Siege War is a simple game divided into different teams trying to break the opponent’s castle core at the top.
After gradually strengthening through monsters and resources in the map, defeating and breaking the opposing teams guarding the core leads to victory.
It’s often considered similar to an AOS game.
“The one different point is that the starting line is different.”
Unlike AOS, where everyone starts in a similar environment, in Deoen’s game with MMORPG characteristics, the starting points vary.
Currently, Leo, who is almost called the strongest with the Sword Saint having gone missing, can face two general-level opponents at levels 6-7 with his level 3 body.
You ask how that’s possible? Of course, it is!
He’s a rare beneficiary of ‘Race Change’ in the server.
A Spirit Sorcerer who has reached the 3rd job change, he’s at the top rank with level 88.
The only ranker who can handle four attributes.
He also possesses the skills to excellently manage all of this.
Due to these traits, many professional scenes, guilds, and organizations tried to recruit Leo.
However, perhaps due to the infamous penalties, Leo rejected all offers.
The only proposal she accepted was receiving the title of Marquis from the Empire.
[For reference, Leo and the Sword Saint are the only ones who received titles from the Empire, lol.]
[Leo is a legend…]
[Still, can she beat Lily?]
[Seriously, can Leo win? With dinosaurs around, it’s super tough!]
[For real, lol.]
[It’ll probably become a Leo massacre show.]
[Are you ignoring Lily? lol]
[The Black + Lily combo is really strong too?]
Before we began the actual scrims, we took time to understand the Siege War and analyze each team’s strength.
They said they prepared the understanding of the Siege War for me, who is participating for the first time.
“Certainly, Lord Leo is strong.”
“Lord Leo is definitely the Number One currently.”
Black lifted a model of Leo from the mock Siege War team selection.
A doll of Leo surrounded by four attributes.
“Ordinary Spirit Sorcerers handle one to two attributes since the spirits of each attribute tend to avoid others.”
“Rather than avoiding, it’s because the mana sync that each spirit has doesn’t match. Spirits cannot sync unless they are Higher Spirits, so the adjustment by the Spirit Sorcerer is necessary.”
“…Huh?”
The surroundings fell silent for a moment.
Could it be that they didn’t know?
‘Spirits are rare, so it might be understandable that they lack this information.’
Or they might not have known about the spirit contracts using the system.
Still, managing spirits should have been enough to catch on.
When dealing with spirits, one can usually catch on quickly.
[?]
[Information overload hahaha]
[We should really do a spirit lecture broadcast]
[Leo, who was napping at home, is now all smiles]
[Seeing Leo has four attributes, doesn’t that mean he already knows?]
[Breaking news: Leo has shocked everyone by mastering all eight attributes… for the first time!]
[Leo with eight attributes… this can’t be stopped]
[Seriously can’t stop it, you crazy fool hahaha]
[With eight attributes, the Sword Saint is going to shred you, yeah]
“…Oh, so that was the reason?”
Black chuckled lightly, clearing his throat as he spoke.
Even as a top ranker, standing in front of Lily made him feel like a newbie.
Lily waved her hands urgently.
“Don’t get me wrong. Mastering mana doesn’t mean you can handle all spirits. The mana synchronization that constitutes a spirit is quite complex, so a normal mana manipulation won’t do.”
Moreover, as the number of spirits increases, the complexity of the synchronization also escalates massively.
No matter how outstanding a spirit sorcerer is, the limit for contracts typically hovers around three or four.
[So in the end, can Lily do it or not?]
[For real hahaha]
[I feel like Leo could do it soon]
[Breaking news: A significant increase in users transitioning to Spirit Sorcerer…]
[I should probably buy some spirit gear]
[It’s generally impossible (but I can do it haha)]
“Hmm… It’s good information, but it’s a bit scary. Lord Leo is already strong, and he’s going to get even stronger.”
Black shook his head as he placed Leo’s doll back in its spot.
Next to him was ‘Dinosaur Is Alive’, commanding a bunch of animals.
“Don’t worry. At least until the mock siege war ends, he definitely won’t be able to increase his strength.”
“The problem is that the Dinosaur is even worse.”
One of the best job synergies.
Spirit Sorcerer and Druid.
When the two unite, it’s said they could take on even nations, so there were plenty of concerns from the moment the lineup for the mock siege war was set.
