  [The Messiah has reached 7 Floors!]

  The world, which had been frozen by the news of the Messiah Guild clearing the 7 Floor dungeon, began to shake violently.

  The powerful people in the world were the first to begin showing courtesy to the Messiah Guild.

  [The US President congratulates the Messiah Guild!]

  [The German Prime Minister sends an invitation to the Messiah Guild!]

  [The Chinese President personally writes a letter to the Messiah Guild!]

  The best way for them to hide their ambitions that had awoken with the possibility of the Messiah Guild’s failure was to passionately flatter them.

  At the same time, deals were being made.

  [The Frontier Guild meets with the Messiah Guild!]

  [The Messiah Guild and Kunlun Guild sign an agreement!]

  Many people were visiting the Messiah Guild to purchase information on the next monster they encountered in the 7 Floor dungeon.

  Of course, these transactions weren’t financial.

  Instead, the things that were being traded were those that couldn’t be bought with money.

  This was, in fact, the secret to the rapid increase of the Messiah Guild’s influence over the years.

  Of course, the Messiah Guild’s biggest gain was not these material items-

  As expected, the Messiah Guild is the only one that can save the world!-

  Without a doubt. The only players in this world are Lee Se-jun and his Messiah Guild!-

  I only have faith in the Messiah Guild!

  The world’s faith and devotion towards the Messiah Guild has further increased.

  Thus, the world once again became covered by the Messiah Guild’s name to the point where it seemed that people were even breathing the majesty of the Messiah Guild.

  Nothing dared to stand in front of the Messiah Guild at that moment.

  This was the biggest harvest that the Messiah Guild had gained from their attack on the 7 Floor dungeon.

  However, someone, who imposed on the Messiah Guild’s harvest, finally appeared.

  [Isaac Ivanov joins the Phoenix Guild!]

  Isaac Ivanov’s name began to appear in the world covered by the Messiah Guild.

  …


  Park Yong-wan was definitely a great player.

  In 2020, even when he was confused and terrified together with the rest of the world, he still threw himself into the dungeons without any hesitation.

  He entered a more dangerous dungeon than others, grew faster than others, and subsequently entered more difficult dungeons.

  As a result, he gained wealth and fame that were incomparable to others.

  Nevertheless, he hadn’t stayed satisfied with that result and instead threw himself into even more dangerous dungeons while risking everything he had.

  ‘It’s been 5 years now.’


  He had done that for five years so far.

  It was certainly an amazing thing.

  Even if it cost him a great deal, he deserved a lot of respect and commendation for that fact.

  However, Park Yong-wan’s reputation in South Korea was not very good.

  To the public, he was a pig or a dog.

  No matter what he said, they couldn’t hear it, and even if they heard, they wouldn’t understand, nor did they intend to understand.

  ‘If it weren’t for them, Korea would’ve been in my hands already.’


  What truly made Park Yong-wan angry was the fact that he couldn’t enjoy what he deserved.

  Without the Messiah Guild, Korea would have already fallen under Park Yong-wan’s control.

  Rather than having to request a meeting with the president, he would’ve been an unelected figure who could treat him as a subordinate.

  At least, that’s what Park Yong-wan thought.

  ‘That damn Messiah Guild.’


  Unsurprisingly, Park Yong-wan didn’t intend to forgive those who had taken away what he deserved.

  He was waiting for the opportunity to pay them back for what they’d done.

  And the opportunity had finally come.

  “The press conference has been prepared.”


  “Good.”


  At his secretary’s words, Park Yong-wan adjusted the suit he was wearing and rose to his feet.

  …


  In response to Isaac Ivanov joining the Phoenix Guild, the Guild Master of the Phoenix Guild, Park Yong-wan, held a press conference.

  On the spot, Park Yong-wan said-

  The details of the contract with Isaac Ivanov is simple. The Phoenix Guild will support him in anything he wants to do. That is all. I will not make any demands of him. However, if there are any forces who pose a threat to him, I will bet my all to destroy that force.

