Chapter 203: Do you have pride?
Great Alliance.
Water and oil were mixing in their own way.
[Wolf Dog That Bites the Sword].
As expected of a level 650 named monster, its movements were unusual.
Sk
The wolf dog ran through the woods.
Snap
The surrounding old trees collapsed in an instant.
Float
A drone floated in the air.
Nam Cheolmin, who was watching the battle situation, said.
Its smart. Its changing the battlefield to its liking.
It was not for nothing that it was called a wolf dog that bit a sword.
As if the wolf dog was a field commander.
it was changing the battlefield into a terrain that was favorable to it and its kind.
Hisagi expressed his discomfort.
Is it because it has the blood of a wolf mixed in? It doesnt act like a dog.
Their actions got restricted due to the changing terrain.
But as had been stated.
Water and oil that seemed like they would never mix.
Gaon and Inazuma were gradually fusing.
Nam Taemin raised the corner of his mouth.
Youre mistaken, you mutt.
?
How can a wolf dog know what wild nature really is?
Barbarian.
The barbarian, Nam Taemin, declared to Hisagi.
Ill take charge of the one holding a sword. Animals naturally get discouraged if their boss gets beaten up. After that, theyll fall one by one, you understand?
The terrain created by the falling of the giant trees was not at all easy.
No matter how agile you were, if you walked on two feet.
Your movements were bound to get restricted.
However, it didnt apply to Nam Taemin.
[Enrage].
As he activated his unique skill.
As if running on all fours.
Nam Taemin ran with his body bent down.
Pat pat!
Indeed, it was a movement resembling a beast that retained its wildness.
Even the wolf dogs were surprised by his power.
Hisagi murmured.
Really, hes like a dog.
It was not a swear word or a vague expression, he was simply admiring it for what it was.
Nam Taemin really looked like a hunting dog that had caught its prey.
He ran towards the leader.
Hisagi didnt stay still either.
Magic spear holder.
Swoosh!
A sharp stream of magic poured out from the tip of his spear.
As Hisagis spear cut through the air, the large trees that blocked the path split into several branches.
Under Hisagis command, players of the Great Alliance began to surround the pack of wolf dogs.
Nam Taemin and Hisagi.
And their guild members.
Although each of them would never admit it.
They really hit off quickly.
What, rival?
If it werent for Lee Hoyeol, would they have interacted with each other?
It wasnt even funny anymore.
Even so, its really convincing.
Nam Taemin and Hisagi.
It wasnt just those two.
Gaon and Inazuma.
All the guild members were making up for each others weaknesses.
Of course, it could happen because they used to have conflicts due to their ill-fated relationship.
It was because of the experience of finding each others weaknesses. From the perspective of a third party, It was difficult to understand the feelings between Korea and Japan, especially for the Europeans.
The members of the Berseker Guild spoke softly.
Its like were left out sometimes, arent we?
Crazy, what do you mean were left out.
Of course, you dont feel it.
Hn.
Berserker was a class that grew stronger the lonelier they were.
The lower the vitality and the more the battle continued, the higher their combat power became. In any case, there were not many players who could match the pace of a berserker.
Leonie raised her hands.
If youre lonely, why dont you take down two at a time?
Maybe that was why she was drawn to the dual swords.
Soon, the Great Alliance began to run wild.
Second Sun was surprised to see that sight.
The executive, Zachary, carefully opened his mouth.
S-Schraig, I think weve come to the wrong place.
Schraig almost nodded for a moment.
Second Sun also officially participated in the Holy War.
He followed their footstep with the intention of working together with the Great Alliance as an ally.
The scene that unfolded was very different from what he expected.
Zachary continued.
You call that an alliance. That?
Werent each of their personality too strong?!
Second Sun.
Since they were one of the highest-ranking guilds, they could tell.
There was no systematic agreement or harmony in this battlefield.
But Schraig was starting to see it.
No, maybe thats for the best.
Gaon, Inazuma, and Berserker.
Those three guilds had distinct characteristics even among the top guilds.
Especially excluding the European berserkers.
Gaon and Inazuma were from Korea and Japan.
Werent they the two guilds that held a dominant position in both countries?
As much as they achieved their ranks in their own way.
Unique styles couldnt be easily changed.
Is it a rule within no rules system?
The words were contradictory.
Was that really possible?
It was a sight that anyone couldnt help but doubt.
But Schraig laughed it off.
Well, pride might make it possible.
Indeed, Shraigs guess was not wrong at all.
After the battle.
Schraig announced his intention to join the guild masters of the Great Alliance.
The conversation was resolved quickly.
Pride?
Of course, its pride.
It wouldnt hurt to work together.
Except for one person, Leonie.
???
What was that?
Was that a code that only they knew?
Leonie was almost dumbfounded.
Soon, she heard a sound.
Clip clop
It was the sound of Alexanders hooves.
Neigh!
Ignoring many players, including Shining.
Skal passed by.
He finally stopped in front of the Great Alliance.
Leonie was taken aback for a moment.
What else is this?
The question-and-answer about pride already drove her crazy.
And yet,
Skal came out of nowhere.
This is my first time seeing him in person.
Leonie and Berserker were a player and a guild that had only grown significantly in recent years.
It was only natural that she had no contact with Skal, who was undisputedly number one in the rankings.
But it was different for the other three.
Has the monster begun to move?
In the days when Arcana was just a game.
Skal maintaining his position as the strongest?
They thought it was quite plausible.
With hidden class or whatever, he managed somehow.
But after the Cataclysm.
Until Hoyeol appeared.
Seeing that Skal hadnt come down from the strongest rank, Nam Taemin and other rankers couldnt help but change their mind.
