Strongest Man
Krill Regall Part 3
Money makes everything possible.
This goes for the real world and this one. Two of the pre-selected members of the Iron Blood Order had died, but only one death was reported. Another witch who lost the chosen one had been dragged away by the Iron Blood Knight and was never seen again. In Krill's short life, there was never a moment that caused him to shudder more. Krill was now standing in front of the office and in front of a high-ranked and armored Iron Blood Knight.
’’ You're wise, my friend. You said you were Krill Regall? ’
The high ranked Iron Blood Knight raised a thick emerald into his eyes and carefully examined it through one eye. He has had many accomplishments, as the scars on his face testify. This man was the third Regiment's Captain Assault, Sangil Ma. In this mass summoning, he was the one responsible for taking care of the chosen ones.
” If you try to bribe me with allowance, you will get rough treatment. You may have suffered a worse fate than any other idiot who was dragged down before. In a place you don't know very well called Korea, there is a serious crime called overstepping your limits. ’
Sangil said this with a bone-chilling smile.
’’When .. When have I ever done such a thing?’
He put the emerald into his pocket and spoke in a low voice.
”I know that. That's why I called you. ‘’
’’For now, return to observation tower.’
”What? You said ... back? ’
His election is dead. What to do even if he comes back?
Sangil slashed her nails with nail clippers as she spoke in an irritated voice.
’’I think you have a good head on your shoulder, but maybe I'm wrong.’ ’
’’ … ’’
’’ Hyunsuk is alive. ’’
When he heard this, Krill felt a chill run through his body.
‘This is exactly as the man said!’
The man, who had yet to reveal his name, told Krill in a cold voice.
’They will at least let you live for now. But remember, they won't let you go, nor will they forgive you. ’
The current situation flowed exactly as predicted by that unknown person. Sangil sent Krill back to the observation tower to wait on standby. Inside the birdcage, there was a small flying squirrel with its white-striped fur moving busily. Krill tied a sesame-seed-sized letter to the feet of the flying squirrel and whispered as he opened the back window.
’’Please pass this on to that person.’ ’
’’ Kyu kyu! ’’
The extraordinarily intelligent flying squirrel nodded and then let his little body fly out through the open window.
*
’’ Kyu, kyu! ’’
Kim Sungchul unrolled the paper at the squirrel's feet and confirmed the contents.
[Tomorrow's Match Rating will be conducted by the Alamo Rule. You'll fight zombies. ]
[The prize piece is at 1/3/10/30 zombie]
[Monster monsters will wear red hats. ]
’’ ….. ’’
Sungchul memorized the contents in his head and rubbed the paper between his fingers. Paper became dust and scattered in the wind.
”You did well.”
Kim Sungchul took out a piece of bread from his pocket and offered it to the flying squirrel.
’’ Kyuing? ’’
The flying squirrel enjoyed the bread, then looked at Sungchul with interest before disappearing into the darkness.
She's a smart cake, Sungchul thought as he told her the information Krill Regall gave her.
’’ Zombies will come out with Alamo Rules. That's not a bad start. ’
The ranking of matches has many methods. There may be a death match between the summoning of each plaza or a fight set among the elites representing each plaza, or even a Pac-Man game where you have to dodge monsters, and many other strange rules with names that have no obvious origins, such as his own. .
The Alamo rule, which was about to begin, was one in which the summoned ones would work together to defend against many demonic creatures. Although demonic creatures were easy enough for beginners to deal with individually, there would be a large number of them. As defenders, it would feel like they were fighting against an endless wave of monsters.
But it is also an opportunity. Although these are weak monsters, as long as you can take care of them your yokamu will be rewarded. Krill Regall has mentioned cutoffs for prizes, which change at each marking 1, 3, 10, and 30 kills.
In other words, it meant that the best reward could be obtained from hunting over 30 of them. Of course, if you are in the top 3 in the Kill score, you will also get a special reward, but he does not intend to be in the top 3. He would do enough work to earn all the standard rewards. It was Sungchul's goal, he was going to look for bonus monsters.
The zombies with red caps, these bonus monsters, were slightly stronger than normal, but defeating them resulted in great rewards.
Sungchul was unsure about what the rewards were, but based on his past experience, it definitely included the Palace Token. This information is valuable to Sungchul who needs 19 additional Palace Tokens.
At dawn of the second day. Sungchul opened his eyes to the demonic energy I knew.
The necromancers had arrived at the summoning palace and chanted spells to raise the dead.
’’ Guuuuuh ’’
In the morgue below the summoning palace, the dead came back to life. These are the victims of the first day of mass summoning. Thousands of these corpses followed the necromancer's orders to move through the underground tunnel to stand outside the entrance of Blanche Plaza which was connected to the palace. Most of the summoned people could not imagine such a scene, but the preselected ones were informed in advance of what had happened
’’ Kim hyung! Did you hear that voice? ’
Yungjong acted rather friendly.
’’You mean the part where matching ratings will start today?’
”Yes. According to their guides, they were told to fight in front instead of heading to the back line. ’
”Is that so?”
’They say to get at least 30. Damn ... I'm a little nervous.’
Getting 30 kills is the minimum requirement to get the best reward. Krill Regall's information seems reliable. A little after sunrise, homunculi, including Sergeant Bor, appear at Blanche Plaza.
’Now, man! Rise and shine! The most important event; the ranking match, starts now! ’
The hungry and thirsty people all stared at the homunculi with empty eyes. Sergeant Bor flaunts his razor teeth as he smiles and starts talking in a very annoying voice.
