Episode 154.

‘what?’

Why is that person here?

And you’re even bringing your guild members with you?

‘Are you here to kill me?’

This was the first thought that occurred to Lee Shin.

When we met before, I somehow saved your life… .

It wouldn’t have been strange if I had changed my mind in the meantime.

I’ve accumulated too much karma.

This is what Isin meant to the rankers from Avala Online 1.

The hunting of the rankers by Isin left a very strong impression on them.

So, even if they had been quiet until now, they may have thought that it would eventually come back to bite them, so they should nip it in the bud now.

‘But how do you know my location… … . Oh, do you know my channel?’

That could have been the case.

Now, even among general users, there are people who are starting to recognize it.

If it was a guild with good information power like Union Guild, and if they knew the identity of Isin, they would have been able to find the channel easily.

“… … .”

Anyway, that wasn’t what was important right now.

Lee Shin was lost in thought.

What should I do?

Should I leave the territory?

Or should I just mobilize the Yeongji Army and kill them all before the opponent can do anything?

The latter is a rather drastic method, but in a situation where you don’t know why Grania came, it is the most certain way to deal with it.

Once you kill them all, there’s nothing the opponent can do for a while.

This was also a method that Lee Shin frequently used.

‘It is possible.’

Above all, this was a method that was only possible while she was in Edgar’s estate.

Even though the Union Guild was strong, they could have easily pushed them back if they mobilized the territory army.

Conversely, if they moved out of the reach of the Youngji Army’s influence, there was no way for Yishin to do anything to them.

If you were going to make a choice, you had to do it quickly.

‘… … .’

But even if we moved now for the above reasons, there were problems.

The user will be resurrected after 3 days anyway.

If she had come here with the intention of causing trouble, things could have gotten pretty messy later on.

In any case, the Union Guild was a powerful guild in terms of both personnel and individual power, and its external reputation and influence were also enormous.

-brother.

While Yishin’s worries continued, Arthur whispered to him at just the right time.

“why.”

-Oh, so you’re online. Where are you now?

“I just arrived at the estate….”

Lee Shin trailed off.

But Arthur understood what Isin wanted to say just from that.

Arthur answered immediately.

-Is it because of the Union Guild?

“Did you know?”

-Yes. I came yesterday… . I didn’t know what to do, so I went to see you? But we just ended up talking.

“… … ?”

‘You just had a conversation?’

Isin’s eyes opened wide.

So does that mean you didn’t come here to kill me? Judging from Arthur’s tone, the conversation didn’t seem to have a bad tone… .

Yishin continued to ask.

“Why are you here?”

-I don’t know. They didn’t tell me.

“Why? You said you had a conversation.”

-Actually, there wasn’t much content in the conversation. He said he wanted to meet with me and talk to me in person. He said he had something important to say.

“Really? Hmm… … .”

First of all, it was true that the opponent had come to find Isin. However, his purpose seemed a little different than expected.

It seemed like he had no intention of being hostile, so it seemed like it would be okay to meet him for now.

‘If you fail, you can kill me then.’

In the Edgar estate where Earl Aaron’s power was in control, there was no one that Isin could not kill.

Of course, what came next was the problem… .

You can think about the rest later.

Lee Shin said.

“Just call Gilma.”

-yes.

I was thinking of meeting you first.

* * *

The death of Duke Martinez a few days ago. And the death of Ian shortly thereafter.

Two incidents have occurred in a row that could have rocked the community if only one had happened.

Naturally, users were confused and soon came up with various guesses.

It’s a coincidence.

Which guild is currently doing something under the surface?

Or maybe Ian messed with Duke Martinez and they both perished, etc…

There were many speculations, each of which was quite convincing.

But Grania did not waver even in this chaotic situation.

She had a good feeling.

Above all, she had information that others did not have.

It’s about this person.

Thanks to that, she was confident.

‘This is God.’

This is the work of a god.

There was a reason for that.

‘First of all, to be able to do something like this, you need to be at least a ranker or something similar.’

But rankers usually have heavy butts.

The higher your level, the higher your ranking, the greater your standing within the guild.

Because the more they achieve, the more they have to lose.

This could be seen just by looking at the immediate aftermath of Ian’s death.

It was a big problem that one of the levels I had worked so hard to get down went down, but that wasn’t the end of it.

Due to the penalty of being unable to log in for 3 days, a major guild quest that was scheduled to take place was canceled, and the image of myself and my guild was also greatly damaged.

If this wasn’t properly resolved within a short period of time, it would have a negative impact on the guild’s sponsorship contract.

In that sense, the two incidents that occurred this time were absolutely not the work of the rankers.

Kill the top five most powerful person in the kingdom? Or assassinate the 7th highest ranked high ranker?

It’s a risky gamble that could wipe out everything you’ve accomplished so far if you fail.

A ranker in his right mind would never act like that.

… However, this meant that, on the other hand, it was possible for a user who was both exceptionally skilled and crazy to do so.

in other words.

