Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 211: Oizuki Brothers (4)

“Damn it! My health is draining so quickly…”

When I was hunting monsters, my AOE skills were the best because monsters didn’t usually run away.

Of course, the Cunning Vampires were an exception.

However, my instant damage skills were much more effective in attacking users compared to AOE skills since they usually ran outside the range of the AOE skills to avoid its damage.

However, my AOE skill had a wider range of application than any other user’s AOE skill. Besides, I could sustain it for a long time. And it was so powerful that it didn’t allow the enemies to escape outside the AOE range. Of course, this was just limited to ice-type skills.

But my ice-type skills were not limited to Blizzard.

Puck! Puck!

“Kheeeeek!”

“Kuckkkk!

I also swung the +5 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword toward the nearby enemies freely.

Honestly, when it was level 0, it only buffed strength and agility, not intellect. It also boasted of an overwhelmingly high physical attack power compared to its magic attack power.

In other words, the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword could be called a physical attack weapon if one had to classify it. In fact, it wasn’t a stick, but a sword that I used to stab and cut at a close range. But it also provided a small damage buff for ice-type skills.

However, because of the traits of ‘IceMan,’ I knew how powerful even a small increase in the power of all ice-type skills was.

Moreover, the sword also provided a cooldown reduction buff to all ice-type skills.

So, I chose it as my exclusive weapon without any further thought.

In addition, the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword also had one more powerful option in addition to the additional frostbite damage.

It was an option that inflicted tenfold damage with a 1% chance.

Of course, this was also limited to ice-type skills, but applied to all of them regardless of whether they were AOE or instant damage skills.

“Argh!”

“Damn it!”

It seemed that some of the enemies who were at the very edge of Blizzard’s strike range were out of luck. They collapsed without even being able to move a single meter.

Anyway, I steadily reduced the number of enemies in the distance with my AOE skills, and killed the ones in close range with the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

Of course, I used other skills as well.

“Multiple Ice Arrows! Ice Bolt! Ice Ball!”

Ice Field reinforced with Thin Ice was still applied on the battlefield, and Blizzard was on cooldown. So I used those skills with little cooldown because I had to manage my cooldowns.

And that was enough because the attacked enemies were almost dead.

Anyway, these couple of minutes I spent on the battlefield completely changed the tide of the fight because all the shouts and screams that filled the battlefield before completely disappeared.

At the Mirae Guild camp.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Not only Chairman Yon and his daughter Bora but also Director Yu and the other top Mirae executives were speechless at Asirante’s spectacular performance on the battlefield.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones who were shocked. The same was true of the normal Mirae Guild members.

At that moment, cheering erupted from the Myongjin Camp, which soon spread to the Mirae Guild members, for just looking at the powerful friendly force boosted their morale to an all time high.

“Asirante!”

“Asirante!”

“Asirante!”

Their spontaneous chants of Asirante began to spread across the whole battlefield.

In the Mitsuya Guild’s camp.

“Oh my God…”

Chairman Ryu Sechi cleared his throat before he knew it.

Of course, he knew how powerful Asirante was.

In fact, these days there were numerous videos circulating of Asirante visiting the main bases of the guilds in Japan and tearing them apart.

However, when he witnessed Asirante’s performance this time, Chairman Ryu had no choice but to smack his lips bitterly because Asirante was clearly stronger than he thought.

Then, he glanced back and immediately made eye contact with two guys.

He gently nodded at them. Then the two passed by the chairman and stepped right before Asirante.

In the central battlefield.

Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!

The more I fought, the more I felt something.

‘Wow, I’m really strong.’

Of course, the enemies also persistently resisted and kept attacking me.

Obviously, this was only a game. Even if they perished, they would receive only a 24-hour access ban penalty and a slight drop in their EXP, along with an increase in the number of deaths in the status window.

However, to be able to attack me, they needed to first withstand my attacks.

If they wanted to attack me, they needed to move within the striking range.

However, it was impossible for them to withstand my Ice Field and other attacks properly, so they retreated after trying to attack me a couple of times or just died helplessly.

On the contrary, I continued to attack them.

Although my skill points were insufficient, I saved those skills with almost no cooldown for this kind of fight.

‘By the way, it seems like it was good that I didn’t upgrade Ice Field to level 7.’

Even though I could upgrade Ice Field from level 5 to level 7, I didn’t. Of course, my skill points were insufficient back then.

But I could spread Ice Field all over the place right now at short intervals because its level was low.

Of course, the enemies didn’t sit idle.

They used all kinds of AOE skills to break my Ice Field.

However, I had laid down enough ice to maintain the ice terrain, so I could maintain the buff on my combat power.

At that moment, two men came into view. They caught my eye because they were particularly calm unlike others.

They entered my attack range without hesitation, so I immediately attacked them.

But a message rang first.

[Trait: You can’t wear items because of the Item Master’s curse.]

[Trait: You can’t use skills because of the Skill Master’s curse.]

It was such an absurd message.

At the same time, the two people spoke.

“Hi. I’m the elder brother Oizuki. Item master is my trait.”

“Hi. I’m the younger brother Oitsuki. Skill master is my trait.”

They happily greeted me.

So I opened my mouth with a smile on my lips, hiding my feelings as if I was not startled at all.

“Hi. I am Asirante. My trait is to eat cucumbers deliciously.”

Honestly, it was my first absolute crisis.

But I didn’t want to be pushed around by them from the beginning.

There are a few things that I admit are my weakness.

For example, during the time I turned to games as a form of escapism since I retained nothing from studying even though I tried very hard, I encountered a popular rhythm game.

The rhythm game consisted of a total of thirty rounds, and the first round was meant to be easy enough for a beginner to clear. But I couldn’t even clear the first round many times.

Of course, it was the same with most matching block games and fighting games.

Most of the time, I would gain some experiences and skills while playing such games continuously for a few days.
