Chapter 185: Surprise Attack

“Get up.”

“Get up!”

The Spear Masters who had their heads bowed to the ground, finally stood up. Raffy, one of the assassins, was in shock when he saw the man standing at the front of the line. The man was the commander of the spearmen of Bosdyn Kingdom, and he was someone with a level higher than Level 460!

‘Wh…what the hell?’?Raffy thought, flustered at the sight.

“Let’s see how far your skills have improved, you damn weaklings!”

‘We…weaklings?’

The leader of all of the spearmen of Bosdyn Kingdom was a weakling? Was the old man bluffing? No, it did not seem to be the case.

Then, the Bosdyn Kingdom’s Spearman Commander, Bren, bowed politely and said, “I will show my shabby skills. Please guide me, Legendary Ghost Spear Ben!”

Grandpa Ben placed his hands behind his back and nodded. Then...

Shwaaaaaaaaak!

…a barrage of spear images shot out from Bren and struck the assassins at a speed that could not be followed by the naked eye.

“Keop!”

“Ugh!”

“Keokeok!”

Three seconds. All it took was three seconds for all five of the assassins to be forced to log out. Then, Ben walked out of the restaurant leisurely, with one hand on his back and the other holding his spear. He saw the enemies approaching their territory and scowled, his teeth gritted in anger, “You’re trying to lay your hands on my lord’s territory?”

Then, he turned to the spear masters behind him and said, “Bren. Command the knights. Freud, go and evacuate the people. Blotti, you... Zank, Coro and Bendry. Come with me and hunt the enemies.”

Ghost Spear Ben had led a troop of 50,000 spearmen on a monster expedition and came back as legends. In terms of commanding and charisma, he was a veteran.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The Spear Masters had come to greet Ben, but they unexpectedly became involved in a hunt.

Meanwhile, Zank thought,?‘Keuhaha! I don’t have to practice serving today! Perfect timing!’

He was very excited at the sudden turn of events.

Crone also had a small territory at the edges of Eivelis Empire. It was a very small territory, but he believed that it would be very different from now on. He was sure that the huge amount of money that he received from Calauhel would be able to bring him higher and higher from now on.

As soon as he heard that the guild members were already almost at Valhalla Territory, he had warned Genie about the ‘guild war’. After a while, he would send the Second Legion from this place to Valhalla, using a mass teleportation scroll. One mass teleportation scroll cost about 30 platinum. However, Crone was confident. After all, all the money that he spent here would be refunded by Calauhel, so where else to spend this money if not now?

Just then...

[Pharaoh: Crone. The Envoy of Incarnation is here right now.]

‘Hmm?’?Crone hummed, tilting his head in thought.

‘...!’

‘Perhaps the Envoy of Incarnation Kaistra had received instructions from Calauhel━’?this was what he thought.

‘Then, this is going to be easy.’

Crone laughed heartily. Kaistra, the person that could summon Penrus, was not a fully grown man yet. However, Kaistra was still number one in the unofficial local rankings. If such a person was added into the mix, the outcome of Legend Guild was clear.

At that exact same moment...

[Pharaoh: Kaistra is on Legend Guild’s side.]

Crone jumped up in shock.

‘Wh…what...?’

Kaistra? How come? Why did he take Legend Guild’s side? It was completely incomprehensible to him. Kaistra was definitely one of the best members of Black Stone in the country, and was considered to be the figurehead of the organization in Korea. Kaistra was also the person that had talked with Calauhel the most.

‘Is Kaistra unaware of the horror of Calauhel and his ways?’

Calauhel was a man that would do anything to get what he wanted. It was apparent by the huge guild and the god class player that he had sent here with just a flick of his finger. However, not long after, Crone laughed. Legend Guild still comprised a total of fewer than 20 people. It would not change much.

‘Didn’t they say that the Deputy Lord of Valhalla was also a senile old man?’

This meant that the troops would not be able to move systematically. In addition, the guild members had yet to start a full-fledged war, since the Second Legion was still undeployed. The Second Legion was the support. They would be supporting Pharaoh from the back with magic and arrows. Their numbers were close to 300 and even if Kaistra was on their side, Bachran Guild would still clearly win.

‘This is my chance.’

Yes. This was for the best.

If he beat Kaistra, then from now on, he would be able to receive Calauhel’s trust and confidence! Then, at that moment...

[Guild Chat: Carn has been forced to log out.]

[Guild Chat: Raffy has been forced to log out.]

[Guild Chat: Kyokyo has been forced to log out.]

[Guild Chat: Barad has been forced to log out.]

“What’s happening?”

The people who were forced to log out were the people that he had sent to assassinate the Deputy Lord. Carn, who previously confirmed the capabilities of the Deputy Lord, as well as the other assassins, were all around Level 400. However, everyone had died together within three seconds.

After coming back to reality, Carn sent a whisper.

[Carn: GM. We’re in trouble!]

[Crone: What’s happening?]

[Carn: That old man... The crazy Deputy Lord... He’s extremely strong. He treats the leader of a kingdom’s spearmen as a child. And, I was forced to log out just by a single pair of chopsticks.]

“...?”

Crone frowned when he read his whisper.

‘Chopsticks?’

What kind of bullshit was this guy saying? They were forced to log out with just chopsticks?

[Carn: That old man’s name is Ben. The others called him ‘Legend Ben’. ]

Crone went and asked one of his attack captains. He knew that Volo was a spearman at Level 416.

“Volo. Do you know someone called ‘Legend Ben’?”

“Ben? I know him. He is the idol and the father of all the spearmen. His spearmanship is the basis for all of the spear arts in?Athenae.”

“...”

Crone was left speechless. He did not know why things were turning out this way.

