I heard about Duke Huangyeol’s secrets and the Empire’s disposition through Arne.
Since the moment Duke Huangyeol vanished without a sound, it seems the Empire will flow into the hands of the prince and Arne for the time being.
There’s still resentment against the Empire permeating among both users and residents, but who knows what’ll happen with those two.
Duke Huangyeol has a built-up karma, but Spirit Lord, Eight Swords, and Leo are still standing strong.
To surpass their combined might, at least a top ranker like Yena or Heavenly Horse needs to get involved, but those two don’t exactly harbor resentment against the Empire.
“Actually, Yena seems to have more resentment towards the Kingdom.”
Anyway, after a series of days spent struggling to open a sealed skewer box for some reason, May 1st finally arrived.
[Reward has arrived.]
The day foretold by the disaster has come, and the world is safe.
The Kraken, Scorpio, and Demon of Space, called the three disasters, have all been defeated.
Users were eagerly waiting for unprecedented boss rewards, and as soon as the reward arrived, they turned on the broadcast.
[Lilha]
[ㄹㄹㄹㄹㄹㅁ]
[Did you see Lily’s reward?]
[Oh]
[Did you open the rewards?]
[Wow, crazy rewards! Haha]
[What happened to the Empire?]
[Look at the viewers pouring in, haha]
[Legendary]
It seems there are already people who opened their rewards, even though I thought I was starting early.
I originally intended to go live for an aura broadcast, but it took quite a while wrestling with this stubborn, unopened box.
“I can’t just smash it open.”
Sure, if I gave it my all, I could break it, but it’d be obvious the contents would get destroyed too, so I couldn’t do that.
“Lilha~ Everyone come on over!”
[Hi hi hi hi]
[Did you open the reward? Reward? Reward?]
[I’m most excited about Lily’s reward, haha]
[Did you see Yena got a mythical item?]
“Miss Yena got a mythical item?”
[Yep yep yep]
[She seemed really happy, haha]
[It was some gold-colored ring with basic stats like a rock, though]
[For real, haha]
Although Yena didn’t participate in the demon hunt, she did have her moments before the Kraken and Scorpio.
It’s not strange for her to receive a reward of that level.
Of course, Scorpio was more about defending against the disaster than being defeated.
For the record, Yena struggled in the Tower of Growth, finally managing to clear it just before April ended.
She finally hit her long-desired 121.
“She said she’ll be stronger soon, and that’s terrifying.”
I wonder just how much stronger Yena, who has gone through every trial, has become.
That’s something to look forward to.
It’s a part.
[Hahaha]
[Still, it’s Yena, though]
[???: Scary, huh? (Just smashing the Moonlight and Tower Boss)]
[Honestly, I feel like Lily could win even fighting barehanded, lol]
[Lololololol]
“Well, still, Yena is a top-tier user.”
If the current Yena were to go back two years, no one would be able to stop her.
Even the Sword Saint or Leo before losing their powers wouldn’t stand a chance against her.
The swords of the Empire would also not dare to challenge her, except the Three Lords.
Anyway, the awaited time for settling accounts has finally arrived.
“This time, with all the disasters subjugated, the entire user rewards have been distributed. Everyone has received theirs, right?”
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]
[I haven’t opened mine yet, lol]
[That’s insane, lol]
[I want to open it with Lily]
[Hurry up and open it, go go go]
[I heard there’s a Moon Quest, too]
“I received mine, but haven’t opened it yet. By the way, I got some rewards from the Disaster of Gongam, but I’ll give those out later during an event at the Academy.”
The reward from subjugating the Demon of Space included several fragments imbued with refined magic and an item called ‘Necklace of Space.’
It’s a mythical item with a cooldown, and it seems to allow the mastery of techniques related to ‘space’, including traversing space or creating one’s own sub-space.
Since it’s perfectly refined by the system, even ordinary users can use it without the constraints of magic, but…
“Magic is somewhat antagonistic.”
Right now, using the ‘Frost Bracelet’ imbued with the power of chill is nearly impossible.
The holy power embedded in my body is hostile to magic, so there was no reason for me to use it.
“I’m familiar with ‘space.'”
[Oh]
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1YkU5K2Zzb2pjcGdEU3o1ZEJZRy94WmxkYVpPUFlEWWlyVXhKbTNnSkNnbg
[Really?]
[Lily should use it]
[Give it to me]
“Anyway, I’ll announce that later. If anyone has seen my fake, please report it to me.”
All disasters have been captured, but the disaster-class being ‘Black Lily’ still remains in the world.
Though it can be said it’s the remnants left behind by the disaster, it seems to have been handled separately due to Duke Huangyeol’s involvement.
Given her characteristics, I don’t think she’s going to do anything reckless, but since sealing the box bothers me, I think I should catch her.
