[Kaiser and the Top 10 Guilds are Seriously Clashing!!]

A post suddenly appeared on the God of the Battlefield website.

└? What are you talking about?

└Why are Kaiser and the Top 10 Guilds suddenly fighting?

└Are you talking about taking down Sia? But honestly, the pictures only show that they caught it, so it’s hard to tell if they really won.

└There’s still someone denying it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The Top 10 Guilds are Kaiser, that’s the accepted theory?

└That’s just what people are saying. Do you believe that? The Top 10 Guilds aren’t some dog’s name.

└LOL;; Are you saying even Myeolsal would lose to Kaiser?

Using both the hot topic Kaiser and the Top 10 Guilds, comments flooded in instantly.

The number of views soared, quickly surpassing tens of thousands.

└So what is this about?

└What else but clickbait ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Do you believe that?

Most of the opinions were negative, but that atmosphere didn’t last long.

-You idiots. Kaiser and the Top 10 Guilds are really fighting.

-No, seriously, it’s real!

-The labyrinth is a complete popcorn fest right now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Meaning: a very entertaining and chaotic situation]

-? Why are the Top 10 Guilds and Kaiser suddenly fighting?

-What’s real? Instead of just saying they’re fighting, someone explain the situation.

It was because an unspecified number of people were claiming it was true.

As netizens, their interest piqued, clamored for information, SpeedXGun appeared, neatly summarizing the situation.

-You know how the Emperor opened the Empire Quest, right? It’s a mess right now.

└Yeah, I know.

└It’s a chance to build a real friendship with the Emperor, so it’s a big deal right now.

-That’s right. So, the Leonne Guild and the Aegis Guild were teaming up to try to defeat the boss because the strategy score is super important. But it seems like the aggro [short for ‘aggression,’ referring to the act of drawing enemy attention] glitched out for a moment. Kaiser happened to pass by and accidentally got the last hit. That’s how the fight started, and Kaiser told them to come at him without backing down.

└WTF…….

└That’s some guts ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is why he’s called a god.

└??? : I’m the tank in the party.

└Oh, he’s really a tank ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Top-tier aggro.

└Even Gandhi can’t stand that aggro skill……. Is he the god of tanks?

It was only natural that there was an explosive reaction.

People who were in a sea of laughter couldn’t hide their excitement, and the topic gradually shifted to who would win.

-Honestly, the Top 10 Guilds aren’t the Top 10 Guilds for nothing. Shao is an assassin, so her strength is weak, and if a surprise attack fails, so be it, but Aegis and Leonne are different.

-Yeah, Kaiser will win them all~

-Ugh. Can you Kaiser fanatics shut up?

-Kaiser fanatics? Kaiserian believers! Here’s a heretic!

-If it were 1v1, I wouldn’t know, but this is more like an execution than a duel, so isn’t it practically guaranteed to lose?

-LOL;; Kaiser isn’t really a god, so how can he win this?

-He’s not even max level ㅋㅋㅋ

This news quickly spread beyond the community and reached the ears of users playing God of the Battlefield.

Among those ears was Damian Alexander.

-……That’s the situation, Master.

“Yes. Good work. It went according to plan.”

Damian, wearing a bitter smile at his subordinate’s report, raised his head.

[You have defeated ‘Himos,’ the calamity awakened from the seal.]

[You are awarded a high strategy score for dealing the final blow.]

[You have acquired the Essence of Calamity.]

Lowering the massive shield, the horribly butchered corpse of the calamity was revealed.

It was a wolf-type monster characterized by powerful attack power and agile movements, but there was little fatal damage to the raid team.

“As expected, Master…….”

“Other guilds’ tanks are getting torn apart, but Master is taking the aggro, so the stability is definitely different.”

“He’s not the father of tanks for nothing.”

The majority of the Aegis Guild members were tanks.

It was only natural that respect would bloom in the eyes of the users.

As he put away his shield while receiving everyone’s respect, a cautious voice was heard.

-……Um, Master.

“Speak.”

-Wasn’t consuming the calamity awakened from the seal a bit much? There were many other ways to create a pretext…….

It was a reasonable opinion.

