Vol 8 Chapter 2 (1/2)
ACT 2 Final Winner?
“Heung, even with that it’s only going to extend the time until you lose Crush them!”
Raiden led the troops and rushed in Although 30 people died from the paladins’ surprise attacks, the Hermes Alliance still had around 100 peopleOn the other hand, with the paladins the Dawn Blade coalition only had 50 people The difference ice as e of the paladins weren’t that strongWhile on horseback outside the castle, their offensive dealt heavy daathered in the Hall of Glory were users with high defense It wasn’t so easy to hurt them No, since they had twice as e difference
“Ark, it is tio!”
“No, please wait a moment”
Ark stood in front of Jjak-tung and said In this situation it was clear that the Here but……
‘What on earth?’
Ark looked at Alan strangely Alan definitely looked uneasy beforeBut when the paladins appeared he ied He just sat back and watched the Hermes Alliance attack with a relaxed face It was like a subtle sense of provocation was co from him……!
Ark was soon able to confir
“Kill the enemies with the power of God, Divine Field!”
The moment the two troops were about to crash into each other, Alan used a wide areathe floor But the soldiers from the Herht skills were fairly well known It was natural because Alan was faic that only exerted a lethal force on the undeadHowever to nor skillIf it was dae received froe It was like a tickle for warriors with health around 3000 points
“Just ignore it!”
“Heh, he probably wants to savethese skills?”
“It is lucky that we’ve ht Alan into a corner”
The warriors snorted and laughed However, it didn’t take long until it turned into screa
“Divine field!”
The arhts abruptly became white and red hot at the same time the spell was chantedThe floor beca Alan it was 18 people! The divine field overlapped 18 tie!
“Keuahahak!”
The fierce warriors had their health decreased by half as they rapped in the blue flae quickly pulled out potions to recover froed from Raiden’s mouth
“What, what the? Isn’t Divine Field a special skill of the Holy Knight?”
“T-then……these guys are all Holy Knights?”
“No way!”
Cries of shock and distress burst frohly shook his head
“That’s iht is a hidden profession It isn’t possible to change professions so easily!”
“Yes, they ic to cheat!”
“Divine field has a long cool down”
“It le Don’t be scared to attack!”
The warriors swung their weapons and ran up again Then Alan smiled and murmured coldly
“It is certainly the last desperate struggle But that last struggle isn’t so so trivial Defense Aura, Eleth!”
He overlapped 3 of the Holy Knight’s special skills! Alan raised their defense, strength and ele their willpower and total health by 20 The Holy Knight’s skills were strongest in a group! But since there were 2 times as much troops it wouldn’t make that much differenceNo, it couldn’t be However……
“Defense aura, Eleth!”
Once again the knights’ ar the same skill? At the same time, the aura was overlapped 18 timesIt was an enormous boost in defense and health! Even the attacks of the level 180 pioneers weren’t able to properly hit In addition, the health went up so much that it didn’t even appear to decrease Since they were unable to hit the the other hts
“Come on, there is only 40 minutes left”
Alan said in a relaxed tone as he looked out theOn a hill far away, the hourglass that signalled the siege deadline was already reaching the bottom Alan only had to hold out for 40 e would’ve failed
“Everybody start shooting at once!”
After seeing the situation, Ark ordered the bombardht’s shi+elds
……It was truly inable!
“What, what is up with these ridiculous guys……!”
Raiden’s face darkened Since the knights protected Alan and the throne in a circular fore dealers such as o thanks to their low defense In this situation, he didn’t know if they could get through the knight’s wall of defense in the tiht get exterminated instead
“da……!”
Raiden’s lips went dry at the sight of the falling sand Ark was also iht it was over So ith the absurd turn at the last e failed like this then all his efforts would be for nothing Sid would rot in prison and he wouldn’t be able to get his 5,000 gold back But was that all? The potions and repair costs that he would’ve received froe would be thousands of gold……!