  Just what the terms of the contract between the Phoenix Guild and Isaac Ivanov were-

  Isaac Ivanov’s next moves remain the same. He will continue to target dungeons that only he can clear, and that no one else has been able to clear.

  And what Isaac Ivanov’s next moves were-

  Including dungeons that the Messiah Guild has given up.

  Kim Woo-jin, who was watching Park Yong-wan’s conference live, sneered lightly.

  Actually, the situation wasn’t that good right now.

  ‘He finally picked a fight.’


  Because what Park Yong-wan was doing at that moment was challenging the majesty of the Messiah Guild.

  They would do what the Messiah Guild couldn’t!

  ‘The Messiah Guild won’t let that go.’


  Naturally, the Messiah Guild would not allow such a thing to happen smoothly.

  After all, there could be many stars in the sky, but there could never be two suns.

  The more Isaac Ivanov’s influence increased, the more severe the moves by the Messiah Guild would be.

  ‘It’ll only get worse if their weaknesses are targeted.’


  Moreover, Kim Woo-jin knew better than anyone what kind of messes and blemishes the Messiah Guild hid to become the Saviors of the World.

  After all, he had been responsible for a lot of it.

  ‘Especially if the attack is perfect.’


  In other words, Kim Woo-jin intended to perfectly clear the dungeons that the Messiah Guild gave up, just like he did in the past.

  After all, he had all the information he needed.

  The only question left was if he was capable of perfectly clearing these dungeons.

  The answer came to him.

  Woowoong!

  At that moment, his phone began vibrating, and after pressing the call button, he heard Oh Se-chan’s voice-

  Are you watching the live broadcast?

  “I am.”
-

  Park Yong-wan is so determined. Is he running for president? Anyway, he’s pretty amazing. I honestly thought Park Yong-wan would sell the country out and go to Japan or China, but now he has become a hero trying to save the world.

  “Why did you call?”
-

  Solomon’s Ring has arrived.

  When he heard that, Kim Woo-jin looked down at the Osiris’ Ring that he was wearing on his left hand.

  This was a clear answer to that question-

  And the Golden Dragon’s Gastric Juices have also arrived. I’ll wrap them up nicely and send them to you.

  At such a clear answer, Kim Woo-jin no longer hesitated.

  ‘The next dungeon will be Forest of Giants.’


  Kim Woo-jin had decided that the next stage would be the worst 4 Floor dungeon he had ever experienced.

  …


  [The Phoenix Guild soars with Isaac Ivanov!]

  [Park Yong-wan is ready to push past all the criticism and save the world!]

  [When did Park Yong-wan become a hero?!]

  The world became interested in Isaac Ivanov’s joining the Phoenix Guild and Park Yong-wan’s press conference-

  Isaac Ivanov is amazing!

  ?Right, Lee Se-jun isn’t the only one

  ? Isaac Ivanov is only at 4 Floor dungeons, isn’t he? Lee Se-jun cleared a 7 Floor!

  ? He’s just a good rookie. He can’t compare to the Messiah Guild!

  Of course, the world was also still filled with news reports about the Messiah Guild’s dungeon attack.

  Out of 10 newspapers, 8 would be about the Messiah Guild and 2 would be about Isaac Ivanov and the Phoenix Guild-

  But isn’t it special that he’s attacking dungeons the Messiah Guild couldn’t clear?

  ?Absolutely, it’s not something we can ignore.

  ?I have to look at Park Yong-wan’s speech again.

  However, it was clear that such a situation had never happened to the Messiah Guild before.

  Naturally, the Messiah Guild would not feel good about something like this.

  “A headache has appeared.”


  In particular, Park Shin-hye was in a bad mood.

  This was natural.

  After her dungeon attack with Lee Se-jun, she now had no choice but to deal with the Isaac Ivanov situation.

  “It really is a headache.”