Those monsters called calamities awakened from the seal seemed to contribute greatly to the score in this labyrinth raid.

It was a big waste to just let them catch it by touching it.

But.

“There’s a saying I recently learned. I heard there’s a saying like this in Korea.”

-……What is it?

“육참골단(肉斬骨斷). Give flesh and take bone [Sacrifice the small to gain the large; endure a small loss for a greater gain].”

-Ah.

Damian slightly raised the corners of his mouth at the voice filled with surprise.

It was a cold smile like a snake.

“Calamity? It’s definitely a very important factor. Because there are fewer of them compared to the raid team. But it’s not the only one.”

On the other hand, Kaiser is the only one.

That’s why he had to accept this much loss.

If the pretext is that he stole the calamity, they will accept that he did something wrong.

At the same time, people will realize.

“I need to make sure to imprint it on them. What happens if you resist us. How Kaiser, who had so much hope, ends up.”

-Indeed…… Amazing.

There was a bit of concern in the voice that was sincerely impressed.

-Um…… But doesn’t he have the owner of the armory? If Babylon steps in, wouldn’t it be a bit too much for the vice masters?

“Don’t worry. I’ve already taken care of that side.”

-If they’re enemies…… Could it be?

“Yes.”

Damian muttered, looking back with sinister eyes.

‘It’s time for those guys to determine their superiority.’

Cheonoecheon and Babylon.

As long-standing rivals, they had clashed and bickered many times. But there had never been a proper conclusion.

Located in the Top 10 Guilds, they had no chance to fight properly because of the unwritten rules.

And now, that opportunity was given.

‘Go ahead and run wild. Shao.’

* * *

“Damn it…….”

Astral frowned.

In front of him was a woman riding a Pegasus with its wings spread, roaming in the air.

The woman with brown hair pinned up with a hairpin, Shao, grinned when their eyes met.

“You don’t seem happy? I’m excited. I finally have a chance to trample on you, you unlucky bastard.”

“……Did Damian send you?”

“Huh, what am I, a dog? To go if he sends me. We’re joining forces because our intentions align.”

“I thought Damian made the unwritten rules.”

“Oh my, why are you acting like an amateur? Don’t you know that you can ignore it exceptionally if more than half agree?”

……More than half?

Astral’s face became serious as he looked at Shao, who shrugged nonchalantly.

‘This seems to be going more according to plan than I thought.’

More than half participated, which meant that at least five of the Top 10 Guilds agreed.

He knew about three, but he never thought there would be two more.

‘He sure has a lot of enemies, that bastard.’

Seeing those who hadn’t moved a muscle until now united like this because of Kaiser was amazing in another sense.

“And well…… There’s a good reason on this side, so what’s there to hesitate about?”

“……Reason?”

When he replied as if he was talking nonsense, the sneer on Shao’s face deepened.

“You don’t know the situation very well……. Tsk tsk.”

“……Just answer. Don’t beat around the bush.”

“Your precious friend stole the boss that the Aegis and Leonne Guild alliance was catching. And the special ability was triggered incorrectly, so some executives died? Oh, I wouldn’t be able to stand it even if it were me…… Cheer up. You want to kill him, right?”

Shao frowned as Astral’s face turned cold.

However, even with the provocation, Astral didn’t bother to answer. He wasn’t in a calm enough situation to react to such things one by one.

‘So that’s how the situation is going. That’s why they brought all their forces.’

Looking up, he saw a legion of over a hundred knights riding white horses behind Shao.

And behind them, densely lined up, were well over 500 troops.

Considering that the number of participants in this labyrinth is about 3,000, it was safe to say that they had scraped together everything they could.

But that was the same on this side.

Step, step, step, step.

Hundreds of guild members appeared behind Astral.

Those who were in charge of their respective missions had received the call and quickly returned.

“I was suspicious of what you guys were doing, so I scraped together what I could.”

“……You always have such a good sense for useless things.”

Shao clicked her tongue, but then shrugged.

“Well, I expected this much. It’s better this way. You won’t make excuses later even if you lose, right?”

“Ha, are you confident?”

“What’s not to be confident about?”

