Chapter Title: Being a Guild Master Isn't Enough with Just the Game
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The skies over Lowguard turned pitch black.
Combat-bred dragons flapped their wings, unleashing breath attacks, while demons zipped through the air at will, firing off spells and bullets.
Demons.
The race of magic and machinery.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat—
[“Whoa, shit!!”]
[“Gyaahhh—!!”]
[“Kyaak!! Demons packing guns, what the fuck!!”]
Screeeeech—
A dragon with demons riding its back let out a piercing roar.
Lowguard's dragons were bigger and fiercer than Spaceking's bunch.
As if the demons had cooked up their own upgraded strains.
Kaisha, who had soared to dizzying heights, gazed down below.
Kali pinged her in a private chat.
[“You check the online players list? Death cooldown's fully cleared.”]
“Yeah.”
[“What's Bipa's deal all of a sudden? Even if it's the endgame siege, this feels off.”]
“Maybe the devs are puppeteering it? Looks like an event kicked off mid-siege—probably automated.”
[“Could be? Ugh. The numbers are nuts. How long to wipe 'em all?”]
Kaisha snuck a glance at the gate.
Bipa players were flooding through the gate from Highguard in absurd numbers.
Yet to Kaisha's eyes, the monster ranks stretched on forever.
“Who knows.”
But the players kept pouring in.
Down on the ground, the battle had already swung hard in the players' favor.
The vibe was straight-up festival mode.
Plus, all the guildmates who'd bought it in the opening ambush—stuck offline for 24 hours—had logged back in.
“Might wrap up quick.”
Kaisha muttered, raising both hands.
The telltale motion to summon her neuroforce.
Neuroforce was a real-world intangible power, impossible to wield without specialized gear.
But in Bipa, channeling it like this let you watch it boil up like fire right before your eyes.
Beads of green mana forming one by one.
A leader-type among the demon dragon riders shot toward Kaisha.
Countless dragons and demons trailed right behind.
A near-vertical climb.
[“Huh? Where the hell are those assholes headed?”]
[“What, they clocked the guild master?!”]
[“No way.”]
The guild panicked.
[“Whoa, new suicide strat?”]
Kaisha's green eyes gleamed sharp, denser green bolts than usual blasting out fast and plummeting down.
[Gunfire Tearing Through the Darkness]
Amid a scene like rain pouring down.
Whoosh.
Kaisha vanished from the lofty sky, materializing smack in the enemy horde's heart.
The longsword in her grip—radiating an eerie glow—whirled twelve times in a blistering 3D arc.
That instant, mana bullets rained from above, skewering foes and detonating.
Shwaaaa—
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat—!!!
The onrushing black dragons splattered into mush, and a colossal blast ripped through Lowguard's skies.
KABOOM—!!!!!!
[“Ah, figures. Guess they went for it.”]
[“Didn't wanna live, huh.”]
[“Solid group suicide performance.”
Fullminak guildies hovering nearby clucked their tongues, while ground-pounders erupted in cheers at the fireworks show.
Waaaaah—!!
Kaisha punched through the inferno of the blast, popping an AoE skill for the fresh-logged rearguard players.
Fwoooosh—
One gesture blanketed a vast swath in wide-area buffs.
Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat—
Bang-bang-bang! Bang-bang!!
Flash!
Crackle-crack!!
Demons unloaded guns and every spell in the book, but nothing tagged Kaisha.
She'd just mulched a stupid number of them, drawing every demon in the vicinity straight at her.
[“Guild master, want us tanking support?”]
[“You solo like a beast anyway.”]
Nearby guildies checked in.
As Kaisha opened her mouth to wave it off, a blue flash erupted from below, vaporizing everything in her path.
KABOOM—!!!
“!”
Kaisha's eyes went wide.
She looked down—and locked eyes with piercing blue.
“…….”
Dart, who'd unleashed the super-wide lightning, shot her a quick glance upward.
Dart broke eye contact and fired off another brutal AoE nuke.
[Black Lightning Thrilling with Madness]
Black lines cracked across the void like shattering glass, shredding the graphics.
KABOOM—!!!
The second Dart scrubbed the front, fresh demons dragged dragons his way.
Gutless, apparently.
Dart maxed out crowds with AoE spells, then blinked in to carve through the stragglers.
[“Yo, this might wrap faster than thought? Demons are all-in on the group kamikaze vibe.”]
[“Hellbent on dying, swarming the guild masters.”]
