Chapter 43-7

Chapter 7) Weed the God of War

The Hermes Guild users rushing towards Atarog’s Lair were shocked to hear the news .

-The 3 party alliance has been wiped out . No one survived .

-The attackers . They are dragging evil spirits around the dungeon . Commanding them like subordinates .

-There are over 700 victims . It is expected that all the users in the guild will soon be wiped out .

Usually attackers could only wiped out one party of the Hermes Guild .

A handful of small fights .

It was very rare for small groups to be able to wipe out the powerhouse that was the Hermes Guild on the Versailles Continent .

But now more than 100 members of the guild had been swept away by only 5 people . It was an armed demonstration that was really hard to imagine .

“This…why the hell are the evil spirits following them? Is it possible they are over level 550?”

“The level isn’t important . They might have a special item that can increase power for a short period of time . We can still win . ”

“The number of people can’t be ignored . They are 5 people while we are 300 . We can’t let them run away so move quickly . ”

The users still thought that they would win anyway .

But a dungeon was usually a narrow place . The one in the lead in an underground place could easily be killed .

‘Should I stay in the back and wait for a chance?’

But the power of this group was so great that they worried about this fight ending quickly .

Getting rid of the attacks would let them gain fame and loot so the guild members were very tempted .

Then someone riding a horse said .

“It isn’t unusual to find strong users in Royal Road . I thought about someone as soon as I heard the story about the attackers . ”

“Who?”

The people had been thinking it was Carlise from the Black Lion Guild or Roam from the Roam Guild .

They were strong names representative of Royal Road .

“Weed . ”

“Weed? Ah, Weed of the Arpen Kingdom . It might be Weed . Wait a minute, Weed?”

Weed, the God of War, was the only one counted as a match for Bardray on the Versailles Continent .

The Hermes Guild full of high pride and arrogance had suffered many defeats and setbacks due to Weed .

“Truly, talking like it is a joke . ”

“Hey, that doesn’t sound right . ”

“Still……”

“Weed is supposed to be in the north so why should he appear here? Don’t keep barking useless things and come on!”

The large group continued riding on their horses .

But the word Weed didn’t leave their heads .

‘Is there another user with these abilities?’

It was rare even on this spacious Versailles Continent .

Apart from the form of fighting in the dungeon .

‘A strong man leading adept subordinates . In the last war, there was a barbarian warrior with incredible movements . ’

The strongest user among those rushing over, Philipan said in a loud voice .

“I don’t have a good feeling . Let me check it . ”

“How?”

“A friend of mine died in the Gold Mine Dungeon . I will ask him to confirm whether it is Weed or not . ”

Philipan made the proposal to contact his junior .

It was to determine if the attacker was Weed!

And the answer came in just 1~2 minutes .

Philipan exclaimed in surprise .

“I heard from Maro Master…he already had some thoughts about whether it is Weed!”

“……!”

“All the people here should know Weed’s combat skill . ”

The users nodded .

“His skills are unpredictable . The equipment is also impossible to guess . ”

“But what made him suspect it was Weed?”

The speed of the horses naturally slowed down .

“The victims in the Gold Mine Dungeon told a strange story . The opponent fought ruthlessly without sparing any lives and the members could do nothing against them . The defense, weapons, armour and composition of the opposing party is on a completely different level . ”

“You all know his strength . It is one of Weed’s specialties . An uncommon and daring way of fighting . ”

The Hermes Guild understood many of Weed’s skills

The guild received a lot of information and studied his combat skills .

In particular, they analyzed the special skills and weaknesses of strong users .

It was well known that Weed could raise stats such as strength and agility through destroying a sculpture .

The general sculptors didn’t have such special abilities .

“And the barbarian warrior…his equipment made him easier to identify as Weed’s subordinate who took place in the battle for the Earth Palace . ”

“Then Weed really came to the Central Continent . How can that be?”

“We can’t be completely sure but I suspect it is Weed . Until the victims post videos on the bulletin boards and the guild analyzes it then we should assume it is Weed . ”

“…… . ”

“Come on, let’s go . If we are right then this is an opportunity to get rid of Weed . ”

Their movement speed suddenly accelerated .

