’

The fairy indeed did not lie.

Since it was clear that this was a land of opportunity.

‘It’s coming.’

Hansoo looked at the sky.

And soon after, the fairy appeared.

The fairy which had appeared suddenly above the castle.

‘Can’t it just p.i.s.s of…’

Everyone in the castle frowned as the fairy appeared.

The fairy greeted everyone as it saw their looks.

“Hi everyone! Aww, Don’t frown like that. I’m not here to lay my hands on you.”

“…”

“If you look at me with such distrustful eyes then you’ll hurt me. I’m just here to tell you something which I didn’t tell you about. It’s not much. If the crystal gets crushed then the whole island will fall. Well. It won’t fall right away. It’ll fall slowly in about 10 to 20 days.”

“…”

There wasn’t much shock between the people.

Since they had expected as such.

The fact that they had to protect it with all their strength did not change.

The fairy spoke as it looked at these people.

“The actual important part is the second part. You were all comfortable so far right? The undead is… well, just child’s play. This team defended better than I thought. The demons will start coming out on this third day!”

“…f.u.c.k.”

Everybody cursed as they looked at the fairy.

That son of a fly was like a messenger of destruction.

There wasn’t a bit of good news whenever it opened its mouth.

The fairy made a slightly hurt expression at those words but then opened its mouth again.

“You guys are too much. Don’t you realize how good of a news that the demons are coming out is? This is a really rare chance for you guys!”

“…”

Everyone looked at the fairy at those words.

The fairy did mention it before.

That there were extravagant rewards.

But even then it would be all over if they died.

“It isn’t some c.r.a.ppy rune or artifact. If you kill the Demons then a mini-crystal comes out. Hehee.”

“…?”

“If you collect the Mini-Crystals then you can trade it for a really good artifact! It is much better than the ones you have. It’s obvious that the reward would be better the more you collect right? Look at the catalogue in your pocket for those. By the way there aren’t many demons, you need to try harder than the others in order to get the crystals”

Everyone made a sour expression.

Even if they had such things, it would merely be pearls on a pig’s neck.

And how would they collect enough from the bits the demons dropped to trade it for an artifact when there’s thousands of people?

They might not be able to lay their hands on one after a whole month.

Even if they did lay their hands on it, only the Clan Lords would do so.

‘And the thing that that thing will throw at us won’t be weak.’

As the people made sour expressions, the Fairy added another thing.

“Oh. I didn’t say this yet. There’s another use for the crystal.”

“…?”

“As long as you have the crystal, you can leave this island to go to the island above at anytime. Isn’t it a really good privilege? The people with it won’t need to care if everybody dies either from falling after the crystal gets shattered or from being invaded by demons right? A total of five people can move on. Heehee.”

No matter if that giant crystal broke or not.

No matter if the defense line broke apart or not.

They can escape this dangerous situation to a different island at any time.

Which meant that this was a privilege equal to a life.

Everyone’s expressions changed at these words.

The story was different then.

The fairy smiled as it looked at everyone’s expressions.

“You get it? About how important of an existence the Demons are? Be strong everyone. One demon coming your way for today!”

And the fairy disappeared as a beastly looking otherworldly existence started to slowly approach them.

Everyone started to calculated their risks.

There wasn’t enough information yet.

They didn’t know how strong the Demon was and they also didn’t know how the others would act.

But one thing was clear.

That it was better to get it before others do.

They didn’t charge in first but they had no thoughts of missing this chance.

Since it wouldn’t matter if they just kill the person who obtained it as soon as they get it.

Everyone knew that the best scenario was to attack them as the one who charged it was was about to kill it so everyone stood still while standing close to each other. [*PR Note: Kill Steal!]

Hansoo shook his head as he looked at this scene.

‘It starts now.’

A different name for the Central Island that attracted people below with its sweet runes and artifacts.

If you disregard the people who went up using the crystals then the survival rate here was 8%.

And this was only when the defense is successful. Since they would all die if they fail.

And this was all because of that d.a.m.nable Crystal.

‘I must take it so n.o.body uses it’

If five die in order to attain it and another five go up using it, then 5 more will die from lack of numbers.

Which meant in conclusion, five will live and ten will die.

It was not an object that should be allowed to be set free.

And at the same time it was something he needed to collect.

‘I will collect it and exchange it for

.’

Hansoo walked forward after looking at the others for a while and everyone’s eyes shone at Hansoo’s back instead of the Demon’s.
