V52C6P3 – Weed and Bard RayON JANUARY 23, 2019 BY MIMOSAB Thanks to all proofreaders who worked on this part: Armada, TysonSlayer, Seviper9, PuszekSE, Auryum, Seb & EvilSanta1423 .

A huge crowd gathered around the location prepared for the showdown between Weed and Bard Ray . “Everyone please be seated . It may be inconvenient but this way, more people will be able to spectate . ” Under the directions of Lemon, the saintess of the Grass Porridge Cult, the crowd sat down on the ground . Users sitting on the ground were wearing armor of different shapes and colors, reminiscent of a grain field .

“We can’t see anything back here . ” “Sigh… I can’t see the fight between Weed and Bard Ray? No way!” Enormous sculptural creatures that were brought to life in the Garnav Plains approached the users in the far back . They were beings fit to be bosses at levels ranging around 700 to 800, with the size of mountains .

“Humans . Climb onto our shoulders and back . ” “Spectate comfortably from higher grounds . ” The enormous sculptural creatures graciously offered their heads and backs for the humans to climb . They had optimistic and kind personalities because they were sculpted by many humans . Hundreds of supersized sculptural creatures . Over a hundred thousand users were able to climb up to spectate the fight and the sky was covered by Avians . The Avians each had as many users riding on their backs as possible .

“Will Weed-nim win?” “Of course he will . ” “Bard Ray will be very powerful… There are rumors that he learned 6 secret sword skills . ” “Such a spectacle it will be . ” “Objectively, I think Bard Ray is superior . Though in my heart I want to root for Weed-nim . ”r The users’ excitement blew up in anticipation of the battle that would soon happen before their eyes . Some thought they would witness a great fight, while others were admiring Weed’s spirit for a challenge .

“He would have won the war staying still, but instead he took it to a duel . ” “That is because he is Weed-nim . ” The atmosphere was full of expectation as the best of the Versailles Continent was to be decided soon .

“Whoo . This is quite a crowd . ” Pale and the other comrades arrived at the battle location . They were worn out like rags due to battling against the Hermes guild members on their way here . Weed and Bard Ray . Even their close companions were eager to see a spectacular battle, and Surka burst out suddenly .

“Let’s all bet on who will win!”“… 100 gold on Weed . ” “1000 gold on Weed . ” “I’m betting all my life savings on Weed-nim . ” “We can’t have a bet this way . ” “Then Python should bet on Bard Ray . ” “That’s… All-in on Weed . ”

There was a long silence between them . This wasn’t about rooting based on loyalty or honor . They had spent too much time with Weed for them to do so .

“It was Weed who proposed this fight . Honestly, I think that Bard Ray would come out ahead . But the point is that Weed proposed it first . ” “Pale is right . It means Weed prepared a guaranteed strategy to win . A perfect trap . A backstab . ” Seasoned Crab shook his head in response to Irene .

“Not necessarily . There’s a variable for every situation . You really think Bard Ray did not come prepared to fight Weed?” “Weed would have planned tricks for such situations as well . ” “Hmm…” Seasoned Crab simulated Weed and Bard Ray’s duel a bit in his head, but it was uncertain to determine the outcome before they actually begin their battle . Godly Warrior Bard Ray . He had an impressive combat history and fame in his own standing . The figure of Bard Ray leading the Haven Imperial army was thought to be befitting of his nickname ‘Godly Warrior’ by users across the Central Continent .

“Alright . To establish this betting game, I will bet 10,000 gold on Bard Ray’s win . ” Surka screamed thinking that someone finally fell for it .

“Yes! Free money!”

Hermes guild members arrived at the battle location with an imposing figure, herding demonic beasts .

“Wow . It is Bard Ray himself . ” “Giant Knight Boemong! Amazing…” “I was able to learn the ropes of Royal Road by watching Ranger Troker’s Dark Mountain guide . ” Users were in awe watching Bard Ray and the other Royal Road’s best rankers . These figures who rarely showed up even on broadcast had appeared riding on vicious demonic beasts . The Hermes guild was very infamous around the world but the northern users did not know much about them and only picked out the most famous ones of all .

“Bard Ray is really handsome . ” “He did not spend a single stat point into charm . But he has the equipment boost giving him that handsome aura . ” “Plainly, Bard Ray wins just for being good-looking . ” There were positive comments about the Hermes guild, but as the rest of their forces arrived the views of the spectating users began to change . “They all have murderer marks on their foreheads . ” “It means they killed a considerable number . ” “In Morata I’ve never seen a murderer inside the city walls . ” “Hermes guild members would kill anyone to defend the supremacy of their guild . ” “Their equipment looks really powerful . They’re all wearing the Serodei armor considered to be the best out of all the late 400 level equipment . ” “Their character is not so good, but they are skilled . I’ll admit that . ” “Hey hey, I still can’t sleep at night because of my experience of their assault back in Central continent . ” “How bad were they?”

There were novice users but there were also skilled users over level 400 among the crowd . They glared at the Hermes guild with resentment in their eyes .

