Part 2, Episode 207.
Even as I was burning with competitive spirit, time still passed.
[‘Swordsman’ Guild Eliminated]
[‘Hwarang’ Guild Eliminated]
[The 5th match has ended. The winning guild is ‘Gremore’.]
… …
[The 12th match has ended. The winning guild is ‘Lead’.]
… … .
The guild battle also proceeded quickly.
We have passed the 5th and 12th matches, and now the 16th match is in progress.
Actually, watching the same type of match repeated 16 times might have been boring, but…
Oh, this lineup is more formidable than I thought.
– All the guilds participating in the match are top 100 guilds lol
They aren’t even just the top 100 guilds. They are all guilds referred to as near-top 10 guilds.
-Huh? What? It’s real? *shivers*
So, the guild that wins here is essentially a genuine quasi-Top 10 guild. It feels like the only guild capable of challenging the Top 10.
Wow, damn; I’m suddenly really looking forward to this.
– Seriously, dopamine rush lol
-Wait, today is so much fun! Why did you only release the Guild War now? It’s totally awesome!
I’m seriously so jealous of the guys watching… If only I hadn’t lay down to sleep for just 5 minutes…
Ah, so you’re the guy who got archived on the Hot Topics? I missed this because I was asleep lol
-Fuck… … .
Ha, look at the atmosphere here. It feels like watching a concert.
A concert? How can you even compare that? Lol, it’s on a completely different level.
-LOL
No one, including the audience and viewers, showed such a reaction.
Rather, it is a situation where dopamine is bursting out of control.
This was because there were as many as four guilds participating in a single match, and at least one or two of them were guilds that could be called big shots.
Among them was a match dealing with the rankings between the top 10 guilds, which had been the subject of much commotion…
The atmosphere is bound to heat up.
Even Dohyun, who is watching from the waiting room, feels that way.
I even thought that I wanted to watch the game from the stands and feel the atmosphere of the venue.
Of course, it would be difficult since all eyes would be on me if I went up there.
but.
[The 17th match is about to begin. All participants, please come up on stage.]
Is it finally.
No other match will compare to this one.
Because it is a big match involving 10 guilds that hasn’t appeared since the Extermination.
[All participants of the Heavenly Demon Cult have been confirmed.]
Waaahhhh!!
“It’s a thousand!”
“Wow, f***.”
“Noona, take me!”
“Wow, that girl has an insane aura. Total girl crush.”
Master of the Heavenly Demon Cult.
The only woman who does not fall short in the slightest when compared to the fame of the Empress and the Sword Saint.
The object of envy for all martial artists who trained countless martial artists in God of Worlds.
The female player with the most female fans, overwhelmingly ranked #1.
It’s been a while.
Hana is the woman most familiar to Dohyeon by the nicknames PiXChu and Brain Emperor.
Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Jia.
Because she was making an official appearance for the first time in a long while.
“Look at the followers they’re holding up behind the scenes. I’m telling you, it’s practically a shadowy Kasin cult.”
“The shadows… though calling it that seems like the Kasin religion takes it a step further.”
They’re doing that bullshit in the open.
“ah.”
Above all, she possessed an image that could be called the original Kasin cult(?), so her mere presence was enough to grab attention.
If there is a difference from the Kasin religion… unlike Dohyeon, who just walks along pretending to be calm.
Swoosh-
She stands tall like a noble crane, looking down at the world as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
An incredibly arrogant gaze and attitude.
That attitude was exactly why she was popular,
Waaahh
The shouts telling them to leave were the proof.
Judging by the size of the cheer alone, it was even louder than when he or Myeolsal took the stage.
Well, I suppose that makes sense.
Unlike Myeolsal or myself, who have been active frequently recently, she hasn’t officially appeared for a while.
There are only rumors about whether it has gotten stronger or whatever, but since they haven’t shown it, one can’t help but be curious.
Of course, if that were all, it wouldn’t have received this level of cheering.
Did you make it big? Did you make it big?
“Waaaaaaah!!!”
“Wow! My dopamine is exploding.”
She was not the only target of the cheers.
[All participants of the Babylon Guild have been confirmed.]
“Wow, how long has it been since it got attached?”
-But those two fight every time they meet, Master?
-Lizarija.
There’s a difference between bickering and having a proper fight.
It looks like it will be a good match.
Because her opponent was none other than the middle-aged man she had been watching the game with just moments ago.
Wow, my dopamine is really exploding today.
I can’t stand it anymore. I’m going out to buy more beer.
Heavenly Demon VS Master of the Armory? I can’t stand this.
Those two were always bickering, but they really set up a proper match for them lol
So, if the two of you fight, who wins?
-Wouldn’t Cheonma win? He is practically in the top tier of the user base, after all. Compared to that, Ast… …is there anything special about him?
-cash.
-Xb… … . You’re right. I’m so jealous.
