Subjugation Battle (3) But With a Side of Collision

The first end-content subjugation battle since the server merge.

Naturally, many people were interested, and there was much discussion about which guild would achieve First Clear (FC).

Among them, there was much debate over whether the Mead Guild or the ArangArang Guild would achieve FC.

No matter how much the ArangArang Guild achieved WFK in this raid, people thought it was just lucky that the concept allowed them to best utilize the Clash and Parry systems.

Moreover, since the guild has a small number of members, if the classes they are currently operating are not suited to the concept and their efficiency is not good, FC will be difficult.

While various communities were holding a “galdeuk-cup” (trash talk competition) and fighting fiercely, they flocked to the Mead Guild’s FC member reveal broadcast and were shocked.

The alliance of the Mead Guild and the ArangArang Guild.

They say they will only operate like this for this subjugation battle, but suddenly an alliance between rivals?

Arang’s overwhelming physical abilities combined with Reina’s high brainpower, leadership, and overall stats, along with the Mead Guild members, make them the guild closest to FC in anyone’s eyes.

The day of the subjugation battle update.

Reina’s FC broadcast started, and countless viewers gathered to see Reina and Arang-i.

The first thing that catches the eye is, of course, the boss of this subjugation battle.

A boss with a 3M-sized black body. Large horns and a large tail. The face is so smooth that some would call it a jet-black egg.

The Mead and ArangArang alliance guild, having already completed pre-coordination, immediately began their try.

???

Rly? Is this right?

ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Correct

[What the hell has to happen for the Mead and Arang Guilds to ally?]

My head was just a question mark the moment I saw that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

With Reina’s guild management and Gallery Master’s (Arang’s) physical abilities, there’s no way they can’t FC ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Comments]

But seriously, why did they become an alliance guild?

ㄴI saw on Reddit that Reina likes Arang-i a lot?

ㄴIs there anyone who doesn’t like Arang-i? I’m genuinely curious

ㄴThat’s true ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[FC Race has started.]

This time, Kang Han-gil is doing it separately, so you have to go to Reina’s broadcast from the Mead Guild, not Kang Han-gil’s broadcast

Go with this ㄱㄱ

I was thinking about which guild would FC this time, but this is a confirmed FC ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴIf this place doesn’t FC, who will ㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴDuring the last Abyss Raid, the skill difference was too big except for ArangArang and Mead

Let’s goooo

Arang-ah fighting!

ㄴLet’s go for FC again this time!

As expected, the Mead Guild is the Mead Guild?

The system itself is on a different level when it comes to trying.

When we did the Abyss Raid with the ArangArang Guild, we just ended up discussing how to break through the gimmicks each time we tried, what mistakes were made in this part, or what parts were more beneficial.

But the site that the Mead Guild is operating is so good.

In the video shown on the broadcast, the actions and gimmicks of the boss in front are partially recorded, and it is recorded what actions are taken in a few seconds, so it is possible to identify whether it is repetitive or random.

On top of that, you can even take notes, so mistakes are reduced and memory becomes certain.

The last raid was just about talking about the gimmicks and discussing them, but this time, the Mead Guild’s try is running like a systematic system, so studying has become certain.

This is the strongest Mead Guild that has achieved 4 consecutive WFKs.

But the ArangArang Guild is the one that beat that guild! Of course, I admit that I was very lucky.

However, I am a person who thinks that luck is also a skill.

“Arang-ah!”

I erased the distracting thoughts that briefly occupied my mind due to the boss’s gimmick approaching me and immediately switched my focus.

I deliberately took the black orb debuff from the boss that reached me right away.

This subjugation battle is quite heterogeneous.

A boss with a black draconian concept made of black liquid. Appearing from space and showing that it is an unknown existence, the concept of the subjugation battle itself was also unknown.

The first time I saw the gimmicks, the first time I saw the concept, and the first time I felt the atmosphere, I felt like, ‘What the heck is this?’

I thought that the subjugation battle applied to the faction war was just a warm-up before a new siege, but it was completely different.

This is just called a subjugation battle, but it was as difficult as a raid.

The concept this time seems to be buff and debuff management.

The reason I’m saying “seems to be” uncertainly is because I’ve only reduced the boss’s health to 80% so far.

“I’ll move.”

I stepped back slightly from the black orb debuff that reappeared in my sight.

As I stepped back, a guild member came in front of me and took the black orb debuff.

Starting with the boss’s health at 85%, not long after, the boss used a wipe skill, and the guild exploded again and returned to the starting point.

