Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 420
Chapter 420: Fashant, Incarnation of Spirit King (2)
But his deputy knew who his boss was referring to, so he answered right away.
“It seems like he’s going to launch a frontal attack. He has already summoned all his subordinates!”
“Man, he is crazy! Damn crazy!”
“Isn’t he crazy by nature? Such a guy believes he should be the hero, and that everybody should pay attention to him.”
“Then who do you think will win if the two fight?”
“If Juyoung Hong sticks with the Myongjin Guild, they are going to win for certain. Even that crazy guy of the Lucia Guild would not have dared to reveal his claws. Even though he is crazy, he wouldn’t bring about his own death by challenging Myongjin. But if Myongjin doesn’t have Juyoung Hong…”
Oliveira asked again when his deputy didn’t finish his sentence, “So what will happen if Myongjin is not backed up by Juyoung Hong?”
His deputy paused for a moment, then continued, “Myongjin will be defeated. No matter how strong the Myongjin Guild is, the Lucia Guild led by that crazy guy is also very strong. So much so that many people even thought the savior of the Earth was that crazy leader of the Lucia Guild.”
“Hmm…”
Oliveira stroked his mustache for a moment.
But his deputy continued, “Then, do you want me to tip off Myongjin about it? I guess we will receive a large reward if Juyoung comes back to Earth safely.”
But Oliveira still did not stop stroking his mustache while listening to him.
So his deputy didn’t talk any more.
After a brief silence, Oliveira softly opened his mouth.
“Just leave it alone.”
“Pardon? Then Myongjin will be shattered. That madman, blinded by his jealousy, will never spare anyone belonging to Myongjin,” he said, stunned as if he didn’t expect such a reply from his boss.
But Oliveira said calmly as if he did not say something shocking, “Superman left America to join the UN, and Spiderman also left New York to go to Europe.”
“Pardon? I don’t understand what you are talking about…”
“If you look at Juyoung Hong’s activities until now, he tends to only care about the Myongjin Guild and those affiliated with the guild. He shouldn’t do that. How can a superhero like him care about only those affiliated with him?”
“…”
His deputy couldn’t reply, or more precisely he didn’t reply.
As if he didn’t care, Oliveira said, “Juyoung Hong should act for everybody, not just his own people. So stay put. Just keep monitoring that madman’s movements. No matter how strong he is, Myongjin is not weak at all, so he will suffer quite a lot of damage in the end. Moreover, if the Mirae Guild and Tugal Guild join hands with Myongjin, he will suffer much greater damage. In that case, we won’t have any difficulties tracking him down.”
“Yes, sir!”
They wrapped up the meeting after making such a decision.
***
Juyoung Hong appeared in the 107th Regular District on the 5th day of the event ‘Advance Party’.. Shortly afterwards, Fashant, the de facto ruler of the 107th Regular District and the owner of the 7th Royal District, also called the incarnation of the Spirit King, appeared. And the battle between the two was still underway.
While they were fighting, not only the original residents in the 107th Regular District, but also others who began to arrive there after hearing about the duel, watched their fight from afar in a very relaxed manner. For their king, Fashant, was the owner of one of the ten Royal Districts, and he had held that position until now for good reason.
However, as the battle went on, the majority of them could not help but feel restless because they could clearly notice who was stronger, although they seemed to be on a par on the surface.
It was not the intruder, but their king Fashant, who was being pushed back little by little.
“How could that intruder be so strong?”
“It doesn’t make any sense!”
“But why doesn’t Fashant use the Earth Spirit?”
“Well, it’s because Fashant and that intruder are fighting in the air now.”
“Are you kidding me? You say he can’t summon the Earth Spirit while he is floating in the air? Then what about the Earth Giant, and Earth Spear he used before?”
“That thing is…”
Most of them could not understand how their King could not use the Earth Spirit even if he was fighting in the air, so they had no choice but to argue over it. If their king was pushing the intruder hard, they could understand it, but right now their king was pushed back by the intruder, so they could not understand why he could not turn to the Earth Spirit as the last resort.
So, as the battle continued, the louder their whispers became about their king’s strange actions.
“I’m not sure about this, but I heard rumors that Basel, the ruler of 4th Royal District, was killed by the intruder.”
“Are you kidding me! The intruder can’t be that strong!”
“You bet!”
“Especially the owners of Royal Districts 1, 2, 3 and 4 are stronger than the other rulers!”
“I know. But there was a big commotion among the residents in the Major Districts under the control of the 4th Royal District whose ruler was Basel. Do you think Basel will keep silent about this, given his violent temper?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Nobody answered because they were well aware of the 4th Royal District ruler Basel’s nasty temper.
“Damn it! I hope our king Fashant won’t be defeated.”
“If Basel was defeated, Fashant might face the same fate, right?”
“But didn’t Fashant know about Basel? What we’ve heard are only rumors, but I think Fashant must have heard it directly. That’s why he has confidently confronted the intruder.”
“I guess so, but…”
“Man, what a mess!”
They kept whispering about the fate of Fashant, wondering if he could be defeated like Basel. They were watching the battle between the two nervously unlike their relaxed mood at first.
Of course, none of them thought of getting involved in that battle because they knew even if they tried to join the fight and assist Fashant against the intruder, they would not be of much help.
In fact, the battle between the two was even similar to the fierce 7th fight among the Royal District residents in the past.
***
I was still engaged in a fierce fight with Fashant.
“Pouring Hail! Ice Punishment!”
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
Bang!
[Ice spirit, descend and freeze the enemy! Snow Storm! Blow, Biting Wind of the Wind Spirit!]
Wheeeeeeeeeeng!
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
I attacked him hard, while the Snow Storm and Biting Wind that he summoned also pounded my body hard. But I didn’t avoid his attack because he also didn’t avoid my attack. In other words, we were fighting ruthlessly.
Of course, his head was smashed like a watermelon when he was hit by Ice Punishment. But ice began to form on his neck right away, then his head quickly restored to its original shape, just like his body was restored last time.
Normally, my fighting spirit would diminish at such disgusting scenes, but I didn’t this time because I knew he was suffering some kind of damage due to my attack. And I was confident in destroying him as much as I could.
Moreover, this battle was not a one-on-one duel.
But then, he turned to his hidden weapon that I had never experienced.
[Earth Spirit, raise your thick body and deal a strong blow to the enemy!]
