On the first day, a total of seven users entered the Warrior's Village .
Three of them were from the Human system .
It was obvious, but the other four were from the Devildom system .
One of them was the top-ranking Chinese User 'Ryu Chen' .
'Why is this being pushed all of a sudden?'
While watching the Devil Dimensional Cavalry fall down one after the other, Ryu Chen's sweat started to turn cold .
The Battle of the Dimension, which had been going smoothly till then, began to take a turn .
The other rankers out there with him were shocked .
“What is this all of a sudden? Are the numbers increasing?”
“The difficulty increased all of a sudden!”
The four rankers were surprised, but they weren't stupid .
They understood very well the principle of the mirror battlefield .
After recognizing the situation he had to face, Ryu Chen quickly began to use magic .
“Illusions of Devil, rise up!”
Woong-!
As Ryu Chen recited the spell, shadows—in the form of a beast—began to appear everywhere .
The red shadows began to swipe across the battlefield of the Dimensional Cavalry .
Ahh!
Kyaa!
At first glance, Ryu Chen seemed to have a skill or power similar to that of a summoner .
However, Ryu Chen wasn't a summoner .
He was a Warlock .
Of course, Warlock wasn't his only cla.s.s .
If that was not the case, he wouldn't be able to produce a spectacular view on the battlefield .
Ryu Chen, one of the most popular Mainland China users, was well known for his special hidden cla.s.s .
His hidden cla.s.s was the Warlock Illusionist .
He also had a hidden dual-cla.s.s—'Trickster' .
“Hmph!”
“Tat-!”
Ryu Chen inhaled briefly and jumped .
The moment he landed on the ground, a dark red smoke started to form around him, and it then moved to the air .
The very next moment…
Phat-!
As he stretched out his hands to the front, dark green rays spread out in all directions .
The beams began to distort to a wide area .
Woong-!
His dual-cla.s.s, the trickster, was a cla.s.s he gained while he was in the Human system .
Originally, it was the main cla.s.s instead of a dual cla.s.s, but as his race got converted to Asmodian, it naturally changed into a dual-cla.s.s .
The Trickster cla.s.s was the very reason why he was able to maintain his top-ranking spot in Kailan .
The cla.s.s information looked like this:
-Cla.s.s information
Cla.s.s cla.s.sification:
Incantationist
Magician (Dual Cla.s.s)
Hidden cla.s.s:
Illusionist
Trickster (Dual Cla.s.s)
Fusion Cla.s.s: None (disabled)
Ryu Chen was using magic and illusion magic to keep the Devil Dimensional Cavalry in place .
By using the tactical formations, he was able to keep the Dimensional Cavalry in place . Therefore, they were able to bring down the Dimensional Cavalry's numbers one after the other .
It wasn't just Ryu Chen there .
Thud-!
Along with a huge eerie sound and a red beam, the Dimensional Cavalry that was being held by Ryu Chen was being cut down .
After seeing that light, Ryu Chen looked shocked after seeing the source of the attack .
'Was that the ranker Limlong of the Korean server? He sure is amazing . '
The unique ability of 'Trickster' was a magic that could trap the enemies and confuse them .
That was why Ryu Chen worked well with a.s.sa.s.sin cla.s.s users .
Limlong didn't seem to be lacking in skill compared to other top-ranked a.s.sa.s.sins that he had seen .
That was why Ryu Chen was so eager to see the full extent of Limlong's abilities .
However, Ryu Chen's thoughts didn't last long .
Wooong-!
In the meantime, another Dimensional Cavalry came out of the mirror .
'For now, I need to concentrate on the battle . '
While biting down his lip, Ryu Chen began to reach for the battlefield again .
-Remaining Army: 77… 77… 76…
-Remaining Devil Army: 42… 39… 35…
Remaining Dimensional Cavalry: Celestial faction/ Devil faction- 56/ 144
Na Ji-chan, who was sitting in the monitoring room and watching the 'Dimensional Mirror' battle, laughed .
'Hehe, it's inevitable . No matter what you guys do, it would last for another 5 minutes or so . '
Unlike the Celestial Armies who never would have thought of falling to the 70s, the number of the Devil Soldiers started to decline fast .
That meant the battle was won by the Celestial Platoon .
'I thought the humans would leave this time…'
Na Ji-chan, who was staring at the screen, just shook his head .
The result of the battle looked more precise than ever, but Na Ji-chan had never imagined that the battle would have such developments .
'The combination of Ryu Chen and Limlong was surely a sight to see in the Dimensional Mirror . But it was too bad that the Devil Faction had no healers . '
Na Ji-chan, who confirmed the rankers on both sides of the camps which entered the battlefield, was sure that the devil side would win .
It was because the Devil Camp had more rankers than the Human Camp . Also, Ryu Chen and Limlong were there .
It was obvious that the combination of those two was surely going to be the best in the Dimensional Mirror . It was almost like they had no reason to lose .
For the first ten minutes, the predictions of Na Ji-chan were on the mark .
At least in the very beginning, the Devil's camp had a clear advantage .
However, when Ian and Mark Oliver turned defensive, the situation changed completely .
Apart from reducing the number of the Dimensional Cavalry, the number of the army didn't decrease . The gap became unruly as the devils began to decrease .
'Who's head came up with that strategy? Ian? Mark Oliver?'
Na Ji-chan, who was writing down a report with an excited look, sighed while looking at the coffee on his table and went back to the screen .
