Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 200: The Beginning of Confusion (2)

Anyway, I didn’t really feel the need to upgrade Ice Shield and Ice Prisonfor now, but I wanted to upgrade level 5 Ice Field and level 4 Ice Storm to level 7.

But I needed skill points for this.

However, I used up all my skill points to obtain Blizzard, so I could not do anything about it.

But I had another option. I could delete a skill. And I had one saved for this purpose. It was level 5 Ice Rain.

Ice Rain required three skill points to obtain, and it could only stay at level 5. On the surface, it was not a very attractive skill, but I felt quite satisfied after using it myself. It was an AOE skill, but since it was level 5, it had a short cooldown, and it was quite powerful for its level, so I could understand why it needed three skill points.

That’s why I thought it wasn’t bad to keep it, given its short cooldown.

‘Hmm.’

But I soon made my decision because I couldn’t ponder over it forever. I decided I would keep it for now, but if I felt it was inadequate or needed a change, I would replace it then.

The next day I went to the Giant’s Grave to hunt, as usual.

Although my first encounter with the herding team members was not good, I thought we were familiar enough by now, so I briefly exchanged greetings with them and started hunting. “Blink.”

Like usual, I penetrated into the group of giant monsters herded by the Mirae teams, then used my standard skills Ice Field and Multiple Thin Ice to begin the hunt.

But after that, I used a new skill for the first time.

It was none other than level 9 Blizzard, which I newly registered in my functional skill ring after removing Ice Wave from it yesterday.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

Of course, this was not the first time I was seeing a powerful blizzard, but it was my first time seeing one like this in “Revival Legend,”. It;s range was far wider than any other AOE skill.

And the blizzard has powerful wind gusts with stormy elements beyond a normal blizzard.

Obviously, I received buffs from the icy terrain generated by Ice Field reinforced with Multiple Thin Ice, as well as the +4 Sacred Permanent Snow Spirit accessory set, so it was no surprise that my Blizzard annihilated all the monsters in the surroundings.

Of course, just like typical monsters, the giant monsters tried to endure my Blizzard instead of moving outside its range, but it was true that I got rid of all of them with one single stroke.

And it was not me alone who was watching this magnificent scene.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Team No. 1, whose members were on standby to herd the giant monsters for me again as soon as I was done, were motionless, with their eyes open wide. But I didn’t care about them.

That’s why I bravely used level 9 Blizzard without any hesitation.

But I didn’t know that Blizzard would be so powerful.

But I couldn’t stay satisfied with that because level 9 Blizzard level had a long cooldown that I had never seen before.

At the Mirae Guild’s headquarters.

“Obviously, it is Blizzard, but it’s so different from Blizzard I know.”

“…”

“…”

No one responded to Chairman Yon’s statement.

Like he said, what Asirante used was definitely Blizzard, but it was clearly different from the Blizzard that they were used to. The difference in power was like night and day, not to mention its size and striking range.

“Okay. Let’s assume that Asirante, who possesses a myth-class weapon, also has a functional skill accessory treated as a myth grade. But even then, can his Blizzard be that powerful?”

Unfortunately, the Mirae Guild didn’t have functional skill accessories.

So, they could not test it, but in Chairman Yon’s eyes, it still seemed impossible.

“Whew! This guy is really monstrous!” Yon said.

“…”

“…”

Again, those who participated in the meeting did not refute him because Asirante really looked like a monster in the hunting ground.

So, those in the conference room remained silent while watching the video replayed through the Memory Beads.

Three days later, I still continued to concentrate on hunting because that kind of big day where I acquired new skills was very rare. Besides, there were only 20 days left.

But on that day, I felt that something unusual happened within the Mirae Guild.

I did not see Director Yu, who appeared on the hunting ground on and off, all day long.

The GIant’s Grave was a fairly large hunting ground, so they only gave me a certain area to hunt in. In the other areas, the Mirae Guild members were always busy hunting. However, I noticed some of the best hunting spots were empty.

So, I immediately realized that the Mirae Guild had finally produced a level 1200 player because the Myongjin Guild had also produced one yesterday.

In other words, considering Mirae’s reputation, it wasn’t strange at all that they produced such a high level player now although they started ‘Revival Legend’ later than Myongjin, Daesung, Kusan, and Daeyu.

So, while hunting, I messaged Director Sok right away.

[Insu Sok: Yes, young master.]

[Lumen: It seems that the Mirae has also produced a level 1200 player, too. I think I can start.]

[Insu Sok: Got it.]

Even before that, the Mirae Guild was friendly to the Myongjin Guild.

And they have acted far more friendly since the Daesung and the Kusan Guilds joined forces.

Of course, that did not mean that I benefited a lot from Mirae, but it was true that I received lots of help from them indirectly.

So I suggested to my father, brother, sister, and Director Sok that we inform Mirae about the level 1200 privilege because its intelligence value would be zero considering that Mirae would soon produce a level 1200 player.

So I thought the best time to tell them about it was right now.

Of course, informing Mirae about the level 1200 privilege at this moment had zero value to them. Nonetheless, just telling them about it would seem like we were giving them information of huge value. Anyway, I just immersed myself into hunting as if it didn’t concern me.

That evening Chairman Yon met Myongjin Group’s Chairman Sangman Hong at one of the hotels affiliated with his company in response to the latter’s request for a meeting.

Yon hoped deep down that Myongjin would not only join hands with Mirae, but also come under Mirae’s wing. Of course, he didn’t have any high expectations for this because there was no reason for Myongjin to do so right now.

However, since Daesung and Kusan formed an alliance, Chairman Yon felt it was necessary to keep aligned with Myongjin, so he welcomed Chairman Hong with open hands.

Then, they cut to the chase. Chairman Hong told him about the level 1200 privilege.

Although Chairman Yon was smiling at him after hearing about it, he was crying deep down because he already knew about it.

But he could not express it to Chairman Hong at all, for if he told Hong who gave him such terrific intelligence without anything in return that he already knew about it, he might give the impression that Mirae was keeping secrets from Myongjin.

Besides, it was doubtful that Hong would believe him if he said that he had only come to learn of it one day ago

“Oh my God… this is ridiculous…” Yon said as if he was hearing this for the first time.

As a matter of fact, he was in a situation where he had to act in front of Hong.

Now, it seemed that all of the time and efforts that Mirae invested to recruit Myongjin would come to waste considering that Myongjin had just “revealed” the information about the level 1200 privielge to them. Now it seemed that Mirae was now in debt to Myongjin instead. Chairman Yon was so frustrated that he wanted to cry. He felt it was so unfair and ridiculous.

However, he was the head of the Mirae Group for a reason. He pretended to be very surprised by Chairman’s Hong’s mention of the level 1200 privilege as if he knew nothing about it.

While the two chairmen were having a conversation, something unusual was taking place near the Taj Mahal, India.
