Chapter 385 - New Hunting Ground (1)
In the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.
“Blizzard!”
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
[Kheeeeeeek!]
[Khuuuuuuuuuuuk!]
The Titans collapsed like the leaves falling in the autumn wind at my attack.
But I quickly moved to other places as soon as I struck them rather than confirming their collapse.
“Hehehe!”
While moving, I didn’t forget to smile in satisfaction because I was finally hunting back in this place after 2 months. In addition, I missed out on not only EXP but also other enormous rewards, so I was so absorbed into hunting as it was so enjoyable.
So much so that I didn’t know that lots of people were watching me hunting brilliantly at a distance with their mouths open wide.
***
Over time, the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan drew quite a few users thanks to the double EXP event. Of course, the hunting ground was vast enough for them to hunt while maintaining a wide distance from each other.
No matter how high the users leveled up on average, the level 1500 hunting ground was still tough for them.

But there was somebody indiscriminately massacring the monsters there. Moreover, the monster slayer hunted wildly in all areas, so those who thought they had claimed a territory to hunt had no choice but to step back for there was no one audacious enough to shout at the monster slayer to back off. Of course, that terrific hunter was Juyoung Hong.
Since Juyoung Hong was consumed with the desire to hunt more monsters faster not only for fun, but also to imprint the monsters onto his body after a long hiatus in hunting, he kept hunting much faster than the monsters could regenerate. As a result, he could hunt in a much wider area than before.
So Juyoung Hong continued hunting by invading their arbitrary territories even though he didn’t intend to.
And those who watched him intruding on their territories just stared at him blankly instead of urging him to observe proper decorum.
At last somebody opened his mouth.
“Didn’t you say that he couldn’t play Revival Legend for almost two months?”
“Nope. I would say he didn’t play for almost three months.”
“You’re right. I heard that he had no time to access Revival Legend after something bad happened to the Myongjin Shelter on the heels of the ‘Strongest Guild Selection’ event.”
“Man, three months is by no means a short period of time..”
“Why are you so surprised? He used to be strong anyway. He had been hunting here alone for a long time. Of course, he looks stronger now..”
“By the way, why do Titans here look so pitiful? The Titans here are all level 1500. They are the strongest apart from boss monsters, right?”
“..”
“..”
“..”
When someone expressed his feelings about Juyoung Hong, the others listening to him nodded quietly in agreement.
They were impressed by Juyoung Hong’s brillant attacks and his extraordinary final blow to Titans using Ice Ball or Ice Bolt usually reserved for keeping the monsters at bay. They were also stunned to see him slashing the monsters with the sword in his right hand even though he was obviously an ice-type wizard.
At that moment, another man said, “By the way, I wonder if he is not going to pick up the golden rings and coins strewn everywhere..I’m thinking of collecting them while he is distracted with hunting..”
Hearing that, all of them looked behind Juyoung Hong, where golden rings and coins were piled up all over the place. No wonder they became greedy for such items.
“Don’t even think of picking them up unless you are crazy.”
“Right.”
“If you pick them up, everyone will speak ill of you.”
“You bet. Besides, you’ll be driven out of this place in humiliation.”
“Man, I didn’t say I would actually collect them! It was just a figure of speech.”
“Watch your language! Even if the Myongjin Shelter was humiliated by an unknown figure, they are still the strongest among all the guilds. Especially Juyoung Hong is the best and strongest player.”
“That’s right. You already know why China and India are so quiet even when they have terrorised Vietnam, right? It’s all because of Juyoung Hong. And that’s why China and India haven’t done anything about Mongolia that was as weak as Vietnam until all the regions were merged into one.”
“Yeah, I agree.”
Anyway, those who hunted in the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan kept low profile in order not to disturb Juyoung Hong’s hunting as much as possible. Among them were the players of Japan’s Mitsuya Guild, who were hostile to Juyoung Hong at first.

It has already been three days since I resumed hunting in the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.
Rather than attacking the monsters that had regenerated, I opened my mouth gently.
“Check the monster imprint.”
[Monster imprinting status.
-Currently accumulated monster: Titan.
-Current accumulation achievement rate: 61.819%
: You will acquire the following traits when you achieve 100% accumulation rate in imprinting Titans.
-Physical strength stat points increase by 3000.
-Stamina stat points increase by 3000.
– Rigidity. (Reduces all damage by 10%.)]
“Umm. I think I can hunt about 20,000 monsters per day.”
Even though I didn’t calculate the hunting time, I could hunt about 20 monsters per minute. This meant I could hunt 200 monsters in ten minutes, and 1200 in one hour.
In other words, considering that I spent 18 hours playing Revival Legend per day, I could hunt as many as 20,000 monsters at my current hunting speed.
Of course, I knew how to hunt faster.
In other words, if somebody herded the monsters for me, I could hunt more quickly.
For me it was more important to detect the monsters than kill them even if I had Blink with zero cooldown.
But I was satisfied with my current hunting speed because it was fast enough to stun everybody watching me.
“Alright. Let me resume hunting!”
As things stood now, I could achieve 100% accumulation rate in about two days, so I kept hunting the same way I did during the third closed beta under the name ‘Forgotten Legend’ where I slept less than two hours a day.
And I could confirm a message sometime after I resumed hunting.
