Faction War

“Wow…”

I already knew this information from Snow Mage-nim, but I didn’t expect that I would get 50 times more points than regular users.

“How many points did you get?”

“50 points.”

“Waaah!”

Snow Mage-nim, upon hearing my answer, rejoiced as if she had earned the points herself.

Perhaps remembering what happened with Melvin, she wildly swung her staff in the air.

“Do the rankers lose points when they die?”

“Yes, that’s right. I lose between 50 and 60 points every time I die.”

I turned on the Honor Ranking system and checked the rankers on the human side.

They used to look like Time Bill Gates to me, but now they looked like delicious piggy banks.

I saw the possibility of becoming the Commander-in-Chief.

With this method, it was definitely possible.

“Snow-nim, will you stay here?”

“Yes, it’s hard to find the rankers, and there’s no guarantee that I’ll catch them.”

“Hmm…”

I nodded. I thought I could get a pretty good assistant, but she didn’t seem to want to move.

“Still, please contact me if Melvin shows up again.”

“Yes!”

After parting ways with Snow Mage-nim, the first thing I started doing was figuring out the information of the users who had their nicknames on the ranking page.

I wanted to check their equipment and jobs to aim for a more certain kill.

The guy I had to keep the most cautious eye on was, of course, Melvin, who had the job of Shinobi.

Shinobi.

I felt it while fighting him, but it was a really annoying job.

He didn’t have any sure-fire damage skills, but his utility performance was too good.

First, the skill [Substitution].

It was a charging-type evasion skill that could be activated while being hit.

The maximum number of charges was 2, and the cooldown was quite long.

The next skill was [Clone], befitting the name Shinobi.

This was also a charging-type skill, with a maximum of 2 charges.

When used, it leaves a clone in stealth at that spot, and the main body can hide its appearance.

I and Snow Mage-nim were able to withstand the combined attack thanks to all those skills.

The moment I tried to attack, he used Substitution or laid down a Clone to induce an opening.

Even aside from that, his skills were quite good, so he was no pushover.

I mentally set Melvin’s risk level high.

Hell is an excessively large area to wander around alone.

But I had many guild members and even more alliance members.

When I said I wanted the locations of the honor rankers on the human side, a lot of coordinates were sent.

It was the beginning of a full-fledged honor ranker hunt.

I ran and ran and ran again with my Colt Horse.

The moment I arrived at the coordinates sent by a guild member after running so hard, I could spot a cruel killer from afar, stabbing a knife into the chest of an innocent demon user.

His job was Paladin, the higher job of a Holy Knight.

The thumping movements that emitted light made the viewer feel intimidated.

But I don’t give up. I don’t ignore it. If I leave him alone like that, the damage to the poor demon race will be even greater.

I start driving the Colt Horse and increasing its speed.

I use doping potions again to prepare for the fight, and jump off as soon as the distance gets closer.

It was then that the Paladin user turned his body. As if he had finally noticed my approach, he started to cover his body with huge shields.

Kaang!

I swing my sword and hit the shield.

With a powerful shockwave, the sword is pushed back.

The Paladin, with his heavy weight and solid defense, did not back down even with my attack.

But it doesn’t matter. I had the job of Berserker.

Berserkers had a passive of defense-ignoring damage.

In other words, no matter how much he held up his shield and blocked the attack, his health would steadily decrease.

[Berserk]

I use the Berserk skill and use the increased attack speed to relentlessly push forward.

I don’t give the opponent a chance to move.

As the huge magic sword continued to pound on the opponent’s shield, he slowly began to be pushed back.

How long had it been? The Paladin user eventually collapsed.

Honor Points +20

I got fewer points than I thought.

It seemed that the points I could get differed depending on the points the opponent had.

The opponent I killed this time was a user who was ranked 13th in the Honor Ranking.

To accumulate points faster, I had to defeat users with higher rankings than these small fries.

***

It was Sunday.

As a result of continuing the honor ranker hunt during that time, I was able to rise to 3rd place in the honor ranking before the ranking system was settled.

It’s a shame. It was really a shame. If I had a little more time, I could have taken the Commander-in-Chief position.

But what can I do? For now, I had to be satisfied with 3rd place.

At that moment, the ranking system was settled, and a dedicated reward item was delivered through the mailbox.

A dedicated mount, title, and even a faction summons order.

I immediately checked the dedicated mount.

[Hell Wolf]

It’s cool just from the name.

I was even more excited because it was a guy that didn’t appear in Deron that I knew.

“Come out!”

Just like when summoning the Colt Horse, a large magic circle was created in the air.

Immediately after that, a wolf covered in jet-black fur appeared from inside the magic circle.

The proud wolf’s head had horns symbolizing the demon race, and a faint magic power was flashing around its body like lightning.

The Hell Wolf stood aloof.

