[Round 15]
[Mir Guild] VS [Royal Sword Guild]
This round became a hot topic after the Royal Sword Guild’s provocation.
Fans, officials, and experts all had a lot to say even before the match began, but in the end, the main focus was the showdown between two commanders representing Korea — the Mountain King and the Guardian.
― “Can the Guardian really defeat the Mountain King? That’s the main question many experts are asking about this 15th round. Mr. Choi Moonseong, could you briefly explain your thoughts on this match?”
Ё ǹũmá. іd̄
― “The Mountain King versus the Guardian — a very interesting matchup. Many people group them together under the category of ‘commanders,’ but in reality, they’re completely different in style.”
Experts often said that the Mountain King was defensive while the Guardian was offensive.

But Choi Moonseong carefully offered a different opinion.
― “In my view, you can’t simply label one as offensive and the other as defensive. The Mountain King can be plenty aggressive, and the Guardian can also be defensive. These two are commanders who can operate on a global level — they’ll always find an answer one way or another.”
He believed their difference lay in their approach.
If the Mountain King played the board with a vast field of vision and a grasp of the whole map, then the Guardian focused on localized skirmishes and precision design.

If that’s hard to grasp, just look at how they respond to unexpected situations!
― “When facing sudden developments, the Mountain King considers both his experience and his plan to find the optimal answer — it’s like he’s saying, ‘You’re in the palm of my hand.’ On the other hand, the Guardian takes an even bigger gamble, throwing the question right back at her opponent.”
― “So is that why the Mountain King’s matches tend to last longer, and the Guardian sometimes looks helpless when she loses?”
― “Very good. That’s a sharp observation.”

― “And now, the players are entering! First, from the Mir Guild — the Mountain King Kim Jong-pil, Hwarang Kim Yushin, Monster Park Su….”
A duel between the Mountain King, who finds answers, and the Guardian, who poses questions.
Е́n̂ uḿа .i d
With that in mind, the Guardian and Royal Sword Guild’s provocation before the match suddenly made sense.
Even the provocation itself must have been part of a larger plan. Commentator Park Moonseong believed that a top-ranked player like Guardian Yeo Eun-seo would never act rashly.
And sure enough, the Guardian and the Royal Sword Guild didn’t disappoint.
― “The Guardian, riding her summoned ‘Bengal Tiger,’ heads into the jungle… Wait! The entire Royal Sword Guild is setting up totems in their jungle area!”
― “Is that… the Spirit-Sealing Totem?!”
― “Even the Guardian and Lightblade are using their mobility to place totems deep inside the enemy’s formation.”

― “We knew they’d prepare something, but we didn’t expect them to start their build-up the instant the match began.”
― “A true battle of wits between two of the league’s top commanders — the vision war is fierce right from the start!!”
By cutting off the “Spirit Vision” that spanned the entire rift, they effectively blinded the Mountain King. Meanwhile, the Guardian easily secured her own vision using “Owl Dispatch.”
― “We’ve got an interesting stat — this is the first time the Mir Guild has ever lost the vision score within the first ten minutes of a match.”
― “Mir Guild’s ever-changing strategies always begin with vision. But with their support locking down the bottom jungle and Lightblade from mid helping control the top jungle, this isn’t going to be easy.”
― “The Mountain King’s trying to clear the jungle, but his path has been spotted by an owl. His options are getting fewer.”
Ė n ů m̄ ӓ
― “Meanwhile, the Guardian’s options are increasing — because everything in a battle like this is relative.”
The Guardian kept posing the question:

What will you do, senior? You’re not going to just stay there, are you?
And she knew the answer. The Mountain King she knew would…
Definitely come!
― “The Mountain King is charging in! The roots surge upward — he’s headed for the enemy jungle!”
Ẽn̆ um ӑ
― “He’s drawn his blade! If he’s gone this far, there’s no turning back!”
― “At the same time, the Guardian, as if waiting for this, swoops in atop her tiger to strike the Mountain King!”
The Guardian, Yeo Eun-seo, clad in light leather armor suited for mobility, pressed the Mountain King hard alongside her tiger summon. She swung her spear, crashed into him bodily, and eventually leapt off her mount to engage in close-quarters combat.
The Mountain King countered with enhanced physical techniques powered by spirit energy, using the surrounding trees to continue his assault.

