369. World Story (5)

Led by Shueri, the shaman of the Second World, numerous users are forming a large formation, weapons in hand, to protect Shueri.

They now have a world-class quest.

A quest given by Shueri, the shaman of the Second World.

The quest is simple.

Storm the black market auction house in Yggdrasil and rescue the elf sisters, Elyusia and Armia.

The problem is that the auction house is guarded by the goddamn Munchkin Cat Guild.

Among the TOP10 guilds in LORE, they have the fewest members, yet their achievements are so numerous that it’s hard to believe they were accomplished in such a short period.

Among them, Arang possesses overwhelming physical abilities in LORE.

Arang’s parrying scenes still leave people speechless.

However, the users attempting to raid the auction house this time were also confident in their LORE skills.

The Second World was originally the world of the Asian server. Although it was called the Asian server, most users, to the point where everyone called it the Chinese server, were Chinese.

Currently, Shueri, the shaman of the Second World and known as the Saintess in LORE, is also a Chinese user.

Originally operating alone, Shueri realized that she couldn’t rescue the elf sisters with her own strength and asked for help.

The help came from the Reverse Guild, composed solely of Chinese users.

The Reverse Guild, the only Chinese guild in the LORE TOP10, is different from other Chinese guilds, consisting only of truly mannered Chinese players.

While most Chinese users in this world lack manners, the Reverse Guild is composed of Chinese players who genuinely love the game, adore LORE, and possess excellent skills.

Shueri’s existence is a point of pride for Chinese users.

In PVP, Americans generally excel in physical abilities, while the British have consistently shown overwhelming strategies in raids.

Before the world integration, there were no famous Chinese users in LORE, but Shueri became well-known as the Saintess.

Eventually, she became a shaman and received the special job of Saintess, further amplifying her influence.

The job of Saintess opposing the Demon King Arang is incredibly cool, and Shueri is truly seen as a saintess by Chinese users.

Such a Shueri came to ask for help with a world-class quest.

This was a great opportunity for the Reverse Guild.

A chance to gain justification for fighting the Munchkin Cat Guild and the reputation of defeating the Demon King Arang.

The Reverse Guild knows that this quest won’t be an easy success.

Demon King Arang.

Also known as the Heavenly Demon in China, Arang is beyond heaven to Chinese users.

Users with ambiguous skills, residing on the peak of ignorance, dismiss Arang as just a user who performs well because he receives boss stats from the system.

But the top-tier users, those who have directly faced Arang in war events, know.

Why Arang is called the Heavenly Demon.

Stats don’t inherently increase physical abilities.

Even if stats increase, it’s still a human controlling them.

To defeat the Heavenly Demon Arang, the Demon King Arang, the Reverse Guild members prepared harder than ever.

Fighting with just the Reverse Guild members would offer no chance of victory, but the current situation, with the addition of the Saintess job, is different.

==

To defeat the NPC forces that the Munchkin Cat Guild guards and dominates in the underworld, there is only one best method.

Targeting the time when Arang isn’t present.

They now know that Arang can access the virtual world 24 hours a day thanks to the access device he uses, but no one can play games 24 hours a day.

Eventually, people need to sleep.

Even if it seems underhanded, it can’t be helped.

The best way to fight Arang is to simply not engage him.

And a way to know that has emerged. It’s Shueri.

Shueri is friends with Arang in LORE. Not friends in a human relationship, but as users within the system.

Being systemically friends in LORE allows you to know various things.

You can basically see if they are online or offline and even their approximate location.

Of course, if the user marks that part as do-not-disturb, you can’t check it.

But Arang doesn’t really care about such things and always leaves it in the default state, so Shueri could perfectly grasp Arang’s status through her LORE friend list.

And now.

Having confirmed that Arang has logged out, the Reverse Guild quietly began approaching the auction house.

With Arang gone, the two most cautious figures are:

First, BellyCover, who is the number one assassin despite being female with high physical abilities, and the Crow NPC who dominates the underworld thanks to Arang.

