Chapter 270

Episode 270.

[Kaiser properly clashed with a top 10 guild!!]

A post suddenly uploaded to the Godseeker homepage.

└? What do you mean?

└Why would Kaiser and a top 10 guild suddenly fight?

└Are you talking about killing Sina? But honestly, it’s hard to judge whether he really won since there are only photos showing how he killed her.

└There’s still someone stubbornly denying it lololol Top 10 guild 【 Kaiser is the established truth, you know?</p】

└That’s just talk. Do you really believe that;; Top 10 guilds aren’t just anyone’s pet names.

└For real;; They even say Demroc would lose to Kaiser?

Having used both hot topic cheat keys Kaiser and top 10 guild, comments flooded in instantly.

The view count also skyrocketed instantly, surpassing tens of thousands.

└So what does that even mean?

└What do you mean, it’s obviously trolling lolololol

└Do you believe that.

However, most were negative opinions, but that atmosphere didn’t last long.

-You idiots. Kaiser and a top 10 guild are really fighting.

-No, it’s not a lie, it’s really true!

-Right now the labyrinth is total popcorn material lolololol

-? Why are a top 10 guild and Kaiser suddenly fighting.

-What’s really happening? Don’t just babble about fighting, someone explain the situation.

Because it wasn’t just one person, but an unspecified number of people claiming it was true.

As netizens became more interested and made a fuss, a speed demon appeared who neatly summarized the situation.

-You know the Emperor opened an Empire Quest and it’s chaos right now, right?

└Yeah I know.

└If you do well, it’s a chance to properly build friendship with the Emperor, so it’s chaos right now.

-Right. So conquest points are fucking important right now, and Leonn Guild and Aegis Guild were allied trying the boss, but aggro seemed to slip for a moment. Then Kaiser happened to be passing by and accidentally killed it, landing the last hit. That’s how the fight started, but Kaiser went no-retreat and told them to come at him.

└Crazy…

└His guts are insane lolololol You have to be at this level to be called a god.

└??? : I’m serving as the tank in the party.

└Ah right, he was a tank lololol Ultimate aggro master.

└Aggro skills that even Gandhi couldn’t endure… Is he the god of tanks?

An explosive reaction naturally erupted.

People who became an ocean of laughter couldn’t hide their excitement, and the topic gradually shifted to who would win between the two.

-Honestly, top 10 guilds aren’t top 10 guilds for nothing. Xiao was honestly weak in combat since she’s an assassin, so if she got unlucky and her ambush failed, that’s understandable, but Aegis and Leonn are different stories.

-Yeah, Kaiser will win them all~

-Ugh. Kaiser fanboys shut up.

-Kaiser fanboys? Kashin Church members! Over here! There’s a heretic here!

-If this were 1v1 I wouldn’t know, but this is closer to extermination than a duel, so realistically won’t he definitely lose?

-For real;; Kaiser isn’t actually a god, so how can anyone say he’ll win this.

-He’s not even max level lolol

This news quickly spread beyond the community to various places, and reached the ears of players playing Godseeker.

Among those ears was Damian Alexander as well.

-…This is the situation, Master.

“I see. Good work. Things went well according to plan.”

Damian lifted his head with a bitter smile at his subordinate’s report.

[You have defeated the Calamity awakened from its seal, ‘Himos’.]

[High conquest points are awarded for delivering the final blow.]

[You have obtained Calamity’s Essence.]

As he lowered his massive shield, the miserably slaughtered corpse of the Calamity was revealed.

Though it was a wolf-type monster characterized by powerful attack power and nimble movements, there was almost no fatal damage to the raid party.

“As expected of Master…”

“Other guilds say their tanks get torn apart, but with Master handling aggro, the stability is definitely different.”

“He’s not called the father of tanks for nothing.”

Most of Aegis Guild members were tanks.

It was natural for respect to bloom in the players’ eyes.

As he put away his shield while receiving everyone’s respect, a cautious voice was heard.

-…Um, Master.

“Speak.”

-Wasn’t using a Calamity awakened from its seal a bit excessive? There were many other ways to create justification…

It was a reasonable opinion.

