– Do Jae-hyun has done it again! <Room of the Deserter>, completely conquered!
– <Evil Hunter>, living up to its clan name by eliminating evil. The Ludenark School now relegated to the annals of history-
– What exactly was the identity of ‘Evil God Lumiel’? The endlessly branching truths of the other world…
– Association President Kwon Young-hoon, “With this conquest, the Holder world has taken a step closer to the system and the other world.”
– Liam Hendricks, “Do Jae-hyun is currently leading the international Holder world.”
Everything has come to an end.
In fact, it might be an exaggeration to say ‘everything has come to an end’ at a point where the truth about the Holder system and the other world is just beginning to be revealed…
Nevertheless, we have completely conquered the <Room of the Deserter>, which was the biggest hurdle in the current international Holder world.We’ve eliminated the evil group that was the root of all incidents, and the Ludenark School can no longer be traced.
“Two days of rest for everyone.”
Just like when we conquered the 6th zone before, I gave myself and all team members two days of unconditional rest after the final battle ended.
Do nothing, report nothing-
Just rest for two days in whatever way you choose.
Despite this being a conquest involving various domestic clans including the Holder Association, I adhered to this principle and postponed the performance announcement for two days.
This was possible because the <Evil Hunter> clan and I played the most crucial role in this conquest.
“Hehe. Two days is too short, Jae-hyun. Right?”
“…I’ll agree.”
“That’s right! Ask Do Jae-hyun to extend the rest to 3 days, no, 4 days!”
“……”
My three lovers still by my side even after the rest period ended.
…Somehow, I feel like my rest wasn’t really rest.
But anyway, the <Evil Hunter> clan members and other allied forces who participated in the conquest were able to participate in the performance report after sufficient rest. ℝáℕộ฿ΕȘ
And then we arrived at the main building of the Korean Holder Association.
“Then, we will now begin the final conquest performance report of the Room of the Deserter, supervised by the Korean Holder Association.”
As it was a massive conquest with the participation of the most domestic clans ever, reporting its performance was also conducted on an enormous scale.
The MC was the vice president of the domestic Holder Association.
The reporting clans included <Evil Hunter> and the 3 major clans, which were the main clans of the allied forces, as well as various mid-sized clans that were mercenary clans under them.
“First, due to the unique structure of the Room of the Deserter dungeon divided by zones, it was the first time in the domestic Holder world that individual clan conquests were conducted by zone. We’ll briefly go over the conquest process related to this aspect.”
The <Room of the Deserter> consists of a total of 9 zones, from the 1st to the 9th.
When conquering this, the allied forces proceeded by dividing the responsible clans by zone, and it was necessary to clearly mention this for the announcement of the conquest results.
“The 1st zone was solely conquered by the Evil Hunter clan. The zone’s internal proportion is 7%, but the total conquest performance proportion is estimated at 15%. This is because it opened the door to dungeon conquest as the first zone, and it was the central area of the Holder kidnapping incident that was the starting point of this conquest.”
1st zone <Abandoned Laboratory>.
Although this zone didn’t have a high proportion, it received quite a high performance proportion as the entrance and core zone of the <Room of the Deserter> conquest.
Considering that the clan’s strength was incomplete at the time of conquering this place, and the urgent situation due to the rescue of kidnapped Holders… It was certainly a worthwhile proportion for the conquest.
“The 2nd zone was solely conquered by the Judgment of Fire clan. The zone’s internal proportion is 6%, the total performance proportion is 8%…”
After that, explanations about other zones conquered by the 3 major clans and mid-sized clan alliances followed.
Most of them accounted for about 6-7% of the zone proportion and 8-9% of the total performance proportion.
These proportions might seem quite low when looking at just the percentages.
However, the <Room of the Deserter> dungeon itself boasted an unprecedentedly large scale in Holder world history, and the resulting items, magic stones, etc. were also at an enormous level.
Considering these points, in fact, even with single-digit percentages, each clan could reap massive benefits.
“Next is the 6th zone. Oh, this is also a solo conquest by the Evil Hunter clan… The zone proportion is 19%, the total performance proportion is 25%…? No, why is this so high…?”
…Of course, it’s incomparable to our <Evil Hunter> clan, which took double-digit proportions.
Perhaps because such a high proportion came out?
The vice president became flustered and muttered to himself in the middle of announcing the results.
“Ah, ahem. I apologize.”
Soon realizing his mistake, he coughed and apologized.
Then, after clearly reporting the performance of the 6th zone.
He slowly moved on to the next zone.
“It’s the 7th zone. As you all know, due to the nominal conquests of the 8th and 9th zones, this 7th zone Ancient Resting Place can be seen as the most crucial zone of this dungeon.”
