Episode 371
371
3.
The Deathbone Dragon Belzarak Draxion had been defeated.
The broadcast of Eternal World ended not long after, concluding with a message of gratitude for the viewership.
The live stream had ended remarkably quickly, almost anticlimactically.
Yet it had run for nearly thirty minutes, and its contents were far from ordinary.
The shockwaves were extraordinary.
So much so that Eternal World had even created a betting event for it.
But the event was completely overshadowed—all anyone could talk about was Yoo Sung-hyun’s feat.
[Title: What the heck is the Demon King????]
[Author: SoloRaidBoss]
『He cleared a World Raid Boss solo?????
And his minions were using secret techniques and causing chaos—is this even real????
Isn’t this basically a one-man guild rather than a one-man army????
I don’t think even Large Guilds could beat this???』
[NoHealSelfDestruct: Seems possible??? Can a single guild handle a World Raid Boss? Even top-ranking guilds in the top 10 would struggle. Wouldn’t the Demon King of Rapid be even stronger?]
└[SoloRaidBoss (Author): I think so too.]
└[LevelGrindAddict: Still, saying one person equals an entire guild is a bit much…]
└[NoHealSelfDestruct: You didn’t watch the stream, did you? Rapid is editing it and uploading it—watch it when it goes up;;;]
└[1 stamina dot: Please shut up if you don’t know ㅠㅠㅠ]
└[LevelGrindAddict: That’s all?;;;]
[Title: Rapid Guild skyrocketing;;;;]
[Author: OnlyLookAtMobs]
『Setting aside the fact that they now have two solo rankers….
They have a Demon King with over ten minions capable of using secret techniques;;;
Doesn’t that basically mean they’re commanding five solo rankers?』
[ShutUpAndEnhance: Hmmm, I know one Demon King is incredible, but saying one Demon King equals five solo rankers seems like a stretch???]
└[DealWithEyes: Yeah honestly I think one could beat it, but I’m not sure. Solo rankers probably wouldn’t fail to take down a 250-tier World Raid Boss.]
└[NoWeaponReal: Anyway, there’s no disagreement that the Demon King is at solo ranker level;;;;]
Yoo Sung-hyun’s evaluation skyrocketed inevitably.
Most had thought it would be difficult to defeat a World Raid Boss alone, but he had done it—so it was certainly an achievement worth acknowledging.
Opinions were divided: some said he was at solo ranker level, others said he probably hadn’t reached solo ranker status yet.
But the dominant consensus was that he had easily surpassed double ranker status.
People were discussing it extensively.
Then, suddenly, a few raised a question.
[Title: But what was that declaration of war?]
[Author: TankOrDealerWho]
『Right before the World Raid Boss started, the Riescan Kingdom Territory declared war on Rapid Guild—what was that all about????
Has there been any official statement????』
[Minion Expert: No clue? Nothing’s surfaced yet… Do you think an event’s about to happen?]
[Quest Buffer: The Demon King is basically a content factory;;;; Everything she does turns into an event????]
“So that’s why lol”
The discussion about the Silverrain Territory, which had declared war on the Rapid Guild, was flourishing.
With all eyes fixed on the Demon King—Yoo Sung-hyun—it felt as though his next destination had already been decided.
It was only natural that the next target of conversation would be the Silverrain Territory, which had declared war on Yoo Sung-hyun and his guild, the Rapid Guild.
[Title – If you’re active in Silverrain Territory, I recommend leaving.]
[Author – DungeonLurker]
『It’s not official yet….
A declaration of war means a state of warfare, and if the Rapid Guild freely marches into the Silverrain Territory, honestly, I don’t think they’ll last long.
It might resolve well, but just in case, I recommend getting out.
To be honest, if just the Demon King marches in there, the Silverrain Territory is finished.
Everyone should escape before it’s too late.』
A declaration of war means we’re in a state of war, and if the Rapid Guild freely invades the Silverrain Territory, honestly, I don’t think I can hold out for long.
I’d recommend dropping out just in case, even though it might work out fine.
Honestly, I think the Silverrain Territory would be ruined if just the Demon King invaded it.
I hope everyone escapes before it’s too late.
[Legend Detector: Sigh, honestly, bailing out is the right call.]
“Did I use a skill?: ○○○; If I think about that Yoo-na coming instead of the Demon King, I’ve already lost.”
[Party Disband King: How the Rapid Guild responds is also a problem, but honestly, I don’t think it’ll escalate to actual war? Even so, do they really need to clash with the Riescan Kingdom?]
└[Half-Health Retreat Standard: Exactly, it’s one of the largest kingdoms on the East Asia Server. The Valian Empire is said to be strong too, but the Riescan Kingdom holds more territory and fiefs… I don’t think it’ll come to war?]
Even as the dominant opinion was that war wouldn’t actually break out,
someone posted a comment.
[Damage Dealer Healer: Guys the official statement just dropped!!!! Check the Rapid Guild channel!!!]
└[No buff received: Oh really? Thanks thanks]
It was a comment saying the Rapid Guild had released an official statement.
4.
Rapid, the guild master of the Rapid Guild, who had been watching Yoo Sung-hyun’s event before suddenly being struck by a bolt from the blue, began investigating the facts as soon as his video ended.
