===================

– Black Dragon fighting

– Jae-ha-hem really cheer up.

– To think you streamed under such a trashy situation.

– F*cking bugs twisting in.

“……?”

Han-bit who was exiting the citadel checked the suddenly changed chat window atmosphere.

Expressions telling him to cheer up were coming up at a plastering level.

“Why are they suddenly doing this?”

“My name is coming up too?”

Kim Jae-ha also showed questions.

It was too strange of a reaction to come out while walking a path.

Ding-

[Small Magician-nim supported 100,000 won.]

[FR it was a sh*tty situation;]

[Sword God-nim supported 1,000,000 won.]

[Fighting.]

[Spirit-nim supported 5,000,000 won.]

[Cheer up.]

The donation messages that started coming up following behind.

While Han-bit’s question deepened, Liwei’s voice was heard from the side.

“So this is how it turned out?”

“What?”

“A post went up on RPG. I thought I smelled trash from that guy.”

“……?”

Trash meant the department head.

Han-bit meeting eyes with Kim Jae-ha checked the community right away.

“…Ah.”

Glancing through the popular posts list he quickly caught on to the situation.

The media article containing Black Dragon’s threat damage.

Below that was the exposure post putting up Department Head Lee Ho-joong’s name.

Looking at the written time, it seemed Yeon-woo moved one step faster.

“I’ll take a phone call for a moment.”

Han-bit turning off his microphone called Yeon-woo right away.

After a short ring flow the voice was heard immediately.

(Hyung, I was about to call you anyway.)

“What happened? The bodycam footage was released as a news article.”

(If we upload it directly the picture doesn’t look very good. We casually gave a hint to the reporters residing at the police station.)

Regarding the department head’s threat case he left everything to Yeon-woo.

He heard they were taking legal action, but didn’t know they would even use the media.

“How is the department head’s reaction? With that human’s personality he’ll bite and hang on tenaciously.”

(He’s probably out of his mind right now? While doing this and that investigation, they caught a big case.)

“Big case?”

(Tax evasion, embezzlement, crimes related to illegal funds. He did a lot of things. Taking the materials Jae-ha-hyung gave and tracing them along, charges came hanging down in clusters.)

“…Are you some kind of detective?”

He was thinking of making him pay the price for the threat and extortion, but he had more sins he committed himself.

It’s just amazing that Yeon-woo noticed this.

(Ah, and if you have anything more to submit as evidence give it to me.)

“Why evidence? Is it lacking?”

(No matter how much you prepare it’s lacking. Threat and extortion contents are good, and detailed wrongdoings are good too if there are any.)

“Other evidence? The messages kept getting sent to you……. I don’t think there’s any particular other evidence?”

“Other evidence? Shall I give this at least?”

At that time, suddenly Liwei casually brought out words from the side.

Because it was a too out-of-the-blue story Han-bit asked back right away.

“We’re talking about the Taeyul Company department head right now?”

“I’m talking about that trash too. I don’t know if it’ll be a crime or not, but I received a message like this.”

Liwei forwarded a message right away.

「Black Dragon boldly lied to you earlier. This transaction was made because that guy assaulted me. I will dig out information, so let’s cut away such trash and join forces among ourselves. I’ll generously match your conditions.」

“…Done all sorts of things.”

Han-bit checking the contents let out a sigh.

Because it was such department head-like bullsh*t he had nothing to say.

“But how did the department head send a message to you? Did you not set block settings other than friends?”

“What if someone challenges me to a match while keeping it blocked? Already as a vanguard everyone avoids me.”

“…….”

An answer where a consistent heart was clearly felt.

If it’s a vanguard all sorts of contacts would pour in, but is he even handling that.

It’s purely pure madness considerably.

“I’ll use it well for now.”

Han-bit forwarded the message Liwei gave to Yeon-woo.

I don’t know if it’ll be a crime, but it’s better to send whatever.

Step-

Han-bit turning his microphone back on searched for the exit and went straight ahead.

And when he came out outside the snowy mountain, he looked at Liwei standing next to him.

