210.
There are people like that.
People who change the atmosphere simply by appearing.
People who can boost morale just by showing up, even on a battlefield where hearts are broken and defeat seems certain.
So-called heroes appearing on the battlefield, and heroes in myths, were like that.
Verze had admired such people since he was young.
So much so that he hoped to become such a person someday.
That’s why the guild names he created were Hero Guild and Hero Guild.
“Ah, that’s enough! That’s enough now!”
“The Master has come!”
“Kaiser, you’re finished now, too!”
In that sense, Verze could be said to have achieved his dream.
The atmosphere shifted dramatically with Verze’s arrival.
The morale of the guild members, which had plummeted, soared endlessly, and Dohyun and the Guardians also focused their attention on him.
Everyone present was looking at Verze.
-The final boss appeared.
-This is… screwed.
-Why does Verze feel so different from when I see him on broadcast? The presence is amazing.
-It’s different seeing Verze after only seeing guild members getting cut down by Kaiser.
-Did you think a top 100 guild master would be a pushover? The scale is different.
Even the viewers watching the broadcast felt it.
Verze, basking in the attention, walked out leisurely and met Kaiser’s gaze.
And behind Verze, a large force gradually revealed itself.
Step, step, step, step.
More than hundreds of them lined up neatly.
Among them, the hundred standing at the very front were particularly noticeable, and they were very different from the guild members Dohyun had faced.
They radiated a more threatening aura and were equipped with gleaming gear.
-They are elite combatants.
-The Hero Guild’s elite combatants are the real deal. Kaiser is screwed.
They were the Hero Guild’s elite combatants.
-Is the difference that big? He was mowing down guild members 100-to-1.
-It’s hard for 10 ordinary combatants to catch one elite combatant. And it’s hard for ten of those elite combatants to catch one executive.
-…Crazy, so a hundred of those guys came? Including the combatants behind, it looks like there are 400.
-But it looks like the executives and vice-master didn’t come.
-They must not be able to come right away because of their schedules for tomorrow.
Ast, who was watching the broadcast, sighed at the constantly rising chat volume.
“Sigh, this is tough….”
When he first turned on the broadcast and saw the state of the base, Ast was genuinely surprised.
He thought Kaiser was doing something crazy again. He couldn’t imagine that he would think of raiding an empty base in that situation.
And after seeing the battle unfold, he was shocked.
‘That’s… +12 reinforcement? All the accessories are purple too?’
The armor must be +12 reinforcement as well.
When he heard that he had won against Leon in the reinforcement battle, he was half-doubtful, but he couldn’t deny it with the evidence before him.
He’s curious about what trick that unlucky guy used, but what’s even more surprising is the battle itself.
Grrr- Grrr-
A robe-wearing guy who treats the leader of the outlaws as a legion commander.
And Charlie, who firmly grabs aggro [draws enemy attention] with his elegant swordsmanship.
Even the spider that shoots webs from time to time to restrict movement.
‘…Is that a Guardian? Not a divine beast?’
Each one was beyond the level of a Guardian.
Their performance was not at all inferior to being called a divine beast, and in some ways, even surpassed it.
But the most noticeable thing was Kaiser himself.
‘That bastard… his skills are still sharp.’
No, rather, his skills seem to have improved.
At first glance, it seems like he’s overwhelming with stats, but Bora Ajussi [Uncle Bora], who often teamed up with Kaiser, could see it.
He is taking a favorable position through his unique perfect distance calculation and psychological warfare, and he is making the most of his Fierce Strike.
‘If you get caught by that guy once, you’ll be endlessly punished.’
Not only that.
He uses ice currents and various status abnormality skills, as well as backstabs, so it must be a deadly situation for those guys.
It’s hard to run away, and if they face him, they get pushed back.
He was starting to feel sorry for those guys.
‘It’s amazing every time I see it. What god did he choose? I can’t even grasp his characteristics. No matter how much he reinforced, that damage doesn’t make sense….’
He had a mountain of questions because the guy he met after a long time had returned with a complete makeover.
At the same time, he could feel himself looking forward to it.
‘Is he really going to win? Is he showing his hand?’
The expectation that that guy might do something ridiculous again.
The anticipation that he would smirk and say, ‘I did it because I could,’ as always, was slowly rising.
But that was over now.
“You brought a lot of people.”
“…Didn’t you expect this much when you broke into the base?”
“Isn’t it a bit much to act all serious after bringing that many people?”
Because hundreds of troops were replenished in a situation where even Verze was overwhelming.
Even a hundred of them were elite combatants.
No matter how strong Kaiser is, this is a power difference that cannot be overcome.
Verze frowned at Kaiser’s confident appearance despite the odds.
“Don’t be mistaken. This is an assassination, not a duel. And… you have a sly side, unlike what I saw.”
“?”
“Holding the vice-master and executives back, and trying to raid the empty base while I was holding a press conference… It was a great strategy.”
At Verze’s sudden praise, Kaiser, Dohyun, thought.
‘What is all this talk? What do you mean hold them back?’
It’s true that he thought of raiding the empty base after seeing Verze go to the press conference.