After all, a declaration of war had come in, and deciding how to handle it ultimately fell to the guild master.
So after looking into it,
it was somewhat absurd.
“What is this…?”
Rapid, who professionally managed the guild, displayed the talents of what could be called a first-rate executive.
Her work was clean and her management operated at a high level of competence.
But this situation seemed somewhat absurd to her.
It was far too sloppy.
After all, war could be said to be nothing but a struggle for justification.
Yet they had declared war without any real justification.
Moreover,
‘They declare war while only attacking Yoo Sung-hyun?’
In most wars, to gain the upper hand, a declaration of war is issued just before striking the enemy’s main base, beginning the conflict.
But the Silverrain Territory, far from doing that, had instead deployed three Knights Orders solely to attack the individual Yoo Sung-hyun.
And even the Gold Guard Knight Order, known to be quite powerful at that.
As a result, they were annihilated in an instant by the world raid boss Belzarak Draxion.
Silverrain’s forces were already significantly depleted.
Meanwhile, Rapid Guild’s main base remained intact, and Yoo Sung-hyun was unscathed as well.
In fact, they were receiving tremendous rewards in the process.
‘This is absurdly foolish….’
I investigated from every angle, wondering if it might be a trap.
Instead, I came to understand what the Silverrain Territory truly was.
A noble house where stubborn-minded knights gathered.
Once I understood that, Rapid’s course of action seemed predetermined—she summoned the guild’s executives.
Not the usual operational executives she normally called upon.
The executives who actually handled the guild’s combat operations.
Skilled fighters including Kim Jin-woo assembled all at once, from Double Rankers to Triple Rankers, and finally.
“Yoo-na is entering.”
A murderous atmosphere swept through the gathering where even Yoo-na, a Single Ranker, had arrived.
Especially from Yoo-na.
“So which territory dared to pick a fight with our Yoo Sung-hyun?”
With just one word from Yoo-na, all the executives gathered here understood.
That Rapid Guild was beginning a war with the Silverrain Territory.
Since Yoo-na paid no mind to the Riescan Kingdom itself, one could be certain of this.
It was at that very moment that Rapid Guild decided to use their guild event ticket for this war.
[Rapid Guild]
『Greetings, this is Rapid, the guild master of Rapid Guild.
The reason I’m posting this on the community is because many have inquired about this declaration of war.
Rapid Guild will be going to war with the Silverrain Territory.
I would like to advise users active in Silverrain to leave that area if possible.』
Once the post containing such ominous content was uploaded.
The people’s reaction was inevitably explosive beyond measure.
5.
Just before Rapid Guild’s war was decided.
That is, it was Yoo Sung-hyun’s perspective right after the World Raid had just ended, before the post was uploaded to Rapid Guild’s channel community.
Though it seemed like a secret technique that would only be passed down among NPCs, users could actually use it, and the fact that they could was already widely known.
From Double Rankers onward, quite a few people used this technique.
In other words.
In the Eternal World enjoyed by a population of 2 billion, the number of users capable of using it was limited to barely under 100.
It was that rare and powerful a technique.
Yet it was not a technique that a user who had barely surpassed 250 should be able to use.
It was natural for viewers to be astonished, but there was one fact they didn’t know.
Secret techniques varied in their own right.
Secret techniques appeared in Lord-class skills or Lord-class martial arts, but even those Lord-class skills and Lord-class martial arts had their own tiers.
In other words.
‘Secret techniques also have grades.’
And the secret technique Yoo Sung-hyun had just unleashed.
Death Lord was one such secret technique.
Yoo Sung-hyun felt it more vividly than anyone else.
‘It’s different from usual.’
The concept of Void, created by blending the power of the Overlord with the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of the Abyss’s terror into one.
And the Overlord’s secret technique, which transcended that Void—Death Lord, a concept that made death itself a lord.
But Yoo Sung-hyun could certainly feel it.
‘It’s not complete.’
At first, I simply used it, but gradually I came to realize.
That the skills I’m currently using are not at their full power.
It’s true that I displayed the majesty befitting Death Lord, the Lord of Death.
After all, I literally bestowed death upon Belzarak Draxion, a World Raid Boss.
But that wasn’t its true power.
It was almost unbelievable, yet I had no choice but to believe it.
Because Helena’s memories had seeped into me.
Some of Helena’s memories, which I had already absorbed before, were released, allowing me to understand the true nature of Death Lord’s power.
To be honest.
‘If Helena had unleashed Death Lord when fighting Hindel, the world would have been destroyed.’
I could see just how patient Helena truly was.
If I could have drawn out more than half of Death Lord’s true power here, I could have already killed Belzarak Draxion with the first technique I used, Apocalypse.
Realizing this, I thought I needed to become stronger.
Because there was still a long way to go before I could reach where Helena could not.
Though the result was somewhat disappointing.
I didn’t mind it and smiled while gazing into the void.
Because this raid had given me far too much to gain.
First, the rewards from this raid were.
[Calculating rewards.]
[Apologies for the delay.]
Even the system seemed to need time to organize such an enormous amount.
I chuckled at the sight and first looked toward what I needed to absorb.
None other than.
