Chapter 28-6

6) Special Reunion





Weed secretly descended to the Melbourne Mine’s 4th floor . He was fully equipped in the assassin’s costume so he wouldn’t easily be suspected .

“As expected, there is no one here now . ”

There didn’t seem to be anyone protecting the entrance of the 4th underground floor . They had completely moved into the Belkain’s lair . They never imagined that the assassins upstairs would fail!

“As expected from my cheap tricks… . . ”

Weed briefly became conceited . The other assassins would be searching the 3rd floor . In the end they would come down but he had earned some time .

“The 4th floor is also dangerous . There isn’t anywhere to hide so I have to keep on moving . ”

He slowly walked towards the Belkain’s Lair . Things had turned out like this so it was meaningless to rush . The assassins were hunting upstairs while nearby, Bardray and the Hermes Guild were hunting monsters . Either way he was surrounded by enemies so he had no choice but to improvise .

-Come down now .

Weed sent a whisper to Hegel .

-Thank you, Hyung .

Hegel, Alice and Dine chose to go a different way from Weed once they came down to the 4th floor . They decided to hide in the tunnels until the Black Lion Guild’s reinforcements arrived . They couldn’t help in a battle against the Hermes Guild so they could only wish him good luck .

“I’ll only believe in you . ”

Hegel declared proudly . The monsters on the 4th floor were daunting opponents . The two women, Dine and Alice’s hearts were also towards Weed .

“Sunbae-nim, no Oppa, be careful!”

“Oppa, I’ll cheer for you in my mind . ”

His heart pounded with excitement as he entered the Belkain’s lair where Bardray and the Hermes Guild were fighting .

?????????????????????

“Ah, unfortunately the video isn’t showing anymore . If it lasted a bit longer than I think the many viewers would be delighted . ”

The user who communicated the video died so the broadcast of Belkain’s lair stopped and changed back to the studio .

“Bardray’s combat ability is really frightening . Have we ever had such a strong user on the continent?”

“The power and techniques that battered Belkain like a storm is truly outstanding . He is the warrior that can pull out all the potential of a sword! The sword techniques shown in the video is brilliant . ”

While the host was commenting, there was a war going on behind the scenes . The broadcasters were trying to secure various contacts for the videos of Belkain’s lair . Bardray’s quest wasn’t the only significant thing .

“If the Black Lion Guild enters then a war will occur between them . I’ve heard reports that Guild Master Carlise is already there… If we broadcast it then it will be a ratings jackpot . ”

“Contact the advertisers . Ask them to put advertisements during the late night dinner time and the reruns in the empty hours . ”

The advertisers had to wait in line as well as pay a premium . Weed was in the Melbourne Mine . His rivalry with the Hermes Guild was well known so it was difficult for the broadcasting officials to predict what would happen . The broadcast officials were hoping such a situation would occur in the Melbourne Mine .

The Master Quest competition between the Hermes Guild and Weed were the viewer’s favourite material .

“What are the ratings right now?”

“It is at 12% and rising . It is the highest daily value in recent months . ”

“The bulletin boards?”

“It is paralyzed . The pages can’t move quickly and the title can’t even be read properly . ”

The bulletin board was filled with requests to quickly show the videos . The video had stopped at such a moment! CTS Media, KMC media, Digital Media and LK games were all annoyed . While they were trying to contact the general users who survived, an official reply came from the Hermes Guild .

They had accepted an offer to broadcast a video!





The Hermes Guild would provide the best audience ratings in return for some of the proceeds from the advertisements . It might seem a bit excessive but the broadcasting stations didn’t dare refuse .

Other stations played regular programs so they couldn’t obtain game scoops . Every station organized regular programs throughout the week related to Royal Road . But the regular programs could be put on hold or cancelled based on the audience ratings . Royal Road had many adventures that could occur at any time and stimulated excitement in people’s chests during the live broadcasts .

“Today will require working overtime into the night . Deputy Park, have you ordered toast?”

“Yes! I called and the auntie is already making it . ”

“Order some kimbap as well . ”

“I’ll also call the lunch bento place . ”

?????????????????????

Weed slipped into Belkain’s lair . The Hermes Guild users were fighting like crazy . Various magic effects raged while weapons were raised with violent cries .