“The contents of the wish ticket end here. Thanks for helping.”

“Yeah? I’ll get going then. If there’s a good match see you again.”

– Look how cool he is;

– Different from someone.

– Great Hero TT

– I will not forget.

– Still stop with the matches…….

– At this level let’s just do it once.

Liwei really turned his steps and disappeared into the forest.

He didn’t know when they’d meet again, but wouldn’t they compete in a match then too.

“Ah, come to think of it.”

At that time, Kim Jae-ha who stood behind started talking.

He took out a small snowflake-shaped crystal from his inventory and handed it to Han-bit.

“What is this?”

“It’s what I discovered when went down underground using the card. When I picked this up, a warning message talking about treasure or whatever popped up.”

“Ah.”

The Snow Drake’s treasure Han-bit didn’t expect either.

However looking from the outside he had no guesses.

Lowering his posture he reached his hand out and examined the snowflake crystal’s info.

[Glacier’s Trace]

Rank: ?

Grade: ?

Description: A trace that fell off the Ice Spirit King Glacier. If incorrectly activated it feels like your whole body will be frozen forever.

– Uh?

– Spirit King’s trace?

– To think it comes out here again?

– Jae-ha-hem did one case.

– I believed.

At the Spirit King’s name written in the info the chat window rustled.

“Oh, Glacier is the first time I hear it!”

Avant-garde who possessed miscellaneous knowledge was surprised at the first-heard name.

Although Han-bit knows the existence of Glacier, this situation was outside expectations.

‘Ice is the first time I see it.’

He came across various Spirit King’s traces in past regressions.

However he never discovered Glacier’s.

“This is also a Spirit King’s trace so you can use it for Attribute Manifestation right? Try it quickly.”

Kim Jae-ha urged recalling Han-bit’s skill.

The hidden skill Attribute Manifestation obtained while absorbing Salion’s trace.

It was written in the description that it upgrades as other traces are added.

“I’ll try doing it.”

Han-bit who drew his bluish-white sword stepped back far away from the other people.

Looking at the snowflake crystal placed on his palm he slowly brought the sword blade to it.

The moment.

Crack-!

A tremendous chill surged and began freezing Han-bit’s surroundings.

‘So it’s this kind of feeling.’

Like Salion’s flames that wrapped him, this chill also had no hostility.

Not an aching coldness, but a pleasant coolness is felt.

Srrk-

The raging chill naturally gathered into the sword blade.

And then riding Han-bit’s hand was absorbed into one point inside his body.

Eventually when the chill completely disappeared, an alarm rang the ear.

Ding-

[Hidden Achievement: Achieved the Second Spirit King’s Trace.]

[The Hidden Spirit skill Attribute Manifestation (Rank 3 – Epic) is upgraded to (Rank 4 – Epic).]

[You can select the attribute matching the possessed trace.]

– Oh.

– Evolution ㄷㄷ

– What happens if you collect them all?

– Up to where does it go up?

– Is it a Mythic by any chance?

– If even a Legendary pops up people lose their minds though. Lol

The messages that continuously popped up along with the snowflake crystal disappearing from his hand.

As guessed the rank of the Attribute Manifestation skill evolved.

He didn’t know how many Spirit King’s traces there are, but it’s a power he must continuously collect anyway.

‘To think it’s ice…….’

Attributes boast their respective strengths.

And the ice attribute shows very excellent effects in multi-versus-one fights.

Like a wave where monsters swarm.

“Hyung, thanks to you I gained one more trace. Really thank you.”

“Picked it up without even knowing what it was. If it was helpful it’s a relief.”

“Not at the level of help, it’s really huge.”

Kim Jae-ha spoke scratching his head, but it was an unbelievable level of achievement.

Han-bit who unexpectedly gained a huge power moved his steps towards Ifrit with slightly lighter footsteps.

“Hey, he’s going over there.”

“How many vanguards did he screw over?”

“But didn’t they go on their own feet?”

Players existed scattered here and there on the way back.

The murmuring voices showed varying opinions.

“We arrived.”

Walking like that for a moment.