Astral, who was loosening his shoulders while looking up from the ground, and Shao, who was slowly taking out her staff while riding Pegasus.

They, who had been growling at each other, closed their mouths as if they had promised.

And immediately after that.

Heeheeing-

Swish-

[The divine beast, ‘Phantasmal Beast Devouring Weapons,’ has swallowed the +15 Supreme Emperor Sword.]

[Starting combination.]

At the same time as Pegasus let out a powerful cry, huge maws opened on both sides of Astral and swallowed the weapons.

[+15 ‘Sky-Tearing Gravity Crusher’ has been completed.]

[Activating the unique ability ‘Weapon Upgrade’.]

[Temporarily increases the weapon’s enhancement by +1.]

As he jumped into the air, the weapons spat out from the maws were held in Astral’s hands.

At the same time, he swung his weapons wildly,

Kwaaaang-!

Heeheeing-!?

“Ugh!”

“K, keep your balance!”

“What is this ridiculous shockwave……!”

The shockwave that exploded with a roar swept through the white horse corps floating in the air.

A strange trace like tearing the sky, like the modifier of the weapon.

“That ignorant bastard is just dirty with damage…….”

Shao frowned, barely escaping the range.

[Greatly affected by gravity for a while, swept away by the energy of the Sky-Tearing Gravity Crusher.]

[The white horse flying in the sky is too heavy to fly into the air.]

“W, what is this!?”

“If this happens, taking this position will have the opposite effect.”

“S, Shao-nim. I’m sorry.”

This was that unlucky bastard’s ability.

A rare cheat divine beast that can instantly create suitable weapons for the opponent.

And the unique ability and capital to support it.

‘I don’t like it no matter when I see it.’

Because of that ability, there were many reviews in the world that Cheonoecheon was pushed back by Babylon.

She never liked that.

“It’s funny to think that this side doesn’t have such an ability, right?”

This side has plenty of countermeasures.

Ttak,

Heeheeing-!

When Shao lightly snapped her fingers, brilliant light settled on Pegasus’s wings.

[Pegasus spreads the wings of purification.]

[Temporarily ignores all debuff effects for the same race.]

“Huh?”

“It’s done! It’s rising again!”

Then the white horses soared upwards again as if they had never fallen.

In the end, Astral, who landed without any gain, had a shit-eating face [Meaning: looking displeased or defeated].

‘It’s going to be a headache……. It’s going to be a long-term battle if this happens.’

Objectively, the firepower is advantageous on this side, but if that annoying aerial battle starts, things will be different.

Then the fight will inevitably be prolonged and the attacks will inevitably accumulate.

Then the disadvantage is on this side after all.

And that’s what Shao was aiming for.

“You seem impatient? Do you have somewhere to go?”

“…….”

“I wish you would focus on me.”

Just by tying up Babylon, they would succeed in catching Kaiser without even touching him.

It was the most ideal picture to have the guild members handle it without the masters stepping in directly.

It feels more overwhelming, and it won’t get caught up in unnecessary controversy.

“Don’t say terrible things. It’s disgusting to see your face.”

“I don’t have a face to be ashamed of anywhere?”

“Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and attack…….”

“?”

Astral, who couldn’t hide his impatience, stopped talking.

Then he muttered as if he was whispering to someone, and then he raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

‘What, why are you suddenly laughing? It’s creepy.’

It was unpleasant that he was distracted in front of her, but he was laughing?

It was when Shao, who frowned, was about to say something.

“Okay. Let’s end it today as you wish.”

“……Did you suddenly eat something wrong? Why are your eyes twinkling so creepily?”

“I don’t think I need to be bound by time.”

“Speak so I can understand.”

“I have more than just Kaiser as a friend.”

He’s not reliable in other places, but there’s no more trustworthy expert than him in this field.

Astral, who added those words, grabbed his weapon with a much more comfortable face.

And at that time.

[Astral: A trustworthy guy is going.]

[Astral: He’ll be there soon.]

“……?”

In Do-hyun’s eyes, who was tilting his head at the incomprehensible whisper, a different color appeared.

Soon a smile appeared on his lips.

‘Look at this?’

Next to one name on the friend list, a green light was flashing.
