Episode 65-Phase (5)
“I guess the repairs are all done.”
“That’s right. Thanks to you, I have to finish what I was making tomorrow, but I finished it quickly anyway.”
“You worked hard.”
The point at which the sun has set. Varun, who was standing in the center of the village, saw Maureen and the transporters returning from work.
Using their awakened abilities, they repaired all the damaged walls within a day.
“Once we complete the large warehouse we are currently building, how about changing the floor?”
“You mean the floor?”
“When it rains, the road turns into mud and becomes difficult to use. But when I went to another world by His grace. “It looked comfortable because the floor was paved with stones.”
Varun suggested that they, now fully skilled architects, consider paving the village floor.
It was a sound based on the paved roads in the village when I went to the Dark Blood world. Then the eyes of Maureen and others who had never seen a paved road before widened.
“How can you do that…”
“Don’t you think you can make it? “It’s not enough for miners to dig up the ground and fill it with stones.”
As Maureen scratched her head, another transporter lifted the bag of stone blocks he was carrying on his back and said, as if he had remembered something.
A miner digs and fills the inside. It was definitely a very easy and simple task.
“I’ll give it a try.”
“Please. “I plan to first install it in this central square and, if it works well, expand it.”
Maureen, who got a sense of what he said, nodded. Because they had no reason to refuse. Of course, even though they were physically tired, all of this work was an act of gratitude to themselves and the tribe, and further to the guardian spirit who gave them strength.
There was no one in this village who would disparage or criticize the labor that was offered to God.
“By the way, are you waiting for Riena?”
“She hasn’t arrived yet. It’s rare for me to come this late. Even though I got quite a bit done today.”
The point at which all the transporters have returned. Kun, who was moving together, carefully asked Varun about Riena. Now is the time when everyone who was active outside has finished their activities and is resting. But Riena has not come yet. I was worried that the person who had taken care of my condition was holding on to me for this long.
“I can sleep only when she comes.”
Varun waited for Riena. Both as a tribal leader and as a father. In fact, right now, Riena was fighting against the enemies with all her might.
“Trip-in! “It’s an intruder!”
“Move quickly!”
A world in a game that is just like reality. Here too, the background was a dark night.
Here, just two beings attacked the church’s castle, which was the center of the city and the order itself.
Of course, an emergency order was issued, and priests and paladins within the church rushed in.
‘It’s getting worse.’
Liena, who immediately caught everyone’s attention, went to the front like a close-quarters warrior, took the enemy’s attacks, counterattacked, and moved forward without hesitation. The Holy Knights within the church had different energy from those they met on the outside.

This was because their divine power, which had already been corrupted by the devil, was contaminated and twisted.
‘…We have to make it right.’
Gritting her teeth, her sword glowed, and she struck a powerful blow, cutting down all the fallen paladins at once. Even when another frightened paladin attacked her with a shield, the heavy steel sword she threw out as she advanced step by step instantly broke the shield and knocked the opponent down.
Her growth ability is so dazzling that it is surprising that he supports her with magic behind the scenes. It means that you have surpassed a normal player.
Considering how many different enemies she had cut down not only in this game, but in many places, it was actually a surprising growth rate.
‘I think he’s angry about something. Are you annoyed because I made you work overtime?’
As he watched this scene beyond the screen, he flinched for no reason. He recognized and misunderstood the heavy sincerity contained in each of Riena’s attacks.
‘There is no meaningless fight. This battle is also a practice for me.’
Riena wasn’t angry at him for not letting her go today. He simply immersed himself in it by acting as a chosen hunter who punishes evil that causes division and conflict.
She recalled the words spoken in passing by an old paladin who had been kicked out of a corrupt church: Evil is with you inside. According to that, the demons that appear in this world were not the only evils she had to deal with.
Bugs that try to harm them in reality, hostile tribes that are their enemies. And with that revenge as an opportunity, the anger that stirs in his heart. Everyone realized that this was an enemy they had to deal with.
So, the performance at this moment is the performance in reality.
It was not a lesson that an illiterate tribe member could have learned, but as an inexperienced warrior with a thirst for revenge, she came here and learned it.
“Stop! How dare the evil heretic live here…aaagh!”
Soon, the mid-boss of the chapter and today’s target, Corrupt Priest Law, appeared. However, Riena, who cut down all the paladins guarding in front of her, became a single tank and rushed straight at Law.
Law, who appeared with a dignified expression, believing in the power that had increased through the contract with the devil, was frightened and waved his hands when Riena rushed at him with flashing blue eyes.

‘It’s refreshing. As if I had some kind of bug.’
