>There are people like that.
People who change the atmosphere just by showing up.
Even on a battlefield on the verge of defeat, where morale has completely crumbled, their mere presence can boost spirits sky-high.
That's what battlefield heroes were like, and the mythical heroes too.
Berge had admired such figures since childhood.
He'd dreamed of becoming one someday.
That's why he'd named his guild Hero Guild.
"Ah, it's over! We're saved!"
"The Master's here!"
"Kaiser, you're done for now!"
In that sense, Berge could say he'd achieved his dream.
His arrival had dramatically shifted the mood.
The guild members, who'd been pushed all the way underground, now had their morale soaring endlessly.
Do-hyun and the Guardians focused on him too.
Everyone here was looking at Berge.
-The final boss has arrived.
-This... it's over.
-Berze looks so different from his streams. The aura is insane.
-After watching his guild get shredded by Kaiser, seeing Berze is a whole other level.
-You think the 100th Guild Master looks like some hotpants ice fisher? Different weight class, man.
Even the viewers watching the stream.
Berge, drawing all the attention, strolled forward leisurely, locking eyes with Kaiser.
And behind him, a massive legion slowly revealed itself.
Step, step, step, step.
Hundreds strong, they formed neat ranks.
Among them, the hundred up front stood out especially—they were nothing like the guild members Do-hyun had faced.
From their more menacing aura to their gleaming gear.
-The elite combatants are here.
-Hero Guild's real strength starts with their elites. Kaiser's screwed.
-Is the gap really that big? He was mowing down regular members 100-to-1.
-Ten regular combatants couldn't take down one elite. And ten elites couldn't handle one officer.
-...Insane. So a hundred of those elites? With the regulars behind, that's gotta be 400.
-But no officers or vice master?
-Their schedule's tomorrow, so they couldn't come right away, I guess.
Astr, watching the stream, sighed at the nonstop chat.
"Sigh, this is rough..."
When he first tuned in and saw the assault on the main base, Astr had been genuinely shocked.
Kaiser, that madman, pulling off another crazy stunt. He'd never imagined an empty-base raid in that situation.
Then the battle unfolded, and he was stunned.
'That guy's... level 12 reinforcement? Accessories are all purple too?'
Armor probably 12 too.
He'd half-doubted the story of beating Leon in reinforcement wars, but there it was, plain proof.
Curious how that unlucky bastard pulled it off, but the real shock was the fight itself.
Groooar— Groooar—
The robed guy treating the Lawless clan's boss like a Legion Leader.
Charlie fluidly wielding his sword to hold aggro tight.
A spider occasionally firing webs to restrict movement.
'...Those are Guardians? Not divine beasts?'
Every one exceeded Guardian standards.
Divine beast level—no, maybe even better in some ways.
But the standout was Kaiser himself.
'That bastard... skills as sharp as ever.'
No, sharper even.
It looked like raw specs overpowering, but veteran Purple Uncle, who'd partied with Kaiser often, could see it.
The perfect distance control and mind games securing advantageous positions, pushing Fierce Slash to its limits.
'Get caught in his rhythm once, and you're done for endlessly.'
And that was just the start.
Ice magic, debuffs galore, backstabs too—nightmare fuel for them.
Hard to run, impossible to fight head-on.
He almost felt sorry for them now.
'Amazing every time. Which god did he pick? Trait's a mystery. Even with reinforcements, that damage doesn't add up...'
The guy shows up transformed after ages, questions piling up.
At the same time, he caught himself hoping.
'Can he actually win? Is he showing us?'
Hoping that madman pulls off another impossibility.
Hoping for that usual smirk and "It was doable, so I did it."
But that hope ended now.
"You brought quite the crowd."
"...You raided our main base—didn't you prepare for this?"
"Bringing that many and still acting high and mighty? Come on."
One Berze was already overwhelming; now hundreds more poured in.
A hundred elites at that.
Even Kaiser couldn't overcome this sheer numbers gap.
Yet Kaiser's unflinching confidence furrowed Berze's brow.
"Don't get the wrong idea. This is extermination, not a duel. And... you have a weakness, despite appearances."
"?"
