Chapter 525
“Yes. Slowly, slowly. If you feel like you’re going to fall, I’ll catch you, so don’t worry, just brace your legs. “Don’t be scared.”
A nurse specializing in rehabilitation treatment encouraged the following.
Are you scared? Even if he falls over and gets a bloody nose right now, he will probably still laugh.
Every time I tried to stand up, I felt a tingling sensation below my waist.
The feeling when muscles and nerve cells that have dried up to a significant degree are stimulated again. This unfamiliar sensation was painful, but I did not avoid it.
“―Keuuuuuuuuuu her its her her her herself her she her she her her her she she she or it or or or or it It will be keeuuuuuu she herself she her her her she her her her her her her her she she she her she or it it it it/ it or it is or is said to be~!”
“yes! Yes!”
And finally, even though he was holding on to the parallel bars, Lee Ha stood on his own two legs.
Without anyone’s help.
After about 30 seconds of shaking his legs and arms as if he was dancing, he collapsed into the wheelchair again, but his eyes were sparkling.
“I’ll just do this 10 times today and then go back.”
“Number 10?”
“Oh, if it seems too difficult-”
“Why not do it for 10 hours? No, I just want to keep going until bedtime. “Can you continue to watch from the side?”
“…yes?”
The rehabilitation nurse made an absurd expression.
The people outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, who had no idea that this conversation was taking place in the rehabilitation treatment room, had a hard time holding back the tears that were threatening to flow again.
“Keuhum, over there- Khum, khum! Mrs. Ram Hwayeon.”
Ki-jeong barely managed to control his cracking voice and opened his mouth.
He had been crying every day since the surgery, so much so that he thought there would be no more tears left, but tears were welling up in his eyes again.
“What, what? Even if you look at me with those eyes, I have nothing to give you.”
“Who cares what?! Cough, Clock. Then… next time. “In Middle Earth.”
“huh?”
Ram Hwayeon tilted her head.
Suddenly Middle Earth? What are you trying to say?
Ram Hwa-jeong, who had been staring intently at Lee-ha as if he were the only one in the world, also looked at Ki-jeong.
Ki-jeong felt awkward as he suddenly received attention from two people.
Moreover, what he is about to say now is not enough compared to what the two people have given him and Leeha.
“In Middle Earth, well, that won’t happen because Ram Hwajeong is there.”
“What are you trying to say, say it quickly?”
“At least once… I will be Ram Hwayeon’s shield.”
Kijeong said quite seriously.
In reality, is there anything that can be done to repay Ram Hwayeon?
Over the past few days, Kijeong thought calmly and came up with an answer. ‘does not exist.’
I couldn’t express my gratitude with a few pennies or gifts to these women who already had everything.
There was only one thing Ki-jeong could do.
Some people say that the only reward is in the game? You might say that, but at least Ram Hwayeon, listening to Ki-jeong’s words, couldn’t think that way.
“You are indeed Leeha’s younger brother. If it’s that kind of reward, I’ll accept it without hesitation. It would have been better if it had the power of starweed, but Master K, you alone are enough.”
She nodded with a faint smile. Ram Hwa-jeong nodded and added.
“Shield man. “It’s worth using.”
“I know that shield refers to me, but it doesn’t mean you, Mrs. Ram Hwa-jeong. What’s more, it’s worth using… It’s not good to use that kind of language with an older person—”
Ki-jeong felt embarrassed and tried to tackle Ram Hwa-jeong’s words, but she had already turned her head and was looking at Lee Ha-man.
“Okay, this time you have to hold on for one minute. Hmm…!”
Lee Ha asked if he could play Middle Earth after the surgery, but Middle Earth was not in his sights right now.
Efforts to straighten the body in real life, not the body in the game. Other than rehabilitation treatment, everything seemed insignificant.
Today was exactly one week since Lee Ha came to Hong Kong. Meanwhile, more than 35 days had passed in Middle Earth.

“Commander! I think it’s slowly coming in now? “The three-headed dire wolf hordes are starting to emerge!”
“All right. The information is correct. ruler! Now get it in shape! Tankers from each engineering school, please come forward! “I will lead the general attack, but each battle will be led by individual attack commanders!”
After receiving the ranger’s report, the general attack leader raised his shield and shouted.
More than a hundred people following them began to move in unison while cheering.
Every time the attackers moved, something like charcoal dust rose up from the ground and flew away. The naughty atmosphere doubled even more.
“Does the land seem plausible this time?”
“So wouldn’t it be awesome? “I heard that the fourth base cleared was an A grade, and the fifth base was an A+ achievement.”
Even in the midst of tension, what I still wanted was the clear reward.
Since the New Continent was officially opened, these lands have been the common thing that all users have been looking for.
[Common Quest: If you hit the grass, a snake will come out]
Content: Check the Demon’s base (5/7)
Failure Condition: If you fail to check the Demon’s base within 100 days (Remaining period: 65 days)
You can clear the common quest. The base of the devil!
It became even more of a hot topic when it was revealed that the fifth base that was recently cleared would give an A+ grade achievement.
“What about the third?”
“well. There was no information about which guild controlled it. Anyway, the fourth base was the third location in the quest, and the fifth base was the fourth location in the quest… If you look at the flow, this place can’t be lower than A+, right? “I think it’s probably the fifth or sixth location in the quest.”
Since the order in which users cleared the game was different from the number of the demon’s base, they had no choice but to call it differently.
The place they are talking about now,
the third cleared place, is the place where Lee Ha obtained the achievement, and according to the quest, it was the fifth land covered in demonic energy.
