Chapter 30 – Central Island (3)

Hansoo spoke as he looked at Guktae.

Guktae made a slightly anxious face but then quickly shook his head.

‘Then my rebellion was useless’

But this was only possible because Hansoo had given them all the power.

What did he believe in to hand all the power over to them and raising them like so.

Their clans were at a level where it couldn’t be compared to the ones of the past.

And the non-members under his authority had become closer to him due to his hospitality.

Their power could not even compare to Hansoo when he had crushed the others on the first day.

‘Well… This guy did indeed get strong too.’

As if he had gotten strong by eating the colorless runes from the dungeon.

It wasn’t that blades didn’t go through.

‘And I’m not alone’

So how could he attack him in such a situation.

‘But there’s still some leisure’

And Guktae did not like the current situation where he did not know what that could be.
‘I need to poke him a bit more’

Guktae, who had finished his thoughts, made a leisurely face as he spoke.

Hansoo made an amused expression as he spoke.

“…”

Her clan had taken damage because that guy hadn’t followed that rule and acted how he wanted.

Guktae mumbled inwardly.
‘What would it mean to follow such rules’

The reason why he had discreetly taken out some forces was to be better than other clans.

This place was dangerous but it was a place where they could get stronger much faster than in the other islands.

But if all the clans were to put with the same ratio of clansmen in the fight then what would it mean if there were 11 other clans at a similar level as his?

It hadn’t been long since he had come here but he knew something very important.

That was the only way of winning.

“It was because it was a decision that came up whilst I was thinking. It seemed like everyone was busy.”

‘Quickly. Show me what you are believing in’

Does he act like this because he believes he can cut off their necks here?

And there were plenty of guards outside.

But at that moment Guktae, who was making a leisurely expression, froze for a moment.

At that moment Guktae felt a chill run down his back.

This was the safest room where the castle’s entirety was visible.

Since it would be cumbersome if some crazy few ones caused terror because they don’t like how things are.

Three from each of 12 clans to make 36.
The conference doesn’t last long so if it wasn’t a number that affected the defense and as a Lord, they should have at least this much privilege.

But there was no sound of clashing.

Everyone had been looking at Hansoo with similar expressions.

“You see, I’ve gotten a new merchandise these days. To fit the season.”

Shshhhhk.

The eyes of the Lords became cold.

Invisibility.

Since their perception stat wasn’t that bad to the point where they would lose the enemy because they couldn’t see something.

But they couldn’t see where he was.

There was something that worked even against their increased perception.

If a weakling had used it then it would’ve been obvious but they couldn’t know because of the bracelet’s powers coupled with Hansoo’s movements.

He had walked through their most trustworthy 36 clansmen.

This meant that the amount of the clan’s strength wasn’t important.

It would be over right away if he cut your neck in your sleep.

Why would he show something so precious?

But he had shown it to them on purpose.
It meant do things well on their own.

Guktae finally knew why Hansoo wasn’t interested in the position of a leader.

He couldn’t control the 2000 people alone.

But that was possible for Clan Lords.

Since as long as he controlled the twelve of them, it was like controlling all of them.

‘I got it right on time’

And it was something he needed to acquire first in this dungeon of the Central Island.

Of course it would be useless in battle because of the aura and harsh moments but this wasn’t for such times.
He had invested all his time in the dungeon in order to gain this.

‘Well. Thankfully I got all my runes up to Colorless.’

“It may happen that a person makes a mistake. We can solve it with talks.”

“Then the profit you gained from extra hunting will be shared equally with the clansmen participating in the defense and you can just fix the ratio of hunting and defense tomorrow right? Oh and give payments to the injured for compensation.”

A few Clan Lords grinded their teeth at this but nodded their heads.

But Guktae still looked at Hansoo just in case.

It hadn’t ended yet.

Since the castle would become dangerous without them.

And he probably wasn’t the only Lord with the same thoughts.

But Guktae shook his head after seeing Hansoo’s eyes.