Those monsters called Calamities awakened from seals seemed to contribute greatly to this labyrinth conquest.

Letting him kill it with just a light touch was indeed a big waste.

However.

“I recently learned a saying. There’s a Korean saying like this.”

-…What is it?

“Sacrifice flesh to cut bone. Give flesh to take bone.”

-Ah.

At the surprised voice, Damian slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

It was a cold smile like a snake.

“Calamity? It’s certainly a very important element. Because there are few compared to raid parties. But it’s not unique.”

On the other hand, Kaiser is unique.

That’s why this much loss had to be endured.

With justification like stealing a Calamity, people would accept whatever they did as reasonable.

At the same time, people would come to realize.

“We need to clearly imprint it. What happens when you oppose us. How that hopeful Kaiser ends up.”

-Indeed… You’re amazing.

A bit of concern crept into the voice that was genuinely admiring.

-Um… but doesn’t he have the Armory Owner? If Babylon steps in, wouldn’t it be somewhat difficult for just the vice masters?

“Don’t worry. I’ve already taken care of that side.”

-Arch-enemies… perhaps?

“That’s right.”

Damian looked back with sinister eyes and muttered.

‘It’s time for those guys to settle their superiority too.’

Cheonoechen and Babylon.

As two places that had been long-time arch-enemies, they had clashed many times and quarreled often. But they had never properly settled things even once.

Positioned in top 10 guilds, they had no opportunity to properly fight due to unwritten rules.

And now, that opportunity was given.

‘Go ahead and rampage properly. Xiao.’

* * *

“Damn…”

Ast frowned.

What he saw before him was a woman soaring through the air riding a winged Pegasus.

The woman with brown hair pinned with a hairpin, Xiao, smirked mockingly when their eyes met.

“You don’t seem happy? I’m excited. Finally got a chance to trample that annoying bastard.”

“…Did Demian send you?”

“Hmph, what am I, a dog? To go when sent. Our intentions aligned so we joined forces.”

“I know Demian was the one who made the unwritten rules.”

“Oh my, why are you acting like an amateur? Don’t you know it can be exceptionally ignored if more than half agree?”

…More than half?

Watching Xiao casually shrug her shoulders, Ast’s expression became serious.

‘This seems to be going more systematically than I thought.’

A majority participating meant at least five of the Top 10 Guilds had agreed.

He knew about three, but who would have thought there were two more.

‘Anyway, this bastard has a lot of enemies.’

Seeing those who had never budged before now banding together so tightly because of Kaiser was impressive in a different way.

“And well… we have justification on our side, so what’s there to hesitate about?”

“…Justification?”

When he responded as if asking what nonsense she was spouting, the mockery on Xiao’s face deepened.

“You really don’t know what’s going on… Tsk.”

“…Just answer. Stop beating around the bush.”

“Your precious friend stole a boss that the Aegis and Leonnes Guild alliance was hunting. His trait even malfunctioned and killed several officers, didn’t it? Oh my, even I couldn’t tolerate that… Straighten your expression. You want to kill me, don’t you?”

As Ast’s face turned cold, Xiao frowned.

However, Ast didn’t bother responding to such provocation. This wasn’t a calm enough situation to react to every little thing like that.

‘So that’s how the situation is developing. That’s why she came leading full force like that.’

Glancing upward, he could see about a hundred troops on white horses behind Xiao.

And behind them, forces densely lined up that easily exceeded 500.

Considering that the entry limit for this labyrinth was around 3,000 people, it was safe to say they had scraped together everything they could.

But the same was true for this side.

Step, step, step, step.

Behind Ast, hundreds of guild members revealed themselves.

These were people who had been assigned various tasks and hurriedly returned after receiving contact.

“Your actions seemed so suspicious that I scraped together what I could too.”

“…Always having such good instincts for useless things.”

Though Xiao clicked her tongue, she soon shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, I expected this much. Actually, it’s better. At this level, you won’t make excuses later even if you lose, right?”

“Ha, are you confident?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

Ast looking up from the ground while loosening his shoulders, and Xiao slowly drawing her staff while mounted on Pegasus.

The two who had been growling at each other fell silent as if by agreement.

