Part 2, Episode 150.
The strongest.
Even in God of Savior, where there are over 1 billion players, the meaning of this modifier was special.
No, rather, it could be seen as even more special because it is a game enjoyed by 1 billion people.
Because it means being the strongest among a whopping 1 billion people.
However, surprisingly, the number of users holding the title of “strongest” was not just one, but reached double digits.
The reason was simple.
Since the standard was not based on pure strength, there were more cases where modifiers were attached by basing it on a specific field or profession.
“The strongest among warriors. The strongest among mages. The strongest among archers, and so on…….”
It is to select the best in each field.
Laihas, he was like that too.
Not one in 1.2 billion, but a man who has reached the pinnacle among players with the class of Spear Master.
That is why he is called the strongest spearman.
That was exactly him.
Even though there are many posts mocking me, saying that my combat power is in the lower tier among the top 10 guild masters and that I haven’t proven much yet.
No one could deny the fact that he was the pinnacle of his profession.
[Casting Legendary Skill, ‘Tidal Spear’.]
[When swinging the spear, it causes a tidal wave.]
[The special option ‘Ocean Current’ of ‘Water God’s Spear’ is activated.]
[When generating a water current, its power and size can be maximized or minimized.]
[Maximizes power and range.]
“crazy……!”
“Fuck it, run!”
“Aaaargh!!”
And when such a man turned into an enemy, disaster struck.
The spearman charging forward, creating a massive tidal wave, was practically a natural disaster in such a large-scale battle.
Pfft! Pfft!
Grrrr! Crash!
“Ugh!”
“Aargh!”
“P-save me!”
A massacre took place.
Most users were swept away by the tidal wave and became incapacitated, meeting their deaths at the hands of invaders and monsters.
Whoosh—thud!
Swish-!
“D-Damn it! I can’t die like this…… *Groan*!”
“Ugh, aaaah!”
“Fuck, is this a spearman? What kind of spearman has not a single flaw even when fighting against many!”
The users who escaped the range and survived were suffocated by the spearhead of Laihas, who charged straight at them.
It was an overwhelming gap.
By changing the position of the hand gripping the spear to freely adjust the range, the explosion of water currents generated along the swing’s trajectory creates a perfect offense and defense.
That alone is enough to handle ten users by itself.
No, it was beyond what they could handle. On the contrary, it was the users who were falling behind.
This is the Master of the Top 10 Guild… … .
“Is the difference really this big?”
Are you really the same human being?
“How on earth did Kaiser defeat Raon, who beat a guy like this? He’s a latecomer, after all.”
It is said that, on average, one ranked player can easily take on ten users of the same content in the same section.
Conversely, High Rankers are strong enough to easily take on even such a ranker. And the very beings that even those High Rankers feel like a wall against are the top 10 Guild Masters: the Players.
then…….
How many nobodies like us have to gang up on us?
Honestly, I thought it was an exaggeration.
But it wasn’t. Because the one-sided massacre unfolding before my eyes proved it to be true.
No, rather, it was a downplayed story.
If Laihas is that strong, just how strong are people like Myeolsal?
Grrrr-!!
Kill, break through.
-And offer it.
Even behind Laihas, invaders and beasts of the abyss stood firm and charged forward recklessly.
A situation where you can neither break through nor block it.
It felt as if a massive iron fortress was flying in, wall and all.
[Hahaha… Now you finally have faces worthy of insects. Collapse in despair, you disgusting humans.]
A woman reminiscent of a black rose with a finally satisfied look on her face, ‘???’.
As she said, the atmosphere among the nymphs and users was no different from a funeral.
Ah, so this is how it ends.
Faces that seem to be hearing such voices.
“ah…….”
“……It was the first fight I couldn’t win.”
“How am I supposed to win this? We were ambushed and have no fighting power to begin with, and now even Laihas is becoming an enemy?”
It was the time when dispirited users dropped their weapons one by one and gave up.
They say hope rises from despair.
fault-
The moment a massive silhouette appeared like a dot in the darkness-filled sky behind the sound of something stepping up.
Whoooosh-
The sound of something heavy being swung was heard.
And at that moment.
[Player ‘Ast’ activates the Legendary Skill, ‘Blessing of the God of Destruction’.]
[Unleashes a powerful ‘Strike of Destruction’ every 5 hits for 90 seconds, with damage proportional to weapon attack power.]
