[ Regression to the Past! Mir Guild’s Gambit Worked! ]
[ Is Lee Shin Really Planning Everything? Successfully Defends Rank at 4th Place! ]
[ Raid? No! What We’re Really Doing Is the “Extermination Battle”! ]
With 4th place they barely secured the points (+3) to defend the overall 1st place.
And the miraculous achievement, accomplished not even with a rotation but entirely with the 2nd team, left everyone in shock.
Ѐ n u̇ ṁа̌
This is huge, absolutely huge!!
All broadcasting stations simultaneously scheduled special coverage for this shocking event.

― “It’s not just about defending points. Mir Guild has presented a new possibility to the league!”
― “I’ve said it before, trends repeat. Don’t underestimate old strategies, or you’ll pay dearly.”
The results Lee Shin and Mir Guild achieved with this victory were indescribable.
First, they finally got a breather from the murderous schedule.
W̌ е̃ b̂ n о̊v̈е́ l .Ӗ ń ǔ m̊ ӓ
[ Caught both rabbits. Kept the rank and all main members rested! ]
[ Mir Raid Team Leader Mountain King: “I’m glad we can take a break at an important time. Thanks to the 2nd team for doing well.” ]
Experts unanimously agreed that the current league schedule is insane. Especially for members participating in the main battles, training time is barely enough.
Mountain King, already concerned about the condition of “Lee Shin’s children,” was genuinely happy when the 2nd team bought a whole week of time.

Next, the 2nd team gained experience points.
Lee Shin was even happier than Mountain King about this, going so far as to open an impromptu live broadcast and recite endless praises.

― “Did you see how our cuties did? That’s it! Wow~! I prepared so much to feed them experience early on, this is really touching. Huh? You ask if early and late stages are different? Of course, totally different!”
Getting experience early by gradually adapting to the league is far superior to being pushed in mid-season and rushed to gain experience.
The difference is obvious.
Finally, the key point, perhaps the core and keyword of this shocking “Extermination Battle”:
Regression to the past—it worked!!
The three major analysis channels unanimously praised Lee Shin and Mir Guild for this brilliant move.

[ Analyst Zen, during broadcast, excited! “It worked! It was a perfectly executed strategy! Rank 4 proves it!” ]
[ Analyst Lim Chorong, Special Lecture on Striking Battles: “Not all commanders are like Mountain King. If a guild’s power is uncertain or the commander lacks ability, the old Extermination Battle method is actually better.” ]
[ Former CEO Han Seok-ki, triggering Han Chori: “Not only did the promoted guild achieve 1st place, but they are also the most challenging. This clearly exposes the league’s level! Other guilds should be ashamed!” ]
Debates were long and reactions varied, but the conclusions were similar:
1. Extermination strategies work.
: If your team isn’t polished enough, like you guys.
E n̆ ŭ ṁ ä. і̃ d
2. If the brain isn’t enough, use your body to compensate.
: That’s why there’s no Mountain King, right?

3. If you only do what you’ve always done, you need to put in the work.
: Lazy bastards, tsk!
The three most famous analysts in the country unanimously praised Lee Shin and Mir Guild while criticizing other guilds.
Now, at this timing, who comes out?
Ẽ n̆ ū m а̌.і̌ d
― Puahahahaha!!
― You idiots!!
Dragon Fans in berserk mode On
― ???: “Maybe the league level has actually regressed.”

― Mountain King: “These kids have gone crazy while I wasn’t looking?”
― Lee Shin: “Let them. They must have had a good dream.”
Е nū m̂а
― Lmao, hahahaha
― These bastards, anyone would think they got 1st place…
― Ebe, they have the same points as 1st place, right?
― Rank is still 1st, right?
― Damn it! How many times do I have to say it! This is the integrated gallery!!
― Calm down by looking at this hehe <Mama nose photo 2> <Mama is a chef photo 3>

― Koreans should respect Mama. She was phenomenal.
― Damn; now even foreigners are crawling in.
― Bastards……
Already pumped up through several upheavals, the Dragon Fans started beating up each fandom with the 2nd team’s impressive performance.
Guilds ranked higher than Mir Guild could only grumble with “We’ll do better next time,” or “Shouldn’t we have a 2nd team too?”
But the guilds below Mir were a literal inferno.
Е̊n̈ ū mа
― Not even the main team, and getting trashed by the 2nd team, damn;;
― Watching the broadcast yesterday, my face is burning. Haha

― What exactly are the guilds doing? Someone, do it properly like Mir!
― Embarrassing.
Eventually, a voice started to emerge:
― Hey! Just copy the Mir Guild!
Ӗ n̈ ũmа̇
Fans urged to follow Lee Shin, regardless of pride but guilds had their reasons.
What was that reason…?