"Tying down the vice master and officers, then raiding while I'm at the press conference... Brilliant strategy."
Kaiser—Do-hyun—blinked at the sudden praise.
'What the hell? Tying down? What tying down?'
Sure, seeing Berze at the presser sparked the empty-base idea.
Today beat tomorrow when all forces gathered.
Spotting no officers or vice master, he'd thought it perfect.
'...Come to think of it, they were muttering about no officers coming.'
Something wrong?
Both sides puzzled, but no time for that now.
"Anyway, that's over too. See my legion?"
Hundreds glared murderously, itching to kill him.
-It's done.
-Need some hope to cheer, but this... too overwhelming, speechless.
-Yeah... can't take a guild solo. Holding out this long is impressive.
-Lost well, honestly.
-70 million viewers agree.
-What? Already that many?
-Skyrocketed after Berze showed.
Viewers gave up cleanly too.
As the chat said, no point hoping against such odds—lost for words.
Hence, some inner regret.
-Ah, wanted to see 1v1.
-Yeah. Berze vs Kaiser—who wins?
-Still wondering? Level gap's huge—Berze obviously.
-But he went 100-to-1 solo, maybe?
-Still saying that crap? Don't ruin the vibe.
-Fr real, no point talking that here.
Berze vs Kaiser.
The hot community debate since they clashed.
Berze favored heavily before, but this fight swayed some to Kaiser.
Post-fight, Kaiser vanishes from history.
Viewers couldn't help regretting the missed showdown.
"One-on-one, huh..."
Kaiser didn't brush off what he could've ignored.
He even smiled oddly, like he welcomed it.
"Lots curious, I guess. Who'd win between him and me."
"...Pointless talk. Won't happen, Kaiser."
"Will it...?"
"...?"
"If they're curious, I should show them. One-on-one."
Berze froze at the loaded tone.
His instincts, Pavlov's dog to this stuff, screamed.
Something felt off.
"Everyone, attack Kaiser right no—!"
Too late.
Before Berze finished, Do-hyun spoke first.
"...Blessing of the Guardian God."
Berze's eyes bulged.
Astr watching the stream matched him.
[Astr: No way, insane. He's using THAT!?]
He spammed a million-won donation in disbelief.
-Lol wtf dealer using that?
-Never saw it coming lol. Dealer with this = balance break.
-Wow, no wonder so confident. Kaiser's got a plan.
-Kaiser? Casual af.
-Ah, K-Kaiser-nim always has a plan...!
Chat exploded into laughter instantly.
All because of one skill.
[The Blessing of the Guardian God has activated.]
[Designated against Player 'Berze'.]
[Only 'Berze' can damage you.]
[While in combat with 'Berze', all defense, magic resistance, and health massively increase. Skill cooldowns reduced by 20%.]
[Immune to knockbacks while blessed.]
"M-Master. That shield and sword icon over his head... Gasp, it's over you too."
"No way..."
They gawked at the icons floating over Berze and Do-hyun.
Do-hyun confirmed it.
"That 'no way' is right."
"...You damn bastard."
Berze gnashed his teeth.
Instantly grasped why the bastard was so cocky.
No one in Gaotose didn't know this skill.
[Blessing of the Guardian God]
-Rank: Legendary
-Restriction: Tank classes
-Description: The blessing bestowed by the Guardian God to protect tanks who endure countless blows at the forefront.
Those blessed by the Guardian God are said to stand unshaken against any attack.

Skill cooldowns reduced by 20%, immune to knockbacks.
Unless afflicted by special effects, blessing persists until one dies or caster cancels.
-However, blessing ends if mana depletes.
-Cooldown: 1004 seconds
The legendary skill symbolizing tanks—the only way for them to duel.
Do-hyun's second legendary skill, taking a slot over bleeds.
The tank lifeline skill, now activated in All-Master Do-hyun's hands.
Crackle—
Cloaked head to toe in Thunder Dragon power.
Do-hyun, the first in Gaotose history to don both Thunder Dragon Descent and Blessing of the Guardian God, grinned.
"Then let's start the Berze one-on-one stream."
The stream title changed instantly.
[Berze VS Kaiser]
The moment the long-awaited matchup was forcibly realized.