[“Gilgamesh side's lighting up too.”]
[“Homing in on neuroforce?”]
Fullminak chatter filled the air.
Just like they said, demons zeroed in harder on the guild masters.
Like they knew exactly who the real bosses were.
Kaisha, higher up in the sky than Dart, unleashed an ultimate.
[Dynamite Racing Across the Heavens]
Shwaa—
Sizzle—
Green mana spread dense as lightning veins, fanning out wide.
Pinpoint calibration.
Demons and dragons, drawn like moths to the pinpointed neuroforce flare, packed into the broad net.
Kaisha didn't so much as twitch as they bore down.
Dart, head snapping up at the massive AoE's ultra-dense mana thrum, scowled and blinked far out of range.
Demons mobbed thick to dogpile Kaisha.
[“Full house.”]
Kali nailed it short and sweet.
Like she'd been waiting for the perfect moment, Kaisha's green eyes ignited with mana.
Boom—
A bassy blast quaked from sky to soil, followed by a cataclysmic roar slamming heaven and earth.
KABOOOOOM—!!!
BOOM—!!!
The stratospheric AoE reached all the way down.
Ground monsters popped like balloons; a few players ate fatal hits and logged out.
But the players lost it over the nightmare fuel skill.
Woooaaah—!!!
[“Holy shit. Un-fucking-real.”]
[“Why's it keep scaling up?”]
[“Neuroforce caps? What caps?”]
[“Guild master's been sandbagging strategically hardcore.”]
That's when the alert hit players' HUDs.
Ding!
[You've culled Lowguard's demons below critical mass!]
[Demon King (error code:⑉⑆⑈) descends.]
* * *
Meanwhile, the live stream rolled on.
Player exodus hadn't tanked the views—plenty stuck around.
Overseas crowds kept trickling in, numbers climbing back up.
[Whoa]
[Massacre more than war?]
[That was my fave panties tho....]
[Too damn cool gonna die fr]
[Kaisha how much you been hiding;; AoE buffs nukes output like x10 normal;;]
[How demons sniffing out guild leads?]
[40s here all my buds glued to this couldn't go nowhere today]
[Game's a straight movie]
[Legit > World Cup]
[Casters in there getting godka vibes fighting hype af?? Jellyㅠㅠㅠ]
[Wanna jump in but eyes glued]
[Godisha. Sums it all up.]
[Guild leads drip explosion]
[But why Dart suddenly tailing our sis?? Siege ends I marry sis you don't know??]
[Dart plot twist lmao]
[What even is this game's deal?]
[Raid clear incoming quick]
[Kaisha's sky nuke hitting ground real??]
[As in heaven so on earth...]
[Kaisha's true face curious af. Who's the player irl? Someone interview pls]
[It's god]
[Sis marry me pls]
[Polygamy it is. Gotta fit the girls too lol]
[lmaoooo]
The streamer cracked up reading comments.
[“Damn, live chat's wild. Unity off the charts. Could legit start a cult?”]
Then the feed zoomed.
Sudden cut to Lowguard's blackened earth.
[“Huh?”]
A massive pitch-black shadow rippled within, shaking the ground hard.
Ruuuumble—
Boom-boom—
Quake caught off-guard players stumbling.
The ominous shadow blazed across the turf to the Midgard-Lowguard midpoint in a blink.
VR realness hit hard.
The human-crushing dark behemoth ghosting underground sent chills; surface players shuddered and brushed their arms.
[“There it is—final boss Demon King inbound.”]
Rooooaaar—
A roar shaking the pillars of heaven and earth.
Right by Kaisha and Dart, the colossal shadow heaved its bulk upward.
[“……Holy.”]
The fill-in caster's jaw dropped.
Irresistible majesty, jaw-dropping realism—caster's face turned dead serious.
Shocked player faces filled the screen vivid.
The mountain-hewn beast from below kept manifesting, rising slow.
Sucking up underground debris like a magnet, ballooning bigger.
Sprouting limbs swept sky and soil.
The Demon King, slathered head to toe in machine scraps and parts, crackled with moody-hued electricity.
[“Rankers swarming—raid comps forming.”]
Fullminak kicked off team-ups.
Spaceking and Goldbunker guildies zipped in fast.
But the Lowguard horror, bellowing a sky-splitting roar as it rocketed upward, had its sights locked on Bipa's neuroforce apex,
Kaisha.
