Chapter 576: The Perfect Party Play 1

After the massive update of the Warrior’s Village, all the users around the world had kept a keen eye on the content update of Kailan.

And because the update was a very monumental one in the history of Kailan.

It was a bonus that the content which had been released was interesting.

But right after the update server had opened, the fiery interest and drives faded away.

No. Rather than saying they have faded away, it would be better to say that it was ‘temporary’ loss of interest.

The Warrior’s Village content itself was for the top 0.01 percent users, so normal Kailan users couldn’t even access it.

Of course, even if they couldn’t play directly, there were many users who were enthusiastic about the plays of the ‘star players’.

The actions of the top rankers were the focus of attention for the other users.

The problem however, was that there was no window for the users to see the plays just yet.

Since all the top guilds around the world dealt with the information of the content were in secret, and no update related content had been leaked through any medium.

Of course, there were some users who couldn’t put up with the building curiosity and posted their dissatisfaction on the community.

– Ah, let’s do some proxy satisfaction. There surely must be a lot of rankers who would have tried for the warrior’s path, share some damn information!

– Sir, would you have shared the information? This is such a very important time… maybe all the top guild members are trying to bite a little content of the game?

– Right. Even if you are curious, try to hold yourself back for a while. You need at least to wait till the Korean server guilds wipe out the world rankings.

– Kyaa, just the thought is making my heart flutter…!

– Ha… even then, I’m curious about the content!

– Even if you are so curious about the content, don’t act like that in here, go to the headquarters of Kailan.

– Huh? LB company? What are you trying to say?

– Quickly open the content related to the Warrior’s village program like the YTBC. If you do that, they might let you know.

– Oh, too much of a hassle.

– Keu, that would be really great. I hope there is an organized regular broadcast corner.

– If that is done, maybe the ratings of the channel would explode.

Even though there was a debate about the new content, there wasn’t much to say about the content, as the content of the update hadn’t been made public.

But, exactly the morning of the update, an update about the new content coming out went crazy.

And it started with the LB’s official website.

Almost all of the communication with the users were carried out by the official Kailan community, which was why the homepage of LB was rarely visited.

A user had accidentally discovered a temporary channel that was opened in the corner of the homepage.

The channel’s name was:

-CH: 0025 (temporary)

-Day event in the Warrior’s Village (Week): Dimensional Mirror Battle

* * *

Just three minutes after entering the battlefield, Ian wasn’t thinking hard enough about the content of the ‘dimensional mirror’.

It just wasn’t an easy thing to do, of course, this was very easy for Ian who had battled till death with the monsters of the other Middle-Earth.

But it didn’t even take more than 10 minutes for him to realize that it was all just an illusion.

The moment when he came to understand the identity of the content, he realized how much harder he was supposed to fight.

‘Crazy…! This, this isn’t the kind where one after the other can be taken down?’

A situation made by the ‘Mirror Tower’.

And the screams of the commander ‘Parker’.

“Soldiers, don’t you dare be pushed back by the Asmodians!”

“Take one down and take another one down!”

“You didn’t know that the gap gets harder for the purpose of the win, right?”

“Sweep all those Asmodians and send them back to their place!”

Ian was able to see the mechanism of the ‘dimensional mirror’ and what it was designed for.

‘So, even the Asmodians are fighting the cavalry on the other side… if we catch one in here, then it is like catching one for them.’

It was a very simple thing, but it hadn’t been witnessed till then.

When he understood the structure of the content, Ian realized how he was supposed to play.

‘It is needed to take them one by one down. We have no chance if we fight like this, this isn’t an easy task.’

Ian looked over and found Mark Oliver in the middle of the battlefield.

Ian approached him as fast as he could and opened his mouth,

No, before Ian could even open his mouth, Oliver was the one to talk.

“Ian, did you understand the content?”

At the question of Oliver, Ian jumped a little.

He nodded and answered,

“Uh. To some extent… I think I understand.”

It wasn’t much time since they have fought together, but Ian was able to understand the gameplay of Mark Oliver.

So, before even talking about what he thought, he wanted to listen to what Oliver had to say.

And Oliver began to talk about the things that Ian expected.

“I don’t know, but you must have felt it, but it is important to get rid of one rather than to go for a wide-area attack.”

“Surely, I saw that.”

“For now, let’s choose the ones which are easy to cut down the vitality.”

At the response from Oliver, Ian nodded.

“Nice.”

Although the points that Oliver had stated were important, there was something much more important than that.

“But, Oliver.”

“Uh?”

“Are you able to trigger recovery or shielding skills?”

Oliver looked a bit puzzled but soon nodded.

“Available.”

“Then, as much as taking down the number of enemies that are needed, it is better to be careful about keeping the allies safe.”

“Ha…?”

“As time keeps moving, the number of allies that are safe will be proportional to the speed of killing the cavalry.”

And listening to that of Ian, Oliver couldn’t help but be shocked.

When he had heard the opinion of Ian, something in his head was telling him that it was the right decision.

‘Why didn’t I think of that?’

Till the moment, Oliver had been thinking of killing them to raise the public value.

And that was a very natural one.

The battle that was happening was just with NPCs, and rather than trying to save their allies’ life, it was important to raise the Hero Score even if it was just 1 point.

Of course, they would help the platoons of the same, but even that would be for the purpose of the promotion of the platoon.

