Chapter 403. < Episode 125. Fallen Elemental Lord (4). >
11.
Most people feel good when a movie they originally thought would open on a Friday opens on a Monday.
Even more so, if the movie is not just a movie, but a movie you have been waiting for, the feeling is indescribable.
– what? The raid date is today? really?
-Wow, I was just ignoring it because BJ Grand Mage said he was doing a breathing exercise, but this happened overnight?
– This is why you shouldn’t take your eyes off BJ Grand Mage. All I have to do now is watch BJ Grand Mage.
It was for that reason that the public’s evaluation of BJ Archmage’s fallen spirit lord, Reid, improved dramatically.
The preparation period, which I thought would take more than 15 days, was only a few days.
Of course, not everyone was happy with that fact.
“But if this happens, what will happen to the other guild members who are preparing for the raid? Didn’t it take less than a week to prepare? Most of them didn’t even hunt properly, so they probably couldn’t even adjust their condition?”
For those who were allowed to participate in the raid on the condition of donating the ultimate essence to BJ the Great Mage, it was like a sudden thunderbolt.
“Somehow, I just have to rush to participate.”
Of course, it became impossible for the guilds who were preparing to participate in the raid to participate in this raid fully equipped.
At least, unless they were warned of D-Day by BJ Archmage in advance, that was the reason some raised conspiracy theories.
“Whoops, that’s the goal of BJ Grand Mage.”
Lee Hyuk-ju was representative.
“Aim number?”
“Looking at it, the BJ Grand Mage did a trick to screw her competitors, right?”
“No, does that make sense? Why are you feeding candy to those who help you?”
“Who is this BJ Grand Mage?”
Lee Hyuk-joo insisted strongly.
“BJ Grand Mage is a noble solo who has sworn to God in the sky to live as a solo for the rest of his life. isn’t it?”
“yes.”
“From his point of view, even joining hands with an all-star team is a lifetime of humiliation and a betrayal of God. But do you even get help from others there? Will Solo’s soul in BJ Archmage’s heart accept that?”
All of this is the work of the great mage BJ, and he has good reasons for doing so.
“Is that what I heard?”
“Well, from the point of view of BJ Archmage, just not doing it as a solo feels bad.”
Most of them nodded their heads to Lee Hyuk-joo’s argument.
Except for one person.
“Isn’t Hyunwoo hyung?”
Lee Hyuk-ju spoke to Jung Hyeon-woo, who was the only one who did not nod at his words.
“I’m in serious trouble right now, so could you stop talking to me?”
With a more stern expression than ever before.
In that bloody atmosphere, Lee Hyuk-ju nodded lightly instead of answering.
That’s how Midas escaped Lee Hyuk-ju’s attention and covered the area around my mouth with both hands together.
He expressed that he was in serious trouble with his whole body.
That’s how serious Jeong Hyeon-woo was now.
‘Oh shit I’m crazy! You don’t give me time there!’
That would be the case, because what Lee Hyuk-ju said was the worst case scenario for Jung Hyeon-woo.
‘I should have given the people who came to help me time to gather their strength… … .’
In a situation where you don’t know how high the current level of the fallen spirit lord raid difficulty will be, you’ve put those who are waiting to help you into a corner.
It was something common sense ought not to have done.
‘I’m too drunk with the atmosphere.’
At that time, I would never have done it if Zeus’ Lightning Fragment hadn’t suddenly appeared as a level 350 skill card reward.
‘What should I do if I take my hand off?’
In any case, the Tier 1 guilds who wanted to participate in this raid had no choice but to tap the calculator again.
Right now, the boss monster of the extreme zone, the Guardian of the Fallen Raid, is also difficult enough for 1 tier guilds to risk their lives, but there is little risk in catching a stronger fallen spirit lord.
But suddenly the risk increased?
I couldn’t help but think that it might be better not to do it than to fail after doing it for nothing.
‘Even an all-star team won’t be easy.’
And such an atmosphere was no exception for the all-star team.
That is, there was only one answer.
‘I have no choice but to go crazy.’
The only way to resurrect the sunken atmosphere of the decision is to do the best of BJ’s great mage.
‘Let’s eat a potion like crazy today.’
Lee Hyuk-joo gave a signal to Jung Hyeon-woo, who had finished his heartbreaking resolution.
“There are still 30 minutes left. That great showdown.”
A signal that tells you it’s time to log in to the game.
12.
“Welcome. I was waiting.”
As soon as he logged in, Midas’ expression hardened slightly at the sight of God welcoming him.
The reason was simple.
‘Oh, I can’t get used to it.’
It was hard to believe that the highest authority of the Big Family Guild, which boasts the largest number and power among Tier 1 guilds, welcomes them.
To use an analogy, it was like the boss of the company next door coming out to greet an office worker who had just been promoted to general manager.
