Chapter 304

Two days passed.

In the meantime, I was very busy. I thought Helena needed a break so I was doing her work. However, the amount of work surpassed my imagination. I hadn’t expected it to be so hard. She had been doing well all this time.

“Groan. Why is there so much work?”

I struggled with work all night. In the middle, I also checked on Solar who was awakening the phoenix’s egg. Punghee and Chunza went hunting together and leveled up. This allowed me to have the strange experience of my experience points spontaneously increasing while I was working. I leveled up once in the middle. Everything seemed to be going well, but there were also hardships.

[Metheus’ siege function is open!]

[From now on, Metheus can be invaded by enemies.]

[Currently, there is one castle that has applied for the siege.]

[The enemy army will soon invade.]

“......?”

I was dazzled by the sudden information. As far as I knew, there were many castles applying for the siege. Then not long ago, the video of me wiping out the enemies with Yeouicho was uploaded on the community, and they retreated one by one. Yet there was still one place left?

Ding ding ding ding!

Then the urgent ringing of the bell disturbed my ears. It was the bell that only rang when enemies or invaders appeared. This meant—

“An army is coming!”

“Enemies are coming!”

“Be prepared for an attack!”

The enemy had really invaded. The vicinity of the lord’s castle became noisy and I immediately got up to run outside. I called Jinny and was able to reach the outer wall in no time. There were quite a few troops lined up below, wearing silver armor and holding various weapons. There was a man who looked like the leader standing on horseback. Understandably, he was a user.

“Hahaha! You stupid Metheus soldiers!”

This rotten guy?

“My name is Darius! I will destroy Metheus today and spread my reputation through the Ark Continent! Dark Wolf is perfect to be the first sacrifice!”

“......”

I was speechless because the words were so ridiculous. At first glance, he seemed like a person who had no thoughts. To borrow the words of young people these days, he was ‘completely crazy.’

“Hmm. I came to see what stupid person it was. It is as I expected.”

I turned around at the voice and saw Leslie approaching me from behind, in light armor and with a sniper rifle. I looked at him and smiled slightly.

“You came, Commander-in-chief.”

Not long ago, I appointed Leslie as the commander-in-chief of Metheus. He was a NPC with enough power for the position and the last time I visited Fortren, Aren had granted permission. Behind him, Kerenos and the Sylphid Knights also arrived. The Karstein resistance members were each holding a gun and lined up behind Leslie.

Leslie gestured with his chin and asked, “Shoot?”

Leslie raised his sniper rifle with a smile. The enemy might be a large army of over 2,000, but it wasn’t that burdensome to fight because Metheus had steadily reinforced and raised its military under Helena’s direction. I shook my head. “No, I will fight alone.”

“Hmm?” Leslie cocked his head and Kerenos and the soldiers next to her reacted in the same manner. All eyes were on me.

I told them, “I have something I want to try.”

Simultaneously, I pulled out the Arrow of Time. It was obtained by killing Carlos of Brazil some time ago. In the past, I was almost beaten by this.

“Everyone, just watch.”

I jumped straight down from the high wall. The soldiers’ astonished cries were heard from behind me. Most of them shouted ‘My Lord!’ and their shocked faces were clear. However, I had the newly acquired ability Stepping on Clouds that was part of Flying Weather Dance.

I zigzagged through the clouds in the air and landed on the ground in an elegant posture. The NPCs led by Darius, the enemy leader, looked shocked. This was followed by roars from the top of the city wall.

“Wahhhhh!”

Shouts spread like wildfire and boosted the morale of the soldiers. I actually wasn’t hoping for this, but it was a good thing that the morale of the soldiers had risen.

“Keuk. Where are the archers? Shoot! Kill that old man first!”

I slowly stepped forward. Suddenly, the Arrow of Time floated next to me. The archers of the enemy army showed up and they were ready to shoot at me. At the same time, I frowned. “Ah, Mido said to turn on the broadcast if something like this happens.”

Mido told me to turn on the live broadcast if I had to fight in the future. Then the number of followers would always increase. Well, my followers were over 50,000 now.

“Hmm. Let’s see... is this it?”

[You have started live broadcasting.]

“That’s right.”

I chuckled and looked forward again. It was a live broadcast so a chat box popped up. I turned off the screen in front of me and focused on the situation.

“Fire!”

Arrows covered the sky in an instant. I moved the wind with my finger and turned the arrows in the opposite direction. It was a disaster. The enemies were damaged by the arrows that suddenly struck them.

“Crazy. What the hell is this freak of nature?”

What freak of nature? The weather was just crazy today.

* * *

At the North Pole, somewhere unnamed...

James had been with Mido, but changed ships in the middle. Then he headed straight to the North Pole. Upon arrival, he saw the spectacular view of the North Pole just like he had seen in the community. Diya, the village of the day, was generous to the humans who visited them. The beasts taught humans how to survive in the North Pole.

He couldn’t walk around for a long time due to the extreme cold. James bought herbs to overcome the cold, applied medicine to his body, and traveled around the North Pole. Honestly, there was only snow to see in the North Pole and James seemed tired of it.

