.

“This place is Buenos Aires, Argentina. According to the latest report we got from Buenos Aires, the black liquid appeared exactly seven hours ago.”

The moment he mentioned Buenos Aires, Argentina, only one thing came to my mind. It was the Talagapa Guild who suggested that I visit the place called ㅇㅇㅇ just a few months ago.

As if I wasn’t the only one who thought of that, Director Sok opened his mouth, nodding at me.

“Yes. The Talagapa Guild. Its original epicenter was precisely the main base of the old Talagapa Guild. We don’t have the relevant video, but according to our intelligence, black lightning struck the building hundreds of times, after which the black liquid appeared from it.”

After hearing that, I responded gently, “There must be a reason why they want to stop the black liquid from spreading so desperately.”

“Yes. This is it.”

As if he knew I would ask such a question, Director Sok once again pointed to the screen, which was now showing another scene.

Ordinary citizens, and animals like cats and dogs.

As soon as they touched the black liquid, it swallowed them up right away.

Director Sok said, “Even those who raised their reality actualization rate were absorbed and disappeared as soon as they touched that black liquid. Of course, there is no guarantee that their disappearance necessarily means death, but we are 99% confident that they must have perished.”

“I wonder if that black liquid will cover the whole earth,” asked my sister.

But Director Sok didn’t respond because he didn’t know.

Director Sok continued, based on all the intelligence that he collected in real time.

“Not only Brazil, next to Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, but also America, Europe and Russia have decided to dispatch reinforcements to Argentina. According to the information that leaked from Interlagos, the most trusted information guild, the black liquid becomes more powerful when it devours animals or humans, or those users playing ‘Revival Legend’. That is why we have to get rid of it as soon as possible. Otherwise…”

Director Sok didn’t finish his words, but I didn’t ask because I knew why he did so.

He then looked at me and said, “Currently, not only Argentina, but also other countries around the world are strongly requesting your help.”

“…”

Until they appeared, who I originally mistook for NPCs, I thought that my only competitors or enemies were those playing the same ‘Revival Legend’ on the earth. So, every time these competitors asked me for my help, I unconditionally forced them to compensate me with a reward.

For I could be stronger only when they, my potential rivals, were weakened.

But after watching those people appear in Osaka and knowing that they would show up more often in the future, I realized that they were my real enemies.

If I lose to them, not only I, but also my family and everyone who has ties with me will die.

So, I said to Director Sok in a quiet voice, “Sure, let me go.”

Maybe I will need the help fo all the other guilds and countries like Argentina in the future

After all, we have a common enemy for the same reason that we belong to the same planet.
