Closed Beta I Played Alone

260. despair? end?

Since there was no need to delay after making the decision, I was able to start from Myeongjin Shelter and go through the Philippines, Indonesia and East Timor to reach the Tiwi Islands, one of the northernmost islands in Australia.

And already there.

“Did you hear me? That land of despair has already reached ‘Dali Waters’.”

"what! So you're saying it's not too far from here?"

"right. Three or four days in terms of distance? No, it will be faster than that, considering that the speed of expanding the area gets faster.”

"Damn it! So, shouldn't we get out of here right away?"

“It’s so crazy right now. First of all, at least I came to this island from the mainland of Australia, and that land of despair means crossing the sea... it's not safe here either."

“By the way, the land of despair means that if you cross the sea, the entire earth will eventually be covered with the land of despair.”

“……”

“……”

“……”

“Chip. Isn't this really the end of humanity? Those who have raised the realization rate only lose their fighting power, but the common people say that the moment they set foot on the land of despair, they die immediately... If you wrap the entire planet, it's just a saying that all ordinary people will die.”

"Hey. If you don't know, don't tell me. What, those who raised the realization rate only decreased their fighting power? How much is the decrease in combat power? In other words, it is the land of despair that makes a very sick person. If you had 100 abilities, what would be 20? No, ten or five!”

woozy woozy.

wiggle wiggle.

However, since it is an island close to the mainland of Australia, there were many people who came from there, and the topic of all conversations was about the land of despair.

It's also very pessimistic.

And then.

“I was waiting. Hong Jooyoung.”

Someone came right behind me and opened his mouth.

Of course, I didn't panic because I already knew that someone was approaching me precisely.

I was just guessing who it was.

So, in a low voice, I opened my mouth naturally.

“Are you from the Carnabon Guild?”

"Yes."

A guild that fits within three fingers in Australia.

So, his father and the manager of Insoo Seok contacted him in advance.

Australia was the first place that the land of despair appeared, and it is absolutely not a bad choice to get help from a native to move around in Australia.

Rather, such a proposal was welcomed by the Carnabon Guild with open arms.

First of all, I followed the person who came out of the Carnabon Guild and was able to enter a building with strict boundaries soon.

But there was already someone with a familiar face sitting there.

Brandon became the guild leader of the Antaragos Information Guild instead of the Oliveira guild leader who died right at my hand.

“It is nice to see you again. Hong Jooyoung.”

“It seems that this task is not as simple as you think if you come here directly at this time when you are in the midst of being inaugurated as the new guild leader of the Antaragos Information Guild.”

Anyway, the Antaragos Information Guild has no choice but to acknowledge only one skill.

However, the fact that the guild leader came to this place not too long after he took office literally meant that this task was not light at all.

And as if my prediction was correct, Brandon answered with a gloomy expression.

"Yes. Because they're risking everything. Destroying a place to return to.”

"everything? Are you referring to the Kuhana where they live?”

There was no problem at all in understanding Brandon's words, as he had spent 36 days there, which is longer than anyone else's."Yes. Yes. the place where they lived. That kuhana is no longer there. No, to be exact, it is collapsing and being destroyed. As much as that, the land of disasters that have taken root on the earth will continue to expand. Until it covers the entire planet.”

“Does that mean… after all, the sea can’t stop it?”

"Yes."

“……”

Perhaps if someone had said something like this, he would have been a little skeptical.

But it was the Antaragos Information Guild.

Moreover, in a few days, the land of despair will take over the entire Australian mainland.

In other words, the Antaragos Information Guild wasn't stupid enough to tell me lies in a few days.

Of course, that wasn't a problem for me at all.

Because ‘all buffs, all debuffs’ existed for me.

Moreover, he had enough mana all day, no, even if he used fly for the rest of his life.

But it was the placenta who did not.

No, except for me, everyone had no choice but to be tied to the ground of despair.

Those who failed to raise the realization rate by reaching level 1200 will die immediately the moment they set foot on the land of despair.

Then I realized that the problem was much more serious than I expected.

In the end, I thought that encroaching on the land was similar to the black liquid human, the owner of the 4th Royal Sector that appeared in Argentina, but it's not that much of a problem, it's because Kuhanara is an almost Earth-level problem.

First of all, we talked about this and that for about 30 minutes after that.

The information brought from the Antaragos Information Guild is also information, but the information that the Carnabon Guild, one of Australia's three largest guilds, has acquired through the body was not insignificant.

After a while.

In the Tiwi Islands, using Fly, he continued moving south with a zero cooldown Blink.

And after a while, I was able to face the red and black waves that spread so wide that I could not see the end.

On the one hand, Janggwang itself.

However.

“Ugh. Sa... Save me!”

"Damn it! This is... what is this!”

"please. Hold my hand!”

Exodus (Great Escape) from Australia has already begun.

However, not everyone could be the target of the great escape.

Especially if it's the general public.

There are people who see Australia as a continent, but if you look at the continent on a larger scale, it is clear that it is an island surrounded by sea on all sides.

Anyway, straight to the look.

“Ice Wave.”

Aaaaaaaaah!

First of all, my goal is to support the land of despair, but at the same time, I carried out an attack for those who escaped.

However, it did not stack 5.

