Dawn War

,We move as soon as we get enemy location reports.”

It was very late, a time long past when I should have logged off.

But I couldn’t. It was because of the war with the Exorcist Guild.

The time was pointing to 4 a.m. But the number of Malrang Jjondeuk Cow Guild members logged in didn’t decrease.

Rather, it was continuously increasing even at this hour.

This was because the guild members who were logged into the game were contacting their acquaintances and waking them up.

,There’s an Exorcist party near the Dire Wolf hunting grounds.”

,If it’s that way, Snow-nim must be close. Tell them to leave immediately.”

After crushing Andersen flat in the first raid, the Exorcist Guild no longer tried to fight and scattered.

They were avoiding direct power struggles and trying to wage guerrilla warfare with a small number of people.

I can’t just keep getting beaten.

I granted administrator privileges to the guild members who were hunting even at this hour, and I gave them summons.

It meant that if there was an enemy attack, they should use the summons immediately.

I can’t forcibly control all the guild members. It wasn’t that kind of guild in the first place.

That goes for the Exorcist Guild as well. Some of those who participated in the first raid scattered to do their own thing.

I put out a search for the location of those Exorcist Guild members.

,About 10 people were spotted in the dungeon entrance quest area. The number isn’t accurate. The reporter was a Demon race and died, so…”

,The 1st party is going.”

Answering the guild member’s words, I immediately start moving.

The number of people following me is 40, the full capacity of one party.

10 healers to focus on sitting me, and 20 mages.

The remaining 9 were in a very deformed combination of tanks.

I’ll do the direct power fight. The healers focus their heals on me, and the mages take care of ranged support.

The remaining 9 tanks just have to protect the mages and healers.

When I arrived at the dungeon entrance quest area, there were no Demon race users around.

It’s early in the open. If only the Demon race is not seen in a section where many people should be mixed, there is only one answer.

There is an Exorcist Guild that specializes in hunting Demon race users.

I immediately drew my sword.

According to the report, they were wandering around here.

The channel is the same as well. Unless they moved.

At that time, a user’s figure was caught in my sight.

He was squatting on the floor, diligently collecting large grass.

[National Chicken Association]

[I found it!!!]

[Chickmani]

Perfect timing. He’s a Human race user, but he’s not very interested in the faction system.

I don’t know what he’s doing, but he was the type to pick grass all day even before the server merge.

,Excuse me.”

,Heok…!”

When I spoke to him, the user with the nickname Chickmani was surprised and covered the large grass with his body.

It was like a thief trying to protect his precious treasure.

,Ah, what… You’re from Malrang Jjondeuk Cow.”

As expected, being Korean, there was no way he wouldn’t recognize our guild.

I nodded and asked him.

,Have you seen any Exorcist Guild members?”

,Exorcist? Hmm…”

Unless you pay close attention, it’s not easy to remember other users’ guilds. Moreover, it’s a guild name written in English, not familiar Korean. I needed a more memorable feature description.

,They’re all wearing the same clothes. It’s a blue sacred garment series.”

,Ah, if it’s those people… they went that way.”

Chickmani nodded as if he had just remembered. He reached out and pointed beyond the forest.

It was a section where the pale moonlight ended and dark fog rose, and I had to cross the area.

,Thank you.”

,No, I’m more grateful.”

Chickmani said that and cast his gaze behind me.

I turned my head to follow him, but I couldn’t tell who he was looking at.

Did he help because he knew someone?

,It’s dangerous. Go to another channel.”

I left a final warning and ran into the fog.

As I passed the area brightly lit by the moonlight, a thick fog rose before my eyes.

A place where visibility is limited, and you can’t see far. It was an area that only became frustrating the longer you stayed, but it was a place you had to go through to complete the quest.

,Shout immediately if you find the enemy.”

Walking forward, I awaken all my senses. I plan to fully commit to this war.

I always maintain the searing pain.

Long and thin, exploding the heat only at important moments.

The more I concentrate, the clearer my five senses become.

The rustling footsteps and the sound of the wind, and even the voices coming from a different place than here.

It’s there.

I couldn’t see it, but I was sure.

I led the party members and walked forward.

,Helena. Please accelerate time as soon as you find them.”

,Okay.”

Just as we can’t see their figures, they can’t see ours either.

There’s no sign of a stealthed rogue either. The area was completely empty.

Lowering my posture, I walk carefully.

The party members followed my movements, reducing their presence as much as possible.

How long has it been? Beyond the blurry fog, a hazy movement was caught.

I can’t see the nickname and guild name. But I could see the color of the clothes they were wearing.