It was just like a death sentence for Ark
‘Even if I die, I have to e succeed!’
It happened when Ark started getting restless
Saek saek saek?
He heard a familiar sound at his feet When Ark lowered his head, Snake iainst his face
‘Eh? Why is Snake here?’
Ark soon had a strange thought in his head While Snake’s charh, noas not the ti However, whenever Snake rubbed its body against Ark itto vomit outAnd it wouldfor praise
‘Ah, that’s how Snake looks when it has collected so that I would praise it for Then……’
Ark took a deep breath and re at the information , he felt refreshed and full of ideas

A gauntlet filled with ahts who have received God’s ancient powerOrdinary people could never find or even use this gauntletIn addition, if the Holy Knight doesn’t serve the ancient God of the religion that auntlets then they won’t be able to draw out the gauntlet’s true power

A rare ite for a rare item, that wasn’t the important part
‘Divine copy?’
It was a special option that could replicate the ic of other people!
When he saw that option, all of Ark’s questions were answeredAlthough it was a hidden profession, there was no law that there could only be one person with that occupation However, in order to maintain the uniqueness of the profession the syste 18 people with the same hidden profession didn’t make senseMoreover, there would be a probleahts
‘The answer is the gauntlet!’
Ark stared at the knights suspiciously Not surprisingly, they were all wearing gauntlets and items similar to what Snake vohts didn’t use ic after Alan used it first It was the action of Divine Copy Alan also didn’t use another skill became once he did then Divine Copy would end
‘But for 17 people to have the same rare sacred item……’
That was already a scam But if he interpreted it differently than it was easy to figure out It was extreht In order to use ‘Divine Copy,’ the knights had to belong to the saht was the God of balance, Asyeosu……the 17 knights ion to use the sacred item Thanks to the conditions it wasn’t that easy to equip it
‘In other words……Those knights are NPCs!’
There was no doubt When the second clash was occurring outside the courtyard, the cavalry troops didn’t move Unlike users, NPCs had to take a break as well
‘Those knights must be dispatched by the Cathedral since Alan has a close relationshi+p with the Cathedral and its bishops’
Even though he felt angry, Ark couldn’t really co professions to a Dark Walker, Ark also had close relationshi+ps with NPCs……because of that he received the help of the raccoons and Meow That e of a hidden job
‘Now let’s pulla swindle……thanks to that I found a way to penetrate the barrier The way to destroy ‘Divine Copy’ is to deal with Alan who is the one being copied But……’
There was no way to avoid the knights and fight against Alan 1-on-1 If he received a concentrated attack frohts then he wouldn’t be able to last for one anized his thoughts Alan was looking out theoverlooking the hourglass
‘Okay, I have no choice but to try There isn’t that much time left If I defeat Alan then the Here All the problems will be settled If I take him out then it won’t be a problem even if I die!’
Ark stroked Snake’s head and solidified his resolution
“Snake, good work If I win this siege then you will receive the number 1 merit”
Ssak? Ssak ssak ssak!
Snake nodded with a happy face
“Dedric, you stick to the ceiling and pay attention Notify me if you spot any of the enemy’s movements from there Prepare yourself If you miss even one……”
“I got it You don’t have to threaten me like that!”
Dedric moved to a shadowed place and hid behind a chandelier Once everything was prepared Ark grabbed his sword and shouted
“Raiden, please ht side Dark Eden will concentrate on shooting the left!”
“What? What did you say?”
Raiden frowned as he replied But since Dark Eden was concentrated on shooting the left side, he was force to attack the right Once the knights ap in the h such a sap but Ark was different!
“Dark Dance!”
Ark squeezed like a ghost through the gap between knights With Dark Dance he was able to get through notricky footwork, but because it was so complicated he had to concentrate on the footprints on the floor It was a fatal drawback because he couldn’t see the movements of the enemies but……
“The knight is swinging his sword The knight is coht on your left side is trying to hit you with his shi+eld!”
