Chapter 461: Battle (5)

Originally, I had already planned to take them to the Myongjin Shelter.

However, while I was moving, I heard about the ‘Energy of Despair’ from executive director Sungyop Yu of the Mirae Guild, so I was all the more determined to take all of them to the Myongjin Shelter. Even though the rain had yet to stop, their ark was now useless

What about 50,000 members of the Mirae Guild?

Of course, they numbered a lot, but we had no problem with accommodating them.

While other guilds and groups focused on securing ships and boats to carry their members, the Myongjin Shelter paid attention to more productive activities.

In other words, we had enough space for housing 50,000 Mirae Guild members.

I couldn’t deny that I was selfish and heartless in the way I looked at them, but in any case, all of them raised their reality actualization rate. Their individual levels were different, but their arrival at the Myongjin Shelter was not necessarily a bad thing.

As the saying ‘Many hands make light work’ goes, they would be able to stall for time, even if they can’t defeat the enemy, in an emergency or unexpected situation.

Anyway, I knew I was being selfish and heartless, but I stopped thinking about it, and kept moving with them because of my longtime association with and sympathy for Bora as my childhood friend.

Soon we reached the place near the Myongjin Shelter.

Normally it wouldn’t take me a few minutes or even a few seconds to get there, but it took me a little more time this time because I had to move with a significant number of people, namely, the Mirae Guild members.

But the problem arose after I arrived at the Myongjin Shelter.

[Since you set foot on the Land of Despair, your traces remain there.

– Your traces will remain for 5 hours.

– It is impossible to get out of the Land of Despair while the trace is maintained.

-Once your traces disappear after 5 hours, you will leave no trace for 30 minutes even if you step on the Land of Despair again.

-You can get out of the Land of Despair within those 30 minutes, but if you are still in the Land of Despair after 30 minutes, your traces will come back for 5 hours.]

It didn’t matter to me at all whether it was the ‘Land of Despair’ or the ‘Trace’ or the ‘Energy of Despair’, but it was a big problem for others.

So I had to forcibly stop them from moving on right in front of the Myongjin Shelter.

Of course, it was only 5 hours, not a lifetime.

And given the time that passed before I met up with them, there was only about 4 hours left. Even so, I didn’t like this kind of situation because it’s me who reached out and led them to the Myongjin Shelter.

Whatever the reason, I didn’t want to leave invited guests standing outside.

Of course, no one seemed to notice what I was thinking at the moment.

They were just staring with admiration at the gigantic roots waving around the Myongjin Shelter.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

In the meantime, the roots have grown a lot. And if I had to choose one reason for their spectacular growth, it was none other than their absorption of the Denayan wood shards.

Because of that, I saw a series of messages that said the roots had succeeded in establishing a foothold to overcome their limitations and grow further, and that they had grown hugely. In fact, they grew in size as well as power tremendously.

Actually ,I have done nothing to help them grow for the past one month.

Be they those from the Rookie Districts or Major Districts, those who approached the Myongjin Shelter could not withstand the attack of the roots that had become much stronger than before.

Anyway, the white roots and other root bundles came out and waved energetically right before the eyes of the Mirae Guild members. Of course, that wasn’t strange to me at all. In fact, even before they absorbed Denayan’s wood shards, the roots had appeared after penetrating the ‘Land of Despair.’ But as if they didn’t like it, the roots dug into the ground again and appeared in the bare ground without the Land of Despair.

But this time I heard quite a strange noise. It sounded like something was being torn apart.

Obviously, I saw nothing with my eyes, but I heard the sound of something being torn apart so many times. In the meantime, a bundle of roots appeared in the Land of Despair and lifted up some of the Mirae Guild members. They then carried them over the wall of roots surrounding the Myongjin Shelter and safely carried them inside.

At that moment, I heard the Mirae Guild members talking to each other.

“I heard a message that our traces disappeared!”

“Me too!”

“I also just heard that message. And I also heard the message that we could get out of the Land of Despair!”

Their conversation gave me an idea of what the situation was.

In other words, the roots got rid of the traces of the Mirae Guild members and carried them out of the Land of Despair.

After that, I kept hearing the sound of something being torn apart endlessly, and each time,the Mirae Guild members were taken inside the Myongjin Shelter by the bundle of roots.

Since 50,000 members was not a small number, I contacted the Myongjin leadership. Soon my father, mother and Director Sok came out to watch the roots transporting them into the Myongjin Shelter.

“Thanks for coming here.”

“Thank you, Chairman Hong.”

My father became the chairman of the Myongjin Group at a relatively young age due to my grandfather’s early death. Compared to him, Mirae Group;s Chairman Yon was quite old. Nonetheless, Chairman Yon bowed his head to my father to express his gratitude.

After that, the roots continued to move the Mirae Guild members into the Myongjin Shelter for about 10 minutes. When all 50,000 people were moved inside, we traveled to the center of the Myongjin Shelter.

And Bora Yon traveled alongside my mother and sister.

***

The next day, our usual breakfast was different because we were joined by Chairman Yon and his daughter Bora, in addition to the regulars: I, my father, my mother, my brother and his wife, and my sister. And the atmosphere of our breakfast session was quite bright.

Of course, there was a reason why it was like this.

Last night, Chairman Yon spoke to the 50,000 members after they took a brief break.

[This is the Myongjin Shelter, and we are definitely guests who owe our lives to them. So, don’t act arrogantly and recklessly. Just remember that Chairman Sangman Hong and Juyoung Hong’s words, orders and leadership are as effective as mine. And even if what they say or order is different to me, just follow them. Got it?]

“Yes, sir!”

“Understood!”

“Sure!”

Since there was no single place big enough for 50,000 in the first, second, and third main bases of the shelter, they had to be organized and placed in the outer buildings. And those who were already housed in the shelter could watch over them.

But Chairman Yon gave up his authority, which had big implications on the Mirae Guild members.action
