Chapter 237

Episode 237.

“Ahdeo….”

“Still slow as ever, Owner of the armory. Is it alright to be so distracted with a boss right in front of you?”

Ast clicked his tongue as he looked at the noble paladin gazing down at him with a cynical expression.

‘He brought every bit of force he could muster.’

It wasn’t just Ahdeo who had appeared.

Five paladins revealing themselves behind Ahdeo.

From those wearing gleaming armor, considerable amounts of divine power flowed out, though not as much as Ahdeo’s.

‘The Holy Ten Knights.’

Unlike other Top 10 Guilds that had anywhere from 20 to 50 officers, The King’s officer-level paladins were uniquely composed of only ten members.

Bringing them meant he had brought his full force.

The King was essentially centered around Ahdeo and the Holy Ten Knights – they were the guild’s everything.

As such, each of them easily surpassed officers from other guilds.

‘Five of them… Looks like he hastily gathered what he could. He must have left the rest on the New Continent, right? Well, they have ongoing business there, so a complete stop would be unreasonable.’

The situation with other guilds probably wasn’t much different.

Kraaaaaah-!

Hearing the boss’s roar, Ast finished assessing the situation and clicked his tongue.

“Ha, acting all high and mighty when you’re just stealing?”

“That’s quite amusing. I clearly attacked first, didn’t I, Owner of the armory.”

“Yeah, you’re so great. Bastard. Won’t you get out since you’re in the way? Before I grind you all up completely.”

“If you can.”

A murderous atmosphere flowed through their strange war of nerves.

Step, step, step, step.

Dozens of Babylon guild members lined up behind Ast and five Holy Ten Knights standing to the side.

Clearly they had the numerical advantage, but everyone knew.

If they clashed like this, neither side would emerge unscathed.

Kraaaaaah-!!

At that moment, the boss conveniently threw a tantrum.

The boss, having suddenly lost one arm, went wild and swung its remaining arm.

As thunderous sounds rang out continuously and the ground shattered, the standoff between the two also ended.

There was nothing good about clashing in this situation.

Whoosh- Thud.

Ahdeo descended from above, dodging the rampaging boss’s blind attack with a whoosh, and swung his sword with fluid movements.

Then divine power exploded from the sword tip, causing an explosion.

The boss, whose already poor vision had been blinded, rolled pathetically on the ground crying out in pain.

Looking down coldly at such a boss, Ahdeo continued speaking.

“Let’s deal with the boss first for now.”

“…Tch, that would be better. We don’t know when that Xiao bitch will return.”

“Cheonoechen? I saw them on the way here. They’re about 1km away.”

“Considering Pegasus’s speed, they’ll be here in an instant. I have no intention of yielding to that bitch, so don’t interfere.”

Ahdeo, who knew their relationship, also agreed.

“Only to that bitch….”

Then his expression became strange as he repeated those words for a moment.

It was an expression as if the situation was turning interesting.

“Cheonoechen wasn’t the only one I saw on the way.”

“Then who else is there? I saw Ernest and Leonore earlier.”

“No, not those guys. You seem unaware. More people are gathering than you think. There are many unexpected ones too. For instance… that woman.”

“That woman?”

Looking at Ast tilting his head as if asking what that meant, Ahdeo smiled slightly.

The words that came from his mouth were brief.

“The crazy bitch with clear eyes.”

“Ah.”

With that one short explanation, Ast nodded as if he didn’t need to hear more.

‘…That’s certainly an unexpected person.’

There was no description more fitting than that to describe that woman.

Ast shook his head as if sick of just thinking about it, then paused at a companion who suddenly came to mind.

Come to think of it, Kaiser, that guy was also here.

Though communication had been cut off, that guy would surely be doing something.

And the fact that woman had also come here meant… that crazy bitch might meet Kaiser.

‘…That would be interesting?’

Ast’s lips curled slightly at his companion’s reaction that he could somehow imagine.

* * *

-Ahdeo appeared!!

-What, wasn’t Ahdeo in the Forbidden Forest? How did he arrive so quickly?

-Seems he was coming to the Main Continent for business when the world quest opened.