“Hmm…”

Reina closed her eyes and fell into thought, and everyone except me started checking the videos they had just recorded, and I confidently lay down and thought.

The underground cave from the last Abyss Raid felt somehow stuffy, but this place is a vast plain, so it was cool.

A gentle breeze, a pleasantly cool energy rising from the floor. But I don’t feel as good as usual.

I expected it because of this subjugation battle period, but I can feel that the period is slowly approaching directly from my body condition.

I’m trying not to show it, but my original tension isn’t coming out, and Arang-i’s emotions are nibbling away at my emotional share.

I don’t want to worry the people around me, so I’m not saying anything.

The only good thing is that it hasn’t started yet, but considering my current physical condition, it’s definitely going to burst this week.

My goal right now is to finish this subjugation battle with FC before my period starts.

To do that, I need even sharper brainpower and overwhelming physical abilities than usual.

“Everyone, let’s gather.”

At Reina’s words, everyone started discussing what they had learned and thought while watching the videos they had recorded, and how to deal with the gimmicks.

If the last Abyss Raid was focused on physical abilities regarding gimmicks, this subjugation battle is about brainpower, but so far, I don’t know anything at all.

A debuff appears. So I try something. But it explodes? Buff, debuff, wipe without even knowing the question. Is it because this keeps repeating? Stress is building up little by little.

In the Abyss Raid, the gimmick was to just block and fight everything related to the boss, so there wasn’t much to worry about.

‘Those times were comfortable.’

“First of all, it doesn’t seem like we can solve it by taking turns receiving the debuff. Let’s have one person keep receiving the debuff.”

Reina listened to everyone’s stories and chose the method that seemed the best, which was to have one person receive all the debuffs that the boss casts.

“Then who will receive it? It seems quite tricky.”

“That’s the problem…”

The debuff that the boss casts contained the worst debuffs, to the extent that it could be called the end-all be-all of debuffs.

It’s the vision reduction debuff and the increased damage taken debuff.

When I got hit once earlier, it felt like the brightness in the game had decreased by 10%.

One is okay, but if I get hit about 4 times, I won’t be able to play normally.

But if we start sharing the debuff among the guild members, a wipe pattern comes out, so we decided to try it as Reina said.

The problem is who will receive all those debuffs.

Reina’s eyes naturally turned to me.

I didn’t say it, but I realized that Reina was thinking of me.

“Arang-ah, are you okay with it?”

“Yeah, I’ll try receiving them all.”

Even I think it’s certain that I should receive them. Why? Because I have the best physical abilities here!

After making one last adjustment, I intentionally took the debuffs that the boss threw as I had adjusted earlier in the retry that started once again.

The first debuff, the second debuff, I started taking the debuffs that the boss threw one after another.

The problem started from the 4th debuff.

The vision that darkened by 10% darkened sharply from the 4th debuff, and the vision started to narrow.

Now it was even difficult to identify the black orb debuff that the boss was throwing, but with my physical abilities, this is okay.

It felt like I was awakening the senses that were resting one by one.

It felt like I was awakening the sleeping brain cells one by one.

I activated extrasensory perception.

Extrasensory perception basically relied on sight, but now sight is unnecessary.

I awakened the body’s senses that even the system itself felt to the maximum, and I remembered and identified the feeling of the black orb debuff that the boss was throwing, the wind, and all the signs.

By the time I received the 5th and 6th debuffs, my vision itself had already disappeared.

The feeling of not only having no arms and legs but also losing sight was somehow strange.

‘Extrasensory perception alone is not enough.’

Not being able to see was more uncomfortable and scary than I thought.

The black orb is not thrown very fast and comes slowly, so I can fully identify it and run to that place.

No matter how much extrasensory perception I have, I couldn’t grasp everything without vision, and in the process, a collision occurred with other guild members.

“Eeyat!?”

“Keuek!?”

I couldn’t see, but the thick male voice that I heard from above was Echo, whom I had told about Soma before.

Echo was focused on dealing damage to the boss, and I was running only towards the debuff, so a collision occurred, and I fell to the floor with Echo.

==

Due to Arang-i’s full-speed collision with completely disappeared vision, Echo fell to the floor with Arang-i, creating a posture as if Echo was covering Arang-i.

It was an unavoidable situation in a tense situation, but the sight of a burly and large man covering a small and cute Arang-i was bound to cause anger as a viewer who likes Arang-i.

-That bastard!?

-Kill that son of a bitch!

-Hey you ss

-What the fuck

-Echo, are you crazy!