– Former Lord of Lineage Castle. The God of Clicking, and do not underestimate the hope of all middle-aged men.
-Click : Galaxy Impact.
└Hahahahahahaha
– Is there a middle-aged man who can blow up a city with a single click?
This is a hit.
The relationship between the two, who fought just by making eye contact, was so famous that the viewers’ reaction was just as enthusiastic as the audience’s.
The middle-aged man who appeared amidst such immense attention was a little different from when he was in the waiting room.
It looks like everything has changed, from armor to accessories and weapons.
They said they had raided the armory, but I never imagined everything would change to that extent.
A brilliant platinum special armor covering the entire arm from shoulder to fingertips, over brown leather armor similar in color to the hair.
Bottoms that appear to be made of the same material.
Did it capture both lightness and hardness?
The weapon was a mace the length of a utility pole that had been uprooted, and the mace part was shaped like a giant sea urchin, making it extremely hideous.
I’d say it’s menacing enough to be in the top 3 of the old man’s weapons I’ve seen since the Demlok days.
-… … If you use that to blow things up, won’t the stage disappear, Master?
-Rizari. Riza… … .
Hmm. You seem to have become more aggressive than before.
“…….”
It is no wonder that no one would deny Jihad’s exaggerated claims.
And what caught my eye the most was that I was seeing all of that equipment for the first time.
Not only were they never seen in person, but they were also weapons that had never been officially shown even once during countless activities.
So, does that mean the guy I’ve seen all this time wasn’t his full power?
A middle-aged man showing off his full power with a knockout punch…
Jihad’s exaggerated worry that the stage might disappear doesn’t feel like an exaggeration at all.
And it seemed that the middle-aged man wasn’t the only one who had changed.
“What? You’ve gotten even more gloomy since I last saw you? You’re pitch black from head to toe. Why are your eyes so dark red? Are you cosplaying as an Oni or something?”
This time, even the conversation between the two was being transmitted clearly on the screen, and just as Ast had said, their entire bodies were stained black.
Long straight hair reaching to the waist, and even the martial arts uniform shimmering like smoke covering the entire body.
They were all pitch black, yet their skin was as white as a white person’s, and their eyes glowed dark red, making them look chilling.
It’s like seeing a beautiful yet terrifying vampire from various fantasy works.
“You should have worn the uniform I saw earlier. What kind of clothes look like they’re covered in exhaust fumes?”
It feels like I’m forcibly holding onto a gas that is about to scatter at any moment.
However, one side of the shoulder line was exposed in an off-shoulder style, making the deep collarbone and pure white nape of the neck stand out even more.
It is more impressive because it feels like it is covered in smoke rather than neatly arranged clothes.
When Ast frowns at the somewhat unconventional outfit.
*chuckles*
Cheonma, who had been listening the whole time, curled the corners of his mouth into a smirk.
“You’ve gotten slimmer. Not being sturdy goes against the virtues of a sandbag.”
Waaahhhhh!!!
Cheers erupted from the stands at the intense provocation spewed out from the very first words.
Ast glanced around at the crowd and let out a hollow laugh.
I don’t know if I should call this consistent or good showmanship.
“Do you want to get beaten to death by a sandbag?”
“Hmm, I wish you wouldn’t obsess too much over the impossible. You know, yearning for what you can’t have is bound to wear you out. You’re my precious punching bag, aren’t you?”
“Would you like to be hit preciously?”
I will be cheering for you.
“Wow, this is really taking. I’m going to get a beating today.”
“Go for it.”
Ah, blood pressure.
A simple cheer, casually spat out, breaking even the distinctive way of speaking that makes you wonder if it’s a concept.
At that, Ast clutches the back of his neck.
Laughter erupted from the audience at the bickering between the two, living up to expectations once again.
“…Are we just extras? We aren’t even shown on screen at all.”
You have to see it that way.
“Let’s not needlessly get caught between those two and end up getting crushed like we were during the Apocalypse. Let’s just quietly fight amongst ourselves. You never know, maybe they’ll show us once in a while.”
“……okay.”
Is it because it is now the 17th in Gyeonggi-do?
The participants from other guilds, who had become incredibly perceptive, neatly put aside their petty pride and discreetly stepped aside.
It was a secret that I was standing in a position where I was as far away as possible, barely visible on the screen.
Just as the atmosphere had been heated up.

[1]
[The match begins.]
The now familiar count passed, and the game began.
Boom!
“Uh oh?”
“Waaahhhh!!”
The two people, who had been facing each other and taking their stances, shot towards each other at the same time as if by prior agreement.
The moment I inhaled, watching the two figures fly away like cannonballs.
Kwaaaaaaaang!!!
The two people clashed.
At that moment, a tremendous roar echoed as if a war had broken out, and a circular shockwave swept across the entire stage.
“!!”
“crazy!?”
Soon after, a shocking scene unfolded.
