Chapter 432: One Plus One (4)
It’s true that those who belonged to the Lucia Guild were not weak at all, but having witnessed the mighty power of the White Root, they had no choice but to be startled by the White Root’s current weakness.
After checking their surprised expressions, Brandon opened his mouth again.
“Obviously, the White Root alone came back to Earth just like the black liquid man came to the Earth. But it seems that the root became weak because it came in a hurry or because there were some restrictions on its movement.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
No one disputed Brandon’s reasoning because it fit the situation perfectly.
Guid leader Oliveira asked, “So what you mean is that even though the White Root has become weak, tit can still continue to appear like that without Juyoung Hong around?”
As if he expected such a question, Brandon replied firmly, “Yes, I think so. I think it is more important for us to discuss how to deal with Juyoung Hong after his return to the Earth because he will definitely be upset with us. No matter how strong Umberto is, he’s no more than a toothless tiger since he has lost all his subordinates.”
Everyone else agreed, then discussed various ways to deal with him and started moving quickly.
As Brandon said, their Plan A, which was to have the Myongjin Shelter completely destroyed, failed, so it was time for them to set up Plan B to deal with Juyoung Hong’s rage upon his return.

In the 10th Royal District.
“Ice Storm! Ice Punishment!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
Bang!
My attacks struck home on the Ancient Golem, but he didn’t care as if he suffered no damage at all.
[Seething Rage!]
Then he continued to counterattack me ruthlessly.
After I tanked through his attacks several times, I came to realize that he was not as strong as I thought even though he had such a huge build.
Of course, I knew my enormous defense power was also helpful in defending against his attack.
But there was a reason why I stepped back using Blink with zero cooldown instead of continuing to tank his attacks.
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
He poured numerous attacks on the place where I was just standing.
In fact, I was confronting not only the Ancient Golem, but also the Giant Bow, the ruler of the 5th Royal District. And I was also facing the Ancient Golem’s minions who lived in the Major, Regular and Rookie districts under him.
So I retreated a little before charging at him again. I quickly moved behind him and swung +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.
Clang! Clang!
Obviously, my main stat was intellect. Even so, I’ve never seen any opponent being able to block my +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s Sword until now. I’ve always heard the sound of “Puck!” when it pierced through my opponent’s body. Of course, it didn’t mean that my sword normally perfectly beat back my opponent’s attack. But it typically managed to pierce through my opponent almost 70%, so I was not satisfied with this result. But I could not afford to regret it because of the golem’s merciless counterattack. So I had no choice but to retreat using Blink with zero cooldown.
[You irritating rat!]
Apparently, he was pretty upset by my provocations. I could no longer see any of his initial dignity. So I treated him the same way he treated me.
“Aren’t I too big to be called a rat? And don’t you think you’ve too many guys around you when I’m alone here?”
When I examined him closely, I discovered it was not true that he had suffered only trivial damage. Obviously, the stones that made up his body still shined brightly. But the lights were slightly weaker than when he used Incarnation at first. In other words, he had sustained damage.
And I thought that was enough because it convinced me that I could defeat him. Besides, I had yet to use my limited skill Savant for a decisive fatal blow to him.
***
In the 10th Royal District.
“Pouring Hail!”
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
I used my AOE skills as soon as their cooldown returned, regardless of their type. At the same time, I used Blink with zero cooldown.
Shuuuuuuuung-
Of course, I appeared behind the Ancient Golem. Then I wielded the +8 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword in my right hand.
“Multiple Ice Arrows!”
I also used my single-target skills.
Clang! Clang!
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
The Ancient Golent got hit repeatedly.
Shuuuuuuuuuuuung-
Then I stepped back again as part of my hit and run guerrilla tactics.
At first, I thought that the limitation of fighting within 10 metres of the Ancient Golem was very restrictive.
But it was like a circle with a diameter of 20 meters, which was enough for me to fight back and forth.
Of course, there was one thing that bothered me while I was attacking him.
In other words, I was also suffering damage from their attacks.
Among their attacks was one that caught my eye. It was none other than the attack by the Giant Bow, the ruler of the 5th Royal District.
Compared with other district rulers, the 5th Royal District ruler’s single-target attack was much more powerful than other rulers’ dozens or hundreds of attacks.
Currently, I had no choice but to let myself get hit by the attacks of the minions here.
Even though my power was much stronger than before, I could not pay attention to all other attacks while I was confronting the Ancient Golem with my current control capabilities. So I changed my fighting tactic by focusing on avoiding the attacks of the Giant Bow, the 5th Royal District Ruler, and allowing the numerous attacks of the other guys under his control.
[Kheeeeek! You irritating rat!]
Anyway, I continued to fight while angering the Ancient Golem endlessly.
By now I could see clearly that the shiny stones comprising his figure had definitely lost a lot of their lustre.
It meant that I could defeat him quite soon.
Another 30 minutes passed.
Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!
The angry Ancient Golem struck me hard, but I ignored it.
Obviously his attack was only second to that of the Giant Bow among all my opponents here, but I could easily endure his attack anyway.
Instead, I paid more attention to the Giant Bow, the ruler of the 5th Royal District
Or more precisely a man holding the huge bow.
In the end, it was that man, not the Giant Bow, the ruler of the 5th Royal District, that was fleeing from me.
Seeing that, I became convinced that my fight was almost over. I was now looking for the perfect time to end this fight.
Even though the Giant Bow launched a powerful attack against me like before, I knew it was weakening little by little. Of course I could be wrong, but I was patient enough until now, so I was confident I could kill him with one single strike.
As a matter of fact, I controlled the cooldowns of my long cooldown skills to deal a fatal attack on my opponent.
So, I opened my mouth quietly.
“Use Savant!”
[Currently, the most outstanding stat among physical strength, agility, stamina, willpower and intellect that Lumen, Asirante currently possesses is Intellect.
-Current Intellect: 103,237
-Intellect value is changed to 206,474 for 30 minutes.
– A 10-day cooldown is required when Savant’s retention time expires.]
“…”
My intellect immediately increased over a whopping 20,000, so I stopped admiring it after just 0..1 seconds because I had plenty of time to admire it after I got rid of the rulers of the 10th and 5th Royal Districts.
