Chapter 795

Marquis Buko, who led the legion of the divine world, was in a very uncomfortable state. Thousands of humans appeared one day as if they had fallen from the sky. Numerous divine creatures and god tribe members rushed to kill them.

‘Useless things.’

The results were disastrous. Not a single human being was killed. Only those of the divine world were annihilated. As a result, a proper army was organized. It was the first time this had occurred apart from the war with the demon world.

‘The duke and the kings are out of their minds.’

Nevertheless, his pride remained, so Marquis Buko was appointed as the head of the army. He was dissatisfied that the gods above them didn’t step forward. Humans who appeared using an unknown method were wandering around the divine world, but the gods didn’t want to come out.

‘What is this sound?’

It happened at this moment.

Marquis Buko covered his ears and frowned at the sharp noise coming from the distance.

“My Lord, the moon is falling from the sky!!” the god tribe member next to Marquis Buko shouted with a startled expression.

“The moon is falling? What nonsense is this?!” Marquis Buko’s frown deepened, and he looked up.

‘It is real...?’

More than a dozen purple moons appeared in Marquis Buko’s vision. It was a very ominous sight. Marquis Buko trembled at the uncomfortable feeling coming from the purple moons.

“It is getting closer, My Lord! We have to respond!”

Marquis Buko issued orders with a frown, “Attack in moderation. It is probably the magic of those humans, so it can’t be that strong.” 

In line with the orders, the god tribe attacked the purple moons. In the air, the purple moons and the pure energies of the god tribe started to collide. Under the endless shower of pure energies, the purple moons started to burst one by one. However, the speed at which the moons approached the god tribe members was much faster than the speed at which they burst.

More than half the moons fell toward the heads of the god tribe. They struck the god tribe and started exploding. The members of the god tribe couldn’t even scream as they started disappearing like letters wiped with an eraser. Marquis Buko was no different. He blocked up to three purple moons. Then the purple moon that fell after was received with his body.

[Kill any living thing in the divine world 7,215/10,000.]

[Kill any living thing in the divine world 7,598/10,000.]

[Kill any living thing in the divine world 7,932/10,000.]

[The divine world’s marquis, ‘Buko’, has been defeated.]

[Experience has been acquired.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All health and magic power are restored.]

‘Good.’ Hyeonu smiled when he saw the pure energies exploding in the distance. It felt like the things that were blocked by a wall were now opened. His stopped level and the quest progress as well—both of them were raised in a single breath.

“Tang-E, show me once.” Hyeonu handed the baton to Tang-E.

He had played once, so it was time for Tang-E to play. It was a place to properly test the changes brought about by the fourth awakening.

“Understood, Master dude. I will show it properly,” Tang-E declared in a confident voice.

“Yes, show me,” Hyeonu said so, but in reality, he wasn’t expecting that much.

‘The proficiency is F. It would be stupid to have high expectations.’

Even if the newly acquired skills were unique and epic rated, it was absurd to compare them to the existing three skills that exceeded S rank.

‘Even so, it should be used at times like these to increase the proficiency sharply.’

The rank would rise well when the proficiency was low, but there was a way to increase it faster. Using the skill frequently or doing a lot of damage at once—this was the key to raising the skill proficiency of instantaneously activated skills.

Gom-E patted Tang-E’s shoulder and cheered for him, “Hyung-nim have strength!” 

Tang-E smiled at Gom-E’s behavior and immediately summoned a heart, calmly injecting magic power into it. There was sufficient distance from the god tribe. Furthermore, the god tribe was in a panic due to Hyeonu’s attack; they were unorganized and chaotic.

Purple energy was overflowing from Tang-E’s body. The magic power that couldn’t flow into the heart was leaking little by little. However, that too was quickly sucked into the heart.

The golden heart greedily devoured the magic power, leaving nothing behind. The heart was filled with a tremendous amount of magic power and started to vibrate slightly. At the same time, purple sparks were created.

“Watch carefully, Master dude...” Tang-E’s voice trailed off like it was difficult to even open his mouth.

“I understand. Don’t mind me too much. Just do what you have to do.” Hyeonu looked at Tang-E with a worried face.

Regardless of Hyeonu’s concerns, Tang-E slightly pushed the heart forward with a slightly flushed face. A single purple lighting bolt emerged from the purple heart and fell toward the heads of the god tribe. Then the sound of thunder followed. The god tribe started exploding from that time. Those who were struck by the lightning screamed, and those who were fortunate enough to be out of the range of influence quickly started to flee.

However, it was futile behavior. The purple lightning continued to pour out of Tang-E’s heart. Each flash was a lightning bolt falling one by one.

‘This much... It isn’t that bad?’ Hyeonu quickly analyzed how Tang-E’s magic was done. It wasn’t just the Chaos Domination skill that was used. He mixed in a bit of the Lightning skill too. It wasn’t much though; only the form was borrowed slightly. The rain of the purple lightning continued until Tang-E’s heart regained its golden color. The moment Tang-E’s heart turned golden, a number appeared in front of Hyeonu that was 300 points higher than the original.

