Chapter 118: Human Guild (2)

Then, as if on cue, a message appeared before everyone.

[Protect the Human Guild]

Safely escort the human merchants to their destination.

Upon successful escort, all participants will receive experience rewards.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

The person who contributes most to defeating the traitor will receive a sub-quest reward.

If the traitor group is completely eliminated, all participants will receive an additional reward.

[Current Participant Status]

Participants: 1,202

Traitors: 1

Hearing the player count, players began to grumble.

Only one traitor?

I thought there were several.

How are we supposed to find one among 1,202?

The mission felt like finding a needle in a haystack, and players lost their motivation.

Still, we better start looking by attacking each other, right?

Lets do that!

As usual, the players started attacking each other to weed out the traitor.

However, none dared to approach the Black Scythe.

Except for An Sang-cheol, who had some connection.

Black Scythe-nim. My apologies in advance.

Are you going to stab me?

If youre not the traitor, you wont get hurt, right? Unless?

An Sang-cheol was quick to notice.

Ryu Min had intentionally made it obvious.

Uh-hum, seems like well have to forget about the sub-quest. Given the difficulty of this guild.

Thatll be the better choice.

Realizing he was dealing with Black Scythe, An Sang-cheol quickly gave up.

A message soon appeared.

[Archbishop Laver grants the blessing Holy Shield.]

[A shield that blocks one basic attack from an enemy is created.]

[Archbishop Laver grants the blessing Divine Touch.]

[All stats increase by 5.]

With the buffs applied, the players faces lit up.

Wow, even NPCs give buffs?

Did you get the buff too? I got it.

Me too!

Did everyone here get it?

That archbishop guy, quite useful, huh?

The players were ecstatic at receiving buffs for the first time, but it wasnt necessarily a good thing.

The presence of the archbishops buffs meant that challenging monsters were expected to appear.

Trolls, gargoyles, those arent the real danger. The real danger is the boss-level monsters.

Exactly at wave 25, a boss monster will appear.

By then, the players would be exhausted, making it difficult to defeat the boss.

What if I step in with overwhelming power at that time?

He would catch the archbishops eye, and given his emphasis on ability, he could gain favor.

And favor leads to items.

Specifically, the opportunity to obtain the rune of the future.

After obtaining that, Ill have to kill the archbishop and the other merchants.

Killing the non-players to prevent the traders from reaching their destination is necessary.

That way, Ryu Min being considered a member of the traitor group can survive.

Conversely, the escort group of 1,201 would fail their quest.

But they wont be annihilated.

Theres a way.

A way for neither the 1,201 nor Ryu Min to be annihilated.
