Chapter 430: One Plus One (2)

At that moment, a huge guy started walking out of the innermost part of the 10th Royal District. Of course, I knew who he was because I began to gather information about him after I set the ruler of the 10th Royal District as my next target.

In other words, the guy who was walking toward me was the Ancient Golem, the owner of the 10th Royal District.

Wasn’t he a monster?

Of course, he was.

Those who told me something about him before I killed them said he was a monster. So I was a little startled at first.

But considering that the ruler of the 4th Royal District was made of black liquid, and Fashant had a head made of ice, a body composed of fire, arms made of wind, and legs that were soil,, I felt it was not strange at all for this guy to be a monster. Actually, it was rather natural that he was a monster.

Anyway, the biggest characteristic of the Ancient Golem, the ruler of the 10th Royal District, was his enormous body. Perhaps that’s why I chose that district.

I wanted to check out which of us was stronger in a one-on-one match.

Standing afar, I waited for the Ancient Golem, the ruler of the 10th Royal District, to approach.

When he closed the distance between us, he loudly shouted.

[You’re very strong! And it looks like you’ve become even stronger.]

As he said, I’ve become much stronger than before.

The 3,000 remaining stat points that I invested in Intellect after killing Fashant, the 7th Royal District ruler, was huge, and more decisively, I also received an additional 5% increase in my reality actualization rate.

As if I didn’t know what he was talking about, I shrugged my shoulders, then opened my mouth.

“Well. I don’t know what you mean. By the way, I thought you would only come out late, but you came out early. To be honest, I wanted to enjoy fighting them a little longer.”

While fighting them, I thought I rather liked this situation because there was such a huge number of people gathered, and my bonus points kept accumulating.

The huge monster responded.

[I originally intended to come out later. But I decided to show up after confirming that you weren’t getting any weaker despite my people singing you day in and day out.]

“Are you sure you can confront me?”

The Ancient Golem, the ruler of the 10th Royal District, was rumored to have a huge physical attack power, but that alone would not determine the results of a fight. That’s why he was the owner of this district, which was ranked last among the Royal Districts.

[Let’s see who can win. Glue!]

The monster shouted immediately, but I didn’t care because whatever he did would not work out on me thanks to my trait, ‘All Buffs, All Debuffs’.

[You have been ‘glued’ to the Ancient Golem.

-If you move more than 10 meters away from the Ancient Golem, you will be automatically moved back within the range of the Ancient Golem.]

“?”

I was a little perplexed because I thought the Ancient Golem’s attack would be ineffective on me, no matter what.

[I hear nobody can use debuffs against you. Well, looking at your battle with Fashant, all of his unique capabilities were blocked because of your trait. But don’t worry. My trait, Attach, is not a debuff that damages or impairs its target.]

“…”

Obviously, his ‘Glue’ did not reduce my stat points or limit my skills. In other words, it didn’t harm my combat capabilities at all.

[By the way, I’ve made certain preparations because you are really strong. Show yourself now!]

As soon as the Ancient Golem shouted, a huge bow appeared from one side.

Of course, I knew what it was because I urgently collected information about the rulers of the Royal Districts after defeating Fashant when I found out that I could obtain a huge number of stat points and an increase in my reality actualization rate by killing them. Among them was a ruler, like the one of the 10th Royal District, who I had to really ponder about their capabilities.

It was none other than the ruler of the 5th Royal District because its ruler was not a human, nor a living creature like a monster. It was just one item, namely, a huge bow.

In other words, the bow itself was the ruler of the 5th Royal District.

Of course, the bow did not move alone. It manipulated a human nearby by having them grab it.

So it was rumored that the ruler of the 5th district was sometimes a human and sometimes a monster. Sometimes it was rumored as one that could not even fall into the category of the Rookie District.

“Alright. You must be a combination of a tank and a dealer…”

It seemed like he was well prepared.

[You’re going to be killed here!]

Obviously, the Ancient Golem was confident. He had joined forces with another ruler, and there were a lot of men who could mount ranged attacks against me from 10 meters away.

On the other hand, even if I had Blink with zero cooldown, I could not move more than 10 meters away from the Ancient Golem because of his skill Glue.

At that moment, I thought to myself, ‘Should I really keep saving my Savant skill? I should use it as soon as possible so I can use it once more before I return to the earth.’

I now had the opportunity to kill two rulers at the same time.

So this was the perfect moment for me to use Savant because if one had the option to buy one and get one free, they would buy it most of the time.

In other words, this opportunity was too precious for me to miss, so I decided to use the limited skill ‘Savant’.

However, there was something that bothered me a bit. I agonized over whether to use it from the beginning, or to delay using it until I drained their health first.

But I didn’t think hard about it for long because I already knew the answer.

I decided to take away their health first before using my limited skill because it would be a huge loss to me if I didn’t kill one of them because I failed to inflict sufficient damage on them at the start. In that case, this would not be something like a ‘Buy-One-GET-One-Free’ event.

What’s more, I defeated Fashant, the ruler of the 7th Royal District, without using my limited skill, and with overwhelming force at that.

So I made the decision to use Savant later, then looked at the Ancient Golem, the ruler of the 10th Royal District, and the Giant Bow, the ruler of the 5th Royal District.

But I had to consider this big restriction.

‘Man, I can’t move more than 10 meters from this guy…’

Of course, such restrictions would not be a big problem because my skills with overwhelming striking range would not be restricted at all.

But if the Giant Bow, the ruler of the 5th Royal District, ran away as soon as it realized it was in a disadvantageous position, there would be nothing I could do about it if I was still affected by the restriction.

So I had to kill the Ancient Golem first.