‘It really is spectacular . ’

This was the combat power of the Hermes Guild that was said to be the strongest on the continent . Even the Baby Belkains were at least level 450 . The demon species were usually strong . They had exceptional physical abilities and could even use black magic . There was also their resistance to magic, arrows and spirit magic .

The Baby Belkain and the wild dogs of hell frantically ran around killing the Hermes Guild members . Sometimes some users were unfortunate enough to be surrounded by monsters and killed . They wore great armour while high level priests used their recovery magic in a magnificent fight .

The Hermes Guild had brought their elites so not one user was lax . Their level, skills and equipment all played a role in the battle . Everybody here had a level that would raise a great fuss if they were in a city .

‘As expected, the Hermes Guild is brilliant . ’

Weed watched the battle from an inconspicuous corner . It was the skill of finding a quiet corner that he polished in middle school, high school and university! There were a few people here that were also assassins .

The assassins fought by aiming at the monster’s back but it was a risk in a large scale battle like this . Those in a crisis situation could only watch . Weed looked similar to the assassins so they weren’t interested in him .

‘No . 19 . ’

‘Weed must’ve been stopped on the 3rd floor so he ran here . ’

‘This will result in censure from the guild… . . Right now there is a battle so I’ll leave it be . ’

The Hermes Guild had a simple marker on the assassin clothes . The identification number would be written on the pants or coat . Weed used the Sewing skill in order to repair the clothes and create a disguise . It was impossible to consider him as anything other than a fellow assassin .

‘He’s fighting well . ’

Weed primarily observed Bardray fighting .

He was fighting equally or even had a slight advantage with the Woomba Belkain . His body was fast and his finesse and strength were overwhelming the monster . Of course, he also received blessings from the shaman, priests and other attack support . But the Black Knight at the front was still considered the most dangerous one .

‘Fight to your heart’s content . ’

Weed waited quietly for the battle to finish . Time passed without any special incidents and it seemed to be Bardray’s victory . Arrows, axes and spears were driven into the Woomba Belkain’s body . The body became a wreck as its health suddenly reduced .

-Kuooh . You won’t be safe either!

Stones flew and a minor earthquake occurred from its death throes . The Hermes Guild had a lot of experience with boss class monsters so the priests had already formed a protective layer . After that the warriors backed off and long distance attacks were used until the Woomba Belkain collapsed .

The Baby Belkains and wild dogs of hell were completely wiped out by the Royal Guards and the battle group . The knights drove them into a corner while the magicians used mass destruction magic on the group . The Necromancer Krobidyun also systematically raised his power by calling more undead .

‘Undead……’

Weed had a close relationship with them so he wasn’t disturbed . In fact some zombies even seemed cute if he looked at it for a long time! He couldn’t help admiring the Hermes Guild’s Necromancer summoning Doom Knights .

‘Summoning so many undead would consume enormous amounts of mana . His equipment is also excellent . ’

Weed felt a stab of jealousy whenever he saw a user with a higher level than him . His relationship with the Hermes Guild might be hostile but he still admired them . They had been together for a long time so they knew their roles in catching the monster .

The strategies to fight in a group in Weed’s head were implemented at quite a high standard here . The Hermes Guild optimized every aspect, including power and loyalty .





‘If I was in command then I would quickly take care of the boss monster before sweeping through the dungeon . ’

There were many boss level creatures in the Versailles Continent that hadn’t been caught yet . There were monsters that dominated an area as well as legendary evil monsters . Elves, Fairies, spirit monsters, their difficulty was much higher . In Jigolaths and beyond Vargo Fortress there were bosses that transcending imagination . There were those like Kubichya the Chaos Warrior who had a great ambition to rule .

Such creatures would also hunt to raise their level and gain rare items . Weed had no interest in users that were a little stronger than him . He just wanted to challenge himself and hunt every type of monster . Yet in reality he was a Sculptor!

“It is almost going to fall!”

“Be strong until the end . Archer unit, don’t save your arrows and don’t miss . Magicians prepare to deal the final blow . ”

Bardray and the Royal Guards moved without hesitation . They had brought weapons suitable to hunt a boss monster . They systematically hunted the Woomba Belkain .

‘My body is itching . ’

Weed desperately wanted to barge into the battle . But if he moved then his plan of hiding in a quiet corner and not attract attention would fail .

-Kkueeeeeee!