Ark was able to iine the movements of the enemies thanks to Dedric’s voiceThanks to that he could concentrate on his footwork and slip between the knights and through the gap When Ark was close then Alan would hide hihts’ bodiesTherefore Ark completely missed Alan’s position But if wasn’t possible to avoid the eyes of Dedric atching from above
“Alan’s position is?”
“Behind Master’s right side, on your 5 o’clock!”
“Here? Dark blade!”
Ark rotated his body like a spinning top and quickly used Dark BladeIt was the Dark Dance and Dark Blade chain skill Dark Strike! A critical attack that ignored the defense! In front of Dark Blade, the various buffs had noArk continuously tracked and attacked Alan with Dark Strike and then keeping his distance using Dark DanceHowever, Alan only had a moment of confusion
“Heh, those are your special moves?”
Coe of Dark Strike was only a small amount
‘Sheesh, is it impossible like expected?’
“Bah, this stupid guy just stepped into his grave Holy Light!”
Alan pushed Ark with his shi+eld and chanted a holy spell When he finished, a s of sunlight
-Your dark attribute bonus has been turned off by ‘Holy Light’
‘What? My dark attribute bonus……!’
Ark’s face darkened Since the siege started at 6 aame time and lasted three days, the current ti but it was still the time ruled by a Dark Walker! It was because of his dark attribute bonus that Ark could fight Alan evenly in the middle of the enemies But if it was turned off……
“I guessed right Your da compared to your level……”
Alan ridiculed hi his sword Unlike before, he felt his health falling from that one blowHis defense and stamina had increased because of his dark attribute bonus so it was an inevitable resultIn addition, the Holy Knight’s attack applied an additional dae bonus to the darkness attribute
Ark was pushed back by Alan’s shi+eldThe attacks fro all over the placeDozens of swords and ht to a weakened Ark In just a few moments his health fell and he was in a critical condition
“This, this is! Support Ark!”
Raiden and the warriors ran over but weren’t helpful Alan gathered the knights to block Raiden and ran up to ArkSince Ark’s health was depleted, his expression indicated that he felt confident enough to deal with Ark
“Huhuhu, you stupid bastard!”
‘Now!’
Ark’s eyes flashed Ark didn’t rush recklessly This chance could only be grabbed once The 1-on-1 fight with Alan in front of the as all for this moment!
“Let’s finish this to the end!”
Ark rushed up to Alan Alan flinched and swung his sword but Ark avoided it and attacked And he gripped the waist tightly with both handsIt was the wrestling y the force of his waist and ran towards theIt was then that Alan noticed Ark’s plan
“What? What, what are you doing……do you intend to die together?”
“Don’t mess around The only one ill die is you!”
Alan screarabbed theframe
“Lariette-niic……!”
Ark flinched and turned his headHe finally noticed that Lariette was standing restlessly near Alan Ark looked at her and shook his head slightlyThen Lariette as chanting a spell winced, and whether intentional or not cancelled the spell At that moment, Ark was saved
‘Lariette-nim……!’
“Son of a bitch……Holy Knights!”
The knights turned around as they responded to Alan’s voice and sith both hands With their destructive power, one hit from the mace would kill Ark However, Ark stared blankly at Lariette before he suddenly shouted and released a burst of light
“Hahaha, I’m not afraid anymore! Summon release, summon Deimos!”
Clack clack clack!
Deimos loudly stopped the attack from the mace with his shi+eldDei Alan to release his hands from the sill in shockAt the moment Ark and Alan, as well as Deimos fell out the
“Huk………!”
The Hall of Glory was on the top floor of the castle The height was 30 round When thrown froan to panicOne of a warrior’s greatest fears is falling while clad in steel armour However, Ark would also suffer in this situation
“Summon release, Deimos! Snake, sword!”
Ark sent Deimos back and took out a sword Now, it’s time to settle this!