But Yeo Eun-seo was the most physically gifted jungler he had ever faced.
Neither side yielded an inch.

The trees of the jungle shattered like twigs under their fierce blows.
― “The Guardian is relentless — she’s pressing the Mountain King with sword and spear! He’s trying to defend using the surrounding plants and retreat, but here come arrows! They’re three times larger than normal and shatter his plant barrier with a thunderous crack!”
― “This time, the Mountain King was careless. His opponent is a pure melee warrior — a ranker warrior! He needed to keep more distance!”
― “He’s trying to retreat now, but the Guardian lashes out with her whip, sticking to him like glue! She’s not letting him go for even a second!”
― “If this keeps up, the one who benefits is the Royal Sword Guild — they’ve successfully thrown the Mountain King off his rhythm.”
While the Guardian kept the Mountain King under pressure, the steadfast Royal Sword team began to move as well.

Their support locked down vision on the bottom lane.
Their top lane gave up offense entirely to focus on blocking Baek Yeon-woo.
And in mid, Lightblade unleashed dazzling white sword energy like he was daring anyone to try and stop him.
Then it happened—
As the Mountain King and the Guardian fought their way down toward the river between mid and bottom, the Guardian continued her assault and tapped her in-ear communicator three times: tap, tap, tap.
At this level, lip-reading was basic skill, so such taps served as signals.

And then—Lightblade’s blade strikes were suddenly blocked by Park Su-bin’s glowing sphere, and at the same time, a blinding flash cut off everyone’s vision.
They’ve been caught!!

― “Lightblade Jongyu! Moving downward with the light — his target is…!”
― “It’s the Guardian! He’s moving to join up with the Guardian!”
Lightblade Jongyu, blazing like light itself, located the Mountain King and Guardian battling by the riverside.
Just as planned. And that meant their side would also move according to their plan.

He swung his blade precisely where rehearsed—and in an instant, it ignited with blinding brilliance.
Claws of light tore through the battlefield.
― “It’s the Lightblade! His unpredictable, unavoidable sword aura ignores all trajectories and distances! Everything touched by the light is cut apart! And his target is—”
― “The trees! The plants! He’s obliterating all the spirits and vegetation the Mountain King commands!”

Blinding their sight, forcing them into a disadvantageous riverside position and cutting down the trees and plants to bind their limbs.
― “Even now, the Mountain King somehow breaks free — it’s almost terrifying.”
Ẇ е̃ b n оv̈ е̌ l .Е n̊ù mа
― “But the Guardian, anticipating that, quickly calls in her support.”
― “A perfect trap!”
There was a reason she was called the Guardian.
From the chilling precision of her setup since the match’s start to the lightning-fast timing of her ally’s arrival—the winner of the first ten minutes was clear.

The Guardian’s spear pierced the Mountain King’s heart.
The winner of the opening ten minutes was the Royal Sword Guild.

“Yes!!”
“Got it!!”
In the Royal Sword Guild’s waiting room, the strategy chief high-fived his teammates and clenched his fist in triumph.

Then came the sound of applause — Joanna Lee whistled as she clapped.
“Stripping the Mountain King of one of his most important weapons, vision, breaking his opening plan, and choking out an impatient opponent. Impressive. The fact that it all started with media manipulation? Absolutely fantastic.”

Indeed.
The Guardian and the strategy chief’s plan had started with the media.
By provoking the Mountain King and the Mir Guild, they framed the match as ‘Guardian vs. Mountain King.’
“The legendary Mountain King wouldn’t normally care about such childish media play. But the younger teammates? They’d feel it.”
W̌ėḃ n̂ ov ѐl̊ Е̌n u m ȧ
The Guardian Yeo Eun-seo knew that the Mountain King would take decisive action for the sake of his younger comrades.
“The team’s shaken by the pre-match noise, and if things start going wrong, he’ll worry about how the kids are feeling. A man like him, a natural leader, would never just sit back and watch that.”
“Now that you say it, that’s fascinating. So, the great Mountain King knew it was a ploy?”
“He’s the Mountain King. Of course he knew. He must’ve understood the intent the moment he saw the media play.”

And from there, everything unfolded exactly as seen.
As if blessed by the gods, they predicted every event in those ten minutes—and perfectly sealed it with the first kill.

