Chapter 145

The [Munchkin Cat] Guild.

It’s arguably the most famous guild in the world.

The [Arang Arang] raid party created within [Munchkin Cat] is currently competing for the top 1st and 2nd spots in the raid rankings, making it an outstanding raid party and guild.

However, PVP and conflicts are entirely different from raids.

While raids are conducted with a party of only 8 members, the newly updated guild wars are different.

It’s a so-called conflict zone where all guild members engage in PVP on the field.

If they fought with just 8 members, they might be the best guild, but [Munchkin Cat]’s guild ranking in PVP conflict maps is quite low.

No, it’s very low.

The reason, of course, is the number of guild members.

Although [Munchkin Cat] has recently increased its members, the total number of guild members is only 30.

It’s impossible for all 30 to be online 24/7, and usually, only about 10 to 15 members are logged in.

But even that number is insufficient.

Even before the new faction season update, it was announced that guild content would be significantly added and rankings would be introduced.

As a result, guilds preparing for the guild ranking battles all increased their members.

Currently, in Leore, a guild can have up to 60 members.

Naturally, guilds aiming for the rankings made efforts to fill those 60 slots.

When the new season started, guilds aiming for the guild rankings initially kept an eye on each other.

Each took some territory and accumulated points.

To enter the guild rankings, points are necessary, and the more territory you hold, the higher the points you gain.

From the perspective of other guilds, [Munchkin Cat] is a very tempting golden goblin guild.

No matter how good your combat skills are, 1v2 or 1v3 is manageable, but once the numbers exceed that, even challenger or pro-level skills can’t win.

That’s why having only 30 members and accumulating points like other guilds isn’t particularly favorable from other guilds’ perspectives.

However, [Munchkin Cat] is too famous, and because of the [Mea’d] guild running the [Mea’d] raid party behind it, other guilds couldn’t recklessly attack.

It’s certain that to achieve the top spot in the guild war rankings, [Munchkin Cat] and [Mea’d] guilds must be defeated.

The problem is that any guild attacking [Munchkin Cat] and [Mea’d] first is definitely at risk in this guild ranking battle. That’s why all guilds were just watching each other.

But then, one guild made a proposal.

The proposal was to eliminate the most threatening [Munchkin Cat] and [Mea’d] guilds first in this ranking battle.

In the current state, it’s almost certain that [Munchkin Cat] and [Mea’d] guilds will take the 1st and 2nd spots in the rankings.

Guilds with ambitions for the rankings accepted the proposal, leading to the current situation.

“But is it okay to attack the Princess’s guild?”

A guild member killing [Munchkin Cat] guild members and occupying territory said.

“It’s strange to just give them the top spot. This content was made for fighting. In the Princess’s case, we should worship her in the general map, not the conflict zone.”

“That’s true. And who knows, maybe we can fight the Princess?”

“Oh, that’s good too. I’ve only seen her in videos; I wonder how good she is at PVP.”

To claim territory, you must stand in a specific area for a certain amount of time.

In other words, it’s a capture battle.

You don’t fight 24/7; instead, capture battles are only possible at random specific times each day.

The random time is announced the day before.

Except for that specific time, no matter how many opposing guild members you kill, you can’t claim the territory.

“Enemy approaching from the front!”

“One? What? Is the guy we just killed coming back? Trying to buy some time?”

“Maybe he switched to a Knight?”

“A Knight? That’s annoying. Honestly, Knights should be nerfed in capture battles.”

“Seriously.”

In this capture battle, if even one guild member is present on the territory, it can’t be captured.

Taking advantage of this, the Knight class, with high self-healing and shield skills, is highly tiered.

Moreover, being a tank class with invincibility skills, if they decide to, they can withstand 5 seconds of invincibility no matter how many opponents there are.

“Huh? It says [Sword Master].”

A user with the Archer class’s ability to check approaching classes on the minimap laughed when they saw [Sword Master].

“Sword Master? Is he crazy? Coming here alone as a Sword Master?”

“Even if the Princess’s guild is a raid guild, this is too thoughtless.”

“He’s coming!”

The 10 users currently in the capture zone raised their weapons. But there was no tension; they were all smiling, thinking about how to toy with the approaching player.

But.

The moment that one player came into view, everyone was shocked.

“Arang!?”

“The Princess!?”

Among Leore users, she’s overwhelmingly small, with black hair flowing, wielding a unique one-handed sword, wearing armor and a white cloak that costs about 100 million in cash shop items.

Arang was running towards them.

“Where are the other users!?”

“There aren’t any! It’s just Arang!”

“Crazy. Coming here alone?”

“Even if it’s the Princess, there are 10 of us. We have no choice but to defeat her. Everyone, get ready!”

“Mages, Archers!”

“Got it!”

The Mage and Archer classes launched magic and ranged attacks.

Currently, the 10 users consist of 4 tanks and melee DPS, 4 ranged and mages, and 2 healers, totaling 10.

Four ranged attacks flew towards Arang.

Arang raised the hand holding the Tashim Sword.

The four attacks activated simultaneously, creating a loud noise and rushing towards Arang like lasers.

The attacks, almost as fast as bullets, reached Arang in less than a second.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

An ordinary user wouldn’t have had time to dodge, but Arang effortlessly deflected all the attacks with the Tashim Sword.

“Crazy!?”

“Is that even possible!?”

They knew Arang was a master of parrying.

Originally, [Sword Master] had to be reworked beyond a balance patch because of Arang’s parrying skills.

But they thought that was only possible in 1v1 or raids.

Arang shattered that belief in front of everyone, continuing to charge forward.

Overwhelmed by the insane parrying skills never seen before in Leore, everyone stood still for a moment.

And that moment was enough for Arang.

“What are you doing? Attack again quickly!”

The Mages and Archers snapped out of it and fired again, but Arang, now closer, deflected all the ranged attacks.

Parrying.

A system existing in Leore.

Originally, it should consume health and cause stun, but it ignores all that and only consumes stamina, making it a ridiculously overpowered system.

Even so, precise timing and the ability to swing at that exact moment are extremely difficult, no matter how good your reflexes and physical skills are.

Despite the risk of failing a parry and taking a direct hit leading to stun and instant death, Arang confidently parried everything, reaching the capture zone without losing a single point of health.

“Damn…!”

The tank at the front raised his shield towards Arang.

Whoosh! Thud!!!

“!?”

The sound of air being pierced. A faint green impact.

“Ugh…!”

Using a charge skill, Arang reached the tank in an instant and plunged the Tashim Sword into his heart.

A normal user’s charge could have been blocked, but Arang’s charge, with its overwhelming physical skill reducing the delay, couldn’t be stopped by the tank, allowing Arang’s attack to land.

Of course, being a tank, he didn’t die, but the tank, hit in the weakest spot, was stunned.

With Arang already inside, ranged attacks were too risky.

In raids or hunts, you don’t take damage from allies, but conflict zones are different.

Friendly fire is possible, so attacking Arang now was dangerous for the ranged classes.

But.

“Anyway, there’s no healer there! Even if we get hit, it’s fine, so keep firing! Me and Dulbak will use area heals—!?”

The healer and leader of the group quickly assessed the situation and tried to give orders.

Slash!

A sinister, chilling sound echoed from right below him.

“Crazy…”

The leader saw Arang’s Tashim Sword piercing his neck and tried to swing his staff to heal, but before he could, Arang’s glowing blue Tashim Sword slashed the leader’s body, now stunned and unable to move.
