After the base of the Lotus Guild was built-up in the central continent, Harin leveled up quite a bit while following her guildmates.
Thanks to that, even Harinâs level, which felt like it would forever be a two-digit figure, had increased to a three-digit figure to the point she was facing lv 110, but to partic.i.p.ate in the defensive battle with the DarkRuna Guild was irrational.
âWell, still, since Iâve maxed out my cooking and supplied it, Iâve also probably helped!â
Before the defensive battle began, Harin had supplied the buffed foods that she made diligently one by one.
Just like she was thinking, the buffed food was a big help to the Lotus Guild members.
Since when it came to her cooking level, it was so high to the point it was unrivaled in Kailan.
Harin, who completed all of her tasks, logged out and sat on the sofa in the room while turning on the TV instead of directly partic.i.p.ating in the battle.
Tiiing-!
As the giant TV screen, which hung on the wall, turned on, Harin quickly switched the channels until YTBCâs channel was on.
âAlthough I canât be with them inside, I should cheer them on.â
This was because she heard that YTBC was monopolizing the broadcast for this siege warfare of the DarkRuna Guild and the Lotus Guild.
âWhere did my keyboard go again?â
The TV that was inside Harinâs room was a smart TV that was connected to Harinâs computer desktop.
The smart TV was an incredibly convenient product that could be used with the TV and PC linked together.
Harin, who settled into the sofa after finding her wireless mouse and keyboard, began to diligently watch the siege warfare with even the lights of her room turned off, so that it felt like she was watching a movie.
Harin ripped open the chip bag that she had saved in the corner of her room as she mumbled.
âWhen will our Jinsung come out? DarkRuna, they said that they were the 1st place guild, but are they sure they arenât going to get annihilated after just destroying the towers?â
Harin, who watched the siege warfare while munching on her potato chips, beamed as she watched Jinsung, who appeared coolly along with Bbakbbak, who dropped to the ground.
âWhen it comes to games alone, our Jinsung is amazingly good.â
As if she was fighting right behind Jinsung, Harin began to be immersed in the screen.
âAh, shall we open up the viewerâs chat room?â
Harin typed on the keyboard and opened up the viewerâs chat room that was hidden on the right side of the screen.
And the two eyes of Harin, who saw the chat window that popped up, rounded.
âWhat, what the h.e.l.l? Why are comments coming up this fast?â
Comments were coming up so fast to the point it was difficult to follow with her eyes.
It was even to the point that comments endlessly popped up although the channel was behind the chatting channel that was over three-digit figures.
Harin, who read down the chat, smirked.
âOur Bbakbbak is pretty cool and das.h.i.+ng.â
Harin, who was in charge of the food of all of Ianâs Familiars, had become quite close with Bbakbbak as well.
There was no way there was a Familiar that hated pretty Harin, who served them delicious food three times a day.
Fundamentally, Ianâs combat method, where he hit with non-target projectiles from far away, was also flashy, but the battle content that a guild in the top 100 rankings was putting up a good fight while facing the number 1 ranking guild alone was making the users go wild.
Harin, who was reading the chat, squinted her eyes for the first time.
âWhat the h.e.l.l, our guild is obviously going to win, so then why are they talking like weâre going to lose?â
The basis for why Harin was sure of victory was simple.
Since up until now, there was not one time that she saw a battle with Ian turn into a loss.
Harin, who mounted reasonable logic in her own way, pounded her keyboard.
Harin pouted her lips as she pounded her keyboard again.
After feeling severe exhaustion from the momentary keyboard battle, Harin closed the chat window.
âIdiots.â
Harin, who had shortly judged the keyboard warriors with one word, began to focus on the screen again.
However, just then, the commentators of YTBC began to chatter with excited voices.
Thu-ud-!
Along with a heavy, loud noise, dense clouds of dust blew in every direction.
Within the clouds of dust that were so thick that the vision of everybody nearby turned grey, a giant shadow hung.
The users of the Lotus Guild, including Ian, wore fl.u.s.tered expressions.
âWhat exactly is this monster-like dude?â
A bronze giant, whose body was even bigger than Bbakbbak, had appeared in front of them.
The greatness of the giant, who grasped a blue spear that looked even taller and more aggressive than himself, overwhelmed the whole a.s.sembly.
Keu-rwah-rwah-rwah-rwah-!
With a bizarre voice, the giant let out a loud roar towards the front before swinging around the steel spear.
Baaang-!
âd.a.m.n it, avoid it!â
However, there werenât that many places that they could run away to in front of the narrow fortress gate, and about four or five users of the Lotus Guild, who were directly hit by the aggressive spear, turned into a grey light in an instant and disappeared.
After Ian checked the information that was above the giantâs head, he shook his head.
âWhere exactly did he suddenly appear from? How is he lv 220?â
Ian frowned.
âIlahan, that monster-like dude, alone is already hard enough, so how do we face that?â
Meanwhile, Ilahanâs expression also darkened.
It was because even though they had even used their trump card, the Summoning Magic Artifact, the progress of the battle didnât look so easy.
âI swear I think that dude has control over the whole Lotus military strength.â
Still, as expected of the head of a giant guild, Ilahan had figured out the flow of the battle instantly.