-The aura of Ahdeo and the Holy Ten Knights is amazing… Just watching is overwhelming.

-Ahdeo melted the boss right after appearing lololol

-Seeing the demon beast cry after losing its arm was so satisfying.

The community was buzzing with The King guild’s unexpected intrusion.

No one had imagined that Ahdeo, who should still be on the New Continent, would participate so quickly.

The King guild, having made a spectacular entrance, continued their unstoppable momentum afterward.

[The second great disaster, ‘The Demon Beast of the Deepest Underground’ has been defeated.]

[Differential bonus points will be awarded based on ranking of major contributions to defeating the great disaster.]

-1st place : Ahdeo

-2nd place : Ast

-3rd place : Lepiass

….

They proudly pushed aside Babylon and claimed 1st place in the conquest, spreading their reputation.

-Damn, he’s reclaiming 1st place right off the bat ㄷㄷ

-Ast’s stunned expression after losing 1st place right before his eyes is hilarious lololol

-Cheonoechen didn’t even make it into the rankings.

And it wasn’t just about conquering the boss.

After that, they showed such dramatic progress that it seemed meaningless they had joined late, steadily accumulating conquest points.

Their speed was notably faster compared to other Top 10 Guilds.

-Paladins get stronger when facing evil, and Ahdeo is especially extreme in that regard, so it’s natural.

-Isn’t this basically an Ahdeo-exclusive buff dungeon at this point lololol

-For real, paladins are X broken.

-It’s not paladins that are broken, it’s Ahdeo. Does that unique ability even make sense? With transcendent traits and items all being opposite attribute counters, his damage is insanely high.

-Ahdeo is god, Ahdeo is god.

-How impudent. That’s a chant that should only be used for the almighty Kashin!

-That almighty Kaiser isn’t even showing his nose right now? Was he a bubble? Sub-Top 10 Guild level?

-Bubble is bullshit, that’s going too far. He’s just low level still, what bubble nonsense. He’s proven himself in many ways but there are still haters.

-He’s just trying to draw aggro. Don’t feed the troll.

So even among the situation where countless high rankers had gathered, Ahdeo inevitably received particular attention.

But there was one group gaining fame no less than him.

They weren’t NPC-affiliated high rankers, nor a Top 10 Guild.

-Breaking news, Kashin Church members active wearing robes.

-They’re all wearing masks lololol looks like watching some cult religion, really makes my heart swell.

-Wait, why are the Kashin Church guys fighting so well? At that level, aren’t they already a guild?

-I heard there are many from other guilds too, is that really true?

-Oh, so what Berge said was actually true? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Berge’s grievances have finally been cleared.

-Honestly, it was too ugly~ They brought it upon themselves~

-Whatever the hell, the fact that the Berze Kashin Church conspiracy theory is real is hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ No seriously, why is this actually true.

Kashin Church.

What had been merely a fan cafe began to wield influence at some point, and now had become a force that could no longer be ignored.

-I just saw Fanatic.

And among them, Fanatic was undoubtedly the best.

-With that appearance wielding a greatsword, it’s terrifying. Why are her eyes so clear when fighting? Anyone would think she’s just out for a neighborhood stroll.

-Leave her be, she’s a crazy bitch.

-I still don’t understand that woman’s behavioral patterns. She smiles sweetly then suddenly cuts off heads – what kind of thought process is that?

-There’s one thing we know. She gets happy when you praise Kaiser.

-What if you insult Kaiser?

-Your head gets cut off immediately. Her eyes aren’t clear at those times either.

The sight of a woman wielding a greatsword larger than her own body was abnormal in many ways.

Even with blood splattered on her face, she didn’t blink an eye, instead maintaining those clear eyes – it was truly eerie.

Most people wouldn’t even associate with her, but there are always opposing views wherever you go.

There were quite a few who found her contrasting appearance charming instead.

-But she’s really pretty though… Gap moe is amazing.

-What moe? You haven’t been killed by that bitch. You won’t say that after getting trampled. She’s just a crazy woman.

-A pretty psycho… I want to get trampled too.

-Crazy bastard.

-Would she accept if I confessed?

