Chapter 301

Episode 301.

Demroc.

The undisputed greatest star of Godseeker and the strongest man.

A monster so formidable that rumors say the top 10 guilds were created just to keep him in check.

When he declared war against the Aegis Alliance, everyone had expectations.

“What kind of performance will he show?”

“Obviously the Execution Guild will win, right?”

“Even a rotten fish is still a fish, and there are three top 10 guilds, so it might be tough… but with the major guilds there, they’ll win for sure.”

“They’re not just any major guilds either, they’re guilds ranked 11th to 20th.”

The outcome wasn’t really in question.

After all, the Execution Guild winning was practically a foregone conclusion.

That’s why what people were anticipating wasn’t the victory or defeat, but the battle itself that Demroc would show.

What kind of performance would the protagonist of such abundant rumors actually display?

How big would the gap be between him and other top 10 guild masters?

-This is insane…

-Wait, is this for real?

But I can say with certainty that no one expected this level of gap.

└Is it true that Demroc alone wiped out the entire alliance?

└No, this is way too different in class;;

└Top 10 guilds? What’s that? At this level, it’s just the Execution Guild and some kids.

Of course, it wasn’t really Demroc alone facing all the guild members.

Demian, sensing that they would surely lose once the major guilds were prepared, had made his move.

└It wasn’t a 1 vs 100 recording, but it seems they formed a strike team with Demian, Xiao, and Leon leading a few selected officers.

The only way for the decimated Aegis-Leonore-Cheonoechen alliance to win.

The judgment was that they could only ambush the leader, Demroc, and this could be called the best strategy.

└Ah, so that’s why they fought in the New Continent.

└Wtf so they ambushed Demroc while he was hunting like cowards?

└Whoa lmaooo was Damian always this ugly? This makes dating sim gays look good in comparison

└ Acting all tough and manly, then wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ and he still loses even after all that.

└What the hell did he do to lose? There were only Demroc and his secretary there.

The only problem was that Demroc’s power was beyond imagination.

And people’s curiosity only grew stronger.

Even though it was cowardly and ugly, it was a strategy that should have guaranteed victory, so how exactly did he fight to lose like that?

Fortunately, that curiosity could be satisfied soon.

└Hey hey, this is crazy, a video just went up.

└Going to watch it right now.

A single video had been uploaded to the Execution Guild’s official YouTube channel.

A short 10-minute video titled ‘War’s End.’

Naturally, it was footage of this battle, and with all the attention focused on it now, an explosive reaction erupted.

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I watched the video that got uploaded and Xiao couldn’t even join in. Just sitting in the back going “oh my, oh my” while watching Damian and Leon get absolutely destroyed in a 2v1.

└Wow, but the secretary is strong too. She’s cutting down the officers all by herself.

└Demroc is legendary. It’s 2 vs 1 but he just dominates them? Looking at the combination, isn’t Leon and Demian’s combo almost the strongest in PVP?

└It is a textbook combination. Demian is unrivaled among tanks too.

└That’s the strongest tank…? For that, he’s just getting beaten up all day?

└Demroc is just ridiculously strong.

└No, even if Xiao had joined in, they would have gotten destroyed? The two of them can’t even compete.

└That’s why I’m smartly staying back and just watching lol

A truly overwhelming battle.

No, it was so one-sided that you had to wonder if this could even be called a battle.

Every time Demroc swung his sword, Demian’s shield, who was supposed to be the strongest tank, got torn apart, and Leon, who was supposed to be top-tier as a dealer, was overwhelmingly crushed.

The rare phenomenon where it was clearly 2 vs 1, but those two looked desperate instead of Demroc. It was even thrilling, perhaps because of the flashy editing.

└Hey, what’s chilling is that Demroc is only using one sword.

└Huh? Now that I think about it, that’s really true?

└Holy shit lol how carefree can you be.

What was even more surprising was that Demroc was only wielding one greatsword out of his six swords.

Considering his unique ability, it meant he hadn’t even brought out half his power.

└Even with this, is Kaiser stronger than Demroc? Even with this, is Kaiser a god?

└Kaiser > top 10 guilds might be right, but Demroc is definitely the G.O.A.T.

└If he fights Demroc, Kaiser will immediately get a heat stroke ending, I bet my left ball on it.

└ For real lololol

└Maybe early Demroc, but current Demroc really has no rivals. They said he got stronger after pioneering the New Continent and he really became a master.

└Wow, but I am curious. If Kaiser had started from the beginning, what would their dynamic have been?

└There must have been an epic showdown lol but I think if it were Myeolsal vs Myeolsal right now, Myeolsal would have won?

└I really can’t imagine Demroc losing~

└Demroc! Demroc! Demroc! Demroc! Demroc!

It was the moment when Demroc once again reminded everyone of his position.

* * *

And so, after the noisy days following these consecutive bombshell news,

Time flew by like an arrow and about a week had passed.

[Using Hero skill ‘Acceleration’.]

[Attack speed and movement speed increase for 40 seconds.]

Kraaagh! Kweaek!

Kuuung!

In a field, a man wearing a black mask and black training clothes was frantically swinging his sword.

Behind him, a middle-aged knight and a dwarf in a robe who were watching spoke with troubled expressions.

-Ma, Master. Take it easy.

-Hmm… Full power again today.

-Rizariza.

It was Charlie and Jihad.

Dohyun, who had been tormented to his limit and whose stress had reached its peak, was taking out his frustration on innocent(?) monsters under the pretense of testing skills.

“Phew.”

How long had he been conducting this untimely massacre?

Dohyun, having swept away all the monsters in the vicinity, had a refreshed expression.

How exhausting it had been to be surrounded by people and tormented by fanatics all this time.

