Chapter 206

 

Episode 206.

 

Bang! Crash!

 

“Huu… Ha. Let’s calm down. I need to stay composed at times like this.”

 

After briefly venting his fury from the extreme stress that felt like it would make his hair fall out.

 

Berjhe hastily canceled his meeting and sat in front of his half-destroyed desk, calmly observing public opinion.

 

From mockery about Leon to mockery about himself.

 

And finger-pointing at the guild, praise for Kaiser, statements of disbelief, and so on.

 

‘…This isn’t good.’

 

No matter how positively he tried to think about it, it wasn’t good.

 

Hero Guild’s image had hit rock bottom, and Leon was practically unable to recover for at least several months.

 

In contrast, Kaiser’s position had risen even higher.

 

[Kaiser’s response to Aison’s disciple offer currently causing controversy…]

 

[“Enhancement is just a hobby. I’m not thinking of taking it seriously yet. I only responded because you picked a fight.” Everyone faints at Kaiser’s answer]

 

[“Come find me anytime if you change your mind” Master craftsman Aison can’t give up despite Kaiser’s rejection and leaves room for possibility, becoming a hot topic. Just how much talent does he have!?]

 

[Craftsman Leon, is it his lack of qualifications? Or is Kaiser’s talent exceptional?]

 

But among all of this, what annoyed him most was definitely this.

 

-Hobby lmaooo is this iron wall for real.

 

-The man who even puts up an iron wall against Aison, ah, is he a god?

 

-??: Me? I’m a man who does enhancement as a hobby!

 

-Leon got completely destroyed by someone who just does reinforcement as a hobby, let’s hear his explanation lol

 

-Anyway, the Hero Guild can’t seem to find anyone decent. Getting beaten up by Kaiser all day long lol what are we gonna do with our dating sim gay.

 

“A hobby? A hobby?”

 

He didn’t know what kind of trick was used, but he had been thoroughly played.

 

To cause all this trouble and then call it a hobby.

 

This was an act that properly crushed not only the craftsman’s pride but also the pride of Hero Guild that the craftsman belonged to.

 

Berjhe, who had been properly hit, ran both hands through his hair.

 

Then he dry-washed his face and glared upward.

 

“…I had become too complacent.”

 

Having no choice but to watch Babylon’s mood?

 

He’ll naturally step aside in about a week anyway, so it won’t be too late to catch him then?

 

‘What was I thinking I could accomplish with that mindset.’

 

He had moved too safely, thinking the fish was already caught.

 

Kaiser, what kind of existence was that damn bastard.

 

Every time he made a perfect plan, strange variables would interfere and ruin things.

 

Last time it was Babylon’s protection, this time it was enhancement.

 

What’s next? What will block the way this time?

 

-It’s war, we need to crush him before he grows more, Master. No, it’s not even war. We need to proceed with elimination immediately. Mercilessly and thoroughly!

 

The Vice Master’s words were right.

 

“We can’t give him any more time.”

 

Now that his talent for enhancement had been discovered, who knows what else might be found.

 

Fortunately, he had rejected the position as master craftsman Aison’s disciple for now, but who knows which NPC might take notice next.

 

The Top 10 Guilds and players wouldn’t interfere, but the moment a high-authority NPC got involved, the plan would become completely useless.

 

“Deputy God.”

 

-Yes, yes Master!

 

At the thoroughly disciplined response coming from the communication orb, Berjhe spat out as if chewing.

 

“Post an announcement.”

 

-What kind of announcement…

 

“An official guild announcement declaring war on Kaiser.”

 

-…An official announcement?

 

Official guild announcement.

 

Literally officially revealing the guild’s schedule, expressing opinions to people, event schedules, and various other roles.

 

But among these, the most representative role was…

 

‘Owner of the armory, I don’t know why you’re protecting Kaiser, but you won’t be able to interfere anymore.’

 

To threaten other guilds and players not to interfere since there was this schedule on this day.

 

Until now they had interfered under the pretext of coincidence, but they couldn’t do that even after posting an official announcement.

 

-Understood. When should we set the time?

 

“Tomorrow we should be able to gather all the lieutenants including the Vice Master and elite combat members. Let’s do it then.”