-Ugh, this is the harm of lookism.

A pretty face like Western nobility and slender arms.

An exotic figure with curves in all the right places, contrasting with that appearance.

It was an appearance that no man could help but notice.

Anyway, her appearance that drew attention from various angles was enough to capture people’s interest, and most of them were curious.

-So what is Kashin Church doing now? I thought they wouldn’t be interested in this kind of thing, but they seem to be strategizing?

-No, they’re not strategizing, they’re massacring.

-?? What massacre?

-They say since God has disappeared, they dare not strategize among themselves first.

-That’s pretty crazy, but what does that have to do with massacre?

-They’re going around killing everyone who insults Kaiser, saying they must eliminate heretics before meeting God.

-Damn;; Total fanatic;; The madness is insane.

-You have to be that crazy to see a genius. At that level in 6 months, if she started at launch, wouldn’t she already be Top 10 Guild level?

-Her personal combat ability is already almost Top 10 Guild Master level.

-Hey, isn’t that a bit exaggerated? No matter what, she’s not Top 10 Guild level yet.

Following The King’s Ahdeo, now Kashin Church and Fanatic too.

In the community engaged in heated debates over these various hot topics, there was no longer any mention of Kaiser.

Of course, occasionally stories about Kaiser would come up.

-What is Kaiser doing?

-It’s a bit strange that Kaiser is this quiet.

-Considering his past actions, he might be causing some trouble again.

It wasn’t baseless talk.

Kaiser’s past actions had been one of two things.

-Either openly dropping bombs, or secretly throwing nuclear bombs.

Thinking of such history, this time it could be said to be the latter.

They earnestly expounded that he might be preparing some massive nuclear bomb, but since it was filled with talk about such famous figures, they were overwhelmed by the sheer firepower.

Even when chats occasionally appeared, they were buried in less than a second.

Even when responses about him occasionally came up, most just treated them as conspiracy theories.

-No matter how much it’s Kaiser, does that make sense, you bastard.

-Well, looking at his past actions, it’s not incomprehensible… but this time is a bit much.

-I can accept that he’s doing something. I can even accept that it might be a hidden piece.

-But it’s not like a nuclear bomb lol. It’s crawling with top 10 guilds and high rankers, but there’s still too big of a level gap for now.

-True, maybe later but not yet.

-Ernest dropping a nuclear bomb would be more plausible.

-Why Ernest?

-He stopped in a corner and was controlling the surroundings? Seems like he discovered something and is proceeding with it.

Thus Kaiser gradually fell to lower priority in the players’ minds.

Therefore, people couldn’t even imagine.

What was happening beneath the ground they were standing on.

* * *

[Unbelievable…]

The Guardian looked ahead with eyes filled with shock.

What he saw was the miserably shattered floor and walls of the cave.

More precisely, it was the man standing upright upon them.

Swish.

The Guardian’s gaze dropped slightly downward.

The man was extending his sword.

The White Lion’s Snow Flower Sword he had once used.

The sword containing white lions and snow flowers was extended straight toward him,

Tap.

The tip of that sword finally touched his chin.

The Guardian, who had been looking at the unwavering eyes and sword tip despite his swaying body, cleared his dazed expression.

[Remarkable swordsmanship. To think it was a sword that overcame such things, not just some bestowed blade.]

He smiled as if pleased and declared.

[You pass.]

A declaration announcing Kaiser’s success.

Ding-

[Hidden event ‘Belief of the Old King’ has ended.]

[You have proven your qualification to receive belief from the Guardian of the Forgotten Tomb, ‘Belief of the Old King’.]

[You have achieved an Unbelievable Achievement. Due to the effect of the title ‘Unbelievable Achievement’, all stats increase by +5.]

[You can obtain treasure from the Guardian.]

[A special event will open when you acquire the treasure.]

…

[Through extreme swordsmanship utilization, your swordsmanship proficiency has reached LV30.]

[You have learned the 2nd technique of Reverse Heaven Period .]

‘I didn’t expect to break through it like this.’

Dohyun grinned while looking at the feast of countless messages that appeared.

It was an unexpected harvest.