It was thanks to their naturally accumulated experience.
The fact that hes a monster wont change.
They had to risk their life to enter a rupture.
In the ruptures, you couldnt let your guard down even when you entered with guild members whom you trusted more than anyone else. However, Skal didnt have a guild or anything like that.
But if you asked Skal if he had any players he could call his colleagues, he didnt have anything like that either.
In the first place, Skal rarely showed himself.
By the way.
Ahem.
When Skal stopped in front of them.
He cleared his throat.
It was clear that he had a purpose.
Of course, his purpose might not be favorable.
Everyone remained vigilant.
Just as they waited for Skals lips to part.
I want to ask you something.
Skal continued with a more serious look than ever.
What the hell is pride?
When he opened his mouth Snap.
The tension loosened.
Leonie was speechless.
No, really, seriously, you too?
*
Its an obstruction to my act of pride.
Dont get me wrong.
I wasnt the one who said that.
Diend was the one spewing nonsense.
Every time Diend said something, I felt the urge to just send him back to the Arcana Continent. Well, if I conceded a hundred times, what he said wasnt wrong.
It actually interfered with my movements.
The heat is no joke.
As befitting the dungeons name, [Lava Siren], what was waiting for me was a sea of bright red lava. But, what does that have to do with pride!?
Whatever. Saying it will only make me feel tired.
I quickly turned away from Diend and looked around the sea of lava.
Indeed, it finally dawned on me that this was no ordinary cave.
It wasnt even a lake of lava.
There was a reason I compared it to the sea.
It really was as endless as the sea.
Its excessive.
Thank you, Grandfel, for at least omitting the subject.
You dont look like a crazy person whos talking to a mountain range.
Anyway.
It was a relief that I was equipped with new equipment at the right time.
Even without enchanting it with fire attribute affinity, I couldnt feel the heat of the lava.
This was the great power of epic grade.
With great basic materials, it had a certain level of basic defense and attribute affinity.
However.
I couldnt see a path.
This place was a dungeon so I didnt have to panic.
Just like any dungeons.
There must be a hidden device to cross the sea of lava.
Theres a reason why explorers are essential in conquering dungeons.
Even if I looked around the wall or under my feet, I couldnt find anything. In the end, I had no choice but to cross the sea of lava in my own way.
Did he notice what I was thinking?
My darkness can consume the intense heat of lava, my lord.
Diend opened his mouth first.
My lord, you probably know more about plants that feed on flames than I do, right? If you ever need my blessing, please let me know.
Not going to lose, Hiel continued speaking elegantly.
The unique spirit, Haiel.
And Diend, who made even the high-ranking spirits nervous.
They could turn this much lava into porridge.
They were so reliable.
It was reassuring.
But, apart from being reassuring, guys
Since you guys both keep speaking.
I am getting a little dizzy.
They keep saying my lord this, my lord that at the end every word!
What if they ended up influencing each other,
This is why I was reluctant to summon both of them.
Nevertheless, Haiel and Diend..
The reason I summoned those two spirits was simple.
Well, I wanted to get used to spirit magic.
[Transcendent: Your transcendent state is enough for you to be called a transcendent. Current achievements reached: Circle (1,000% increase in all magic manifestations) / Incomplete Quick Swordsmanship / None / None]
Spirit magic was also a branch of magic.
I wanted to properly use the power of manifestation raised by the circle.
Someone who was as passionate as the mage of the Mage Tower might ask.
The {nature} ability of a spirit and magic.
Werent those two completely different concepts?
It was a keen curiosity.
If you asked that, even Grandfels green tea bag and compliment wouldnt be enough as a reward.
Indeed, because spirit magic was actually just magic that assisted the spirits {nature} abilities.
Senior Peiyans magic also isnt far from that concept.
It couldnt be helped.
it was a limitation of magic that couldnt be overcome except by {oddity}.
But I and Grandfel had to go one step further.
Because I realized.
Maybe.
Even if you removed the expectation completely.
Oddity might be the only area where I was ahead of everyone else.
Did you think I would neglect the oddity?
Above all, it was a technique that had been used on the high-ranking demon king, Gamigin. I concluded that I needed to diligently sharpen oddities in various concepts from now on.
Haiel, Diend.
This Haiel is listening.
I will follow your order, Infinitely Deep Darkness.
Whats with the long-ass answer?
I felt like I was already losing my energy because of their answer.
We didnt have to waste precious magic power on things like lava.
Save your strength.
?
You dont need to worry about the lava.
I didnt know about other players or Arcanains.
But for me, lava was like the pioneer of oddity.
Even if it overflowed like the sea, it didnt matter.
I just wanted to check the performance of the new equipment.
!!
No, but you dont have to look so thrilled, do you?
With burdensome gazes from both of them.
I raised my mana.
!
My jacket fluttered.
The platinum embroidery fluttered in response to the mana.
What I manifested was [Oddity, Absolute Zero].
The effect was incredible.
Maintaining its bubbling shape and light.
The lava rapidly froze.
The scenery created by Absolute Zero was beautiful.
I could tell.
[Aesthetic: Upper]
My aesthetic stat seemed to have gone up a notch.
But this damn mouth was not honest about its joy.
I spoke like always,
Refrain from heating it too much. Theres no need to heat up the tea water.
In this situation, my mouth worked well even when it spoiled the mood.
Dont brag about buying the new green tea, Grandfel.
Forget it, I struggled to move
?
Suddenly, a message came up in front of my eyes.
[The effect of aesthetic stat that has reached the upper level is activated.]
Wait a minute, it has an additional effect!
