[Team 1 clears Cheonhwa Department Store. Two objects to be removed, please give me the next instructions.]
[Team 2 clears the black dragon spot. One object removed. Five serious injuries. Let me know when it’s over.]
[3 teams, 4 teams enter the Xiao Sangga battle. I’ll clean up the two discovered objects within 10 minutes.]
[Team 5 Black Dragon Bank…]
[Team 6…]
A room with numerous monitors.
The place, which was modeled after the Leviathan’s control room, was receiving as many calls and reports as the current Leviathan.
Three if there is a difference.
The first is that it is the treasure house of the Infinity Guild, not the Black Dragon Clan.
Second, there is no rescue request or emergency alert among them.
The third was that one person was in charge of the place.
“Team 1 stand by for additional raids. A new intruder has been detected in the Guardian system.”
“Team 2, please move to the fire department as soon as you finish your probation.”
“Teams 3 and 4 are…”
Truly a struggle.
Thinking of Wei Ling, a woman disguised as a man, who was giving out orders so frantically that she reminded me of Asura from Three Heads and Six Feet.
‘I’ll kill you the next time I see you.’
She was the one who had to stay up all night for days and nights because Limon had suddenly signed a security service contract with the Infinity Guild.
In addition, it is basic that an emergency response system was added to the Guardian system not too long ago.
I took over the command in case of an emergency.
It was a valid resentment for Wei Ling, who almost died from overwork and was still overworked.
‘If I really die from overwork, it’s a shame.’
Nevertheless, the fact that she did everything neatly was proof of her competence, which was only possible because it was Wei Ling.
Originally, it would have been a daunting task even if three or four people shared just the situation she was doing now.
‘…Anyway, it’s true that I got over the hurdle thanks to that.’
It was Wei-ling, who almost created and led the Guardian System alone.
that’s why i knew
That he was able to save affiliates and clans that were in danger of collapsing right away because he prepared so recklessly.
In the end, it was also thanks to Limon.
Even signing a security service contract with the Infinity Guild was originally impossible.
And if it weren’t for the Infinity Guild, one of the teenage guilds, no matter how many giant guilds were mobilized, they wouldn’t have been able to handle this situation.
Right now, it was hard to say that I was fully handling the situation.
‘Our affiliates are at least stable, but the rest is a problem.’
Wei-ling, who checked the status of affiliates not registered in the Guardian System through the monitor connected to the Leviathan’s control room, frowned.
The only thing that has improved is the affiliates that signed a contract with the Guardian.
The rest of the affiliates were still fighting a bloody struggle against Ryu Kang-cheol’s alter ego.
‘Support is impossible.’
Wei Ling judged calmly.
From the beginning, the only condition of the contract was to protect affiliates that joined the Guardian System.
No matter how many affiliates of the same Black Dragon clan, there was no way the Infinity Guild would help other affiliates unless they signed an additional contract.
Even if they helped, it was a problem.
‘It’s not enough to protect all affiliates.’
Even the Infinity Guild does not have an infinite number of manpower.
On the other hand, Ryu Gang-cheol’s alter ego was still popping out from somewhere and attacking affiliates.
If you distribute your power to help a place that has not contracted with the Guardian, and then the contracted affiliates collapse, it will only lead to a turn of events.
The endlessly rising level 80 killers were just as tricky.
If you weren’t a high-level player over level 60 or an expert at that level, you couldn’t use it at all.
‘I can’t help it as long as I don’t have three times the current power… at least twice.’
Wei-Ling shook her head after calculating the minimum power required to protect all affiliates.
Although only a part of the force was mobilized, what is fighting against Ryu Kang-cheol now is the armed forces of the Seven Dragons and the raiding team of the Infinity Guild.
It is almost the best of the national power level.
I don’t know if I have time for a few days.
There was no way they could add this much power right now.
[Hey stupid.]
It was then.
One communication flew.
Wei Ling, who had managed to catch the communication that had almost been overlooked in the overflowing reports, frowned in a different way than before.
“Where and what are you doing in the middle of this, are you finally contacting me?”
[Let’s talk about that later and send me some routes.]
“What route do you mean?”
[Affiliates not contracted with Guardian. A route that allows you to turn from the most dangerous place as quickly as possible.]
If it is out of the blue, it is out of the blue.
Understanding the meaning contained in it, Wei Ling put on a strange expression.
“…Are you saying you’re going to take on all the other affiliates by yourself?”
[It’s not that I’m taking on anything. I just wanted to cut a knife to kill time while taking a walk.]
“It’s impossible.”
Wei Ling said rightly.
Of course, I know Limon is strong.
It was to the point of being rude just by giving an instruction over the phone.
If you fight directly, you will be able to handle Ryu Kang-cheol within 30 points at the longest, or 10 points if it is short.
However, that is only if Ryu Kang-cheol is one person and in one place, and it can be solved by killing him once.
It was impossible for anyone to block Ryu Kang-chul alone, who pops out like a zombie even after killing him in dozens of places that have already been confirmed.
[Well, it’s impossible normally.]
It’s really unexpected.