Of course, all the Munchkin Cat Guild members are users with high physical abilities, but not as much as Arang and BellyCover.

The Reverse Guild Leader approached the auction house as closely as possible and spoke through the guild chat.

,Our goal isn’t annihilation, but rescuing the elves. Killing them to make them respawn would be ideal, but it will be quite difficult. Our goal, I repeat, is not killing, but rescuing. If you judge someone to be stronger than you, don’t push it and buy as much time as possible. Understand?”

,,Yes!””

,,And check the Saintess-nim’s buff time as much as possible, and if there’s about 1 minute left, be sure to come to the Saintess-nim to renew the buff. Good. Everyone reconfirm your roles and charge in 3 minutes.”

,,Understood.””

The Reverse Guild Leader checked his unique item equipment and spoke as soon as 3 minutes had passed.

,,Begin operation.”

==

,,Are these guys crazy?!”

BellyCover quickly rushed to the auction house after seeing the urgent notification in the guild talk room.

BellyCover tried to quickly deal with the user in front of him, but as soon as a holy light emanated and protected the user, he realized that the attacker was the Saintess.

,,Then… you must have come prepared!”

BellyCover drew upon the power of Disnear, despair.

,,It’s a goblin!!!”

With the appearance of [Arang’s BellyCover], the minion of the Demon King and holder of the title of LORE’s greatest pervert, the debuffer-related jobs among the Reverse Guild members moved quickly.

Since the strategy for BellyCover had already been thoroughly planned, a tanker knight specializing in party protection and an enchanter specializing in debuffs rushed towards BellyCover.

And the most important warrior was also there.

,,They’re totally committed, huh?”

BellyCover, having been through numerous battlefields, completely understood how the Reverse Guild in front of him would try to attack him.

The knight, enchanter, warrior combination is quite famous even on the battlefield.

This combination, lacking a pure dealer, is designed to perfectly snipe a specific user.

It’s a combination that doesn’t kill the targeted user, but rather incapacitates them.

The enchanter relentlessly pours debuffs on the targeted individual, the knight protects the enchanter with shielding skills, and the warrior uses binding skills to prevent the target from escaping a certain range.

The reason why this combination is overpowered is that even if the knight, enchanter, and warrior have low skills, the operational difficulty of this combination is quite easy, allowing an otherwise ordinary user to tie down a very strong user.

Of course, this combination isn’t impossible to break.

Eventually, the cooldowns won’t align, creating openings, but.

The problem is that there aren’t just one knight, enchanter, and warrior in front of BellyCover, but multiple.

In short, the arrangement clearly showed that if they committed to tying down just BellyCover, they could succeed in this quest.

==

,,Keuk…! I’m sorry, Arang-nim.”

The Crow NPC was clearly defeated by the Reverse Guild Leader and guild members in front of him.

Having thoroughly learned the structure of the auction house through the broadcasts of Arang, Yesol, and the other Munchkin Cat Guild members, the Reverse Guild Leader reached the basement with a perfect plan.

The Crow NPC tried to stop the Reverse Guild Leader, but couldn’t due to the unique equipment and the Saintess’s buff, and collapsed.

He wanted to protect this basement even at the cost of his life, but the Crow NPC, having been ordered by Arang not to die no matter what, used a return scroll and disappeared from the basement.

,,Good. The elves should be here. Quickly rescue the elves and leave before Arang hears the news and logs into LORE.”

The Reverse Guild Leader opened the basement door and checked on the elf sisters.

,,Were there three elf sisters?”

Seeing a woman who looked like an elf and two women who appeared to be her younger sisters hugging the white elf, the Reverse Guild Leader tilted his head, about to recheck the information given by the Saintess Shueri, when.

,,Who are you.”

A familiar voice was heard.

The Reverse Guild Leader, recognizing the familiar voice, shifted his gaze from the interface to identify the owner of the voice.

Arang, who should have been logged out and gone, was standing in front of him.

Arang being punished.
