Smashing SsingSsing

Monday, and as always, I logged into Deron as soon as school was over.

Now, without even lifting a finger, the number of guild members was increasing on its own.

It seems like Hwarang and Iyap are managing things well after I handed over the administrator privileges.

I immediately started spying on the SsingSsing Guild’s information.

Perhaps because I couldn’t participate in the siege warfare I was looking forward to last weekend, the number of guild members had decreased significantly.

The initial number of nearly 300 members had dropped to 270.

Scanning my mailbox, I found a message from an allied guild with whom we had formed a coalition.

It wasn’t just the [Milky Way] Guild that I had allied with.

[Heavenly Wind] [TurtleReachedTheSea] [Requiem] [Divinity]

These were guilds that had sent separate messages after the siege warfare and formed a coalition.

Except for Requiem, all were moderately successful small to medium-sized guilds, and all had had trouble with the SsingSsing Guild.

If you add up the number of members from these guilds, it comes to nearly 900 people.

Of course, not all members could participate in the underground labyrinth content, so the actual number of people who could be mobilized would be around 700.

This is full-fledged guild competition content. If more content like this is updated in the future, this coalition will be a great strength.

I know that other coalitions besides ours have started to form.

It’s a bit of a shame that I couldn’t attract other guilds.

Rumor has it that the SsingSsing people are also poking around here and there, but perhaps it’s because their past actions are coming back to haunt them. No one wants to join hands with them.

I issue separate orders to the guild members to prepare the items they will use in the underground labyrinth.

I purchased a large quantity of mines and bombs that can be crafted with magical engineering.

This was the good thing about this world. Because there are more users investing in life content than those who enjoy combat, there were many magical engineering items available for sale that were difficult to make.

Compared to the existing world, there was about a tenfold difference.

Magical engineering items don’t have high damage and have long cooldowns.

That’s why not many users use them directly.

But the story changes when it comes to content like the underground labyrinth, where many people gather.

If everyone uses one each, the effect is multiplied.

If dozens of people plant mines in a path, that path can be effectively blocked.

Of course, the story would be different if warrior types with priests’ shields used charge to break through, but at least it could block the approach of rogues who hide with stealth.

I sent each guild member five bombs and mines.

Along with a message saying, “Make sure to buy them with your own money next time.”

As time passed, the promised time approached.

It’s a day without raids. Everyone started entering the underground labyrinth in perfect condition.

As I passed through the portal with the guild members, the whole world was dyed black.

The black stone bricks covering the ceiling, floor, and walls were gleaming.

Each guild’s entry location is random. I quickly unfolded the map.

The underground labyrinth had a square terrain, and as time passed, 12 bosses would respawn clockwise.

If all 12 bosses were defeated, the final boss would respawn at the altar in the center. The best rewards could be obtained from the central boss.

It’s everyone’s first time. There’s no way they would have information about this map. There’s no information about the bosses either.

Only I knew the information.

But there’s something you naturally realize when playing these RPG games.

East, west, south, north, and center.

Guilds with a sense of direction started running towards those areas.

Running along tangled paths befitting the name of a labyrinth.

I calmly watched the situation from the entrance with the guild members.

“Aren’t we going?”

“It’s the same no matter when we go.”

“The same…?”

I shut my mouth, answering Hwarang’s question.

I almost said that I already knew the information about this content.

If I get caught, I won’t see good results. If rumors spread that the operator is backing our guild, our guild will be torn apart by public opinion.

When would be a good time to release the information?

I stroked my lips and slowly started to move.

“Everyone, follow me. Let’s go to the 12 o’clock direction first.”

12 o’clock would be a safe bet.

I said that, but I turn towards 1 o’clock.

It’s a maze anyway. If you wander around unintentionally, you’ll end up somewhere.

The moment we arrived at the 1 o’clock direction, the guild members shook their heads while looking at the map.

They realized they had arrived at the wrong place after checking their location.

But we came to the right place. I glanced at the time.

That’s the moment. A huge magic circle appeared before my eyes, and a giant revealed itself.

[Prisoner Cyclops]

The giant, whose blue skin was covered in hard keratin, had heavy chains attached to its arms and legs.

[Kuweoaaaaaeeooo!]

The boss respawn in the underground prison starts at 1 o’clock.

Once all the bosses that respawn clockwise have been dealt with, you have to run to the center.

If the bosses are dealt with quickly, you have to start running before the 12 o’clock boss is caught.