Unlike the report of 10 people, the actual number seemed to be more than that.

A cluster of blurry blue wriggles.

No doubt. They’re Exorcists.

,Helena.”

There was no need for long words.

Immediately, black lightning falls from the sky and changes occur in my body.

Feeling the sensation of horns growing longer above my head, I feel sharp claws sprouting from my hands and feet.

Using the awakening skill that enhances the character’s stats.

Immediately after that, the movement of my body begins to accelerate in accordance with the accelerated thinking.

Helena’s time acceleration skill has arrived.

It feels like walking through stopped time. The moment I rushed out quickly, the fog scattered and I could see the opponent’s exact figure.

The eyes of the Exorcist Guild members with surprised expressions are fixed on me.

It feels like a long time, but in reality, it’s only tight.

I desperately swung my sword.

It’s a strike aimed at the vitals. The wildly swung demonic sword spews out jet-black demonic energy and begins to blow off the opponent’s head.

One at a time, no one could withstand a powerful blow.

It doesn’t matter if they’re wearing a solid helmet. No one could withstand two or three attacks.

Chwaaak!

Starting with the last strike, the stopped time begins to move.

The body that was moving quickly is heavy. My body couldn’t keep up with the accelerated thinking to the limit.

,Ah, it’s a demon!”

,It’s a demon’s attack!”

I blew off the heads of five people with the first strike.

Now there are 10 people left. Support attacks from the mage line poured down on them.

Kwaga gagagang!

I’ve already declared war on the entire new area. There was no PVP penalty or anything like that.

,C, Cowardly demons…!”

I look down at the last remaining person with an emotionless gaze.

He was sitting on the floor, looking up at me with trembling eyes.

It’s a game where the value of life is light. There was no Exorcist who would beg me for his life now.

I swing my sword without hesitation and cut off his head.

Chwaak!

I cut down the last user and close my eyes. Other users’ specs have gone up. Now, I can’t overwhelmingly crush them unless I use the awakening skill.

It’s a moment when I desperately need to upgrade my specs.

I look around the auction house and check the market price of transcendence stones.

Quite a bit of time has passed since the acquisition route for the shining transcendence stone was revealed.

It’s not the time when a lot of items are released in the auction house, but there are quite a few that are occasionally uploaded.

But the problem was the price.

At that moment, the items of transcendence stones that were listed in the auction house began to disappear at an incredible speed.

Except for the ridiculously expensive transcendence stones, all the items disappeared.

The moment I confirmed that, I sighed.

It seems that a big whale is clearing out the items of transcendence stones to upgrade his specs.

At that moment, a large exclamation mark appeared in my mailbox.

It meant that a new mail had arrived.

I immediately checked it, thinking it might be a report of the location of an Exorcist Guild member, but it wasn’t.

,Helena…”

It was none other than Helena who sent me the mail.

[I’ll lend it to you]

Sender: Helena

Repay me slowly.

Attached item: [Shining Transcendence Stone x30]

It was a situation where items were slowly being uploaded to the auction house, but the price of each one was not light.

It was a transcendence stone that went up from 300 gold per piece to as much as 700 gold.

There were a whopping 30 of them.

,Get stronger, Yeona.”

Helena’s gaze is hot. She was looking at me with a gaze filled with some kind of desire.

I know. I know what that hot desire in her eyes is. I see, Helena. You also want to end the Exorcist Guild.

I nodded. I was moved by Helena’s heart. My body began to heat up with excitement.

Now that I’ve received the transcendence stones, I had to transcend the item.

I also had to attach a special option to the weapon with the purified moon fragment.

,I’ll go back to the village for a while. I’m going to transcend some items…”

,Guild leader-nim… did you really buy everything that was listed in the auction house…?”

I couldn’t readily answer the guild member’s question.

I didn’t buy it, but as a result, it was as if I had bought it.

It’s not wrong since I borrowed it anyway.

Anyway, I quickly move my position.

After arriving at Solaris Capital, I immediately head to the blacksmith and start transcending the item.

Defense is enough. What I need is attack power. I needed overwhelming attack power.

I slammed 30 transcendence stones and purified moon fragments into the weapon.

The stats granted to the item are increased by 10%.

When all 30 transcendence stones were exhausted, the weapon grew to the maximum grade that could be raised with shining transcendence stones.

I drew my sword and raised it high into the sky.

Transparent winds, the special effect of the ether grade, were swirling around the ominous magic sword.

Exorcists, you’re all dead.

I smiled and stuck the sword behind my back.

The large greatsword quickly shrank.
