Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 180 - Faster Encounter Than Expected (1)



Chapter 180: Faster Encounter Than Expected (1)

I can say for sure that I am very lucky.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to select ‘Revival Legend,’ or more precisely, ‘Forgotten Legend’, among the numerous closed beta games available.

So, it was ‘Forgotten Legend’ that I first played when I looked for games in their closed beta stage during my vacation, and I also applied for other games in their closed beta stage as well, secretly hoping that I could be chosen.

Anyway, whatever the situation, I can say that I was very lucky by choosing ‘Forgotten Legend’, and I continued to be lucky while playing ‘Revival Legend’.

For example, I obtained Blink with zero cooldown right before I challenged the Salimaru Bandits quest, and the level 1200 reality actualization preview0 right before Pablo forcefully exiled me to Region 0.

In other words, I was lucky enough to encounter a series of situations that seemed to prepare me for what would happen in the future.

On such occasions, unexpected messages kept ringing, proving that I was very lucky again.

[You have found Yosif who robbed you of the level 700 only quest with his rait ‘Quest Robber’.]

I clearly saw a message before that announced that I could not track down Yosif because of the wall blocking countries around the world.

And along with the message about Yosif, a red circle sparkled above the head of a man in the surroundings who seemed to be very high level.

So, I naturally turned my eyes at him, and the other person also looked at me, startled, as if he also received the same message.

At that moment I smiled in spite of myself.

Of course, I pledged to take revenge on this guy who robbed me of the level 700 only quest. I told myself over and over that I would get even with the robber, but little did I expect to encounter him in this place so early.

So, I brightly smiled at Yosif, who was so embarrassed, and said faintly, “Nice to see you here,” in a low voice.

“…”

Yosif never thought he would encounter Asirante in a place like this.

Therefore, he could not help but be startled, but he soon pulled himself together.

He had some fighting experience, and he was not low level enough to be defeated easily. As a matter of fact, he was confident of beating his opponent, no matter who they were.

He has robbed hundreds of quests so far. Although he didn’t clear all of them and didn’t achieve the top ranking in lots of quests, he still gained lots of things in the process.

But that was why the Lucia Guild set their eyes on him and had Pablo forcefully recruit him.

Nevertheless, Yosif had no choice but to acknowledge the Asirante before his eyes was a monster, because Asirante had proven his power many times through his brilliant performance in many quests. In particular, the fact that Asirante smashed Pablo’s ‘Penetrating Wall’, which even he couldn’t do, was clear evidence that Asirante was indeed very strong.

Of course, this didn’t mean that Yosif would give in so easily , so he looked around quickly to try to find out which clan Asirante belonged to. And he heaved a sigh of relief when he realized it was the Zaltz Clan. He was very fortunate that Asirante was not a member of a powerful clan like the Hantz Clan with 90 members, or the Altz Clan with 80 members, else he would be in a real difficult situation.

After he sized up the situation surrounding Asirante, Yosif shouted out loudly.

“Do we need to engage in this kind of dirty war among us? Currently, there are a total of 10 clans with 100, 90, 80, …, 30, 20, and 10 combatants respectively. And as you know, the weaker clans have few combatants. In other words, if the ten clans have to be reduced to seven clans, don’t you think it’s right that the weaker clans should disappear first?”

Yosif showed overflowing confidence while shouting these words because he knew what he said was 100% true.

In fact, at least 490 out of the 550 combatants were supportive of Yosif’s logic. Of course, the remaining 60 people who don’t agree with him are probably either from the Zaltz clan that I belong to, or the 9th ranking clan with 20 members, or the 8th ranking clan with 30 members.

Anyway, as soon as Yosif finished talking, I could hear many whispers agreeing with him in the throng of people surrounding me.

At that moment, Yosif shouted again, as if he had a lot to say.

“The weak will always fall behind and disappear. Besides, the Zaltz clan has Asirante as one of their combatants. If you are well informed, you must have heard about him, of course. So, we have to eliminate him as soon as possible.”

Yosif pointed me out with his fingers to make me the main target..

And everyone’s eyes suddenly turned to me.

Some of them already began to take an attacking posture.

Of course, I was confident of using Blink with zero cooldown to attack Yosif and strike him down before he spouted more nonsense.

But I put up with it because I must ensure that the Lotz Clan Yosif belonged to should be one of the eliminated three clans.

So I opened my mouth, looking at Yosif, or more precisely, the Lotz clan.

“How about a fight between the Lotz and Zalz clans first? You are ten times stronger than us in terms of just numbers.”

The strongest clan here was the Lotz clan. And nobody would have a problem with my proposal except for the Lotz clan. In addition, even if the 8th and 9th ranking clans, not to mention the 10th ranking Zaltz clan, were defeated and absorbed by the other clans, there would not be much change to the power dynamic since they were small and weak from the beginning.

However, if the Lotz clan were defeated here, there would be a drastic change in the existing power distribution of the ten clans.

As soon as I finished talking, the members of the second largest Hantz clan, and the third largest Altz clan began to whisper among themselves.

So I opened my mouth once more, so that everyone could hear it clearly.

“No matter who wins, if the Lotz Clan, who is the greatest power here, loses members, wouldn’t it benefit you all?”

I was announcing something like a declaration of war against the largest Lotz clan.

So, all the clans other than the Lotz clan would be happy on the inside because if the strongest force were defeated or suffered serious damage, the other clans would move up one rank higher than before.”

“No way! Let’s unite together to strike down that powerful Asirante…”

Of course, Yosif desperately balked at my proposal because this was the last thing he wanted, but the other clans had clearly made their decisions.

Tramp-Tramp-Tramp-

When one of them stepped back, all the others did the same.

And only the Lotz clan with 100 combatants and the Zaltz clan with only ten combatants including myself were left in the center.

At that moment, Yosif stiffened his expression, as if he was so embarrassed.

Of course, there was a reason why he stiffened his face like that.

Right before the fight, there was a message that even if one of the clan members survived, that clan would not be eliminated.

So, if all the ten clans engaged in a nasty fight that would not differentiate between friendly forces and enemies, three of them could unfortunately disappear before I could eliminate all 100 members of the Lotz Clan.

So, I agonized over it for a moment until Yosif challenged me a little while ago by saying that all the clans except for the Zaltz clan must unite to get rid of me first.

Of course, I used his challenge to make the situation favorable to me.

‘By the way, let me use my trait ‘Savant’ a little later.’