The total performance proportions of the 8th and 9th zone are less than 1%.
This happened because School Head Flinklo and Vice School Head Dave abandoned those two zones and went all-in on the 7th zone.
All the allied forces members gathered here were aware of this fact.
And.
The vice president’s additional report continued.
“The internal proportion of the 7th zone is 18%, and the total performance proportion is 35%. This was proceeded with a complex conquest by the Evil Hunter clan and subordinate mercenary clans. However, during the conquest process, the elimination of School Head Flinklo and Evil God Lumiel, the elimination of Vice School Head Dave and Evil God Enkia, the elimination of Warrior of Termen, Tashmad, etc… All the most crucial achievements of the zone conquest were made by the Evil Hunter clan. Therefore, the proportion of the Evil Hunter clan estimated within the complex conquest is… 8, 80%?!”
Again.
Another incident occurred during the conquest report.
However, no one pointed this out.
“……”
“……”
Because everyone was equally surprised.
The vice president was shocked, and the masters of each clan had strained faces.
The gazes of everyone in the conference room were focused on me.
Feeling that dizzying sensation, I bowed my head deeply.
…That’s right.
Our clan did it all in this conquest.
The distribution of achievements within the alliance forces has been completed, but the organization within our clan is not yet finished.
There was a need to reward the accomplishments made by each clan member, and the positions of clan members could change based on their performance in this conquest.
While this conquest holds deep meaning for other clans as well, our <Evil Hunter>, which performed exceptionally as the main conquest clan, had particularly many points to organize internally.
Thanks to this, master, me, and the vice-master, my master,
Along with teams related to internal operations such as the secretarial team and planning team, have been working through several nights.
Fortunately, that work bomb was slowly coming to an end.
“It feels a bit anticlimactic in a way, doesn’t it?”
Han Sang-jin, the planning team leader, says to me while organizing documents.
As soon as I hear those words, I look around with slightly surprised eyes.
“Team Leader Han, if other clan members hear that, it’ll cause an uproar, you know?”
“What? Oh, ah- That’s not what I meant. Haha. I should be careful with my words.”
Han Sang-jin waves his hands in panic at my joke.
“It’s just that compared to the 6th zone conquest, this one feels like we conquered it relatively easily. Of course, the workload is two to three times more than back then.”
I knew what he was trying to say.
The fact that the current process seems cleaner even though we’ve succeeded in conquering the entire dungeon, compared to when we conquered the 6th zone <Land Touched by Death>.
Indeed, at that time, I had fainted while fighting with Hwang Seong-yeon, and the damage suffered by clan members was also at a tremendous level… As a clan member in charge of operations, it was understandable to feel strange.
“This time, with the creation of the allied forces, much more troops were deployed than before. Both qualitatively and quantitatively, it was a conquest far ahead of previous ones.”
Moreover, the 7th zone conquest was a conquest that, although short, was thoroughly planned in its preparation process.
We had removed all the magical traps in the zone with magical tools created by the R&D team, and entered the battle with a perfect understanding of the strategies against Termen and vampires.
Plus, the great performances of myself and several clan members specialized in hunting dark attributes and evil tendencies-.
The fact that this conquest was easier than facing Hwang Seong-yeon.
This was a point I also acknowledged.
But-.
“Above all, there’s the most important point.”
“What point is that?”
The biggest achievement gained through this conquest.
“It’s that our clan’s combat power is not at all inferior to other large clans. As the clan’s overall strength greatly grew and reached a stage of completion, it seems that effect properly exploded in this conquest.”
Although I raised achievements by personally defeating the evil god Lumiel (School Head Flinklo), the performances of other clan members were not lacking at all.
Park Jin-woo and Camilla won against Vice School Head Dave (another descended evil god), and the clan vice-master, my master, easily defeated Termen Chief Warrior Tashmad.
Besides them, many clan members directly took down powerful members of the Ludenark School.
The individual performances of clan members were manifesting as great achievements for the entire allied forces.
The reason this conquest seemed easier was ultimately because the clan power at the center of the allied forces was excellent.
So, through this conquest, I was convinced.
‘We’re not falling behind.’
Even though our clan’s size might be slightly lacking, in terms of combat power and achievements, we’re not at all inferior to large clans.
When considering only the substance, at least a mid-sized clan or above.
Maybe even beyond that…
We might even be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the top 3 clans.
“Perhaps that’s the biggest achievement, don’t you think?”
The fact that the combat power of the <Evil Hunter> clan… Showed the possibility of reaching the highest echelons in the country, if not immediately.
That was the biggest achievement we gained through this conquest of <Room of the Deserter>.
