Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 394 - Argentina (1)
Of course, I knew what the colors meant.
The red ancient spirit represented fire, the brown ancient spirit represented earth, the gray ancient spirit represented wind, and the blue ancient spirit represented ice.
That’s why my monster imprint was acting differently from normal.

: All fire-type skill damage increases by 5%.]
This was the effect of my monster imprint when I hunted the red ancient spirit.
And if I hunted an ancient spirit of a different color, it was recognized as a different monster, so the original 100% accumulation changed to 0%, even though it was the new monster was also called an ‘ancient spirit’,
Of course, that wasn’t bad for me because I really liked the effect of my monster imprint when I hunted the blue ancient spirit.

After checking the imprint effect of the blue ancient spirit, I had no choice but to be thrilled because it was the monster I had been looking for.
Of course, I had to restrict myself from using AOE skills because of that for some time.
For the moment I accidentally killed an ancient spirit of a different color with my AOE skill, my accumulated traits would change to 0% right away.
However, I decided not to care about it.
“After all, I have already won 1st place in the event, so I have no time constraints anymore, and this is quite easy since I have Blink with zero cooldown anyway!”
I would welcome any monster with this kind of trait unconditionally even if I had to hunt with most of my skills sealed forcibly. So, with a smile on my lips, I chose only the blue ancient spirits and continued to hunt them.

Asirante won first place in the ‘Reach level 1800 hunting ground faster than anyone else’ event. Of course, no one questioned or was surprised by that news.
They all just nodded, saying that it was expected that he would win.
Why? Because he has always won until now.
In fact, it would be more strange if Asirante didn’t win first place.
Anyway, the event ended with Asirante winning again, and all others were busy hunting in the hunting grounds suitable for their level because there was none who didn’t know that the pace of ‘Revival Legend’ was moving faster than before.
Of course, this included all the users belonging to Argentina.
Argentina spanned a large land, so it was possible for those who could be called a giant guild to operate their home base alone or together in the places they preferred.
However, there were a couple of guilds that happened to be in the same place, even though they didn’t like each other. They were the Sayens Guild and the Talagapa Guild, which were both among the top five major guilds in Argentina.
They were located in Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, which was large enough for both of them as far as their activities were concerned.
No matter how many members they had as the major guilds representing Argentina, Buenos Aires was by no means a small place for them. Nonetheless, they still couldn’t get along very well.
But they weren’t stupid enough to fight against each other.
Ironically, the Talagapa Guild lost its leader, its successor and its major players overnight when they departed for an unknown place to clear a quest.
Because of that, the Talagapa Guild was inevitably crumbling, and the Sayens Guild seized this golden chance to fan the flames even more.
They not only accepted those who withdrew from the gradually collapsing Talagapa guild, but they also began to eat away at what the Talagapa Guild possessed.
Only then did the other three top guilds and other big guilds try to check if they could get some spoils after the Sayens Guild dropped off absorbing the Talagap Guild, but there was nothing left to take. So they stopped paying any more attention to the Talagapa matter.
To them, the Talagapa Guild was completely ruined with little chance of revival, so they didn’t feel it necessary to accuse the Sayens Guild of unjustly ravaging the Talagapa Guild. They concluded that the Talagapa Guild had no possibility of revival. With the passage of several months, their memories of the Talagapa Guild also disappeared completely, and its main base was deserted with nobody paying attention to it.
At that moment, however, a black thunderbolt struck exactly at the main base of the abandoned Talagapa Guild.
Bang!
So they had no choice but to feel it was very strange.
Black thunderbolt?
In this day and age, however, many things stranger than a black thunderbolt have happened all over the world, so they could have ignored it if it was just once.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was not just one thunderbolt strike. It struck twice, three times, four times, five times, then kept striking dozens, or more precisely, hundreds of times.
Because of that, the huge building used by the Talagapa Guild as its main base in the past disappeared without any trace.
“What the heck is that?”
“What’s going to happen from now on?”
“Aren’t we supposed to get out of here right now?”
“Are you kidding me? You know we have been told to find out what happened here. You’re going to be axed if you run away from here.”
“Damn it! This place is cursed!”
Since the black lightning, which was far from a normal lightning bolt, struck hundreds of times in one place, it was bound to attract everyone’s attention. Even the Sayens Guild, now believed to completely dominate Buenos Aires, was very interested in this unusual phenomenon.
So they immediately dispatched their staff to that destroyed place. Among those were some former members of the Talagapa Guild because it happened in their former headquarters. Of course, the former members of the Talagapa Guild had no choice but to feel it was creepy all the more.
Wiggle. Wiggle.
In the dark night.
Those dispatched there were not stupid enough not to have noticed something like black liquid crawling out of the very spot where the hundreds of black lightning thunderbolts had struck down.
“Step back!”
“Don’t touch that black liquid!”
“Got it!”
When they noticed the black liquid that looked eerie at first glance, all of the Sayens Guild members immediately retreated. Of course, they didn’t just stare blankly at that black liquid without doing anything after stepping back. They launched attacks against it which was slowly spreading in all directions.
“Wind Spear!”
“Summon Earth Spirit! Earth Spirit!”
:
“Dancing Flames!”
“Soar Earth Barrier!”
“Fire Barrier!”
They tried to set up a wall to block it from spreading, but it was in vain.
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
It seemed as if they were throwing small stones into a very deep and wide lake.
No matter how hard they tried to destroy it with their attack skills, they inflicted little damage to it.
Crunch! Crunch!
The black liquid approached without hesitation despite the towering earth barrier and the fire barrier fiercely flaming as if it melted ice and evaporated water.
A gnawing sound resounded as the black liquid gradually began to envelop the barriers. In the end, the barriers quickly collapsed and faded away