“Tanks, grab aggro, and dealers, deal damage.”

I didn’t need to tank.

I had to watch the situation from behind, so I stepped back and entrusted everything to the guild members.

After all, the looting rights belonged to the user with the highest authority within the guild.

“About 20 mages, follow me. Yes, from there to there.”

The mages who received my instructions separated.

I started guarding the surroundings with them.

The most vulnerable moment in the underground labyrinth was when raiding a boss.

It becomes a real headache if you get attacked at this time.

But I’m the only one who knows that the boss respawns at 1 o’clock.

Since I had guild members waiting here in advance, even if another guild ran here as quickly as possible, they wouldn’t be able to steal the looting rights.

The boss’s health starts to decrease rapidly.

When the boss’s health was at 20%, a new boss respawned in the 2 o’clock direction.

The boss’s location is displayed on the map in real time, along with its health.

The people who were running towards 1 o’clock must have desperately changed direction towards 2 o’clock.

“Since leechers might rush in, beat down all the users you see around you.”

I drew my sword and said to the mages.

Users who were watching our every move were gathering around us one by one.

They were users who came to snipe the boss’s last hit, or simply to watch.

But I can’t tell them apart. I had to cut off the heads of everyone I saw.

As I drew the holy sword wrapped in sunlight and glared at the users with a terrifying gaze, they slowly began to back away.

Of course, I stabbed those who didn’t back down.

How long has it been? Information about drop items suddenly appeared before my eyes.

[Guild Funds Gold Pouch 1,000X3]

[Hellfire Warhorse Summon Scroll of the SoulX1]

[Ring of the Underground Labyrinth]

The drop items were amazing from the start.

The Ring of the Underground Labyrinth was a PVP-only accessory with amazing stats for player-versus-player combat.

Among them, what caught my eye was the Hellfire Warhorse Summon Scroll.

Deron also has a mount system. But until now, the only things you could ride were brown dung horses commonly found in the capital city, or very small donkeys.

Their speed wasn’t that fast either.

In addition, it also required real-world riding skills, so not many users actually rode horses.

Since the world is different, it didn’t seem like I could get a good price for it.

The health of the boss that respawned at 2 o’clock starts to decrease.

If we ran from now, we could snipe the last hit or use aggro reset to get it, but I didn’t feel like doing that.

I quickly sent a message to the coalition guild leaders.

Alliance-[It seems like bosses are respawning clockwise from 1 o’clock. We’re running to 3 o’clock.]

Those who are quick-witted would have noticed by now.

Time is money. I had to move quickly.

“Run to 3 o’clock!”

I start running, leading the guild members.

It’s the first day the new content is open. All the guilds, regardless of whether they are herbivore or carnivore types, were tangled up and struggling.

I quickly ran forward, cutting down all the guys who were getting in my way.

This was to receive the effect of the Highlander skill’s winning streak.

There were some users who got angry, asking why I was killing them right before they died.

But I didn’t answer. It’s like this here anyway. It was their will to set foot in the PVP area.

After dying a few more times, they won’t get angry and won’t even set foot here.

I don’t expect understanding, and I don’t try to understand.

It was just tiring to start arguing with those people.

The moment I arrived at the 3 o’clock direction, there were already many users gathered.

It wasn’t just one guild gathered. The unorganized users who had entered this place were just standing there, watching each other’s every move.

Should I kill them? I have to kill them. If I only think about the benefits of our guild, that’s the right decision.

While I was pondering for a moment, another guild group followed behind me.

They flinched for a moment when they found us, but they didn’t back down.

[SquirrelThunder]

While collecting information about various guilds, I also obtained information about the [SquirrelThunder] Guild.

Those guys were a so-called ‘gallery guild’ created by users of the Deron Online Gallery.

There were several other gallery guilds, but those guys were the ones who built the largest force.

I signaled the guild members to stand by, and then slung the holy sword over my shoulder.

I already knew what my image was like in the gallery.

It was a kind of showmanship.

“Are you going to take 3 o’clock?”

When I asked the person standing at the front, he opened his mouth and answered.

“Yes, maybe Yeon-nim too?”

I scanned the SquirrelThunder guild members with a light gaze.

Most of them were macho-like weirdos, so I didn’t know what they would do.

It was right to give up the spot here rather than clash.

There was no need to get my hands dirty.

These guys will take the blame instead.

Our guild still needed image management.

