Part 2, Episode 184.
Time flies like a sports car speeding down the asphalt, and before we knew it, a week has passed since the Guild War update that made the world buzz.
There have been many changes in God of War since then.
[Guilds are no longer an option, but a necessity!?]
[It appears that guilds composed of NPCs are springing up everywhere… … .]
[Conflict between NPC-affiliated guilds and user guilds.]
[A bloody battle to earn guild bonus points. Is God of Savior currently in the era of the Great Guild?]
[With the Guild War approaching and fierce competition drawing much concern… … the predicted 1st place guild is the Executioner of Annihilation Guild.]
The first change observed was the structure of the various factions.
High-ranking NPCs who had not originally joined a guild established a guild in earnest and jumped into the competition.
It was a truly surprising change considering I hadn’t paid attention to the guild for two years, but it was a natural progression.
Because there is no longer any reason not to join a guild.
Fundamentally, the guild faction and the NPC faction can be described as being in a confrontational structure.
Since so many famous players occupied the guild master positions, the guild did have the upper hand in terms of reputation, but that was only when it was one of the top 10 guilds.
The prevailing assessment was that the skill level of users belonging to NPCs was higher than that of typical large guilds, and this trend was indeed observed in reality.
– The highest score is the Guild, but the overall level is superior for NPCs.
It can be classified exactly that way.
As a result, they did not encroach upon each other’s territory, and therefore, rather than conflict, it was practically coexistence for them…
[Chrisronda Guild Established! Goal: Reclaim the Top 10 Guilds?]
[Declaring they will prove themselves in guild wars. Let’s learn about the Chrisronda Guild, which rose to the status of a major guild with unstoppable momentum amidst immense expectations.]
[The Birth of an Epic Guild Including 5 Rankers from Chilgang!]
This time, the users belonging to the NPCs formed a guild and banded together, growing into a large guild in an instant.
The overall level proves that the NPC faction is superior.
Wow, the lineup is seriously messed up.
When on earth is the Guild War going to start?
It’s seriously a total collection. Has there ever been content this big in scale?
You can really feel how serious everyone is lol. I tell you, you can feel the murderous intent just by watching the video.
How could I not be sincere? If I drop in the rankings here, I’ll be ignored until the next guild war, so my pride just won’t allow it lol.
– Chilgang Member vs. Teen Guild. Wow~~ I’m already craving chicken.
Are you going to fight to see who has the real advantage?
-Damn it… Our guild is in a state of emergency because of those guys. It looks like we won’t even make it into the top 100.
Starting with Chrisronda, the number of guilds affiliated with NPCs has increased tremendously.
Rankers affiliated with NPCs, who had previously shown no interest in guilds while building their own infrastructure, are participating?
This further fueled the already heated controversy.
However, the reason they were so interested was not merely to ride the wave or out of pride.
Of course, that was one reason, but something else was a bigger factor.
I never imagined the accessory given as a guild battle reward would have an effect like that…
An accessory obtained by ranking high in Guild Wars.
Its performance was far beyond imagination. So much so that it could not be dismissed as just a mere item.
That makes sense, because…
[This accessory is predicted to be a record-breaking reward… … likely to turn the tide of the world… … .]
Even the lowest-grade jewelry is receiving this level of speculation.
Then what about the special accessories of the next tier?
It will be at least more than that.
This is all the information released so far, but since more detailed information is expected to be revealed in the future, it is anticipated to be truly epic.
In addition, since various privileges and rewards are given if you rise to a high rank, you can’t help but jump in.
The main course hasn’t even come out yet.
However, Dohyeon knows.
How powerful the word ‘unique’ boasts.
After all, the Eye of Truth is the only characteristic to begin with.
With the situation like this, even the NPCs rushed out to establish guilds as if their feet were on fire.
It’s at a level where you’d be a fool not to do this, so this isn’t the time to be proud.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in God of Sekai.
The guilds that made it into the rankings this time will be able to dominate God of Worlds from now on.
and…….
The top 10 guilds might change.
Unlike the current top 10 guilds established by public evaluation, these are guilds whose rankings have been officially recognized.
And since he had already started, Dohyeon had no intention of doing it half-heartedly.
Teen Guild?
‘no.’
If a man draws his sword, shouldn’t he see it through to the end?
Dohyeon’s goal was to be number one.
Babylon, where Bora-jae is, and the Heavenly Demon Cult, where the Heavenly Demon is. And even the Executioner of Annihilation, the only one who has never settled a battle.
It is to defeat them all and proudly place the name of Kasinism in the number one spot.
Let’s do this properly.
… … said that confidently, but in reality, Dohyeon had virtually no involvement with the guild for a week.
Is there anything I can help with?
Ah, God. Do you not trust us?
No, that’s not it. It feels like I’m dumping too much on you…
“Kashin is light merely by his existence… … It is enough for us simply to be able to follow that radiance. Please leave it to me and the believers.”
… … Okay. Thanks, Ana.
-Ahem… …It is only natural.
We’ve become much closer now, so I call her ‘Ana,’ but her reaction is subtle every time this happens.
