Chapter 268
[Proofreader Demon God]
[Intrusion into the territory of the Zojin race during the Pioneer Protection period. The Conflict Suppression debuff is applied. All attributes decrease by 70%.]
[The Zojin race receives the Pioneer Protection buff. They receive a buff that doubles their attributes against invaders.]
[The debuff is lifted when outside the territory of the Zojin race.]
[*Note: You are a leader. If you die here, the entire race will be eliminated from the league competition.]
Thud! Thud!
Seong Jihan indifferently watched the messages pouring in and kept moving forward.
My body feels quite heavy.
Only able to use 30% of his usual strength.
Until a moment ago, he could summon up to five Celestial Judgments, but now even two seemed impossible.
Meanwhile,
Intruders from humanity? Thats the fourth-ranked race.
Coming here alone Hes got some nerve.
Lets tear him apart and feast on his flesh right away!
Dont you remember the last match? He might be as powerful as an elf. Call our kin who were out there!
Hey! The buffs and debuffs have already been applied, so why bother against one guy!
Whiff! Whiff!
Some Zojin flew swiftly towards Seong Jihan.
The recently sped-up Zojin Tribe had been fully reaping the benefits from their doubled stats.
Ill eat that humans eyes first!
The golden-winged bird-headed human arrived before the others.
Seong Jihan looked at him and widened his eyes slightly.
He was the one who ranked first among the Zojin race in the future.
Although he couldnt recall his name, he was quite a powerful warrior among the Zojin race.
But in the past life of Seong Jihan, he had been defeated several times.
Later on, he always said, I wont fight you! and fled into the sky whenever Seong Jihan appeared.
I should instill fear in him earlier than before.
Swooooosh
Eclipse arose from Seong Jihans left arm,
Fundamental Divine Art, Triad of Martial Mastery -Total Annihilation Horizontal Sweep
What!
The golden Zojin sensed the sword energy approaching and put up his spear for defense, but
Whoooosh!
The spear shattered, along with his upper body, and fell to the ground.
And then,
What the
Under debuff how could
The Zojin following behind him were instantly cut down as well, falling to the ground split at the waist.
Doomed to die and log out with their bodies split in two by a single swing of Seong Jihans sword.
Seong Jihan annihilated five Zojin with one strike.
What incredible power!
Truly, they belong to the 4th rank race!
Hes no ordinary adversary. But we have no need to approach him, attack from a distance!
Dont get close!
The Zojin Tribe was shocked at Seong Jihans single strike and became highly cautious, but
Its definitely weaker.
Seong Jihan was not satisfied with his attack; he originally aimed to wipe out all the Zojin in the sky at once.
The reach of the Horizontal Sweep fell short of reaching them.
But they pose no real threat.
Even though the enemy was buffed, and he was debuffed, the gap in actual strength was far too wide to be bridged.
Attack!
Hsssssst!
The sky unleashed wind-based attack spells and arrows, aiming fiercely at him, but
Sssssss
As Eclipse turned into a Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods, all the assaults were sucked in.
One swirling wisp of dark energy resisted the entirety of the Zojins retaliation.
Seong Jihan put strength into his foot,
Lets end this quickly.
Crackle! Crackle!
Electric current flowed beneath his foot, and instantly, his silhouette vanished from the spot.
Wheres that human
Here! Over here! Argh!
Swoosh!
For the Zojin, it was the beginning of a nightmare.
* * *
What, what is this guy!
The leader of the Zojin race narrowed his eyes.
Clearly, according to the system message, it was the Pioneer Protection period.
Yet, a member of the Humanity race, currently ranked fourth, was ruthlessly cutting down his kin.
Ki, Kiik!
That guy, hes stronger than the elves!
He definitely received a buff doubling his attributes!
Swoosh!
Despite being significantly empowered by the systems buff,
Every time the faceless human swung his sword, the Zojin were split in half and tumbled down helplessly.
From 500 summoned, now fewer than 100 of their kin remained in the numbers.
The Zojin First Guild members swiftly flew to their leader in desperation.
Guild Master, we need to retreat
If the leader gets caught, were immediately disqualified!
Well try to hold them back!
Understood!
Only one remained.
Despite the humiliation of retreating from just one debuffed human,
When considering the kin in the league crawling in last place, they had to endure the disgrace and survive.
Humanity well distance ourselves from this monstrous race and reclaim our territory! We must avoid finishing last!
Flap! Flap!
The golden-winged Zojin hurriedly fled,
Meanwhile, cries of their kin echoed continuously from behind him.
Pretending not to hear, he flew on earnestly until
Zzzt!
Ugh!
As his golden wings were ripped off, the leader looked back with trembling eyes to see the faceless human races entity, wrapped in currents of red electricity, standing there.
So, youre the leader.
No, not me!
Who else could it be? Everyone else is dead.
What?
Confounded by Seong Jihans words, the Zojin leader questioned,
Go.
As the point of Eclipse trembled.
Swoosh!
His head fell from the sky to the ground.
[Special achievement, Early Elimination of Competitive Pioneers, achieved.]
[Youve acquired 1,000,000 achievement points.]
[Special achievement, Early Extinction of Pioneers as a Sole Individual, achieved.]
[Youve acquired 3,000,000 achievement points.]