Because there would be fewer enemies now than tomorrow when all the troops would gather.
He thought the plan was exactly right when he saw that there were no executives or vice-master….
‘Come to think of it, those guys seemed to be saying something about why the executives weren’t coming.’
Was there something wrong?
It was an ambiguous situation for each other, but now was not the time to dwell on it.
“Well, whatever, it’s over now. Can you see my army?”
Hundreds of soldiers were burning with the desire to kill him right now.
-It’s over.
-I would cheer if I could see even a little hope, but this is… it’s too overwhelming to say anything.
-Yeah… How can one person take down a guild? He did well just by holding out this far.
-Honestly, he fought well even though he lost.
-70 million people watching the broadcast will acknowledge it.
-What, has it already reached that many?
-It exploded after Verze appeared.
At that, the viewers also gave up neatly.
As the saying in the chat goes, they would have hope if it was reasonable, but the gap was too overwhelming, so they were speechless.
Perhaps that’s why there were some who had regrets.
-Ah, I wanted to see a one-on-one.
-Yeah. Who would win if Verze and Kaiser fought one-on-one?
-Are you still wondering about that? The level difference between the two is several levels, so of course Verze would win.
-Still, seeing him do a 100-to-1 massacre, you never know?
-There are still guys saying that kind of thing. Let’s not spoil the mood.
-It’s useless to talk about that here.
The battle between Verze and Kaiser.
That was a topic that had been debated in the community since the two became involved recently.
Until now, Verze was the overwhelming favorite, but after seeing this battle, the number of people betting on Kaiser was gradually increasing.
After this battle, Kaiser will disappear from history.
There’s no way there wouldn’t be viewers who feel regret about the result they’ll never see.
“One-on-one, huh….”
However, Kaiser did not ignore the comment that could have been passed over.
Rather, he even gave a strange smile as if he was pleased.
“I guess there are many people who are curious. Who would win if that guy and I fought.”
“…You’re talking nonsense. That will not happen, Kaiser.”
“Well… will it?”
“…?”
“If you’re curious, I have to show you. One-on-one.”
Verze paused at the meaningful tone.
Verze’s senses, which had become Pavlovian in this area, were screaming.
Something feels wrong.
“Everyone, attack Kaiser right now…!”
But it was already too late.
Before Verze could finish speaking, Dohyun opened his mouth first.
“…of the Guardian.”
Verze’s eyes widened at the shout.
And that was the same for Ast, who was watching the broadcast.
[Ast: No, crazy. He’s using that!?]
He expressed his disbelief by sending a 1 million won donation.
-Crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ A dealer is using this?
-I couldn’t even imagine it ㅋㅋㅋ Isn’t it balance collapse if a dealer uses this?
-Wow, I knew he was confident. Kashin has a plan?
-Kashin? Are you being disrespectful?
-Ah, Ka, Kashin-nim [Mr. Kashin] has a plan…!
Along with that, the chat room quickly became a sea of laughter.
The reason they are showing this reaction is because of one skill.
[Activated the Guardian’s Blessing.]
[Player ‘Verze’ has been designated as the target.]
[Only ‘Verze’ can harm you.]
[While engaged in battle with ‘Verze’, all defense, magic resistance, and health are greatly increased, and skill cooldown is reduced by 20%.]
[You are immune to knockback while receiving the Guardian’s Blessing.]
“Ma, Master. That shield and sword mark floating above that guy’s head… Huff, it’s floating above the Master too.”
“This is….”
Those who saw the mark floating above Verze and Dohyun’s heads at the same time shouted in surprise.
The answer to that came from Dohyun.
“That’s right.”
“…Damn bastard.”
Verze gritted his teeth.
He immediately understood why that guy was so relaxed.
There was no one who played God of War who didn’t know this skill.
[Guardian’s Blessing]
-Grade: Legendary
-Restriction: Tank Class
-Description: A blessing bestowed by the Guardian to protect tanks who always take countless blows on the front lines.
It is said that those who receive the Guardian’s Blessing do not waver in the face of any attack.
-Effect: When a target is designated, the Guardian’s Blessing is bestowed.
No one other than the target can harm you, and all defense, magic resistance, and health are greatly increased while engaged in battle.
In addition, skill cooldown is reduced by 20% and you are immune to knockback.
Unless affected by special abilities, the blessing lasts until one of the two dies or the caster gives up.
-However, the blessing disappears when all mana is exhausted.
-Cooldown: 1004 seconds
The only job that allows a tank to have a one-on-one, and a legendary skill that is also a symbol of the tank.
Dohyun’s second legendary skill that took up a skill slot instead of Bleeding.
The Guardian’s Blessing, a lifeline skill for tanks, was activated in the hands of Dohyun, who is an All-Master.
Jijijik-
With the power of the Thunder Dragon wrapped around his body, Dohyun smiled and said.
“Then, let’s start the one-on-one broadcast with Verze.”
At the same time, the live broadcast title changed.
[Verze VS Kaiser]
It was the moment when the matchup that everyone had been waiting for was forcibly concluded.
