Chapter 179
-But what is Kaiser doing?
A somewhat out-of-the-blue remark.
But the ripple effect it caused was beyond expectations.
-Kaiser? Why bring up Kaiser all of a sudden?
-Kaiser's in Pratel too.
-Oh yeah, he is. First hidden raid boss and he didn't join? Bad blood or something?
-They're not on good terms lololol
-Something about him getting a quest from Luriel. Main quest theory floating around.
-Oh, I heard that too. Wait, hold up. So it's really the main quest and he's too busy clearing it to join?
-Wut? Main? Kaiser main quest?
-Holy shit!!! For real!?
The chat exploded with Kaiser talk in an instant.
Not just Koreans—even foreigners were hooked.
The connection between Kaiser and the main quest right now carried that much weight.
'Damn...!'
Jerpak grew urgent.
Truth be told, even he was curious, but this atmosphere wasn't good.
Right now, Hero Guild needed to be the stars, not Kaiser.
If the chat derailed into Kaiser talk, all the hard-earned viewers would flock to him instead.
'Can't let that happen.'
He didn't even want to imagine Berge's scolding.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
"Alright, everyone, let's push a bit harder! We're almost there. Just a little further to Luidra's lair."
"Yes!!"
"Uwaaaah!"
Jerpak clapped to shift the topic, and fortunately, viewers naturally dropped Kaiser and focused on Luidra.
-Hey hey, Luidra boutta get wrecked soon.
-Clear speed is insane. First try and they're this fast? With scrubs no less.
-Look close—not all scrubs. Frontliners' gear is top-tier. Still fast even accounting for that.
-Jerpak's got solid command.
-Thought he was just good at PvP and duels, but raid leading too? Finding first hidden raid boss means intel's on point.
-Hero Guild ain't top 100 for nothing.
Foreign reactions were heating up too.
-Luidra?? Hidden? True?? What the fuck!
-Huh? Hero crew? Wow, good job!!
-Foreigners piling in lololol Hero Guild name spreading proper.
-Lots of foreigners know Berge but not Hero Guild. Berge's mouth gotta be ear-to-ear lololol
-Fr fr lololol
Foreigners kept bringing up Hero Guild, drawing interest, and its name spread worldwide in real-time.
Viewer count proved it.
[Viewers: 31.51 million]
It surged exponentially, blowing past 20 million to 30 million in a flash.
At this rate, 100 million wasn't impossible.
Hitting 100 million viewers was top 10 guild solo raid territory—that was huge.
And if they cleared?
Hero Guild would be etched globally.
No wonder Berge was grinning ear to ear.
[Berge: Good, love the crowd control. Doing great. Boss soon? Stick to practice.]
[Jerpak: Yes, got it.]
[Berge: Remember the top exec promotion promise if we nail this. Give it your all.]
[Jerpak: Yes! I will!]
Whisper done, Jerpak overlooked the assault team clashing with golems above, fist clenched.
'Yes...!'
Top executive.
Positions held by guild founding pillars from day one.
Even scraping the bottom rung was massive perks.
Better revenue shares, raid and event slots.
Plus untouchable power inside the guild.
'Nail this and life's set.'
How much debt from that Rinnichi flop?
Jerpak nearly checked Han River temps over billions in debt.
Late starter in God Ose, lucked into Berge's eye as super rookie—six months nurtured.
Now eyeing top exec? Overwhelming.
Proud of himself.
'Won't make me top exec right away, but who cares.'
Just a matter of time.
Raise him to bare-minimum credible level, and boom—top exec.
"1st Squad, legion from right—hold it! 2nd and 3rd up front. 4th left, 5th and 6th flank support!"
"Yes!!"
That fueled Jerpak's fiery commands.
Spot-on orders had assault team following without question, impressed.
"Wow, Jerpak ain't just a fighter."
"View from up top?"
Child's play for ex-Rinnichi lord Jerpak.
Why Berge saw his talent.
Thanks to that?
Crises aplenty, but all crushed flawlessly—reaching the goal soon.
Ding-
[Successfully completed Luidra Legion assault.]
[Ranks assigned by contribution score. Rewards distributed by rank.]
[Ranks]
-1st place......
-11th place......
....
"Nice! I'm score #1!"
"Argh... 11th sucks. 5 more points for upgraded rewards."
"Wow, 74th after this? Still fun though."
Some cheered triumph, some sighed regret.
Others just content with the experience.
Varied reactions, but all positive.
Viewers too.
-Kinda like watching noobs react. Heartwarming.
-When else they get this? Must be thrilled.
-Yeah... Raids ain't for everyone. Hero Guild cooler for sharing. Coulda hogged it.
-Fr, top 10 would've locked it. First raid boss—who shares?
