Chapter 101: Guild Battle (2)

Phantom Archer Nam Cheolmin

He took pride in this alias. At least in Korea, there was no Awakened One who could shoot an arrow as well as him.

But Kim Minwoo shattered that pride in an instant.

What?

Put down the crown?

And have Seo Yerim, who had only been an archer for a month, inherit it?

He was so dumbfounded that he was about to run away. And the next thing he said was even more outrageous.

‘Ha, Divine Archer?’

What an arrogant alias.

That’s why he was dumbfounded.

‘He should at least put on a show to make it sound fitting.’

It wasn’t that he didn’t understand the intention.

He also thought that Bow of Justice was a bit of a lame alias, to be honest.

So, he should at least give her a little boost.

And show some respect for being her senior.

If he had then suggested another decent alias, Nam Cheolmin would have chuckled and thrown in a word of encouragement.

What good would it do to fight with the eldest son of the Ilsung Group in the first place? It would be better if they just got along.

But from the start, it was just a complete mess.

‘Presumptuous bastard.’

Just look at him crossing the line right away after being told that he was doing well.

Even though the Awakened world is all about strength, it’s still a very arrogant statement, even considering that.

Of course, he got angry.

“Show me what you’ve got.”

Empowered, he took aim at Kim Minwoo.

Rapid Fire.

It was his signature skill, a skill that unleashed hundreds of arrows per second.

As he shot hundreds of arrows at Kim Minwoo, Nam Cheolmin was still confident.

He had perfectly calculated the wind, trajectory, and direction. He couldn’t remember the last time he had shot his bow so cleanly.

But the guy didn’t move.

He just stood there like a statue, staring at Seo Yerim.

‘No way she’s going to deflect this with arrows?’

Even with the acceleration, coming down from the sky?

Nam Cheolmin chuckled.

That was a feat that even the world-ranked archers couldn’t easily show off, not just in Korea.

Maybe this guild battle would be much easier than he had been tense about.

Once Kim Minwoo was caught and the summons who would protect him were all gone, he should be able to easily take down a single inspector and archer.

He was almost laughing.

Until Seo Yerim drew her bowstring at super speed and prepared to fire.

“......Huh?”

Nam Cheolmin rubbed his eyes.

‘What the hell?’

Why was that woman using the same skill as his trademark?

‘She had Rapid Fire?’

While it was possible for lower-level achievements, the higher the achievement, the less likely it was that achievement skills would overlap.

Could it be that the skills overlapped against all odds?

If not that, then...

Nam Cheolmin swallowed dry saliva.

‘What am I seeing?’

Mana arrows shot from the ground were turning his own arrows into cans. As if that wasn’t enough, they were barely hitting the ends and sapping their strength.

The swarm of mana arrows was flying towards him without losing any of their power.

‘Crazy...’ViiSit no(v)3lb!n(.)com for new novels

A master knows another master.

Nam Cheolmin was an archer who had not only reached the level of a master but was also halfway to the rank of a super-master. That’s why he could see it clearly.

‘What the hell is that girl up to?’

The scene he had just seen flashed through his mind.

Seo Yerim staring at him intently as he used Rapid Fire.

‘Could she have analyzed my skill?’

And immediately copied it?

“Guild Master!”

“Don’t interfere! Never!”

Nam Cheolmin growled at the guild members who were trying to use their defense skills to protect him from the oncoming arrows.

Kim Minwoo was calmly standing still and taking it all in, but he was asking for help from his guild members?

There was nothing more pathetic in the world. And this was his area of expertise, flying archery.

With that in mind, Nam Cheolmin drew his bowstring.

‘Oh yeah, I’ll defeat them!’

He could do the same thing.

Deflecting the arrows?

After all, he was the number one archer in Korea.

It was difficult, but not impossible.

[Rapid Fire (S) is activated!]

He drew his bowstring with a ghostly look in his eyes. Hundreds of arrows flew through the sky once again.

— Calmly, the rank difference is too big; there’s no excuse for this. It’s just the level of being crushed one-on-one.

