“Who’s that bastard?” Park Sung-Jin asked.

He had no idea who Siegfried was, and his guild members had no idea as well.
There were two reasons why they couldn’t quite grasp Siegfried’s identity.
The first reason was that Park Sung-Jin and the Genesis Guild members did not have the same ability as Gosran or Betelgeuse to see through the Metamorphosis Mask Siegfried was wearing. The second reason was that Park Sung-Jin and his guild members were not affiliated with the Genesis Guild during the days when the Genesis Guild was still clashing against Siegfried.
None of the Genesis Guild members at Metropolis had any idea of Siegfried’s identity.
“Who the hell are you?” Park Sung-Jin asked, and then he flashed a sinister smile and asked again, “Do you have any idea what the hell you did just now?”
“What did I do?” Siegfried asked in response, feigning ignorance.
“What did you just say…?”
“I said, what did I do?”
“Hahaha!” Park Sung-Ji laughed in disbelief before he looked at his guild members and said, “Hey, guys. This guy says that he has no idea what he did just now.”
Then, the Genesis Guild members reacted one by one.
“Wow! Is he brave or just stupid?”
“Look at this brazen bastard!”
“I think this will be his last day playing the game.”
“He has balls of steel. I'll give him that!”
“The guy has cojones coming here, feigning ignorance and all!”
The Genesis Guild members sneered at Siegfried.
“Hey, owner punk. Why the hell are they acting so strong? Aren’t they just a bunch of weaklings?” Hamchi asked after inspecting the Genesis Guild members.
“You’re right. They are just a bunch of weaklings,” Siegfried replied.
“But why are they acting so high and mighty? Hamchi is confused! I’m so confused! Kyu!”
There was no way that Hamchi was aware of the Genesis Guild, which was one of the top ten guilds on the continent, so his reaction was understandable.
“Why are they acting so high and mighty? Who knows…? Maybe they believe that there’s strength in numbers?” Siegfried replied with a shrug.
“Are you telling me that these fucking weaklings are acting like that because there are a lot of them? Is lynching the only thing they have in their brains?”
“Exactly.”
“Kyuuu! No wonder they look like fucking losers! Kyu!” Hamchi laughed hysterically while pointing at the Genesis Guild members.
“That crazy hamster dares to…!” Park Sung-Jin grimaced and growled after hearing Hamchi and Siegfried’s conversation. “Hey, newbie. Did you just say that you have no idea what you just did? Can’t you see this?”
Park Sung-Jin proudly pointed at the V-Shaped badge on his chest and said, “We are the Genesis Guild.”

“So…?” Siegfried tilted his head in confusion and asked.
“…!”
“What about it?”
“What about it? Ha… Do I have to spell it out for you? We are—” Park Sung-Jin arrogantly started.
However, Siegfried cut him off and said, “What? Top ten guild? Are you talking about that? Then, I’m aware of that.”
Then, Siegfried continued, “I know you guys very well. Your guild gathers weaklings like you guys and depends on your numbers. Yes, if you are referring to your guild, then I am very well aware of who you guys are.”
“This bastard dares to…! Do you really think you will be able to handle the consequences–-” Park Sung-Jin retorted.
However, Siegfried cut him off again. “You have no business worrying about that.”
Whiiiish!
Siegfried ambushed Park Sung-Jin by throwing his hammer at the latter using Flying Spur.
However, his ambush failed.
“Raid Leader-nim!”
“It’s dangerous!”
The Adventurers tasked with protecting Park Sung-Jin, who was the main Buffer and leader of the raid party, blocked the hammer with their bodies.
Thud...! Thud…!
Of course, they died on the spot.
“Have you finally gone crazy? Hey! What are you guys doing? Go and kill that bastard!” shouted Park Sung-Jin while pointing at Siegfried.
“Yes, Raid Leader-nim!”
The Genesis Guild members responded in unison like soldiers and instantly rushed toward Siegfried. This kind of reaction was only possible because the Genesis Guild placed heavy importance on their hierarchy, similar to the military.
“Owner punk! The weaklings are coming after us! Kyuu!”
“You don’t have to tell me, I know.”
Siegfried caught his hammer flying toward him and gripped it tightly as he prepared for the battle that was about to begin.