‘Is this you?’

That was why she was confident.

No matter how much I thought about it, the only one who could have done something like this so brazenly was Lee Shin.

If I hadn’t known that Isin had returned, I would have considered other possibilities, but now that it was certain that Isin had returned, there was no need to consider other possibilities.

It’s just a god.

Who died suddenly?

But you don’t know why?

Then, just take a picture of this person.

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, it’s correct.

Even if it’s not something that you know about later, it often turns out to be something related to God.

That was Lee Shin.

Grania asked confidently.

“Right?”

“… … .”

Lee Shin let out a hollow laugh.

Almost a pleasure killer level of awareness!

Of course, most of it is true, but there was one part that was difficult to accept right away.

‘Why are you asking this?’

Her stance, as understood by Isin from their previous meeting, was ‘We will never get involved with you, now or in the future!’

This was clear, as they released Isin even after having an overwhelming superiority in power and even abandoning their own territory quest.

But why all of a sudden?

It’s not even your business, so why did you come here and make a fuss?

‘… … Are you trying to threaten me?’

This was the first thought that occurred to Lee Shin.

Because if I were in the other person’s shoes, I think that’s what I would do.

But perhaps this thought of hers was reflected in her expression, as she answered as if she was incredulous.

“… … There’s no way I would do that?”

“what?”

“What are you going to get in trouble for if you do something like that? If you get involved with me in a bad way, it won’t be a good thing.”

“… … .”

It was accurate.

Lee Shin nodded.

‘That’s true.’

While a normal person would first think about how to get up when someone knocks them down, Isin thought about how to knock the other person down in a more painful way.

You die and I die!

Even if that meant we would both fail, as long as the other person failed more than me, I didn’t really care what happened next.

And usually, when a chicken game like this happens, the one who gives in first is the other person.

Because our positions were different.

For Lee Shin, gaming was a hobby, but for most rankers, it was just an ordinary job.

-Sob sob! Please stop now!

-I was wrong!

The god who would come running and ruin all quests and raids as soon as they turned on the broadcast was like a disaster to them.

Stories of rankers who couldn’t endure it anymore and ended up quitting their broadcasts without a sound or having their profits cut into pieces were very common in this industry.

Grania also knew that very well, so she refused to get involved in a situation where she would be in a bad relationship with Isin.

“……okay?”

Lee Shin muttered with a strange expression.

I don’t want to get involved in a bad way.

Does the opposition not matter?

Isin asked Grania as if he was looking at her with a meaningful remark.

“It sounds like you might have a good suggestion.”

At this, Grania nodded coolly as if she had no intention of hiding it.

“that’s right.”

“… … That’s right?”

“We want to be with you.”

“?!?!?!?”

But an unimaginable proposal!

Isin let out a small sigh.

“Let’s form an alliance…”

“No, I understand that.”

“… … .”

“But isn’t it hard to just believe it?”

“why?”

“Well, I don’t understand. Didn’t you want to get involved with me?”

Even back then it was pretty blatant.

Because it was obvious to anyone that he didn’t want to step in poop.

She nodded.

“that’s right.”

“then….”

“But I changed my mind.”

“… … ?”

There were two reasons.

Firstly, I thought that I would not be able to avoid this god no matter how careful I was.

Because it’s that person.

Although he said that in return for saving my life, he would not get involved with me later, I honestly wondered how well he would keep his promise.

Isin asked.

“why?”

“Aren’t you going to hunt rankers again this time?”

“I will do it.”

“……therefore.”

Doyle was a ranker.

Grania was also a ranker.

If Isin grows into a ranker and starts hunting rankers in earnest, he won’t care about the previous promise.

“So you want to be on the same side?”

“There’s one more.”

“… … ?”

Although Isin didn’t answer her question, she was already certain regardless of the answer.

It was Isin who killed Duke Martinez and Ian.

“no?”

“… … Keep going.”

“To be honest, we think you may have started this main quest.”

Isin is a legendary job user, and has been active in the Kingdom of Eton.

Considering that most of the major events that occur in Avala Online involve Legendary class users, this was a clue in itself.

Above all, seeing the strange changes in the royal situation since the death of the Duke of Martinez was enough to make me confident.

“What is it?”

“It would be treason. If it’s a main quest-level incident, and if it’s related to the royal family to the point of killing the king’s brother-in-law.”

However, I have no idea why they killed Ian, who had nothing to do with this process…

This just passed.

Because sometimes, this god kills people for no reason.

I did it because I wanted to and because I could.

That wasn’t the point.

“Treason. Right?”

“… … .”

Isin didn’t answer, but his silence spoke for him.

‘also.’

Grania nodded.

Her guess was correct.

And when she figured this out, she had to make a choice.

Stand on the opposite side of this world.

Or, instead of siding with Isin, he will turn the majority of users who will safely side with the royal family into enemies.

It wasn’t a difficult choice.

No matter how many users I turned into enemies, it was clear that I couldn’t defeat this one person.
