Chapter 144
Monsters and users.
The sight of almost all the forces of both sides concentrated equally was truly spectacular.
It was only natural that all users’ eyes were focused on the Valley of Origins raid.
“Today, I will raid the Valley of Origins with Drakan-nim, and furthermore, I will cut off the breath of the Hive Mind on the Primeval Plateau. Peace in Ard World, the end of Phase 2, I will achieve it with you, the users.”
Users gathered endlessly, covering the horizon and beyond!
With the news that the two giants, Eugene and Drakan, had joined forces, Eugene stood on the podium and said these words in a situation where not only the fandoms of both sides but also general users had gathered.
As soon as Eugene finished speaking, the users of the Holy Alliance cheered.
Eugene smiled at the sight and stepped aside.
And in that spot stood Drakan.
Unlike Eugene, who was clad in armor mixed with silver and gold, Drakan, wearing black armor, looked down at the users and said,
“I won’t make a long speech. This time, too, I will win with you.”
As soon as Drakan finished speaking, this time, the Dark Alliance roared so loudly that the sky seemed to shake.
Drakan turned his back on the sight.
There, a giant fortress made of flesh and mucous wriggled dynamically as if it were alive.
“Solar Manifestation.”
As Eugene muttered softly, the always cloudy sky was dyed white with light, and soon a brilliant sun appeared.
The golden sun of light!
It was Eugene’s Awakening Skill, the Mythical grade skill, Solar Manifestation.
[Hul lol It’s really the sun lol]
[Wow, isn’t this the first time he’s used it in actual combat?]
[Real, the skill name is so cool;; Solar Manifestation;;]
[As expected of top ranker Eugene-nim ㄷㄷ]
The chat window exploded as soon as Eugene’s Awakening Skill, Solar Manifestation, appeared!
As the chat window said, this was the first time Eugene had used Solar Manifestation in actual combat.
This was because the situation had never been serious enough for Eugene to use his ultimate skill.
Top Ranker.
It was safe to say that there was almost nothing that could threaten Eugene, who possessed the most powerful force and the most powerful items in Ard World.
Drakan, looking at Eugene, thought,
‘This is the level of force needed to draw out his ultimate skill.’
Eugene.
Drakan was closely examining the force required to draw out his ultimate skill.
‘It’s still not enough.’
Drakan thought, looking at the Dark Alliance, including Jeil E&M.
The summit of the mountain had come into view, but that didn’t mean they could climb it right away.
The road to the summit was still long and arduous.
[All stats are temporarily increased by 100%.]
[Attack power is temporarily increased by 100%.]
[Defense power is temporarily increased by 100%.]
At the moment the sun fully appeared and emitted a brilliant light.
A notification window popped up in front of all the users present, including Drakan.
It was a buff notification window.
On the other hand, strange screams emanated from the Valley of Origins.
[Kieeeeeeeek!]
[Kiiiiiik!]
The minions of the Hive Mind screamed!
Unable to withstand the debuffs pouring from the sun of light that appeared between the clouds due to the power of Solar Manifestation, the monsters began to rampage.
Eugene silently pointed his finger at the valley as he watched.
At that moment.
Flash.
Like a lightning strike, a beam of light shot out from the sun and struck the enemy lines.
Kwaaang!
Following the earth-shaking roar, the ground exploded, scattering the flesh of the monsters and splattering blood.
People were silent as they watched the scene.
Eugene.
The top ranker of Ard World.
Everyone was thrilled at the moment when his true power, which had reached the pinnacle, was finally revealed to the world.
Until now, Eugene had never properly used his ultimate skill.
Of course, it had been released through demonstration videos and the like, but only a few rankers, including Drakan, recognized its true value.
Eugene had raided most monsters and dungeons and solved quests using only general skills.
Therefore, there was public opinion among general users that Eugene’s ultimate skill was nothing special, and that opinion came to an end today.
[Wow, the laser is amazing lol]
[Is this fantasy or sci-fi lol]
[Crazy;]
[What is this?]
[What did he just do?]
[Is he a wizard or a swordsman?]
[Isn’t Eugene totally OP?]
The reaction in the chat window was beyond explosive, it was close to awe!
Looking at the ground that had been blown away as if it had been hit by a bomb and the bodies of the enemies that had been horribly crushed without even being able to scream, Drakan thought,
‘As expected, I’ll need the Overlord’s Sword.’
The Overlord’s Sword.
Without that Mythical grade skill that literally made him an Overlord in the previous game, he couldn’t counter Eugene’s ultimate skill.
As Drakan was reconfirming the conclusion he had reached, Eugene’s voice reached his ears.
“Next is Drakan-nim’s turn.”
Hearing those words, Drakan stepped forward and raised Iron Blood Executor to the sky.
“Steel Rain.”
Steel Rain!
The ultimate skill, which had become Drakan’s signature skill, unfolded.
The crimson aura that soared from Iron Blood Executor struck the dark clouds, and then the rain of red aura that fell from the dark clouds like lightning struck the earth relentlessly.