“Put on plenty of buff and go in in 3 minutes! It’s been stolen from me ever since I cleared the first base, but this time it’s different. “Our RUSH guild will clear the sixth base!”
Oooooh──────────!
All-out attack leader and guild master of the Rush guild.
Ron, who once took on a commander-level role in a national war, raised his weapon and shouted.
Large guilds with continent-level influence were clearly showing their power in the New World.
There are four main raids, with a total of 100 people.
A total of 115 people, including 15 assistants prepared in reserve, completed all preparations within 3 minutes, as Ron said.
This also means that the users who come to the New Continent are advanced to raids and group hunting, except for a very special few.
“Let’s RUSH!”
Ron shouted the guild slogan, and the 114 attack members followed suit, singing in chorus.
The three-headed wolves and four-winged crows were tired of the number of users and did not attack them carelessly, but kept their distance. However, once they started running, the characteristics of the monsters could not be hidden.
“Karrrrrrrrrrrrrn—!”
“Kheng, keheng—!”
The monsters attacked with great vigor, but the raiding party was no slouch either.
Above all, with their overwhelming numbers, they were able to eliminate the three-headed dire wolf horde with skill.
It was time to eliminate one group of monsters and then eliminate another group that followed.
One user’s name turned gray in the party window that only attack members could see.
“What, who died?”
“Healers, let’s come to our senses! “One lay down 10 minutes after entering!”
“Uh… wait a minute. Is there something strange? Surely it was at full HP just now?”
“It’s not our healers’ fault! The dealer just died! Tankers, please manage aggro thoroughly first.”
A murmur arose among the attack crew.
Ron had a serious look on his face for a moment, but soon mediate the conflict among the engineering team members with leadership.
The more difficult and thrilling the raid, the higher the excitement and tension, and things like this tend to happen, so it wasn’t particularly strange.
“Let’s go again-”
Grumpy.
Before Ron finished speaking, one of the users next to him lay down.
The panicked attack crew couldn’t even come to their senses. It was only after the user’s body turned gray that they realized the seriousness of the situation.
“W-what is it? Dead—”
“Assassin, assassin mob!” In dealer defense formation! 〈Detect〉!”
One of the wizards shouted and quickly cast an invisibility removal spell. What he said made sense.
If someone suddenly dies without any signs of attack, the only variable that can be thought of is an ‘invisible assassin’.
The members of the Rush guild were already in a dealer defense formation, but their thoughts were not like that.
‘I attacked while invisible, but the invisibility didn’t come off?’
‘Is there such an invisibility magic?’
After a while, detect magic was cast everywhere. And users couldn’t help but be shocked.
“I can’t catch anything-”
This is because the heads of the wizards who had cast Detect began to explode one by one.
Poop, poop, poop!
A sound like a watermelon breaking was constantly produced. Ron’s face instantly turned pale.
“Bah, raise your shield! Put up your shield! Grab your shield and go to the Ghost Army! Testudo!”
I have no idea what this is! But it is certain that it is dangerous!
Ron shouted the name of an ancient Roman square. A characteristic of experts is that even if their head cannot accept it, their body responds.
The members of the Rush guild quickly unfolded a turtle formation and crowded the dealers into it.
The narrow defense did not create even the slightest gap toward the outside.
The entire raid team could not even swallow their saliva properly and prepared for an unknown attack, but the attack stopped as soon as they deployed their turtle shells.
“…No response.”
“What was that just now, Gilma?”
“…I don’t know either.”
Has it been 5 minutes since the wizard user who used Detect died?
However, for everyone in Rush, including Ron, it was a hellish moment that lasted more than an hour.
‘What on earth…? ‘Is this really an attack?’
Ron tilted his head and looked around persistently. There were no visible signs on the charcoal-like ground left behind.
All you can see is monsters creeping up from afar.
‘Gwigapjin can defend the entire face, but it is not an attack formation. If we continue like this, we will be attacked by monsters.’
Moreover, the monsters that appeared this time were not the three-headed dire wolf beast type. Lope had a different color and body type than the trolls of the Old Continent, and was even thoroughly armed.
‘I know there is a type called Hi-Troll, but is it even an armored type? Dangerous. ‘The minimum level will be 270.’
Unidentified attacks have not been attempted since Gwigapjin.
Was it a reaction to the turtle shell, or was some kind of bug phenomenon over?
Ron finally lowered his shield.
“Armored Hi-Monsters presumed to be trolls are approaching from all directions! Each engineering school has its own formation—”
He couldn’t finish his sentence.
Ron’s ashen body, with the upper part of his neck missing, crashed to the ground.
“Cho, Commander?!”
“Gilma, Gilma has fallen-”
It was natural for the users to be surprised.
The sudden panic was enough to collapse Gwi Gap-jin’s formation.
And an ‘unidentified attack’ struck like a rainstorm through the gap between the shields.
Rush’s elite guild members who had participated in national competitions and adult-level white dragon raids were also unable to maintain their sanity.
Panic was added to panic, confusion was added to confusion, and the formation began to completely collapse.
“Ooh, wow! Nonsense!”
“Everyone retreat! “Retreat first!”
Even as one person after another fell, the Armored High-Troll’s approach did not stop.
“Karut- human- kart?! You can’t run away!”
Armored High – A monster smaller than a troll.
A monster similar to a goblin or kobold rushed towards me and tore something up.
There were no users who heard the confused shouting, but all Rush guild members had to scream.
This is because a light purple film was forming around them.
