Chapter 409
6) Emergency
An emergency occurred for the Hermes Guild users in the Gold Mine Dungeon .
Hapun: Someone is aiming for us . There are already a large number of victims . Our friends from the Beden Guild have already been wiped out .
Chodreker: Each party should prepare for battle . Don’t move around carelessly . The enemy is considerably strong and it is estimated that there is between 3~5 of them .
Maro Master: Be vigilant . The information about that group isn’t well-known . If a fight occurs then act defensively and wait for reinforcements . We will patrol the dungeon and get rid of those people .
The level 460 users inside the dungeon warned each other through the Hermes Guild’s internal network .
A sudden incident occurred in the Gold Mine Dungeon so many users were interested .
Sometimes minor guilds would give trivial challenges but this was very rare for the Hermes Guild .
‘Today is an interesting day . They are going to die like dogs . Once the guild’s revenge falls on them, they won’t have the spirit to live anymore . ’
The spectators weren’t disturbed and just waited for the results .
Hapun: Another party has been struck . Always be alert! We are the Hermes Guild . Don’t allow any further damage!
Chodreker: They are very strong individuals . According to the reports from the dead, there is a very strong barbarian warrior so be careful . Don’t try to win the fight and wait for some allies .
The Hermes Guild users continued to die in the Gold Mine Dungeon . There were over 70 deaths in one hour . There was an estimated 100 Hermes Guild users currently hunting in the large and famous Gold Mine Dungeon .
The damage was already close to 70% .
In addition, there was an incident where the level 470 Maro Master who was considered a leader in the guild died .
As soon as the battle commenced, he had reported it through the guild network .
Maro Master: I found those people . There is one female and one barbarian warrior . One of them is holding a musical instrument like a bard but…there is something suspicious . This is a state of emergency so I will kill one or two of them .
Maro Master: The battle is taking place . It is indeed those people . Come to the east side on the 3rd underground floor .
Maro Master: These guys, they are incredibly strong . The individuals seem to surpass the ones on our side . 2 people have been killed . The rest are hanging on .
Maro Master: We are dead .
Maro Master’s party was the strongest in the Gold Mine Dungeon . His death and the party’s annihilation caused the Hermes Guild great alarm .
At this rate, all their members in the Gold Mine Dungeon would be wiped out so external users received the emergency signal .
All Hermes Guild users in the vicinity of Formos Castle and the dungeon were mobilized . 300 high level members from the Central Continent were mobilized in an instant .
“Hiyah!”
“Get out of the way!”
The eyes of general users widened as people on horseback rushed off . But by the time they arrived, two more parties had been wiped out and the perpetrators had vanished .
??????????????????????????
“This place was filled with fools . It is no different from burying money in a field of garlic and forgetting about it . ”
Weed laughed and gloated after sweeping through the Gold Mine Dungeon .
“The Central Continent is indeed a good hunting ground . ”
The individual skills of the Hermes Guild users were fairly strong . But it was a different story when fighting .
Weed, Seo-yoon, Seville, Gernika and Bahamorg’s power was enough to instantly break them .
The warriors and knights were assaulted until gaps were formed . Once their formation was messed up, their skills couldn’t be utilized properly .
Bahamorg’s presence was a significant disadvantage to the Hermes Guild . His dazzling two handed attacks only needed to last for 10 seconds before the enemy was destroyed! He wasn’t as strong as Hestiger but he had grown on the battlefield .
“This is a really fruitful place . ”
Weed looked at the pile of loot gained from the Gold Mine Dungeon . It was a revenue of more than 2 million gold in just one day .
“The Central Continent is definitely a place where items and gold flows . ”
There was gold, supplies and equipment that were at least level 420 piled up .
And after a while, a merchant arrived .
Weed and the merchant exchanged passwords .
“Kuhehehehe . ”
“Uhehehehe . ”
“Mapan’s trading company?”
“I am honoured to meet Weed-nim . I’ve done some work for Mapan-nim . ”
The Central Continent branch director of Mapan’s trading company!
Mapan’s trading company had a wide range of activities that stretched all the way to the Central Continent .
Once he had traded with the Central Continent but that was stopped by the blockade of the north . Despite that, Mapan secretly established a branch in the Central Continent in order to make money .
“These things…… . ”
“I heard from Mapan-nim . I will be happy to do it for 6% of the sales revenue . ”
“Hmm, that is a good deal . ”
Weed accepted the deal with any bargaining . Mapan’s trading company was absolutely necessary to sell stolen goods in the Central Continent .
In addition, heavy objects needed to be transported all over the Central Continent while being wary of the Hermes Guild .
