ACT 4 Start of a Long Festival

Surround the assault troops and attack!

Wah ah ah ah!

Hundreds of Nakujuk rushed forward at the command. Swords, spears and arrows flew like a shower towards a huge presence shaped like a giant lion.The golden lion radiated an overwhelming presence which reached over dozens of metres and covered the Nakujuk.

Kuaaang! Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

The golden lion roared and slammed its paw into the ground, causing the earth to tear and shake.Where the paw pressed against the ground, 10 Nakujuk were crushed instantly.It was an intense feeling of overwhelming power!But it couldnt exert its full power thanks to the number of opponents. Despite being stepped on and crushed, the Nakujuk continued attacking. Some brave Nakujuk climbed the body of the golden lion and slashed it with their spears.The golden lions body was covered with a fur stronger than steel which functioned as its armour. The spears that hit only did 20~30 damage at most.However, there were hundreds of Nakujuk surrounding the lion.Even though each person only did 20~30 damage, it combined together to reach 5000~8000 damage. Thanks to that, the golden lion was in dreadful shape but it still hadnt lost its fighting spirit.

It really is a bastard. It has already been 30 minutes since the battle started. In the meantime, more than 300000 have been damaged

The man inside an armour with an eerie pattern embossed on it shook his head.Then an old man wearing a hood said.

This is one of the guys who once drove back the forces of darkness. This much is natural.

The forces of darkness?

Thats right. Rather, its quite weak now compared to then.Maybe its because the dimension is different. You probably feel it too. Here mana recovers several times slower than on middle earth.

Come to think of it

He abruptly stopped and confirmed his mana.He had previously used 50% of his mana.Usually it would take 15~20 minutes tops to recover.But now he had only recovered up to 75%.His mana recovery was two times slower than when he was on middle earth.

That is because your source of mana is far away.From the moment that monster was born, its existence had breathed in mana. Although it isnt much, that lessening of mana density caused its power to weaken. If this was middle earth where the mana density is doubled then I wouldnt have dared fight it using this number of Nakujuk. Were fortunate.

The old man raised his hood and laughed.The old man covered in wrinkles looked a hundred years old! The old man holding a stick of bones was the archbishop of the Asyeosu church, Maseutyu.And the knight wearing the black armour was Alan.

Then it would be many times stronger in middle earth?

Alan stared at the gold lion with surprised eyes after hearing Maseutyus explanation.Currently Alan was in the dimension called Scale.Two months before Alan came to Scale, he had met Maseutyu and changed jobs to a Ruin Knight after swearing revenge on Ark.In the meantime, he had been improving his capabilities because he acknowledged that Ark was a powerful opponent. After learning the special skills of a Ruin Knight, his confidence had increased and then the Red Man appeared in front of Alan.Then the Red Man told Alan some amazing secrets about New World. After revealing the secrets, the Red Man had asked for Alans help. After thinking for a while, Alan had accepted.Although the Red Mans ultimate goal was unknown, he decided to cooperate since Ark was their enemy.The Red Mans first command was to make the Scale dimension rise to middle earth. In order for Alan to achieve this, the Red Man created a spatial-temporal tunnel to allow him to enter Scale.

Scale was originally an area which belong to middle earth. But when the Dark Lord triggered his final destruction magic, a number of areas controlled by the world trees sank. Just like Seutandal, if Scales world tree was resurrected then it could return to middle world. In other words, Alan had to resurrect Scales world tree!But Alan had bumped into a wall after he came to Scale.

I never thought it would be so difficult to cause a different dimension to rise

Alan hadnt known this until he heard Maseutyus words, but Yggdrasil and Yuzuria were the weakest among the world trees. After the Dark Lord used his final destruction magic, their weaker magic meant that they received less damage and didnt sink that far.However, there was still an undisclosed number of world trees. The deity who created the world was called the father and mother of the world. But when talking about the game settings, this was actually related to the episodes. The Scale dimension occurred in a later episode than Seutandal so the degree of difficulty was higher.The monsters in Scale had an average level of 400. Although it was rare, some level 500 monsters was also visible.But the problem was not the monsters.The biggest obstacle to Alans resurrection of the world tree was the guardian of the world tree.

It is a level 950 guardian monster, the Beast Dragon Baras!

Although the name was Beast Dragon Baras, it took the shape of a golden lion.Even though he used 50 Penetration scrolls, he barely found any information about it. But the Beast Dragon Baras was not a monster but a high ranking NPC.In other words, if Scale was recovered again then it would give quests to users instead of being an opponent. However, the NPCs reacted different to users depending on their alignment.Especially towards Alan who was a Ruin Knight.

-Foreigner, there is a dark smell coming from your body.There is an endless hatred towards the world within your body! I cant allow a scoundrel like you with evil intentions to approach the world tree!

The Beast Dragon Baras became hostile as soon as he saw Alan. But Maseutyu knew the secret of the world from the Red Man and already expected such a situation.When Alan had used the spatial-temporal tunnel to enter Scale, Maseutyu mobilized the Nakujuk who had sword allegiance to the Red Man. After the Beast Dragon saw through Alans identity, they attacked without hesitation.

-These guys..!

Kwaaaaah-! While Alan was recalling the past, the Beast Dragon had opened some huge wings and flew away.It judged that there were too many Nakujuk and that a ground battle would be disadvantageous. But that was the moment Alan had been waiting for.

Now! This is a chance for the strike force to stop his movements!

Although shouted towards the demonic beasts hiding behind the steep mountain slope. Dozens of winged demonic beasts flew towards the Beast Dragon and threw a black net over it.Despite causing a storm and trying to move upwards, the Beast Dragon was immobile! It was tangled in the black net and fell to the ground.

-The Beast Dragon Baras was caught in the net of corruption!

<The net will last for 10 minutes and consume 100 mana every 10 seconds. Movement speed and attack speed reduced by 30%>
