Episode 185.

A little while ago.

‘Have you ever thought about joining Shining Star?’

Ian’s offer to Arthur.

This reached Isin’s ears through Arthur’s whisper.

‘What should I do?’

‘… … .’

It was something that even Isin could not have predicted that Ian would be interested in recruiting Arthur.

Is it because of the image that large guilds usually have?

I just thought they were going to attack to find out my identity by force or to monopolize the quest rewards.

‘Hmm, I guess the guild is tough.’

You made it happen yourself, and now you think of it as someone else’s business!

If Hazel or Ian had heard about it, they might have ground their teeth.

Anyway, even though it was such an unexpected event, Isin’s judgment was very quick.

‘It turned out well, actually.’

The opponent mistakenly thought of Arthur as a user who was not ranked but was extremely skilled as an explorer.

If we use this image well, it might be possible to get Arthur to join Shining Star undercover.

And the implications of this were anything but trivial.

Yishin’s ultimate goal is to seize the throne.

On the contrary, Shining Star was almost certain to side with the king when conflict arose in the kingdom.

That is, the two inevitably had to confront each other head-on later on as the main quest progressed.

At this time, even with the help of the Union Guild, it would be difficult to deal with Shining Star.

There is quite a difference in the size of the guilds, and even if that weren’t the case, there would be more users who would side with Shining Star.

But what if you plant a spy before that?

Then the story becomes completely different.

Because Lee Shin was a user with a natural talent for exploiting his opponents’ weaknesses.

I was confident that I could utilize a single well-planted spy to his advantage, making him as effective as ten rankers.

Of course, the problem is how to plant that spy… … .

Now, the opponent has walked into Isin’s clutches on his own two feet.

An opportunity not to be missed!

Lee Shin slightly modified the plan.

“Try acting.”

-Are you acting?

“Don’t accept it right away, but I’ll pretend to attack you, so ask for help naturally then… … .”

-Oh, I understand.

Arthur, who had been with Isin for a long time, was very quick to understand.

Arthur immediately understood what Isin wanted and took action.

And the result was successful.

‘If you save me, I’ll go straight to Shining Star!’

‘…! You must not forget that promise!’

‘Leave this to us and run away!’

Shining Star Guild members who were fooled into sending Arthur away.

Far from being suspicious, he seemed delighted at the thought of having been given credit for such a capable explorer.

“Use your color to find your opponent.”

“You’re probably nearby. Let’s finish this quickly and go back.”

Shining Star Guild members talking in a way that doesn’t seem to show any tension.

Lee Shin watched them from a distance and whispered to Jeong Yu-ra.

“Are you ready?”

-… … .

She was doing the work that Gilaim and Isin had asked her to do separately.

The answer came back a little later.

The voice was slightly out of breath, as if he was running.

-Gasp, gasp…! It’s over? Oh, oh, it’s over!

“Where are you? Is it far?”

-It’s close. It takes about a minute to get there.

“Then let’s go right away.”

-okay!

‘then….’

After the whispering ended.

Lee Shin changed his equipment.

[Silver Thorn]

Attack Power: 99

Durability: 200/200

When worn, increases Stamina by 400 and gains 1% damage steal. All damage steal effects are more effective as the user’s current Stamina decreases.

Skills ‘One Sword, Two Cuts’ and ‘Vital Attack’ can be used.

The unique effect ‘Link’ increases attack power by 5% when an attack hits within 5 seconds. Can be stacked up to 100 times.

This is a famous sword that a blacksmith of exceptional skill has forged by pouring his soul into it.

It features a sharp blade forged from lightweight materials.

When attacking while moving, there is a low chance of a powerful critical hit.

[Evil and Mysterious Spear]

Attack Power: 1

Durability: ∞

Mysterious Evil Power: 100/100

It is an amazing spear that harmoniously blends the power of evil and the power of mystery.

When attacking, one of the two powers below is randomly activated.

?The Power of Evil:

Knocks back an opponent who touches the window. The opponent will always fall backwards.

?Mysterious Power:

Changes something about the opponent that touches the window by 5% to 5%.

[Notoriety is lifted.]

[ is unlocked!]

“after.”

has always been a piece of equipment that can be effective in PVP.

Mystical powers are highly random, but evil powers have a good effect that knocks the opponent back just by activating them.

However, was a little different.

It may seem like a flashy option at first glance, but its base attack power is quite low at 99.

In order to maximize the performance of an item, you must maximize the stack built into the item.

This was a good option in hunting grounds where monsters constantly respawn, but it was a weakness in PVP where the number of opponents was limited.

Even if the opponent decides to run away, the stack will be broken quickly.

In order for Isin to win against rankers and high rankers, he had to utilize all of his abilities.

Traps, skills, consumable items… .

In particular, maintaining 100 stacks of and activating were essential.

Because it had the highest damage increase among the buffs that Isin had.

Of course, the problem was that it was difficult to activate… .

Lee Shin had also prepared this in advance.

Lee Shin looked back.

“Kuruk… .”

“… … .”

Behind him were twenty orcs already dangling from the trees, their bodies all bruised and battered.

Before the battle begins, you can prepare to trigger the chain killing at any time you want.

And that wasn’t the end of it.

Doo doo doo doo!

A faint rumbling sound coming from far away.

As Isin turned his head, a large number of monsters, along with dust, were rushing directly to where Ian was.

It was the work of Jeong Yu-ra and Gil Ra-im.

‘There are a lot of monster villages around here.’

If you are someone with the same level of skill and experience as Gilaim.

Given enough time, it wasn’t a problem to drive them out.

“… … .”

closely!

Isin gripped the weapons in both hands tightly.