[Kill any living thing in the divine world 8,232/10,000.]

“Well done, Tang-E.” Hyeonu stroked Tang-E’s head. This was enough. It was a satisfactory result.

“I would’ve killed more if I used the original skill. I think I should study more at home, Master dude. I’m sorry.” Tang-E had a sad expression on his face. He wasn’t satisfied with himself.

“No, it is enough. After a little bit more time... you will be a lot stronger than you are now,” Hyeonu said while making eye contact with Tang-E.

“Yes, Master dude. I understand. Even so, I will study at home. It is time to learn.” Tang-E nodded. He looked comforted by Hyeonu’s words.

“Then now... What do you want to do? Would you like to rest in the back?”

“Tang-E will fight as well. There is a lot of magic power left. I can fight.” Tang-E shook his head this time. He had no intention of resting in the back.

“Yes, let’s go together before you return to the back.” Hyeonu ran toward the god tribe without looking back. He stepped on the air and instantly narrowed the distance with the god tribe.

Tang-E grabbed Hyeonu’s head and shouted, “Let’s go, Master dude!”

In the northern part of the West Continent…

On an iceberg deep in the glacier zone, six players set in a circle around a small fire.

“Dear viewers, we have come to the glacier zone to uncover the anomalies of the north, a topic that has been heating up the Arena communities,” one of the six people said.

This man’s name was Kalen. He was the master of the Venom Guild and the main streamer of Venom, an emerging channel on World. The Venom Guild’s live stream had thousands of viewers. It was the result of guest-starring on the live streams of all types of guilds and making his face and name known.

-As expected, they move quickly because they are a small group of elites.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

-It is because their skills are good. They can go around as six people.

-By the way, the large guilds aren’t interested. Isn’t it because there is nothing?

-Why does that matter? We can just check it ourselves.

As if to prove it, the chatbox of the Venom Guild’s live stream was active. It was ridiculously slow compared to Hyeonu’s live stream, but the chat messages were still rising at a fairly fast pace.

“Yes. During the time when we didn’t turn on the stream, we found something that might’ve caused the change in the north,” Kalen interrupted the messages of the viewers with a slight smile.

In fact, it wasn’t that they found the cause. It was what they had done in the first place. It was a ridiculous lie that they had only found it now.

-Did you really find it? It isn’t a lie?

-It will be a disappointment if it is aggro...

-I should hurry and spread the word.

-Write a post, and the number of viewers will increase.

-Even 100,000 people is too few. There are more than one or two people curious about this right now.

The viewers quickly became interested in Kalen’s words about how Venom had found the cause. It was an opportunity to identify the cause of the issue that was heating up the community.

“Yes, we found it. It isn’t far from here. We will depart now. So... please publicize it well.” Kalen bowed slightly.

At this moment, Rose’s eyes curved in a smile from where she was sitting next to Kalen. “I would like to request you for publicity, everyone. We need your attention.”

-Yes, I will work hard to promote it.

-Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty. I’m going to promote it.

-I will write a post in every community. Please wait.

-I’ll write five.

The viewers melted at Rose’s smile. They promised spontaneous publicity.

“Yes, I’m depending on you. I only believe in you.” Rose kept smiling.

Crimson, who was sitting in front of Rose and watching the scene, made a disgusted gesture.

“We will leave right away. The viewers will gather as we go.” Kalen stood up with these words.

The other five followed Kalen and got up as well. Now was the time to depart. They were going toward a place that would lead them somewhere brighter.

-This mindset is good.

-I like small guilds like this rather than large guilds.

-They are large so the content is too uniform. They don’t even try.

-These kids should be bigger. That way, more streamers will do better content.

The viewers applauded the actions of the Venom Guild, who didn’t drag out time and started the content straight away. It was always right to move quickly without dragging their feet.

“It is really the worst if we die this time.”

“If we die, we die. Ultimately, we just need to take a proper video. Then it won’t be a loss but an unconditional gain.”

“Yes, we just need to take a look at Edward, and... it is the end. It will be the right starting point.”

The Venom Guild exchanged opinions as they headed to Edward’s location. They spoke in a very low voice so that viewers couldn’t hear.

“Now, it is right over there. Do you see that icy altar? Doesn’t it look like something is there?” Kalen pointed at the icy altar.

-There seems to be something.

-Still, how can that be the cause?

-Wait and see. Something will come out.

-It is very urgent.

Some of the viewers nodded at the mere presence of the ice altar while others asked how this could be evidence. Then after a while, they all stopped chatting.

“Was one time not enough? Fools...” a voice rang out from a place far away from the ice altar. It was a location that neither the Venom Guild nor the viewers had expected.

Kalen hurriedly turned around and shouted, “Behind!”

The voice had come from behind them. Following Kalen’s gaze, the owner of the voice appeared. “The only thing that will be given to you is death.”

Standing there was a man with his entire body wrapped in gray armor and a raised sword.