  That was the reason the Bow God was sitting in front of her at that moment with a similar expression.

  “What does the Bow God think about this situation?”


  The Bow God didn’t answer Park Shin-hye’s question right away.

  He had heard the situation from the Sword Saint already and knew that they’d suffered a massive blow.

  ‘The damage is severe.’


  They lost 3 precious legendary items.

  ‘The good news is that the Messiah Guild didn’t find out about the items.’


  The only thing that he could use to comfort himself was the fact that the Messiah Guild didn’t know about it, so there was no need to tell them about the loss.

  Of course, that wasn’t very pleasant comfort.

  After all, wasn’t it still the disappearance of precious items that they’d specifically hidden from the Messiah Guild?

  In any case, it was natural for the Bow God to not want to talk after all that had happened.

  “Would you like to say anything?

  However, Park Shin-hye didn’t intend to let him off.

  At her words, the Sword Saint closed his eyes and said what she wanted to hear.

  “I have nothing to say about this. Nor do I have any intentions. My revenge was successful so from now on I will wholeheartedly work with the guild.”


  Only then did Park Shin-hye nod.

  However, her expression didn’t change

  This was because the Bow God finally submitting didn’t do anything to help their current situation.

  Because of this, Park Shin-hye couldn’t help but whine slightly.

  “Park Yong-wan, you’ve become such an annoying guy.”


  She expressed her dissatisfaction at Park Yong-wan instead of Isaac Ivanov.

  That was the way Park Shin-hye saw the situation.

  ‘I knew Park Yong-wan had problems with us but…’


  She believed that Isaac Ivanov’s appearance was not a coincidence and that the biggest reason he was able to become so big was because of Park Yong-wan’s ability and support, nothing else.

  After all, when Isaac Ivanov’s movements had been blocked, Park Yong-wan used all his power to break through it.

  “I didn’t think he would go against us so openly.”


  In the end, Park Yong-wan had openly challenged the Messiah Guild.

  He spoke out at a press conference and said that they would do what even the Messiah Guild couldn’t.

  Then the Bow God asked a question.

  “What does Lee Se-jun think about this?”


  Since the situation had reached this point, Lee Se-jun would have surely given his thoughts by now.

  Park Shin-hye gave a simple response.

  “It’s not something he cares about.”


  The answer in other words meant that Lee Se-jun was not paying attention to the situation.

  “This year is more important than ever. He can’t pay attention to something like that.”


  After saying this, Park Shin-hye frowned.

  The Messiah Guild intended to make the year 2024 as chaotic as possible.

  In doing so, they would make the world’s faith and expectations in them become more intense.

  The Messiah Guild didn’t just want to become a transnational religion, but instead wanted to become something that the people of the world would use to keep their peace of mind, making it the de facto spiritual leader of the world.

  And their preparations were almost complete.

  When the time came, the world would descend into all over the world, and Lee Se-jun would appear to clean up the chaos.

  The true Savior would descend.

  ‘We can’t modify and supplement such a plan just because of Park Yong-wan.’


  If such an important plan could be shaken by Park Yong-wan, it would mean a crisis for the Messiah Guild.

  ‘So we have to get rid of Park Yong-wan as soon as possible.’


  Of course, although she thought this, she never had any intention of letting Park Yong-wan off.

  While Park Shin-hye was wondering how to deal with Park Yong-wan, a knock was heard on the door.

  “Come in.”


  Her secretary came in after receiving her permission.

  However, her secretary’s expression was not good. This showed that she came with bad news, and Park Shin-hye’s frown grew deeper.

  “What more bad news is it this time?”


  “Park Yong-wan’s side has asked for our cooperation in a dungeon.”


  “Asked for cooperation? For which dungeon?”


  “The Forest of Giants, the A+ rank 4 Floor dungeon that appeared in China.”


  Park Shin-hye grit her teeth the moment she heard those words.

  ‘Park Yong-wan, you really deserve to die.’
