Chapter 22 Party Play (1)
Perhaps Yang Tae-ho received a slightly different message from me.
“Contact with Alpha.”
「Alpha purifies tainted magic.」
It was only natural that he was surprised.
You’ve never heard of being able to purify tainted magic without using a purifying agent.
It was something I hadn’t even expected until the level of the Purification attribute went up.
‘I didn’t know there was a difference between a non-growth type and a growth type.’
Thanks to this characteristic, it was also the idea of having a party in earnest.
Of course, just because the level went up didn’t mean that the purifying attribute was all-round.
[Purification (lv.2 – 38.79%)]
• Classification: Characteristic (Reward)
• Description: As a perk given to players with excellent performance, they can purify their own tainted magic without the help of a purifying agent, and as the level goes up, the purifying range expands.
• Effect lv.2: Possible to purify other people’s contaminated magic only when in contact with the body.
At the 2nd level, you must be in contact with the player you wish to purify.
I purged Yang Tae-ho’s contaminated magic and slightly frowned.
‘Really, the efficiency of the purification agent is sh*t.’
The amount of contaminated magic that can be purified with a 100-mana purification agent is between 100 and 150.
Players without the Cleansing trait will have a hard time completely clearing Chaos levels with Purifiers alone.
If you use magic power to buy a purification agent, the purified magic power decreases and the chaos level rises.
Even if you purify it again to lower the chaos level, the same thing will happen again when you buy the next purifier.
‘Only purified magic power can be used in the shop.’
The amount of mana possessed by the players is also different, and the purification efficiency is different depending on their mana management skills.
Basically, the way Gammas manage chaos levels belongs to a vicious cycle, not a virtuous one.
‘There are so many things I have to buy with magical power besides the purification agent.’
Because of this, most Gamma level players tend to keep their Chaos level at a moderate level instead of reducing it to 0 at once.
If you use too much mana on the purification agent, you’ll fall behind.
The reason why players’ grades are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma is probably because of this inefficient training process.
‘Since it’s hard to support everyone with the Purification attribute, I guess we’re focusing our support on those who stand out.’
The system is what gave Alpha the power to train other players.
Perhaps it is because of the causal rate mentioned by the system.
‘Because it seems that the burden of causality is reduced the more it suits the player’s autonomy.’
While purifying Tae-ho’s tainted mana, I pondered over the structure of this system.
At that time, Yang Tae-ho, who had regained his senses after the silence, spoke in a bewildered yet slightly excited voice.
“You won’t get bored if you go out with him.”
If you say what you did, you will be surprised, and now you are tired of being surprised.
He laughed and added words, and muttered with a languid breath.
“Ahhh, it looks like my body is about to fly away when Chaos lowers.”
Yang Tae-ho was able to withstand the polluted magical power a little better, but he was not free from its influence.
“It will take some time to clear it all up.”
“Should I keep holding on to this tongue?”
“It’s just a matter of touching body parts.”
I’m already purifying the players in Palao.
So, the minimum conditions necessary for purification have been confirmed.
‘It must be funny to keep doing this here.’
I looked up at the dark sky once and held out my left arm to Tae-ho.
At that, Yang Tae-ho grabbed my wrist, and we started moving again in that state.
“Hiya, it’s true that people don’t know the future.”
Was it because the chaos level was decreasing in real time?
“I didn’t expect you to feel good holding a guy.”
Yang Tae-ho continued to speak in a voice that reminded him.
It seemed that there was no need to pour cold water on the atmosphere, so it suited them appropriately.
“I never thought the day would come when I was grabbed by a man and walked.”
“Uhahahahaha, I’m glad you don’t have cancer, right? Someone must have seen it.”
Isn’t it perfect for a strange misunderstanding?
Yang Tae-ho laughed as he made an unfunny joke.
As a result of our trip together, he doesn’t just look sad.
Even my mind was sad, so I seemed to live thinking that good is good.
‘Just looking at the chaos limit is 70, it’s clear.’
In a good way, it is good, but in a different way, it can be seen as a tendency to avoid conflict.
He may seem older than me, but he was a different type from Jong-hun, whom I can rely on mentally.
But it wasn’t a big deal.
After all, when deciding the course of the party, my opinion as the leader will take precedence.
Therefore, Yang Tae-ho’s sad personality was rather a welcome factor.
‘If I overdo it, it might act as a brake to catch it.’
If you have someone like this around you, it will be easier to look back on your actions by using them as a comparison group.
‘It’s good.’
I generally liked the advantages that Yang Tae-ho’s joining would bring.
At that time, when I was feeling satisfied, Yang Tae-ho sneakily asked me about my personal life.
“Grande, how old is he? You look younger than me.”
what about age
“Twenty-five.”
“You’re younger than I thought. You have the same mouth shape when you speak, are you Korean?”
“yes.”
“I am thirty-five this year. What about the titles, so we agreed to be brothers and sisters?”
“Do as you please. Because I don’t care about that.”
“What’s your code name? Do you think it’s time to tell the argument?”
“ah.”
I stopped walking at the question that followed.
It was only then that I realized that I had only spoken half of my voice.
‘Looks like he’s gotten used to the beasts.’
I’ve been seeing a lot of people lately.
They tended to sniff rather than ask names.