The merchant laughed .
“I will be paid through more convenience in the north . This method will take a bit of time to dispose of the goods and I have instructions to further expand the business on the Central Continent . ”
“Good . I can believe in the director that Mapan appointed . ”
“Is it possible to continue making deals?”
“There will be another transaction the following evening . ”
“Huhuhuhu . ”
“Kukukuk . ”
Weed and the merchant’s minds fit well despite only just meeting . The thrill of secretly doing bad things!
Weed made the proposal first .
“For the sake of smooth transactions in the future, let’s register as friends . ”
“It is an honour . ”
The name of the merchant he registered as a friend was ‘Black Money . ’ Even Mapan’s Central Continent branch director was greedy .
There were enormous rewards so the stolen goods were passed around despite the threat of retaliation by the Hermes Guild .
After meeting Weed, Mapan’s conscience had shrunk while his greed stretched out endlessly .
??????????????????????????
Weed finished the deal and moved onto the next spot with Bahamorg and Seo-yoon .
Their 3 people group increased to 5 once Gernika and Seville joined .
-You have entered Atarog’s Lair . A lair where the Tullen Royal Family hid some secrets . There are secrets hidden but people often go missing in the area . |
The Tullen Kingdom was currently destroyed but the evil spirits are still continuing their mission .
Warlocks who explored the cave wouldn’t be attacked by monsters . They could use the facilities in the cave for spell research and learn some special magic .
In the past, defeating the knights, guards and magicians of the Tullen Kingdom inside the cave would allowed a person to meet the high ranking nobles .
The nobles tried to increase their resistance to black magic and would offer their wealth for a deal when their lives were in danger .
Riches could be gained for a bit of infamy and drop in stats . Or the battle would resume again if the riches were refused .
“I knew it . Human beings are the most disturbing . ”
The nobles would use black magic to fight intruders . Those who won against them would receive significantly high honour, fame and combat stats .
Even if the last boss couldn’t be reached, defeating the magicians would give good loot .
Intimacy with the surrounding villages could be raised . However, hostility with the knights and royal family of the Tullen Kingdom would rise .
After the fall of the Tullen Kingdom, the overall difficulty of the evil spirits increased . It was a popular hunting ground occupied by the Black Lion Guild in the past and now the Beden and Hermes Guilds monopolized it .
The price of admission was a huge 1,000 gold .
“It really is a hen that lays golden eggs . ”
Weed attacked as soon as the Hermes Guild users tried to take the entry fee .
“The enemy!”
“Those people are here!”
It wasn’t far from Gold Mine Dungeon so rumours about Weed’s actions had spread .
They didn’t know who was attacking because of Weed’s ordinary appearance .
By default, the Gold Mine Dungeon and Atarog’s Lair were dark places . It was difficult to see the contours of his face when fighting and Weed wasn’t wearing the Goddess’ Knight Armour . Ordinary armour was a device to conceal his identity .
It had been less than 2 hours after beginning the hunt in the Gold Mine Dungeon . He could use Sculpture Transformation but there was no meaning as the battle went on .
The Hermes Guild had analyzed Weed’s fighting style so it was only a matter of time until they noticed .
The 4 Hermes Guild entry fee collectors were in danger of dying .
“I don’t know what guild these guys came from . Today I will make them regret it for the rest of their lives . ”
“Huhuhu, give me your money!”
Weed slashed the enemies without hesitation . The God of War from Continent of Magic was revived .
“Gold, gold . ”
Of course, he also gained a considerable amount of loot from the Hermes Guild .
Weed subdued the entrance and ran into the depths of the lair with his colleagues .
This place wasn’t as complicated as the Gold Mine Dungeon . There were only a few crossroads, warehouses, laboratories and accommodation for knights and magicians .
They defeated the parties of the Hermes Guild without a hitch .
??????????????????????????
“Those stupid dogs don’t know the horrors of crossing our guild . ”
“They might be strong enough to deal short term damage but in the end they will die . Where the hell did these people suddenly appear from?”
“Maybe they are users from the Tullen region . ”
“They seem to be separate from the rebels and the Black Lion Guild so let’s thoroughly step on them . ”
300 Hermes Guild users had gathered at the Gold Mine Dungeon .
Emergency squads had been dispatched to Formos Castle . By the time they arrived at Gold Mine Dungeon, the attackers had disappeared .
There was no place to go for revenge so they started talking to each other .
Tenjin: The intruders are attacking Atarog’s Lair .
Someone shouted through the Hermes Guild’s network .
Tenjin: The battle is becoming worse! The squad at the entrance has already been destroyed . It is the same people who raided Gold Mine Dungeon .
