The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 89: Blooming in the Swamp (6)

[Predators Swamp].

In front of the rupture created in Scandinavia.

The strongest guild in Europe was more confident than anyone else.

It was Bohemian.

Weve just been unlucky.

Thats right! The Mage Tower wasnt enough, why did the ruptures only appear on the Asian side? It seems that the balance is finally getting right.

Was it Asia or Russia to be precise? Whether its Moscow or Hokkaido, the cold gives me goosebumps. I thought I would freeze to death in the shower. Seriously.

They had the full support of the EU.

Thanks to that support.

The initial atmosphere wasnt bad.

Gyver, the No. 1 paladin and guild master.

He even smiled for the first time in a long time.

When the rupture attack is over, everything will come back to normal.

One of them was the guild ranking.

Bohemian Guild had been in third place for many years right behind Shining and Union.

Even if there was a wide gap with those ahead. Gyver was overflowing with confidence that no one could catch up.

Even if there were latecomers.

Inazuma in Japan and Gaon in Korea.

How active the players could get in those small countries?

Even with national support, they couldnt have chased after Bohemian who had the EU on their backs.

But something went awry.

The permanent third place.

Bohemian was deprived of their seat.

Not by Inazuma, 4th place, but by Gaon, 5th place.

There is no luck in the Colosseum.

Yes, Gaon was only lucky.

Gyver believed so.

So when the predator zone appeared as a rupture.

He expressed his overflowing confidence.

Not only Gaon, but also the Union!

Just like Bohemian, big and small guilds were supported by the EU. Since it was a rupture in their home ground, Europe. Gyver had to use all his cards carefully.

Master. The mana is at the limit!

Supporter players located in the rear.

Gyver changed them like machine parts.

He let the players out of the rupture.

Team Two. Enter immediately.

A united front of dozens of guilds.

Thanks to sorting out high-level players there as well.

The level of substituted players didnt lag far behind.

There was enough support from the rear.

[Your level has gone up.]

With that full support.

Gyver and Bohemian guild members only focused on monster hunting.

Itd been a long time since he had such a sharp increase in experience points.

Its been a while since we were able to save face. Isnt that, Gyver?

Gyver nodded silently.

Yes, he could be conceited in this rupture.

Shining and Union.

Those two werent able to show overwhelming hunting speed like they were. Yeah, if they kept it up. Gaon wouldnt ever cross the rankings again

Lee Hoyeol has entered the rupture?

Wait, whos entered?

Lee Hoyeol!

Thump!

At that name, veins popped out between Gyvers forehead.

Just hearing that name made him tense up.

Because of him, Gaon took third place.

The good luck that followed Gaon.

Among them, the biggest luck was Lee Hoyeol.

Both in the Yusra Kingdom and in the struggle for Frost.

Gaon had benefited greatly from the alliance with Lee Hoyeol.

And so were the Berserkers.

Since their guild ranking only came and went in the top 10.

They werent worth being considered as a competitor yet.

But Berserker was also a guild supported by the EU.

Because Britain, Second Sun is no longer part of the European Union.

In the EU, that guild also occupied the position of the second best after Bohemian. Therefore, Gyver couldnt help but feel sensitive at Lee Hoyeols arrival.

What did he feel lacking that made him enter this rupture?

Even if it was the predator zone.

This rupture would be too easy for Lee Hoyeol.

He must have another purpose.

What could it be?

If not, what if it was related to another guild?

Maybe Gaon or Berserker.

Sweat.

At that moment, a bead of sweat formed on Gyvers forehead.

I must take responsibility for my remarks.

The fact that he received enormous support.

He had to produce results that matched it.

Gyver began to feel impatient.

Ill pick up the pace. Team 1 re-enters!

Team 1 probably hasnt finished recovering their mana yet.

I dont care. From now on, its a battle of speed.

Then a message appeared.

[Someone has signed a contract with a spirit.]

!

It was Lee Hoyeol.

His purpose was to sign a contract with a spirit.

