C-Grade Shelter Plunder War (2)
Kang Chan-seong hyungnim. Which bastards used the Shelter Plunder Ticket?
"Hahaha. Crazy, right? Who are they?"
"World's Strongest Guild."
"World's Strongest?"
Kang Chan-seong's eyebrows twitched at the name.
In Busan, the current top 2 in the tower and top 4 nationally.
An unmistakable guild.
"Yes. Kim Min-sung of this guild is leading the Death's Tower event."
"Kim Min-sung."
A name with undeniable fame.
It's impossible not to know Kim Min-sung.
Member of the Death's Tower.
Currently South Korea's rank 2.
Guild master of World's Strongest Guild.
And he appeared in videos that the entire nation saw.
"This is going to be fun. Send the message."
"Understood."
World's Strongest Guild has designated the plunder of the current shelter.
Will you participate in the defense battle? Y/N
If you do not participate in the defense battle, the ownership of the shelter will be transferred to World's Strongest Guild.
Kang Chan-seong accepted the defense battle without hesitation.
After all, this was the only C-grade shelter in the entire country.
Abandoning it was out of the question.
The plunder war has been established.
Deciding the event type for the plunder war.
A roulette wheel appeared for the plunder war.
Spinning and spinning, it eventually stopped and pointed to a single word.
Mass Slaughter
"This plunder war is Mass Slaughter."
"The number of participants in this plunder war is 5."
"Select five people, and have the selected guild members prepare."
"You will move to the location where the siege battle will take place tomorrow."
"Mass Slaughter, huh."
Kang Chan-seong nodded, pleased with the event type.
"Okay. Gather the members."
"Yes, understood."
His subordinate turned to leave the room, but Kang Chan-seong called out again as if remembering something.
"Oh, and contact Geum Bit-na-ra as I mentioned before."
"Understood."
The subordinate closed the door behind him.
Kang Chan-seong clasped his hands and pondered something deeply.
"Now, how should I cook that bastard who bit the bait?"
"They accepted on the other side. The event type is Mass Slaughter. How are you going to decide the participants?"
"I need to think about it a little."
Mass Slaughter.
Looking through the bulletin board, this Mass Slaughter was a competition to see who could reduce the number of spawning monsters the most.
'Then the people who will go here...'
The most suitable people for Mass Slaughter.
"Me, Jin-hwan, Ah-ra, Jin-ri, that should be it?"
With the current power, those were the ones who could deal the broadest attacks, and with high levels, that was the limit.
"Who should I put in the last spot?"
After selecting about four, the last spot was still a problem.
"Min-cheol would be the best fit?"
While the area attack was a bit lacking, Min-cheol's firepower would be enough to kill a large number of monsters.
Just as they were about to decide the last spot was Min-cheol,
"I can recommend one more."
While I was thinking about the participants, Kang Hyuk offered to recommend someone.
"Who?"
"Ji-ah."
"Huh? Ji-ah?"
The person Kang Hyuk mentioned was truly unexpected.
"Yeah. With Ji-ah's ability, it would be most suitable for this event type."
"Hyung. No matter what, she's still a kid. She can't control her ability well yet."
Of course, Ji-ah's ability was very suitable for the Mass Slaughter event type.
But Ji-ah's ability, which wasn't well controlled yet, could actually become poison for us.
"What if she can control her ability?"
"Huh?"
"Ji-ah has started controlling her ability by herself."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
If Ji-ah could truly control her own ability, she would definitely shine in this event type, but the worry was that there was no way to know what would happen if there was a mistake in control.
"Still, isn't it a bit too much?"
"Ji-ah seems like she wants to help too. She always says she's only receiving help."
"Even at that young age, her thoughts are deep..."
Ji-ah, who had always received help from us and whose remorse had grown, had worked hard to control her ability whenever Jin-hwan was there.
"Okay. Since Jin-hwan and I will be there, there won't be any big problem."
"Okay. Then I'll tell the kids?"
"Yeah. Please, hyung."
After Kang Hyuk left, they continued researching the Mass Slaughter event type through the bulletin board.
And the next day.
The time for the plunder war was gradually approaching.
And the five gathered people.
"Ssaem. It's been a while. We're all gathered like this."
"Yeah. You've all grown a lot."
"Of course. We're almost ready to advance classes."
"Already?"
Ah-ra and Jin-ri also seemed to have leveled up quite a bit while being here.
In a situation where fewer than thirty people had advanced classes nationwide, this was almost top-tier power.
"The senior advanced yesterday, right?"
"Of course. I'll carry in this plunder war, so watch."
Jin-hwan had reached level 30 and completed his advancement.
Even though he was busy with the Death's Tower, how had he leveled up so much.
This guy was really amazing too.
