Part 2, Episode 200.
[The Stage of the Century, The First Official Guild War! Finally Held!]
As the Guild War was held and broadcasters began airing the broadcast in earnest, numerous articles appeared on various platforms.
An overwhelming volume, enough to make two pages disappear every time you refresh.
It was at a level where it seemed like someone was running a macro to spam, but people did not show any displeasure.
Did you show up? Did you show up!?
-mccccccccccccc
-at las!
-Here it is! My porn!
-Kya, here it is~!!!
Because the atmosphere among them right now was a festival in itself.
I ordered chicken an hour ago but it still hasn’t arrived. Right now, every chicken place in the neighborhood is delaying deliveries by two hours because they say they are short on drivers. Is this right?
Is this something that just needs to be wrapped?
I currently work part-time at a chicken restaurant, and it’s hell;; Even for takeout, I have to wait over an hour.
Heh, I knew this would happen, so I ordered chicken in the middle of the night. Now, if I heat it up in the air fryer, it’ll be crispy just like freshly made chicken—perfect.
Wow;; Are you a genius?
It really is insanely popular. The broadcast just started, and the crowd is crazy. It looks like there are hundreds of thousands. If this were real life, an accident would have happened a long time ago.
It’s being held outdoors, but it looks really neat. It kind of reminds me of the Colosseum. Why are the seats installed so nicely?
I heard elves and spirits helped with the White Tower Master’s barrier? It’s a fantasy world, after all~
No wonder all live performances fail lol. It’s safer, more comfortable, and has more to see if you do it at God of Savior, so why even bother with real-life performances?
-Seriously lol. I go to fan signing events just because it’s nice to see them in person. As for concerts, you usually watch from afar anyway, and it’s been a long time since God of Savior held one.
It is so popular that even though the neighborhood shops hire five part-timers and prepare five times the usual amount of food, they are still overwhelmed.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Olympics were held.
No, in terms of impact alone, it was even greater than that.
After all, God of Saga, being fantasy itself, had more to offer than the Olympics, which showcase extremes within the bounds of human limitations.
Moreover, what was held this time was none other than the first official guild battle in the history of God of Savior.
Let’s go for the annihilation~~
Haven’t you seen Arthur’s Holy Sword? Even the Paladin NPCs speak honorifics to Arthur now.
Those are just nobodies. Do you think paladins like Leved would show respect to Arthur?
Does that guy above not know the significance of the Holy Sword? In terms of the Empire, it is equivalent to becoming the legitimate heir to the throne, so just holding the Holy Sword is enough to elevate one’s social status.
Then that’s just relying on status. That doesn’t mean you’re strong, does it?
Given the Holy Sword’s value is that high, of course it would be strong if it became its owner, you bastard.
-Are you finally getting to see the Heavenly Demon fight? Haa, I was going crazy missing the Heavenly Demon.
But isn’t the Kasin Cult’s power too overwhelming? They have fanatics, the Kaiser, and even Haring-eup-eup.
– Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Are you VolXmot?
– If that happens, what happens to the Ernest Guild? Harrington is the Guild Master, so does that mean Haring-eup-eup will be participating as a member of Ernest?
-No, if you’re going to say it like that, isn’t there no need to use the expression ‘uh-uh’? It’s too transparent.
Get out of the way. My old geezer is going to devour you all. I have a feeling. Something big is coming.
-??? : The sandbag talks a lot.
It was a stage to determine the true strongest guild, putting an end to the delusional debates about who was the strongest.
So how could I possibly not expect it?
Of course, the 1.3 billion people playing God of Savior.
With billions of people simply watching God of Savior, it has become a stage that truly captures the attention of the entire world.
Ugh… I’m seriously jealous of the guys watching live. I’m so jealous I feel like I’m going to die. Seriously, I’m jealous. So jealous I want to kill them all.
-Uh oh, this bastard is turning evil.
Isn’t a real murder going to happen?
Yeah, but it’s virtual reality, so you respawn lol
No way, the system is blocking it anyway, so if the number of people exceeds the limit, you can’t even get in lol
But I am jealous… It is practically a war of the stars, and you get to witness it firsthand. How awesome must that be?
