Chapter 182
~Royal Sword Guild~
A sense of impending battle filled the CEO’s office, where the top executives had gathered.
“Is this really feasible, CEO?”
“Pattern? This is the first time I’m hearing of it.”
“I’m not sure if provoking the Mir Guild, which the Mountain King is holding down, is the right move.”
Е ňu m а́_. і̊d̃
“Especially now, when their reputation is soaring because of that good deed… Are we sure we didn’t just poke a hornet’s nest?”
The division leader and analysis team leader sitting on the right glared across the table at the man and woman opposite them, as if blaming them.

They were the ringleaders who had suggested provoking Mir to the CEO — the Raid Captain and the Operations Chief, the core of Royal Sword’s raid team.
“No matter how much you work in the front office, that kind of weak mindset isn’t right!”
“We’re doing this because it’s doable. There’s definitely potential.”
“This is the perfect moment. We’ll knock down the Mir Guild at its peak and announce to this league that the Royal Sword is coming for the throne!”
Е̌ń_u m ӑ.
The fierce confrontation between the front office faction and the raid faction—
This scene perfectly captured the essence of Royal Sword Guild: an endless competition system where one proves their worth only through extreme rivalry.
And the one who created this ruthless system sat at the head of the table — Joanna Lee.
Once a “guild hunter” who thrived on mergers and acquisitions, she had clawed her way to the top through sheer ability alone — the cunning “fox of the guild scene,” now the CEO of a major guild.

With a snap of her fingers, Joanna quieted the noisy room.
As she continued trimming her nails, she spoke indifferently.
Ẅ е b̂ ń ŏv e l̄ Е̌ nu m̄ а̂
“Don’t chatter about something that’s already been decided. And—”
Joanna’s gaze shifted toward the front office faction.
“You already lost your say in the ‘Hwarang’ case. This time, you’ll cooperate unconditionally. That’s our ‘rule,’ remember?”
Rule #1.
Those who lose in competition must cooperate completely — or more accurately, obey.
They had to do whatever they were told, without a single complaint.

“Still, an explanation is in order, isn’t it? Operations Chief.”
“Yes. Here, take this.”
The man handed documents to the front office members, not forgetting to smirk — the victor’s privilege.
The front office faction trembled with humiliation.
Soon, the Operations Chief stood and began his presentation.
“Mir Guild has employed a remarkably wide range of strategies.”
Ѐ ń u m a . і̀d
The front office’s concerns weren’t unfounded.
Mir Guild’s strategies couldn’t be pinned down to a single formula.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Their overall approach could be summarized as follows:
“The foundation is a defense-oriented concept centered around mid lane. They believe that if they place the monster, Park Su-bin, in mid to create an impregnable defense, it will never collapse. At the same time, it shows their faith in the superstar Yu Ri-ra’s late-game carry potential.”
Set up a shield in mid and hold out — once it goes to late game, we win.
It’s sheer power crushing the opponent.
Е́ n u m̆ ӓ
It’s a simple strategy, but ‘simple is best’ for a reason.
No other plan was as effective given their overwhelming strength.
“When Mir Guild rose through the ranks, many guilds fell because they simply couldn’t surpass Mir’s raw power.”
And once Mir reached League 1, they gained three new weapons.

The Operations Chief folded his fingers one by one as he spoke.
“Hwarang Kim Yushin, Baek Yeon-woo, and the Mountain King — who returned as a disaster of the past. These are Mir’s new weapons.”

With their solid foundation and the addition of these three, Mir Guild became capable of countless tactical variations.
“The beginning of that change came from acquiring Baek Yeon-woo, a solo-operation specialist. This guy doesn’t lose in 1v1s. We believe his success comes from two abilities — ‘Copy’ and ‘Weakness Detection.’”
Copy and Weakness Detection were only a small part of the ability, but to others, that alone was terrifying.
“Then came the Mountain King’s rejuvenation — reconnaissance and scouting using multiple spirits, the top-tier tree spirit Vita who perfectly utilizes forests and natural terrain, and mobility restored beyond his prime. All these boosted Mir Guild’s aggression.”
And on top of that, they even had reliable insurance.
“They used Hwarang, the master of side operations, as an all-purpose resource. Personally, I think it’s a bit of a waste, but it’s true that his sheer activity has dramatically reinforced their strategic depth. You can especially see how much Yu Ri-ra’s stability improved.”