-Hero Guild blowing up post-this.
Barely any hate—all praise.
Savoring the vibe was brief.
-So, epilogue done?
-Big one coming?
-Main dish when? Jerpak bro, five diapers ready.
-Fr hurry... Dizzy here.
Chats shifted one by one, soon buzzing with anticipation.
No wonder.
[Start raid for hidden raid boss, 'Terrifying Nightmare, Luidra'?]
[Luidra raid limited to 15 or fewer.]
[Confirmed first discovered raid boss. First-kill bonuses on defeat.]
[Guaranteed Luidra-related gear item on defeat.]
Luidra raid imminent.
One step away.
"Alright, Luidra raid time! Assault team, keep golems from us like before."
"Yes!"
All eyes on it, Jerpak boldly stepped up to match hype.
Trial squad followed.
One by one, fifteen entered—message popped.
[Hidden raid boss, 'Terrifying Nightmare Luidra' allows max 15 entrants.]
[Party confirmed.]
[Dream barrier forms in Luidra's lair.]
A translucent barrier split assault and trial teams.
Same space, different realms.
Absolute barrier—no interference except Luidra and entrants.
[Foolish humans come again, craving eternal dreams?]
Seductive woman's voice echoed.
Source: above.
Massive eye in barrier storm clouds glared down. Chilling sight mismatched the voice—goosebumps.
Boom! Thud! Rumble!
Huge tombstone crashed to ground.
It glowed, dyeing landscape rapeseed hues.
Sky purple, scarlet, white swirled; ground psychedelic dream.
Barrier world now alien realm of clashing colors.
Swoosh-
Woman emerged amid it.
Stunning beauty that drew gasps. Alluring aura captivating men.
Mythic succubus vibe, giant scythe in hand.
[Encountered Terrifying Nightmare and Witch of Dreams, Luidra.]
[Luidra]
-Title: Hidden Named Raid Boss
-Type: Witch
-Traits: Dream Realm, Nightmare Realm
-Description: Master of Nightmares who grants sweet dreams to some, horrors to others; Witch of Dreams.
Ancient, immense power.
But died for unknown reason long ago, awoke early from slumber—power incomplete.
[Luidra raid begins.]
Raid start—landscape-altering scale—chat went wild.
-Wow, fuxk!! Real Pratel boss?
-Hul. Named too? Hidden named? Insane fr.
-Eye aura shaking... Die to that boss? Worth it?
-That... uh, maybe? Looks good...
-Eye girl kill me.
-Scythe-wielding seductive black-haired porcelain beauty? That's my type.
-Pratel scale like this. Visual novel dude delivered. Rewatch 20x planned.
Unprecedented boss with massive effects—eyes glued.
Viewers hooked; imagine assault team live.
"Insane..."
"Raid boss...? This level's different!"
"We fighting that? Same level range?"
"No fear. Look at their eyes. Hero Guild?"
"Not just anyone gets exec."
Chilling dreamlike aura.
Yet they entered combat stance mechanically—pure awe.
VR or not, that pressure felt real.
Amid gasps, raid launched.
[Welcomed to my paradise... time for punishment!]
Kyahahahahaha!!!
Ear-splitting woman's laugh; huge eye closed.
Dreamscape birthed massive orb.
[Phase 1 begins.]
[Hidden raid boss Luidra activates trait 'Dream Realm.']
Luidra's signature: Dream Realm.
Randomly invites one to Dream Realm for 1v1 with her essence.
Her turf—can't win.
Overpowered, but with one weakness.
'Dream Essence drops for brief free-deal window.'
After 1 min invite, essence spawns—grab it, real Luidra freezes.
~10 seconds.
Precious free-deal time in raids.
15 max nukes in 10s = massive damage.
'Save skills, endure, nuke on free-deal.'
Repeat.
Memorize patterns—no mistakes.
How many clashes to memorize?
'Phase 2 tricky... but wake that specter, we're good.'
Sole counter: awaken sealed specter, breeze through Phase 2.
"Do it like practice."
"Yes, Jerpak."
"You know she's named. No do-overs. No mistakes."
"Yes, sir!"
Named boss.
One-shot permanent.
Why Hero Guild publicized, broadcasted, scaled huge.
First and last try.
Post-this, Luidra Hero Guild exclusive via stream.
'No room for error.'
Succeed, glorify Hero Guild, claim top exec!
Eyes blazing, Jerpak readied.
[Player 'Graide' invited to Dream Realm.]
[Irresistible invitation received.]
[Graide forcibly relocated.]
'Perfect. Graide's solid—exec material.'
Opportune: Graide, skilled exec.
Good flow.
Jerpak smirked, gripped sword tight—
-Huh? What's that? Something weird falling from the sky?