News came that Diya and Nutscher would join together, but James had no great interest. In any case, he had obtained a total of five Star Fruits while traveling around the North Pole.

“...Sigh. I don’t think there are any more Star Fruits to find.”

According to the news, there were 12 light sources here. Considering that he had arrived a bit late, it was actually a miracle that he had obtained so many Star Fruits. Three of the ones he got now were obtained from ambushing and killing users. Perhaps the rest of the Star Fruits were already eaten by quick users.

“I should go back now.”

James made a decision and sent a whisper to Damian to tell him that it seemed that almost all the Star Fruits in the North Pole had been found, and to ask if he could come back. Damian’s reply was quick.

-Damian:You’ve worked hard in the meantime.Come back.Take care while coming back.

Damian’s words were heartfelt. He didn’t know what happened, but since the World Competition, it felt like Damian treated him better. In any case, it wasn’t a bad thing for James so he hoped this would continue.

“Eh?” James’ eyes shone. He was currently in the middle of a blizzard in the North Pole. Then Marksman’s Vision, his passive skill, showed a huge shadow.

‘An ice castle?’ 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Then a message arrived.

[The pistol star, ‘Desperado,’ says this is where a four seasons constellation lives.]

“A four seasons constellation? What is that...?”

Desperado kindly explained about the four seasons constellation. It was a short explanation. They were beings higher than Michael’s scorpion zodiac. Desperado said that there was a turtle called the tundra dragon living there. He was the strongest constellation of the ice system. Something called a turtle dragon. In any case, he had a very eccentric personality and Desperado recommended for James not to go there.

“Hoh, really?”

However, James felt a weird sense of appeal. He thought he would be able to get something if he went there. Wasn’t this a place where great items would be hidden?

“I have to go.”

[The pistol star, ‘Desperado,’ is saying it is dangerous!]

“How dangerous is it to just take a look? How dangerous can it be? Shadow Move!”

James closed his eyes and was in the vicinity of the ice castle in an instant. It was the power of Desperado which allowed him to emerge from any shadow. In any case, James infiltrated the ice castle straight away.

‘I might be able to obtain good items even if there are no Star Fruits. Wouldn’t Damian be pleased?’ 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

James wandered around the ice castle. He wanted to bring back a gift for Damian who had been very good to him these days. Of course, there was no law that it had to be good, but sincerity was important for gifts.

“Is this the great hall...?”

The place he entered was a huge hall. James couldn’t help feeling admiration as he explored it. It was so big that he felt like he had become a dwarf in Gulliver’s travels. James wandered the great hall cautiously only to suddenly stop.

“This...” James suddenly frowned. It was an ice statue. There were dozens of ice statues frozen with vivid expressions. However, the expressions were varied. Some were crying, some were angry, some were surprised... James felt a chill go down his spine. “Don’t tell me. They are frozen alive...”

[Hoh. A funny guy has entered.]

"......!"

James had an eerie feeling and quickly turned around. There, a man with long blue hair stared down at him with cold eyes. James quickly distanced himself from the man. The man was smiling and looked interested.

[Are you the Star's Beloved of that gunman? Huhuhu. How interesting.]

Sparks filled the air.

[The pistol star, ‘Desperado,’ is telling him not to touch this child.]

[Hoh. Desperado, just because you are a first-grade constellation like me doesn’t mean you can warn me. Don’t you know it well?]

[The pistol star, ‘Desperado,’ is saying this kid didn’t steal anything!]

[Steal...? Ahh, did you and this little boy come here to steal? Huhuhu. Cute guy.]

The blue-haired man laughed.

James seemed to know what was going on. The man in front of him was the tundra dragon, the strongest constellation of the ice system. Desperado was alarmed by the slip of the tongue and started making excuses. However, the tundra dragon ignored it and asked James, [How dare you try to sneak into my castle and steal things? Yes. What did you steal?]

“N-Nothing...”

[Um, nothing... How funny. It means you haven’t stolen anything yet. You were going to steal while I wasn’t here.]

“T-That...”

[Hmm. I am annoyed because something seems to have happened to Phoenix...]

The man in front of James shook his finger. Suddenly, a blizzard started to swirl around James.

“W-What?!”

The tundra dragon laughed when he saw James’ expression.

[Ahh, that is a good expression. Be flustered. Additionally, I’ll take these shiny things. I have a hobby of collecting shiny things.]

Thus, James’ five Star Fruits fell into the hands of the tundra dragon. James was even more flustered.

“Ah, no. That...!”

[The sin of trespassing is quite big. I’ll put this in my treasure chest. Think of it as an honor.]

“......!”

The moment the man in front flicked his fingers, James’ eyes were frozen white.

[The tundra dragon’s ‘Eternal Freeze’ has occurred.]

[You can’t escape from this curse unless the ice melts.]

[The login place is forcibly saved.]

[We recommend that you create a new ID if possible.]

‘Daaaaammmnnnn!’