[The first attack after skill activation applies ‘Destructive Strike’.]
[Activating Transcendence Unique Ability ‘Limit Release’.]
[Remove the limit to temporarily use the weapon upgrade effect to the extreme.]
[+20 ‘Brilliant Giant’s Mace’ is completed.]
[Use destroys weapon and disables ability for 50 minutes.]
In front of the silhouette that had been just a dot, a strange color that seemed to contain the universe flashed, and then something burst and the sound stopped.
In a silent world.
—-!!!
A shockwave that swept across the ground as if a hydrogen bomb had been dropped spread endlessly, engulfing everything.
“What on earth is going on…….”
“oh my god.”
“Ugh……!?”
“Ah, I can’t see!”
As a dazzling light burst forth from the aftermath of the shockwave, the users who had squeezed their eyes shut slowly opened them to the white noise that could be heard as the silenced sound returned.
And I saw.
“crazy…….”
“and?”
“Holy sh*t!?”
A massive crater situated on the devastated ground.
Above them were the monstrous beasts of the abyss, reduced to a pulp as if trampled by a giant, and the intruders who had exploded beyond recognition.
[Player ‘Raihas’ has passed away.]
[The ‘???’ debuff is removed upon death.]
[Player ‘Raihas’ cannot enter Elanis until the continent quest is completed.]
And I mean Laihas, who is turning to dust and disappearing.
They say that when a person is too shocked, their thinking stops.
“…….”
Not only the users, but even the nymphs were left speechless, staring blankly at the scene of devastation with their trembling pupils.
But that was only for a moment.
Users who realized the identity of the one who dropped the nuclear bomb let out a roar of cheers.
Waaah!!!
It was because there was only one user in God of Savior who could do something like this.
“I, I am the master of the armory!”
“It’s Ast! Ast is here!”
It’s not just Ast! It’s Babylon!!
“Waaah!!”
Master of the 10th Guild, Babylon.
Ast, the owner of the armory.
“Phew~ That went in perfectly.”
I’m glad you arrived in time, Master.
“Should I call it a blessing in disguise? It’s a relief that we’re already gathered here fighting Raon. Don’t you agree?”
“yes.”
He appeared leading Babylon.
Moreover, it wasn’t just them.
Stop putting on airs. You’re practically forced to breathe after landing a punch.
“What, you punk?”
The middle-aged man role is over, so leave it to us.
A woman with waist-length silver hair fluttering in the wind suddenly bursts in.
The user shouted when they spotted her trudging forward in front of Ast.
“Y-Empress!”
It’s the Empress!!
One-man army, Empress.
She was stretching her body while smiling fiercely.
Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck.
“Uh oh?”
“Crazy… this isn’t the end, is it?”
“Wow, this is crazy!”
“What? Weren’t you all heading to the Elf village?”
“Looks like they changed their course after hearing the news of the raid?”
That judgment was insane!
Finally, the users could not contain their excitement as they watched the numerous figures appear, standing in formation behind her.
There was no other choice.
Because they were reinforcements I never imagined.
“Wow, how did we end up running into each other right on the way here when we didn’t even contact each other?”
The timing is incredible.
“Ah, I merely followed the light left by God. Everything is God’s will.”
Why are you making such a big deal out of saying you tracked the traces with a detection skill?
A blonde woman turning her head away as if she didn’t hear.
A woman with a voluptuous figure and an aristocratic face, and, aside from that, an impressive gaze that sparkles whenever the topic of God comes up.
“Ah, have you heard the words of the Cult Leader? God has guided us. It is a profound will to bestow death upon them!”
“Woah! Death!”
“I shall serve you, God. Kamen—”
“Kameen!”
A fanatic, she joined leading thousands of Kasin followers.
And the fact that the Kasin religion has come means… … .
Whoosh- Pababat!
Pow pow pow!
“Explosive Arrow! It’s Harrington!”
“Waaah!!”
A man called the Divine Archer.
Harrington, it was practically the same as saying he had arrived as well.
Two teenage guild masters and two women considered to be on the same level.
And even the religion of Kasin and the power of Babylon!
You can do it!
This makes for a different story!
“Even Laihas died, didn’t he? It was that bad with just Laihas stepping forward alone, so with this, we can kill everyone!”
As if they had never given up, the morale-boosted users picked up their weapons, let out a roar, and charged into the battlefield.
Not everyone was like that.