“I’ll just hit her on the head first.”
[Lololololololol]
“Now that I think about it, they didn’t catch them all.”
“Seriously, where did they go?”
“Huh?”
[Lily is two? Lol]
[Isn’t Black Lily not streaming?]
[Heh… Black Lily, big sister…]
[Hahaha]
[For real, Fake Lily was so pretty.]
[For real, lol]
[Whoa]
[Are you going to catch it if it shows up?]
“I have something to talk about. I’m going to open the real rewards now.”
Countless messages waiting for my approval.
When I clicked on the first message that said “Rewards have arrived,” numerous messages obscured my view.
[You have defeated all three disasters!]
[The world thanks you.]
[User group buff, “Slayer of the Three Disasters” (180 days) has been granted.]
[User group buff, “Guardian of the World” (180 days) has been granted.]
[Guild group buff, “World Guardian Group” (180 days) has been granted.]
[Title, “Hero who Defeated the Three Disasters (Mythic)” has been obtained.]
[Title, “The One Who Prevented Destruction (Transcendent)” has been obtained.]
[Title, “Slayer of the Sea (Transcendent)” has been obtained.]
[Title, “Slayer of Gold (Hero)” has been obtained.]
[Title, “Slayer of the Abyss (Semi-Mythic)” has been obtained.]
“Whoa.”
I hadn’t even finished half of the system messages, and yet there were already so many.
First of all, the group buffs are a standard 6-month buff given to users who participated in the disaster slaying.
And it seems the titles differ in rank according to each contribution to the slaying.
[Oh]
[?]
[The ranks are insane, lol]
[Why is mine different?]
[Wow]
[The Transcendent title is dope]
[? Why isn’t everyone’s Transcendent?]
[Lily has some low ones too]
[Gold Hero???]
[Gold was a legendary reward for just hitting it once, right?]
[Huh?]
[Did Lily not participate much or something?]
Ding!
[You are a member of the ‘Challenger Alliance’.]
[The ‘Challenger Alliance’ was established to confront the disasters.]
[You have amassed a very high contribution within the alliance.]
[Guild group buff, “Member of the Alliance” (180 days) has been granted.]
[Title, “Member of the Challenger Alliance” has been obtained.]
[Title, “Executive of the Challenger Alliance” has been obtained.]
[Your contribution degree in the alliance is ‘60%’.]
[Title, “Hero of the Challenger Alliance” has been obtained.]
[Alliance Emblem (Mythic) has been obtained.]
Thud.
An emblem with a striking yellow feather and a sword pattern fell onto my hand, symbolizing the knight.
I briefly wondered about its lack of abilities, but when I glanced at the stats, it seemed comparable to ordinary Transcendent levels.
“That’s quite meaningful even for my current state.”
“This is nice.”
“With so many weapons around, this is really good.”
[Wow]
[No way 60%????]
[That’s insane lol]
[???]
“At this point, it’s basically all thanks to Lily.”
“Wait, I’m at 0.07%?”
“Honestly, we wouldn’t have made it without Alliance Lily.”
“Wow.”
“Real talk lol.”
“I heard the Knight was at 10%, that’s crazy lol.”
“How many servings did Lily handle by herself?”
[Info) 60% is actually low.]
Besides that, various rewards kept coming in.
Miscellaneous titles, gigantic gold boxes, experience boxes, assorted secondary equipment, consumable items, and so on…
Countless rewards poured in, but apart from the titles and buffs that just add on to what is already there, nothing really useful showed up.
“Levels aren’t really rising at all.”
In the meantime, they were throwing experience at me as some kind of transcendental reward, but not even a single level went up.
It was even called “Enhanced Gigantic Experience Box,” yet still nothing.
[lolololol]
[?]
[Is this a level bug?]
“What’s the experience requirement?”
“Let me see… ten hundred thousand…”
Billion, ten billion, one hundred billion, one trillion…
Hmm.
“Exactly 891.7 billion.”
[?]
[lolololololololol]
[Huh?]
[This is crazy]
“It feels like they just don’t want me to level up.”
In the middle, because I caught my fake, my experience requirements must have skyrocketed.
“But isn’t this a bit too high?”
“I guess I won’t be leveling up for a while.”
Until the fifth phase comes out, there’s no particular reason to level up, so let’s just leave it as it is for now.
After all, there’s no proper place to level up, and if I force it, I’ll have to wipe out the New Continent.
Now, for the next reward…
“Oh?”
[By eliminating all disasters, you have come one step closer to the truth of the world.]
[The progress of the World Quest, ‘The Truth of Light and Darkness,’ has increased by ‘15%’.]
[The current progress of ‘The Truth of Light and Darkness’ is ‘31%.]
[A door leading to ? has opened somewhere in the World.][A door leading to ? has opened somewhere in the World.]