“Blade Storm!”
The sword shattered in front of Alan’s nose and caused a storm Alan was sucked into the debris and his health declined rapidly But it was not the end Before the effects of Blade Storards to falling dalessThanks to the attack from Blade Storm, he fell even faster Thanks to his health as a warrior, Alan was like a cockroach and avoided instant death but he only had 5 of health left On the other hand, Ark was able to reduce the fall dae, Alan was collapsed at Ark’s feet and only need 150 e to die
“You, you bastard……!
Alan stuttered and glared at Ark However, he was stunned since he received falling da steel armour The only resistance Alan could do was stare at Ark Ark raised his body and slowly approached Alan
“Alan, if you wanted to show off then you should’ve picked a rival as nificant’
“Ark, absolutely……I will not leave silently……”
“Then I’ll pay you back 2, no three times Just like Andel”
“You’ll definitely regret today……Cough!”
Snap!
Alan screah his neck With a snap, his blood ca at hiht had finally endedIt was a long journey of revenge, but he had no interest once it finally ended Ark waited until he saw Alan’s pulse stop and then collapsed with a thud
However, the siege was still not over Ark restored his health using food and went back up to the Hall of Glory As expected, after Alan died all of the knight’s Divine Copy was also cancelledIn addition, using Divine Copy consumed 300 manaThey used it 4 times in succession so they ran out of ht was just the same as a normal warriorRaiden used to chance to unleash his offensive and the knights and remnants of Dawn Blade helplessly fell to the Hermes Alliance
‘Lariette-nim……’
Ark looked at her body with bitter eyes But her death was inevitable in order for the Hermes Alliance to winThe fact that she hesitated to help Alan in the last minute meant a lot of to Ark
‘When the situation is stable then I’ll ain’
“damn…you’ll soon see!”
While Ark was thinking, the last member of Dawn Blade collapsed
There was no one who could prevent Raiden fro on the throne anymore!
“Finally……!”
Raiden looked at the throne with red eyes He had been waiting for thistime was only 20 ed to Dawn Blade since soe and was still alive However, Raiden just had to sit in the throne for 20 minutes and it would become his territory Raiden slowly approached the throne and was about to sit dohen he saw Ark standing in the doorway
“You’re alive?”
Then there was a suspicious smile on Raiden’s face
“Good It wouldn’t do to sit down before doing this”
-Raiden has used the ‘Trick’ skill
The alliance with Her Trick!
“What?”
Raiden said with a smile
“Ithat time But it ends here”
“Then the promise……!”
“Don’t you understand? The alliance has finished”
Ark then began to realise his ht, it was the uneasiness he felt when the conceded to his demands so obediently He had felt it several timesThe intermediate recovery potions, catapult repair and renovation costs……even if it was a war, he had signed the contracts too obediently It was naturalFro hile penny The distribution of the proceeds from the 2 contracts all relied on a prerequisite That Raiden the leader of the Hermes Alliance would capture the throne and occupy Silvana
In other words, with the alliance released the contract was just a piece of tissue However Ark believed that the Alliance Agreereeined that there would be a skill which could destroy the contracts However, Ark didn’t fully understand New World yet Although reality wasn’t that different, this was still a ganore the rules No, noit was still a skill!
“Ugh……I came this far just for this?”
“It was because you were too greedy I will ad in this victory Therefore I didn’t want to do thisBut 30……that is too difficult In this situation, there is no way that I can give you 30 of the proceeds”
The guildaround Raiden noddedAs expected, Baron the guild etsu tried to avoid the attention Ark realised that all the rereed with the results
“Noeep them up!”
Raiden ordered while sitting on the throne The situation was like a wolf had opened itsHermes Alliance users ran towards Ark and Dark Eden Nearly 100 Hermes Alliance members were still aliveOn the other hand, Ark and Dark Eden only had 45 people And more than half were artilleryht and win
‘I have to save the NPCs!’
