Chapter 186

Episode 186.

‘What the hell is this situation.’

Dohyun was currently bewildered.

To be precise, it would be more accurate to say he felt awkward.

After coming out from defeating Luidra following a bloody fierce battle, too much attention was being focused on him.

The attention seemed to have doubled compared to before, so he couldn’t help but be concerned.

Among them, the Hero Guild members.

Especially the pot-bellied swordsman player standing at the front caught his eye the most.

‘…Looking at their expressions, it seems like this won’t just pass by quietly.’

It would be fortunate if it just didn’t pass by quietly.

In the case of that pot-bellied guy, judging by his eyes alone, he looked ready to commit murder. This must be what they mean when they say murderous intent flows from someone’s eyes.

‘Those guys’ movements seem a bit strange, Owner?’

‘Master… It seems we should prepare.’

‘Rizariza.’

‘Yeah, I know too.’

And it took only a few seconds for them to put that into action.

Step. Step. Step. Step.

Those who had been emanating a menacing aura began to surround Dohyun and close the distance.

While doing so, they started drawing their weapons one by one. Usually when forming a formation and surrounding someone, it’s common to do it inconspicuously.

But these guys didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding their hostility.

“Hey, they’re all surrounding Kaiser?”

“…Don’t tell me they’re trying to kill Kaiser right now?”

“Crazy… This is huge news. I need to spread this on the community right away.”

It wasn’t because Kaiser was experienced with such situations that he was perceptive.

Even the raid team members who were watching could immediately see through it.

-Hey hey, the atmosphere doesn’t look good.

-Look at Jerpak’s expression. He looks ready to go gang mode in real life.

-Something big is coming, one hundred percent. Get ready to clip this, guys.

-Today is really insane.

-How will Kaiser react? I’m getting nervous for no reason.

Even the viewers watching the broadcast were sensing the ominous atmosphere and whispering among themselves.

‘No way, they’re going this far?’

For Dohyun, this was somewhat bewildering.

He didn’t know it was being broadcast, but there were already over a hundred players watching here.

In this situation, thirty people were surrounding one person to kill him?

They’re supposedly a top 100 guild with a heroic image, but isn’t this going too far?

No matter how angry they are, this seems a bit excessive…

‘…Or not?’

Come to think of it, it seemed reasonable enough.

To summarize the current situation.

They had formed a raid team to tackle a hidden raid boss, and when they finally encountered the boss, he had barged in, caused chaos, and then stolen the boss.

That alone was enough to make them angry, but he had even killed the boss.

Since it was a Named Boss that wouldn’t respawn, the boss was essentially deleted.

‘Was it called the Savior of Forgotten Souls? If this happens, won’t the Quest be deleted too?’

…Even if they wanted to fight him in real life, he’d have nothing to say?

No matter that Dohyun had no such intention and this situation came about unintentionally, there was no way such things would register in their eyes right now.

Even Dohyun himself would have asked for their address if he were in their position.

[Using Movement Scroll.]

[Still affected by the special field ‘Nightmare Marsh’, usage is currently unavailable.]

[Available for use in 240 seconds.]

Even the movement scroll was on cooldown.

“Kaiser…!!”

“The Master has given direct orders. Don’t worry about the aftermath and thoroughly eliminate Kaiser!”

“We must kill him at all costs. The opponent is Kaiser. Don’t let your guard down and go full power from the start!”

In other words, there was no chance for explanation or anything – he had to fight no matter what.

Dohyun sighed and gripped Cheonbyeon again.

[Cheonbyeon (Thousand Changes) transforms into ‘Raven’s Black Spear’.]

In a situation like this where he had to face multiple opponents alone, a spear with longer reach was better than a sword.

Dohyun gripped it with both hands and took his stance, then glanced to the side.

[Health is below 10%. Please be careful.]

[Mana is below 10%. Please be careful.]

Both his health and mana were showing rock bottom.

Moreover, most of his skills were all on cooldown.

Thunder Dragon Descent was still nowhere near ready, and Sword Aura was still on cooldown too. Even if it were available, he practically couldn’t use it due to mana constraints.

The worst conditions and situation in every way.

‘It’s been a while. This kind of situation.’

However, Dohyun actually raised the corners of his mouth.

Disadvantageous conditions? Fighting against multiple opponents?

He had experienced this countless times during his Demroc days.

Back then, not being at a disadvantage was actually rarer, and in the end, it was always Dohyun who remained standing.

This time would be no different.

Thwack!

“Now’s the time, kill him!!”

“Crush him! Let’s settle this today!”

As the distance closed to some degree, seeing the guys charging from all directions, Dohyun swung Cheonbyeon in a wide arc.

‘Yeah, let’s give it a try.’

The great Battle of Luidra that would mark a milestone in Godseeker history.

It was the moment when the myth of one versus thirty began.

* * *

Lair of Luidra.

The hidden field where a hidden Named Raid Boss ‘used to be’.

This place had now become a battlefield.

Slash-! Splurt! Swoosh-

The sound of skin being cut by spears and blood splattering.

Stab! Stab stab! Stab!

Kraaak! Aaaaah!

What else could this place be but a battlefield, filled with the chilling sounds of swords piercing organs and screams?

However, unlike other battlefields where the numbers were somewhat similar, this was a one versus many fight.

No, this wasn’t a fight.

It was just an execution. A stage solely for hunting down one human.

A grand stage where the Hero Guild was the protagonist, Kaiser was the villain, and the audience consisted of viewers who had reached 150 million.

‘What is this…’

But what was this supposed to mean?

“Kuhheok!”

“Damn it, we can’t get close.”

“My, my body is too slow and won’t respond.”

Kaiser, who should have been miserably getting schooled, was magnificently running wild.