“So then…”
Joanna Lee asked in a slightly excited voice — could they actually win this?
The strategy chief, still thrilled, nodded vigorously.
“The first set. The very first set is the key.”
If they could take the first set, victory wouldn’t just be a dream.
That was the Guardian’s prophecy —the mastermind behind this match.

Meanwhile, in the waiting room across the way, Lee Shin was clapping nonstop.
“See? You’re good when you try. How nice to see. Krr~ As expected, once there’s tension in the league, the kids start moving differently. Right, hyung?”
“They do seem desperate.”
“Krr~ Desperate— that’s the feeling. Yeah, this is it, this is how you should come out, putting everything on the line. That’s what makes winning fun.”
The Secretariat— you were right!!

While Lee Shin was smiling brightly, Chae Dong-ha was watching him with a disgusted look.
‘What is this guy, really?’

The story began a few days ago.
To be exact, on the day the Royal Sword Guild made that media play, saying they had “figured out the pattern.” The words Lee Shin had said just one second after seeing that.
— “So that’s why Guardian’s been quiet. A psychological game, of course.”
It made sense. Among Korean nationals, there was only one world-class commander comparable to Mountain King. The Guardian, Yeo Eun-seo, now appearing on the screen.
Ẇе b n̊о̃ v́ е̇l̂ Еňũm а̇
With [Amazones], she gained strength, endurance, and resistance to CC and injuries.
With [Master of Tactics], she gained intelligence, logical thinking, leadership, and tactical learning ability.
With [All-Weather], she secured every possible advantage related to weather, terrain, and field conditions.
She was, quite literally, a woman who embodied leadership itself— a walking cheat code.

As an aside, it was only because Lee Shin held Mountain King in special regard that he had raised him; honestly, among Korean players, raising Guardian was the more orthodox choice.
Anyway, for Lee Shin to immediately point out Guardian without knowing this— to Chae Dong-ha, it was like watching a fortune teller.
Е ṅũ ṁ ӓ_. і̂ d
‘And what came after was the same.’
It would never be an easy match.
If it were Guardian, she would definitely build her setup a certain way— and it would almost certainly be at the beginning.
If they managed to overcome that setup, they’d win easily. But if they got caught in it, they’d lose the initiative and all momentum completely.
And with high probability…
‘He said they’d lose it.’

To be precise, Lee Shin told them not to waste mental energy trying to predict what she’d do. Just watch and see what happened. Take this chance to play a reactive match, he said.
Having been around Lee Shin for a long time, Chae Dong-ha could tell even from that much.
‘This guy never intended to block Guardian’s opening setup.’
He let it happen? Or rather, did he deliberately let it happen?
Chae Dong-ha couldn’t make sense of it. That’s when Lee Shin, who had been watching his twitching brow, chuckled and spoke.
“What, curious why I let them pull that stunt?”
Е̊ ňŭm̆.à . іd.
“Do you read minds, too?”
“Your mouth is shut, but your forehead’s honest.”

“If you’ve noticed, then please explain. I really don’t get it.”
“As the kindhearted CEO Lee? Or the cold-hearted Professor Lee? Which one do you want first?”
“I’ll take the CEO first.”
“The kind CEO Lee says this— the Royal Sword Guild is ranked seventh. They’re an upper-tier guild, with two rankers even. In a top-tier match like this, wouldn’t it be strange if things looked one-sided like before?”
We ḃ ǹоṽе l̇ Ё ň u̇ m̂ ӓ
A theoretical, textbook answer, which meant, of course, it wasn’t his real one.
“Then what about the professor?”
“Huhuhu, you’ve gone and awakened the cold-hearted Professor Lee after all.”
Lee Shin crossed his arms, twisting his fingers dramatically and covering his face.

“Now then, student, tell me— when do you think a human feels the most despair?”
“……??”
Еn̄ ǔm̆ а . і́ d̀
“It’s when— their hope shines the brightest.”
“!!”
Guardian was a good character, a commander who could definitely reach world-class level but right now, she was the enemy, which meant she had to be crushed thoroughly so she’d never even be able to meet his eyes again.
And on the screen beside Mountain King— an unexpected figure appeared.

“Looks like it.”
“It’s been a while since he’s run. Will he be fine?”
At Mountain King’s question, the man in silver armor bounced lightly on his feet.
Hwarang Kim Yushin smiled confidently.
“When it comes to running, I don’t lose to anyone.”
Mountain King and Hwarang, the two men who would blow up the meta kicked off from the ground.
