The Final Boss Has Returned 127

Chapter 127

A week passed like an arrow after Drakan’s broadcast ended.

Excluding the north where the colony had disappeared, the south was the first to attempt a siege among the west, south, east, and central regions where the colonies remained.

Iron Axe and Shooting Star, each based in Europe and North America respectively, and constantly vying for dominance in the south, were forcibly merged into one under the name ‘Simseong Iron Stars’ due to Vice Chairman Shin Jeong-hyeok’s immense financial power.

And the first real battle for the Simseong Iron Stars guild was the Southern Colony Siege.

Under Vice Chairman Shin Jeong-hyeok’s active support, the Iron Stars guild’s Southern Colony Siege was successful.

However, the Southern Colony Siege did not generate as much buzz as the Iron Stars and Vice Chairman Shin had anticipated.

Of course, the fact that rival guilds had merged, and that another powerful guild with two Over-Rankers had been born following JDG, as well as the fact that the Nine Great Guilds had been reduced to the Eight Great Guilds, was enough to talk about.

Under normal circumstances, that is.

Unfortunately, there was a bigger issue at hand.

The Dark Alliance and the Holy Alliance!

With the entire Ard World divided into two factions, and even the users who remained ‘neutral’ gradually deciding on their affiliation, the fact that Eugene and Drakan, the representative users of both factions, declared their sieges on the same date, had all the users’ attention focused on them.

[Your Drakan is acting like a coward lol Is it true that he only now declared a siege on the east?]

[Real talk, he abandoned the easterners after getting a boost from the north, and now he’s pretending to care. The hypocrisy is disgusting lol]

[Eugene-nim is attacking three simultaneously, but your Drakan is making a fuss over just one; are Alliance idiots always this boastful?]

[-Yook-]

[Ah, the Yookies are here to stir up trouble again; disgusting]

[Alliance cowards, if you had Five Eyes like your Yookjin, Drakan-nim would have conquered all the colonies worldwide long ago. Instead of just focusing on the central region like a coward lol Think about the power difference lol]

[Real talk, and besides Drakan-nim, is there any other user who cares about the east like this? Why is your precious Yookjin ignoring the east this time? Ah lol If you have Five Eyes, you should also care about the east lol]

And Drakan’s strategy of targeting the sense of belonging to the factions hit the mark, and the public opinion of the users was now almost completely divided into black and white.

The Dark Alliance and the Holy Alliance!

The keyboard battles between the users of the two factions had reached their peak, to the point where the administrators of Ard Forum, the large Ard Saga community, had to create separate bulletin boards for the Dark Alliance and the Holy Alliance, tired of the fights between the users of the two factions.

At that moment.

[Eugene-nim has started his broadcast!]

[Drakan’s broadcast is on!]

As promised, Eugene and Drakan started their broadcasts simultaneously.

And with that, the users of both factions split into two groups and headed to the channels of their respective representative users.

▄ ▄ ▄

The East.

Two massive armies were gathered around the gigantic colony rooted in the place where the former Gasan Kingdom’s royal castle once stood.

Drakan!

The western army, which he had gathered users from the north and mobilized the forces of the allied races to lead down, and Ignis’s eastern army, which had departed from Lawless Port Granado, had finally arrived at the colony.

The Alpha Mind, which had swallowed half of the east, commanded the monsters to block the advance of the eastern and western armies, but the monsters were no match for the overwhelming power of the Dark Alliance’s army.

Drakan turned on his broadcast while looking at the colony.

[For the Alliance!]

[Drakan-nim loyalty loyalty loyalty~]

[Heuk-oo has arrived!]

[Deu-ha, meaning Drakan-nim hi~]

Chats pouring in as soon as the broadcast started, and donations exploding as if they had been waiting!

Drakan smiled as he looked at the chat and donations.

Because his strategy of stimulating the Alliance users had been a huge success.

Despite openly scheduling the same broadcast time as Eugene and Five Eyes, the number of viewers on Drakan’s broadcast exceeded the usual.

Drakan looked at the colony standing tall beyond the occasional donations.

The Eastern Colony that had grown by swallowing the royal castle of the Gasan Kingdom!

At its center, just like in the north, stood the Alpha Mind.

[Eastern army has arrived.]

A whisper reached Drakan’s ears as he was looking at the Alpha Mind.

The eastern army, led by Ignis, who had departed from Lawless Port Granado with the Black Ring Society and JDG, leading the eastern users!

Ignis, the leader of the eastern army, had sent a whisper to Drakan.

“Confirmed. Attack.”

[Understood.]

Upon hearing Drakan’s order, flames erupted from Ignis’s body, who was at the forefront of the eastern army gathered on the opposite side of the Eastern Colony.

“Drakan-nim’s order has been given.”

The orange flames that had been engulfing Ignis’s body gathered at the tip of his right index finger.

The power of fire condensing into an orange fireball!

Ignis pointed his right index finger at the east gate of the former Gasan Kingdom’s royal castle, covered in mucous membrane, and said.

“Inferno.”

Kwa-gwang!

The orange flames that shot out from Ignis’s right index finger struck the east gate of the royal castle like a spear blade, and the east gate soon caught fire and collapsed.

And through that gap, monsters began to pour out.

“Attack.”

Seeing that, Ignis gave the order bluntly.

