Fine, Let's Say the Legendary Class Is What It Is

Fine, let's say the Legendary Class was what it was. The class name was weird, and even though it was a Legendary Class...

No, but seriously, why did it have to take away and delete an Authority I already had?

Authority skills were among the absolute best skills in the game. Specifically, his Authority of the Ancient Vampire skill. Since its level was still low, he could only control weak monsters, but Tae-hyun had been steadily leveling it up.

But for these Authorities to merge and turn into Rabbit Domination?

If it wasn't an incredibly amazing skill, this was a massive loss. And no matter how he looked at it, a skill called Rabbit Domination didn't sound like it would be that great!

Hmm...

Skills in Pan-On were divided into two categories: those that were easy to understand, and those that were difficult to understand. For skills with difficult and unfriendly descriptions, one had to use them directly to figure them out.

Rabbit Domination was a textbook example of the latter.

Now that I think about it, getting involved with rabbits in the first place was my first mistake.

"Kim Tae-hyun!!! You bastard!! I'll kill you!!"

Shouts from the guild members echoed from far away. Of course, Tae-hyun ignored them and remained lost in thought.

"Kim Tae-hyun! Are you listening?! If you can hear me, come out and fight like a man! I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!"

"Uh, Count Kim Tae-hyun. They're saying something over there..."

"Ignore them. Tell them I'll fight them one-on-one only if I find myself at an overwhelming disadvantage."

Rabbit Domination.

Tae-hyun activated the skill first. That seemed like the only way to figure out what it did.

Ah, so that's how it works?

It allowed him to use multiple rabbit-related skills as a single skill. It was indeed a powerful Authority skill. In Pan-On, where players had to go through all kinds of tedious quests and annoying tasks just to acquire a single skill, an Authority that consolidated multiple skills into one was extremely rare.

Furthermore, as the skill level rose, wouldn't the number of related skills increase as well?

If only it weren't related to rabbits!

Imagine if that Authority was a dragon-related skill.

Summon Undead Dragon, Giantize Dragon, Explode Dragon, Dragon Shield, Dragon Control...

Just thinking about those words made his heart race!

But what lay before him were rabbits, and Tae-hyun had no choice but to use them.

"Tsk. Summon Undead Rabbit."

Unlike other undead, rabbits were treated as monsters associated with Luck. And when it came to Luck, Tae-hyun was practically a god himself!

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone present stood with their mouths agape.

Something massive and writhing began to rise from the ruined streets.

It was a literal army of undead rabbits.

"W-what on earth is that...?"

"As expected of Count Kim Tae-hyun!"

The dark mages, seeing Tae-hyun summon and command an unimaginably massive horde of rabbits as undead, looked at him with eyes full of deep admiration.

Of course, the rest of his companions did not share that sentiment.

Wait, why rabbits?

Is there any actual reason to use rabbits as undead?

I don't get it...

But no one dared to ask.

Because Tae-hyun had an expression on his face that clearly screamed, 'Ask me and you die.'

"Kim Tae-hyuuuun!!"

Whoosh!

From the opposite side of the street, a few battered guild members appeared. They had somehow managed to fight their way through the undead sweeping the city to reach this spot.

They were afflicted with various curses, and their HP was below half, but their eyes burned with a fierce fire.

They would absolutely not let it end like this!

They were going to land at least one solid blow on Kim Tae-hyun!

"Aaaaargh!"

"?!"

"They're fast!"

Whatever skill they had activated, the guild members' speed was no joke. Seeing this, Tae-hyun's companions panicked.

"Wait, over there is..."

"It's too late for regrets now!"

Seeing the panic on the faces of Tae-hyun's group, the guild members inwardly pumped their fists. This was their chance to strike these off-guard bastards...

"?!?!?"

Clatter, clatter, clatter!

The moment their feet touched the ground, something began to attack them relentlessly.

"What the?!"

Losing 1 HP was a completely meaningless attack. However, the sheer numbers were terrifying. On top of that, if they got their feet tied down in this situation...

"What do you think you're doing?"

"H-hello there, sir."

As Tae-hyun approached and pointed his sword at them, polite honorifics naturally slipped from their mouths!

"Didn't you just scream my name like you wanted to murder me?"

"Well, you see, we've always respected and admired you from afar, so actually seeing you in person made us so happy that..."

"Oh. Is that so? Then tell me about the current state of your guild."

"Pardon?"

"Your guild's situation. I'm sure they're talking about all sorts of things in the guild chat right now."

Tae-hyun's prediction was spot on. Inside the Guild Alliance, an immense volume of messages was currently flying back and forth.

Of course, no such skill existed.

The Guild Alliance was thrown into utter chaos by the shameless excuses of the two brothers, Neure and Neupe!