And immediately after.

Neighhhh-

Swoosh-

[Divine Beast ‘Weapon-Devouring Phantom Beast’ has devoured the +15 Extreme True Emperor Sword.]

[Beginning combination.]

As Pegasus let out a powerful cry, massive jaws opened on both sides of Ast and devoured weapons.

[+15 ‘Sky-Rending Gravity Crusher’ has been completed.]

[Activating unique ability ‘Weapon Upgrade’.]

[Weapon enhancement temporarily increases by +1.]

As he leaped into the air, the weapon spat out from the jaws was grasped in Ast’s hands.

At the same time, as he swung the weapon with full force,

KWAAAAANG-!

Neighhhh-!?

“Aaaaah!”

“M-maintain balance!”

“What kind of ridiculous shockwave is this…!”

The shockwave that exploded with a thunderous roar swept through the white horse legion floating in the air.

A strange trace as if the sky had been torn, just like the weapon’s modifier.

“That ignorant bastard’s damage is just disgustingly high…”

Xiao, who barely escaped that range, frowned.

[Swept up in the Sky-Rending Gravity Crusher’s energy, you will be greatly affected by gravity for a while.]

[The flying white horses have become too heavy to soar into the air.]

“Wh-what is this!?”

“If this happens, positioning ourselves like this actually backfired.”

“X-Xiao, we’re sorry.”

This was that damn bastard’s ability.

An unprecedented cheat-level Divine Beast that could create suitable weapons on the spot to match opponents.

And the unique abilities and financial power to support it.

‘He’s always unpleasant to look at anyway.’

Because of that ability, there were many opinions in the world that Cheonoechen was being pushed back by Babylon.

That always bothered her.

“It’s funny that you think we don’t have such abilities either.”

This side had plenty of countermeasures too.

Snap,

Neighhhh-!

When Xiao lightly snapped her fingers, brilliant light settled on Pegasus’s wings.

[Pegasus spreads its Wings of Purification.]

[Limited to the same species, all debuff effects are temporarily ignored.]

“Huh?”

“It worked! We’re rising again!”

Then the white horses soared upward powerfully as if they had never fallen.

In the end, Ast, who landed without any gain, made a face like he’d eaten shit.

‘This became troublesome… This will turn into a prolonged battle.’

Objectively, this side had the advantage in firepower, but if that annoying aerial battle began, the story would change.

Then the fight would inevitably drag on and attacks would inevitably accumulate.

Then ultimately, this side would be at a disadvantage.

And that’s what Xiao was aiming for.

“You look impatient? Do you have somewhere to go?”

“…”

“I’d like you to focus on me.”

Just tying down Babylon would succeed in catching Kaiser without lifting a finger.

Processing things at the guild member level without the masters having to step in personally was the most ideal scenario.

That would feel more overwhelming too, and they wouldn’t get caught up in unnecessary controversy.

“Don’t say such horrible things. Looking at your face makes me sick.”

“It’s not a face that would lose anywhere though?”

“Stop talking nonsense and just attack alrea…”

“?”

Ast, who couldn’t hide his impatient mood, stopped mid-sentence.

Then he muttered as if whispering to someone, and soon slyly raised the corners of his mouth.

‘What, why is he suddenly laughing and making a fuss? How unpleasant.’

It was already annoying that he was distracted in front of her, and now he’s smiling?

It was when Xiao, who had frowned, was about to say something.

“Right. Let’s finish this today as you want.”

“…What did you eat wrong all of a sudden? Why are your eyes sparkling so disgustingly?”

“I don’t think I need to be constrained by time.”

“Speak so I can understand.”

“Kaiser isn’t my only friend, you see.”

He’s someone I can’t trust in other areas, but in this field, there’s no more reliable expert than him.

Adding those words, Ast gripped his weapon with a much more relaxed expression.

And at that moment.

[Ast: Sending one reliable man.]

[Ast: He’ll arrive soon.]

“…?”

Dohyun’s eyes lit up with interest as he tilted his head at the incomprehensible whisper.

Soon a smile formed on his lips.

‘Well, look at that?’

A green light was flashing next to one of the names on his friends list.