“Is he strong?”

“Very strong.”

“...Compared to you, how strong is he?”

“Even if there were ten of me, it would still be hard to beat him.”

Crone’s eyes widened in shock. Ten Volo’s, one of his attack captains, still would not be able to win against Ben? He sighed ruefully. However, he still shook his head.

‘Still, what can they do in front of our numbers?’

Just looking around this place, there were around 40 people. If he led them well, then their victory would definitely be secured. Especially with Pharaoh. It would not be impossible especially if he summoned Baphomet.

Then...

Keuhaaaaaack!

…an indescribable sound suddenly came from somewhere. Crone turned his head towards the origin of the sound. There, he saw a man standing on top of a building. The man had a greatsword in one hand, while his head was covered with a rugged and shabby-looking helmet. On his shoulder was a mysterious baby pig wearing a silver pot on its head, while holding a spatula and pot lid in its hands.

‘Who the hell is that punk?’?Crone thought. Then, when he turned to look at the source of the sound…

“Heok!!”

“W, what’s that?!”

“Ma…mages! Dispel! Dispel!”

A huge shadow hung over the members of Bachran Guild. The sound that they heard earlier was none other than a huge tidal wave. There was a seven meters-tall tidal wave that was rushing towards them.

[Dispel.]

[Nullifies magic attacks.]

The captain of Bachran Guild’s mages, Ken, stepped forward and raised his hand. The wand that was in his hand shone brightly. However, Ken was given a huge shock.

[The magic cannot be nullified.]

“What...?”

Ken’s brows frowned. Not long after, the huge tidal wave engulfed all of them.

Puhaaaaaaaak!

***

[Minhyuk: Genie?]

Minhyuk felt it was strange when he lost contact with her after sending her a whisper. Then, the guild chat window suddenly went wild.

‘Bachran Guild made the first move?’

It seemed like they manipulated the perspective and took advantage of Ace and Crow. Minhyuk continued to walk until he reached a small village.

‘Dad.’

Just thinking about those three letters made his heart ache. Children around Minhyuk’s age usually start to see the backs of their fathers getting smaller. After all, they were all growing taller and stronger. Most of them feel their hearts break at seeing their fathers’ small figures.

However, for Minhyuk, his father’s back was always wide and big. He always felt safe and secure knowing that he had someone who believed in him and had his back. It seemed to dawn on him that perhaps, it was not always the case.

‘It’s because my dad doesn’t want to show me his weaknesses.’

Minhyuk’s dad was the only person that he could trust. His mother had already died and the only pillar that could support him was his father. In front of him, his father had always been tough and strong. But back then, when he heard his father telling that story from in front of the door, he learned that his dad would also have his difficult moments. His dad was silently running in front of him and he had always hidden behind his father’s back. He believed that his father’s back would always be wide and big. So, this time he thought...

‘Let me be the one who can protect my dad in this place.’

Minhyuk went inside. The territory felt like no different from a barren land. There were also only a few of the villagers. This place was Bachran Guild’s current hideout. He easily found this place since their information was readily available.

‘Don’t you think that what they did was too much?’

Then, the whispers from Genie came again.

[Genie: Bachran Guild suddenly started an attack. More importantly, Kaistra... Why is he so strong?]

[Minhyuk: He has always been strong.]

[Genie: You should have told me that from the beginning!]

[Minhyuk: You grabbed my collar at that time...!]

[Genie: ...]

[Minhyuk: More importantly, Genie.]

[Genie: Huh?]

[Minhyuk: Can I kill them to my heart’s content now?]

[Genie: Where are you?]

[Minhyuk: I was going to finish my business here quickly before going to Valhalla. I have just arrived.]

Minhyuk laughed. He would make Bachran Guild bow down and apologize before killing them. He would let the whole territory know about the truth today. Once Genie answered him, he would immediately attack.

He quietly moved through the territory. Not long after, he could see over 30 players gathered in front of a large house. Minhyuk climbed on top of a building and looked down on them, before noticing one player standing in front of the group.

‘He’s the master.’

Minhyuk watched as the man’s expression changed. It seemed like he was whispering with somebody. Meanwhile, Minhyuk took out a ring and wore it on his fingers. It was the ‘Roves’ Ring’ that he had received when he successfully hunted the Clam Golem.

(Roves’ Ring)

Rank: Epic

Requirements: 500 Holy Power

Durability: 4,000 / 4,000

Defensive Power: 108

?Skill: Roves’ Repentance

Roves’ Wave was an ability that could allow him to create and use a massive, seven meter-high tidal wave once every two weeks. Surprisingly, the tidal wave could not be affected by any dispel or magical reflection. As for Repentance? It was a tremendous skill that could eliminate a full Chaotic state once every five game months’ time.

[Ellie’s Swordsmanship.]

[All stats will have a 22% increase for 9 minutes.]

[Your Evasion Rate has increased by +30%.]

[Your Critical Hit Rate has increased by +30%.]

Then, Minhyuk summoned Beanie and placed him on his shoulders. After receiving Beanie’s buffs, he looked at them coldly.

“Oink?”

[Beanie is curious.]

Minhyuk looked at Beanie. He knew that Beanie could feel some of Minhyuk’s anger since they could share a fraction of their feelings with each other. So, he said, “Let’s fight properly today, Beans.”

“Oink!”

Then, Minhyuk rubbed Roves’ Ring on his finger.

[Roves’ Wave]

[A seven meter-high tidal wave will engulf and devour all of your enemies. This magic cannot be nullified.]

Suhwaaaaaaaaak!

A tidal wave rose from the ground and began to grow in size, as it moved quickly towards where the members of Bachran Guild were.