Jin-hwan, who had newly advanced and was determined to crush this plunder war, said,
"But it's not a healer class anyway, right?"
"..."
"Yeah. Then it would be hard to carry, wouldn't it?"
"...Aren't you guys just supposed to cheer us on?"
Of course, Jin-hwan's advancement was a healer class.
What was it called.
Tyrant Healer (?)
While there was a bit of offensive ability, Jin-hwan was still specialized in the healer class.
"But there's attribute conversion, right?"
"Yeah. Didn't you give that ability to some leftover dragon?"
Thanks to attribute conversion, Jin-hwan's attack power was truly enormous.
That's why Jin-hwan was here for this event type.
"Ssaem. But are you really taking Ji-ah?"
Jin-hwan seemed worried about Ji-ah going to a dangerous place.
Of course, he knew how much Ji-ah had worked, but he couldn't shake the thought that it would be dangerous.
I stroked Ji-ah's head, who was clinging to my side, and said,
"Yeah. Ji-ah, you can do it, right?"
"Yeah! I can do it. I'll wipe them all out!"
"Haha. Really reliable?"
Ji-ah, with her big, round eyes, said she could do it.
Although Ji-ah spoke with firm confidence, it still sounded cute, and there was a slight doubt about whether Ji-ah could really do it.
But it was not possible to keep Ji-ah like a flower in a greenhouse forever.
There was no way this phenomenon happening now would not affect the kids.
For example, now that even young kids had abilities and were hunting monsters as a norm.
Ji-ah also needed to learn to protect her own body to some extent in case we couldn't help.
"But don't overdo it, okay?"
"Yeah! I got it."
With Ji-ah also fully prepared, and the message appearing in front of us.
5 minutes until the start of the plunder war (Mass Slaughter).
"It will start soon."
"I was so tense back then, but..."
When the plunder war against Cheonha Tongil Guild happened for the first time.
Back then, there was a huge sense of crisis that if we didn't protect the shelter, we might die, and we were extremely tense.
But after going through a few more plunder wars, we adapted to the current situation, so we weren't that tense anymore.
The time was gradually decreasing.
The plunder war will start soon. Prepare.
10. 9. 8....
"Ji-ah, don't overdo it, okay?"
"Yeah! I got it!"
"You guys don't overdo it either. It's okay if you lose."
"Yes, understood."
3. 2. 1.
"We moved?"
The place we were moved to.
If it was the Mass Slaughter location from the bulletin board, it was said to be a vast plain.
"Not a plain?"
"Yeah."
But the place we were moved to was a small room.
It looked a bit different from what was seen on the bulletin board.
"Did something change?"
"It seems so."
Since there was no door, we couldn't do anything, so we waited for a moment.
Then a message appeared.
Searching for a new location considering the participants' levels.
The previous Mass Slaughter location might not match our current levels.
"Haha. Damn. If the location changes, the strategy we prepared will be useless."
The situation where the strategy we worked hard to plan while staying up all night became completely useless.
While the new location was being searched,
Knock. Knock.
"Huh?"
A sound of someone knocking on the wall came from the side of the room.
"Who is it?"
"Khehehe. Who, you say? Kim Min-sung. Who else could be here besides your guild and ours."
The voice from the opposite side.
From how they were speaking, it was clear that the person was likely the guild master of the guild that had the C-grade shelter we had plundered.
Our side was also waiting for the new location to be decided, like these guys next to our room.
"Why did you make such conditions?"
"What conditions?"
"The conditions for entering the shelter."
"Ah, that? Because there are many people wanting to enter, that's why. You have to do that much."
Hearing that, I was dumbfounded.
Simply saying that because there were many people wanting to enter, you set the condition to kill people.
Was that even a reasonable thing to say?
"Are you saying that now?"
"What's the problem? Many people are already performing that condition to enter our shelter."
"...I'll crush you. Not only will I take your shelter, but I'll take your guild too."
I said it with sincerity.
People shouldn't do that.
In situations like this, even if people help each other, what kind of thing is that!
"Khehehe. You really are a gentleman. Then, let's make a bet. If you win this plunder war, well, the shelter will automatically transfer, so no need to worry, and I'll hand over our guild."
"What conditions do you want from the other side?"
"Well, nothing special. You take our guild. How about it? Let's bet our guilds."
At that, I fell into a moment of contemplation.
Handing over our guild.
Honestly, in terms of the value of the guild, the trade wouldn't hold.
But these guys' provocation.
We could ignore it, but if they had a guild, they would definitely do something like that again.
"You have confidence in winning?"
"Of course. Is that a problem?"
"Who are we?! We're World's Strongest, right?!"
Answering as if it was natural to my question.
Hearing that answer, I said to the guy,
"Yeah. Let's do it. Our guild."
Along with my words, the message appeared.
A new location has been decided.
Moving to the new location.
