Chapter 184: Surprise Attack
The Informant, Abel, recently heard GM Genie singing,?‘Summoner, summoner~’. So, he called and met with Kerry, the number one player in the Summoner Rankings. Unfortunately, Kerry had told him that she was already a part of her friend’s guild, so she could not transfer to Legend Guild.
However, Kerry said, “Why don’t you ask the Envoy of Incarnation to join Legend Guild?”
“Envoy of Incarnation?”
“Ah. Yes. You don’t know? Well... Only a few among the summoners know about him.”
Abel listened intently to Kerry’s explanation about the Envoy of Incarnation. From what he heard, his identity was hidden and only small bits of information had been gathered about him. Abel was impressed after hearing everything about the envoy. He thought,?‘There’s such a player in our country?’
Abel could tell that the player was a big shot. The more he listened to Kerry’s story, the more he realized how powerful that player was.
Then, Kerry said, “I heard that he’s an African boy.”
“Yes? An African boy?” Abel asked, brows furrowing.
‘An African boy? There’s an African boy in Korea?’
Just then, Abel remembered Genie saying,?‘I have found a younger brother. His name is Kaistra and he’s African. He’s extremely cute!’.
“By, by any chance... his name...” Abel asked in a trembling voice.
“I think it’s Kaistra?”

Dash!
Genie hurried outside, shouting, “These crazy f*ckers!”
Her eyes widened in shock. There were dozens of magical attacks running rampant and attacking the entire estate.
“Evacuate the people first!” Genie quickly shouted an order to the soldiers as she began to run.
[Guild Master Genie: Bachran Guild launched a surprise attack. Head back to Valhalla right now!]
It seemed like they were prepared. They even went so far as to aim for them when most of their guild members had been out.
Genie thought, ‘These f**kers are really daring, huh?’
They would definitely incur a huge amount of criticism by doing this. However, this meant that they were going to gain a lot since they were willing to put this much on the line.
Then, Genie saw something shocking.
‘W…what the hell is that? Anubis?’
It was a jackal. However, this creature had the face of a dog, while having a muscular upper body and walking on two legs. Hundreds of these creatures were attacking the entrance of the estate.
“Keuaaaaack!”
“Ugh, aaaaaack!”
“Sa…save me!”
In addition, the troops that were guarding the site easily fell down in one sword strike. They could not even resist a single attack. This meant that the creatures were at least around Level 300~370.
“Goddamnit!”
Genie quickly sent an order to the captain of the knights that were protecting the territory. She said, “I’ll block the entrance first. Quickly evacuate our citizens to safety!”
If their citizens died, the level of satisfaction would drop and the level of their land would also decrease. Once they lose the trust of their citizens, this territory would definitely be over. Genie hurriedly ran to the gate.
“Locke!”
“What the hell is going on?!”
“Fight first!”
Locke quickly ran together with Genie.
Crackle!
[Blazing Whip!]
[Powerful and blazing flames can extinguish your enemies in one go.]
Her whip stretched out and lashed at the Anubis.
Puhaaaa!
Her whip’s blazing flames engulfed the Anubis. However, there was a problem.
‘It didn’t die...?’
Based on this, she could tell that these creatures had enormous HP and high magical defense.
“Keuhahaaha!?Come on!” Locke shouted as he blocked the monsters pushing through the entrance. He hacked his ax indiscriminately and began his slaughter.
Chiiiiiik!
Locke’s Crazy Priest’s Heal triggered and landed on the Anubises’ bodies making their bodies rot quickly.
“Keuooooooo!”
“Keuaaaaaaack!”
Unfortunately, the Anubises were much stronger than they thought. Soon, the problem became even bigger when the guild members of Bachran Guild showed up one after the other.
“Die!”
“Start with the Guild Master!”
“...Shit!”
Their guild members were not yet here. Genie bit her lips.
‘Today...’
Several of her guild members had gathered earlier to play football. Anyway, that football is a bastard! Anubises and the Bachran Guild Members continued to flock towards the entrance. Locke and Genie began to get tired and exhausted. Even though the troops rushed out from the inside of the territory, they still fell down helplessly in front of such strong adversaries.
At that moment, a player wearing a Pharaoh’s mask appeared. Then, he lifted his staff encrusted with jewels in the air.
[Pharaoh’s Curse.]
[All stats temporarily reduced by 15%]
[Attack Hit Rate has been reduced by 10%]
[Critical Hit Rate has been reduced by 20%]
[Pharaoh’s Shackles.]
[Reduces attack speed and movement speed by 10%]
“...!”
It was a wide area debuff effect. Even Genie, someone with high resistance against debuff, was affected, which showed just how much worse the troops behind her were. Eventually, Genie, Locke and the rest of the troops were pushed back. Then...
“Noona.”
“...?”
Genie looked to the side, only to see Kaistra with his rubber gloves. She said, “Kaistra! Get behind Noona! It’s dangerous!”
“Please! Let me join the guild. Didn’t you say that you will let me join?”
Genie had already asked her guild members and they all decided to accept Kaistra as their guild member. Of course, they believed that Kaistra was a weak African boy, but their guild members were happy to accept him when they heard about his ‘sad and pitiful’ story from Genie.
“Huh?”
“I want to stay with Minhyuk. And this place belongs to Minhyuk, no, the Lord.”
“...”
Genie could not understand what he was trying to say. ‘What is wrong with him? Can’t he see the urgent situation in front?’ However, there was no time to ponder. Genie decided to accept him in the guild first, thinking that she should take him to a safer place after doing so.
[Would you like to accept Kaistra as a member of Legend Guild?]
Genie nodded in answer. Not long after, a notification about Kaistra joining the guild popped up, then Kaistra suddenly said, “Noona, it’s dangerous. Please stay back.”