The Woomba Belkain gave its dying shriek . The Hermes Guild had sacrificed 35 people from the Royal Guards and battle company . A boss class monster had more resistance as it approached its end . Its attacks were focused on Bardray so the other warriors threw their bodies .

“Kuwawawak!”

The warriors shouted in order to attract the Woomba Belkain’s attention . The Hermes Guild thoroughly defended Bardray through the crisis . The commander was the pillar that supported the Hermes Guild . The Woomba Belkain howled as it was wounded by Bardray .

-The Woomba Belkain in the Melbourne Mine has entered its eternal rest .

“Success!”

“The Hermes Guild has done it again!”


“The Woomba Belkain . With this we’ve accomplished another myth . We are the strongest on this continent!”

The Royal Guards and battle group raised their weapons and cried out . Weed watched the Hermes Guild with envious eyes . They were so happy about causing another legend .

‘They played a firm part . ’

Hunting boss monsters allowed them to obtain difficult items as well as increase their fame and stats . That’s why every guild periodically hunted monsters in the dungeons . Boss class monsters were fairly limited and were quite dangerous . But if they thought of the sweet fruit of victory than they would have no choice but to grab their swords and depart .

Bardray picked up the equipment that the Woomba Belkain dropped . Many viewers were probably seeing this through the live broadcast!

‘They can even get a transit fee . ’

Weed counted the number of Hermes Guild users still alive . The number of Royal Guards and battle company still alive were 160 people . They were sitting down to rest as well as maintaining their weapons .

‘Let’s just settle down and watch . I’ll just the moment they’re fighting against the Black Lion Guild to escape . ’

The cave that the Woomba Belkain and the Baby Belkains hadn’t been explored yet . The Hermes Guild would probably be able to obtain a treasure chest there . Weed didn’t think that he could obtain anything . In this world, guys like that wouldn’t leave anything behind . Among there were people with the Adventurer class who would clean everything out .

Weed was watching with a pain in his stomach when the movement of the Hermes Guild subtly changed . Users who had been relaxing got up one by one and headed towards the entrance . Weed’s nerves became sensitive . The Hermes Guild blocked the entrance and were then gradually approaching him .

‘Was I discovered? Indeed… By now they should’ve finished searching the 3rd floor and might’ve come downstairs . ’

However it wasn’t definite that he was discovered . He had worn the assassin costume obtained from the ones he fought on the 3rd floor and sneaked onto the 4th floor . Weed didn’t change his attitude and just stood there calmly . Only his eyes were rolling around while calculating ways to escape .

Then Bardray who had been resting after defeating the Woomba Belkain walked towards him . Bardray spoke first .

“How are you?”

“……”

Weed’s mouth slightly opened . It was difficult to answer but he couldn’t pretend not to understand . Bardray would discover he was camouflaged as an assassin . But the movements of the Hermes Guild seemed to suggest he was already discovered .

“I knew you had escaped from your pursuers but I didn’t expect to meet you here . ”

“……”





Weed was definitely discovered . He didn’t know how to react .

“How did you know?”

“I received word that the assassins searching upstairs couldn’t find Weed . And you’re not a murderer . ”

The assassins had slaughtered the users when they entered the Melbourne Mine . So most of the users’ names had the murderer status . Weed might look the part but there was no way to camouflage the murderer state .

‘Of all things… He also noticed pretty fast . ’

Weed was in a difficult situation . Normally it wouldn’t be that bad even if it was a great power like Bardray and the Hermes Guild

‘I really have no luck . ’

Weed couldn’t deal with them in a place like this! The archers and magicians were ready for battle while the armoured knights were narrowing the distance . The earlier scene where the Woomba Belkain received a concentrated attack crossed his mind . Bardray also hadn’t put his sword into his scabbard yet .

‘They’re almost fine after the hunt because of the treatment from the priests . ’

Bardray said arrogantly .

“Anyone who rebels against the Hermes Guild will die . Weed, today is the day you’re going to be trampled . ”

He was qualified to be the strongest person on the Versailles Continent . If the opponent was anyone else then Weed would either fight or reconcile peacefully . But there was no way to escape from the dragon’s claw or bite . If he had to die anyway then he chose to die fighting .

“This will be a fun day . ”

Weed slowly took off the clothes of an assassin . The equipment didn’t match him and it was also low level so it wouldn’t be good in a fight . He wore the Talrock’s Armour and other equipment while the Hermes Guild watched .