âYou, your opponent is me!â
Ilahan pulled out the twin swords that were sheathed on either side of his waist and charged towards Ian, and Ian, who discovered that, quickly let out a command as he grabbed and held up the English longbow that was hanging behind him.
âKaizar, please take care of that bronze giant over there!â
Because there was no one that could face that outrageous monster if it wasnât Kaizar, Ian couldnât do anything else but put his hope on him for the last time, and fortunately, Kaizar nodded his head as he threw his body towards the giant, G.o.d-like person.
âUnderstood. If it is a giant, G.o.d-like person, they have the right to become my opponent.â
At his peculiar narcissism, Ian wanted to add on something else, but there was no time to do that.
It was because Ilahan was very close.
âDie!â
Ilahanâs swords, which were engulfed in a blue energy, were aimed at Ianâs heart and they seized forward, but Ian barely dodged the sword attack as he called over Halli, who was nearby.
âHalli!â
Because of the inertia from when Ilahan charged forward, he stopped a little further away, and Ian, taking that opportunity, invoked Current Proliferation and pulled his bowstring.
Piiing-!
In an instant, like flowing water, Ianâs continuous motion spread out. However, Ilahanâs combat senses were also formidable.
Ta-tat-.
Ilahan, who quickly twisted his waist as he kicked a small mound and turned his direction, swung his twin swords towards Ian again.
Whoong-!
The energy that spewed out of the twin swords flew out towards Ian in an X-form, and Ian quickly got on Halliâs back as he avoided the sword energy.
And as soon as he got on Halliâs back, the first thing that Ian did was invoke Halliâs inherent ability.
âHalli, Guardian of the Wind!â
The Guardian of the Wind buff of Halli, who was now close to lv 140, exponentially increased his reflexes to an outrageous amount, and on top of Halli, who flew around like wind, Ian shot out arrows one after another.
Ping- Pi-ping-!
And, the users affiliated with the DarkRuna Guild, who witnessed that form from nearby, wore fl.u.s.tered expressions.
âWhat the h.e.l.l, wasnât that dude a Summoner?â âThis crazy, how is a Summoner that good at fast firing?â
When Archer-cla.s.s users compete on physical abilities, one of the events that they look at the most was fast firing.
The most important virtues of an Archer-cla.s.s were the accuracy rate of their non-target skills and their fast firing abilities.
However, even the Archers of the DarkRuna Guild, whom were in the rankings, thought that the fast firing that Ian had command over right now was at an incredible level.
Since the moment his arrow left the bowstring, a new arrow was placed against the string before they realized.
On top of that, the time that it took to aim and launch, it went by so fast to the point that they were suspicious as to whether he even was taking aim.
At the fault that Ilahanâs movements were so fast, one to two arrows missed, but considering the fact that he didnât even have the Accuracy Rate Correction of the Archer-cla.s.s, his accuracy rate was also at a surprising level.
On the other hand, the physical abilities of Ilahan, who Ian was facing, was also incredible.
With Ian on the back of Halli, who was elusive, Ilahan faced him directly while dodging or cutting down over 70% of Ianâs arrows that continuously flew towards him.
The two peopleâs battle was so showy and elaborate to the point that if they said that they got in sync beforehand and were performing acrobatic movements instead, it could be believable.
âd.a.m.n it, Halliâs Agility is probably over 10 thousand right now, so then how is he able to follow this closely?â
Ian was seriously admiring Ilahanâs tremendous Agility stats.
âAs expected Is he showing that he is the unofficial number 1 ranking user?â
On top of that, he had a battle sense that was no less even when compared to anybody that he had fought face-to-face up until now.
Ian was slowly falling behind against Ilahan, but as Ly and Pin, and even Bbakbbak, joined in, they were able to continue onto a somewhat even battle.
At this point, the one that was dumbfounded was Ilahan.
âWhat exactly does this guy do?â
When he first charged towards Ian, he was planning on eliminating him in an instant and turn the tables of the war situation.
He never even thought for a moment that he would struggle this much against a user who was affiliated with a guild that he had never even heard the name of and on top of that was a âSummonerâ, which was famous for being the weakest at PvP.
If in the case that Ian had put some of his personal information as public and made it possible for his ID to be seen, Ilahan would have also recognized him.
Since the Summoner named âIanâ was so famous to the point that there wasnât a person that didnât know of him in the community.
However, Ilahan, who didnât have much interest, wasnât able to recognize Ianâs face.
For about almost 10 minutes, the offensive and defensive battle continued.
Even Paulean joined in to attack Ilahan, but as time pa.s.sed, Ian began to fall behind little by little.
Ian grumbled internally.
âThis is seriously just a difference in stats! I definitely think Iâm more superior when it comes to control.â
Just then, when Ian was putting his brain to work to figure out how he should continue with the battle.
As a deafening roar rang out behind the two people, a loud shout was heard.
âWooow, the giant has been slain!â
It seemed he was taken aback by the noise, as for an instant, Ilahanâs movements ceased.
And it wasnât like Ian to lose that opportunity.
âWhere are you looking, you idiot!â
The Magic Spheres that Ian, who hung his bow onto his back and pulled out his staff before anybody realized, shot out lodged into Ilahanâs chest.