Those eyes weren’t those which would let him go.

He had seen those eyes before.

Those were the same eyes as when he crushed the 30 people on the first day.

He was looking at it in such a way that if he beat one down in order to show the others then it would be fine.

‘Just this much for today.’

Guktae took a step back after mumbling inside his head.

He really really did not like that.

But Hansoo had clearly shown him who was holding onto his lifeline.
His rage was bubbling but he had to retreat for today.

‘I shall excuse you just for a while’

The person in front of him was a bit different and that was why he had lost superiority here but eventually a chance will come along again.

‘Well. Somebody who uses their head is better’

It was better the sharper it was.
‘Not listening to my words is in the expectations as well.’

There would be nobody left on this island if he cut off their heads because he didn’t like them or because they were greedy.

It wasn’t that all of them had turned greedy in just 10 days.

But ten days was more than enough to kill of every kind person who would care for others.

That encouraging good and punishing evil was only possible in a book or something.
This was not a place where a kind hero of justice would survive but rather a place where someone who would hit that hero from the back would survive.

‘Well. Eres was a special case.’

Since it meant that they had the luck and skill to keep their kindheartedness whilst surviving.

The game was very long and they could only survive by crushing others on the island above.

This won’t last long either.

‘The thing I need to get next is…

Since it was clear that this was a land of opportunity.

Hansoo looked at the sky.
And soon after, the fairy appeared.

The fairy which had appeared suddenly above the castle.

Everyone in the castle frowned as the fairy appeared.

“Hi everyone! Aww, Don’t frown like that. I’m not here to lay my hands on you.”

“If you look at me with such distrustful eyes then you’ll hurt me. I’m just here to tell you something which I didn’t tell you about. It’s not much. If the crystal gets crushed then the whole island will fall. Well. It won’t fall right away. It’ll fall slowly in about 10 to 20 days.”

There wasn’t much shock between the people.

The fact that they had to protect it with all their strength did not change.

“The actual important part is the second part. You were all comfortable so far right? The undead is… well, just child’s play. This team defended better than I thought. The demons will start coming out on this third day!”

Everybody cursed as they looked at the fairy.

That son of a fly was like a messenger of destruction.

The fairy made a slightly hurt expression at those words but then opened its mouth again.

“…”

The fairy did mention it before.

But even then it would be all over if they died.

“…?”
“If you collect the Mini-Crystals then you can trade it for a really good artifact! It is much better than the ones you have. It’s obvious that the reward would be better the more you collect right? Look at the catalogue in your pocket for those. By the way there aren’t many demons, you need to try harder than the others in order to get the crystals”

Everyone made a sour expression.

And how would they collect enough from the bits the demons dropped to trade it for an artifact when there’s thousands of people?

Even if they did lay their hands on it, only the Clan Lords would do so.

As the people made sour expressions, the Fairy added another thing.

“…?”

No matter if that giant crystal broke or not.

They can escape this dangerous situation to a different island at any time.
Which meant that this was a privilege equal to a life.

Everyone’s expressions changed at these words.

The fairy smiled as it looked at everyone’s expressions.

And the fairy disappeared as a beastly looking otherworldly existence started to slowly approach them.

There wasn’t enough information yet.

But one thing was clear.

They didn’t charge in first but they had no thoughts of missing this chance.

Everyone knew that the best scenario was to attack them as the one who charged it was was about to kill it so everyone stood still while standing close to each other. [*PR Note: Kill Steal!]

Hansoo shook his head as he looked at this scene.

A different name for the Central Island that attracted people below with its sweet runes and artifacts.

If you disregard the people who went up using the crystals then the survival rate here was 8%.

And this was all because of that damnable Crystal.

If five die in order to attain it and another five go up using it, then 5 more will die from lack of numbers.

It was not an object that should be allowed to be set free.

‘I will collect it and exchange it for .’
Hansoo walked forward after looking at the others for a while and everyone’s eyes shone at Hansoo’s back instead of the Demon’s.