“Ah yes.”
No matter how good Midas was at acting, he couldn’t help but look a little awkward.
“Rather than that, did the All-Star team prepare well?”
It was like that even now.
I got rid of the awkward expression and immediately started talking with a relaxed smile, but in the end, the gap was a gap.
Moreover, the person in front of him was Gord, who became the head of that huge guild with his ability to handle people rather than his skills.
There is no way I would miss the moment when he appeared and disappeared in that short moment.
‘It looks like I’ve heard the stories of other guilds.’
God, who caught such a gap, was able to infer why BJ Grand Mage showed such a gap.
“I was prepared. It’s not as good as other guilds do.”
‘Your trick didn’t work. On the contrary, it had the opposite effect.’
The raid schedule was quickly set up to shake the competitors, but instead of being shaken by the trick, the competitors were rather excited and invested more than planned.
Other guilds?”
Of course, Midas, who had no way of knowing that fact, tilted his head and expressed his doubts, and smiled faintly.
‘You’re really good at acting. You look like you really don’t know.’
Because it sounded like this to God’s ears.
It’s none of my business what they prepare, so what did they do? Called.
Of course, Gord did not directly explain it.
And I didn’t even have to.
“Ask me directly. He will come soon.”
Just as the description said, the moment the news of BJ Grand Mage’s access was heard, four groups approached the place where Midas was.
It was the masters of the four guilds who promised to donate the extreme essence and the players who followed them.
Of course, it wasn’t just the four guilds participating in the war.
Like the all-star team, other Tier 1 guilds gathered around them and made a team.
Because of that, the face was even more glamorous.
In fact, it would be right to say that there are four all-star teams.
‘and.’
Midas couldn’t help but exclaim.
‘Why is everyone like this?’
What surprised Midas in particular was that it was not easy to see the unique grade among the items worn by a total of 40 players, 10 each of whom came.
Most of them had three or more Legendary items, and even the Masters were plastered with Legendary items.
‘How many extreme series are there?’
Among them, among the legendary items, there were also items that could not be traded with famous money.
‘It shouldn’t have been this much originally?’
Item setting at a completely different level from what Midas had done beforehand.
‘no way?’
In other words, it meant that the setting was urgently tailored for this raid.
“It’s been a while since we all got together like this. This is the Master Show of the Wave Guild. Nice to meet you, BJ Archmage.”
“This is Pio, the Acting Master of the Warrior Guild. I’m proud of myself for being famous, so I won’t introduce it any further.”
“Yes, we all know each other, but let’s say something short and say something useless. This is Arrow Guild’s Master Robin. You don’t need to explain why you’re Robin?”
“I am Hillman, the representative of the Never Die Guild.”
That’s how the representatives of the four guilds introduced themselves, surprised by Midas’ visitors’ item settings.
And at the same time, I looked at BJ Grand Mage.
Now it’s your turn to introduce yourself.
‘ah! This is not the time.’
Seeing that gaze, Midas came to his senses and began to think of words to spit out quickly.
But time was short, and in the end, what I could remember was obvious.
“Thank you for coming to help me like this. And thank you for coming with new items for me.”
I just mentioned something that surprised me when I saw it a while ago.
‘If I just praise it, it’ll look like nothing, so let’s pretend to know.’
Midas went a little further here.
I mentioned an item that caught my eye right away.
“I have never seen so many extreme weapons. Let’s see if you add the people who came with you… … .
You mentioned an extreme series of items that are never traded.
“Two swords, one staff, one bow and one shield, right? Of these, the extreme sword and extreme bow were originally there, but the other three seem to have been borrowed for today.”
‘Is this roughly what it looks like?’
At Midas’ remark, the expressions of the representatives of the four guilds and Gord, who was present together, were slightly distorted at the same time as if they had promised.
‘I haven’t even shown it yet?’
‘I must have been trading secretly to know the numbers perfectly, so how did you figure it out?’
It would be strange if he was able to maintain his composure when he was immediately exposed to the items he had secretly brought after paying a huge price to devour BJ’s presence.
‘It’s not that the information power is extraordinary, but this level is just a level to look inside us, isn’t it?’
At the same time, it was inevitable to get goosebumps.
I never imagined that they would be aware of their actions and secret transactions to this extent.
Of course, Midas couldn’t have known that.
‘You’ve prepared this far for me… … thank you.’
I am just grateful to the four guilds and the officials who prepared more even though I was in such a hurry to schedule the raid.
‘Rather than that, catching a boss monster wouldn’t be a job at this level, right?’
And after that grateful heart, the guy called confidence soared without knowing how high it was in the sky.
‘Yeah, there are times when it’s easy when you play games. Let’s do it lightly.’
To the extent that he wants to catch the fallen spirit lord as soon as possible.
