Part 2, Episode 216.
First official guild battle.
Content that finally emerged only after well over two years had passed since the release of God of Savior and it was heading toward its third year.
There was an outpouring of praise among netizens, calling it a “Gamdasal patch.”
The impact was so immense that it took up morning news slots worldwide, and various communities, including YouTube and internet articles, were plastered with talk of the Guild War for a considerable period.
The war of the stars began.
-To be honest, it makes no sense. A guild war after three years? It is utterly absurd when you consider that other RPG games are usually released within three months, or at the latest, a year.
And that is precisely why I look forward to it even more. After three years at the top, isn’t this the first time they are establishing a hierarchy?
Remarks by famous overseas analysis experts or celebrities fueled the final spark, and
It caused a sensation as on-site tickets sold out in less than 10 seconds.
However, even amidst those countless expectations, if asked what they were looking forward to the most, eight out of ten gave the same answer.
“—Myeolsal. I’m so curious to hear that he has never unleashed his full power. He is still regarded as the undisputed strongest, so to say that wasn’t his full strength… just how strong is he, exactly?”
I am Kaiser.
– Annihilation VS Kaiser. No dissenting opinions accepted.
Of course it’s Annihilation and Kaiser, right? Annihilation is the strongest, and Kaiser is a god.
No, is it even possible to notice someone else?
And now, at this point, not eight out of ten, but nine… … .
No, ten out of ten will give the same answer.
The finals begin!!
– The Annihilation Kaiser faces off. This is insane, this is insane!
Everyone, hurry up and start the broadcast.
Ah, I definitely should have gotten a ticket on the spot, ah.
-Ha, seriously, I’m so jealous of the people watching from the scene. Incredibly jealous. Envious enough to want to kill them.
They, who missed each other without meeting like a twist of fate.
Because they delivered overwhelming performances in their respective roles and eventually faced each other in the final act.
Who is the strongest in God of Worlds?
The stage has opened to put an end to a topic that has long been the subject of controversy.
Waaahhhhh-!!!
“Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser!”
“Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!”
Show us an exciting match!!
“Oh God, I believe!”
The Execution Guild is the strongest guild, and Annihilation is the strongest!!!
“God? Want a taste of execution?”
“How dare you mess with a god!”
Is that why?
The atmosphere at the scene was truly overwhelming.
Even Rome’s Colosseum, once famous as an arena, would find it difficult to recreate the current fervor.
If anyone stands here, they will be engulfed in the heat and scream as if their throat were to tear.
—–!!!
The people in the seats on either side are standing up abruptly.
The spectators shouting in unison at the person they are cheering for, waving something resembling a cheering stick that they must have obtained from who knows where.
Furthermore, the burning desire that spread throughout the air was an irresistibly exciting thing.
All of that was also conveyed to Dohyeon at the stadium.
-Keruk, keruk. Kehehe.
-Rizari! Rizari!
… … You look really bad.
“Hehe, I like it so much, what should I do? You look proud, Charlie, though. Your lips are twitching. *Cough*.”
-Liza! Lizariza!
… … Actually, it seems like the guys are more excited than Dohyeon.
I begged and pleaded so much to be allowed to participate that I am just waiting at the end of the stadium and watching.
I don’t know why they’re acting like that when they’re not even fighting…
Considering the heat, it makes sense.
Because even Dohyun himself felt a tingling sensation in his chest and his body heating up.
In that respect, that guy is really something.
“…….”
Even in the midst of this, Myeolsal, that guy was staring intently at me with a poker face.
Well, Dohyeon wasn’t exactly in a position to speak ill of others.
From the moment I stepped out of the waiting room hallway and entered the stadium until now.
Because I had never avoided the gaze of Annihilation.
And I don’t know why, but…
“profit……!!”
A man looked at them as if he were going to die of anger.
He was glaring alternately with eyes filled with a sense of injustice and murderous intent.
A middle-aged man wearing a martial arts uniform and holding a sword that looks as if it holds the moonlight.
It was Yamamoto Gendo, the owner of the Moon Shadow Sword.
I can’t forgive. Never.
Yamamoto was extremely furious right now.
How much preparation did we do for this guild battle?
I swung the Moon Shadow Sword day and night to master it perfectly, and after using up all my login time, I investigated, pondered, and researched even a little more.
As a result, he became able to wield the Moon Shadow Sword, which had been transformed back into its original, complete form.
It is different from last time. I mean, I have achieved incomparable growth.
When the New World Quest appeared.
How deplorable it was that I was eliminated beforehand and had to just sit around doing nothing.
It still holds deep resentment that I could only watch helplessly as they defeated Batan, whom I had been unable to beat, and even captured Rag Behemoth.
But what is most frustrating is.
With that one blow, Mikazuki’s status plummeted to the depths of the abyss.
A guild that has newly become one of the top 10, yet is by no means inferior even when compared to the original top 10 guilds.
Japan’s pride.
An authentic guild carrying on the spirit of the samurai.
A guild with a bright future that has just begun and has not yet reached its limits.
All that reputation crumbled.
With just, with just one move… …!
And that is not all.
Yamamoto, even his reputation plummeted.
Master of the hunt. A Slayer known as the strongest in raids.
The owner of the Moon Shadow Sword, one of the ten legendary swords.
The reputation of being a man who would never be outmatched by anyone vanished without a trace.
All that remains is the assessment that he is a half-king.
Crunch.
Who are you calling half-baked?
He did not lose.
No, from now on, I will never lose.
Thus, we will eventually record a great history.
He had the power to do so in his current state.
“Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser!”