At first, Dohyeon felt awkward seeing him blush and squirm, but he had gotten used to it after seeing him do that for several days.
Nevertheless, the reason I call her by the nickname Ana is… … .
-Anastasia?
-… … .
-… … Ana.
-Yes! Oh God.
-……no.
It was because when I called her Anastasia once again, she looked up at me with a very cold expression.
An impression so different that it is hard to believe he is the same person with those distinctive clear eyes seen when called ‘Ana’.
Dohyeon’s instinct was speaking.
That it would be better for both of us to just call her ‘Ana’.
Anyway, he entrusted all the guild’s affairs to her and the faithful believers, and in the meantime, Dohyeon did only two things.
“Hmm, so you’re saying you’re going to be at the center of such a disaster? I think something similar happened to Dran too… Is this fate, too… Hmm? You ask where Dran is? Well, it wouldn’t be fun if I told you. But you will meet him soon. He might even come looking for you.”
Meet Lucia and have the conversation you couldn’t finish during the continent quest,
“Ms. Lucia. What do you plan to do going forward? Will you continue that secluded training?”
“Of course, Your Majesty. I have lost a great deal of strength because of this incident. I think I will have to stay put somewhere while I recover. Above all… it is uncomfortable because so much attention is focused on me.”
“Haha…… You haven’t changed, Lady Lucia.”
“Ah, Alowin. You have filled His Majesty’s absence remarkably well. Excellent.”
You are too kind.
At the same place, he also had a conversation with Aridna and Alowin.
“More importantly… Lord Kaiser. Now that things have come to this, we should prepare as much as possible.”
“I feel the same way. I’ve learned a lot from this experience. We can’t let the same thing happen again.”
The conversation they shared was about the scene of the prophecy that Aridna had seen.
I will contact you if I happen to see anything else.
We’ll probably see each other often from now on.
“Hehe, I’d love to see Lord Kaiser often, but… I suppose I should hope that never happens, right? For some reason, it feels like the more I see him, the closer we get to destruction.”
“hmm…….”
“Don’t worry. We’ll be able to handle it. And…… please accept this.”
and,
[You have cleared the quest and obtained Aridna’s Gift, the ‘Orb of Clairvoyance’.]
[The Orb of Clairvoyance]
– Grade: Legendary
– Description: A gift blessed by the Nymph Queen Aridna.
It contains the power of her unique talent, ‘Clairvoyance’. When used, it allows the use of degraded Clairvoyance.
-Effect: Allows the use of Degraded Clairvoyance. (Cooldown: 90 minutes)
“This is…?”
It’s a small token of my gratitude for waking me up.
“ah.”
I also received the promised compensation.
The reward is a legendary-grade orb containing ‘Clairvoyance’.
‘oh?’
I was curious, so I tried using it, and the performance exceeded my expectations.
I couldn’t see the entire continent like Aridna, but the range was still a radius of several hundred meters.
The feeling of looking down at the earth from the sky.
Looking out at the unobstructed view gave me a sense of exhilaration, as if I were looking out through a satellite.
Although the cooldown was quite long, it was bearable enough.
In places like unfamiliar maps or trap maps, it would practically be like using cheats.
It was an incredibly welcome ability for Dohyun, who often gets involved with Hidden Piece.
Anyway, having obtained what he needed, decided on his future plans, and parted ways with the NPCs, Dohyeon focused on completing Elanis’s quests.
Guild battles are held at a fixed location every time, and this was because the place confirmed for the next guild battle was the Divine Beast Island, ‘Laksia’.
Since I’ve decided to do this properly, shouldn’t I graduate from Elanis before it’s too late?
As a result of going around slaughtering monsters while pushing through all sorts of side quests, Dohyeon’s time literally melted away.
Perhaps thanks to working like an ox, a week has passed now.
Phew, are you finally getting some rest? Haven’t you been working me to death lately? I’m exhausted.
-Lizariza… … .
-Hmm! Your Lord’s constant dedication is always an inspiration.
Thanks to that, Jihad and Eliza, who had been rolling around like oxen, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Charlie looked exhausted, too, even though he wasn’t saying anything. Still, thanks to running like this, we gained a lot.
The specs are way more inflated than I thought. I never imagined that even things like that would be utilized with my newly acquired abilities…
First of all, I came to know more about the newly acquired abilities, and
[Elanis Progress: 94%]
Unlike the main continent, the New World has a progress rate.
A system that did not exist before but was created during the New World update.
If this reached 100%, I could obtain the graduation quest, and now the remaining progress is only 6%.
“I think we’ll be done in just a day or two.”
Although it was said that the last 10% wouldn’t go up well, considering Dohyeon’s speed of attack, it would be over in three days at most.
Judging by the fact that there is still no news about the guild war, it will probably take at least another week.
It feels like I can breathe a little easier.
It was when Dohyeon wore a satisfied smile at the performance, which exceeded his expectations.
Ding!
[Ana: Oh God. I apologize, but could you spare a moment of your precious time?]
[Me: Hmm? What’s up?]
[Ana: I am writing to ask that you please conduct the final interviews for the guild members. I have put my heart and soul into the selection process, but… (etc.)]
“Final interview?”