Maybe it was because I had grown accustomed to that experience, but Tae-ho’s code name was asked, but I didn’t tell him my code name.
But Yang Tae-ho seemed to think I was hiding my name.
‘It’s not like mysticism or anything like that.’
Embarrassed, I hurriedly sent a party request to Yang Tae-ho and said,
“This is K.”
“… … huh? What?”
Yang Tae-ho asked in a bewildered voice whether the party request notification had popped up.
“I said Kay… … .”
While answering with a plain voice, my eyes were drawn to the map.
It was because of a black dot that suddenly appeared on the edge of the map.
It’s not uncommon for monsters to appear on the map.
‘There might be one or two left.’
But the numbness in my fingertips didn’t feel right.
Because the speed at which it appeared was strange.
‘It popped out in an instant.’

Just then, the black dot on the map moved in our direction.
It gets closer once, then slows down, then stops for a very short time and gets closer again quickly.
It was as if it had jumped off the ground and jumped big at once.
It was similar to when it appeared at the edge of the map a while ago.
‘There wasn’t anyone around here who moved like that.’
It is certain because there are still remains of monster corpses around.
The monsters and evolved species caught in this area seemed to be a mixture of monkeys and spiders.
Those who crawl on the floor with their arms attached to their torsos can’t move like that.
“Huh, really? Are you really Kay? Wow, wow, what is this! How could it be unusual!”
Yang Tae-ho, who was surprised to see my code name, accepted the party request.
But when he opened his mouth with a raised voice, I was raising my spear.
It wasn’t intentional, but in the process, it was like shaking off Yang Tae-ho’s hand.
Thanks to that, Yang Tae-ho, who immediately noticed the change in my expression, asked me.
“huh? Should I come again?”
“coming.”
The black dot moved quickly closer again.
I focused my magic on my eyes.
My vision stretched out a little further, and I caught glimpses of shadows among the trees.
I’m not sure because it’s set in darkness.
The black mass that kicked off the ground and quickly closed the distance was quite large.
‘About 3 meters.’
The first thing that came to mind was the corpse of a 4-star evolutionary species seen in the underground bunker.
“Stay back.”
I don’t know if it’s the majority of the pool party.
Yang Tae-ho alone is not very helpful in the battle against the 4-star evolutionary species.
Fortunately, his magical power is rock type.
‘I can at least protect myself.’
If I had asked a useless question at that time, the score given to Yang Tae-ho would surely have gone down.
But he immediately raised his shield and stepped back.
Following my instructions, he quickly accepted that it was not the place for him to step out.
Thanks to that, I was able to fully focus on the evolutionary species that were getting closer and closer.
Looking at the four black stars hanging over the head of a huge monster brought back memories from two weeks ago.
Around the time when the 7th Church’s leadership decided to reveal the top contaminated sites.
There was a time when he entered a 4-star contaminated area with the paladins of the Palao Church.
The main purpose was to directly feel the danger of the upper contaminated area.
Additionally, it was a move to gain experience in an urgent battle.
It was because I needed to put the skills I had honed through Shamel into practice.
As a result, it was difficult for me to do my part properly that day.
‘There were only evolutionary species, so what?’
When I judged coolly, the number of higher evolutionary species that I can handle alone is three.
Fortunately, there is only one now.
Even after expanding the map to the maximum, there was no black dot approaching like that guy.
So, I gladly pulled out my spear.
‘It’s embarrassing if I can’t catch even one guy.’
Gando is also seen before the full-scale battle.
I took a big step forward with my left foot, gripping the javelin for the javelin.
Right after that, Shamel’s voice, which I heard so often that my ears were covered in blood, was automatically played.
– Why is the back of the guy who wants to use the spear so stiff? Even though the spearhead and waist always have to play together?
Now that I can use it naturally, I twist my back and put my strength into the spear that will fly.
– Do you think all throwing is a javelin? If you really want to throw a javelin, you have to know how to pierce the air first.
I wrapped my fingers around the spear pole to throw it farther and faster. It was to rotate the window.
Eventually, when the posture perfected after thousands or tens of thousands of practice was completed.
Without hesitation, I contracted the muscles in my body and threw the javelin I was holding in my hand.
Sweet-!
A sound cut through the air.
Evolutionary species with 3 or 4 stars were those that absorbed at least five or six times more magical power than the existing evolutionary species.
It’s basic to have enough intelligence to be able to perform a systematic pincer attack.
Physical ability is fast enough to exceed the cognitive ability of the same player.
So, from the beginning, I threw a javelin with all my might.
The power of the javelin flying while making a sharp noise was never to be seen lightly.
After becoming a silver player, I was able to shatter marbles with just my grip.
In fact, the javelin that flew while rotating strongly did not stop even when it encountered obstacles.
He crumbled the edge of a tree in the movement line and went his own way.
So, I came close to the evolutionary species that was trying to spur the ground again.
“Tsk.”
The results were not good.
It was because the evolutionary species twisted its upper body so quickly that an afterimage was left behind.
The javelin I threw failed to pierce the target and missed the target in vain.
It would have been nice if he had started after the injury.
‘It can’t be helped.’
I felt sorry for him, but I quickly brushed it off.
From now on, I have to deal with someone more dangerous than me, but thinking about things is a luxury.
It wasn’t long after I let go of my thoughts, and the overall appearance of the evolutionary species was revealed.
