eighty nine thousand and seven hundreds thirty four.

Current contribution: 897,340p

So is this high or low?

I dont have anything to compare it to.

You cant even grab someone and ask them because of this personality.

Thats when I thought.

[You have met the requirements].

[You will be rewarded based on your contribution].

[Your relationship with Frost has reached a maximum].

[Youve maxed out your influence in Frost].

[Your Authority feature has been activated in Frost].

Good thing you bothered to ask.

Roughly 900,000 contributions.

That should be enough to maximize your relationship and influence.

That and the activation of the [Authority] feature.

Wow. Wait.

Its better to experience it once than to say it a hundred times.

I had gotten a taste of the power of the Authority feature in the Yusra Kingdom.

Thanks to this, I knew exactly what it could do and what its limits were.

The limit is that there is no limit!

The moment the Authority feature was activated.

In effect, I had the same power as a local lord.

To give you an example.

In the Yusra Kingdom, the only person who can stop me from making decisions is the King of Yusra, Hakuna.

But.

Hakuna overrules me?

That was unthinkable.

I had activated such an immense power feature.

I had activated it in Frost.

I remembered the value of Frost from TV, internet news, and the community.

I knew it would be a huge economic booster, if not a pagoda in Korea. Everyone said.

Its not going to happen right away.

It was inevitable.

Its going to take a long time to rebuild this.

The amount of buildings that have collapsed is unbelievable.

We have to worry about the residents of .

At this point, Frost had literally been dropped into a living hell and miraculously resurrected.

But he wasnt too worried.

Why, the Yusra Kingdom was much worse than Frost.

One king, no people.

Thats how the Yusra Kingdom started, and look where it is now.

Of course, that was only because Yusra was worth it.

Frost is just as valuable as Yusra for all the hype.

Only production players will be excited again.

If you think of the hard work they did, you should admit it, this.

Yeah, whatever. Weve gotten our share of experience.

I decide to look at the authority as a feature.

Yeah, exp.

I checked the status and frowned.

[Name: Grandfell Claudie Arpheus Romeo]

[Class: Demon Hunter]

[Level: 295]

[Stats]

Strength: 38 / Agility: 42 / Magic: 213 / Luck: 5 / Aesthetics: Low]

[Points held: 30]

Demon King, Decarabia.

Youve gained 30 levels just by defeating him.

Wow, thats a lot more than I thought. This.

Wasnt this the one that descended on the plaza?

It was attacked by players from all directions.

In other words, he was sharing kills with them, and sharing experience with them.

And yet he still gained 30 levels?

Indeed, you spit out experience like a demon.

Of course, that means I contributed to a lot of kills.

So much so that I automatically get loot.

[High kill contribution automatically earns loot].

Open inventory.

I checked my demonic loot.

[The Pentagram of Impure Knowledge]

[Rating: Epic]

[Restrictions: None]

[Effect: Sealed]

[Description: The demonic curse has sealed its effects, and you must purify it to know its full power].

First of all, I was not agitated.

I am the incarnation of integrity and innocence that surpasses material desires.

A personality that is unflappable.

I was benefiting from Grandfells character.

Calmly.

I perused the information that had once again surfaced.

[The Pentagram of Impure Knowledge].

First of all, its rank was a whopping [Epic].

A step above [Unique].

That meant it was the highest-ranked item in the current Arcana.

And most importantly, it had no level or wear restrictions.

I would have died of frustration if there was a level 700 limit.

What could that information mean?

It meant that as long as I could break the Demonic Curse, I could immediately see the effects of the epic tier items!

Thats it, break the demonic curse.

You cant use skills of different attributes as freely as you can summon stone pillars or stone stairs.

Hmph!

What is that!

It was only common sense to expect it!

Whats that animated firestorm?

Incredible heat.

The helicopter pilot hurriedly gained altitude.

The camera quickly zoomed out to capture the entire firestorm.

What am I looking at?

The cameraman muttered to himself.

looks like a person, is that it?

No, it wasnt an illusion.

It was a live broadcast.

The studio, watching the same screen.

Isnt that a person, not just a firestorm?

No face, no long hair, and those look like hands!

Its not an optical illusion, thats definitely a woman!

Expert, what kind of skill is that?

How would I, a mere mortal, know, just look.

The figure was as if Frost was trying to keep from falling into hell.

A womans form that was as if she was being hugged and supported.

Firestorm!

The firestorm had become a reliable shield for the players and an inescapable prison for Decarabian. There were no more twists.

Its over, everyone. The demon has fallen!

A crushing victory.

But it wasnt all celebration.

There were victims, after all.

But a victory full of wounds.

The camera zoomed in on the stunned residents of Frost.

Could the heavens be trying to comfort them in their grief?

Soon, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

Yeah, if this were a movie or a drama.

This would be a good time to end it.

There would be a hero who defeated evil.

There would be peace once again.

A neat end with a hint of the next season.

But this was reality.

Its a reality with a lot of dirty laundry to do.

PD Hyun Yong-seok, who was watching the angle, spoke up.

Lets get one more shot.

Hyun Yong-seoks target was none other than Inazuma.

If you have any sense at all.

He could predict what was about to happen.

Its not uncommon.

Frost appeared in the new update.

Its no wonder governments are on high alert.

Because the economic value of Frost was enormous.

The Japanese government must be dancing right now.

When Frost showed up in Hokkaido and the Hokkaido Islands.

Their secretive nature was quickly revealed.

They held onto the ankles of every other guild except their own, Inazuma, with all their might. It was a clear violation of international agreements, but they decided the Frost was worth it.

Although we quickly withdrew because the Demon King appeared.

The mind is different when you go into the bathroom than when you come out.

Now that the demon king is gone.

It seemed obvious that the Japanese government would once again assert its territorial rights to Frost.

And who would stand in their way?

Obviously.

The person with the highest contribution to the recapture quest.

That would be Lee Ho-yeol.

I knew youd say that!

Yes, the tide had turned as Hyun Yong-seok had predicted.

The entire Inazuma Guild, led by Hisagi.

They had begun to approach Lee Ho-yeols side.

Hyun Yong-seok ordered.

Can you catch the sound?

-That might be a bit difficult.

Okay. Well have to settle for the picture. Pull a close-up.

-Facial expressions and mouth shapes? I dont need to tell you, that kind of thing.

Okay.

I guess its not a bad idea to try to guess whats going on based on facial expressions and mouth shapes.

No, not regret, but save that one shot.

Korean-Japanese conflict.

If nothing else, its a guaranteed ratings hit.

Soon, Lee Ho-yeol and Kazuma Hisagi face each other.

?

But no matter how much I zoomed in.

I couldnt capture Hisagis expression or the shape of his mouth.

That was to be expected.

Hyun Yong-seoks eyes widened in disbelief.

, Yong-jin, what am I looking at?

How could he see their faces with their heads down?

But this was also reality.

Hyun Yong-seok, realizing the situation, said urgently.

Hurry up and turn on the subtitles!

The breaking news appeared on the bottom of the broadcast screen.

Kazuma Hisagi and the rest of the Inazuma Guild.

They seemed to bow their heads to Lee Ho-yeol to express their gratitude!