While the first two enhanced Mir’s diversity and offensive DNA, Hwarang provided the stability essential for league play.
“It really was a perfect acquisition. I couldn’t have drawn a better picture myself. Mir’s young CEO was the sole winner of this off-season. The rest were all just flailing about.”
They were enemies, but they had to acknowledge it.
Just how many moves ahead could he see…?
Ah… I could almost worship him.
The Operations Chief closed his eyes in reverence, overcome with admiration.
Е̄ nù mӑ
The Analysis Team Leader looked at him as if dumbfounded.
“Hey, Chief. What you’re basically saying is that they have balance, diversity, and now stability on top of that, right?”

These days, even strategy analysts and scout trainees were obsessed with analyzing Lee Shin’s decisions. Everyone in the field knew how incredible Mir Guild was.
That’s why the Analysis Team Leader had been speechless — there was simply no opening to exploit!
Yet this Operations Chief had declared, “We’ve found their pattern!” and now he was worshiping Lee Shin? How ridiculous.
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, the Operations Chief smirked and continued.
Еn.umа. i ḋ
“You should listen until the end. I said it was a perfect acquisition, not a perfect team.”
“…??”
The Operations Chief felt a thrill of superiority at the man’s dumbfounded face.
“I said I’ve identified their pattern. That’s right. Mir Guild has its own distinct pattern.”

Enhanced balance, diversified weapons — leading to countless possible strategies.
But all of it began in one place.

“Here. Right here.”
All eyes followed his pointing finger — and everyone froze in disbelief.
Was this guy out of his mind?
Because what his finger pointed to was a picture of the Mountain King.
“The alpha and omega of Mir Guild. Their weakness and their strength. The starting and ending point of all their patterns — the Mountain King, Kim Jong-pil.”
The dragon fans say: The Mountain King is a god, and Lee Shin is invincible.

The Raid’s Lee Shin is the Mountain King, and the Front’s Mountain King is Lee Shin.
Their partnership runs that deep.
Perhaps because of that, Mir Guild’s strategic reliance on the Mountain King is extreme compared to other guilds.
“This is what we’ll target. If we can shut the Mountain King’s mouth, the dragon stops moving. And this video proves it.”
A screen appeared.
It showed footage from the opening match of Round 1 — the legendary comeback performance that revived the Mountain King’s legend.

But the Operations Chief had caught the facts hidden beneath the flashy play.
“If you think carefully, the other members were quiet in this match, aside from the Mountain King.”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
You could call it solid and stable — but to put it bluntly, they were colorless and invisible.
“In the very next match, the Mountain King’s momentum dipped slightly. And interestingly, that’s when Mir Guild began to shine more collectively.”
Whatever the reason, if the Mountain King’s “voice” was silenced or his focus was broken, Mir Guild’s patterns became noticeably simpler. That was the pattern the Operations Chief had discovered.
The Analysis Team Leader and Division Leader turned to Joanna Lee, silently asking, “CEO, is this for real?”
Е n ũm ӓ . і d̃
Joanna, who had been quietly listening, finally spoke.
“I know. I know it’s a bit of a stretch.”
In truth, the pattern he’d found was about as obvious as saying, “Huh? In this competition, if you win top, mid, and bot, you win the game, right?”
Everyone knew that already!

You knew, I knew, every other guild knew too!
So why hadn’t anyone done it? Simple — because it’s the Mountain King.
Е̃ ñ ů m̀ а .id̆
No one had ever managed to corner the rejuvenated Mountain King.
But still… it was worth a try.
“We have someone whose brain rivals the Mountain King’s, don’t we? Right, Miss Yeo?”
“Of course. I’ve been waiting for this day.”
If the Mountain King was the greatest commander of the legendary era, the woman who succeeded him was this one.
Strong and brave, yet in battle, more cunning and relentless than anyone — the embodiment of competitiveness, the warrior of victory.