‘They have no choice but to watch . ’

Bardray and the other users had already changed their armour and weapons . It made no difference to the power of the Hermes Guild here . The archers and magicians could easily take care of Weed with their ranged attacks . They were some of the highest ranking users on the Versailles Continent!

This was basically saying that Bardray agreed to fight the opponent alone . He had received the blessings of the best shamans and priests on the continent so his health and mana were already recovered . The effect of blessings, even when it was low levelled meant the situation wouldn’t ever be fair .

Bardray thought he couldn’t defeat Weed unless he as in the best state . Bardray would gain great honour from Weed’s death and he would gain a lead in the competition to complete the Master Quest!

Weed grasped the Daemon Sword and took deep, short breaths .

‘I need to cause chaos and scatter the enemy . ’

Even if he couldn’t prevail against the power of the Hermes Guild, he had no intention of just dying . Weed was about to use Wind Sprint when the hiding place behind Belkain shook .

Kwarururururung!

It became difficult to keep his foot steady on the shaking ground . And a monster appeared!

-My dead wife here……! You humans dare commit such a reckless thing .

The body was even larger than the Woomba Belkain . He had intimidating horns and the body was covered in dark red hair . In addition, the eyes and mouth showed its vicious natured . It was the Woomba Belkain’s husband, the Red Belkain!

“W-what the . There is still one left . ”

“This guy isn’t ordinary . ”

The Hermes Guild moved quickly . The troops that had surrounded Weed prepared for battle with the Red Belkain . The Necromancer Krobidyun used magic to confirm the monster’s information .

“Blooming health, show me everything . View Life Force!”

Ddiring!

-Red Belkain

A devil that personally dragged himself out of hell . The husband of the Woomba Belkain, he rules the Haineph Mountains .

-He doesn’t take damage from steel weapons .

-Very high magic resistance .

-Not affected by black magic .

-All spirits summoned below intermediate level will be sealed .

Health: 100%

Mana: 100%

“T-this… . . ”

Krobidyun’s complexion became dark . Bardray’s quest was to hunt the boss monster of the Haineph Mountain region . Judging by the description, he was the real monster . He was at least a minimum of level 620 and judging by the appearance, stronger than the Woomba Belkain .

The most challenging thing was that steel weapons wouldn’t do any damage to him .

?????????????????????

Carlise and the soldiers from the Black Lion Guild arrived at Treipeak’s teleport gate .

“We have to go as quickly as possible . ”

The rode their prepared horses from the fortress to the Melbourne Mine . Dust was raised in the mountain area as hundreds of horses sprinted . The Hermes Guild had placed intelligence agents in good positions to observe the mountain area so they reported the situation in real time .

-They’re currently at Treipeak, the Black Lion Guild has arrived faster than expected .

-Guild Master Carlise is accompanied by a large number of members .

-They passed point 3 without any hesitation and 20 magicians were visible .

The Hermes Guild also left rangers and archers to ambush them in the forest .

“Multiple Shot!”

Arrows poured down on the moving Black Lion Guild .

“Surprise attack . Just go through without paying attention to it!”

The warriors struck the arrows with their swords . They bombarded the rangers’ hiding spot with magic attacks but ran through without confirming the result!

They quickly arrived at the entrance to the Melbourne Mine . All the attempts from the Hermes Guild to contain them were ignored . The Black Lion Guild members were still gathering at Treipeak so they were assigned as the rear-guard unit .

“Are we really going to fight? It will be irreversible once we enter the Melbourne Mine . ”

A magician called Rondal asked Carlise .

Rondal was one of the founders of the Black Lion Guild . Their hunting party became famous as they rode through the Tullen Kingdom until Carlise, Rondal and a few other members formed the Black Lion Guild .

“The Hermes Guild was the one who broke up the United Supremacy Alliance first . ” They have to pay the price for that . ”

Carlise had decided to fight . Bardray and the Hermes Guild had invaded the Tullen Kingdom so his pride couldn’t let them get away with it . The military forces at Treipeak were also moving to this area . They restored peace and order to the vicinity of the mine as well as taking care of the remnants of the Hermes Guild .

“Enter . ”

The high defense warriors and paladins of the Black Lion Guild entered the Melbourne Mine .
