Chapter 244
Sword clashed against sword.
Most of the guild members of Supreme Lord are warriors.
The performance is decent, but they say assassins give too much of a headache.
Mechanics are complicated and dislike them. That is, they say it's a headache.
Mages' attacks mostly require casting rather than being instant, activating a bit later at the designated spot, so you have to predict. That is, they say it's a headache.
Gunners are flashy like assassins. A headache.
Warriors?
They're romantic.
Honestly, that one line was enough for them to play warriors.
Even if it gave them a headache, they would have played warriors.
Because it's their taste.
So Seojun said to Heukwolgeomje, who charged with a greatsword.
"Do you know about Dun swords?"
"No, I don't."
"Then let me show you."
Seojun smiled and took his stance.
He takes in the opponent's movements with his eyes.
Assesses their level.
Observes their habits.
Unstoppable.
A state where no slow or stun affects him and he can continue moving at the same speed.
The important point here is that effects other than CC are applied.
So Seojun had enough chance to win. Even if the opponent had support.
If there were no support, he would have just won unconditionally.
'A beginner is just a beginner.'
Just as the greatsword and longsword were about to clash from above to below and below to above, Seojun's sword twisted and slipped sideways, and the opponent's skill came straight down and struck the ground.
They then use their next skill.
The sword strike flew with an effect to chip away at Seojun's health.
Seojun dodged and deflected, enduring.
And.
It didn't take long.
Seojun's movements subtly shifted.
Right after, Seojun's sword caught next to the handle of Heukwolgeomje's sword.
The skill was deflected.
But Heukwolgeomje sneered as if it was nothing.
"Hahaha! It won't work!"
The reason was simple.
Even if Seojun's sword pushed further in the same direction, the sword actually wasn't pushed.
That further advancement of the attack is also a CC. Though a neutralization effect might be applied, it can never disturb his center of gravity.
"Because I'm a commander?"
The skill unfolded as Heukwolgeomje had originally thought, and he saw Seojun, who had pulled his arm back to the side to unleash a double slash.
Now he just has to dodge.
By stepping slightly backward.
Or leaning to the side.
Or twisting his body.
It was such a simple sword path, and of course, it was a sufficient skill against an enemy who had been deflected and was standing still.
'Can't you see the commander mark above my head?'
Now, it was such a pathetic move that even the slight tension earlier felt like a waste.
Maybe he doesn't even know the system.
Yes.
A twist.
That was the moment he thought.
His body shook.
His foot rolled momentarily to catch his balance.
He stepped wrongly on the ground. He was startled.
He went further back than the spot he instinctively meant to step on.
After that brief moment passed and he came to his senses.
Whoosh.
The double slash was approaching right before his eyes.
'This...'
He can't dodge.
Swish!
His health decreases.
Because the additional damage state from neutralization couldn't be removed with Unstoppable, it was enough to kill him soon.
"You're lucky, you."
Heukwolgeomje judged it that way.
"I told you, it's a Dun sword."
"Hehe. What is a Dun sword...?"
Swish!
"First, go back and think about it comfortably."
'No manners...'
Seojun's follow-up attack, which had been prepared to hit instead of being dodged, removed his last remaining health.
Because it happened in an instant, a few support players who had been above came down late.
'Tsk... He died by mistake. The supports shouldn't come down.'
Watching the final scene through a black-and-white screen, Heukwolgeomje thought in the darkened view.
He was just unlucky.
Of course, he's a great expert who lightly dodged all the skills, but in the end, wasn't it his own mistake?
'When I revive, I need to tell the situation quickly.'
In the end, the south will be pushed. Since he died and the supports have temporarily left.
Even so, Heukwolgeomje wasn't worried.
With skills surpassing anyone, he had dodged and deflected his attacks.
That meant the opponent was completely above.
But, because he considered the mistake that decided the outcome as just a mistake.
'I'll block from behind. Together. That'll work.'
All this misjudgment stemmed from Heukwolgeomje's obvious common sense that even that mistake couldn't be induced.
He didn't properly recognize that if Seojun had a skill with a high coefficient of another class, he would have died in one hit, but because he was a beginner, he had to hit one more tick.
Nevertheless, he didn't properly realize that he had been overwhelmingly killing until now.
So when the guild master asked about the situation as soon as he revived,
[Brother. He really has much better physical skills, on a whole different level. What, pro level? About that? But if we gather, we can definitely stop him. And he doesn't seem to have any idea about the Lord.]
He replied like this.
* * *
'Looks like he wasn't the Lord.'
When his health dropped, he didn't seem particularly flustered.
Seojun soon tried to move to the eastern wall but stopped.
'At this rate, this side will be pushed anyway. Then the entire front line will be pulled back on its own. It would be better to not move and help here to pull the front line deeper, faster.'
Even if we're aiming for the Lord, that'll be more convenient.
The front line changes from a large circle to gradually smaller concentric circles.
Seojun took care of the supports that came down, then went up the wall and started pushing.
"The opponent will gradually pull back, so minimize deaths thinking about that, and when they start retreating, come in all at once."
If done well, we can push the front line at once.
In a siege, it's a common situation when one side is pushed, so everyone is familiar.
As much as that, the opponent would also be adept at moving back without dying as much as possible to maintain the front line.
In the end, it's a battle of skill.
Swish!
When Seojun appeared from behind and started attacking the south members, the enemies chose to retreat instead of fighting.
Each death is critical.