Deron’s mounts basically don’t reject their owners.

I got on the Hell Wolf.

“Oh…”

The riding experience wasn’t bad.

When I looked at its options, it had the same stats as the Hellfire Colt Horse I used to ride.

Goodbye for now, Hellfire Colt Horse.

I liked this cool wolf.

I was stroking the wolf’s neck while riding it.

A huge shadow approached me.

When I turned my head to see who it was, it was Snow Mage-nim.

[Commander-in-Chief]

[ChewyCow]

[Snow Mage]

Snow Mage-nim was also riding the Commander-in-Chief’s exclusive mount.

Its appearance was similar to the Hell Wolf I was riding, but it looked even bigger because it was wearing combat equipment all over its body.

“Is that a baby wolf?”

“I-It’s a Hell Wolf, though?”

The original size of Snow Mage-nim’s mount and my mount would be similar.

Seeing that they looked similar, it was clear that they used the same modeling.

But mounts are affected by the size of the user.

Of course, just like when I summon the Colt Horse, a foal-sized one comes out, this wolf also showed a very small appearance compared to Snow Mage-nim’s wolf.

Standing side by side, it really looked like a baby wolf.

The surrounding users were also whispering while looking at this scene.

I quickly drove the wolf away from Snow Mage-nim.

If I stayed with her, I would continue to be compared in size.

“Ah! Let’s go together!”

“Don’t follow me!”

I circled around the inside of the village, avoiding Snow Mage-nim’s huge wolf.

Fortunately, Snow Mage-nim seemed to have given up after following me for a bit, and she turned her body and went somewhere else.

I proudly walked around the village, showing off my wolf to the users.

Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off it, as if they were envious of the newly appeared mount.

I was diligently walking around the inside of the village like that.

[The Faction War will begin in 10 minutes.]

A message popped up across the entire server.

The users who checked the message started moving around.

Everyone seemed to be starting their own preparations for the Faction War.

I also had to hurry with my preparations.

Alliance – [Everyone, start making raid parties as prepared.]

Faction War, I had posted a notice a week ago, so the raid parties to prepare for this content were also pre-arranged.

As soon as my order was given, the guild members started joining the raid parties they belonged to.

I also created a raid party and sent invitations to the members.

Since the guild had over 170 members, I had no choice but to split up the guild’s aces.

I was the leader of the first raid party.

Iyap was the leader of the second raid party.

Hwarang took on the third raid party.

Snow Mage-nim took on the last, fourth raid party.

I wanted to entrust Helena with the raid party leader position, but she didn’t want to be separated from me.

It seemed that it was a slightly burdensome position for a middle school student.

Alliance – [Each raid party leader, report the number of members. Fill in any missing members right away.]

Iyap – [2nd raid party, no problems.]

Hwarang – [3rd raid party, one empty spot.]

Snow Mage – [4th raid party, three empty spots.]

Alliance – [Those who don’t have a raid party, apply to the empty raid parties now.]

All preparations were complete. Now, all that was left was to wait for the natural transition to the Faction War map.

[The Faction War will begin.]

Along with the message that appeared in front of me, huge pillars of light soared across the entire Hell.

It was an effect created by the instantaneous movement of numerous users.

The place moved with the light had a terrain that looked exactly like Hell, but the installed facility structures were different.

The basic system was similar to the battlefield. But the map was wider than the battlefield, and the number of participants was also greater.

“ChewyCow 1st raid party, assemble!”

I shouted while riding the wolf.

Now that all the demon race members had been summoned to one place, I had to make sure to take care of our members as much as possible, as there was a huge crowd.

I check the number of raid party members who followed me out to one place.

Fortunately, everyone was present in this spot without exception.

I led the raid party members out of the initial area as is.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th raid parties followed behind me.

The victory condition for the Faction War was simple.

Raise kill points, or occupy or destroy important facilities of the opposing faction scattered throughout each area to raise faction war points.

If you maintain a higher score than the opposing faction until the time runs out, you win.

The operation plan has already been finalized with other guilds belonging to the demon race faction.

Our ChewyCow’s role was to quickly blow up the opponent’s important facilities and patrol the outskirts to delay the enemy’s main force from joining.

“Hayat!”

I shouted vigorously and ran out with the wolf.

“W-Wait a minute!!! Guild Leader-nim!!!”

At that moment, I heard an urgent voice from behind.

I stopped the Hell Wolf in its tracks and turned around.

“Ah…!”

The guild members were running towards me on two feet.

Only then could I realize why the guild members had called me to stop.

Mounts. Yes, the problem is the mounts.

Most of the guild members were not riding mounts.

The Deron of this other world was not the Deron I knew. When playing with a keyboard and mouse, everyone rode their horses and ran out.

The character moved instead of me. That meant I didn’t need riding skills.

But this place was different. Riding skills were required to ride a mount.