Actually I didn’t do anything. At best, she used magic to snipe those she couldn’t deal with at once, or assisted with long-distance attacks.
When mid-boss Law appeared, I saw that Riena’s stamina was weak and tried to stop her, but failed.
This is because she rushed forward without hesitation and struck first. However, when I saw that blow, I stopped trying to force it to end.
“What a monster!”
The screaming Law must have been afraid of Riena, so instead of saying the set lines, he completely ignored the set pattern and used his special move from the beginning.
Tentacles like black tree roots protruding from all directions attacked her. However, Riena cut them all down with a series of slashes, and then decapitated Law, whose eyes were wide open.
A 5-second cut of a mid-boss that ignores things like HP. It’s a sight that, if uploaded as a video, will only be criticized as a bugged play.
‘I haven’t even completed the sub-quest? Did you receive recognition for something you played today?
After killing the corrupt priest who betrayed God, sacrificed people, and even unleashed the power of the devil to resist, she stood in front of the priest’s corpse and looked up at the sky.
I too was impressed when I saw it. Perhaps it was recognition of her achievement of killing a mid-boss with a single sword, or recognition of her feelings, because something that originally could not have appeared here has appeared once again.
[Heavenly Protection/Light of Judgment]
The blessings from heaven dwelled in her body. Riena looked at me with a bewildered expression as she saw the light coming into her heart.
Riena was slowly becoming a true paladin.
“no. That’s all for today.”
It seemed like if she left it any longer, she would go deep inside where her boss, the Bishop, was. Muttering to myself, I returned the village to Riena, who was breathing heavily and looking back at me at the scene where only miserable corpses were rolling around.
Looking at it, it looks like the boss of Chapter 2 can be easily defeated by her hands. However, just in case an emergency arises, I thought it would be right to deal with her after she rested, as she was now exhausted.
‘It’s going to come anyway, but if I hadn’t sent him alive then.’
Including Varun, who took Riena, who arrived in an exhausted state. I laughed bitterly as I looked at the desktop, which had become quiet as most of the residents were asleep.
A warrior from a hostile tribe who barely survived a hammer attack.
I tried to bring someone from the village to end his life, but by the time I switched screens, he had already fled to an unknown land right next to me that I couldn’t go to.
I don’t know when that will happen, but I was planning on continuing what I was doing before they came back.
You might think they are tired of the constant incidents, but the residents, many of whom had just joined, were full of energy and passion.
The addition of these people reduces the burden on existing residents, and as a result, residents develop quickly and tirelessly without feeling chased or urgent.
This is all thanks to the increase in numbers. Varun, who was convinced that he needed to increase his power, was right.
“Do you have time?”
-sure.
I tried to contact Soyeon Lee first in my spare time.
As expected, she also seemed to be sitting in front of the computer until this late at night.
“It’s gotten a lot cleaner.”
“I called the company. “It took some time because there were some repairs that needed to be done, but it will be available in two or three days.”
next day. This time, wearing the cloak of a hermit, I met Lee So-yeon again in the morning. The office she created is now starting to take shape. The old, neglected building looked new.
“Rather than a full-scale business, I want to dispose of the loot. “I would like to get help.”
“Wow, this is…”
She burst into laughter when I showed her the gold items I had brought in my bag. Gold coins that look old even at first glance. They were out-of-this-world items whose origins could not be revealed.
No matter how great her family is, would they be able to dispose of such items?
“Let’s try.”
“really?”
“I may get some nagging, but my older brother can solve it.”
However, contrary to my expectations, she said that it could be resolved without much difficulty. I was a little surprised because it felt like I was actually seeing a scene I had only seen in dramas.
Perhaps sensing my gaze, she said that since the source was ‘clear’, she could dispose of it without much burden by entrusting it to someone with connections.
Literally, these items just came out of the ground…no, from inside the monitor, and they didn’t steal anyone’s items.
“By the way, a lvl 5 glitch has already appeared?”
“What is coming out of there that is why you are reacting like that?”
“I’m now at the stage where a large number of lvl 3 players are appearing.”
“You joined later than me, so maybe it’s only natural.”
After that, we changed the topic of conversation for our own reasons and talked about bugs and glitches.
I told her about the most recent lvl 5 glitch that left me out of my larval or hatchling form. The lvl 5 glitch was something that Lee So-yeon had not seen yet.
“As expected, is it getting stronger? Then eventually, someday, the residents will stop growing.”
“If you think about it with common sense, it would be so.”
When she told me to prepare for it and be careful because there were flying bugs and glitches, I listened to her mutter seriously and agreed.
They keep getting stronger. I didn’t know the standards or speed yet, but it was an undeniable fact that I was getting stronger and growing.