But if they retreat like this and get into position again?
The defender spawn point is the center, and the attacker's is outside the castle.
The structure favors the defenders the more they are pushed back, so it's too early to be happy about pushing now.
In the end, what we must aim for is the target point.
'Or the Lord.'
* * *
When the defenders are pushed, the battle naturally turns into urban warfare.
But urban warfare doesn't favor the defenders because you can't hide inside buildings, and the goal is to prevent entry into the point.
"Above! The top is empty! Fill it!"
"Break through!"
The wide street like a marketplace is filled with people, and those trying to flank and attack and those trying to stop them are fighting on the rooftops as well.
It's PVP where if you die, you respawn to fill, and if you kill, you push the front line one step forward.
What's important here is the quick deployment of personnel to fill the gaps.
And individuals fighting well.
Seojun looked down at the entire fight from the rooftop.
'If I pushed down there?'
Three commanders were following Seojun to where he was.
They had the mindset that even without commanders, if they just stop Seojun, they win.
In fact, because they had spread out the commanders, Seojun had pushed and come almost right in front.
But three commanders gathered, and Seojun had gone up to the rooftop and was watching with his hands behind his back.
So far, the only commander confirmed not to be the Lord by killing was Heukwolgeomje.
He killed him three times.
About 15 minutes had passed, so half remained, and the opponent had to block that half right in front of their nose.
But was it because the commanders gathered? They looked confident.
'Even though one of them is the Lord.'
Seojun chuckled.
Because he was in a state of certainty.
Their eyes.
They tried hard to pretend otherwise, but by the tilt of their bodies and the frequency of their gazes, you could tell they were paying attention to one person.
That person was.
'Poppi Papa, who nurtures a private equity fund.'
He said that. That he nurtures a private equity fund.
I didn't bother to ask if he was raising a Samoyed instead.
Anyway, the guts to put the guild master and commander as the Lord was impressive. To the point of admiration.
It meant he didn't become server rank 1 for nothing.
But the more Seojun acknowledged the opponent, the more meticulous he became.
"Now we should slowly finish."
"Hehe, how do you plan to finish?"
"A sword emperor talking back?"
"Urk!"
"You've already died three times."
"That's why I'm not talking back, isn't it!"
"You still don't know what a Dun sword is, right?"
"Ah. Maybe?"
Heukwolgeomje had also suffered three times, so he could realize that his mistake wasn't just a mistake.
That the opponent had done something.
But what on earth is a Dun sword?
"A Dun sword, you say. It's like this."
As soon as he finished talking, Seojun went down below. Precisely, he jumped down.
Heukwolgeomje and Pacheondohwang, who had been keeping Seojun in check from above, also moved. Hurriedly.
That's because Poppi Papa was at the spot where Seojun jumped down.
'It must be because he's the Lord.'
As soon as he landed, Seojun gave an order to the gamers around.
"Mages, 2 seconds later, at the spot I told you about, please do as I said!"
Among the 15 team members fighting below, there were about three or four mages.
And that much was enough.
[Yes!]
[Confirmed!]
"Let's catch him, brother!"
"He finally came down, down below!"
While Seojun approached Poppi Papa, the voices of two commanders from behind were heard, but their flustered tone was evident, so Seojun laughed.
Loudly.
And Poppi Papa also spotted Seojun, laughed loudly, and swung his greatsword.
He is also a warrior.
"We finally clash! Sword God!"
Poppi Papa wasn't flustered at all even when the situation suddenly changed.
He must be most confident in his own skills. From what I heard, Poppi Papa's spending power is second in the guild, so he's not the guild master for nothing.
Clang!
Seojun lightly countered from the start, returning the greeting.
"That won't be enough!"
"Are you telling me to deflect?"
"Yes. Try it."
A confident voice.
It must be because of the attacks coming from behind.
Seojun took steps and with light movements, escaped between the sword auras.
"Guild master brother! Watch your feet! Whenever he talks about Dun swords, he trips you up!"
To be precise, it's about losing your center, but Seojun didn't bother to correct it.
"Okay! Got it!"
The turn of attack went to Poppi Papa.
Next, to the two who followed.
Then back to Poppi Papa.
As if they were used to group fights, they relentlessly pressed on without giving an opening, so Seojun had no choice but to keep getting pushed back.
He allowed a few hits, and even with the support's shield, his health dropped to a third.
"Hahaha! Three is different! Go ahead, try that Dun sword thing again!"
"Let's not let our guard down."
"Yes."
The moment when they seemed to show the majesty of the Blood Lords by dropping another near half in an instant.
Seojun raised his sword to the sky.
It meant to look up.
Strangely, as their eyes followed the sword.
The Blood Lords confirmed that at the tip of the sword, precisely in the sky, a pile of magic circles were almost finished casting.
"M-Magic Sword Mountain?"
"This is also a Dun sword, Sword Emperor."
"No, it's magic, I tell you?"
"Hahaha. We're screwed."
The mages' ultimate skills were fired.
[You have succeeded in the siege.]
[Designate a Lord and commanders, and prepare for defense.]
* * *
The members of Supreme Lord and Monster guild were suddenly summoned to the waiting room without properly understanding what had happened.
But a few things were clear.
[Ah. Can you all hear my voice now? Listen carefully. I am the Lord. I'll say it again. I am the Lord.]
The owner of that annoying voice had done something and won again.
And now, they had to break through that person to succeed in the siege.
Morale was bound to drop.
