Chapter 376: A Refreshing Talk with A Smart Player

"Even if I would start at some disadvantage, I have to kill them all, regroup with my most trusted and strongest allies."

I now realized why at the beginning they attacked and secluded the mystic art society. It wasn't to prevent them from helping me, it was to deprive them from the chance to get any single contribution point.

So, when the apocalypse fell, they wouldn't have much points to use except from the fight raging there all this time; and I doubted they would let them amass enough contribution points, not like I and my players had here.

'Change for plans, you guys keep heading forward, spread normal players in layer twenty and above, while transforming anyone to a mystic art player as soon as you have any medallions. I transferred all medallions I have right now to you, so use them. beware that layer twenty is filled with many giant soul suckers and giant demons.'

I sent this message to Aria after a whole day of fighting here. it wasn't appropriate to waste time fighting here, as I had my eyes set over another trophy.

'Wow, all these medallions! I will use them at once, take care of yourself by the way. If you faced a tough enemy, just wait for us.'

'Aria, SPEED UP THE PACE!' I did my part in warning her by using this direct message. She took sometime to respond, seemingly surprised by the tone of my words, my sudden warning.

'Anything bad is coming?' she asked.

'A disaster!' I replied, and didn't add another word. She asked for more, but I didn't respond for a while.

"Are we going away?" the demoness, the smarter out of the two, noticed my change of direction earlier than the demon. "We are going directly to the trapped mystic art society."

"Wow, it seems like a great battle," she chuckled and I just said nothing.

'Just tell me at least how much time do we have?' Aria didn't lose hope in knowing more about the disaster coming. 'Three weeks,' I replied back before closing the chat with her.

I was sure Aria was smart enough to link the dots, knew how grave the situation was, and trusted her ability to know her priorities right now.

Layer twenty was vast, as it took five more days from me to cross it completely. During these days, we three never ceased our attacks for once, and any noble fort we met was demolished by our combined attacks.

And just on the third day, I decided to up the risks here!

"Let's put you to play," I muttered as I took out my spear artifact. It was doomed to exterminate every single life inside the layer it hit, but I needed to clear the path, move fast without any hindrance at all.

Even if this came at the cost of losing the demons of a couple of layers, it didn't matter.

The spear hummed in my hand. "Pretty excited, aren't you?" I chuckled as I threw it in the air while the whole balloon was covered with pearls. "I know you are eager to kill, so I will let you play to your heart content. Go and clear all the layers for me towards the mystic art society place, go."

I threw it, and instantly it started killing the demons and monsters standing between it and the far, yet to appear border. I shifted my attention over my hunger value, as it kept rising like a rocket. Pearls started to be stuffed inside my mouth from this moment onward.

I was sure that this would keep happening until it started booming in the next layer, exploding every single monster, demon, and player there, providing some energy to its high consumption, relieving me from this stressful pressure for a while.

This didn't occur until a couple of days later. I felt its sudden stopping after two days, while the consumption rate of the hunger value skyrocketed. I smiled and kept providing myself with pearls while eyeing the two windows opened in front of me; the hunger value one and the contribution points one.

The first was showing great fluctuation, as in a moment it rose to a terrifying level and in the second it decreased again. This kept happening, and that made my smile grow bigger. As for the latter, it kept rising in value rapidly, in hundreds of thousands in each passing minute.

After half a day, the explosion occurred, and the spear broke through whatever was hindering its path. I noticed the sudden decline in the hunger value, while the contribution value showed great increase, in millions with each passing minute.

This kept happening for an hour, then my spear returned to its usual consumption rate of my hunger value, while my contribution points started to decline, to increase tens of thousands of points with each minute.

After a few hours we reached the border, and when we passed it; empty layer welcomed us. "Your spear is really domineering," the demoness commented, and I just chuckled and said nothing.

I moved forward, at top speed, without any single obstacle here. The layer was covered in a layer of lightning like usual, with many items scattered down there.

'Layer twenty is partly cleared, layer twenty one is completely cleared and loot is scattered everywhere waiting for you to pick them,' I sent this message to Aria, and she simply replied:

'We are at layer nineteen now. I assume we will need a week to clear it and head to layer twenty. I will branch out the army to make sure some will stay here to farm demons and contribution points, while the mystic players will follow you. After layer twenty, all those selected by me will come to you via balloons, so be ready to explain things soon.'

I read it and smiled in content; she didn't disappoint my expectations at all. She was smart enough to realize the most important thing right now; the contribution points.

'Before coming to me, make all players contribute their points equally between the group you selected and me,' I sent another clue to her, and I was sure she would understand my hidden meaning.

'I understand.'

"It's really refreshing playing with smart people, right Shin?" I sighed, as I recalled Shin and his brilliant pointers to me every now and then. "I just hope we can meet in that new world," I sighed, sadly, while recalling him and the funny good days we had together. Sigh, how much I missed that annoying cool swordsman!