“Tell me about it . They would hit you for no reason, take your money and bully you in dungeon grinds…” “Really? You aren’t lying?” “They kill because they are annoyed . They were practically acting as tyrants . ” Hermes guild members were a tad bit uneasy due to the crowd that had filled the Garnav Plains .

‘By the way… Isn’t that Jaco from the Black Lion Guild? That guy also killed quite a lot of users . When did he move to the Arpen Kingdom…’? ‘Wow . There seemed to be a lot of users who signed up to join the Hermes guild…’ They learned through the crowd attitude that the heart of the people around the world had changed . Through occasional broadcast observations through the crystal sphere, the announcers were reporting that the Haven Imperial army was being pushed back in military strength .

“There are approximately 1 million users gathered in Garnav Plains . ” “Hold on . Didn’t you say that there were 1 million at the start? Countless users died in battle . ” “There were also many users that arrived late . The Arpen Kingdom hosted festivals to encourage participation, but there were still a lot of users who took their time . ” “Why did they arrive so late?” “It’s because of grinding . The higher the level, the greater the desire for growth . You could see it as users who lingered around the hunting fields until the situation became risky . ” “You can see that there are a lot more… Central users now . You can distinguish them easily by their wonderful armor . ” “Yes . They now stand in the camps of the Arpen Kingdom . There’re many users who couldn’t choose between the Haven Empire and the Arpen Kingdom until the very last moment . ” “How come?” “It’s because they probably did not want to die in vain . They were probably also afraid of the Haven Empire’s assassination orders… The higher the level, the more attached they are to their characters and their homelands . ” “These people taking the side of the Arpen Kingdom means that the tides have surely turned in its favor . ” “That’s correct . They all have witnessed the failure of the Hermes guild’s strategy . During the stalemate, the Arpen Kingdom had replenished its forces completely . According to my speculations, all of this may have been Weed’s plan…” The Hermes guild members began to picture defeat before the fighting even began .

‘But we still have Bard Ray on our side . ’ ‘If he can kill Weed, it can create a possibility . A guaranteed possibility…’ It was faint, but they grasped their last straw of hope . “Chwii . It is dazzling . ” “I set some jewels in it . I mean, it is our work . It deserves some recognition . ” “Where are they from?”

*Chwik!*

“They’re blue diamonds from the Malbio mine . ”

Weed, in the form of Karichwi the Orc, put on the armor given by Fabio and Herman . He covered his growling muscular body with impressive splendid armor . The primal beauty of the orc and the wonderful armor strangely complimented one another .

“There is no other armor as impressive as this one . ” Fabio spoke out with pride in his voice .

Durability 320/320 . Defense 330 . Armor made from a combination of the world’s most mystic and unique metals . A collaborative work of Blacksmith masters Fabio and Herman . Many materials such as the Tear of God and Helium the living metal were put into this armor . For complete fusion, the lava from the Inextinguishable Volcano was used . It went through 14 smelting and reinforcements, made to be the most robust on earth . It was forged from Earth and Fire and had the affection of the elementals . . The wearer will be awarded with infinite fame and honor .

Based on the wearer’s abilities, the armor performance can grow up to a maximum of 20% . Solid Body and Admirable Resilience activate automatically . >

‘This is insane . How easy grinding would have been if I wore such an armor from the start . Surely, squeezing every drop out of these blacksmith masters really paid off in the end . ’ Weed was satisfied as he examined the options . Trustworthy dwarves one should say . He lightly provoked the self-conceited dwarves, which resulted in such a masterpiece .

“Chwii, Chwiiiik! I heard that many dwarves yearn for Thor, the kingdom of blacksmith masters . ” “Well yes, that is the case . ” “As compensation, I will construct a dwarven city . Chwiiik!” One thing that Weed was disappointed with the northern continent is that they did not have a dwarven city like Kusoro . There were dwarves residing in the continent, but their numbers were low and scattered . There was a lack in blacksmith techniques, and he would be able to bring in many dwarves from the central continent by promoting Fabio and Herman .

‘Dwarves are very active in the production of weapons, and they spend all their earnings drinking tremendous amounts of beer . The more dwarves the better . ’ Dwarves, known for vigorous production and spending, were a race well suited for exploitation .

“A dwarven city . Isn’t that too much of a compensation?” “You should consider the lord position . Chwiiik . It is fun being the lord of Arpen Kingdom . Chwik!” “I’ve heard such stories… Then who will be the lord?” Sparks of competition dwelled in the eyes of Fabio and Herman who had worked on the armor in harmony .

“Hmm . Not to brag or anything but I know a lot of dwarves…” “If I call for them, at least a thousand will gather . I’m Fabio . ” “I was the first to create a dwarven association . ” “I made the dwarven merchant alliance . ” Fabio and Herman faced one another tensely . They knew from their life experiences that they were being used, but they could not back down .

‘A man is still a child even when he gets old . His pride becomes especially stronger . ’ They wished to be recognized as the best for the great accomplishments and potentials in a given field .

“I will build a city for both of you . Chwiiii! How they will be operated will differ though . Chwiik!” If the dwarves were to settle, the nearby mountains would have to be developed into mines . Also, the monsters would have to be wiped out . Weed planned to exploit Fabio and Herman in their competition down to the last drop he could get .
