    Chapter 60

    0.

    The trio, Longfeng, Hwawol, and Elzahar, were dazed outside the arena after their defeat.

    An unfair fight?

    Overwhelmed by the number of enemies?

    Some might think so, but not these three.

    No, witnessing that battle, no one could say such a thing.

    It was a war.

    The fact that they participated in a war with only three people meant their defeat was predetermined; only they didn''t know it.

    At that moment, all three of them felt it.

    "If the team leader had been there..."

    "Would it have been different...?"

    "...Fuck, no way."

    Both nodded at Hwawol''s last harsh curse.

    Luna, the leader of the Luna Team.

    She was the strongest among the Rapid Guild rookies.

    But even with her, it wouldn''t have mattered.

    Just as humans cannot overcome natural disasters.

    Seonghyun was an existence of that magnitude.

    Rookie?

    Newbie?

    An unreasonable existence that couldn''t be described with such words.

    That was Seonghyun.

    They had intended to crush his arrogance.

    But instead, they were the ones crushed.

    The last thing they felt was one thing.

    "Was that his full strength?"

    "...."

    "...."

    Neither of them could answer Elzahar''s question.

    No, they didn''t want to answer.

    They wanted to believe that was Seonghyun''s full power.

    If he had more power than that...

    What they did would truly be nothing more than trying to break a rock with an egg.

    No, was that still the case?

    ''No way that wasn''t his full strength.''

    ''It must have been his full strength~''

    ''Fuck, even if it was his full strength, it''s a problem...''

    Even though all three of them had Unique+ rank classes, they couldn''t even compete.

    Even those with Legendary rank classes didn''t display such power.

    The trio knew this well because Luna had a Legendary rank class.

    A power that surpassed even Luna, who was Legendary rank.

    That wasn''t a matter of skill or talent.

    It was the pure performance of the skills derived from his class.

    Was there any other possibility?@@@@

    Almighty rank.

    Gulp.

    Someone gulped, the sound echoing like thunder, and they exchanged glances.

    So that''s why he seemed so confident.

    If it was Seonghyun, then maybe...

    "Could he clear it?"

    "Maybe~?"

    "Bullshit, don''t be ridiculous."

    The three had differing opinions.

    Longfeng held onto a glimmer of hope that Seonghyun might succeed.

    But the other two were skeptical.

    Even Seonghyun couldn''t solo it yet.

    That''s what they thought.

    "No way, damn it! Even Yuna-nim did her first solo raid after her third class advancement at level 100. Solo raid my ass. And if that first room is that birdbrain bastard, it''s impossible to succeed, you idiot."

    Hwawol said with frustration.

    Though her words were harsh,

    Everyone had to agree.

    "Ah... That''s true."

    "Yeah, you''re right~"

    Yuna was the strongest force in the Rapid Guild, respected and feared by all, wasn''t she?

    The only one in the Rapid Guild currently doing solo raids.

    She sometimes teamed up, but

    It was truly rare.

    Like when the second team struggled, she joined as a guide.

    Or when she participated for training purposes.

    Other than that, she didn''t team up.

    Almighty rank?

    Maybe someday it would be possible.

    They had already experienced Seonghyun''s formidable class capabilities.

    But could he succeed in a solo raid faster than Yuna?

    They didn''t think so.

    As the three were exchanging opinions,

    They saw Luna running towards them from afar.

    It was stronger than most level 80 raid bosses.

    Secondly, it had a name despite being a low-level raid boss.

    One might think that all raid bosses have names, but that wasn''t the case.

    Most raid bosses didn''t have names, and when one occasionally did appear, it displayed power unseen at that level.

    Anemor was one such raid boss.

    However, even with a name, its overwhelming power was the problem.

    No matter how big or high-ranking a guild was, they couldn''t touch it.

    The Luna Team was no different.

    "Hmm, so you''re saying it''s incredibly strong for its level?"

    The entire Luna Team had attempted the raid more than five times.

    Yet, they had never even seen the second phase.

    It was humiliating, but

    The Luna Team had lasted the longest and cornered the boss the most compared to any other guild.

    But even then, they couldn''t reach the second phase.

    "Yes, I''ve told you about all of its phase one skills."

    "Thank you."

    "Actually..."

    Luna started to say something, seemingly hesitant, but then closed her mouth.

    It was something that could be considered rude.

    But then Hwawol spoke up first.

    "If you think you''re going to fail, we''ll join in."

    "Excuse me?"

    Seonghyun looked at them with a bewildered expression.

    Hwawol sighed and was about to explain.

    No matter how strong Seonghyun was, it was natural to intervene if he couldn''t do it alone.

    Right now, more important than Seonghyun''s personal record was the honor of the Rapid Guild being the first to clear it.

    This was something all Rapid Guild members knew.

    She was about to explain this to Seonghyun, but

    "Isn''t that obvious?"

    "Huh?"

    "What?"

    "Eh?"

    "Oh?"

    They looked at Seonghyun, who spoke as if it were obvious, with bewildered expressions.

    All four of them were dumbfounded by Seonghyun''s words.

    Well, it was obvious.

    But they were about to say something, thinking that Seonghyun might be too proud to accept help.

    However, Seonghyun''s attitude, questioning why they even needed to mention it, made them feel like the strange ones instead.

    "If I can''t do it alone, of course everyone should join in. Isn''t that why we team up?"

    "...."

    "...."

    "...."

    "...."

    "I thought that was how it worked... Isn''t it?"

    His words were so undeniably true that they were left speechless.

    At this point, Seonghyun even asked if he had misunderstood something.

    The ones who worried about Seonghyun being arrogant were now the fools.

    "Ah, no, you''re right. Of course. I just wanted to let you know since it''s your first raid. There are... more people than you''d think who don''t know that."

    "Ah, I see."

    As Seonghyun nodded in understanding,

    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    Now that the briefing was roughly over,

    He got up from his seat.

    "Shall we go then?"

    Already?

    They all nodded with dumbfounded expressions at Seonghyun''s words.

    Usually, after a briefing, they would discuss their roles, strategize for cooperation, and then head out.

    But Seonghyun just stood up without doing any of that.

    Was it enough just to hear the information?

    They all got up from their seats, slightly bewildered.

    They couldn''t tell if this was arrogance

    Or just ignorance.

    Due to his past actions, it was awkward to point it out.

    "This is going to be fun."

    As Seonghyun spoke with excitement,

    They all looked at him with a hint of agreement.

    They were curious about what kind of strategy Seonghyun would use.

    They watched him with anticipation.

    Even so, Seonghyun wouldn''t be able to succeed alone.

    But what if the remaining four conserved their strength until then?

    ''If we join in later...''

    ''It would be quite interesting~''

    ''...''

    ''Maybe, just maybe...''

    They might be able to clear it this time.

    As the four of them were having these thoughts,

    Seonghyun was thinking about something else entirely.

    ''First, I need to increase the number of troops that can operate in the air.''