’’ All your friends who came with you will be here soon! That's easy! Play with your old friend for 1 hour! But remember! If you kill your friends, you can get water and rations. The rewards will increase with more you kill! ’
[The first round of the Ranking match now begins.]
[Rules: Alamo]
[Featured Monster: Zombies]
[Thanks to your sword and your opponent. Reduce enemies. Here, your value will be measured only in what you prove through your own actions.]
”A sword.”
Sungchul grinned as he clasped the stick in his hand. Moonlight, one of Vestiare's gifts. Today, Kim Sungchul thought using Moonlight instead of a sword for the spectators in the observation tower.
The Otherworldly ruling class gathered at the observation tower on Match Day and would risk a large sum of money that the plaza would win. Among those in the Plaza, there were some who were able to wield swords well in their own right, as well as those who were natural in battle.
Using Moonlight will help him stand out, but the bastards in the tower will lose interest quickly, he said, What they wanted to see were not some cowards who relied on items but diamonds in the rough that showed genuine talent for fighting. The strong, hidden among the crowd, would awaken to their true nature on the battlefield today and would start working themselves to exhaustion as long as the trial grew stronger.
’’ Kim hyung, let's try our best. ’’
The chosen ones were all at the forefront, as if by the previous arrangement. Sungchul finds Ahram among them. He is also on the front line. But he doesn't hold a sword, he holds a stick. It looks a little different from Sungchul, but it also looks like the liKe mage staff is charged with magic power.
‘Because she's not training properly, do they have to babysit her with that staff?’
Sungchul had destroyed the Vestiare fragments, so the witch in charge of Ahram did not have much choice. Although it was conspicuous, in order to improve Ahram's abilities immediately, he had to be given an item that could be used instantly to increase his strength. For Sungchul this was good news, it meant that he did not need to be cautious of holding back with Moonlight.
[The match rankings start now. ]
[The restrictions have been removed. ]
[ WARNING! You could die! ]
When the message disappeared, the zombies outside the palace door pushed forward into the square with a single purpose.
’’ Uwoooooh! ’’
The summoning chose to retreat terrified by the sight of the incoming zombies.
’’ Uuuh ..! Please let me live! ’
’What happened with this nonsense ..’ ’
Some people backed out of the fight.
’’ Alright, everyone! Let's go!”
Some of the summoned ones who had the desire to fight went into formation and faced off against the zombies. Sungchul notices that/that the man leading them is a middle-aged office worker from day one, who has recruited a party despite being told many times. The man had no strength but fought desperately and engaged with hit-and-run combat tactics.
Unlike that man, there were people standing on their ground and fighting. It is uncertain if they are also one of the chosen ones, but they have the courage equivalent to the instincts that have been chosen and which is good for war. They were the type that sensed it by killing every zombie and quickly growing stronger. These are probably the types that in observation towers are watched with great interest. Of course, the chosen ones behind them were not just silent.
”Now! Everyone, let's go! ’
The Preselected including Yohoon went into a commotion as well.
Cut it!
Zombies are cut down easily. This was unavoidable, the strength of zombies was on par with the average strength summoned on their first day in the world. In the past week, the chosen ones had been bestowed blessings, given enchanted weapons, and went to practice, For them, the zombies were nothing more than smelly lumps of flesh.
” Wo .. Woah! I have one of these! ’
Among the chosen ones, Yungjong was a bit of a coward, but even he could easily slash through zombies. Some women stubbornly refused to go out and fight, but the chosen ones had already done their part. Meanwhile, Park Ahram stood with the women behind until he decided it was time. From his staff, two male wolves appeared and jumped onto the zombies, whipping up the bloody storm.
’’Outstanding! Nice work! ’’
Ahram's boisterous laughter resounded over the battlefield.
’’ …… ’’
Sungchul avoided the battle until there was a pause before using his staff. He directed his staff at the zombie and poured strength into it. Energy bolts shot out from the end of the stick and pierced through the zombie body.
”Wow! Kim hyung! What was that?”
Youngjong asked in surprise.
Kim Sungchul replied indifferently.
”This? I took it in the woods. ’
As he said this, Sungchul made quick work of the zombies. Ten, Twenty, Twenty-Nine. With one more left, Sungchul scans the zombie masses rushing in Finally, he finds the bastard he was looking for, a zombie wearing a red hat. Sungchul headed for bonus monster. However, two male wolves passed by him and rushed over to the red hat zombie first.
He could hear a dizzy laugh coming from behind him.
’’ Ahahahaha! It's mine! No one's gonna touch him! ’
It's Ahram. Anger erupted from Sungchul's eyes.
‘The bastard is asking for a beating ..’
Sungchul held back in the hope that the boy would still have some use in the future. He grabbed the zombie head from the floor and threw it behind. The zombie head flew like a straight arrow towards Ahram.
’’ Ack! ’’
Ahram shouted and squeezed on the floor. He dropped his precious staff before he fell unconscious.
As soon as he removed his staff, his relationship with the male wolf was severed. Sungchul now has a chance to take the red hat zombie for himself. As he aimed for his staff, he saw a woman who ran like a cheetah towards the red hat zombie.
On the outside, he looked like an ordinary summoned one. However, the spirit and pain with which he ran .. The energy in his focused gaze was unusual; if he was not careful, he could lose his red hat to her.
’’ … ’’
Sungchul poured his herkule power through his body and in an instant, he stood between the mysterious woman and the red hat zombie
Stab!
Sungchul's sword pierced through the zombie heart and their gazes met. His eyes were filled with astonishment, but his unshakable gaze was abnormal even by his harsh standards of war. However, the message that appeared hid it from his eyes.
[You've eliminated the bonus monster! ]