 

-…Will that be okay? Won’t Babylon interfere?

 

“What’s the big deal about Babylon? Haven’t we ended up in this state because we’ve been watching out for this and that all along!”

 

Berjhe’s eyes flashed as he shouted in a voice that roared as if chewing.

 

Interfering after posting an official announcement?

 

He had even already confirmed that Babylon had official schedule tomorrow night.

 

If they helped in the midst of this, that would really be crossing the line.

 

‘I held back because I didn’t want to form a bad relationship with Babylon if possible… but you crossed the line first.’

 

Since he was aiming for the Top 10 Guilds anyway, Berjhe had secretly been thinking about Babylon’s position.

 

The owner of the armory was only famous for wealth and connections.

 

Unlike Demroc or Ahdeo, he had never shown himself directly achieving any great Achievement.

 

‘I won’t hesitate anymore.’

 

Whether he got on Babylon’s bad side or not, he decided not to care anymore.

 

Right now, crushing Kaiser was the most important thing.

 

So he decided to think only about that.

 

“Tomorrow will be his last day. Let’s make sure it happens.”

 

-Yes, Master.

 

Berjhe, who had cut off the communication orb, roughly threw the orb and stood up abruptly.

 

Then he calmly checked his equipment.

 

He could see equipment that was quite different from before. Berjhe’s expression was displeased looking at this.

 

‘The regrettable thing is that the enhancement of current equipment stops at +10… He said he’d do it after just getting the title, but it ended up like this… Tsk.’

 

He had obtained new equipment and already disposed of his previous equipment.

 

It was a bold choice he had made because Leon said he would enhance them soon, but with the situation turning out like this, he felt inwardly regretful.

 

But that was just about it. It didn’t matter anyway.

 

No matter how talented that bastard was at enhancement, it would be difficult to arm himself with +11 or higher within 3 days.

 

If he was lucky, he might get one or two pieces to +11.

 

‘The gap is large, so I can account for that much.’

 

Above all, that guy was alone.

 

Even if he got +12, there would be no variables.

 

This time for sure, Kaiser, that bastard had become a mouse trapped in a jar.

 

No matter what tricks he used, this time there would be no way to handle it…

 

‘…Right?’

 

But why was it.

 

In a situation similar to before, like Pavlov’s dog, he felt anxious for no reason.

 

With his heart beating more and more violently, Berjhe could finally calm his mind only after dismissing Deputy God and posting the announcement himself.

 

* * *

 

When the community was bustling with Leon and Kaiser’s affair.

 

A nuclear bomb big enough to cover all those events dropped.

 

[Hero Guild Official Announcement]

 

[Notice of Scheduled Execution of Kaiser’s Elimination]

 

[Recently Kaiser has crossed the line and we have repeatedly suffered great damage.

 

We had issued an elimination order for this, but due to frequent schedule overlaps with a certain guild by coincidence, we postponed it… but this incident caused damage to our affiliated craftsman… guild… (omitted)

 

Therefore, we can no longer stand by and watch. We are officially posting an elimination notice.

 

The schedule is tomorrow, so we ask for everyone’s understanding and hope there will be no mistakes.]

 

It was a sudden official statement from the Hero Guild.

 

Moreover, it wasn’t just an announcement.

 

“The announcement? Yes. That’s correct. Everyone knows there has been much discord between Kaiser and us lately.”

 

“This is clearly Kaiser’s fault. We will never forgive Kaiser.”

 

Berjhe was holding a press conference and giving interviews, which was being broadcast as official footage.

 

-Crazy….

 

-Is this for real?

 

-They’re going straight for the attack like this??

 

Naturally, the players couldn’t help but be shocked.

 

They never expected Berjhe, who they thought would make excuses about Leon or explanations about this incident, to suddenly declare war.

 

-It’s coming. Something big is coming. Need several diapers today lol

 

-I thought Berjhe was just a dating sim gay guy, but turns out he’s a real man;;

 

-For real, he seems seriously pissed lol No backing down.

 

-He has every right to be pissed lol He was already crying from getting his boss stolen, then suddenly his guild member gets beaten to death by the boss stealer and comes back excommunicated.