Han-bit’s group reached a position where the city walls were visible.

The moment.

[Moving to a cutscene.]

Along with the message the sight before his eyes changed.

***

Han-bit’s blacked-out vision quickly became clear.

The sight that appeared was Ifrit’s city walls.

The screen zoomed in on a few soldiers at the top.

“I heard there was an uproar back then? Saying a monster wave or something came.”

“I was off-duty too so I just heard the stories.”

Evening when the sun hung on the horizon.

The two people sitting on chairs slowly untangled the stories they heard.

Then the soldier who stood keeping watch looking outside spoke letting out a sigh.

“I was at that scene. You don’t know an adventurer stopped what would have been a near-death situation with the city walls collapsing?”

He who took the night shift witnessed the situation of the monster wave directly with his own eyes.

Trolls moving like undead breaking the walls, and the guild master couldn’t kill such guys.

If not for the outsider adventurer possessing the gold bracelet he didn’t even want to imagine the result.

“That’s the adventurer called Black Dragon right? Rumors are turning around quite a bit.”

“Heard they brought Dwarf bastards into the city? Don’t know if it’s hygienically okay.”

They took an interest in the eccentricity of the adventurer called Black Dragon rather than the monster wave.

Because he brought the Dwarves everyone avoids inside Ifrit.

“It is a natural choice to repair the city walls. From the start creating such meaningless walls was the problem.”

“Useless worries. Where is a city safer than Ifrit? A monster wave is just an accident that happens once in a blue moon.”

“The Mayor-nim has deep meanings for everything. How much has the city’s circumstances improved by attracting tourists with the walls?”

The danger of the monster wave and the safety of the city walls.

With just these two things the perspectives they held were too different.

Because to the two people sitting leisurely on chairs from the start there were absolutely no worries.

The man who stood keeping watch spoke letting out a sigh.

“I assure you, the monsters’ attacks will continue. Eventually problems will occur because of these walls…….”

Thud-!

At that time, a strange noise rang the ears.

The soldier turning his head directly looked at the forest.

“Damn it……!”

What entered his eyes was a mass of black monsters pouring out from the forest border.

That number was much larger than what was witnessed last night.

Tak-!

He extending his hand touched the magic stone attached to the wall.

Then the installed magic tool made a loud sound.

It was a device made with the knowledge a sage left behind.

Dong-! Dong-!

A warning sound like a bell ringing instantly spread throughout the city.

“Wow, are those all monsters?”

“Uh? Didn’t the adventurers say they went out scouting?”

The two soldiers slightly standing up from their chairs were still leisurely.

A situation where veteran adventurers including the guild master emptied their seats for scouting.

Despite that they were not worried.

“Well, we just have to use the turrets well.”

“What were the instructions to use this? Where was it written down?”

“Get out of the way!”

At the unconcerned behavior of the two, the man standing watch moved.

He who moved following the path made on top of the walls quickly approached the crystal below the installed disc.

The moment, a tremendous shock rang the city walls.

Boom-!

The soldier whose body shook barely supported his balance holding the wall.

Barely looking down, a huge boulder was stuck in the center of the glass walls.

“…Ogre?”

A large-bodied monster gradually revealing its figure from the forest.

In each of their hands huge boulders were held.

Throw-!

Bang-!

“Ugh!”

The continuously flying boulders smashed the city walls.

Clang-!

The places that broke during the night were nothing but child’s play.

Because right now several areas were breaking simultaneously.

The soldier gritting his teeth shouted his voice.

“Everyone stick to the turrets!”

Srrk-

Along with the man’s voice Han-bit’s vision blurred.

And when the scenery changed again, he stood together with his party.

“Already the second wave?”

“It’s faster than the known timeframe.”

Kim Jae-ha and Avant-garde were surprised at the faster speed than the known development.

Next to them Zenon and Goric appeared again.

The first to kick off his feet was the adventurer.

“Nia……!”

Dash-!

Zenon running at fast speed calling his daughter’s name.

Han-bit also firmly gripping his sword followed right behind.

Above the path he passed cool chill was being scattered.