[Choco should’ve summoned the dinosaur…]
[For real, Lily or the dinosaur should’ve been summoned, but this hahaha]
[Oh Choco… ]
[If Leo hadn’t intervened and had taken Laguiel instead, the game would have already been ruined]
[Leo is kind]
[From the moment he took the dinosaur, he wasn’t being nice, haha]
[Choco, Yena, Laguiel, Truck, Shield—here comes the boom…]
[A tier 2 combo hahaha]
“Leo, the combination of you and the dinosaur is terrifying. It’s not just about strength and numbers; the restrictions on positions disappear entirely.”
Redberry, who had been quietly observing, spoke up.
Our combination consists of the Magic Sword Master, Spearman, Mage, and Fighter—one long-range, two mid-range, and one close-range tanker. A balanced setup, if I do say so.
“But with you and the dinosaur, both of you can cover all positions.”
You get coverage for every range, including close and long-range, and it goes beyond mere attack and defense to special roles like detection and support. It’s like giving wings to someone who already had no restrictions on positions in the first place.
“We might be lacking in long-range. With two Summoners, the close-rangers are likely to leave those roles to the summons and focus on long-range attacks.”
Honestly, my personal wish is for Yena, the only Assassin among the participants, to deliver an assassination. But our opponent isn’t just any long-range; they’re a solid long-range fighter capable in close combat too. How am I supposed to counter that?
“Should I do the long-range?”
“Lady Lily?”
“I can do long-range, sure.”
She can use magic at a level comparable to a great mage, in addition to spears and hammers.
But the problem is her tragically low mana…
“No, Lady Lily, I think it’s better for you to stick to close-range.”
“Right. Watching you use that hammer makes it clear you’re no joke.”
[Agreed]
[Honestly, smashing everything is better than shooting from the back]
[For real, lol]
Neither Black nor Redberry, nor the viewers, seem to prefer long-range much.
If that’s the consensus…
“Alright. I’ll take the front line.”
“What about me?!”
“You can join me.”
A boy with black hair, similar in height and build to Leo.
His slit lizard-like eyes reminded me of the black dragon I had seen in the past.
Was it the Devil?
‘Not a dragon, though.’
He has a penalty of seeming like a middle schooler who might call a black dragon, but he’s not a Dragonborn or from a Dragon tribe.
Whether it’s a skill or equipment, he’s only using a tiny fraction of the dragon’s power.
At this rate, he’s pretty much human.
‘If he was a Dragonborn, I had something fun to share with him.’
Like the unique techniques specific to the Dragon Lord, gained by saving the declining Dragon Lord.
After staring for a while, the Devil stuttered and asked,
“Why, why?”
“Because you’re cute.”
“Eeek!”
At this rate, his face is going to explode.
[Hahahaha!]
[Devil’s Happiness]
[Lily Really Loves Kids]
[Look at that unintentional charm!]
[Lilphos…]
[That’s cheating, haha!]
[But honestly, Lily has no ulterior motives—it’s making me tear up…]
[Hey, Debung…]
“…Not cute.”
“What?”
“I’m not cute; I’m cool. So take that back!”
With a face much redder, the Devil huffed.
I couldn’t help but chuckle while staring at him.
“Not interested.”
“Huh?!”
“It’s my choice.”
While he shouted “What?” and got up, I let my hand run through his hair.
In slums, there were so many kids around this age.
They would rush over at the sight of me.
‘You don’t have to run so fast, I’m going to heal and share food anyway.’
It’s such a pity.
[Ah, hahahaha]
[Debung, ughhh]
[Why am I the only one being pitiful, haha]
[Get it together]
[But it’s hilarious he still likes it, haha]
“Ugh…!”
“It’s not just the two of you causing trouble. We also have other Mages and Tankers.”
“That’s right. It’s Freytion and Iron.”
Freytion, the Mage with connections to Bulak.
And Iron from the Tanker position.
Though they’re evaluated as a bit weak among the participants, they are also Rankers.
If the situation is set up properly, they can certainly do their part.
“Well, I know Freytion well, so I’m not too worried. Iron is just a standard Tanker with no distinct features.”
“Among this batch of Tankers, he’s the most average case. Regardless, the most important thing is the Spirit Druid combination.”
“…I’ll win, so don’t worry.”
In any case, today is just a quick analysis of power—not looking for countermeasures.
I nodded.
“Then let’s settle Leo’s team first… next team…”
A purple flag situated on the complete opposite end.
The star displaying the most skill in the current professional scene.
A team crowded with those rated almost as 1-tier.
Could they be the favorites to win?
“It’s Choco’s team.”
The team of Chota Choka Chuka Chip.
