It's been several months since rankers started flowing into the midfield in earnest.

Almost all of the already internationally recognized guilds have created a node in the intermediate realm, and the hidden content of the intermediate realm, which was unique to rankers, has now begun to spread quite widely.

And in the case of the system being targeted by the most users of the middle relay, the content was pretty in-depth.

Almost conquered the first district of Erebos, of course, past Acheron.

The top guilds have already crossed the River Coquitos and the Flaming River Plegetone.

Especially in the Death Inferno region beyond Flegeton, there was a very active conflict between human users and horseman users.

Even in the early Erebos, the vast majority of the fields consisted of instant dungeon formats, so hostile factions did not meet much, but the Death Inferno region consisted entirely of open fields, so all content was a series of conflicts and confrontations.

And the Great Warrior of the Magic Faction, ⁄ v. Kai, was truly active here at Death Inferno.

- Huff, now Kai has broken the Great Wizard Shunar's barrier!

- This will put Atar Guild Dealers at risk!

- Whoa! The Atar rankers are panicking! You never thought it would break!

- Kai, that's amazing! What skill did you just use? The 200,000-strength defensive barrier was crushed in 3 seconds!

- I think your attack power is already insane, given your skill set.

- Ah, Kai is closing the distance in front of the Atar Guild long distance dealers! At this rate, we can't avoid annihilation!

- Even the Atar Guild Master is out of the game. I have to assume that the user who can stop Kai is not in the Atar Guild.

If Korea has major gaming channels YTBC, the US has game channels GGT with tens of millions of subscribers worldwide.

And recently, at GGT, subscribers were popular on a daily basis, broadcasting disputes in the Death Inferno region.

Among all of those broadcasts, the most popular content was the battle footage of the great warrior Kai.

- Wow, Kai is crazy...! How many kilos are you doing alone?

- Khh... This is why I can't stop watching Kai? I just deleted one of the crazy guilds by myself.

- Even the Atar Guild didn't see this coming. You thought today was your best chance to take Kai's head.

Kai, the great warrior, who was defeated by Ian in the early mid-line ‘The Word of God' battlefield, but never lost to Ian.

Recently, Kai's performance has become more prominent because of the increasing number of wars between factions.

Kai demonstrated his unique presence in local warfare with the users of the human faction, and his fans were overwhelmed by it.

- Huh, I didn't think God-Kai would fall for that so easily. This was Kai's target from the beginning.

Kai was certainly great, but I don't think he'd approve of that.

It's true that Kai was set up. But I think it's a fact that you broke the trap.

- Hmm, is that so?

- By the way, Kai, I think it's true that the rumors are way above transcendent level 70. That's why it's so destructive.

- Khh... I envy you. I haven't stepped on the midfield yet...

While not exactly known, fans of the U.S. servers were estimating Kai's transcendence level to approximately 70 levels.

On the contrary, the other top rankers' levels were mostly level 60 elementary, so it was probably natural for Kai to tear them apart like a signpost.

- Anyway, this is amazing. At this rate, all the Human Guilds will be pushed backwards.

- Yeah, I'm guessing Leukchen fell for the Machine Civilization quest. If she had stayed in command, the real human faction wouldn't have any place to go.

Despite Kai's last solo, the battle is over.

Users of the U.S. server who do not leave the chat room, each talking about the status of their rankers.

And to finish the broadcast, the stories of the GGT commentators began to flow.

- Well, the first to find the Forgetful River Rette would be Kai.

- Exactly, and now I think that even the name system content is clearly beyond the point of return.

- Gentlemen, we'll leave you to it.

We'll be back in three hours with a sneak peek at the Tower of Death!

* * *

As soon as the battle begins, Ian's surprise attack leaves, and unfortunately returns to null and void.

As if they were waiting for Ian's attack, the Guardian's unique abilities were triggered in a reflexive fashion.

Jiaying-!

- The Abyssal Test Tube ‘Mur’ triggers the unique ability 'Abyssal Veil’.

- Temporarily void all damages.

- ‘Myr’ has reduced health by 0.

However, it did not embarrass Ian.

Ian, who had always dealt with various variables beforehand, calmly rotated his body laterally and escaped to the other side.

Blame-!

Ian then opened his distance again and took a deep breath.

“Phew!”

Once he attempted a sneak attack, he needed to take a breath once more before it returned to failure.

‘Don't overdo it. ’

Abyssal Test Tube is level 99.

And this was a tremendous level nine levels higher than the ‘inconvenience’ that Ian fought in the Lava Zone.

Compared directly to Ian, 20 levels are even more different.

Because of this, Ian was in a state of super-strength, making every nerve stand up.

I don't know how his combat abilities are set, but now that all the equipment except his sword has been sealed, it was obvious that if he got hit incorrectly, he would be in paradise.

"ZHS tents with no time limit. First of all, it's more important I don't die than I kill him. ’

Ian rolls his head constantly in the face of the Guardian.

Ian recounted his pattern of attack before entering Serga's Castle.

‘I used to shoot small Abyss holes. Be careful not to get dragged in. ’

The Maw Whirl the Guardian sent was a projectile with a relatively slow speed.

But with tension pulling on the surrounding objects, it's not going to be easy to deal with.

And the closer the tornado's tensile strength gets to the center, the more powerful it will be, so it was best to avoid it before approaching nearby.

- Kiyaaao!

And after a brief search, the fierce workshop of Ian and ‘Mur’ began.

Like a flying monster with a sharp appearance, he seemed to have a much more agile figure than Ian.