Ignis’s order was quickly relayed to the JDG executives through whispers, and the eastern users, who received the order, charged straight towards the monsters.

The eastern users who had only been beaten by the monsters until now!

They rushed towards the monsters, unleashing their pent-up anger.

Now, behind them were JDG and Ignis, and furthermore, the Dark Alliance and Drakan.

The culprit who burned down Lawless Port Granado and then completely destroyed the Pirate Alliance in the naval battle!

The victory that Drakan had left behind was not achieved by Drakan alone but was an experience achieved together with the eastern users, and therefore, the eastern users believed without a doubt that Drakan would once again lead them to victory in the Colony Siege.

“Long live Drakan-nim!”

“For the Alliance!”

“Level! Experience points!”

As the eastern army, led by Ignis, Khalid, the head of the Black Ring Society, and the densely packed eastern users, advanced into the colony, the western army was also charging towards the Eastern Colony, led by Drakan.

Drakan, who had now proudly ascended to the position of Over-Ranker, stood at the forefront of the western army, mercilessly cutting down monsters with the Iron Blood Executor, and the Dark Alliance army followed behind him.

“Steel Rain.”

Drakan, who was at the forefront, swiftly and accurately slaughtering monsters, raised the Iron Blood Executor to the sky and uttered the skill activation phrase.

At that moment, a crimson aura shot up from the sword Drakan held like a single blade, reaching the dark clouds covering the sky.

[Rumble!]

Along with that, the sound of thunder began to echo throughout the area.

Steel Rain!

One of the two ultimate skills Drakan currently possessed, along with Iron Blood Avatar!

His wide-area ultimate skill, which became famous for punishing the northern users who had aimed for his life in the war against the north, was once again revealed on the battlefield.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-gwang!

The rain of swords made of crimson aura that fell from the sky plunged straight into the ground, causing explosions throughout the battlefield.

Steel Rain, which had become even more powerful after reaching level 380 and increasing his Legacy Level, mercilessly slaughtered the monsters.

Drakan smiled as he watched the monsters, bombarded by the rain of aura, scream.

And behind Drakan, the Arch Lich was leading the army of the dead, and besides that, from vampires to werewolves and orcs!

Faced with the forces that included almost all the races of the Dark Alliance, as well as their leaders, the monsters were mercilessly cut down.

[I never expected the humans’ resistance to be this strong……]

The Alpha Mind, who saw this from the center, was bewildered.

Ard World!

The resistance of this small world, which was no different in size from the other worlds that the Conquest Lord, Hive Mind, had ordered to be invaded countless times, was more intense than any other invasion in history.

The brother located in the north had already been turned into minced meat by the attacks of the ‘Undead’ and the ‘Dark Alliance’, and the brother located in the south had also been killed by the natives not long ago.

However, even after seeing that sight, the eastern Alpha Mind did not give up on the invasion.

The powerful unified will that governs the entire race, the Hive Mind!

Disobeying its orders was something that could not happen, even for an Alpha Mind, a commanding entity with a high degree of autonomy in thought.

However, it could not just sit idly by and be killed by the natives like its brothers in the north and south.

[Send them up.]

The Alpha Mind’s dominance swept across the entire colony under its control.

And with that, grotesquely twisted flying objects rose from the giant nest that had sprung up in the colony.

The Hive Mind’s aerial weapons, which the werewolves who had lived in the Broken World for more than a decade called ‘Monster Dragons’!

As their name suggested, the Monster Dragons, which looked like wyverns entwined with tentacles, soared from all over the colony.

Unlike other regions where the major guilds of each region or NPC factions like kingdoms were leading the resistance against the colonies to some extent, the east was a region that had been helplessly ravaged by monsters for a week in real-time.

Therefore, the eastern Alpha Mind, which had collected a lot of organic matter and resources, had finally developed the colony to the point where it could produce ‘Monster Dragons’.

[I have awakened them, so the natives’ inferior army will soon fall!]

As the Monster Dragons, which took flight with the Alpha Mind’s roar, were about to attack the Dark Alliance’s army.

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]

A gigantic body made of bones revealed itself, splitting the dark clouds that filled the sky.

Bone Dragon!

One of the three most powerful undead under the Undead King had appeared.

Behind the Bone Dragon followed a mixed force of Bone Wyverns and regular Wyverns.

Drakan.

He had already discovered through reconnaissance that the enemy had aerial forces and had prepared aerial forces in advance.

A breath erupted from the Bone Dragon’s massive jaws, and Drakan smiled as he watched the Monster Dragons, struck by the breath, fall in droves, and the eastern Alpha Mind was bewildered.

But Drakan’s aim was not just this.

The Aken River, which was unusually wide, flowed through the center of the Gasan Kingdom’s royal castle, and this remained the same even now, after being eroded by the colony.

And beneath the deep river water, there were Merfolk who had hidden themselves from the eastern sea and swam upstream.

[The time has come. Go out and kill the monsters from another world.]

Merfolk King Nereus!

At his command, the Merfolk hidden in the river water leaped out all at once and landed inside the colony, throwing the colony into great chaos both inside and out.

This was because they were attacked from within while already struggling to hold back the Dark Alliance’s western and eastern armies that had arrived outside.

The tide of battle was clearly turning in favor of the Dark Alliance!

Drakan smiled as he watched the situation.

The time had finally come to swallow everything in the east.