“Hey, that’s the opposite direction. You need to merge, why are you going backwards?”
“What are you talking about? Have you forgotten? Strong allies only create stronger enemies!”
“Come to think of it…?”
The intruders’ second-in-command.
A half-naked woman suddenly appeared.
As long as that woman, whose name was not even revealed, was around, they could not feel safe even when they appeared.
No, rather, it would be reasonable to be even more anxious.
“If all those forces become enemies…….”
Gulp.
At someone’s muttered words, the users nearby swallowed hard with stiff faces, as if by prearrangement.
I didn’t even want to imagine it.
[… … So, you are the ones from the Eye of the Abyss. Arrogant worms. It’s actually for the best. I will trample you to death right here.]
“Give it a try if you can.”
However, those who have just appeared have no way of knowing this news.
The Empress, who was particularly belligerent among them, jumped straight down in front of her.
The height of the barrier is tens of meters.
This was a height sufficient to leap over the monsters and land in front of her in an instant.
Just before landing smoothly in front of her.
[You fool… … It is utterly pathetic to be so careless.]
A chilling voice laced with a bitter smile escaped from her, followed by the strange energy from before.
The range of that is a debuff covering tens of meters centered on her.
There was no way for the Empress, floating in the air right in front of her, to escape.
“Ah, no. It’s already too late.”
“Let’s, let’s run away.”
“You bastard, why aren’t you running away? What are you doing in the middle of this!?”
“Is it all because the news hasn’t spread? Or not. I’m going to keep the broadcast on before something like this happens again…….”
“Ugh! Even after all this, those damn broadcasters… Do whatever you want, I’m just running away.”
Users who sensed they were doomed turned their backs and fled.
The users who were rushing into the battlefield shouting also stopped urgently and shouted.
“Th-that!”
“I just used it a moment ago, and you’re saying I’ll use it again? This is a scam!”
“Aren’t you going to do a balance patch! What kind of AI is this, you f***ing b****.”
“Run, run!”
The distance from her is at least 20 meters.
If they had run away now, they could have avoided being hit by the range.
However, what they imagined did not happen.
[Warning! ‘???’ is about to inflict a fatal debuff.]
[If exposed to the range, you become her servant.]
[The soaring spirit of high rank prevents the fatal effects of debuffs.]
“Huh? That’s not working?”
Me, me too.
“What? Why are we fine? We were definitely swept away.”
“Look over there! The Kasin cultists are fine.”
Not only did the Empress ignore it, but no one here was affected by the debuff.
The Empress grinned as she took out something shiny from the inside pocket of her jacket and held it.
[The ‘Soul Harmony’ effect of Rupalo’s Jewel partially offsets the difference in rank.]
[There is not a significant difference in rank between the owner and the caster.]
[Rupalo’s Blessing successfully fully defended against the debuff’s lethal effect.]
[Rupalo’s energy is stacked beyond a certain level.]
[The effect also applies to nearby allies.]
Rupalo, a spirit creature whose caliber far surpasses that of a mortal.
His jewel and protection were not allowing him to be affected by such a wide-ranging debuff.
[What is this… … .]
“You launched a surprise attack and got the flow, so it felt like everything was going your way, right? You liked it, didn’t you?”
Unable to hide her bewilderment, the Empress spoke to her with a fierce smile and flashing red eyes.
Now it’s our turn to counterattack. You bastard.
It was the prelude to a turnaround.
* * *
Meanwhile, just before the colleagues and the Kashin cult gathered in full force.
Dohyeon is… … .
[I intend to bloom the trait ‘Overcome’.]
[Only those who seek to overcome their predetermined limits can earn the qualification to make that overcoming blossom.]
[Moved to the inner mental space for blooming.]
[Overcome the limits you set for yourself.]
[Challenger ‘Kaiser’, your unconsciously perceived limit and your most brilliant self appear.]
I stood in a virtual space of nothingness, just like the term “mental space.”
And a feast of countless messages welcoming him, and a man slowly revealing himself behind them.
The man was a face that Dohyeon also recognized well.
“……I wondered what it was when you said ‘overcome.’”
Dohyeon let out a sigh as he looked at that face, which was not just familiar, but all too familiar.
[Recreated the challenger from their most overwhelming and glorious days.]
[Win against him.]
“I never imagined my opponent would be the version of me from the Demlok days.”
Kaiser from God of Sei.
He was encountering Kaiser from the Demrok era.