At least until we crush the SsingSsing Guild.

“No. We’re going somewhere else.”

“Oh…”

The man at the front nodded in admiration.

He immediately signaled the guild members standing behind him and started running towards the users who were waiting at the 3 o’clock boss respawn spot and ramming into them.

As I watched the skill effects bouncing around, countless weak guild users began to be swept away at once.

It’s already been a lot of time. Bosses had respawned up to 6 o’clock.

Yeon-[Is there anywhere you need help?]

I didn’t hear back from the alliance. It seemed like they were all settled in and raiding bosses.

So I turned around and started running with the guild members.

If I had bought an ordinary dung horse, I could have caught four more… At this speed, it seemed like three was the limit, no matter how hard I tried.

While running hard like that, I was able to find the SsingSsing Guild members.

The place they were hunting was the 8 o’clock area.

There were nearly 200 people. But they were preoccupied with the boss.

I had the guild members wait at the street corner while I watched the situation.

“Ranged and rogue types, melt the healer line first. Don’t go in too deep, just cut off the healer line. If they don’t get healing, the tanks will die to the boss, so the front line will collapse on its own. Then we go in.”

I exchanged glances with the guild members.

These are the people I recruited myself. They weren’t lacking.

I don’t know the people who came in later well, but at least they won’t be disappointing.

“Plant mines in the path while entering the boss room. We have to prevent the guys who resurrect and rejoin from entering.”

I watch the situation like that. I was going to move if the SsingSsing people reduced the boss’s health to less than 50%.

While watching the situation, the moment I was waiting for arrived.

“Let’s go in. Don’t shout, go in quickly.”

I don’t bother hiding the sound of my footsteps. Everyone moves quickly and plants mines in the path.

The cooldown is long, but when nearly 100 people plant mines, they can completely block the narrow path.

“Attack.”

The moment my order fell, brilliant magic poured down on the healer line of the SsingSsing Guild, who were fighting the giant cyclops.

Huge fireballs fell, and frost-like blizzards raged.

The healer line, which was gathered in a circle in one place, was swept away in an instant.

The SsingSsing Guild, who were focused on the boss, seemed to finally notice our appearance and started screaming and shouting.

“MalangCow!”

“Those crazy bastards are here!”

“It’s a middle school girl!”

They take out their weapons and confront us. There are nearly 200 people. We’ll be torn apart the moment we go in.

But the opponent has lost their healer line.

Since there were no healers to withstand the boss’s attacks, their tank line began to be torn apart.

“Surround them so they can’t escape. If we just stall for time, we’ll win.”

In front is MalangJjondeukCow, and behind is the giant boss Cyclops.

SsingSsing melted away like that, unable to do anything.

The moment all the people were dealt with, the cyclops’s red gaze turned towards us.

The boss’s remaining health was 30%.

“Let’s do it like before. 20 mages, follow me.”

The tanks in the guild started to draw aggro and proceed with the boss raid.

I guarded the path leading into the boss room with the mages.

They’ve already reduced a lot of health. It would be a shame to give up.

As I expected, SsingSsing reorganized their people and started running towards this place again.

I smiled as I saw the SsingSsing guild mark from afar.

At that moment, drop items appeared before my eyes.

[Guild Funds Gold Pouch 1,000X3]

[Necklace of the Underground Labyrinth]

“Everyone, use your return stones.”

“Huh?”

“No, suddenly a return?”

“I’m saying use your return stones and re-enter. That will be faster.”

I explained to Hwarang and the guild members who were asking in bewilderment and drew my sword.

Then Helena approached and asked.

“Aren’t you going, Yeon?”

“I’m going to lure them.”

SsingSsing must hate me very much.

If I’m standing here alone, won’t they just run towards me without a boss?

The guild members who understood my plan nodded and started using their return stones.

The moment everyone had left, I openly started using my return stone in front of the path where the SsingSsing Guild could be seen.

“Kill that bastard!”

A man with a red face drew his sword and started running towards me.

Seeing how incredibly fast he was, it seemed like he had used a charge skill.

But that man, along with the other users who were following him, was swept away by a huge explosion.

He had set foot on a path with over a hundred mines planted.

When the explosion effect disappeared, about 30 people who had run out earlier were rolling on the floor as corpses.

The last thing I saw before the return stone activated was the face of a priest standing there hesitantly.

For some reason, he looked familiar, but he was the user who had all his equipment taken away by me last time.
