[To Space-3? Seong Jihan, The Master, ascends once again.]
[What is Seong Jihans guild mission? Revealed to be swapping out guild mbers.]
[Despite no rewards being disclosed for the guild mission, all rankers are eagerly lining up.]
[Is a minimum of 200 million GP the criteria for joining the Daegi guild? The competition over guild rewards intensifies.]
Seong Jihans guild mission.
Even though the exact rewards were not yet disclosed, public interest was ablaze.
Given that the guild mission was a path to Space-3 Area, everyone speculated that the rewards would undoubtedly be significant.
We cut off at rank 500 but it seems like there was no need. The TOP 100 all applied.
In the Daegi guilds office,
Lee Hayeon listed the applicants with a face suggesting she had expected as much.
But the lower-ranked individuals are offering two to three tis more GP to get in What should we do? One person even offered ten tis more.
Lets foster a little GP competition, then cut off based on ranking. Surely the TOP 100 can afford the amount, cant they?
No matter how much the lower-ranked players offered, the rankers within the TOP 100 had the assets to pay such amounts.
Yes. Then, the negotiation period will be
Lets end it today. Theres no need to drag out the price negotiations.
Understood. Ill proceed with further negotiations until this evening.
Lee Hayeon, with a determination burning within her, led the negotiation team to conduct the affairs.
After all, in this player selection, the Daegi guild held the upper bargaining chip.
But our guild staff has increased a lot.
Yeah. Theres so much work, isnt there? To avoid incidents like last ti, weve only brought in people ensured by the National Intelligence Service. Our conditions are almost the highest among guilds, so whenever we post recruitnt ads, people flock in.
Is that so?
Uncle, arent you paying too little attention?
Lee Hayeon will handle it just fine.
The Daegi guild was initially created for growth bonuses.
The core of the Daegi guild was the growth gift possessed by Lee Hayeon.
Since Lee Hayeon also took care of guild operations, Seong Jihan had no intention of getting involved.
It was a good decision to appoint Lee Hayeon as the guild master.
Seeing the guild running well even without his involvent, Seong Jihan smiled contentedly and returned ho.
And as soon as he returned, waiting for him was,
Youre here?
Sophia?
Sophia was having coffee in the living room.
Ah, Sophias here? Did you use the training room again today?
Yes. Thank you, Seah.
Seong Jihan steps behind her, Yoon Seah was waving her hand, seemingly accustod to Sophias presence.
Sophia has been using our hos training room just like Hayeon unnie.
Is that so? We havent run into each other, though.
You were hardly ho, Jihan.
Sophia pouted slightly before quickly changing her expression.
Jihan~ But can I really go on the guild mission? I havent entered the TOP 100 rankings yet.
Of course.
Hehe, to think an Arican First alumna like could get permission Does this an Im truly becoming a real mber of the Daegi guild?
Initially on loan from Arican First, Sophia, who had co to Korea for the Constellation Quest, had been making various efforts to beco a true mber of the Daegi guild.
Lately, in place of the often-absent Seong Jihan.
Between Yoon Seah and Lee Hayeon, and the other Daegi guild mbers, Sophia had managed to make her mark.
But ultimately, the most critical factor was the willingness of the owner, Seong Jihan.
He looked at Sophia, who had sparkling eyes, and smiled wryly.
Do you really want to join that badly?
Yes! Ive told Arican First everything!
What did you tell them?
That I can leave anyti, so they shouldnt pay a salary.
Alright, then co on in.
Oh, Uncle, really?
Why not? Theres no need to refuse now.
At Seong Jihans words, Sophia stood up excitedly.
Really!?
Yes.
Wow! Finally!
After hopping around jubilantly for a while, Sophia,
Are you that happy?
Of course~ Hehe.
sat back down with a smiling face and brought the coffee cup to her lips.
Im so happy! This morning, Pythia said that the transfer of the Holy Fla would be delayed, so I was disappointed. I didnt think Id have such a happy event in the afternoon!
The transfer of the Holy Fla? Why is it being delayed?
Oh, Pythia said shed be making a great prophecy for a while. And she added
She stopped speaking and glanced at Yoon Seah.
Ah, Seah, Pythia said to tell Jihan alone
Got it.
As Yoon Seah went to her room,
Sophia closed her eyes and spread open her palm.
Whoosh!
From there burst forth a white fla.
Pythias Fla, now significantly more intense than before, gently rose and flew towards Seong Jihan.
Pythia said the third technique will likely be closely related to this fla.
Is that so?
Yes. she added that it might be related to the Manifestation of the End
Manifestation of the End.
Until the summoning of the Sword Rain, Pythia had mistakenly believed this to be her power.
Now that its determined not to be her power, she considers it the third power of fire?
Hmm Manifestation of the End is definitely not it.
Seong Jihan frowned.
The third martial art technique of annihilation that had lost its na.
But Manifestation of the End sounded too grandiose for what he rembered.
Rather, it was more of a feeling like, how could sothing like this be a technique of annihilation?
I clearly knew before I should have written it down.
Seong Jihan thought as he observed the fla in front of him.
It was the first ti he was seeing Pythias Fla after acquiring the stat Red.
Can I absorb this?
Of course~
Seong Jihan reached out to the fla.
It swiftly dwindled and entered Seong Jihans body.
Woosh!
Perhaps because of the stat bonus, Seong Jihan was able to understand the essence of the absorbed fla to so extent.
The attributes of fire and water are mixed.