For a moment, Gyver felt relieved.

He even knew that a spirit was here?

As expected of Lee Hoyeol.

However, Lee Hoyeols greatness was nothing new.

So Gyver focused on the message that followed.

Experience and drop rate increase buff.

Gyvers face was in a blaze.

My judgment to raise the tempo was right.

They had faster progress than any guild.

Thanks to this, Gyver was able to reach the center of the swamp.

And he witnessed it.

Its a gift from God.

A chance to win the jackpot!

At the center of the rupture, monsters were fighting each other.

The voice of the analysis team came to his ears.

From its appearance, its Ragged Giant. And the other one is expected to be Black Iron Eagle.

Information about the update history followed.

[Ragged Giant: Lv.600]

[Black Iron Eagle: Lv.600]

Named monsters with 600-level.

Those two monsters were fighting to the death.

The battle was as fierce as their level.

Both seemed to have suffered considerable damage.

Gyver licked his lips.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Yeah, this was a chance to hunt two named monsters.

In a normal situation, dealing with one of them would have been too much. They were focused on each other. If he looked for the opportunity, he would be able to hit them all at once.

But, before its taken away.

Now that drop rate and experience buff was enabled.

Other guilds would speed up like they were.

He couldnt miss such an opportunity before his eyes.

No. 1 in the paladin rankings.

The skill he acquired as a reward for the class quest.

[Blessing of the Crusader] was activated.

Claaang!

A golden glow began to radiate from Gyver.

Gyver shouted.

Gather around me. Charge.

Offensive and defensive buffs for nearby allies.

A skill that caused constant damage to the enemy.

As a reward for class quests, the effect of the skill was outstanding.

Oh! This is Gyver-ssis skill!

Its very effective.

As expected, hes not a ranker for no reason.

The resulting morale boost effect was a bonus.

Swoosh!

At Gyvers command.

Arrows and attack skills rained down.

Players charged with Gyver in the lead.

Ill deal with the Ragged Giant first!

He took advantage of the Black Iron Eagles bite and aimed for its back.

Flap!

?!

However, that plan was ruined by the flapping of the black eagles wings.

The black eagle that flew into the air changed its direction.

It aimed at supporters in the back.

Gyvers mind went blank.

What the hell is this?

Those monsters who were fighting as if they were going to kill each other until just now.

They went to attack them in an instant.

Damn it!

Gyver shouted hastily.

Everyone, get back! Protect the rear!

He quickly ran away.

The momentum of the charge was nowhere to be found.

Damn it, there was no other disgrace like this.

Gyver clenched his teeth.

I admit that I was too rash.

But his judgment wasnt wrong.

Wasnt this pattern too much?

This was a trap.

It was a clever trap that anyone couldnt help but get caught in!!

*

Wow, they were fighting like hell.

It was true that monsters fought against each other even when there were no players in the predator zone. They were really fighting to kill each other, werent they?

With a lofty gaze.

The nymph, who was watching them, opened her mouth.

What should I do? Hoyeol-nim.

Spirits basically didnt like fighting.

However, contract spirit was different.

Regardless of the terms of the contract, the spirits were affected by the nature of the contractor. In other words, the nymphs quick grasp of the situation was due to my influence.

Lets see.

On the lotus leaf floating in the swamp.

I watched that battle.

Were close to the center of the swamp.

According to the nymph.

There were more and more battles going on in the center.

It was because the loot was at the center.

As proof of that, they started grabbing each other by the throat from here on out.

Players were trailing behind.

Monsters were in the midst of their own struggle.

To be honest.

I wanted to break into that battle.

Because both monsters were out of energy.

Both experience points and loot.

I wanted to have them through the easy way.

Its not taking the easy way, its just a common-sense decision.

To be honest, who could turn a blind eye to such an opportunity?

But as crazy as that battle.

I was also crazy in a different way.

I told the nymph.

Its a battle for each others pride.

Yeah, Im crazy about pride!

To prove ones strength, to win loot.