“Do you think we want to just follow someone else?”

White Sword Guild’s leader Jang Yohan sighed internally.
In fact, despite all the commotion from experts and fans about the Mir Guild’s extermination strategy, the most shocked were naturally the guilds themselves.
Е̄ n úm̊ a. і̄d
Those kids just talk and laugh; for them it’s over, but for this side, the results are directly tied to rankings. For a guild, rankings equal value and money.
From this perspective, White Sword Guild was the biggest victim in this situation because they were pushed down by those damn kids.
From the 3-point line they expected.
4th. Mir Guild (+3)
―――――――――
5th. White Sword Guild (+2)
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“The more I see it, the angrier I get.”
Jang Yohan chewed nicotine gum even more furiously.
Yes, it’s only 1 point. No need to overreact.
But even while rationalizing, the things the damn kids achieved twisted his guts.
“Saved stamina, gave the reserve team experience, collected points, dominated attention. And then pulled out an ancient extermination strategy to shake the league.”
Damn bastards, they ate everything……
Еn u m ӓ
The problem is, as mentioned before, it’s too late to change it now.
Fans who don’t know think they’re free to talk, but a guild doesn’t operate that easily.

If it did, the analysis team wouldn’t have been stuck at the office for a week.
Jang Yohan cut off his rambling and asked:
“Alright. Stop beating around the bush. Let’s summarize. The conclusion is, we can’t do what those bastards did, right? Because we’re completely unprepared.”
Watching the Mir 2nd team’s game on screen, he asked again.
W̌ е̊ bň o v ël̂ Е ṅ úm а
The head of the analysis team took a deep breath and answered:
“Exactly as you said, CEO. It’s impossible for us to replicate that extermination strategy in our current situation.”
It looks like “just kill everything, that’s it,” but in reality, it’s completely different.
“The current league trend focuses on speed for both Striking and Raid battles. So not only dealers, but even supporters and tanks need to be agile.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“I know, it’s that damn old man who made it.”
Speed battles, mobility, activity, optimization, etc.
Ĕ n u m̂ а̄
The league has changed to a fast-paced tempo.
Naturally, all guilds prepare accordingly.
And now, to use a strategy that goes completely against this trend?
Trouble is guaranteed.
“First, we’d need to replace all our equipment. Our current gear is focused on mobility. If we go for an extermination strategy, we need to redo everything.”
Equipment designed to prioritize movement even at the expense of defense was useless in a prolonged, fight-heavy extermination battle.

“Next, all training needs to be adjusted. It’s impossible to coexist with existing strategies.”
If the current time-focused raid strategy is a sprint, the extermination battle shown by Mir 2nd team is a marathon.
Running is the same, but the mechanics are completely different.
Following Mir Guild means rebuilding from the ground up.
“Finally, and most decisively……”
Even if you concede that gear can be bought and training run all night, can you change people?
Е n̈ ŭm̌ а̃
The final factor is the people themselves, the squad.
“…We’ve already built our squad to match the fast-paced trend. All hunters have strengths there, but if we try to run a slow extermination strategy with them……”

“Suicide. That’s why that damn kid played that card at this time.”
White Sword Guild is a top-tier guild.
Their CEO, Jang Yohan, is no ordinary person and has already grasped the situation.
Lee Shin, that damn kid, is forcing other guilds to make choices from the very beginning.
Е̇n u m а ..і̄ d
“If we recklessly follow the board that kid made……”
“As I said, it will collapse with high probability.”
As explained, this is the worst move.
And if you’re a major guild leader, you know this.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The problem starts here. Even if the leader knows, the general public doesn’t. Fans and journalists are unaware. If they go along with it, at the end…
“…the sponsors will shake.”
Ŵ е̃ b̊.n оv el̆ Е̇nu m̃а̊
“They’re surprisingly swayed by public opinion.”
Because player prices have skyrocketed, many people don’t realize it, but guilds are surprisingly broke.
Not a joke — even among major guilds, there are plenty running deficits. That’s why they usually need wealthy backers or parent companies.
And these backers don’t care much about the inner workings of the guilds.
“If a guild sticks to its old strategies and fails, public opinion will rage. And once the angry public reaches the ears of the backers, pressure will follow. No way lower-tier guild leaders can withstand that.”
Then it’s over.