[Exposed to Ice Current, movement speed decreases.]

[Prolonged exposure to Ice Current causes frostbite status.]

As soon as the battle began, he used the ice technique to slow down the guild members, then instead dove inward and began picking them off one by one.

Whoosh- Slash!

Kraaak!

Kaiser charging forward while wielding a massive spear.

Even with attacks coming from all directions, as if he had four eyes, he lightly dodged or blocked with ghostly footwork.

And whenever that happened, a counter would inevitably fly back.

Swoosh- Thud!

Whip-!

Even while doing this, he dodged ranged attacks by ducking his head or twisting his body – it was truly divine control.

However, the Hero Guild members were also masters who had made names for themselves in PvP.

“Now’s our chance!”

No matter how skilled a player was, there had to be openings when attacking.

They weren’t newbies who would miss such timing.

But that monster showed the miraculous ability to eliminate even those timings.

[Cheonbyeon (Thousand Changes) transforms into ‘Special Shield Made at Special Forge’.]

While crossing spears, it suddenly changed into a shield, deflecting the surprise attack and pushing back.

Crash-

As their center collapsed and they fell, guild members toppled like dominoes one after another.

Then the weapon that had become a blue sword pierced through necks.

[Player ‘Joseon First Sword’ has died.]

[Judged as making the first attack, probability of dropping equipment items increases.]

As another guild member tried to swing his sword behind the pathetically dead companion, Kaiser kicked him down.

Then he threw his sword toward a guild member drawing a bowstring in the distance.

Swoosh- Thunk!

The weapon that became a dagger mid-flight precisely pierced the archer’s heart.

“N-now’s our chance!”

“What are you all doing! Get in there!”

“Look at the situation here before talking. What the hell is this damn spider web? I can’t lift my feet!”

Just when they thought an opportunity had arisen, interference would inevitably come.

-Those who dare point swords at my Master must get past this Charlie first!

-Rizariza! Risa!

It was Charlie, all too familiar to any player of Godose, and a small spider standing proudly with puffed chest, spouting incomprehensible words.

While Kaiser dove inward applying area-wide slowing effects and picking them off individually.

Those two played the role of tying down those targeting Kaiser from behind.

Here, having large numbers actually worked against them.

With no proper formation and everyone tangled up, they couldn’t fight with proper positioning.

-You there, do you know who you’re pointing your sword at with such empty skills? You’re a hundred years too early.

Kaiser alone was overwhelming enough, but those two were also beyond expectations.

Charlie, who had been nothing but trash in the tutorial.

His swordsmanship that deflected all attacks like an irresistible wave truly showed what a knight commander was.

-Hmm?

And even more impressive was his aggro skills.

-You there, now that I look at you, it’s not just your skills that are empty. With such an empty head, isn’t your head indeed empty?

“Pfft!”

“That, that bastard…!”

“Hey you! This isn’t the time to lose focus! Watch your back!”

With his characteristic fluid swordsmanship holding down several at once, that spider would shoot strange webs to bind their feet.

And if anyone occasionally tried to break free, he’d even use verbal attacks to hold them down.

-Look at Charlie’s verbal DPS, the damage meter’s going to explode.

-That damn Charlie bastard. I didn’t like him from the start. Son of a bitch.

-From today I’m studying videos of dying to Charlie in tutorial 30 times each.

-Look at those balding uncles getting triggered lol

-Ah really lol touching on baldness is too much. All the bald people in the world are crying.

The chat was an ocean of laughter at this rare spectacle.

But Jerpak couldn’t laugh like them.

‘Th-this doesn’t make sense.’

No human could do this.

‘We have the overwhelming advantage. That guy can’t even use proper skills!’

Numerical advantage? Depleted mana?

None of that was providing any benefit.

Just one skill.

Thirty elite guild members couldn’t overcome even a single ice technique that dealt no damage.

Swoosh- Thunk!

Slash! Crack! Crunch-

-Ugh, listen to that bone twisting sound. That broke properly.

-Aren’t you going to fight?

-I don’t have mana, you know? Don’t worry, I’m confident in running away!

-Risa…

It would be less frustrating if he at least had that famous undead legion from the videos.

At least he could console himself that the numbers were similar.

But that wasn’t the case either.

Undead? That robed dwarf was practically just baggage.

This was essentially a 3 vs 30 battle.

-Wow, is it real that he’s overwhelming 30 vs 1?

-No, what’s Hero Guild doing? How can 30 people not catch 1 person lol

-You can see for yourself. Could you catch that? Hero Guild is still good at PvP at least. Kaiser’s just insane.

-Is it real that Kaiser isn’t using any skills in all this? Why isn’t he using them?

-Seems like he’s using ice technique… But he’s not using others. Is he low on mana?

-Ah, right. He just finished a raid.

-What, then his HP is probably low too. So 30 people are getting wrecked by one Kaiser who has no mana and is in bad condition?

-Really pathetic lol

And in this 30 vs 3 battle, they were being overwhelmed.

They were getting completely destroyed, so to speak.

Overwhelming specs? Damage and defense that didn’t match his level?

Charlie’s fluid swordsmanship?

No. What created this situation wasn’t just those things.

‘…Does this make sense? How can a person move like that?’

Overwhelming skill.

Only that could explain this situation.

As the chat messages said, Kaiser wasn’t even using skills right now.

Just by appropriately handling ice technique and various weapons, he was creating this absurd picture.

‘Ah…’

Jerpak, who prided himself on his control skills, was seeing such out-of-spec movement for the first time.

That was no longer fighting.

Art, or perhaps a thrill.

Gulp.

Swallowing dry saliva at the chilling sensation, Jerpak suddenly thought.

‘…Maybe we shouldn’t have messed with him?’
