“The Unryong Clan has been erased.”

His voice, so calm as he spoke, left everyone unable to react easily.

Who would speak of the destruction of a mid-sized clan in such a manner?

It was then.

“Th, that can’t be…”

A sound of collapse came from one of the groups of guild members standing there.

“That can’t be…”

The sound of minds and spirits crumbling.

“That can’t be… no way.”

Their faces were familiar.

The new guild members of the Silver Star, and those who had called out Lee San-hoo last night.

The martial artists.

“Bullshit-!”

They were the main culprits who had ordered the kidnapping and murder of Lee San-hoo.

All eyes turned to them.

Their faces and eyes were already red.

No one could joke about the destruction of a mid-sized clan like the Unryong Clan in such an official setting.

It was the truth.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

The Unryong Clan.

“Also, the Gwisang Clan has been erased.”

Erased.

Now that even the name of the Gwisang Clan was mentioned.

Thud.

They collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way.

As martial artists, they might have dared to attack, but with the great names of the Unryong and Gwisang Clans erased, they could do nothing.

“Number 31.”

Lee Rowan called out the numbers one by one.

“Un-bak, Yoon So-hwi…”

And then the names continued.

“……!”

The eyes of those called widened.

“You, from the Unryong Clan, became members of the Silver Star, but you dared to commission the kidnapping and murder of a Silver Star guild member.”

“That…”

“If you had done this with your own power alone, I would have considered it a dispute between guild members and resolved it amicably.”

The responsibility would have been placed solely on them.

However.

“You dragged the Unryong Clan into this.”

They did not have the power to move the Gwisang Clan.

From the start, they had joined the Silver Star under the orders of the Unryong Clan.

They were the young master of the Unryong Clan and his closest aides, ordered to rise to the core of the Silver Star and change the fate of the Unryong Clan.

“The Unryong Clan dared to interfere in the affairs of the Silver Star, and because of that, a Silver Star guild member almost lost their life.”

The words continued languidly and calmly.

“Therefore, the Unryong Clan has been erased.”

“Just…”

Those who had collapsed slowly rose to their feet.

“Just for that reason, you destroyed the Unryong Clan-!”

Now their anger was not hidden or broken.

It burst out.

“Just…”

A dry voice.

“Because of one player!”

They already knew that they should not touch a Silver Star guild member.

They knew what had happened to the clans that had touched Silver Star guild members in previous disputes between the Silver Star and other guilds.

But back then, the targets were martial artists.

And this time, it was a player.

“Just because of a player-!”

Who in the world would think of annihilating a mid-sized clan just because of one player?

Players were no different from livestock to martial artists.

They thought that the Silver Star was protecting and supporting them for some reason.

Few thought that they were truly treated as equals to martial artists.

“Just a player?”

Then, Lee Rowan descended from the platform.

“Then what are you?”

A cold voice.

“Aren’t you just mere vermin?”

They already knew their fate.

Now that even the Unryong Clan had been erased, there was no way for them to survive.

“Die-!”

They drew their swords and rushed towards Lee Rowan faster than ever before.

They were new guild members of the Silver Star, but they were veterans in their own right, and could be called the elite of the Unryong Clan.

The swords were swung swiftly.

Some were wrapped in sword energy.

The swords that poured out using the Unryong Clan’s swordsmanship.

Clang.

They were blocked by a single sword.

Eyes that seemed to burn red.

“……!”

The First Commander of the Silver Star.

“H, Blood Sword…”

Blood Sword Jung Chi-soo.

He had appeared and inserted his sword into several swords, binding them all.

“I apologize for being late.”

He had been away for a while to conquer several gates, and had finally returned.

Lee Rowan assessed him as he listened to Jung Chi-soo’s voice.

He had heard from Kang Han-chul, the leader of the Blood Cult, and Dang Hwa-young about the time Jung Chi-soo had spent.

Jung Chi-soo, the leader of the Blood Sword Unit, who was originally close to being the second strongest in the Blood Cult in terms of swordsmanship.

Now he was.

“May I cut them down?”

With his skills reaching the peak of the Mystic Realm, he had become a reliable pillar of the Silver Star.

“Cut them down.”

The moment Lee Rowan finished speaking.

Jung Chi-soo’s sword emitted a crimson light.

And.

Crack.

The swords that had been bound by him began to be cut down, drawing red lines.

“……!”

Even as the bewildered men tried to retrieve their swords, it was useless.

Swoosh.

Already, their entire bodies were covered in.

Pshooook!

Numerous red lines.

Everything happened in an instant.

The new guild members were bewildered, as if they were dreaming, but those with more experience kept their mouths shut and only looked at where Lee Rowan was.

“Those who touch the Silver Star will not be forgiven.”

Lee Rowan continued to speak.

“Do not distinguish between players and martial artists. The Silver Star is simply the Silver Star.”

His languid voice echoed once more.

“That is…”

Lee Rowan’s eyes turned red.

“I will consider it a challenge to me, the Blood Demon.”