It was almost impossible to chase him or get away from him just by running.

If I could use a skill or a unique ability, or even an Iron, the situation would be completely different.

But given the conditions, you wouldn't have to have worthless stubbornness.

- Caaaahhhh!

“Huff...! ”

Ian takes a deep breath and hides behind the pillar, avoiding the Guardian's attack.

Bloom-

And at the same time.

Kuang -!

A huge Abyssal Whirlwind that fell down to where Ian was, broke the asbestos and burst into a great sound.

‘I can't do this.... ’

And knowing that we couldn't chase him at physical speed, Ian decided to change the operation a little bit.

‘If you push from the stat, you'll have to react at the reaction rate. ’

We're using indoor features with numerous columns to reduce the battlefield and respond to it at a moment's response rate within a confined space.

And Ian's strategy, it started to work.

The furious Guardian entered the narrow space as he exited through the column like a Mudfish.

- Kieeek!

Ian doesn't miss the gap, but calmly draws his sword towards his wings.

Blame it on me!

Ian's pupils are then naturally enlarged to confirm system messages.

‘How much will the deal go down? ’

But the next moment, Ian had to be a little embarrassed.

‘What……? ’

The resulting value of the attack, identified by the system message, was too drastically degraded.

-Disposed fatal damage to Abyssal Test Tube ‘Mur’!

- Myr's unique ability is triggered by the Ancient Protection.

- The defensive strength of 'Mur’ is instantly boosted.

- Reduces the health of 'Myr’ by 1.

…… Snapshot……

With Ian's ears bewildered by the shocking damage of '1’, an explosion sounds again.

Phew!

Muir, who had once again squeezed the space, caused an abyss to erupt right next to Ian.

- You have suffered catastrophic damage from the Abyssal Test Subject ‘Mur’!

- HP reduced by 79,801!

What kind of crap is this? ’

Looking at the sheer, shaved life force, Ian snatches away the cold sweat that flows down his forehead.

If someone other than Ian had confronted this situation, he would have remained in chaos.

However, while he was evading Muir's subsequent attacks, Ian calmly recovered the information in his mind.

‘There has to be a way. Methods. There's no content in Kailan that says not to wake up. ’

Ian incites more willingness with a vivid look, whether he knows that there are often content that has been made unbreakable.

Ian did not think that the deal was simply a lack of levels.

Even though Ian's level was much lower, it didn't make a difference over the ship, and it wasn't as overwhelming as the amount of ridiculous damage he needed to see.

‘There must be a solution...' ’

And at the next moment, there was one piece of information that rushed through Ian's head.

- The 'Devil's Mark’ can be stacked up to 3 times, and if it does critical damage to a target with 3 stacks, the attack completely ignores the target's defense.

* * *

In fact, the law of retaliation to defeat him was the same as what was publicly given to the user.

Just before the test started, the weapon's unique abilities depended on conditional options to ignore its defensive abilities.

The only reason Ian didn't think of it immediately was because of the urgent and chaotic current situation.

It was too short a time to read your unique abilities in the first place, and you didn't even have time to hide while the fighting lasted.

But as soon as I figured out a way, I had to do something about it.

‘I don't know if it's possible to build a three-stack in five seconds against this monster...... but we have to do something about it. ’

The 'Devil's Mark’, the passive unique ability of the Referee Blade, is a sign that is triggered when it counteracts a critical hit as soon as it dodges the target's attack.

But no matter how far we got, the problem was the duration of the stigma.

After the first strike, two additional passives must be detonated before the first mark disappears, so it is a skill that requires extreme reaction speed, control, and concentration.

Ian is obsessed with identifying the Guardian's skill patterns to ensure maximum safety, then he begins to work (?).

You little...!

Digging through the columns avoids the sharp claws of the Guardian, whilst aiming for his side and swinging his sword.

And Ian's first attempt, clean and successful, produced a stigma.

- Tyring!

- We have dealt fatal damage to the Abyssal Test Subject ‘Mur'!

- Myhr's unique ability, the Ancient Guardian, is triggered.

- The defensive strength of 'Mur’ is instantly boosted.

- Reduces the health of 'Mur’ by 1.

- Qualified!

- The inherent power of the Judgment Blade, the Devil's Mark, is triggered.

- Duration: 5 seconds

However, there was a huge difference in difficulty between casting a stigma and achieving a triple stamp.

“Hehe!”

It was a complete and utter failure in the second attempt that followed.

Whitrick.

- We missed the attack!

- Reduces the health of 'Myr’ by 1.

…… Snapshot……

“Damn it.”

Swinging the sword right away to make time, and even hitting the attack failed, rather than meeting the conditions.

But if you don't die by mistake, you have plenty of chances.

Ian was not disappointed.

“Tsh, tsh!”

Ian aims for the Guardian's weakness while continuing to wield his sword in a tight line!

Booooo-!

As time went on, Ian's face became more relaxed with the sword, and as time went on, his eyes became more and more timing.

‘Yes. If I squeeze in here like this...! ’

There was no difference in appearance, but the timing was short and the trigger of the passive was determined with fine accuracy.

- Qualified!

- The inherent power of the Judgment Blade triggers the Devil's Mark.

- Qualified!

- The inherent power of the Judgment Blade triggers the Devil's Mark.

- "The Devil's Mark" has been stacked twice!

…… Snapshot……

- "The Devil's Mark" has been stacked 3 times!

-Enhanced Demon Energy!

Ian then jumped into the air three times in a row with his picturesque movements and put a judgmental sword in his chest.

Kuaang -!