I actually saw the Lacsian merchants selling food over there. The fun of watching a baseball game is gathering with people to eat, so imagine how much fun this must be.
Wow… I should have just stayed up all night. With an hour left, I just intended to close my eyes for about 10 minutes, but to think I’m only awake now…
Naturally, those who got to witness that performance firsthand were brave souls who had overcome competition rates so fierce that getting tickets for a top-tier singer’s concert was practically impossible.
Such brave souls were showered with intensely envious glances.
And the scene that received all that envy and jealousy is now… … .
“Waaaaaaah!! Waaah!!!”
“Waaaaaaah!!! I love you, Cheonma Noona!!”
“Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!”
“The! Strong! Demon! Spear! Master!”
“Mikazuki! Show me the spirit of the samurai!!”
“Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch!!!”
“Siana! Siana! Siana!”
“Siana? Sina is the best! What do you mean Siana!”
“What, you bastard!? Do you want to go after me!? You come to the first floor, you bastard.”
“Yeah, you come here, you idiot! Do you think you can even make it? Ah, if you want to get kicked out, go ahead and come!”
In the audience seats, which were filled with cheers bordering on madness, they were waving cheer sticks, screaming at the top of their lungs, and enjoying themselves with all their might.
I’ll get the broadcast on standby!
“If you block the view, you’ll get cursed at like crazy, so grab a good spot!”
“Not too far away! Somewhere to the right of center over there… Uh, uh, those, those KSC bastards are moving! Run fast before they take your spot!”
The broadcast staff and reporters were engaged in fierce, unseen competition,
“Haha, I heard it’s hard to get VIP seats here, but thanks to you, I’ll have a great time.”
“It’s only natural to invite the Chairman. Haha.”
“Isn’t this stage something that is hard to obtain even with money? You must have put in a lot of hard work.”
“Haha, I am simply grateful that you notice. Ahem, in that sense, I hope you will take a look at our draft.……”
“Oh my, why are there so many people? Even performances by people called top stars weren’t this crowded.”
“Oh my, of course. That’s just one group at most, but this Guild War is bringing together all the top stars of God of Savior, you know?”
“Gasp! Look over there. It’s actress Son Ga-yoon!”
“Wow, Kim Dong-won is here too?”
“You look exactly like the real thing? Wow… Are you really the same person? God of Savior really is set in a fantasy world. Your face is just pure fantasy.”
From chaebols to celebrities.
Each person in the VIP section was a celebrity who would generate all sorts of buzz, and they showed themselves genuinely enjoying the stage while chatting amicably with proud expressions.
The main actors haven’t even participated yet, actually.
Was the sight so fascinating?
“Wow, this is crazy. Are all these people here just to look at us?”
“Do you think it’s us, you idiot? They’re only calling out the names of kids who used to be in teenage guilds or NPCs.”
“They probably wouldn’t even know we exist. Just the number of participants in the guild war alone was in the six digits.”
Can’t you even get into the mood, you bastards? How dare you cowardly drop the facts.
The faces of the participants, watching from a distance in the waiting area, were flushed with excitement.
Even those who delivered the fact-bombing couldn’t hide their excitement.
That is understandable, considering that even in God of Savior, which is enjoyed by over a billion people, this was the first time content receiving this level of attention had been released.
The audience alone is going wild like that, so to think I would actually get to step onto that stage myself.
That alone already left me feeling numb.
The feeling of being so high it’s beyond just high, with adrenaline running wild.
Murmuring
—-!!
The stage, which had become a cauldron of excitement due to everyone’s own circumstances, was becoming increasingly boisterous.
Just as the security guards were becoming restless, thinking that the situation would go uncontrollably at this rate.
Thump.
Someone walked out of the waiting room behind the stage.
A calm atmosphere, unlike the atmosphere filled with excitement.
An impression that is not just calm, but cold.
“uh?”
“omg!”
It is Lephias!
It was Lephias, the strongest ice mage and the Blue Magic Tower Master’s top disciple.