Na Ji-chan's task was to monitor, and it was something that only he could do .
Na Ji-chan alternated between drinking coffee and eating potato chips while monitoring the Dimensional Mirror Battle . After a while, he read the system messages, which reminded him that the battle had ended .
Tring-!
[All the troops of the 'Devil Army' had been killed . ]
[Remaining Army: 72]
[Remaining Devil Army: 0]
[Remaining Dimensional Cavalry: Celestial faction/ Devil faction: 12/188]
[The Battle of the 'Dimensional Mirror' is over . ]
[The 'Celestial Army' has won!]
Na Ji-chan, who checked the screen, shook his head and mumbled, “There's an overwhelming difference… but there's definitely no one who can say how this battle will turn out at the beginning . ”
Na Ji-chan read the messages that appeared and started to hit the keyboard .
Tak- Tatak-!
It was time for him to return to the planning team after finis.h.i.+ng his report .
However, the sound of Na Ji-chan hitting on the keys stopped .
He saw something that fl.u.s.tered him .
His gaze was stuck to the corner of the screen .
[The conditions have been met . ]
[Platoon 7 has been promoted . ]
[The rankers of the Platoon 7 will rise one step . ]
A very unexpected message appeared on the screen, saying that Platoon 7 was promoted .
“7th Platoon…”
Na Ji-chan checked the data of the platoon with trembling hands .
As soon as he looked into the details, nothing but a sigh came out of his mouth .
-User Information
User Name: Ian
Cla.s.s: Summoner (Taming Master) Etc .
Transcendence Level: 10
Warrior's Rank: Recruit
… Syncopation…
[The 'Celestial Army' has won!]
[Platoon 7 has been promoted as the conditions have been met . ]
[Special cla.s.s 1 is now a 'Recruit' . (Daily Rank specials are only possible once a week . )]
[All the shops in the Warrior's Village can now be used . ]
[Build Merits in battle and earn Merit points . ]
[Because of the 'Platoon Promotion', Merit points have been doubled . ]
[You have earned 212 Merit points . ]
[Points remaining for a 'Combat Soldier': 212/300]
[Hero Score of 100 points have been achieved . ]
… Syncopation…
A white halo began to come out of the mirror, and the messages began to pop up, saying the battle was over .
Subsequently, a huge light had gathered for the left out cavalry on the battlefield .
Specifically, around Platoon 7 and Ian, a much brighter light was s.h.i.+nning .
It was probably the effect of the 1st cla.s.s performance .
“Kue, finally, I'm not a Recruit anymore!”
“Euah, I'm a Fighter at last!”
Platoon 7's NPCs were cheering around Ian .
Ian, who was just a trainee, had just become a 'Recruit', but the other military ranks in the army were all raised into 'Combat Soldiers' .
“Hmm, this 1st cla.s.s effect sure looks good, but it would have been better if the public value was applied first . A specialty was applied so much at the beginning . ” Ian said after checking the system messages .
The points needed to be a Recruit were 100 .
Which was why, if the public value was applied first, then he would have become a 'Combat Soldier' already .
In addition, due to the 1st cla.s.s effect, the ranks of his fellow combatants had risen .
However, the special stats had been applied first, and the public values were added later . That was why Ian didn't become a 'Combat Soldier' .
'Well, I just need to collect another 90 public points . '
Feeling bad, Ian looked over at the information window of the cla.s.ses .
There were a total of five ranks in the Warrior's Village .
'Trainee, Recruit, Combat Soldier, followed by Elite and Brave rank . '
Ian's eyes moved toward the rank called 'Brave' rank .
Being promoted to Brave rank was the ultimate goal in the village .
As soon as he became a Brave rank, he could become an Intermediate being .
'I need to graduate from here as soon as possible… and I need to pick up Lugarix . '
While thinking of Lugarix who had the transcendence level of 50, Ian smiled to himself .
Once he got Lugarix, he would be able to get a bus ride of 40 to 50 transcendence levels very comfortably .
Mark Oliver and Lichao came to Ian .
“That was great, Ian . We won because of you . ”
“You are a great sidekick . Lichao is very impressed with you . ”
When the two notable men opened their mouths, Ian's face was rather elated .
'Oliver sure is fine, but I need to do some research on this Lichao . '
He wasn't able to confirm anything because of the battle, but the ability of Lichao was similar to that of Shakran .
It made sense for him to be in the village .
However, Ian had a strong feeling that Lichao was holding back .
'If I have the chance, I'll introduce him to Hoonie . '
In the mind of Ian, a picture of Hoonie and Lichao had formed .
“Huhu, you both have worked very hard too . Now let's get back . ”
Ian greeted the two and stepped toward the blue portal that was created under the tower .
'Let's see… I need to see the shops for the recruits . I'm looking forward to it . '
While smiling to himself, Ian checked his Hero Score, which was known to be the currency of the Warrior's Village .
But the next moment…
Ian looked surprised when he saw his Hero Score .
The number of Hero Score, which he had just seen, was ridiculously large .
[Current Hero Score: 1,525 . ]
'Ho, I just have around 100 before I came here…'
When he first entered the Warrior's Village, Ian's Hero Score was around 150 .
He used dozens of points when he purchased equipments, and the Hero Score he got on the battlefield was only 100 .
'Why did I have more than 1,000 now?'
Ian's head started to roll .
After a while, Ian figured out what had caused this phenomenon .
'Is it because of this…?'