‘Sigh… Why did you mess with us of all the people you can mess with?’
‘Will he even last ten seconds?’
‘Aren’t we being too cruel to that piece of shit? I mean… we don’t really have to gang up on him at once…’

The Genesis Guild members were confident of their victory against Siegfried. Well, it was a logical conclusion. They outnumbered him almost more than fifty to one, and their levels were much higher than his, but most importantly, they possessed the ‘very special strategy,’ which was the trademark of the Genesis Guild.
[Alert: Park Sung-Jin has cast a 7% Attack Power increase buff on you!]
[Alert: Park Sung-Jin has cast a 7% Defense increase buff on you!]
[Alert: Park Sung-Jin has cast a 7% Movement Speed increase buff on you!]
[Alert: Park Sung-Jin has cast a 7% Attack Speed increase buff on you!]
The main keyword of the Genesis Guild’s special strategy was none other than ‘buff’.
The archnemesis of Siegfried and the Guild Master of the Genesis Guild, Chae Hyung-Seok, possessed a very unique class known as the ‘Holy Saint’[1]. The Holy Saint was a class that possessed the ability to connect Adventurers with Buffer-type classes to him to enhance their buffs. In short, he possessed a class that allowed him to become the leader of Buffers.
The Genesis Guild became the guild with the most Buffers among their ranks on the Nürburg Continent thanks to Chae Hyung-Seok’s unique ability, and their numbers explosively increased since then.
Their army of Buffers, coupled with their overwhelming numbers, instantly catapulted them to join the ranks of the top ten guilds on the continent.
The strategy used by the Genesis Guild members attacking Siegfried was the same.
Their main Buffer, Park Sung-Jin, along with nine other Buffers, cast buffs on the ninety plus others to explosively increase their stats, and they were going to use their overwhelming numbers and buffed stats to gang up on Siegfried.
However, the buffs that catapulted the Genesis Guild to one of the top ten guilds on the Nürburg Continent were nothing in front of Siegfried.
Why?
Siegfried’s class—Debuff Master—specialized in neutralizing buffs. In other words, he was the Genesis Guild’s natural enemy.
Siegfried’s debuffs were powerful enough to not only neutralize the buffs cast by nobodies like Park Sung-Jin and his gang, but it could even drag their stats to the ground as well.
‘Time to set up my debuff fields…’ Siegfried casted Circle of Mortality, Speed Restraint, and Wave of Oppression at the same time.
‘What’s going on?’
‘Did they cast the buffs or not?’
‘Why do I feel weak all of a sudden?’
‘Is it just me, or am I moving slower than usual…?’
The Genesis Guild members who naively walked into Siegfried’s debuff field were confused when they suddenly felt weaker than usual, but it was already too late for them to realize what was going on.
‘Eat this!’ Siegfried smashed his hammer into the ground.
Baaam!
The ground split open as jaw-dropping damage struck the Genesis Guild members, but that was not the end of it.
Whoosh!
The Genesis Guild members were thrown into the air.

Craaashhh!
They were suddenly slammed into the ground.
Flash!
Lightning then flashed from above as dozens of lightning bolts mercilessly struck the ground.
[Alert: Your ally has been killed!]

[Alert: Your ally has been killed!]
A flurry of messages popped up in front of the leader of the Metropolis Raid Party, Park Sung-Jin.
“What’s going on?!” he cried out in horror, and then he turned toward the other Buffers and lashed out. “B-Buffs! Why are they dying so quickly?! It looks like they didn’t receive any buffs at all! Do your job properly, you bastards!”
However, the Buffers felt wronged by his lashing out. It wasn’t that they did not do their job properly, but rather, Siegfried’s debuffs were so powerful that their buffs were basically rendered useless.
“But we buffed them…!”