Nothing beats hunting when you need to clear your mind like this.

‘Acceleration is more useful than I thought.’

Especially the explosive speed when used together with Thunder Dragon Descent gave him a strange sense of liberation.

He could understand why the Sword Master was obsessed with speed.

Thanks to that, his stress was relieved even better.

‘At least it’s fortunate they don’t follow me to the fields.’

Perhaps because the fanatics were former Kaiser guardian angels from the Demroc era.

They had a philosophy of only clearing paths in the city or executing heretics from behind, but keeping their hands off in the fields.

Thanks to that, ironically, the field had become the only space where he could breathe.

As a result of rampaging for a week like this, he was able to achieve explosive growth.

[Player: Kaiser]

[Level: 95]

[HP: 13,650 / 14,910]

[MP: 6,960 / 9,030]

[Stamina: 1,930 / 2,750]

[Class : Last Adventurer 【Successor of Kashiyar】]

[Titles (24)]

-Max favorability from the start?

-First Slayer

…(Expand)

[Stats]

【Strength : 220(+272)】 【Agility : 220(+262)】

【Stamina : 5(+296)】 【Sense : 75(+255)】

【Mana : 150(+241)】

Remaining Points : 10

MP now approaching 10,000 and HP nearing 15,000.

He already had 24 titles.

He could definitely feel the growth as much as his stats had improved.

‘Level 95… The leveling speed has definitely slowed down.’

The disappointing thing was that experience points weren’t rising well.

It was true what they said about it taking several months to go from level 90 to 100.

At this rate, even Dohyun would need more than a month.

Calculating from level 90, it would take almost two months.

[Jihad LV47]

[Charlie LV48]

‘These guys might hit level 70 first.’

Thanks to the Proof of Unity, only those guys were thriving.

One peculiarity was that Charlie had now surpassed Jihad’s level.

-I’m… I’m the senior…

-Rizariza.

It wasn’t even a secret that Eliza had comforted the dejected, almost despairing Jihad for 30 minutes.

Dohyun was also secretly envious, but it was a good thing.

Their growth was no different from his own power increase.

Especially in situations like now.

‘I heard Demroc went to war with Demian’s guys.’

The video was too short to call it a battle, showing only overwhelming slaughter, so he couldn’t properly see their skills, but one thing was certain.

The title of the strongest man in current Godseeker was not lacking at all.

Moreover, that wasn’t even his full power.

‘Come to think of it, I never heard of Demroc losing to anyone in Demroc either.’

Maybe in boss raids.

But in PvP, he officially held an undefeated record.

Since he had become even stronger than back then, he would indeed have no rivals.

-That man’s sword is dangerous. It’s a sword that completely breaks away from convention.

This was what the Sword Master had said one day when receiving instruction on the Flexible Steel Technique from him in Demroc.

‘It was the first time he called another player’s sword dangerous.’

It was also the first and last time.

Since he was at the top when it came to swords, except for the strongest swordsman NPCs like the Sword Emperor or Sword Master, he had never used the expression “dangerous.”

Now that he had developed a taste for swordsmanship, he felt he understood the meaning a little.

‘Demroc has no sword techniques.’

Literally no form.

If the Sword Master wielded peak swordsmanship like art, Demroc felt like he just used the sword as a tool.

A tool to effectively slaughter enemies.

‘I heard he handles six swords.’

But that tool was incredibly diverse and extremely sharp.

While everyone was making a fuss comparing themselves to him, Dohyun was honestly curious too.

He had never fought against such a type before.

‘Still have a long way to go though.’

Of course, it was impossible now, and rapid growth was the only answer.

In that sense…

[Golden Ticket]

[Grade : Legend]

[Description : A ticket that allows entry to the Imperial Gold Treasury of the Great Arnis Empire.

You can enter that place filled with various rare equipment, consumables, and materials only once and take one item of your choice.]

-The Golden Ticket will be torn upon entry.

He desperately wanted to use this right away.

A ticket to enter the Imperial Gold Treasury!

He had gotten amazing things from the Forgotten King’s relic storage, so what would be in the Imperial treasury?

Just imagining it was already exciting.

But Dohyun suppressed his desire to enter.

‘It would be a waste to use it now.’

The Golden Ticket was a one-time item.

There was no reason to enter when his items were well-equipped enough that he didn’t need anything immediately.

It would be wise to use it later when something was lacking or in a critical situation where he absolutely needed to raise his specs.

The Crystal of Destruction was also sitting quietly in his inventory for the same reason.

‘The main quest is also stopped right now… For now, leveling up is the best option.’

So when Dohyun was about to grab Heavenly Transformation again to relieve stress… no, to hunt.

Waaaaaaah!!

A thunderous cheer could be heard from far away.

It was from the direction of the city.

Even though it wasn’t very close, if it could be heard echoing from such a distance, an tremendous cheer must have erupted.

‘What’s happening this time?’

Did Demroc show up?

There hadn’t been anything like this in the past week, so he was puzzled for a moment.

Eventually, unable to contain his curiosity, Dohyun entered the city and quickly found out the reason.

“…Make way!”

“Everyone clear the path!”

A young man walking confidently at the front, escorted by numerous knights.

Sharp features that the blood on his face suited all too well.

A lean yet solid body that gave off the feeling of a warrior, with an atmosphere that was somehow chilling.

“Wow, crazy… That person is that person, right? To think the day would come when I’d see him in person.”

“How many months did it take this time?”

At this moment, Dohyun observed them with the same feelings as the other players.

A bitter smile formed on Dohyun’s lips.

[Rior de Arnis]

The name that appeared above the man.

It was the name of the tyrant 1st Prince.

‘Finally.’

The 1st Prince had completed his subjugation mission and entered the city.