“……!”

Silence and stillness fell instantly.

* * *

A few days later, the Silver Star’s guild house was bustling.

Numerous people were entering the Silver Star’s guild house, and it was already full of people.

The Silver Star’s guild house had been expanded and rebuilt several times, boasting a massive scale.

It could accommodate tens of thousands of people at once, and it had become like a fortress, which people called.

-Silver Star City.

That was the name they used for Silver Star City.

Thud.

Such a Silver Star City was filled with people.

Swish, swish, swish!

Outside, reporters were busy taking pictures of the Silver Star, and many people had gathered to see the heroes of the Silver Star after hearing the call of the Silver Star.

It was because of what had happened a few days ago.

-All guild members are to gather at the guild house.

There had been a general call for all members of the Silver Star by the guild leader.

All the Silver Star guild members had gathered, except for those who had been dispatched far away or could not come.

It was a spectacular sight to see them entering the guild house wearing clothes with their marks and emblems.

“The Silver Star was this big.”

The reporters could not hide their surprise at the sight.

The Silver Star’s growth and power were known to some extent.

However, it was not common for the guild members to gather in one place, as they were constantly dispatched to gates or other reasons.

“Amazing…”

It was not a common sight to see all the guild members gathered.

The number of people reached tens of thousands.

It was a spectacular sight to see not only martial artists but also players gathered.

Thud.

They did not look disorganized or disheveled.

They were all standing straight, maintaining silence with serious faces as they entered the guild house.

“Why did they issue the call?”

“Are they planning to go to war?”

Many people were talking about them.

“Haven’t you heard the rumor?”

“What?”

“That the Silver Star destroyed the Unryong Clan.”

They were talking.

“They say they destroyed the Gwisang Clan too.”

“What?”

“They also say it didn’t even take a day to destroy both of them.”

People gathered and talked.

“Is that rumor true?”

The destruction of the Unryong Clan was already a known fact.

It was a famous story that their guild house had been burned for days.

But that it was the work of the Silver Star.

“And… no. It seems like this is a story that shouldn’t be brought up.”

“Why is that?”

“We’ll find out soon enough.”

The fact that Lee Rowan had revealed himself as the Blood Demon there was not known.

Lee Rowan had clearly sent the survivors back to spread the rumors.

However.

“What the Silver Star truly is.”

The Assembly had blocked it.

The Assembly had kidnapped and imprisoned the survivors of the Unryong Clan and blocked all the events that had happened that day from spreading.

In the midst of that, the call to gather at the Silver Star had been issued.

Numerous black vehicles lined the area near the guild house, and guild members were still entering.

“Whatever is going to happen, it’s going to be big.”

Something was going to happen today.

* * *

The guild members of the Silver Star.

It was not common for them to see each other like this either.

Unless they belonged to the same raid team, had been on the same team in the past, or had been temporarily together on a special mission, they rarely met each other.

They were just people they had only heard of.

“…….”

Also, those they had admired were all gathered in one place.

The leaders, including the raid team commanders, were in the front row, and the rest were arranged according to their positions, ranks, and skills.

What really surprised the guild members was that they were so orderly.

“……This is our Silver Star.”

They were individuals with strong personalities, whether they were players or martial artists.

It was natural, as they were the ones who had to cultivate their own strength.

It was said that there were no major problems in the Silver Star, but the guild members of the Silver Star were the ones who would not be ignored if it came to their temper.

“…….”

However, none of them were causing a disturbance or disobeying the guild’s orders.

It was partly because the commanders and others had taken the lead.

-All the leaders of the Silver Star have gathered.

It was a place where even the high-ranking officials of the Silver Star, who were hard to see, had gathered in one place.

Not just by their positions and ranks.

Gulp.

Those who could not be ignored even by their power.

They were all gathered there.

“……!”

And finally, someone appeared.

Thud!

The guild members straightened up and stood at attention.

They were looking at Dang Hwa-young, who had appeared from the side of the platform.

The guild leader of the Silver Star had appeared.

Even if the guild members of the Silver Star had never seen each other, they had seen the guild leader at least once.

Dang Hwa-young had made an effort to take care of them, meeting and interacting with many of them.

However, there were also those who were facing her properly in such an official setting for the first time.

Those who were about to take a fist salute at her appearance.

“……?”

Soon, they paused as they watched her actions.

“……!”

They widened their eyes and were flustered.

“Could it be…”

Even though they were orderly, many people had gathered.

“Is that rumor true?”

A rumor that had been secretly spreading within the Silver Star.

Its reality was being revealed.

The guild leader, Dang Hwa-young, who had appeared from the side of the platform.

Naturally, her place should have been on the platform.

However, as she appeared, the leaders, including the raid team commanders, stepped aside.

Swoosh.

She stood right in front of the commanders, looking up at the platform.

What this meant was only one thing.

“Really…”

Dang Hwa-young.

“Is he going to show himself?”

It meant that a being higher than her was the protagonist who had created this place.