Steel Rain began to mercilessly pound the monster front lines, which had been shaken by the Solar Bombardment.
Flash!
And once again, the Solar Bombardment strikes!
The moment the landscape created by Drakan and Eugene joining forces, the scene of red and gold intertwining and collapsing one of the enemy’s front lines, was revealed, the chat window began to refresh every second once again.
[The best collaboration ever……]
[Real, it’s hot from the start lol]
[It’s so refreshing]
[This is why I watch steamrolling broadcasts lol]
[Aren’t they actually close?]
[Ah, to see this combination again lol]
The chat that endlessly scrolls up!
Looking at the chat, Eugene raised his Holy Sword.
The Holy Sword, the most famous and powerful Mythical grade item in Ard World, shining brilliantly in a golden light, bathed in the light of the artificial sun floating in the sky.
Eugene, holding the Holy Sword, said,
“Everyone, attack the enemy. Drakan-nim and I will protect you!”
The moment they heard Eugene’s words, the users cheered and began to charge into the valley.
“Waaaaaaaah!”
“Let’s kill them all!”
“Eugene-nim has commanded us!”
“For the Holy Alliance!”
“For the Dark Alliance!”
“Drakan-nim is watching!”
Eugene.
No matter what anyone said, he was still the pinnacle of Ard World, and the fact that a being with power befitting him declared that he would protect them gave the users a sense of security and excitement, and they immediately charged towards the enemy lines without hesitation.
Eugene and Drakan. The fact that they were with the two most famous users in Ard World, the fact that they were sharing the historical moment of Ard Saga Second’s main story, was giving the users on the battlefield a sense of exhilaration.
Writing a page of history with my own hands!
The users who harbored such desires unhesitatingly took the lead and attacked the monsters.
[Kiiiiiik!]
[Kiik!]
And the monsters, weakened by various debuff skills from the black magicians that Drakan brought, including Solar Manifestation, could not withstand the attacks of the motivated users.
[You vermin!]
The Alpha Mind named monster ‘Tyr,’ who commands all individuals in the Valley of Origins, sighed as he watched his subordinates being mercilessly slaughtered.
Otherworlders from the dimension called Ard World.
When they first entered the Broken World, Tyr didn’t pay much attention.
Although they were quite aggressive in the beginning, they soon became divided and started to check each other, unable to even set foot on the Primeval Plateau.
Tyr mocked the otherworlders who made inefficient and pathetic decisions, a dimension apart from themselves who united under the command of the great Unified Will, the Hive Mind.
‘As expected, they are mentally inferior races.’
Unified Will!
It was an idea possible only for the Hive Mind race, who prided themselves on being mentally at the highest level, with all races fused into a single will.
This wasn’t surprising.
While invading countless dimensions,
Above all, the return of the expeditionary force was in progress.
And as they fought each other,
The power of those they thought were insignificant, when combined, far exceeded Tyr’s expectations.
Light and Darkness.
The sight of the opposing forces of black and white being wielded simultaneously on the battlefield was a spectacle to behold, but it was a hellish landscape for the minions of the Hive Mind who were on the receiving end.
At that moment.
[My children.]
A clear voice echoed across the entire battlefield.
The Conquest Lord Hive Mind.
The Unified Will, which commands the vast army of monsters scattered throughout all dimensions, including the Broken World, finally revealed its presence.
[Go out and fight. Trample all the vermin of the other world.]
The very moment the Hive Mind’s words fell.
[The Hive Mind reveals its presence.]
[The overwhelming mental wave of the Hive Mind spreads.]
[Resistance failed!]
[All stats are temporarily decreased by 100%.]
[Attack power is temporarily decreased by 50%.]
[Accuracy is temporarily decreased by 30%.]
[Defense power is temporarily decreased by 30%.]
Debuff windows appeared endlessly before the users’ eyes.
Hive Mind.
It was the moment when his power, which could lower users’ stats just by projecting his will, was finally unveiled on the battlefield for the first time.
Of course, users above the ranker level were able to resist the mental wave emitted by the Hive Mind and lift the debuff, but users who had not become rankers were inevitably subjected to the debuff.
Fortunately, Eugene and Drakan, along with the buffers they brought from both sides, used buff skills to offset the Hive Mind’s debuff, including Solar Manifestation, but despite his short appearance, he succeeded in leaving a remarkable impression.
That wasn’t all.
[Oh, Great Will, lead your faithful servants.]
The minions of the Hive Mind!
The debuffs on the monsters, who were dying helplessly in the face of the overwhelming force of Ard World’s elite dream team, were lifted, and their bodies began to regain their strength.
It was a change brought about by the great will of the Hive Mind.
[Hul, crazy lol]
[Look at him debuffing with just his voice;]
[How can we beat this?]
[Isn’t this like the final boss of the previous game?;;]
[How can we win lol]
A presence that shocked even the viewers watching the scene!
But the agitation on the scene wasn’t that great.
Eugene and Drakan.
It was because the two users were holding the front line.
The raid was just beginning.
