"I'm the captain of Meimei, and I'm ranker player, Praus. I don't know who you are, but I'm going to make you pay for standing in my way. Snicker!"
He wondered if he was actually stupid, but it was common for people to lack the ability to catch on to the situation.
The fact that he didn't know the force of his opponent made him feel even more sorry for him.
When he faced off against complete trash like him, even as someone who lacked human emotion, he felt the smallest bit of relief.
He felt like he was alive again.
'This is a bad hobby... '
Min Sung had that thought as he walked toward Praus.
Praus' eyes turned red, and his entire body zapped from the current.
Praus then charged toward Min Sung at an explosive speed.
Praus held his current hammer above his head and lowered it upon Min Sung's head.
The sound of the current explosions could be heard.
It was a decent noise, but Min Sung thought it sounded like a car that was purposely made to make large exhaust noises.
In other words, it sounded like a bluff...
He didn't feel threatened at all.
Min Sung watched as he lowered his current hammer on his head and lifted his left hand in response.
He then grabbed the hammer with his hand.
Boom!
It made an explosive sound, but there was absolutely no harm done.
Praus' pupils shook, and he was so shocked by the difference in power that he didn't think to attack again.
Praus simply stared at Min Sung in disbelief as Min Sung held onto his hammer enchanted with his magic power with his bare hands.
***
"... Are you finished?" Min Sung asked in boredom while staring at the pirate captain, Praus.
Praus dripped in sweat. He glanced around him and tried to take his hammer back, but only his body wobbled from side to side.
Praus had yet to realize that this man was the player that killed Pheus.
Praus, who refused to give up, decided to use his vision skill instead.
As a result, a stronger current flowed through his hammer, and it flashed with a thick ray of Aura.
It almost looked like his hands could burn if he held onto the hammer any longer.
However...
'Why hadn't anything changed?'
His opponent didn't take his hands off.
It looked like his opponent wasn't affected by it at all.
'There's no way. This is a strong Aura. No matter how strong he is... '
As Praus had such thoughts...
Kaboom!
A loud thundering noise rang through the sky.
And that noise came from Min Sung, who was holding onto his hammer.
At the same time, Praus' hammer cracked like glass and exploded into a million pieces.
After losing his weapon, Praus' lips trembled as he took a step back.
He saw that death was near.
His life flashed before his eyes, and as soon as Min Sung's fist swung in, he was faced with darkness.
It was an eternal darkness.
***
Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!
It was the noise of his head getting smashed in.
After seeing the no longer recognizable face of their captain, his subordinates gulped and dripped in sweat.
They all wanted to go back to their pirate ship, but their legs wouldn't listen.
That was because their bodies froze up because of fear.
Min Sung sighed at the pirates.
Ever since the dungeons appeared, monsters came out from it, and hunters became a profession, the world turned into a dog-eat-dog-world that followed the laws of the jungle.
And Beatrice was especially worse in that aspect.
As a result... He had no reason to feel guilty, but he didn't have the motivation to kill every single one of them.
He didn't see a point in killing day in and day out just for the name of justice.
"Go, " said Min Sung.
Since their boss died and they saw that they didn't stand a chance, fighting would have been meaningless to them.
Some of them peed their pants, shed tears, and froze up, and as soon as they heard Min Sung's remark, they ran.
They ran so quickly to their priate ship that some of them even fell in the water.
Min Sung watched the pirate ship grow distant when he tapped on Bowl inside his pocket.
"Come out."
In response, Bowl wriggled out and plopped down on the ground.
"See if you can eat this."
Min Sung pointed at Praus, who was currently in a treacherous state.
As soon as the sleepy Bowl saw the body, he jolted his eyes wide open with black flames and ran toward the body.
He used both hands to use his dark magic as if he was a hungry child.
The body immediately dried up. The remaining blood turned into the raw materials of the dark magic, and Praus turned into the Undead.
Once Bowl obtained the body, he snickered with joy.
Bowl originally only used organisms that were on the brink of death to turn into the Undead, but he was now able to use the magic on dead bodies as well.
That made him realize just how much Bowl had changed.
[Some Dionysus Gods are displeased that you showed mercy to the evil pirates. ]
[The angels are praising your decision. ]
The noisy comments of the Dionysus Gods and angels were a part of why he wanted to return to earth as soon as possible.
He wanted them to shut up, but since the system messages were simply the middlemen expressing their emotions, no threat was going to work on them.
In any case, he wasted quite a bit of time because of those pirates.
Min Sung clicked his tongue and returned to his VVIP room.
***
"Sir, we're about to arrive in the inner continent."
Once he took a nap and went back up to the top of the ship, Ho Sung Lee approached and spoke while pointing in one direction.
The sun had already set, and the direction Ho Sung Lee was pointing at appeared to be a port.
It was a long voyage.
Ssol must've been tired too because he had dark circles under his eyes.
Bowl was snoring away inside his pocket, and Ho Sung Lee was grabbing onto the railing as if he could die at any moment.
Not long afterward, the ship docked.
As soon as they stepped onto land, it felt weird.
Since they were on water for such a long time, it felt new to step on land again.
Ssol even wobbled around as if he was drunk.
And Bowl stuck his head out of Min Sung's pocket and snickered at Ssol.
Min Sung looked around the inner continent.
Before he arrived, he took a look at the system window, but it was only once he approached the inner continent that he could look at the overall map.
In Beatrice, the inner continent was surrounded by the outer sea, and outside of it was the outer continent.
After passing through the outer continent, the outer sea, and arriving at the inner continent, they were finally on the land where the most powerful players resided.
But just because it was the central continent didn't mean it was that different.
But the more central they got, the higher the rank of the players they would meet.
This was the beginning.
Although the central continent was their final destination, they reached it a lot quicker than they expected.
But of course, the central continent was much larger than the outer continent, but considering how fast they could move, that wasn't an issue.
What was important was the abilities of the highest ranker in the central continent.
But just in case, it was best to use his 150, 000 performance points to either buy a skill or an 8 Divination Sign.
This was the capitol.
Rather than underestimating this opponents, it was best that he do everything he could.
After all, this world lacked sufficient information.
Min Sung opened the system map.
"We have to move quickly."
Ho Sung Lee felt nervous after hearing Min Sung's remark.
That was because it was time for him to run so fast that his heart could almost pop out of his mouth.
Ho Sung Lee practiced running in the same spot with a nervous look on his face and did some stretches.
Min Sung finished checking his map and nodded.
"We're running in the northwest direction, " said Min Sung as he looked toward in that direction.
Ho Sung Lee nodded in response.
"Yes, Sir."
His answer was short, and while Min Sung ran, Ho Sung Lee clenched down on his teeth.
Min Sung tried his best to slow down for Ho Sung Lee, but Ho Sung Lee felt like his heart sank as soon as they started running.
***
Pierra Desert.
Once the sand storm passed and they could see again, a group of people could be seen in the distance.
Among them was a man who had his right arm covered with tattoos who squinted his eyes.
And the robed men that followed him looked to their commander with strange looks in their eyes.
"It's a local, " the commander said.
In response, his subordinates' faces stiffened with fear.
By local, he was referring to the monsters that lived in Pierra desert, and they were the strongest monster with the most powerful attacks in all of central continent.
For that reason, the subordinates other than the commander glanced around and kept their guard up for the 'locals' that had yet to show their faces.
The locals were known to make sneak attacks.
The locals normally hid within the sand and suddenly sprung up to kill the players with their poisonous tails.
