”Shit!”
”Are you sure he used Equality?”
”I'm sure. My STR just dropped to 2,000 and my WIL and INT went up to 2,000!”
”Then why is he so strong?! All of his Stats should be at 1.”
”How the fuck should I know? You saw the red smoke too!”
”All of you cut the chatter! Lee Jiwon isn't supposed to be using Equality in the first place. Something's…not right here!”
The Sahtawshi Guild was furious. They were losing the battle that had been in their favor this whole time. That Lee Jiwon bastard killed Madadu of the allied guild and robbed Kiran of his exclusive skill. It also didn't seem that he had taken on any penalties from using Equality.
They could only watch in anger as Lee Jiwon cut down their fellow soldiers with ease, laughing the whole way.

Rahul ground his teeth in anger as he watched the battle before him. ”How is this even possible…?”
Kiran didn't reply to Rahul's question. He couldn't.
Kiran was the angriest and most confused person here. He was the real victim. His exclusive skill granted by the gods was gone. It didn't just disappear, either; he was robbed of it by Lee Jiwon!
-This doesn't make any sense. What the hell does Shaman Ko's Greed mean? Why did it steal away my skill?!-
Kiran was seething on the inside.
”Master Rahul! We just received a report that Lee Jiwon used Equality.”
”…Are you sure?”
”Yes sir, I'm sure! Our men witnessed a red smoke rise from Lee Jiwon and engulf one of our soldiers. That soldier confirmed that all of his Stats had been set to 2,000.”
”Ha…” Rahul sighed in disbelief. He never heard of anybody being able to steal someone else's skill. If there was a skill like that, he would have done everything in his power to acquire it to steal away Muskan's Random Skill.
”Um… there is another thing.”
”What is it?” asked Rahul's chief of staff.
”Well, Lee Jiwon did use Equality, but…”
”Spit it out, man!”
”Uh, yes, sir! He used Equality but unlike Master Kiran, he's still fighting,” the scout said, pointing his finger at the battlefield, where Lee Jiwon was swinging his spear like a madman, cutting down his enemies before him. ”Just like that.”
Rahul and Kiran stared in shock. They were so busy worrying about what just happened that they completely forgot about what sort of skill Equality was, even though it was Kiran's.
Equality was an efficient skill. It had the potential to cut down a powerful boss monster's abilities to a quarter normal. That potential came with its own restrictions for balance purposes; it lowered its user's Stats to 1. However, this stolen skill didn't seem to have those restrictions.
”We've been cheated! How…how…why is this even possible!?” Kiran cried out, but no one could answer him.
”Sound the retreat.”
Both sides were fighting neck and neck now. Lee Jiwon and Lagus Aman were strong, but the alliance between the Sahtaswhi and the Behi-Kinant Guilds was still much more powerful than the rest of the Labi Guild. The alliance didn't just have Kiran and Madadu; they had four of their own Unrivaled devas and numerous elite veteran soldiers in their ranks.
In other words, with Kiran and Madadu now out of the battle, the fact that the Labi Guild was now fighting toe to toe against the alliance with the help of Lee Jiwon and Lagus Aman did not sit well with Rahul. It was one of the reasons he gave the order to retreat.
-If….if there's a chance he can pass on skills he stole…-
Rahul knew there wasn't a good chance of that happening, but if there was even a sliver of hope, he had to see for himself. The Descendant of the God of Destruction was worth that much, even if it meant giving Lee Jiwon everything he had.
-But if Lee Jiwon does manage to take away the skill, everything we've planned so far will go down the drain.-
But that was still better than letting Muskan keep the Descendant of the God of Destruction skill. Lee Jiwon wasn't an Indian like Muskan, he wouldn't have a reason to help the lower castes and there was no way he would be called Shiva's Descendant. If Rahul couldn't have the skill, no one could!

”Yeaaah!”
”We won!”