Monsters flocked to the predator zone.

Granfels pride regarded that action as justified.

In addition.

Its against my pride to break into that struggle.

Taking advantage of that and aiming for the back of their head?

Again, if it wasnt something to be prideful about.

I could never take the easy way.

The nymph bowed gracefully.

As expected, thats what you meant. I will keep that in mind.

Please dont make such an enlightened expression.

The plea that echoed in my heart was also fleeting.

I let go of my regrets.

To be honest, I dont have the confidence to hunt.

Actually, I didnt even have the energy to walk the easy way.

Most of all, the amount of mana drained by the contract with the nymph was a burden.

Since a contract was signed, the nymph would play an active part in the battle, but it was unclear how much help she would be.

Because Ive never seen a spirit.

I had confirmed only one ability of the spirit nymph.

The blessing that stimulated the growth of the four-colored mistletoe.

In fact, with the contract with the nymph, that alone was a tremendous achievement.

Well, because I got the idea of How to Grow Bi-Herb from there.

But I didnt mean to be satisfied with that alone.

At that moment, I had witnessed it.

Completely different from [skill] and magic.

Spirits {nature} abilities!

It was also specified in books related to spiritology.

I dont know about other mages, but for me.

What those words meant was simple.

It meant that the number of quirks I could use had increased.

I had seen the potential of the oddity in the last rupture.

A piece of rupture that couldnt be pierced with just magic.

That magic was also no ordinary magic.

In terms of destructive power, it was Banglets pure power that could be counted on one hand even in the Mage Tower.

Even Banglets magic couldnt break through a rupture like that.

It was pierced with [oddity], a combination of [aesthetic] and magic.

It could be [{oddity}] or {oddity}.

To put it simply.

It also meant that {nature}  had become a hole to live in, a well I could dig.

A well that didnt wither easily!

Its like the eye of the storm.

The useless thoughts ended there.

I nodded at the nymphs words.

The word leisure suited my figure.

The closer I got to the center, the loot.

The more I saw monsters fighting to death. Since they were fighting each other, a low-level player like me probably wasnt worth worrying about.

I was rather grateful.

The loot is just as important as the level.

Above all, I needed to check.

The predator zone.

Calling the predators.

What was the loot that attracted named monsters?

As if they were possessed by something.

Yeah, like having status abnormalities.

A loot that made them fight each other.

The probability that its a demons item isnt low.

Yeah.

If there was any possibility that a demon was involved.

Grandfels pride wouldnt leave it alone.

I really go out and live a tiring life.

Soon, I reached the center of the swamp.

I could see the players.

They seemed to have touched something wrong.

This could have been a disaster.

A zombie giant and an eagle as big as the giant.

I could see the players being helplessly attacked by the two monsters.

I could see what they were thinking.

It seems they put into practice the idea I only thought of.

As a result, I felt like I had gone through a lot.

It means I might have ended up like that.

Those players had colleagues.

I was alone.

I cant even fully enjoy the experience and drop rate buffs

Without any resistance whatsoever.

It would have felt like a trip to the underworld.

It meant I almost died only doing good things for other people.

Even if I tried to sweep my chest out in relief, it wasnt enough.

I spoke shamelessly.

The penalty for taking pride lightly is high.

The nymph nodded.

Thats right.

Then she looked at something and said.

That big rock is the loot that those who gather here long for. To be exact, something in that rock is attracting everyone.

I could understand it the moment I saw it.

Why had no one ever been able to claim the loot?

Because it was the predator zone where the battles never ended.

To each other.

They probably didnt give a chance to break the rock and claim the loot.

However.

Thats not a rock.

That premise was wrong.

Like I said, that wasnt a rock.

Its a seed.

Yes, the knowledge.

To be exact, the knowledge acquired by [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge].

It was telling me.

That was a plant seed, not a rock.

A seed?

Even though she was a low-ranking spirit, she was the spirit of the forest.

What if it was a seed of an existence that even the spirits of the forest didnt know about?
