Exceeded 10,000 points.
Likewise, how high is it because there is no target for comparison?
There was no way to know.
I mean, it’s like a heart.
How much is your contribution?
The feeling of wanting to grab hold of the player nearby and ask.
However, not dwelling on personal achievements was also the pride of Grandfel.
“I just got rid of the trash.”
Just tidying up the clothes.
“A contribution. It doesn’t matter.”
Spitting out these words was all I could feel.
Yes.
This is also very natural.
But let’s take a hard look.
‘No, even if it’s unfair, I’ll have to praise myself.’
As can be seen from the increased contribution.
I had fulfilled my role as a passenger on the bus.
The players who occupied the top of the castle wall thanks to the stairs I manifested.
They were certainly supporting their allies from a distance.
‘There’s nothing to say about containment.’
From support to preemptive strikes.
‘Because the rest of us are so familiar with it.’
It’s like blocking an opponent’s attack with a barrier.
It was a familiar expression like breathing to me.
Who is receiving my assistance?
“Thanks to Sir, your movement has become much easier!”
So I could be confident without being shameless.
‘The bus fare was definitely paid.’
He never ate it raw…!
Again—
that is, even at the moment of entering Frost.
I am a speck of dust.
It was said that there was not a single drop of blood on it.
A message popped up in my field of vision.
[You have entered ‘Frost’, which is going to hell.]
You are going to hell from the northern city.
To the extent that the modifier is changed.
Frost was a grim landscape.
Bodies of guards were strewn all over the streets.
Everywhere was covered in blood.
“…Damn it.”
At that horror, Harkon and other Lion Heart knights were speechless.
Some articles among them.
The sound of their teeth grinding could be heard in my ears.
Harkon opened his mouth in a cold voice.
“As much as Frost is one of the best cities in the Empire. There are quite a few people in our Knights who come from Frost. It will not be easy to understand their feelings.”
It was to the point where it felt amazing to be suppressed.
Because it was a truly brutal landscape.
‘It’s not like a virtual reality game, it’s reality.’
Scattered corpses are no longer NPCs.
Residents of Frost.
blood-soaked streets.
To the smell of blood that pierces your nose.
All of this was real.
If it was me in the past, I wouldn’t have been able to stand the nausea.
Like the players you see over there.
“…Wait, I’m not feeling well. Wow.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“It doesn’t have to be like this… Fuck!”
Because I was the one who frowned when I drained the blood from the meat, let alone the corpse.
But I had pride.
The pride of Grandfell that does not bend under any circumstances.
Even in the face of these horrors.
or vomit nonsense.
or squinting your eyes.
It wasn’t that I turned my head and turned away.
I said.
“I will collect the body.”
I will recover the body.
Harkon was startled by my words and asked back.
“Retrieving the body… are you serious?”
It wasn’t just Harkon.
Clearly—
Kichi and the other shadow mercenaries were giving me crazy eyes.
It was an understandable reaction.
Because I’m thinking of myself as crazy.
‘I don’t know when or where the demon king’s army will attack.’
Frost was full of buildings from the beginning.
per building.
every alley alley.
In other words, the ambush demon king’s army might come in a surprise attack.
Recovering the body in such a situation?
I really want to die. It’s a crazy act.
But i know
Because it wasn’t once or twice.
It was all because of this damn pride…!
『Grand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo is noble. Whoever the opponent is, he never lowers his head. His pride is weightless and unshakable. Even if it means sinking under its weight and drowning.”
Yes, that pride was telling me.
Those who died protecting Frost.
ignoring them.
that it goes against pride.
What goes against your pride?
Even if it means sinking and drowning.
I can’t resist that pride
however.
‘…do you think I’ll sink quietly and die?’
As I said, it wasn’t once or twice.
Even when I stood in front of Count Askura without even thinking about it.
Even in front of that great evil.
Because I have experiences of dying and surviving.
I didn’t hesitate any longer.
He bent his knees and bowed his back.
I approached Frost’s soldier who died while leaning against a building.
It’s like I can’t close my eyes yet.
He closed the eyes of the soldier who had widened his eyes.
“Your pride will be inherited by me.”
If you can sink it, try sinking it!
Because I was more confident than anyone else in struggling.
Harkon nodded at my action.
The Lion Heart knights moved in perfect order.
Lay the dismembered corpse away.
I closed their eyes that I couldn’t even close.
Then someone came up to me.
“…thank you.”
I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a helmet, but I could tell by his voice.
Golden Palace of Yusra Kingdom.
It was Yesika who escorted me as I struggled in the office.
“…And I’m sorry for all this time. really.”
Yesica was crying under the helmet.
‘…I don’t know what you’re sorry about.’
Did you even talk behind my back?
That is completely understandable.
Why can’t I get off work because of my boss?
‘I know it well.’
Still, another thing I noticed was good.
I immediately realized
The fact that Yesica’s hometown is Frost.
Of course, the feeling of losing something precious to the devil.
There was no way I could have known.
But Grandfel knows better than anyone else.
“Don’t get carried away by your emotions.”
I got up from my seat and continued talking.
“Nevertheless, we have to move on.”
…If you just give me some comfort, will it come out of nowhere?
Every time like this, the past me.
I want to nag at Grandfel.
I mean the people of the world
Do you think everyone has superhuman mental powers like you?
Fortunately, Yesica nodded.
Could it be that Harkon’s spiritual education was effective?
The moment I had such a useless thought.
“…!”
Suddenly, the quest window flickered.
I was taken aback.
…Wait what is this?
*
Ten gates.
Siege warfare in progress at the same time.
“…done!”
“Yes, if you have a conscience, you should open it. Bastards!”
“How many bottles of potion you poured!”