It's not like I used the limited skill 'extraordinary'.

Because there are quite a few things to check.

It is true that those in front of me are also precious lives, but I certainly had many more important lives than that.

Of course, he said he had tried the Carnabon Guild.

The land of despair, which gradually expands its territory, is absolutely not something to watch.

There, the black liquid humans who appeared in Argentina also did similar things by spreading black liquid everywhere, but in the end, they succeeded in stopping the attack with the black liquid.

But he said it didn't work at all.

But I had to be different.

Even if there are no 5 stacks and ‘extraordinary’, the intellect has increased tremendously compared to before, and the weapon in my right hand now is the 15-enhanced Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword.

But.

[.......]

The land of despair did not change even a single one.

Meanwhile, ordinary people who set foot on the land of despair were swallowed up.

First of all, I waited a little for it.

Obviously, his intelligence has increased tremendously, and the Ice Emperor's Guardian Sword has also been strengthened by 15, so the cooldown and performance only for ice skills have improved, but nevertheless, a level 10 skill is not a level 10 skill for nothing.

In fact, in Kuhana, he showed off his power as the last attack that he would unleash on the rulers of the Royal District.

After that, Ice Breath's cooldown returns.

“Ice Field. and superimposed thin ice.”

Pasha Sasak.

The ice field and thin ice were laid first.

And right away I unfolded my strongest link.

"blizzard! Ice Tornado!”

puck. puck. bubbly bubbly. puck.

hee hee hee.

9th and 8th level wide-area skills.

But that wasn't the end of it, so he poured more attacks between the two wide-area skills.

“Retribution Ice! A window of frosty cold!”

Bang! bang!

Punishment Ice, which has been upgraded to level 9 this time, and a new level 8 skill, Frosty Cold Spear.

And finally, I used Ice Breath for 5 stacks to decorate the end.

Aww!

Except for the limited skill ‘Excellent’, an attack that poured everything I could to the best of my ability.

Apparently, unlike the rest of the skills, it had a cooldown of 10 days, so I had no choice but to save it because it was 'extraordinary'.

But even if there was no ‘extraordinary’, it had to be enormous.

If I had met the Black Liquid Human, the owner of the 4th Royal District, who attempted a similar attack, I would be able to remove the black liquid that was trying to swallow Argentina with a single shot.

However.

[.......]

Even if it was a single skill, the wide-area skill was still revealing its immense magnificence.

However, there was no damage to the land of despair.

pong. pong. pong. pong.

The Earth of Despair continued to expand its territory, spewing out like bubbles as if my attacks were okay.

"her..."

Perhaps even the slightest damage or even a centimeter of despair would have made you want to use 'Extraordinary'.

But I had to know intuitively.

Even if you use ‘extraordinary’, you still cannot stop the land of despair that expands in all directions.

But then.

[Chuck.]laughter was heard.

In the ground where the land of despair spreads out.

And as if I had not heard anything wrong, a man in the form of a human appeared from the ground and immediately spoke to me.

[ Hong Jooyoung. Your strength has been recognized by the owners of the Royal District. So the owners of the Royal Quarter decided to abandon everything. Sometimes you have to give up everything to get everything. So wait until this earth is completely covered with the land of despair and transforms into the second Kuhana. at that time

The owners of the Royal Sector will come to punish you.]

“Ice Wave.”

The first attack was fired at the enemy who was making noises.

However.

bang.

My attack struck the empty land, or more precisely, the land of despair.

By hiding in the depths of the lands of despair right away from my attack by the noisy enemy.

And there were still noises coming from the ground.

[Cuckoo. I am the advance squad that brought the seeds of despair here and germinated them. Until the land of despair is complete, this will serve as a nest, Hong Jooyoung, you don't know me, you can't ever kill us.]

The cry of the enemy filled with confidence.

Of course, I wanted to destroy that confidence.

But there was no answer.

Because my attack was useless in the face of the ever-expanding land of despair.

And at that time, the land of despair, which was still expanding, finally touched my left foot, and at that moment a message rang.

Of course, knowing that, he did not avoid it.

At first, I was confident that the land of despair wouldn't work for me, but honestly, now I don't know.

That is, confirmation was required.

[I have ‘All Buffs, All Debuffs’.

-It is located in the land of despair, but the effect does not occur.]

“……”

A land of despair that exerts greater power than expected.

However, in the end, it was blocked by 'all buffs, all debuffs'.

That said, it doesn't mean it's bigger than you think.

However, since the sacrifices made for the land of despair were sacrifices, it seemed impossible to destroy them.

That means, perhaps, that the Earth will end except for me.

Of course, he was confident he would win.

In any case, it was said that the only way the nest is maintained like this is now as the land of despair continues to expand.

However, if all mankind, including my family and those living in the Myeongjin Shelter, died and I was the only one left to win, that could not be a victory.

"her..."

Normally, I wouldn't show any sense of disappointment, but this time, a sense of disappointment enveloped my body, and it seemed that it made the enemy happy.

[Cuckoo. okay. Look at the land of despair and wait in despair. Until they come.]

Clearly a bleak situation.

But the first thing I wanted to do was to smash that guy's snout.

And then.

pooh.

Exactly, there was something that appeared through the land of despair.