“I’m sure that I cast my buffs on them!”
“My skills are even on cooldown right now!”
The Buffers vehemently protested against Park Sung-Jin’s accusations against them.
Sseuu…!
Siegfried unleashed his radioactive energy to finish off the Genesis Guild members that did not die from Splitting Heaven and Earth. The poor guild members melted and died instantly.
“Is that bastard really Level 142? How is he so strong?!”
“That’s crazy! He’s just Level 142?!”
“Do something! They’re dying!”
The Genesis Guild members were in chaos and confusion as more than forty of their guild members instantly died at the hands of a Level 142 weakling they were looking down on just a while ago.
‘As expected. These small fries are not scary at all,’ Siegfried thought with a smile.
This was the main reason that he was able to confidently pick a fight against the Genesis Guild this time. The Genesis Guild had a lot of weaknesses because of their sudden increase in numbers, and one of their main weaknesses because of that was the ‘quality’ of their members. This was a problem that they were bound to run into as they accepted every Tom, Dick, and Harry to their guild.
Of course, this was not a weakness known to the general public as even a dog or a cow could become a wolf or a minotaur as long as they had an army of Buffers. However, it was a whole different story if it was against the Debuff Master, Siegfried, who had the ability to turn a wolf or a minotaur into a dog or a cow with his debuffs alone.
In short, he was an enemy that could blatantly expose the ‘quality’ weakness of the Genesis Guild with his debuffs.
“Damn it!” Park Sung-Jin cried out. “That bastard is a Debuffer! A Debuffer! Get away from those circles on the ground! The buffs will disappear if you stand on top of it!”

The Genesis Guild members immediately tried to get away from the debuff circles at Park Sung-Jin’s command.
‘No way I’m gonna let you.’ Siegfried chased after the Genesis Guild members trying to get away from his debuff circles.
***
Ten minutes later, the Genesis Guild members who managed to escape from the debuff circles launched all sorts of ranged attacks at him, and the ones who were strong enough toughened out the radioactive energy and attacked him up close and personal.
‘This isn’t as easy as I thought it would be…’ Siegfried thought.
“Die, you bastard!”
“Eat this!”
“Oh? You evaded it? Try avoiding this!”
In fact, the remaining Genesis Guild members were able to attack Siegfried ferociously after the weaker members were gone because they could finally move about without bumping into each other. On top of that, the buffs that were distributed among the countless members were consolidated to the remaining few strong members, which ended Siegfried’s one-sided slaughter party.
However, Siegfried’s debuffs weren’t the only tricks he had up his sleeves.
“How the hell is he so good at fighting? Is he really Level 142? What the hell is with that control? Is he a pro gamer? Tsk…” Park Sung-Jin clicked his tongue while watching Siegfried fight evenly against the guild members, even without the help of his debuff circles.
Honestly, it was more appropriate to say that he was still overpowering the Genesis Guild members.
Whiiiish… Baaam!
Siegfried’s hammer ignored the laws of physics and smashed into the heads of the Genesis Guild members attacking him far away.
Shiiik!
He drilled holes in the bodies of the Genesis Guild members close to him.
Kablam!
In addition, he even had a shield that appeared out of nowhere from time to time to bash the guild members who managed to get too close to him.
Siegfried was using three weapons almost simultaneously to kill the Genesis Guild members one by one as if the concept of weapon equipping cooldown did not exist for him.
Siegfried’s debuffs weren’t that useful anymore, but he was displaying awe-striking control that was on par with top Rankers.
‘That bastard will be able to kill Rankers once he reaches Level 200! Where did this monster come from? Is he a Ranker from another game or something?!’ Park Sung-Jin could not help but be in awe at Siegfried’s abilities, despite the latter being an enemy.
While Park Sung-Jin was in awe of his enemy, he was stupefied once more, “W-What the hell?! Why is he getting stronger?! How the hell is he getting stronger again?!”
Siegfried was already displaying superb control and abilities, even without the help of his debuff circles, but he became explosively stronger and started massacring the remaining Genesis Guild members one by one.