Despite being in the Pioneer Protection period and single-handedly annihilating the enemy, an enormous amount of achievement points flowed in.
[Youve acquired 3941 planet points.]
[Youve accumulated 100,000 planet points. No longer able to store more.]
[To collect more planet points, you must build a base camp.]
Now having reached the cap on Planet Points,
Its time to build that Base Camp.
As Seong Jihan finished his scouting in the north and was returning,
-After watching todays broadcast, Im convinced. The Zojin Tribe is indeed the foundation for humanitys worst rankings.
-They got sliced like nothing by Seong Jihan who couldnt even use 30 percent of his strength. LOL
The viewers were assessing the newly encountered race, the Zojin Tribe.
-But dont underestimate their flight abilities. Theyre not a weak race.
-Imagine fighting them without Seong Jihan in the air, wed be hopelessly played.
-Well, theyre weaker than dragons or elves anyway, right?
-?? If you look, its not humanity that won lol.
-Its not humanity that won, its Seong Jihan who won. Those two races
The Zojin Tribe, larger than humans and with wings enabling high-speed flight, seemed to be a stronger entity in BattleNet based on specs alone.
However, due to their encounter with Seong Jihan, gathering objective data about them had become difficult.
-Being too strong is also a problem lol. Cant analyze the enemy.
-But I hope he stays strong.
-For real No need to analyze. I just want Sir Seong Jihan to keep getting stronger until the end of the BattleNet.
-Thats it! Since he let our lowest race fly high he has to take responsibility to the end, right??
As the conclusion to rely on Seong Jihan formed amidst the ongoing analysis of the Zojin Tribe,
Oh. Uncles back!
Seong Jihan arrived in the human territory.
Earlier on, people had scattered for reconnaissance, but soon they had all regrouped, sorted by their respective guilds.
Why are you all gathered here? Werent you scouting?
Oh! We were also collecting points by fighting giant bugs then, suddenly, we hit the 100,000 cap. We returned for now.
Ah!
While exterminating the Zojin Tribe, the max Planet Points he acquired had likely applied to the entire race.
But I saw a message earlier. Didnt the Zojin Tribe get wiped out?
Thats right. Uncle, didnt you just set out to scout the north?
Thats true. But then I saw the rival race. Took care of them along the way.
We had trouble with just a few giant bugs, but uncle went and eradicated a whole race
Ah! They seemed a bit weak. Likely to linger at the bottom.
Seong Jihan nonchalantly rated the Zojin Tribe and walked towards the center of the human territory,
where another message began to appear.
[Will you construct the Base Camp?]
[10,000 Planet Points are required.]
[The race humanity has disqualified the rival race, Zojin Tribe.]
[Investing another 10,000 Planet Points in the Base Camp will allow you to utilize the Zojin Tribes colonization feature Skyborne.]
[Would you like to invest more Planet Points?]
Skyborne? Does it have something to do with flight ability? Since the Planet Points were at the max anyway,
Seong Jihan decided to use them in humanitys Base Camp.
As he confirmed his choice,
Rumble!
The ground split, and soon a contemporary high-rise building emerged.
Oh. Here I thought wed get something for the Base Camp
Wow!! A building has been built!
And at the same time,
The split ground transformed into a concrete surface.
Between the desert planet, the hub of the urban area alone looked as if cut out from Earths downtown.
[The Skyborne attribute is activated.]
However, the buildings embedded in the ground soon,
Whooom
floated up, converting into a floating base camp.
[Humanitys territory expands even further.]
[Detecting native life forms and rival races becomes faster.]
[It also becomes easier for rival races to locate the Base Camp.]
Clearly advantageous and disadvantageous traits of the Zojin Tribes Skyborne attribute.
In any case, expanding our territory is what matters.
Seong Jihan saw more benefit than detriment.
Now, what to build next?
80,000 Planet Points remained.
As he pondered where to invest,
-Customer~! The packaging of the bio-robots is complete! Shall I open the trading window?
He received a message from Artemus.
-Really? Itll cost 100 billion GP, right?
-Thats right! The bio-robots will greatly reduce the points needed for your races base camp construction. Collecting planet points is quite a headache but they will significantly lessen the initial expenditure.
-It was accumulating quickly though?
-Even so, its only been an hour since the game started You wouldnt have been able to gather enough for a base camp yet.
-No. I wiped out a race and hit the 100,000 MAX.
-Ridiculous Is that even possible during the Pioneer Protection period?
Artemus didnt believe Seong Jihans message.
-If they just reduce initial expenditures, I dont need them, the bio-robots.
-Wa-wait a moment! Wait!
As Seong Jihan attempted to withdraw his intent to purchase, Artemus hastily intervened.
-The usefulness of the bio-robots isnt just limited to that! If the base camp really gets constructed as you say Resource extraction! Automatic resource extraction is possible!
-Resource extraction?
-Yes! The value of the resources obtained from the planet colonization map! Thats where we greatly evolved our dwarves!
-Alright. Open the trading window.
Although he was hesitant to buy if it was only for a discount on planet points, since there was utility in resource extraction, Seong Jihan decided to make the purchase.
And so, the summoned bio-robot dwarves scattered around.
[Resource obtained: Seven Hearts of the Indigenous Species.]
[The vitality of the Human race is slightly enhanced.]
What?
He received an entirely unexpected reward.
