Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 261: Excellent Bus Driver (2)

Wheeeeeeeeeeeng-

Puck! Puck! Puck!

An ice tornado whirled to the center of the monsters at the moment.

And the ensuing gust of wind gathered them in the center of the tornado.

So, I used a skill I didn’t use very much these days, though I used it a lot in the past.

“Ice Wave!”

It was definitely an AOE skill, but its striking range was not that wide.

But its damage was certainly great.

That’s why it played a very important role in me killing the Japanese users after going to Japan with the Mirae Guild. Moreover, this time, the crocodiles were gathered together because of the gust. It was the perfect scenario to use Ice Wave.

After that, I didn’t bother to use any other skills, and instead approached the monsters and wielded the +6 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword, for it was essential for me to use skills properly and manage their cooldowns when hunting continuously.

Puck! Puck!

The crocodiles tried to attack me tenaciously when I got close to them to attack with the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword. Some of their attacks were successful, but didn’t inflict any damage.

“Uh? Do they have rubber teeth?”

The monsters’ teeth were big and pointy, but my health and stamina were too high for me to avoid their attack for fear of damage.

Anyway, this was a hunting ground where I didn’t have to use any special skills.

So, I hunted as usual.

Behind Asirante.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Asirante told the players to just trust him and follow him.

Some thought he just paid lip service to boost their morale.

However, it didn’t take much time for them to realize that he was serious.

Furthermore, some dealers moved to help Asirante, but they were forced to return to their original positions because they realized quickly that just staying put in their positions and not getting in his way helped Asirante, just like they quickly realized Asirante was serious when he asked them to follow him arduously.

Of course, they also had some work to do in the hunting ground.

They were supposed to collect the golden rings and several miscellaneous items dropped by the monsters that Asirante killed.

In particular, picking up coins was very important because it was now impossible to trade them, or more precisely, it required one million golden rings to trade for only one coin. As a result, the ownership of the coins depended on who picked up the coins.

However, there was no trouble among the players because it was the Myongjin Guild that included Asirante, and the Mirae and Tugal guilds were not greedy about the coins, saying they contributed little in the fight.

Nonetheless, Chairman Hong maintained an amicable atmosphere between the team by distributing the coins to Mirae and Tugal guilds appropriately instead of taking them all.

Anyway, the 19 players eagerly followed Asirante.

That night. Obviously, our target was the boss monster.

However, we failed to find the boss monster even after searching for it extensively.

However, we could not have all 19 players spread out in all directions because of the tremendous death penalty, so we had no choice but to log out that day after agreeing on a time to log in the next day.

After that, I had a late dinner with my family.

“Mom, why do you put meat on Juyoung’s plate only?”

Just like my sister protested, my mother stacked meat on my plate alone.

When my sister asked angrily, my mother answered as if it was obvious.

“Hey, you know Juyoung did most of the hunting today. So, he has to eat more meat than anybody else here.”

“Mom? What are you talking about? It’s only natural. If I had the same power as Juyoung, I would do the same!”

“Well, don’t talk about it now. When you have the same abilities as Juyoung, tell me then. So, Juyoung, enjoy the meal with meat. Chew it well.”

“Gosh!”

Anyway, I had a happy dinner with mom and sister talking about my performance.

After that, I reconnected to ‘Revival Legend,’ for I didn’t feel tired because the hunting ground was only level 1300 and not too difficult for me.

So, I was thinking of hunting for at least 1-2 hours more before sleeping.

Five days passed.

The level 1300 hunting ground was very vast. However, 5 days was obviously a long time, during which I searched every nook and cranny of the hunting ground for the boss monster. But I could not find it.

So, I realized something.

“It looks like the boss monster doesn’t always reside here like other hunting grounds, but it seems to appear at a fixed time.”

In general, this was the case in most hunting grounds where boss monsters appeared.

When I first accessed “Revival Legend” and encountered a boss monster, a team dedicated to hunting the boss monster appeared immediately, saying I should not be greedy because they would take care of the boss monster.

“Then what should we do? Shall we move to another hunting ground?”

One of the players asked me because my father handed over the team’s leadership to me.

But I didn’t answer right away, for I steadily went in and out of this place that was no threat to me even after the fixed hunting time agreed on by the party. And I was not foolish enough to use this level 1300 hunting ground alone.

I entered the level 1400 hunting ground and tried to hunt alone there as well.

After that, I concluded that even the level 1400 hunting ground was not a problem for me at all. Of course, it was based on my own judgment.

“Alright. For the time being, we’re going to hunt here. However, we will be going to the level 1400 hunting ground for 1-2 hours a day to get used to it.”

“Yeah!”

“Okay!”

After that, we moved again quickly, killing the crocodiles.

This one month period for which we had exclusive access to the hunting ground along with buffs was such a precious time during which we could widen the gap with others.

And after hunting arduously for a while, I soon came across the boss monster, which I could identify immediately because it was twice as large as the normal crocodile monsters and had the epithet, fierce crocodile boss.

“Everyone, step back!”

I ordered them to step back, for there was a reason that boss monsters were called boss monsters.

In fact, I previously had a one-on-one battle against the boss monster called ‘Long-Rooted Ancient Tree’, and in the end, I could get rid of the monster only with the help of the Sungchang Guild which was famous at that time.

Of course, I wasn’t even at level 300 at that time, and I have grown tremendously since then.

However, the hunting ground at that time was only level 400, but right now it’s level 1300.

So, the boss monsters that appeared then and now were very different.

At that moment, somebody messaged me.

[One Son Two Daughters: Son, don’t worry because mom is behind you. If your health drops, I will heal you right away.]

[Lumen: Okay.]

After answering my mother’s message briefly, I charged at the boss monster first because I was so curious about whether the level 1300 boss monster could withstand my attack.

I even wished the boss monster could counterattack me, so we could engage in a fierce battle.

Of course, I was convinced I would win at the end of the day.