The castle gate, which had no sign of breaking through, finally started to collapse.
Except for the castle gate that Hoyeol attacked, all the speeds were the same.
“Aren’t those crazy bastards kidding?”
It was the same that the Demon King’s army appeared behind the collapsed castle gate.
But there was one other thing.
That is the presence of players on the wall.
“…Wait, aren’t those the players?”
“I guess that’s right. How did you get up there?”
“Could it be that it already came over from the other side?!”
It was.
A stone stairway that expresses the heat of passion.
They were the players who climbed the stone steps and occupied the top of the wall.
They run over the walls and reach the gates of other areas.
He started helping subdue the Demon King’s army.
“It was good to move, right?”
sober society.
Of course, there was no heart to help others.
Everything was for the sake of each person’s experience and contribution.
“I was a fool to think that the beans would run out.”
“really. Is there a different dimension there? Did you see it too?”
“I can’t keep up with the hunting speed. just.”
Ho-yeol and the Lion Heart Knights.
And even the shadow mercenaries.
Where they went, there was not even a suitable place to put a spoon.
So I made a quick decision.
I’d rather go to the other gate.
Shush shush—!
Support fire from such players.
That was enough to shake the ranks of the Demon King’s army.
That’s not enough.
“…Isn’t it smaller than I thought?”
than expected.
The number of the Demon King’s army that jumped out was not large.
The reason was not difficult to find.
“Lee Ho-yeol. We concentrated our forces there.”
So, the story is simple.
This was an opportunity.
for not missing an opportunity.
The Shining, which has maintained its position at the top so far.
Rocks, who was rolling his head, made a decision.
“Let’s quickly advance to the center of Frost.”
“Okay~ I feel a little sorry for you over there.”
“I’m sorry, bitch. In a situation where we are busy taking care of ourselves.”
“…but where did our princess go again?”
Camilla, who was drawing a bowstring, looked around.
Jessie, who had just been shooting skills, was nowhere to be seen.
Rox and Dmitri didn’t think much of it.
It would take a day or two for Jesse to disappear on his own.
Lee Ho-yeol disappeared as soon as the name came out.
“Umm… I think I know for some reason~?”
But Camilla kept her mouth shut.
crazy
What could be good about hating Jesse?
.
.
.
The forces of the Demon King’s army were concentrated in Hoyeol.
That news is an opportunity for someone.
For some, it was news like a thunderbolt.
“…?!”
Gaon and Berserker.
It was impossible to leave Yusra Kingdom completely empty.
Because of that, the two guilds unwillingly spread a common front due to the dispersed power.
“…what?”
“Damn it.”
Nam Tae-min Leonie stopped at the same time.
It was all thanks to Hoyeol that I was able to enter Frost more easily than expected…
Leonie gnashed her teeth.
“I’m sorry I left. I’m the type of person who can’t live without debt.”
Leonie was thinking of joining Hoyeol right away.
…should it be because of worry?
‘No, absolutely not.’
Where does Ho-yeol mean to be worried or a great person to receive help from someone?
It was simple stubbornness.
My pride that I can’t just receive any more.
“I am unconditionally in favor. sister.”
“I support you until the end of that decision.”
“Just shut up.”
Nam Tae-min also said to the guild members.
“We also join Hoyeol’s side.”
Ho-yeol and the Lion Heart Knights.
Even the shadow mercenaries.
I knew their level well, but…
There is no business in quantity.
Although it couldn’t help much, it was necessary to keep the number of people in line.
The moment the two guilds agree.
There should be no hesitation in the movement.
But why?
It kept getting caught in my eyes.
Eventually, Nam Tae-min stopped walking.
“Go first. I will follow you right away.”
Crumbling Frost.
I couldn’t bear to just pass by.
I couldn’t look away.
“….”
Nam Tae-min took care of the body without a word.
Worried that there might be a familiar face.
While thinking about that boiling anger.
Nam Tae-min’s quest window was also blinking.
[The conditions have been met.]
[The quest begins.]
[Class Quest: Proof of Wildness]
“…!”

The contribution to this increase was substantial.

I thought.
Blessings come from living kindly…!
Of course, it was not something I was hoping for.
In a word, cry and eat mustard.
It was a crazy thing that I did because of the pride that dominated my body.
‘Maybe it’s because I didn’t expect it.’
Something didn’t feel right.
But there was no expression.
Because that wasn’t the case.
Shadow Mercenaries.
One of the members said from the roof.
“It’s just coming in very openly. Damn you’re annoying.”
Just close the corpse’s eyes.
I just laid it on the floor.
Still, the delay was inevitable.
It must be because of that that the follow-up forces of the Demon King’s Army are rushing in.
The demon king soon came into sight.
It was different from the [Demon King’s Infantry] who had no personality from the outside.
But it didn’t matter.
because i knew
The level of the guys confirmed through the additional update history.
[Demon King’s Army Demon Cavalry: Lv.400]
[Demon King’s Centurion: Lv.420]
[Demon King’s Fighter: Lv.420]…
There was nothing to go far.
These guys are Baek Yi-seol that I hunted a while ago.
No, the fact that he is a weaker demon than a succubus.
‘So what’s the head count?’
The quantity also didn’t matter.
The most efficient way to deal with multiple enemies.
Because I had “magic”.
So come on
My experience contributions.
Of course, the battlefield full of buildings was cramped and complicated.
Of course, the building could collapse.
But even that doesn’t matter to me in the slightest.
I sorted out my clothes.
Even the disheveled appearance of [Handkerchief].
“There is no time to waste. Let’s finish it in one go.”
yes it is now
It was the moment to check the effect of the new stat, [Aesthetic].
