Episode 373
373
0.
Before Belzarak arrived at Silverrain Territory.
Rapid Guild was in the midst of bustling preparations for war.
In truth, there wasn’t much to prepare for a war.
After all, they were characters in a game, and their bodies—which barely required military supplies—were little more than digital forms.
Yet there was certainly much to be done.
Rapid and the other guild executives were busy making preparations.
For what?
Naturally, for a guild event.
A guild event issued directly by Eternal World.
Using it, they had secured approval even within Eternal World itself.
Now was the perfect moment, right after Yoo Sung-hyun’s World Raid Boss event had concluded.
‘We’re almost there!’
Rapid muttered to herself, unable to contain her delight.
The World Raid Boss broadcast had just ended.
If they transitioned into the Rapid Guild event, they could draw in all those viewers.
After all, Rapid Guild was the only guild capable of hosting a guild event right now.
Everyone was preparing the guild event broadcast with that very intention in mind.
It was essentially a guild promotion event.
Their sentiment was to overcome the fact that they had somehow become a small, elite force.
While Rapid and the other guild management executives were working hard like this.
The combat members gathered one by one, all watching carefully for signs.
Unlike their usual lively atmosphere, the mood had grown cold and heavy, and everyone was staring at one place.
That place was none other than.
“Hmm.”
Yoo-na—or rather, Yoo Mi-na as she was known at home—was maintaining her sword with an expression far colder and more detached than usual, her eyes gleaming with an icy chill as she watched over the blade.
The guild members who were learning for the first time that she could emanate such a terrifying atmosphere whenever her younger sibling was involved.
None of them dared to speak carelessly.
Of course, Silverrain Territory was a domain where members could be active from level 300 to 350.
Everyone felt somewhat tense.
Rapid had now climbed to second place in guild rankings, so there were quite a few guild members over level 300, but the majority remained in the late 200s.
Even Luna Team—Yoo Sung-hyun’s backup unit, or rather what could now be called his personal guard—had only recently surpassed level 250.
So the majority could be said to be in the mid-to-late stages.
Because of this, they briefly wondered if this coming war might be more formidable than expected.
But seeing Yoo-na’s demeanor, each of them thought.
‘It won’t take long.’
‘We’ll get to see Yoo-na’s true power.’
‘It’ll be over by today.’
‘Not today, but wouldn’t it all be over within a few hours?’
‘Can that even be called a war?’
Such thoughts crossed my mind.
But I didn’t voice them.
While Yoo-na waited in that state.
A message from Rapid came down.
[All units, prepare for sortie. Yoo Sung-hyun will arrive at Silverrain Territory shortly.]
The event preparations were complete, and once Yoo Sung-hyun finished his own preparations, the message descended.
At those words, everyone rose from their positions, and led by Yoo-na, they all began to move forward, emanating an ominous aura.
And Yoo-na, standing at the very front, spoke.
“I’ll go first.”
At that quiet, chilling declaration, everyone trembled.
What would happen, truly?
In that moment when everyone held their breath.
The war began.
And it was overwhelmingly one-sided.
1.
The appearance of the colossal Deathborn Dragon was clearly visible on E-World’s official website live stream.
A sudden guild event.
And since it was an exclusive event of Rapid Guild, it was only natural that people’s attention converged on it.
People couldn’t help but cheer when they saw the event unfold after the World Raid Boss concluded.
Two major events in a single day.
And that too.
-If Yoo-na’s participating, it’s a guaranteed watch!!!!
-There’s no way anyone’s staying in Silverrain Territory, right???
Hahahaha seriously, of all people to mess with, why’d it have to be Rapid hahahaha
-Wait, isn’t this the first time a Territory and Guild are fighting???
It seems like it might be the first time across all servers, not just the East Asia Server?
“…and this should be worth watching lol”
-Foreigners are flooding in too!!!
This time it was Rapid Guild’s official YouTube channel, not E-World’s official one, and naturally the viewers began to explode exponentially.
Guild event rights didn’t broadcast for free; instead, E-World would share the guild’s YouTube channel, and based on the viewer count, E-World would provide support equivalent to the usual guild live ticket price.
This pumping effect allowed tens of millions of viewers to gather—numbers that even Rapid, which usually drew millions of viewers, couldn’t achieve on their own—while E-World covered the ticket costs, creating a win-win situation for both the viewers and Rapid Guild.
Of course, it could be seen as a significant financial loss for E-World, but conversely, when viewers from around the world gathered like this, E-World could gain considerable benefits as well.
So they frequently distributed guild event rights.
However, since a Territory versus Guild matchup had never happened before, it was an event that could sufficiently capture viewers’ interest, and since it was right after the World Raid Boss broadcast ended.
Attention couldn’t help but focus on it all at once.
Starting with tens of millions of viewers, it soon soared to 70 million, and the viewers themselves were equally excited.
Look at the viewer count lol;;;;
-It’s insane;;;;
-Rapid being a Korean Guild really stirs the heart.
-ㅋㅋㅋ By the way, will MeTube open a chat window for each country?;;;;
That’s crazy, seriously lol
If you’re bored, go check out chat rooms from other countries, you pervert lol
There were plenty of chats from guilds in other nations and those consumed by envy and jealousy.
Yet the viewer count never decreased.
Though they harbored jealousy and resentment, they were genuinely curious about the war between Rapid Guild and Silverrain Territory.
And with E-World’s official commentary on top of it all.
It was an opportunity not to be missed.
[The virtuous residents of Silverrain Territory have already completed their evacuation to other territories.]
