Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 136
Advertisement
[The power of the monster that resembles Kali increases depending on her feelings of resentment and vengeance right before she was offered up as a sacrifice.
-The value of her resentment and vengeance is displayed from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100.
-Kali's resentment and vengeance before being a sacrifice was 3.7.
-Kali has become 3.7 times stronger.]
"..."
"..."
"..."
The message was not that long, but there was nobody here who was stupid enough not to understand what the message meant.
In other words, if somebody else, not Bora, had been forcibly offered up as a sacrifice against their will to get through Round 32, a monster that was up to 100 times as strong as them could have emerged.
Thanks to the 30% combat power buff I received for this event, I could show off my increased strength that was different from before.
Given that the majority here were over level 1000, I would have been knocked down without even resisting if a monster with the appearance of somebody of level 1000 appeared with a high feeling of resentment. In such a situation, even a monster that was even 50 times stronger than before would pose a tremendous threat.
For example, if only 10 wasps attacked bee nests where 10,000 to 30,000 bees live, they could still annihilate all of the bees easily.
Anyway, Bora appeared as a monster that was only 3.7 times stronger than before.
Watching her, I muttered to myself, "Compared to the maximum 100 vengeance value, 3.7 doesn't look so big. BUt even considering that, I guess you didn't want to volunteer as the offering completely."
"..."
"..."
Unfortunately, no one responded to me. Of course, I didn't expect them to.
So, I stepped back because it was Mirae's turn to deal with Bora.
Moreover, Mirae still had 14 members, so they had no problem in dealing with the monster that was 3.7 times stronger than before. So, the Daeyu members led by me along with the Daesung and Kusan alliance members all stepped. The Myongjin members stepped back as well, and the Mirae members were left to confront Bora who appeared as a monster.
Even though the monster resembling Bora was much stronger than they thought, as expected, it still fell and the altar that appeared along with it broke down automatically, finally signaling the end of Round 68.

At that moment, Daesung Chairman Junghan Kim said loudly enough to reach everybody, "We all definitely owe it to Mirae. Maybe it is possible for Korea to rise to a higher ranking than expected. A country that didn't anticipate there would be such a trap as this might have decided on their sacrifices easily by using force."
When Chairman Kim said that, everyone's eyes turned to Mirae's Chairman Junghwan Yon because it was absolutely Bora's sacrifice that made them get through Round 68 without any difficulty.
Anyway, they finished Round 68, which could potentially have been very tough, successfully, and a message rang.
[Congratulations on clearing Round 68!
-Starting from Round 69, far more powerful monsters will appear.]
The same message that appeared in Round 50 rang again, and there was a marked increase in difficulty.
Even the 29-member Myongjin & Mirae Alliance barely survived the monsters' attack. So much so that they also needed my support.
Everyone could predict such a situation, but all of them hesitated.
Actually the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance and the Daesung & Kusan Alliance were uncomfortable toward each other enough to feel reluctant to help each other out when they were in a dangerous situation.
At that moment, Mirae's Chairman Yon, who was watching the situation quietly, said, "Isn't it about time for us to fight together as one team instead of fighting using this rotation system? We all have survived up to this round, so we can't ruin our ranking because of our petty emotional dispute, right?"
Everyone nodded slightly at his remarks. Besides, Chairman Yon was the only one who could clear up this awkward atmosphere
Of course, Daesung Chairman Kim's words earlier influenced them too. Just a little while ago, he said they all owed a lot to Mirae.
Anyway, the Mirae Group users who gave the Daesung users a dirty look relented a bit at Kim's words, and Yon's remarks indicated that he would not care about the things of the past.
And all 59 users of the three teams agreed to join hands together to finish the event as well as possible to the end. But I couldn't help but feel bitter because I could not make use of the turn of the Daesung & Kusan Alliance to make as much individual contribution as possible.
At that moment, Chairman Yon said, looking at me, "Asirante, I hope you can contribute as much as you can just like before. I hope you are not exhausted already."

Having heard his remarks that satisfied me, I said with a gentle smile on my lips, "Of course, I'm not. I haven't yet warmed up."
Now, the 59 members squad began Round 69 in an atmosphere that was not cold anymore like before.
While the three teams in Region 53 (Korea) were working together in Round 69, what Chairman Kim said earlier was happening everywhere for different regions in Ludon's arena. And among them were Japan, China, the UK, and Brazil, which had considerable influence in the "Revival Legend" and aimed for the top 10 rankings in this event.
In other words, the leaders of those countries selected their sacrifices through authority and force instead of considerations, concession and compromise.
At the very least, they should have offered appropriate rewards to those who would be sacrificed. But they didn't because they misjudged that there were no repercussions.
After all, in Round 69, they were all annihilated by none other than those offered up as sacrifices who were judged as useless. As a result, they had to pay the costly price for their misjudgement. Of course, many countries were eliminated even before they had the chance to offer a sacrifice to the altar.
It was now Round 77. Those who survived until this round could still continue to fight.
But at the same time, some of them finally began to fall out, exhausted.
Moreover, they seemed to get tired more easily because they didn't know how many countries survived and which countries they had left to compete with.
Of course, they couldn't give up, so the leaders of each team pulled out those members who were exhausted and let them take rest, with the rest of the members all doing their best to defend the Tower of Glory as best as they could.
In my case, I blocked the monsters at the front.
When the round first began, there were some who gave me a disgusted look because I could deal with the monsters alone even when the 59 users of the three teams ended their rotation and moved together.
However, as the rounds progressed, monsters that were far more powerful than the previous rounds emerged, and starting from Round 70, the monsters were extremely formidable appeared as if to signal that it would be impossible to advance beyond that round.
Honestly, I could not afford to pay attention to my contribution because even I found it hard to deal with the monsters right before my eyes.
However, these users, who used to give me a disgruntled glance, now cheered for me and encouraged me by giving me space so I could attack the monsters easily. It was natural that they felt disgusted at my selfish behavior, but now there were only a few who still thought so.
Anyway, this kind of situation was also what I wanted.
So, I steadily hunted and reduced the monsters by moving around here and there, not caring about their glances at all. While I was absorbed into blocking the monsters in Round 77, a message rang.
[Congratulations! There are currently 10 regions surviving.
-Differential rewards will be given to each region in the order of elimination from now on.]
"Oh!"
"Wow!"
"We've finally ranked 10th at least!"
Finally Region 53 (Korea) was included in the top 10 rankings.
Only then did the 59 members become very joyous.
Then a pretty loud voice was heard from one side.
Chairman Yon shouted, "You all must have heard the message! But our goal is not just 10th place of the top 10 rankings. As you clearly heard, our rewards are based on our final results. So, work hard a little more!"
"Sure!"
"Okay!"
Since Chairman Yon's presence was recognized by everybody, not only the users of Mirae but also those of Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan and Daeyu loudly responded to his call for their last push.
As if they thought Mirae had taken control of the teams clearly, the chairmen of Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu didn't say anything.
Anyway, highly encouraged by the message that only ten regions remained, they blocked the monsters in Round 78, 79, 80, and up to Round 83 perfectly. Of course, I played a pivotal role in helping them advance there.
Unfortunately, no other message rang after the message that there were only ten regions left, such as one that nine or eight regions were left.
But I wasn't worried because there was nothing in the message that announced how many regions would be left whenever any one region failed. Nowhere was there a message telling me how many zones were left whenever a zone failed.