Su Ning watched this unfold with mixed emotions.

These brainless blockheads... Is this how other people felt when they looked at me?

Normally, he would have shouted, "I will lead the charge! Let's catch Kim Tae-hyun together!" But not this time.

The more mistakes the others made, the higher Su Ning's position would rise.

Su Ning had already begun working behind the scenes.

By bribing and recruiting other guild leaders, he was expanding his own faction within the Guild Alliance!

The Guild Alliance? It's too mediocre. I... will go higher. Upward! Even higher!

The guild leader of the strongest guild in Pan-On. That was Su Ning's ultimate ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠goal.

The number one ranker? No matter how strong he is, he's just one person. True power lies in the collective!

Trials make a person grow.

Getting beaten by Tae-hyun, beaten again, beaten yet again, and then beaten some more...

In any case, Su Ning had been beaten a ridiculous number of times!

Though he would deny it himself, it was thanks to those trials that Su Ning was constantly growing.

"So, are they on their way?"

"Yes. They're gathering people from behind to surround you..."

Salmaran City was a city located on the outermost edge of the Guild Alliance's territory.

It seemed the Guild Alliance was gathering players from the direction Tae-hyun had come from in order to completely encircle him.

"Hmm. I see."

"What are you going to do? We can still pull back right now."

"No. We're going deeper."

"..."

He had spent a fortune in contribution points to rent these dark ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠mages; he had absolutely no intention of retreating after destroying just one city.

They were going further in!

"H-how are we going to get out when we're done?"

"We'll worry about that when the time comes. For now, let's focus on breaking and destroying as much as we can."

"Hey...!"

In the meantime, a message window popped up in front of Tae-hyun.

"Take all the gold, grab all the items in the warehouse... Sheesh, is this all? Are they beggars?"

Most of the items had been destroyed when Tae-hyun wrecked the city, but of course, he didn't care about such details.

"Great. Got everything! Let's go!"

"W-we're just leaving?!"

The Power Warrior guild members, Baher, and Baher's friends were utterly shocked.

He had gone through all that trouble to capture a territory, and he was just going to leave it behind?

Other guilds struggled so desperately just to obtain a single territory!

"Then what else would we do?"

"Now that we have a territory, we should occupy it, repair it, defend it, and cultivate it..."

"As if that would work. This place is bound to fall the moment they swarm us, no matter how well we defend it. Let's trash it all and go!"

"Master! As expected of you, Master!"

Tae-hyun abandoned the city and moved on without a single shred of hesitation.

Unlike other players, Tae-hyun was never greedy about these kinds of things.

To just throw away a city like that...!

Doesn't he find it wasteful at all?!

If the other players thought about it calmly, they would realize it too.

If they tried to hold onto a territory in this location, they would only end up severely hurt later on.

And yet, human greed was a powerful thing!

Giving up a territory like this was something very few could actually bring themselves to do.

"Let's move! We still have plenty of places left to destroy!"

The massive undead army commanded by the dark mages, which they had acquired in Salmaran City.

On the surface, it looked like a terrifying army.

If one ignored the undead rabbits and normal rabbits trailing behind them, that is!

"Kim Tae-hyun is fighting the Guild Alliance...! This is definitely a sign! He's telling us to rise up and fight alongside him!"

"Uh, Guild Leader, did you receive a message?"

"No."

"Then how...?"

"We didn't need messages. Our hearts are connected!"

I highly doubt that...

The leader of the Woodstock Guild gathered his members.

They had once belonged to the Guild Alliance, but after the previous incident, they had been kicked out and turned into a landless guild!

Furthermore, due to a skill, their race had changed to Demons, requiring them to spend a lot of time adapting.

Fortunately, they had managed to adapt to some extent by now.

As they leveled up, their race had also evolved in its own way.

"If we don't move now, when will we? We're moving out!"

"But Kim Tae-hyun didn't say anything. Is it really okay for us to move on our own? What if we get in trouble later..."

"You bastards, seriously. Don't you want to reclaim our territory?!"

"We do, but..."

"Look! Look at these demons here!"

"..."

Winged demons were posing as statues with gloomy expressions.

These were the demons Tae-hyun had abandoned when he successfully finished the Galgral raid and fled from the rankers.

Of course, they had no choice but to flee alongside the Woodstock Guild.

"The fact that he left the demons he commanded in our care... What greater proof of Kim Tae-hyun's trust in us could there be?!"

No matter how I think about it...

That's definitely not it...

The relatively new guild members still held onto their sanity.

Thanks to that, they were able to make rational judgments even in this situation!

But the others were not.

"Let's go! Let's go! We're going to reclaim our territory!"

"Long live the Guild Leader!"