“Waaahhhh!!”
“I don’t need the others, so get lost!! You’re getting in the way!!”
“That’s right!”
“Puhahaha!”
You completely ignore yourself like that?
I am seething with anger at the foolish behavior of the audience, who treat me not just as a bystander but as an obstacle.
But the thing that makes me angrier than anything is.
‘Look at me. I say, beware of me!’
Those two people, gritting their teeth and ignoring me, who is clearly displaying hostility as if looking at a sworn enemy.
“……We finally meet.”
“okay.”
It was a boring time. It was hard to wait.
“What a coincidence. I was thinking the same thing.”
You are very arrogant.
Do you think you’re the only one?
It was Annihilation and Kaiser.
Even in the midst of this, it seemed as though an invisible wall stood between them as they stood within striking distance, exchanging words with blank expressions.
It means that they aren’t even treating us as if we are in the same space.
“Eek.”
As they pretend not to be, but instead boost their morale and engage in an invisible battle of wits, I hear a startled sound from beside me.
He was a young male user who was the leader of the Seraphim.
Since everyone else came up alone, it was quite a sight to see him standing by himself, trembling as if he had noticed their presence.
Gari… … Shoot? Garish?
You think you’re on the same level as that guy whose name you don’t even know?
[The match will start soon.]
[5… … .]
[4… … .]
“……So, is that it?”
If that is what you think… … I will make you regret it.
That he dared not guard himself.
[3… … .]
[2… … .]
Listening to the regularly ringing countdown, Yamamoto lowered his posture.
Place your hand on the scabbard and calm the seething energy.
The moon is a negative energy.
It illuminates everything without being noticeable, and also absorbs everything.
The end of the power of the steel industry. The realm beyond.
The end of a swordsmanship.
Only those who have transcended the realm can wield the complete Moon Shadow Sword.
The moon is another form of the sword, and is my soul.
The moonlight shall become my breath, and I shall become his shadow.
And so, the moment I stood beneath the moon.
He is no longer human.
It is just a single sword.
[I have realized the true principles of the Moon Shadow Sword.]
[The Moon Shadow Sword acknowledges you as its true master.]
[Executing the secret technique of the Moon Shadow Sword, ‘Moon Shadow Selflessness’.]
[I present the end of the Moon Sword, where only the trajectory of the moonlight remains.]
[1… … .]
“Kaiser! Kai…… huh?”
“What? Why suddenly… Huh? What is it? Why is it getting dark?”
“The moon…… is rising?”
What is this?
Although it’s just a little.
Standing with one foot in the state of complete immersion, he exhaled with his hand resting on the sword hilt.
Sssss.
The cold energy of the moon travels through the entire body.
The energy that rushed in rapidly through the blood vessels reached the heart in an instant, and at that moment, when the heart rate was lowered to its limit.
[The match begins.]
[Good luck.]
—!!!
As soon as the match started, the sword was drawn.
Yamamoto’s sword strike, fired silently, was shot toward Messal and Kaiser.
A chillingly cold and terrifying force brushes precisely past the necks of the two people at an invisible speed.
You idiots! Is this the end…?
… … No, I thought so.
[An unknown force intervenes, preventing the magic sword from dealing any damage to the player.]
[The Moon Shadow Without Self fails to reach its object and scatters.]
“……all?”
Until I saw the trail of the pouring moonlight vanish futilely like a mirage just before it severed their necks.
No sooner had I expressed my bewilderment at that than my vision spun around this time.
[You were ‘parried’.]
The moment the attack was blocked.
Even without knowing the reason, my body instinctively moved and struck with a single sword stroke.
Whir-
At the same time, it flowed into Kaiser’s sword, and the axis of gravity was reversed.
What was seen beyond the inverted view was,
“Get lost and don’t bother me, Yabato.”
Stay out of it. You’re getting in the way.
The two men’s annoyed looks and indifferent voices.
and…….
[Casting Level 1 Chain – Underworld Reversal Slash.]
[Successfully neutralized the opponent’s attack.]
[Add the power gained from subduing to the next strike.]
[The celestial magic sword ‘Omne’ casts the Rebirth of the Stars.]
“ah…….”
It was a sword that slammed down from the sky like a shooting star at the same time it was sent flying into the air with the chains binding its body.
Boom!
[Player ‘Gendo Yamamoto’ has been eliminated.]
[The Mikazuki Guild is eliminated.]
That was the end of it.
“H-Heeek.”
Garish, the leader of the Seraphim, recoiled in horror at the sight of him falling so pathetically, making his resolve futile.
He felt the gazes of the two men looking at him as if to say, “Are you going to pick a fight too?”
“I, I will withdraw. Please, take care of this.”
“……”
Garish, perhaps fearing he might be attacked for being slow, leaps out of bounds like a diver.
[Player ‘Garishu’ is disqualified for a loss out of bounds.]
[The Seraphim Guild is eliminated.]
Now, the only ones remaining in the arena are Myeolsal and Kaiser.
The winning side is our side! Go, owner!
-Riza? Rizaza.
… … The cheering seems a bit strange.
-Hey, it’s just your imagination.
And at the far end, there were only the Guardians, including Jihad, who was possessed by a cheerleader and waving his arms.
Toward Dohyeon, who was gritting his teeth and pretending not to notice such jihad, Myeolsal slowly drew his sword and spoke.
All the troublemakers are gone.
Smiling broadly at him, Dohyeon also aimed at Cheonbyeon.
Before I knew it, it had transformed into a sword.
Then, shall we begin?
That’s good.
It was the moment the final match began in earnest.