Limon readily agreed.
Just as one hand cannot cover ten hands, the difference in numbers is itself the ultimate irrationality.
[But stupidly, I’m not an ordinary person.]
By attaching a single premise.
[Sword master.]
“…”
There are always exceptions in the world, and
that is what a sword master is.
Hearing Limon’s affirmation, Wei Ling remained silent for a moment.
It wasn’t that he was so arrogant that his arrogance pierced the sky, and he was so arrogant that he spoke so confidently that he was astounded.
Rather the opposite, to put it bluntly.
It was because of his mental state that he felt that the nonsense was plausible for some reason.
“I will send it soon, so please wait.”
[Yes, don’t expect it.]
“….”
As if the conversation was enough.
After Limon lightly hung up the phone.
Wei Ling immediately moved her hand and muttered involuntarily as she organized the route to send to Limon.
“Are you looking forward to it?”
she knew
That expectation is only about ability.
The fact that Limon, who never believed in the Seven Dragons, would eventually doubt the information he sent and filter it and make his own decisions.
Even so, the moment I heard those words, I felt a strange sense of pride, probably because I was not normal.
‘This is all because of him.’
After receiving instruction from Limon and fighting against Ryu Kang-cheol.
Wei Ling has become strange.
When I closed my eyes, the sword came to mind.
So whenever I had a chance, I grabbed my sword.
However, no matter how much I swung my sword, I couldn’t feel any satisfaction.
Because I could never unleash the same sword as when Limon taught me, and the joyous, almost ecstatic sensation of that time never came back.
The more you swing the sword, the more your thirst grows, and the endless repetition of hell that you can’t stop.
‘Even if it wasn’t for him…’
That’s why you should have hatred.
You should blame yourself for pushing yourself into hell.
What comes to mind is longing.
Just looking at it makes my heart thump, thinking about the sword of that time.
I hate it terribly, but I long for it, and I don’t want to even talk about it, but I want to be taught.
In order to avoid that contradictory confusion, after that day, I was deliberately avoiding meeting Limon while busy walking around.
In the end, his resolve is shaken just by hearing that he expects from Limon.
‘It’s a useless worry.’
Wei Ling shook her head.
Now was not the time to be confused by such trivial thoughts.
teddy.
Even while immersed in such anguish, she immediately sent the route weaved with the information of the affiliates quickly organized to Limon’s pager.
“…no matter how you think about it, it’s reckless.”
I just obeyed because it was an order.
Wei Ling was still negative.
The more you think about it, the more you think about it, the more it makes no sense that Limon alone can protect so many subsidiaries.
Belt-
‘As expected.’
A monitor that displays the status of affiliates.
On that map, I did see the first affiliate’s red light suddenly turn green.
But what came to Wei Ling’s eyes was disappointment.
‘It is too late.’
After receiving information from her.
Approximately 3 minutes elapsed until the first affiliate was closed.
It was an exceptionally short amount of time for a player in his 80s who was running in a hurry.
But it wasn’t short enough.
Only dozens of affiliates are in crisis right now.
Even if it were to be sorted out one by one every three minutes, by the time three or four affiliates had gone around, the remaining five or six affiliates would already be in a bloodbath.
‘What did I expect?’
It’s a very natural result.
For a while, I laughed at myself for feeling disappointed again.
Wei Ling forcibly cut off her interest in Limon.
Instead, he focused on directing the Infinity Guild and protecting at least the affiliates that signed a contract with the Guardian.
No, I was trying to focus.
Belt –
‘Already?’
Before two minutes had passed.
That is until I see another red light turn green.
‘Was the second affiliate particularly close?’
Wei-ling analyzed the factors.
Like Limon’s speed of movement was faster than he expected, geographical factors, or luck.
That was until then.
That was what kept her cool.
Belt-
‘Again?’
This time the light changed in 1 minute.
Wei Ling had no choice but to raise her eyebrows at this extreme time reduction, which was difficult to understand no matter what factors were added.
But that was just the beginning.
T-D-
T-DD-
T-DD-DD-!
“…!?”
50 seconds 30 seconds 15 seconds 10 seconds.
Time gets shorter as you go.
And like the neon sign on the street at night, the situation board turns green in an instant, and the beep that turns into an alarm sound because it’s too fast.
‘What is this…?’
Even though it’s only been 10 minutes.
Looking at the monitor, where 40% of the red light that filled the placenta of the map had already turned green, she held her breath.
Even a high-level player with a space-related skill would be close to impossible to perform long-distance jumps in succession at such an absurd speed.
Limon, who is not even a player, is saving affiliates by crossing dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
At this point, the assumption that the dashboard was broken by a virus or hacking felt a million times more realistic.
But Wei Ling didn’t think so.
No, not exactly.
Limon’s misunderstood words.
the experience of being taught by him.
Above all, this heartbeat.
This was not an error, it was a fact, and it was clearer than any other evidence that it was the result of Limon’s efforts.
So, Wei Ling could only mumble while looking at the situation board with confused eyes.
“What the hell is this mad sword master doing?”