“Siana is here too!”
“But there are other apprentices too? Wow! It’s Gaon! This is crazy!”
“Gaon? That Saital Gridna’s top disciple?”
“I heard Gaon is the strongest NPC user right now? Wow, isn’t this the first time he’s appeared in an official place like this?”
“So we’re going to witness Gaon’s first official debut live? That’s insane.”
“Waaahhhh!!!”
As numerous NPC members, led by him, left the waiting room and headed toward the stage, a thunderous cheer erupted.
All attention was captivated by the appearance of the characters who could be called the main characters of this stage.
And starting with them, other lead actors of this stage appeared one after another.
“It’s a thousand!!!”
“Cheon Jia! Cheon Jia! Cheon Jia!”
“Wow, the Heavenly Horse is so pretty.”
“Wow, she is pretty, but… her aura is just spine-chilling. I’m confident I’d wet my pants if I ran into her at night.”
The Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Demon Cult.
“Hey old man!!! I’m rooting for you!!”
“Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!”
“Why are you calling me an old man! Where is the owner of the armory? Why do you keep calling me an old man!?”
“Waaah! I’m pissed off!!”
“Hahahaha!”
“Are you two dating? Why are you always together!”
“……I cannot tolerate such words. Which kid dared to utter such nonsense?”
“I’m the one who should be upset, why are you the one feeling bad?”
“Hmm?”
“? What’s with that look?”
If a sandbag dares to get involved with its master, it should be considered an honor for the family; does it make sense to be offended?
You haven’t been hit yet, have you?
“Why are you asking me that? That’s your area of expertise.”
“Wow, I really want to beat you up. Can’t you just leave right now?”
Ast, walking alongside Cheonma and bickering as usual today.
“Shinada!”
The Assassin’s Hope!
“It’s Arthur! Wow, look at the people who came with Arthur. Aren’t they all Paladins?”
“Huh? It’s not just users? Aren’t those all Paladin NPCs?”
“You said you were the owner of the Holy Sword, but have you completely become our ally?”
“Huh. At that rate, they aren’t just a guild force.”
From Sina of Bloodslaying to Arthur of The King.
Cheers echoed ceaselessly at the new appearances of the big names as they appeared one after another.
It feels like dopamine is surging just by watching.
Then, at that time.
Waaaaaaah!!!!!!
A roar of a completely different dimension from before pierced through the eardrums.
Enough to startle the audience, who were already accustomed to the noise, and those briefly attending to other tasks, to look down in surprise.
Then it appeared.
A man walking out nobly amidst countless cheers.
Brilliant blonde hair and ruby-red eyes.
Five swords strapped to the waist and back, and black clothes with gold borders and patterns that look like a uniform at first glance.
“……Extermination.”
A man who was undeniably close to being the strongest was walking towards us.
Noblely, like a wolf walking across a snowfield.
However, surprisingly, there were not many people calling out his name.
To be precise, the shouting was gradually subsiding.
Thump. Thump.
As soon as Myeolsal appeared, a man was walking toward him from the opposite side.
And the man was a face everyone knew.
Pitch-black hair and dark brown eyes.
A martial arts uniform pitch black like hair, but with edges worn as if scorched by lightning. A monotonous staff tied at the waist.
-Lizariza!
-Kiruk.
-hmm!
Even the Guardians, who have now become his mascots.
For a moment, silence fell over the hall.
As if only two people were free in a place where time had stopped.
Sseu.
As they slowly drew closer, they eventually stopped and faced each other.
At that moment.
——-!!!!
A thunderous roar erupted.
It was a shout poured out without reservation, as if the silence maintained until now had been a springboard for this.
Even amidst a hallucination so severe it was deafening, the gazes of the two remained fixed on each other without the slightest change.
One second, two seconds.
The two people, who had been silently staring into each other’s eyes, let out a smirk at the same time, as if they had made a pact.
It was Myeolsal who spoke first.
You’ve changed beyond recognition.
“…….”
“What kind of magic did you perform, Kaiser?”
At that, Dohyeon smirked, raising one corner of his mouth.
