Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 337
Advertisement
At first, Chairman Ryu Sechi thought that Juyoung's actions were just meaningless.
Actually, it was so in his eyes.
However, the four enemies appeared before Juyoung.
The chairman couldn't help but wonder if Juyoung approached them knowingly or encountered them by chance.
Nobody answered his question, but he didn't press them for an answer.
The chairman didn't even bother to expect their answer, for they probably really thought Juyoung encountered them accidentally.
Now the chairman and his deputies focused on what seemed like a conversation between Juyoung and the four enemies.
In the past, the chairman used every means possible to talk with them, but all he heard from them were curses like 'I'll kill you and destroy everything!'
Inside Dotonbori, Osaka.
Clearly, I could get my message across to them, but I was skeptical about whether I could really converse with them.
When I saw them in the video given by the US Holdridge Group and the video about the Osaka destruction, they were pretty angry, armed with the instinct to destroy everything.
I wanted to get even a small clue from them, and finally I managed to talk to the guy right in front of me. When he responded, I got closer to him.
"Oh, did you mention aura? Nice to hear that anyway. By the way, I would like to talk with you over a cup of tea," I said.
Aura did not necessarily mean something good, but it didn't necessarily mean something bad either, so I tried to speak to him.
But the guy reacted angrily, though.
He shouted to his subordinates, "Shit! Just think you guys are going to die here. We will never compromise with the enemy who has come to take away our possessions!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Understood!"
They didn't seem to have any intention of talking with me.
But I quickly said a few more words, "Hey. I have never taken anything from you, and I have no intention of taking anything from you now. So let's have a conversation."

"Don't lie! You have already started invading us! Soar, Indomitable Will!"
"Penetrate into the enemy, Weaken Fighting Spirit!"
"Come here and bring hell to your enemy, Traitor's Land!"
[You currently have 'All Buffs, All Debuffs.'
-You are not affected by Weaken Fighting Spirit.]
[You currently have 'All Buffs, All Debuffs.'
-You have been designated as the target of the special skill, Traitor's Land, but it won't take any effect.]
"…"
"…"
But their attack was just useless.
The two guys who used the debuffs of Weaken Fighting Spirit and Traitor's Land, which were totally new to me, made a bewildered expression because they failed even before the scope of the skill's effect was determined by their willpower.
However, the tall guy, who appeared to be their leader and tank, shouted out loudly instead of being startled as if he already predicted it.
"Upgrade the enemy before you to them in your mind! In other words, just stop thinking about surviving here! Only then can you have a 0.01% chance of survival!"
"Got it!"
"Understood!"
It seemed that I had to put off talking with them until later.
And I seemed to know who should be my first target.
It was none other than the tall guy.
I thought I had to kill or separate him first in order to converse with the other guys.
So I opened my mouth softly towards the man.
"Ice Punishment!"
Thud!
"Kheeeeeeek!"
Did I use a low-level skill? Or did I use the +7 Enhancement Ice Emperor's guardian sword? I had no intention of using it.
I could get rid of him easily, and I didn't want to drag on the fight. In that case, it was best to kill him right away with my fatal weapon. Of course, Ice Punishment was not a fatal weapon per se, but I used it anyway.
Flop!
The tall man fell when he couldn't stand my attack with Ice Punishment.
However, not the leader, who was a tank, but the man holding a one-handed sword standing behind him fell down. Of course, it was possible that I accidentally used Ice Punishment on the man holding a one-handed sword rather than the tank, or the one-handed swordsman was hit on behalf of his boss.

But my Ice Punishment struck the tank. That's why he screamed in pain.
However, no matter how closely I scrutinised him, he suffered little damage or showed other signs other than his screaming.
"Hmm… did he use Damage Share or Damage Link?"
In the past, I often received the effect of a buff skill called skill cooldown link.
It was a buff skill in which the casting party took a certain portion of my skill cooldowns. I felt that if we applied the skill cooldown to damage instead, it fit the current situation. And I thought my assumption was right, given their reaction.
"Shit! Damage transfer..."
"Damn it. He collapsed at one single strike!"
"I've never seen such a strong guy!"
They were neither shocked nor sad to see the fallen guy disappearing without any trace, but just expressed their astonishment. Of course, I was not surprised by the disappearing body, for I already confirmed it in the video offered by the Holdridge Group in America.
My only concern was that there were now only three left, and two of them seemed to be connected with the tank through damage transfer.
If the final survivor was the tank, I didn't think he would cooperate.
So, I asked them one question while they were still at a loss what to do.
Actually, I was most curious about it.
"Revival Legend. If you just tell me about it, I will spare you."
Of course, I had no intention of sparing them, contrary to what I said.
Even though they always argued that we invaded their territory, adding they would make us pay the dear price for our invasion, it was actually they who invaded us and the Earth.
***
In Dotonbori, Osaka.
"…"
"…"
"…"
The remaining three didn't respond to my question about 'Revival Legend.'
But I didn't really push them hard.
At that moment, they started attacking me all of a sudden.
"Iron Wall!"
"Die! Fang of Destruction!"
"Penetrate through everything in front of me. Power Shot!"
The leader who was the tank raised a large shield in front of him, and the other two behind him attacked me.
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
Of course, I was confident in defending against their attacks, not to mention I could dodge it if I wanted to.
But I didn't take any action, so they attacked me freely.
Did I suffer lots of damage?
Of course, I did, but the damage was negligible.
I had not only an 85% reality actualization rate, but I was also wearing the item I equipped in 'Revival Legend' in reality. And this inevitably created an incomparably huge gap between my power and that of others.
Just as a functional skill ring required 100,000 coins to be actualized in reality, it would require hundreds of thousands of coins to actualize legendary-grade items in reality. Besides, it would require much more coins to take into account the enhancement values of these items.
Of course, there were few who had so many coins like that. Even if there were some who had such a huge number of coins, it would be impossible for them to invest in reality actualization rate, given their stats and skills.
In any case, I approached and spoke to them again without changing any facial expression. "You guys are saying you are a victim because you have been invaded. Then am I an assailant? Don't you know I'm willing to listen to you? Why are you refusing to speak to me? What's the use of your mouth when you don't want to say anything?"
Again, what I heard from them was not what I wanted to hear.
"Don't make fun of us!"