I measured the distance from the dust and watched for an opportunity to barge in.

one side.

“……uh?”

Ian’s face instantly hardened.

This technique felt very familiar to me for some reason.

An incident from just a week ago flashed through Ian’s mind.

‘no way…?’

no way.

Oh no, is it that guy again?

Ian’s prediction soon turned out to be true.

Bam.

“Huh? Over there!”

“Who is there!”

At the same time that a user fell from a tree in the distance, a message appeared before Ian’s eyes.

Tiring.

[Caution!]

[A descendant of Murseong has appeared. is automatically activated.]

[ automatically generates .]

On the Path of Legends, one defeat is enough.

Defeat your opponents and avenge your previous defeats!

“!!!!!!!”

what?

Ian’s mind went blank.

No, how on earth did you know to come here?

Surely this time they would have moved secretly without even turning on the broadcast?

‘Was that person a traitor?! He joined hands with Murseong and deliberately lured me into a trap?’

Ian got the answer right away.

But he himself denied that possibility.

‘… … No, that’s too much of a leap.’

Since the job quest has already ended with the victory of murder, what kind of grudge could there be that would make them want to kill more people like this?

It doesn’t make sense.

So his thoughts went in a strange direction.

‘Then, wasn’t it targeting us from the beginning?’

If they weren’t after us… .

Was he just a guy who originally went around stirring things up here and there?

Rather than aiming for Shining Star, I was aiming for Arthur, or more precisely, Arthur’s quest, but I just happened to come across it like this?

‘That could be the case.’

This was also very unlikely, but at least Ian thought it made more sense.

Actually, the evaluation of Isin was not wrong.

Ian’s eyes sank.

‘No matter what, it’s an opportunity.’

There was still something left to receive from the opponent.

The holy relic.

I was afraid that he might run away without giving it back, so I couldn’t come out strong and asked to talk… .

If it appeared before my eyes on its own feet, it would be a different story.

This way, there are more things you can do.

Ian whispered to his colleagues.

-That’s him.

-That guy?

-Oh, no way!?

-That’s right. It’s the guy I met in the dungeon back then. I must catch him. Don’t kill him, just subdue him.

Against those types, suppression is more effective than PK.

If you kill them, they drop some items, drop a level, and that’s it, but subduing them is different.

Once you subdue them, if you can drag them to the guild, you can use the skilled magicians residing in the guild to mark them.

A sign that can never be removed in a short period of time.

Kill your opponent after marking him with a powerful mark.

Even if time passes and the opponent is resurrected, the mark will still remain because it is such a powerful mark.

Then, follow the mark to find the opponent, capture them again, mark them again, and kill them.

This can be repeated infinitely.

This was the method most often used by large guilds when issuing slaughter orders.

A cruel, but surefire way to defeat your opponent.

Of course, it was an act that greatly damaged the guild’s image, but it was the opponent who did it.

It was well worth it, even if it meant sacrificing image.

‘Just catch it!’

Ian clenches his fist.

He gave instructions.

“Ignore the monsters for now! They’re just low-level orcs anyway. Don’t be fooled and focus on your opponents!”

“I’ll keep giving you buffs and heals, so fight while protecting me!”

“And there will probably be a couple of colleagues! Keep looking around!”

Ian only gives the most necessary instructions.

At the same time, Isin rushed in.

bang!

‘As expected, it’s fast!’

Isin, who was receiving the Serial Killing buff, was fast even in the eyes of Ian, a high ranker.

But it was still much more visible than in a dark dungeon.

Ian quickly adapted to Isin’s movements and then used his skill.

-purification.

Simple, but the fastest skill to cast.

The skill was completed almost instantly and passed by Isin.

… … Fit!

[The opponent’s notoriety is very high.]

[The effect of purification is maximized!]

“!”

A startled opponent.

At this, Ian’s eyes lit up.

‘also.’

Notoriety and divinity are incompatible.

But at this time, which side gets eaten usually depends on the level.

The one with the higher level is usually compatible, and the one with the lower level is inversely compatible.

What this meant in the current situation was clear.

‘There is definitely a difference in level!’

Previously, I couldn’t use this because I couldn’t see straight, but now, in a space with an open view, it’s a different story.

The opponent was extremely fast, so it was impossible to hit all of his skills, but it didn’t matter.

Even if you hit just one or two, it will be fatal to the opponent.

And this is what Isin felt too.

‘… …Does it hurt?’

Unexpected damage.

A single attack took away 30% of my health.

If you get hit twice, you’ll die. If you get hit three times, you’ll die.

They say that if you avoid everything, the problem will be solved… .

The problem was that this was an almost instantaneous attack.

No matter how great you are, you can’t avoid such attacks every time when dealing with this many rankers.

But it wasn’t like there was no way yet.

If notoriety was the problem, then it was a problem that could be solved by getting rid of it.

Lee Shin used right away.

, which accounts for most of Isin’s damage, will disappear, but we decided that it was a priority to eliminate this compatibility relationship.

however.

Tiring.

“hmm?”

[I have encountered the saint of the present age!]

[ will show you the path you should take. Complete !]

The primary purpose of the church is to bring peace and stability to this land.

Because of this, the Order has historically been the helper of the warrior, and the warrior has also been the sharpest sword the Order has.

Go see the Pope with the saint!

The Order will fully cooperate with you as long as you demonstrate the qualities of a warrior.

“!!!!!”

This is a surprising thing.

But the same was true for the other person.

“Dragon… … Phewhhhh!??!?!”

Perhaps a similar message had appeared, as he was looking at Isin with eyes that were almost as wide as the limit.

“……aha?”

The corners of Isin’s mouth went up.