‘Then, shall we try to lighten up the atmosphere and play a gag?’
Midas, who had regained his composure, willingly revealed that composure.
“Ah, I should introduce myself properly. This is BJ Daemage. The guild you belong to is the SS Guild.
At that moment, everyone was greatly surprised.
‘SS Guild? What is this?’
‘What’s your intention?’
‘Am I going to reveal my true identity now?’
‘Does this mean that there is something more prepared today? Doesn’t this have to be reorganized?’
If BJ Archmage had a guild, that would be more shocking than today’s boss raid!
There was no way he would reveal such a secret without any reason.
In the midst of soaring tension in many ways, Gord opened his mouth.
“What kind of guild is the SS Guild? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
He put on a calm expression and asked a question, and Midas smiled at God’s question.
“It is a super solo guild.”
“yes?”
“It’s a gag, it’s a gag.”
Then, he lightly tapped Tuk God on the shoulder.
The moment when you play a gag that has been prepared to solve the stiff atmosphere like now.
“Haha, that’s a gag.”
Of course, there was not a single person who heard the gag and thought it was a gag.
‘They really don’t stop the psychological warfare.’
They just see it as a ploy by the BJ archmage to shake their psychological state even a little bit.
“Then let’s get serious. Can you give me the limiting integer? Now we have to summon them.”
Immediately after Midas’ words, the representatives of the four guilds activated the inventory at the same time and handed over to Midas the extreme essences they had hidden inside, ice, fire, stone, and lightning in turn.
And Midas put together what he received in turn.
It’s like putting clay of different colors together.
Immediately, the four of them merged into one, and became a very black mass.
[You have achieved the title of the one who gathered the essence of the extreme zone.]
The moment the materials to summon the boss monster of the extreme zone are completed.
“Then before dropping it.”
All that was left now was for Midas to throw the black lump to the ground.
“I’ll give you a brief briefing.”
Midas, who was about to do the work, now spat out his final words.
“As you know, the moment you drop it on the floor, a random boss monster appears in the extreme zone. However, the boss monster that appears this time is the Fallen Spirit Lord. I don’t even know what kind of monster it is. Obviously, there is nothing strange about being a guardian of the fallen, and it is certain that he will lead a huge group of monsters, as the word for a monarch suggests.”
No one listened to the brief explanation.
Because that wasn’t what mattered anyway.
“And you should keep in mind that this raid is not a competition. We will all work together to catch it.”
The important thing is the raid method.
“So, if they attack each other along the way, I will impose sanctions. Of course, it doesn’t make much sense for me to impose sanctions on myself, but I still have to say this. haha.”
No one laughed at Midas’ words that followed.
‘It’s better to just run to the boss monster and die than be punished by BJ Archmage.’
If the BJ Grand Mage were to impose sanctions, there would be nothing scarier than that.
‘In other words, if you follow the rules, you won’t have to fight with BJ Tsushima.’
So it was a way to feel more secure.
“I agree.”
“me too.”
So there was no objection.
At that fact, Midas smiled even deeper.
“Then let’s go right in.”
At that moment, Midas immediately let go of the black lump in his hand, and the black lump fell to the floor.
Fire!
At that moment, the fire in the forest that had been burning suddenly began to soar like mad.
As if covering the sky.
“Uh.”
“Maybe it’s because it’s a special boss monster, so its scale is unique.”
Everyone seemed nervous about the change in the environment, which was completely different from when they had captured the Guardian of the Fallen.
Soon, a notification sounded.
[The fallen spirit lord has appeared.]
[Confusion comes to the extreme region.]
A notification that the long-awaited stage has unfolded.
‘This is the start of a new work.’
At that moment, everyone tightened the strings of tension.
‘Today, life and death are staked.’
I have to catch a boss monster I’ve never encountered before in an extreme zone with a better look than BJ Archmage, but it can’t be easy.
It was really worth risking your life for.
“Everyone is so nervous.”
Only one Midas, still full of composure, spoke to everyone.
“Well, with a party like this, catching the boss monster wouldn’t be a chore. Isn’t it?”
That was the moment.
“Breaking news!”
“Master breaking news is here.”
“Breaking news!”
Players who had not participated in the conversation so far and stood like folding screens behind the representatives shouted what they had been reported through the chat window.
“The eastern side of the forest has turned into an ice field.”
“The fog has spread to the south.”
“The west has turned to stone!”
Breaking news that four types of extremes have arrived at the same time in the extreme zone where only fire should roam as it should.
‘Can this be?’
‘if?’
‘No really?’
At that moment, everyone remembered.
“…Aren’t there four Guardians of the Fallen?”
At the same time, just as the four types of extremes arrived, all four types of guardians of the fallen might come.
The answer came right away to that question.
“Four guardians have appeared. All of them by type!”
It was the moment when extreme hell unfolded.