 

-Wow… why does Kaiser suddenly seem like the villain.

 

The content mocking the Hero Guild and Leon on various portal sites disappeared, and now there were only articles about the impending clash between the sword-drawn Hero Guild and Kaiser.

 

It was such big news that even the main banners changed.

 

Naturally, the community was boiling like a hot pot.

 

And for good reason—this time there was no one left to interfere with the vendetta.

 

-This way, even Babylon can’t approach until at least the vendetta is over

 

-Who would step forward when they’ve even posted an official announcement lol Whether it’s Kasingyeo or Babylon, the moment they step in, they’d be crossing the line.

 

-Kaiser is making things too big. He should use this opportunity to lay low, buy time, and grow, but this is just… even if he grows by tomorrow, he’ll only raise 1-2 levels at most. This is over.

 

-Honestly, I’m on Kaiser’s side, but… I admit this is the end;; I don’t see any answer.

 

-Anyway, I didn’t like them from the start. They must be acting up quite a bit, tsk tsk

 

From those who were favorable to those who viewed him unfavorably, everyone was talking about Kaiser’s crushing defeat.

 

It was natural.

 

No matter how great he was, Kaiser had just barely set foot on Imperial Lands.

 

Meanwhile, the Hero Guild were masters of vendettas.

 

Since it was a game where reaching max level was very difficult, not everyone would be maxed, but still, high-ranking lieutenants would typically be maxed out.

 

Moreover, Berjhe was someone who had achieved the most outstanding growth even compared to the highest-ranking lieutenants, so how could he be a match?

 

-Well, who knows. Maybe if Kaiser suddenly gets a few legendary skills or items and enhances everything to +12 or higher, he might be able to compete?

 

-Does that even make sense lol That’s basically telling him to just lose.

 

-Bullshit, even then he’d lose.

 

-Considering Kaiser’s skills, it might not be completely hopeless. Berjhe honestly hasn’t even cleared a single new continent yet.

 

-Honestly, isn’t Berjhe just riding on connections and popularity?

 

-Just because a dating sim gay guy is popular with women doesn’t mean you should hate on him like this;; Discuss what’s worth discussing.

 

-No, guys. This isn’t one-on-one, it’s a vendetta. No matter what Kaiser does, he’s destined to get ganged up on and die.

 

-But what’s Kasingyeo doing? They’re not the type to stay quiet in this situation.

 

-Right? Kasin is the undefeated general, the god of war, they should be making a fuss like fanatics, but they’re quiet.

 

Moreover, it wasn’t even one-on-one, but guild versus player.

 

The confrontation itself couldn’t be established.

 

While they were having meaningless debates about combat power, other communities were expressing doubts.

 

-The next room is fucking noisy.

 

-For real lol What’s the point of all that.

 

-Rather than that stuff, does anyone know what Kaiser is doing right now?

 

-Huh? That’s right? He probably didn’t run away… I don’t think so. Has anyone seen Kaiser?

 

The very Kaiser who had become the hot topic wasn’t showing even a glimpse of himself.

 

Considering how he had charged straight at the master Leon and showed a 30-to-1 massacre in Pratel, it seemed a bit strange to think he was hiding in fear.

 

-Maybe his playtime ran out again?

 

-lol No way

 

-That was fucking hilarious though. Ast and Berjhe’s dumbfounded expressions were art.

 

Just when they were seriously suspecting he might have been forcibly logged out.

 

-My friend saw him a couple hours ago.

 

A chat message appeared.

 

It was a witness’s chat that couldn’t help but draw everyone’s attention.

 

-Where? Where did they see him?

 

-Really? What was he doing?

 

Naturally, everyone focused, and soon the chat continued.

 

-Don’t know? He was just standing around blankly in the backstreets of Veron, Empire.

 

-? The backstreets of Veron, isn’t that the card farming sacred ground?

 

-Yeah, that’s right. He was making a fuss about something appearing in the alley, then got dragged away by Charlie. His mouth was all wrapped up in spider webs too.

 

-…?

 

A chat with somewhat difficult to understand content.
