Chapter 126 War Preparation (1) (1/2)
Volume 6 Chapter 1
[My head hurts.]
The Sword God pressed down his annoyance that kept on swelling up.
After he had declared independence from the One-horned tribe along with the Spear God, the world was just a big wall to him.
Wherever he went, there were obstacles and trials.
But everytime, he won in the end. He dropped his enemies, stole, stepped on them, and stood back up.
And eventually, his surroundings were filled with people like him, and now they were able to be Cheonghwado’s foundation.
So to the Sword God, the world was a wall, but it was also something that he just needed to keep on overcome.
In the past, it was Arthia, and now, it was Red Dragon.
But unlike Arthia, which he was able to easily destroy, Red Dragon was like an iron wall that he couldn’t ever break down.
That was probably to be expected, however, because Red Dragon was a clan that was considered to rule the Tower. And they were the only group strong enough to stand against Allforone.
A fight could only be difficult. Although Cheonghwado had comparatively less players, they had the more skilled ones.
So occasionally, some people said that the only people able to be on equal standing with the Red Dragon was Cheonghwado.
However, the owner of Cheonghwado, Sword God, knew. That it was all bull shit.
Even if Cheonghwado gathered all their full strength, they were still rookies compared to Red Dragon.
The famous 81 Eyes was only the beginning. There were thousands of rankers associated with the Red Dragon, and that wasn’t even including the thousands of inactive players.
More than anything else, Red Dragon had something the other clans didn’t have.
History and culture.
The birth of Red Dragon was from a long time ago.
At the time, many rankers had gathered on the 77th floor to bring Allforone down, and they became a clan. That clan eventually turned into a large organization and left their legacy for the future.
So Red Dragon became a clan that was larger than what was known, and it became an organization that was so tightly organized that it couldn’t be easily defeated.
The number of players that had been dispatched to the 11th floor was only the tip of the iceberg that was Red Dragon.
And just with that, they were able to oppose Cheonghwado. No, to be exact, they were bypassing them.
They had even brought in the One-horned tribe by having the Spear God pledge on his horn, but if Red Dragon really wanted to, Cheonghwado would be crushed.
The only reason keeping Red Dragon from doing that was because they didn’t want to suffer a loss so they were just hesitating.
But Red Dragon definitely wasn’t planning on backing off.
And so the Sword God was deep in thought.
He didn’t even want to be at war with the Red Dragon in the first place. He had only carried through with this because they attacked Leonte first, and he wanted to finish the war as soon as he could.
But if he didn’t, not only would the term ‘Nine Kings’ disappear, the fact that they had surrendered to the Red Dragon would spread.
And then, Cheonghwado’s reputation would turn downhill.
Confidence and self-esteem. These were the two things that Cheonghwado was famous for.
And that couldn’t just disappear.
And so. The Sword God was concerned.
[Is the only solution the ‘Sword’ now?]
Even if Cheonghwado was smaller, they were still one of the large clans.
They had a hidden weapon.
But to activate it, they needed a large amount of magic power. Even the Sword God himself couldn’t freely use that much.
The Sword God called in ‘sword.’
However, depending on how it was used, it could be a spear, arrow, or an Axe.
This was an item of a god that was thought of as a god itself.
So he had never imagined using it despite having it, but now he was having different thoughts.
[It’s still incomplete. But I should get Leonte out.]
To use the ‘sword’ he had stayed silent about it even though he knew what Leonte did.
Stone. The all-rounder item. It would be a big help in using the ‘sword.’
And so the Sword God organized his thoughts. To throw away Leonte. And to obtain the ‘sword’ even if it was incomplete.
[Is there someone, outside?]
After his judgment, he needed to make commands right away.
When he revealed his intent, his subordinate entered the room with his head bowed.
“Did you call me?”
[I have something to say to the Fist God.]
“Yes, sir.”
His subordinate blended into the shadows. And as he waited for Leonte to come, Leonte’s servant came in instead. With the face of someone in a bad mood.
“There’s been trouble.”
[What is it?]
“The Saber God….is trying to hurt the Fist God.”
[What?]
The Sword God’s face froze.
***
Clang!
“This crazy bastard! How many times do I have to say that I don’t have that!”
“I didn’t ask you where it was. I said to bring it.”
Leonte swallowed with a nervous face. The Saber God’s eyes were burning up.
His raw aura was swirling around Leonte like a tornado, and the 9 swords on the ground were vibrating like they were going to attack any second.
It was a fight that even Arthia had to struggle through. The murderous intent of the Saber God felt like it was choking Leonte.
Earlier, the Saber God had come to the resting Leonte and spoke a few simple words.
-Stone, give it.
When Leonte heard that, his head turned white.
The truth that he had been trying to hide was somehow known by the Saber God now.
But on one hand, he felt like crying.
The reason he had struggled all this time was because of the stone. But now that Saber God was telling him to give it up, he felt like this was unbelievable.
So he said he didn’t have it. No, he said that he didn’t know what he was talking about.
And the reply that came back was this.
Murderous intent.
The Saber God’s eyes had a violent look like he was going to rip Leonte apart.
“Bring it.”
A growling voice.