“Kaistra. You...!”
Kaistra passed by Genie and Locke. He could see a huge number of Anubises coming through the entrance. Then, he quickly took off his rubber gloves and tucked them safely into his inventory.
“As expected. This suits me better,” Kaistra said as a scimitar appeared in his hands.
Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle?
Then, the black leather armor that he had hidden popped out of his wrist, and wrapped around his body. A helmet that was shaped like a wolf also appeared on his head.
“You, you...!”
Genie’s eyes widened in surprise. She could tell that his scimitar was unusual with just one look. There was also a strange energy that flowed around Kaistra, something that she had not seen in the boy before.
At that moment, Genie received a whisper.
[Abel: GM. That younger brother of yours, Kaistra. He’s an African boy, right?]
[Genie: Abel, that’s not important right now! Come here quickly! The territory is in danger right now!!!]
Whenever Abel collected information, he always turned off his guild chat. It was so that he could concentrate. Therefore, it was possible that he was still unaware of the mess that was happening in the territory right now.
[Abel: Kaistra. He’s the African boy that became your younger brother. Genie, you told me about it before, right?!]
She could feel a faint sense of urgency from Abel’s whisper, so Genie answered him, albeit dumbfounded and puzzled.
[Genie: Yes, that’s right. But why...?]
Genie looked back at Kaistra. She saw a white wolf appear from the crack in the space that appeared beside Kaistra. Then, Kaistra climbed on the back of the wolf.
[Abel: Envoy of Incarnation. Kaistra. He owns one of the only five incarnations in the country. He’s ranked ninth in the unofficial global rankings. And in our country...]
Bang!
Genie was unable to check the rest of the contents of the whisper, because there was a sudden explosion that made her turn away from the conversation. ?She saw Kaistra sitting on top of the white wolf and turning into a flash of light, as he weaved through the throngs of Anubis and destroyed them one by one, while turning the players flocking at the entrance gray. The Incarnation of Light, Penrus, jumped into the middle of the battlefield and howled loudly.
“Awoooooooooo?”
[Penrus’ Blessing]
[All abnormal status will be released.]
[All guild members’ stats will increase by +8%.]
[All abnormal status of Legend Guild in Valhalla Town will be lifted.]
The notifications rang as a sphere of light floated from Penrus’ mouth and split into dozens of smaller spheres that struck the Anubis in the vicinity.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Dozens of Anubises had disappeared in one shot. Genie turned her head and saw that the abnormal condition of the troops behind her had been lifted and released. Even dozens of them all at once! Her expression hardened as she looked at her whispers once again.
[Abel: He’s the number one player in our country’s unofficial rankings!]
***
Carn, along with other assassin class members, was tasked by Crone to kill the territory’s Deputy Lord. They were currently hurrying towards their destination when he thought, ‘Isn’t the Deputy Lord that crazy old grandpa that I saw yesterday? Then it will be easy.’
He quickly found the old man and moved together with the five assassins. Only around 200 members of Bachran Guild had come. With Pharaoh, a god class, on their side, he was sure that everyone in this territory, including the members of Legend Guild, would die in less than an ?hour. Once they died, they would receive penalties and would not be able to log in. Once that happened, they could deal a lot of damage in their territory and pick up all of the artifacts that they had dropped. Carn grinned darkly at the thought.
Not long after, he found the old man in a huge restaurant. Carn slammed the door open. He believed that it was such a waste to use his assassination and concealment skills just to kill an old man like that, so he blatantly went inside. This was the biggest mistake that he ever made in his life. Assassins were supposed to always be careful and meticulous. He should have checked the exact number of people inside the place, but since he was underestimating the old man that he had seen yesterday, he just rushed straight through the door.
As soon as he entered, Carn could not help but tilt his head in confusion. He could see ten people sitting in front of a large table with the crazy old man leisurely sipping his tea at the end of the table.
Grandpa Ben was really angry right now. It was because the ten spear masters had just learned that Minhyuk, the ‘Lord’, had told Grandpa Ben to make coffee and they could not stop themselves from cursing him out in rage.
As for Ben, he could not let that go. Just as he was about to unleash his wrath, some youngsters broke into the restaurant.
“What the hell? Gramps? Shouldn’t you get along well?” Carn giggled, despite not understanding the situation in front of him.
However, the guild members behind him were thinking differently.
‘I’m sure he said that he was a senile old man...’
‘What the hell is this?’
“Gramps...”
A small smile grazed Ben’s lips as he picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table. Then, he inserted some mana in the chopsticks and said, “Since you called me gramps, then I think I should start with you.”
Fwoosh!
Ben threw the chopsticks. The chopsticks flew through the air and stabbed straight through Carn’s neck and even tore the cheek of the assassin that was standing behind him.
“Ack!”
[You have been hit on your vital point.]
[You are experiencing heavy bleeding and difficulty in breathing.]
[If you don’t stop the bleeding within 5 seconds, you will die.]
“Keok!”
Carn blindly grabbed his neck. He tried to stop the bleeding, but he stumbled and hit his head on the ground. His posture was literally a ‘kowtow’.
Then, Ben slowly stood up from his seat and grabbed his spear. One of the guild members who came with Carn let out a hiccup in fright.
“H…hic! Hic!”
‘Y…you said he was a senile old man!’
The old man looked completely different from the information that they had received. His aura was so menacing, that all they could do was shrink in fear.
Then, they heard Grandpa Ben mumble, “Gramps? Tsk. Kids these days really have no manners.”
“...”
“...”
The guild members were left speechless when they heard his words. Then, a tactless guild member suddenly said, “He…he was the one who said it. We didn’t say it…so can’t you just let us go...?”
That guild member’s voice was filled with despair and tears. Then, Grandpa Ben smiled softly at him and said, “Yeah. Impossible.”