Formos Castle .

It used to be the Tullen Kingdom and was now part of the Central Continent .

If they got rid of Weed then their names would spread across the continent and they would receive awards from the guild .

The Arpen Kingdom was an emerging headache so there would be large achievements for killing Weed .

They would play a great role in the unification of the continent .

??????????????????????????

They arrived at Atarog’s Lair!

Puhihihihing!

The horses were foaming at the mouth after running for 1 hour .

“A lot of people are gathered . ”

“Get rid of all of them . ”

The entrance of the lair was filled with ordinary users .

It was originally a famous dungeon and the rumours that the Hermes Guild was being attacked had spread .

The guild members scattered the users and ran towards the entrance .

They could hear the spectators chattering .

“Is it really Weed?”

“Did you hear the story? The Hermes Guild has already almost all been wiped out . ”

“Is there proof that it is Weed?”

“I heard from my acquaintance that Weed is leading the evil spirits like the God of War from Continent of Magic . ”

“He is commanding them?”

“Shooting arrows, using a sword and various other professions if proof that he is Weed . ”

“It is highly likely to be true . ”

“I want to enter the lair . ”

The Hermes Guild users were blocking the entrance .

“Everybody back!”

“The lair is closed for the time being!”

It was obvious to the bystanders that intense battles were occurring inside the lair .

In addition, the spectators could interfere to help Weed .

The news that Weed was attacking spread through the guild’s networks, villages and cities .

They made sure that Weed would be trapped in Atarog’s Lair .

“200 people will enter . The perfect preparation to wipe out Weed has been finished . ”

The plan began once 400 people were gathered at the entrance .

Weed wouldn’t be able to use tricks to escape like he did in the Jigolaths .

The general users in Atarog’s Lair were expelled and a thorough search for Weed was conducted .

??????????????????????????

“The Tullen Kingdom has collapsed?”

“Yes, that’s right . ”

“Then my research……”

“Her Majesty the Queen has died . ”

“Ohu, it is the end . Then this black magic is completely useless . ”

Weed was talking with the spirits of the nobility inside Atarog’s Lair .

He had defeated all the Hermes Guild users in the lair .

Weed pretended ignorance and said .

“Did you develop some black magic?”

The aristocrat spirit asked .

“What is the greatest achievement that humans pursue?”

A mystery .

Despite the question, this great secret had already been resolved .

The aristocrat spirits had confessed the secret to the necromancer Varenna .

“Beauty . ”

“Youth and beauty being maintained forever . We were doing research on it . Now Her Majesty is dead so I will give it to you . ”

The aristocrat spirit handed over 3 Elixirs of Beauty .

‘Not everyone will drink it . The effect might be good on animals . ’

Weed didn’t intend to drink it directly and was going to sell it .

“It is a really great research . ”

“Kulkulkul, but the ingredients required to make it……”

“I can find it . ”

“Ah, yes . The place to obtain the ingredients……”

“The Rotten Foam Swamp . ”

“A long journey . Fortunately, there is a gate connection……”

“After entering the teleportation gate, there will be rotten skeletons holding a grudge . Immediate danger . ”

Before the necromancer Varenna settled in the north, he was a member of the Dark Gamers .

She posted information about the aristocrat spirits on the Dark Gamers Union .

-Weed-nim . Right now the Beden Guild and Hermes Guild are in a state of emergency and are gathering a large force at Atarog’s Lair . They noticed that Weed-nim is there .

Weed heard the news from Mapan’s employee, the merchant Black Money .

“Hrmm, of course they would notice . If I think about it……”

He could use the narrow terrain of Atarog’s Lair but it was difficult to assure victory .

The enemies would continue to swarm and would be supported by priests so there was a substantial risk .

He needed to maximize the effectiveness of a hit-and-run strategy .

Weed recalled when he harassed the prestigious guilds in Continent of Magic .

If he disliked them then he would retaliate .

Even if he only received a small interference, he would retaliate hundreds of times without any forgiveness .

There were conversations offering compromises but he refused any negotiations .

A human villain!

Looking back, he was somewhat insane during that time .