“No, those guys have no fear?”
“Well done . Let’s figure out their identities while wiping them out . ”
“They will be easy to handle with all of us gathered . ”
The Hermes Guild users at Gold Mine Dungeon immediately started to move to Atarog’s Lair .
Due to the challenging terrain of Atarog’s Lair, they had to cross over 3 mountains .
The knights galloped on their horses while magicians gathered and used teleportation .
??????????????????????????
Weed defeated 4 parties in Atarog’s Lair in a short period of time .
He swept through the enemies while hunting at the same time . The regular parties in Atarog’s Lair heard rumours and clapped when Weed passed .
“They are defeating the Hermes Guild!”
“Please be careful when fighting . ”
The priests that walked past gave Weed’s party blessings and healing without saying anything .
“Ahem, a weak person will receive rewards . ”
From Weed’s standpoint, this treatment wasn’t bad .
And some users gave information .
“A friend told me that people from the Gold Mine Dungeon are heading over here . ”
Despite being in the heart of enemy territory, the general users were on Weed’s side . But they feared the Hermes Guild’s retaliation so they only secretly gave passive help .
‘They will come to catch him . ’
The users worried about it .
“If you leave now then you won’t be caught . Run away!”
“Thank you for your concern but I absolutely can’t back down . ”
A spirit that would never withdraw!
Weed didn’t worry about the troops coming and marched deeper into the depths of Atarog’s Lair .
Some of the curious onlookers gave up on hunting and followed behind Weed . The Hermes Guild had reigned supreme in Royal Road was receiving many casualties so it was a large topic .
Videos were circulated on the internet and the broadcasting stations covered the event .
Weed could deter the spectators but he left it alone . They actively promoted the scene of the Hermes Guild users losing their lives .
“They have already arrived up to here!”
“Don’t let them pass through the defense . Let’s make this place the tomb of those bastards!”
3 parties hunting in Atarog’s Lair had formed an alliance and were waiting . They had prepared themselves after learning about it through the guild’s internal network .
This time it would be a large and dangerous battle!
A fireball flew towards Weed, Bahamorg and Seo-yoon .
A fierce ball of flames . It could be cut with a sword but the fireball would immediately explode when it was destroyed, inflicting damage on the surroundings .
It was a level 430 magician spell that required a long casting time .
It was hard to use on the battlefield but the magic had been completed after hearing the news through the guild’s information network .
“Bahamorg, charge . ”
“At any time!”
Bahamorg jumped forward .
The Hermes Guild users smiled coldly .
“Stupid rookies . ”
“They have no idea about magic . ”
It was ridiculous that Bahamorg would try to stop it without knowing the magical properties . Bahamorg would be turned into a lump of charcoal and the colleagues next to him damaged .
The knights and warriors of the Hermes Guild were ready to move forward . Their plan was to use the magic to prevent escape .
Bahamorg shouted loudly .
“Kuraaaaaaah!”
A stony body!
The blazing fireball hit Bahamorg .
“At this point . It is over . ”
The Hermes Guild users ran to the front .
Magicians and shamans used secondary skills to increase their sprinting speed . Their intention was to jump over the intense flames and attack .
But the flame explosion occurred much closer to the Hermes Guild users . There was a dazzling flash of light and Bahamorg revealed his intact body .
“A lie? This is a senseless scene . ”
“Preposterous!”
“Magicians, what stupid mistake…… You couldn’t make the magic last?”
The warriors and knights blamed their allies . Actually, the magicians had put their souls in to the magic attack .
“The magic was normal from beginning to end . How unbelievable……”
It was a fierce fire magic that burned away dozens of lives on the battlefield . It was a wide area magic by default but the individual hit had endured it .
The attack that consumed more than one third of their mana was blocked .
Bahamorg started his attack .
“Turbulent Split!”
His used his axe and hammer on the Hermes Guild users .
Despite being blocked with a shield, the power was enough to blast them back 10 metres . Gernika and Seville fought the Hermes Guild users on the side .
The fallen Hermes Guild users tried to stand back up . They would have an advantage in a prolonged war due to the priests .
“We have to support our own side . ”
“We simply have to hold out as planned . ”
The priests cast healing magic towards the warriors . But Bahamorg was reducing their health at an unbelievable rate .
“Save your mana . Prepare for a long battle!”
“Treat people who suffered damage one on one and refrain from using wide area recovery skills . Just stop the warriors from dying!”
The priests and shamans were strong support .
The alliance of 3 parties that was considered impregnable was pierced through by Bahamorg . In fact, breaking through with a skill like warrior’s dash would cause considerable damage . Despite being besieged from all sides, Bahamorg didn’t feel any fear .