But listening to what Ian had said, Oliver realized that his goals were shortcomings.

‘Now that I think about it, there was no time limit of the battle. And if we can’t win over the Asmodian camp, then there won’t be any rewards either.’

For the platoon to be promoted, the troops of the platoon had to be alive.

And for all the platoon to survive, the only way we had was to win the battle.

If they were defeated in the battle, then it would turn into a situation where all the army troops would be wiped out.

In addition, like Ian had said, if even one of them could be saved using a shield, then the DPS would be high.

And fully understanding what Ian had to say, Oliver nodded his head.

“Nice. Then, I’ll use the magic just as you have said.”

“Good to know.”

It was a very short exchange of ideas, but the two of them knew what the other was meant to say, and jumped into the battlefield at the same time.

Lichao who had been busy wielding his double swords wasn’t able to afford to deliver the strategy.

Unlike the two distance dealers, he was a combat dealer, so he wasn’t of much help in strategy making.

‘Like when we broke the rocks in the spirit mine… I’m just going to pull on my blow like a crazy person. And I need to make use of El’s barrier and Nick’s area saves.’

Ian glanced over at the mirror tower and checked the status board.

The numbers were constantly changing.

-Remaining devil dimensional cavalry: 102, 101 103, 100, 102…

-Remaining celestial army: 91, 90, 90, 89…

The number of the army was decreasing, but it wasn’t easy to take down the devil dimensional cavalry.

Even then, the army was constantly taking down the dimensional cavalry, and it was the same with the Asmodians too.

Instead of reducing the dimensional cavalry, they were getting pushed by the Asmodians.

‘If the cavalry on this side is 102, and the camp on that side is 98.’

Such a difference was hard to overcome with time.

Over time, the differences will increase and blow up in their faces.

‘This is going to be hard to change. I need to change this situation somehow.’

It was just 10 minutes since the battle had started.

Ian seemed like he was trying to brainwash himself.

“From this very moment…”

In a firm murmur,

“No one gets to die without my permission.”

And subsequently, at the front of the battlefield, Nick’s ‘Guardian of the Sun God’ began to unfold.

* * *

Killing the cavalry and maintaining their troops.

Those two were very hard to weigh when placed side by side.

But, it was proportional to the fighting ability of the users.

The stronger were the power of the users in the battle, the more important would it be to take down the enemies, and the weaker they get, the more troops they get to maintain.

Depending on the combat of the users, the DPS will be present.

For the very reason, Ian decided to focus on the part of saving an ally than reducing the enemy.

And in the current situation, two to three elite troops gathered could provide better DPS than Ian, so it was better to defend them.

In particular, the commander who led the platoon wasn’t allowed to die no matter the situation was.

“El, Dragonic Barrier!”

“Okay, Dad!”

Upon the order from Ian, El jumped up, raised and gathered both her hands while she was in the air.

Creating a white glow of white light which shielded most of the nearby armies.

At the same time, the unique ability of BBookbbook, ‘Blessing of Abyss’ began to unfold.

Woong-!

Low resonance rang out everywhere and a blue abyss energy started to pour out of Bbookbbook.

Most of the NPCs in the army began to recover their lost vitality.

“Oh-oh, the power!”

“I can fight more bravely now!”

Receiving the strong barrier and heal, the swordsman began to wield the swords again.

Surprisingly, the chart which seemed to lean on the efforts of Ian began to return to the origin.

-Remaining devil dimensional cavalry: 102, 100, 101, 99, 100…

-Remaining celestial army: 89, 89…

And came the familiar voice of Kaka, the darkness began to spread on the field.

“Darkness… come upon us…”

Woong-!

Kaka’s ‘Dreaming Devil’ a unique ability that Ian frequently used.

The special advantage of the unique ability was the dark attribute.

It buffs the allies with dark attributes and debuffs the enemies with dark attributes.

And with the basic buff, there was a 5 percent attack buff attached to it.

It was a buff which increased the attack damage of the allies regardless of the attributes.

And when more than a dozen of the 5% gathered, it could do quite a lot of damage.

[The ‘Devil Dimensional Cavalry’ has been killed!]

[The ‘Devil Dimensional Cavalry’ has been killed!]

… syncopation…

[You have successfully defeated the ‘Devil Dimensional Cavalry’.]

[The ‘Merit Score’ of the Warrior’s village has been increased by 1 point.]

[Contribution of the 7th Platoon increased by 10.]

[You have earned 2 Hero points.]

And just as he had noticed that Kaka’s buff was a channeling skill, Mark Oliver quickly triggered the detecting magic to hide the location of Kaka.

[The party member ‘Mark Oliver’ has triggered ‘Detecting Illusion’.]

[For 240 seconds, ‘Kaka’ will no longer be exposed to the enemies (detecting will be disabled when attacking or attacked.)]

The channeling skill of Kaka, ‘Dreaming Devil’, was a skill that needed the caster to stand still while invoking it.

And if she was attacked while the skill is in use, the buffs and debuffs would disappear.

In the meantime, Mark Oliver, who caught onto the fact, provided proper support.

As the efforts of the two combined, the lives started to fall rapidly.

-Remaining Devil Dimension cavalry: 99, 97, 98, 95, 94…

The ‘snowballs’ that Ian and Mark Oliver had hoped for, began to roll.