It was a tender period for him .

“Do you think I am a bad person?”

Weed asked and Seo-yoon shook her head .

“No . ”

“I’m not trying to be good . This society is rotten . ”

“That’s right . ”

During his days as ruler of the desert, Seo-yoon would give him information .

Weed knew the important parts but she told him the conditions of the area, the characteristics of the monsters and if any support would come from other areas .

“Then let’s go to the next place . ”

“I have prepared boxed lunches . ”

“Perfect . ”

He could get quite a lot of experience and loot in the Rotten Foaming Swamp .

There were many monsters manufactured by black magic and fighting them would raise faith and affinity to nature .

Depending on the achievements, he could also gain wisdom and strength .

Weed, Seo-yoon and his subordinates passed through the teleportation gate .

He was ready to beat up the Hermes Guild users again .

??????????????????????????

A few hours after the raid on the Gold Mine Dungeon and Atarog’s Lair .

The spectators wrote and uploaded videos about the slaughter of the Beden Guild and Hermes Guild on the various forums .

-Weed took a knife to the Hermes Guild .

-200, no more than 300 people lost their lives .

-He disappeared from Atarog’s Lair .

The broadcasting stations also broke the news while showing the video .

After a detail analysis of the videos from experts, it became known that the attacker was indeed Weed .

-Weed!

-Weed has started his revenge for the collapse of the Earth Palace .

-The God of War has moved!

The news from the broadcasting stations caused huge ripples .

People paid attention to the movements of Weed and Bardray .

But Weed had suddenly appeared on the Central Continent to attack the Hermes Guild .

The search operation in Atarog’s Lair couldn’t find Weed .

This was a big topic for all users on the Versailles Continent .

And one day passed .

While Royal Road, the broadcasting networks and the internet was being turned upside down, Weed had finished hunting in the Rotten Foaming Swamp .

There was no interference as many people were watching the television!

“Then we will head to Wancheonhan Fortress next . If Gold Mine Dungeon is perfect for obtaining riches, Wancheonhan Fortress is perfect for hunting . ”

Wancheonhan Fortress was located a little bit away from Poros Castle of the old Tullen Kingdom .

The Tullen Kingdom historically built fortresses on steep terrain but the construction of Wancheonhan Fortress was stopped due to budget problems .

Wancheonhan was called a fortress but only half of it was built and the other half was in ruins .

After the fortress was abandoned, it was swarmed with random monsters, bandits and thieves .

The basic level went beyond 390 and it was a large scale base .

There were magicians, archers, assassins, mercenaries and bandits mixed in .

The area around Wancheonhan Fortress was an extreme danger zone on the Versailles Continent .

They frequently looted nearby cities .

As time passed and the overall level increased, the fortress was turned into a great hunting ground .

Great combat materials, special treasures, quest rewards and loot from the robbers could be obtained after a subjugation .

Wancheonhan Fortress was one of the best hunting grounds on the Central Continent .

There was a smile of satisfaction on Weed’s face .

He had suffered damage due to the Hermes Guild’s invasion of the north .

But now Weed had entered the Central Continent and could return that damage .

He would mobilize every trick developed from Continent of Magic to fight and fool the enemy .

“I expect that there will be a festival after teleporting to Wancheonhan Fortress . ”

Seo-yoon looked at Weed who was feeling proud about being a villain .

“Don’t work too hard and rest .

“I am enjoying this . I haven’t even started yet . ”

They were in the mountains near the Rotten Foaming Swamp and Poros Castle .

“Kuweeek!”

Wy-1 and Wy-3 were waiting in the woods .

“Today we will ride Wy-1 . Is that okay?”

“I will put up with the inconvenience . ”

Wy-1 and Wy-3 had been painted in various shades of blue for camouflage .

He could use Yurin’s Picture Teleportation but he needed to move an enormous amount of loot .

Wy-3 with its flat back was the best at carrying the baggage . Wy-3 was used to move it!

“Kuwaaaak!”

Wy-3 shrieked with every heavy load .

Its leg staggered and its head sagged to the ground .

Weed gave an order to Bahamorg .