Even so, this was a pre-planned tactic .
Weed had come up behind the Hermes Guild priests without them noticing it . He had secretly moved when the huge explosion engulfed Bahamorg’s body in smoke .
An assassin’s movement . He didn’t have the skill of a thief or assassin but it was easy if their vision was blocked .
He had moved to the rear while the opponent’s gazes were completely focused on Bahamorg .
“Dual Swordsmanship!”
Weed slashed with the Daemon Sword and a sword he picked up in the Gold Mine Dungeon .
“Surprise, surprise attack!”
He hadn’t properly learned Dual Swordsmanship but the power from Sculptural Destruction meant he was strong enough to attack the defenseless priests .
Weed swept through the priests and shamans in the warrior and then headed for the warriors .
“Huhuhu, a simple victory . ”
The battle with the 3 party alliance of the Hermes Guild ended in a short period of time .
“Kuwaaah!”
“What the, so strong!”
The onlookers stared on with doubt .
-The Holy Elegant Uniform has been acquired . |
-The Platinum Belt has been acquired . |
Weed steadily collected items .
The things he obtained were better than the items that dropped with hunting monsters . The Hermes Guild didn’t wear cheap things so the profit was enormous .
Weed licked his lips .
‘Jackpot . After I finish hunting in this dungeon, I will gain one more level . ’
Level up in one day!
Considering Weed’s level, this was a close to impossible growth rate .
The vast majority of Hermes Guild users had immense infamy so killing them would give him huge experience .
This rapid growth was to the extent of completing several quests . In addition, there wasn’t much risk in hunting so his growth rate was many times faster than normal .
??????????????????????????
Atarog’s Lair!
There was only method for the Hermes Guild users after the 3 party alliance was defeated .
“Get out right now!”
“Which direction are those guys coming from? Where are those guys… . ?”
“Rest assured . They are busy with monsters and won’t be able to catch us . ”
The Hermes Guild users with high pride chose to run . It was an unfamiliar sight to the normal users hunting .
They went deep inside the dungeon to hunt . They had hope due to the level of the monsters in Atarog’s Lair .
But the evil spirits roamed in Atarog’s Lair .
Weed wore the Devil’s Helmet dropped by Montus in order to increase his attack power .
-You have worn the Devil’s Helmet . Defense has increased by 161 . Your cruel mind will cause fear . Faith will be reduced by 3 . The devil doesn’t collapse easily . The endless defense will trigger depending on how the attacks are endured . This state of defense won’t collapse and will sometimes make the enemy’s attacks obsolete . Your body will become stronger when injured . Black magic that isn’t as strong as yours will have little effect . Wisdom has increased by 98 . Knowledge has increased by 115 . Intermediate black magic will consume a minimum amount of mana . The casting time of demonic magic will decrease . All combat skills have increased by 12% . This helmet can never be lost . It will increase combat fame by 8,000 . When wearing the helmet, the title ‘Thirteenth Subordinate of the Devil’ will be applied . |
“Huu, tremendous abilities . ”
He used the Devil’s Helmet in high risk fighting .
A typical commercial equipment!
Weed’s body trembled as he saw the evil spirits .
-Kyahuhuhu, a servant of the devil .
-An evil seed .
The evil spirits were actually glad to see him .
His alignment now matched theirs so they didn’t feel like attacking . Warlocks and necromancers would also receive such preferential treatment . But if the evil power emitted was weak then the evil spirits would attack .
Weed’s fighting spirit was high enough to make the evil spirits avoid him .
-This is worrisome . Clear a path! Hihihihi .
-Let the devil’s minion pass . That human will make things a mess .
The evil spirits avoided Weed as he advanced .
Some of the low level spirits even followed behind him .
-Follow him . We can learn how to be evil from him .
-Look . The moment we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived . The devil’s servant will open up new despicable and cowardly avenues for us .
Ruler!
Weed led the evil spirits in Atarog’s Lair and used them to completely smash the Hermes Guild’s hunting parties .
He didn’t dare fight one on one against Bahamorg or Seo-yoon but his combat capabilities were high after using Sculptural Destruction .
An unprecedented amount of evil spirits swept over the Hermes Guild’s hunting parties .
-Kihehehehe . The doors of hell will open .
-Ahh, the fragrant smell of corpses .
As the battle continued, the Hermes Guild users ran away from the massacre .
“This is truly delicious . It is like delicious ramen soup . ”
Weed’s chest swelled .
He had achieved his goal through pure submission but he still needed to be cautious .