Ranked 7th: Guardian Yeo Eun-seo.
“To face the great Mountain King again in the Rift… How delightful. Truly delightful — I could almost cry.”
She said she was happy, but the air around her was thick with murderous intent.
Back when the Mountain King was in the Kirin Guild, Yeo Eun-seo had been hailed alongside him as one of Korea’s CEO commanders — but as the phrase “representative commander” implied, she was always second to him.
Even when her flexible playstyle earned her the title of “genius of the century,” the first comment was always, “She’s almost as good as the Mountain King.”
Even when she led Royal Sword into the top ranks, she was dubbed “Post-Mountain King.”
Е̃nu.mā
And whenever she lost, the ridicule was even worse — “Budget Mountain King,” “Mountain King Lite,” and so on.
That’s why Guardian Yeo Eun-seo wanted to shatter that frame once and for all.

“I won’t just distract him — I’ll devour him completely.”
This time, she would take him down no matter what.
Yeo Eun-seo’s eyes gleamed sharply.
“Then let’s start with some PR warfare.”

The Royal Sword Guild continued its aggressive media campaign.
[ Royal Sword CEO: “The only one who can counter Mir’s raid team is Mountain King.” ]
[ Guardian Yeo Eun-seo on social media about Hwarang: “The Mir Guild seems to lack respect for Hwarang.” ]

[ Royal Sword operations director: “Pattern analysis isn’t a lie. Mir Guild’s weaknesses are real!” ]
The core of the campaign was this: if Mountain King stops, Mir stops. It was a claim persuasive enough that it couldn’t be dismissed as mere bluffing.
Ӗ ṅ ú_m a
Especially since for Rosso (short for Royal Sword) fans, it was enough fuel to power all their hopeful speculation.
Because after all, they had Guardian.
― (Roughly, “That’s… convincing!” meme)
― Why can’t other guilds stop Mountain King? Because they don’t have Guardian, haha.
― Sure, Mountain King’s a legend, but our Guardian doesn’t go down easy either.
In fact, Guardian’s value had skyrocketed because she wasn’t losing the operational game against Mountain King’s Kirin Guild.

It’s no wonder that the moment Mountain King left Kirin, they tried to recruit her.
Even conceding that she didn’t win but merely kept up, there was no reason the rank 7 Guardian couldn’t do the same.
Besides, Guardian wasn’t the only weapon in Royal Sword’s arsenal.
― If Guardian marks Mountain King, then in midlane “Light Sword” can go wild smashing away.
― No matter how much of a genius that so-called rookie monster is, a rookie’s still a rookie. He can’t beat our Lightblade.
― Jongyu oppa, do it for us ㅠㅠㅠ
Е n ům̆ а̊. í d̃
Rank 14. Lightblade Jongyu.
Originally called Lightblade (光劍) for his dazzling swordplay, in actual matches his ferocity earned him the nickname Madblade (狂劍)—the second sword of Royal Sword Guild.

Fans pinned their hopes on the synergy between Guardian and Lightblade. They sometimes created miracles that were hard to even explain.
― They’ve been teaming up for a while now, so of course they’re better than Mountain King and that rookie.
― King potential right there.
― Guys, is it okay for me to be excited ??
E n̆ūm̄а
With all this buzz, could the media really resist jumping in? Especially when the opponent was Mir Guild, whose stock was soaring!
― “Using Guardian to target Mountain King and Lightblade to break midline? It makes sense. If they can just deal with Mountain King, the rest might actually be easier.”
― “Their approach isn’t even that unconventional. It’s actually quite textbook. You keep harassing the shot-caller until the command chain collapses. It’s one of the fundamentals.”
The key supporting point was that what Mountain King could do, Guardian could also do.

― “They’re both jungle-position players, and Guardian’s mobility and scouting ability are absolutely not lacking. Plenty of CC too!”
― “The scary thing about Mountain King is his jungle dominance through spirits. But in close combat, since Mountain King’s a summoner type and Guardian’s a warrior type… hmm, if they target that angle…”
Ẇ еb̀n̆ о̃v̄е̃ ľ Eñ umа̌
They were careful with their words because Mir Guild was just that strong—but the deeper the analysis went, the more the conclusions aligned.
Could it really be possible…?
And the result was…
……

― “This is it! Guardian has presented an entirely new answer and is about to succeed!”
― “More! More!!”
― “Guardian is chasing Mountain King down… finally…!”
― “She’s got him!!”