[Furthermore, even if Silverrain Territory falls, we guarantee the living rights of all users who were active there.]
[There is a system in place allowing you to relocate your base to another territory or city, so please have no concerns.]
Several viewers exhaled in relief upon reading those words.
-Phew, I thought everything would be destroyed.
-Thought I’d lose my land?
-I should move to a better territory while I’m at it.
Haha, I actually like it better.
Hahaha, Silverrain Territory was nice and all, but there are plenty of better territories out there.
Haha, glad I did well.
The viewers felt reassured after confirming the system’s announcement.
But there was something else that piqued their curiosity even more.
-What the hell???????????
-Wait, did they just resurrect the World Raid Boss they caught earlier???
-Looking at the trademark cyan glow in its eyes and the steam it’s spewing… it seems like a Minion???
-?????They’re literally enslaving a World Raid Boss???
-Not literally as-is, but still, it’d be way stronger than a regular Bone Dragon;;;;
-How the hell is this even possible???
-Even the Solo Ranker couldn’t manage this, and now???
With such thoughts swirling, everyone chattered away.
Most simultaneously recalled the one Solo Ranker in Rapid Guild and typed in the chat.
-Oh??? So we can watch a sibling war???
-Huh???? You’re right???
– Haha, I’m looking forward to the sibling chemistry.
Haha, I’m curious though.
I can’t forget the look of absolute disgust on your face back then, haha.
-Haha, so we’ll get to see who’s stronger between the older sister and younger sister.
-Ooh, this could be comparison content too.
Everyone was curious whether the Solo Ranker and Yoo Sung-hyun could even stand against each other.
So the viewers’ attention was bound to intensify.
And indeed it did.
Several viewers typed in the chat as soon as the video began and members of the Rapid Guild appeared.
-It’s the Rapid Guild members!!!
-Yoo-na is at the front!!!
-Wow!!!!!!!! Are they going to attack first???
-Sister Yoo-na!!!!!!!!
-Sister, I’m dying!!!!
-That actually looks deadly, what is that?!!?!?
While everyone was typing playful comments.
The moment Yoo-na released her aura, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
A vast presence suddenly manifested.
And Yoo Sung-hyun, watching from the sky above, trembled slightly.
I had thought that perhaps I could now compete with a single-rank ranker.
But seeing this, my thoughts shifted somewhat.
‘She’s stronger than Belzarak?’
Just from the aura alone it was evident, but witnessing the moment she unleashed her power, Yoo Sung-hyun muttered in disbelief.
“Insane.”
“Oh? Your sister Yoo-na has considerable talent too? To have already drawn it out like that.”
Even Helena, watching from the side, couldn’t help but admire such talent.
Since Yoo Sung-hyun had just recently drawn out the secret technique of the sword himself, he could see it clearly.
His sister Yoo-na’s secret technique.
A will and an entire world began to dwell within the blade.
Among secret techniques, one of the highest tier.
Yoo-na’s eyes gleamed as she drew out one of the secret techniques she had recently acquired and unsheathed her sword.
The moment Yoo-na drew her blade.
The sword flashed brilliantly, and simultaneously a tremendous sword strike capable of cleaving through everything flowed forth, in an instant precisely bisecting the Silverrain Territory from the outer walls to the inner castle and half of the entire territory.
———————!!!!
A single sword strike of staggering magnitude that split the territory in half.
Though it was called a secret technique, the fact that the territory was split down the middle after expanding the range and wielding the sword like that was truly shocking.
The territory was cleaved at the very moment when everyone was watching Belzarak floating in the sky and couldn’t help but be astounded.
Since half the territory from the city wall was split in two, it had to be a significant blow to begin with.
Here, Yoo Sung-hyun also refused to be outdone, smirking as he snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The moment Yoo Sung-hyun snapped his fingers.
Immediately, Belzarak, whom he was riding, cried out.
-I shall obey the master’s command——.
With that cry, he opened his massive maw, and energy began to condense within it.
However, it wasn’t just Belzarak’s energy gathering.
Yoo Sung-hyun’s power—darkness and fear, death magic, hellfire, and blood—all blended together and began to condense.
Yoo Sung-hyun grinned wickedly and muttered.
“Still not as much as during the world raid boss, but.”
With those words, a tremendous surge of power erupted from Belzarak’s maw, spreading wide across the entire Territory.
Black, suffocating dread and spectral forms, heat fiercer than Hell itself, and the blood-soaked aura that could cleave through all things—all of it coalesced into darkness, and the breath of shadow that was unleashed shattered everything in its path.
Buildings, earth, everything was swept away as all those beneath a certain threshold of power were annihilated.
The only survivors were knights exceeding level 300.
Yet even they were far from unscathed.
The breath of darkness had inflicted grievous wounds upon them.
All bore the marks of injury.
Certainly, those with levels higher than 300 suffered only grazes, but several who had faced Yoo-na’s blade strikes bore severed arms or deep lacerations.
Truly, an ambush beyond all measure.
An assault so devastating it had obliterated an entire Territory—and in that moment when they could scarcely gather their wits,
Yoo Sung-hyun chuckled softly from above, murmuring to himself.
“But it’s not over yet.”
With those words, hundreds of thousands of corpses that had fallen throughout the Territory rose as the Death Legion, surging toward the knights positioned at the center.
In a situation that would have driven anyone to panic, several knights could perceive it.
As the Death Legion of hundreds of thousands bore down upon them, a verdant mist rose between their ranks, and within it, light flickered and flashed in rapid succession.
Then a tremendous explosion bloomed forth.