“Be careful when loading . Tie it with rope and make sure not to drop anything . ”

“Understood . ”

The backpacks were perfectly tied on Wy-3 .

“Wy-3 . ”

Weed spoke softly to Wy-3 but his eyes were flashing .

“Do you want to live a long time?”

“…… . ”

“It isn’t easy to live a long life in this world . You will feel hungry, cold, sick and hungry . Once I dispose of all this, I will give you warm fleece clothing . ”

“Kauuuck . ”

Wy-3 shed tears of joy .

The wyverns were sensitive to the cold and they were often around the freezing Bingryong .

Warm fleece clothing would go a long way for the wyverns .

Seo-yoon tenderly stroked Wy-3’s head .

‘Pitiful . ’

She saw through it .

Giving Wy-3 fleece clothing would make riding it more comfortable .

Wy-3 would be busy working in the future .

??????????????????????????

“Weed is attacking . ”

Lafaye reported calmly .

The rebels in the Haven Empire wasn’t as important as the information about Weed .

“It is surprising but should we wait and see? Or should we retaliate?”

Lafaye was filled with worry .

The wide Central Continent .

The Haven Empire had dozens of big battles a day due to the rebels .

The army moved to the central area and swept up the rebels, temporarily stabilizing the area .

Law and order in the Central Continent needed to be maintained for the sake of the future .

In the past, the Haven Empire had easily neutralized any rebels .

But as public sentiment worsened due to the constant wars, rebels continued to form .

The Cloud Guild, Lion Star, Roam Guild and Black Sword Mercenaries .

They were prestigious guilds in the past and were trying to recover territory in the Haven Empire .

More than half of the Imperial Army was mobilized to contain their forces .

The Haven Empire couldn’t overlook the crisis .

“Send some people immediately . If we kill Weed then we have practically conquered the continent .

“I will go . ”

“Please send me . I will lead some knights and get rid of him . ”

The temporary Imperial Palace of the Haven Empire .

A room in Aren Castle has been converted into a meeting room .

Weed was in the Central Continent so this was a golden opportunity to catch them .

The medium ranked users in the Hermes Guild asked to be sent .

Lafaye thought for a moment before saying .

“I also agree with the perspective of getting rid of Weed . But he isn’t a fool and won’t stay close to Poros Castle so how will we catch him?”

“We should pursue him from now on . ”

“It has been confirmed that he can change his species through sculpting . ”

“We just need to form a large encirclement and find him . ”

“He could ride the wyverns in the sky . ”

“Then mobilize the griffon corps .

The Haven Empire’s griffon corps!

The griffon corps was one of the most powerful forces in the Haven Empire .

They were used to conquer the Kallamore Kingdom and continued to receive support to build their power .

Now they were placed on the border area of the Gradian Kingdom and Nest Kingdom in order to fight the rebels .

A total of 5,000 griffons were locked like shackles to that area .

Lafaye was tempted to pull away a few griffons but gave up .

In the past, the primary goal of the Hermes Guild was to get rid of their enemies .

Wiping out a few rebels would have been an easy task in the past .

They needed to stabilize the empire so they couldn’t afford to cause a large event by chasing Weed .

‘After the empire is stabilized, we need to destroy the north . I can’t handle this event in the way that I want to . ’

Lafaye cleared his thoughts and said .

“We can’t dispatch troops on a large scale to chase just one person . It will be shameful if we miss . The current priority of the Haven Empire is to maintain our policies . ”

The Haven Empire decided to continue focusing on security and internal affairs .

They didn’t know where Weed would appear since he was like a mole .

But they committed troops in areas where he was likely to appear .

If Weed appeared in those areas then they could respond immediately .

They also put a bounty on Weed’s head .

Lafaye simple had to sit back and watch and the Hermes Guild would still receive benefits .

‘Even if he damages us ten times, the big fish will be caught in the end . This will be the last reckless challenge . ’

The Hermes Guild would eventually overpower the rebels .

After trampling on their last hope, they would unconditionally obey the rules .

The ambitious lords of the Haven Empire would show them the difference in power .

Many thoughts overflowed as Weed continued causing damage to the Haven Empire .
