Chapter 257: Sterl: When Will I Make My Entrance?

"Everyone, I apologize for the alarm."

"To think that for a level 3 guild, we would resort to such infighting is truly a disgrace for us at the Hall of Valor."

"Honestly, I feel a bit ashamed. I was nearby just now, but I feared you might be in the wrong, so I observed for a while before stepping in. Fortunately, I managed to prevent you from taking any damage."

The peak legendary player spoke with an air of warmth and charm, presenting himself as a kind-hearted gentleman.

However...

The members of the Twilight guild found his words quite strange.

What did he mean by observing from the sidelines and worrying that they were in the wrong?

"Aren't you the reinforcements our guild leader called for?"

"Or did you come at the behest of The Legend of the White Robe?"

"What do you mean by that?"

...

Upon hearing this, the peak legendary player was taken aback.

Wait a minute, under normal circumstances, I saved your lives and annihilated the enemies. At this point, you should be deeply grateful and bow down in appreciation, right?

Why do you think I'm just someone sent by someone else?

What a joke! I had been lurking for half a day, deliberately hiding among the crowd, releasing blood arrows to provoke Gregory into action, and then wiped them out in one fell swoop, doing you a favor.

With such a perfect plan, how could you not appreciate it?

"Ahem."

The peak legendary player cleared his throat, shaking his head.

"I don't know who that guild leader or The Legend of the White Robe you mentioned is."

"I merely happened to be present and acted out of a sense of justice."

He said with a smile.

Instantly, he noticed that the members of the Twilight guild stiffened, showing signs of wariness.

He wasn't surprised.

These people had just been attacked, so it was completely normal for them to be on guard.

"Now you understand just how attractive a level 3 guild is, don't you?"

The peak legendary player merely smiled faintly, laying his cards on the table.

"Your guild is bound to attract countless competitors, and with your current strength, you absolutely won't be able to defend it."

"I have a proposal. It's not about seizing your guild; I'm willing to join Twilight. Moreover, my group of brothers is also willing to come along."

"But we old-timers obviously understand the Hall of Valor much better. Afterward, how about we re-select the guild leader based on contributions to the guild?"

This peak legendary player was advocating for a peaceful transition.

His earlier maneuvers and efforts to build rapport were precisely for this purpose.

Given the great favor I've done for you, joining the guild should be a no-brainer, right?

Besides, with a group of your members gone, there should be plenty of space available in the guild now.

Once he joined the guild, how could a group of third-class players, at most low-tier legendary players, compete with a peak legendary player like him?

Before long, Twilight would essentially become the peak legendary player's possession.

He would win twice over without breaking a sweat.

This peak legendary player was also aware that many of the members in the Twilight guild had passed the extreme trials...

After all, not everyone was as low-key as Sterl.

Some members of his guild had openly discussed their achievements in passing the extreme trials.

Thus, the peak legendary player had already deduced that the earliest members of the Twilight guild were likely geniuses who had passed the extreme trials!

If he could take control of this level 3 guild, not only would he gain significant benefits, unlocking a premium contribution store, but he would also acquire a group of exceptionally talented subordinates. Furthermore, these individuals might even grow to surpass him in the future. The peak legendary player believed he still had a chance to ride on their coattails.

Sterl simply felt that he wanted to wait for a better moment to make his grand entrance, ideally after all the other forces had shown up.

"Here we go!"

Sterl suddenly perked up!

The burly man cloaked in bear skin didn't even have time to repeat his request.

He felt the air around him suddenly become dense, almost suffocating him, and the words that spread through the vibrations in the air dissipated into nothingness.

At that moment...

Whoosh!

Another figure appeared.

This time, it was a young man adorned with patterns resembling a white tiger, and just by speaking, the air currents around him seemed to be drawn in his direction.

Yet another peak legendary player!

Even without taking the initiative to attack, he could manipulate the air currents, effectively silencing everyone present.

In an instant, everyone was forced to focus on the young man.

"Sorry, but I've decided to take this level 3 guild for myself. I mean, you two are on the verge of breaking through to demigod status, yet you're acting so cowardly, unable to even muster the courage to claim a guild?"

"Well, I have that courage!"

The young man stepped forward, casting a lecherous glance at the sisters, Sosia and Sonis.

"And these two sisters are quite nice as well; they are all mine now!"

"You dare!"

However, before the young man could make a move, the other two peak legendary players had already positioned themselves in front of him. Their immense power broke through the barrier of air, allowing them to speak!

It wasn't that these two cared much about Sosia and Sonis.

Rather, they understood that the three peak legendary players were destined to clash to determine the ownership of this level 3 guild and a batch of talents who had passed the extreme trials.

Thus, it was the perfect opportunity to strike when the young man was trying to make his move! This would also help to bolster the goodwill of the players who had passed the extreme trials.

Even if, in reality, it was the peak legendary players who were forcibly taking over the guild, at least it would appear more respectable on the surface.

Suddenly...

Boom!!

The ground trembled.

In an instant, the powers of Frost, Thunder, and Hurricane—three of the fundamental elemental Laws—shone brilliantly.

The members of the Twilight guild were fortunately regarded as non-hostile units.

But the unfortunate boss was not so lucky; it was swiftly torn to pieces under the onslaught of the three types of Law Power!

This was the power of peak legendary players; even the residual force of their momentum was beyond what ordinary beings could withstand.

At that moment, the Twilight guild members were utterly stunned.

"So this is what it feels like to be powerless, to let others fight over you like you're just merchandise."

"Can we think of it positively? At least we have the qualification to be fought over; otherwise, even high-tier legendary players would kill us in an instant."

"We thought that The Legend of the White Robe we encountered during the trials was strong enough, but it turns out there are always greater mountains to climb."

...

Their current mindset was quite simple...

First, they felt weak, realizing that they had to become stronger to avoid being bullied!

Second, they thought, "Whatever, let it all be destroyed!"

After all, nothing they did mattered; they might as well resign themselves to being slaughtered!

And then...

Boom!!

The powers unleashed by the three peak legendary players officially collided!