Everyone dies.
“Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration? Surely a CEO barely in their mid-20s wouldn’t have that kind of calculating mind…”
“Nope. I’ve seen his eyes before. That guy’s a total maniac.”
He had witnessed Lee Shin blocking the way in North Korea. That gaze… it was pure madness.
“That guy, if he wants something, he must get it. Doesn’t matter the method, even if he throws himself in the way, he’ll take it.”
“Creepy.”
Е̄nu m а̇.
“…Ha, damn. How do people even like that crazy bastard?”
LeeDo Group’s wealth, the intellect of a genius CEO, the unpredictability of his mania and finally, the inexplicable charm of having the unwavering support of his fans despite all that madness.

He was a type of guild leader never before seen in history.
One thing was clear: Lee Shin was dangerous. He wasn’t just a threat to the league — he could shake the entire guild world.
“So, we’re facing those bastards in the upcoming Competitive Raid Match?”
“Yes.”
Е̇ n̆ŭ.m̄ а̃. і d
“…Ha, this is disgusting.”
The best move is to avoid a madman, yet from the start, they were tangled up. A sigh escaped at the miserable situation.
Jang Yohan, checking the time, stood up.
“First, let’s get up. We need to eat dinner if we’re going to have a meeting or anything.”

Just as forced overtime seemed imminent, the team leader approached the CEO and whispered.
“CEO, I have something to tell you…”

“What is it, say it.”
“Well… Gwang-seop isn’t in good shape.”
“That bastard!! Why are you telling me this now!!”
Park Gwang-seop was the core of White Sword Guild and Korea’s 3rd rank Sword Master.

Park Gwang-seop glared at his phone.

― Wow, lol, look at White Sword ranking lol, 5th place.
― 5th in the Raid Match, 5th overall ^^ clean.
― “Oh”“Oh”~! lol
Dropped to 5th.
Not long ago, his guild fought a bloody finals against the Kirin Guild. Now they were in 5th.
For Park Gwang-seop, who valued prestige and reputation above all, this ranking was humiliating.
Ёnu m̌ a.i d̆
― Four ranked players but 5th? White Sword stamina is trash lol.
― When were there ever four ranked players lol? They abandoned Hwarang and failed in Part 2 of the Fight Father quest, losing their rank.

― 9th is Gwisal, 3rd is Soma (Sword Master), right?
― But even with just those two, being 5th is crazy lol. Look at how expensive those guys are.
Ranked players naturally become the face of their guild due to skill and fame.
Thus, when successful, they reap glory; when they fail, they receive the most criticism and ridicule.
Wе̄b̌ ňo v_еl Е̃n u m̈ ӓ
This is why Park Gwang-seop became a prime target.
― Soma is meta-dependent, you should probably send him a spam gift set every holiday to Mountain King lol.
― See? I told you your guild core wasn’t Soma but Hwarang. White Sword insisted otherwise, now they’re plummeting to 5th. Serves them right.
― Tried to ride the meta, but Lee Shin doused the plan lol Poor Soma, what can we do?

Crack.
Park Gwang-seop gritted his teeth.

Specialization, trend, meta…Labels that clung to the name of Sword Master Park Gwang-seop like tags.
It was not entirely inaccurate — Park Gwang-seop naturally didn’t perform well in slow-tempo metas.
But as match tempo accelerated, the meta naturally became more aggressive, and he rose to the occasion.
Interestingly, it was Mountain King who had given him that opportunity.
― “Well, if I had to pick one, it would be Park Gwang-seop. He’ll probably lead the next aggressive trend among hunters. Ah, he’s still in League 2, but he’s really strong. I’d love to compete alongside him someday.”
Indeed, he transferred to the following year, proving he was a genius and becoming a legendary star.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Thus began the legend of the Sword Master.
However, it was undeniable that there was something abnormal about his sudden rise, and haters latched onto that — calling him a meta-dependent ranked player that appears occasionally each year.
Still, Park Gwang-seop, as they said, had no faults aside from his personality, and until now had used controversies and doubts as fuel for growth.
But
“Who do you think you are to talk?”
The shameful 5th-place ranking wounded his pride, and like many hunters in his position, he committed what a certain coach called a “waste of life.”