— Instead of the Bow Goddess, she should be called the Divine Archer now, right?

— Don’t you see the Divine Archer’s cool look right now, pouring down arrows? The form is just crazy lol

— Is this the same Awakened One who was fighting with a sword just a month ago? My heart swells with pride.......

— Wow; this is something that can even be used in the world. For real.......

“Ah, the moment I speak, the undead army starts advancing! From the giant golem to the skeleton army to Cedric himself!”

“They’re busy defending themselves from the arrows right now, of course. Since they’re lower-level undead, one prayer from the priests should be enough to dispel them...”

“Park Siwoo, the Awakened One with the Holy Sword, is also running! At least his potential is top-class! He’s the disciple of the Sword Saint! Ilsung Guild, you need to be nervous!”

Park Siwoo and the undead army charged forward.

And then...

A woman wielding a staff was also walking forward, stepping on the ground that had just been magically created.

“That summon, she seems like a mage, right?”

“Yes, that looks like Earth Travel, one of the mage skills.”

“Cedric, wasn’t an ordinary summon either. I wonder about that mage too!”

The Ilsung Guild wasn’t just sitting around either.

While the mages were deploying barriers to block the arrows, beams of light from the priests began to rain down on the approaching undead.

Five of the members of the First Team had been assigned as priests in order to effectively counter Kim Minwoo.

The flashy skills of the high-level senior priests hit the horde of undead.

That’s when it happened.

“Huh?”

“What is it?”

“Did it hit?”

Beams of light erupted from between the skeletons that were running hard.

Normally, those low-level summons would have all fallen and been purified.

But...”

“...There’s no impact?”

“No, the summons didn’t use a light resistance artifact either? What the heck is this?”

“The undead horde keeps coming!”

“Uh-oh! We’re in trouble! If we can’t stop these undead from approaching, we’re going to be exhausted! There are more than a few of them!”

The Ilsung Guild members, who had been muttering, reacted quickly.

This time, the priests deployed barriers to block the hail of arrows.

Mana gathered on the hands of the mages.

If the priests’ skills didn’t work, they would just wipe them out with magic.

That was the plan.

It was then.

Kim Minwoo’s second summon raised its hand.

And then.

The Ilsung mages who were said to be the best were seen spitting blood and collapsing on the ground.

“?”

“?”

“?”

— ?

— ??

— ???

“Is this... maybe...”

The commentators’ eyes trembled.

They were professionals.

They were also knowledgeable enough to commentate on overseas matches.

Sometimes in overseas matches.

Top mages would create scenes like this against other mages.

They would read all of their opponent’s magic and cut it off with a preemptive response.

That was usually called...

“Ma, magic blocking?”

“Is that really magic blocking?”

“No way! Isn’t that something only world-class players show us?”

“No, a summon is doing that?”

The rearguard was instantly crushed.

That wasn’t the only misfortune for the Ilsung Guild.

Park Siwoo and Cedric.

The moment an undead and an Awakened One attached themselves to the front line...

“Oh no? The front line is... being crushed?”

“They can’t hold on?”

“What’s going on? An S-rank warrior and inspector are being pushed back! By just a summon and a low-level Awakened One!”

Park Siwoo attached himself to the swordsman, and Cedric attached himself to the warrior.

For a moment, the two S-rank Awakened Ones clashed with a smirk, but then they were seen being pushed back with cold sweat.

A gaping hole was punched through the front line.

Towards that hole,

“There’s an opening! Golem, body slam! Kaboom! Ah! Big trouble! The warriors in the front line are scattering! How strong is that golem?!”

“The skeletons are pouring in! They’re surging like a tidal wave! Skeletons may be called meat shields, but they fight well in this kind of chaos, right?”

“Whether it’s an undead or a human, getting stabbed in the back is out!”

The skeletons dug in and attacked everywhere, like an ant swarm bursting out of an anthill.

The 1st Team of Korea’s 5th ranked guild.

That very 1st team was collapsing miserably.