Two opposing elents that restrict each other and shouldnt be able to mix originally.
However, Pythias Fla was uniquely hiding water attributes within.
Even for Seong Jihan, who possessed the power of red, how to manifest this phenonon was incomprehensible.
Hiss
Just as Seong Jihan set about to observe the fla more closely, it extinguished.
Could you do it one more ti?
The fla? Of course!
He asked Sophia to raise the fla again.
After absorbing and analyzing it multiple tis,
I still dont understand.
Seong Jihan ultimately couldnt grasp how Pythias Fla produced such power.
While he pondered deeply about this,
O-Once more okay!
Sophia, now significantly paler and sweating profusely compared to before, struggled to raise the fla again.
This is going to kill soone at this rate.
No, lets do it next ti. I cant fully grasp it at my current level.
Wh-Whew yes.
Relieved at Seong Jihans words, Sophia slumped into her chair, catching her breath. Suddenly rembering sothing, she spoke to Seong Jihan.
Ah, right. Pythia said she might be unable to send ssages due to interference, so shell communicate through for a while.
Soone is interfering with Pythia?
She didnt specify who it was to either But she ntioned to always check the surroundings before conveying her ssage.
Thats why you asked Seah to leave.
Yes, especially to be careful around players with Constellations
Players with Constellations.
Is Gilgash interfering?
Seong Jihan thought of Gilgash, who recently beca the sponsoring constellation of nurous players.
But whether its Gilgash or Pythia, they are of the sa kind. How could one interfere with the other?
Even if Gilgash holds a special position among his kind, is such a thing even possible?
He considered the intervention of another entity besides Gilgash, but there was too little information to speculate anything.
Ill have to ask directly later.
Until he could communicate directly with Pythia again, Seong Jihan decided to go through Sophia as an interdiary.
Then Jihan. Should I just naturalize this opportunity?!
Lets think about that a bit more.
He stalled her, who had recovered her spirits and was pushing for naturalization.

[The Daegi guild is assigned to the special defense map, Northern Wall.]
[Behind the giant walls, halt the invasion of unknown beings.]
[Receive racial bonuses for 10 rounds.]
Flash!
As the ga began, players from the Daegi guild were summoned onto the map.
Being mostly world rank TOP 100 players, they were the elite of the elite from Earth.
However, initially tensed about Seong Jihans guild mission, they felt,
This is the Northern Wall?
For sothing called a giant wall, its rather underwhelming.
It seems just like the walls in the Southgate map. If thats the size, then
disbelief upon seeing the actual scale of the summoned Northern Wall.
Looking north, they saw extensive white fortifications stretching.
To the south of the wall was a sunlit area, while the north was shrouded in darkness.
A clear contrast between light and shadow.
Then,
Hey, there sothings moving!
From within the dark land, sothing writhed.
Erging one by one were massive worms gleaming with a blue light.
Ugh, worms right from the start
Theyre fast. Theyre already at the walls base.
They dont seem that strong though?
Seong Jihan, what should we do?
Seong Jihan, upon the rankers inquiry, drew out his shadow sword Eclipse.
Fundantal Divine Art, Triad of Martial Mastery Total Annihilation Horizontal Sweep
Swoosh!
One sword strike split the worm horde gathering at the walls base.
Theyre weak.
The lack of resistance on the sword indicated they were an easy adversary.
They dont seem very strong. Would you like to try handling them? Ill back you up.
Understood!
Encouraged by Seong Jihan offering backup, the rankers actively engaged the intruders.
The battle comnced, resulting in,
What?
Why are they so weak?
Its unexpectedly bland
An easy victory for the Daegi guild.
[You have cleared round 1.]
This one-sided battle scenario continued not only in the first round but until, the racial bonus round 10 was completed.
[You have cleared round 10.]
[You have cleared the bonus rounds.]
[The guild leader is awarded the Guild Symbol.]
Flash!
A silver shining cube appeared in Seong Jihans palm.
Which soon,
[Youve cleared the bonus rounds without any guild mber demise.]
[Guild Symbol upgrades to Guild Symbol 2.]
with an additional ssage, grew and changed in color to gold.
[The Guild Symbol enables more efficient defense of the Northern Wall.]
[Absorbing symbols from other guilds will enhance the Guild Symbols effect.]
Other guilds?
Other guilds, which had not shown even a hint of their presence up to the bonus rounds.
Would different races start appearing from the 11th round?
Then,
Rumble
What, whats that?
The wall, why is it
The Northern Wall that humanity stood upon began expanding suddenly.
Inside the ga map, where the sunlit and shadowed sides seed to stretch indefinitely, now both soared endlessly high, soon forming a massive wall.
And then,
[New guilds have arrived.]
Atop the entirely transford scale of the Northern Wall were,
[These guys They look weak.]
[Kill them.]
Gigantic octopuses, with their tentacles writhing, tightly surrounded the human players.
[Hand over the symbol.]
[Do so, and you might just escape disqualification.]
Ssshlurp!
A tentacle stretched towards Seong Jihans hand before the voice even finished speaking.
Greeting the newly arrived guild in such a hostile manner, these were unmistakably BattleNet players.
Seong Jihan chuckled upon seeing the massive tentacle.
Well, isnt it nice of them to co at like this. Its like theyre giving it to .
Eclipse, the shadow sword, shimred.
Shhhing!
Tentacles fell all around.
Not stopping there, Seong Jihan, flying towards the lead octopus, extending his hand in a breezy voice said,
Hey, give it here.
