Ding!
[Doubtful that this needed to be said, but for peace's sake. With every guild you beat, you'll be eligible for their land, whether you take it as it is or sell it for coins for its value. This applies to the previous stage. Happy hunting.]
Kiro didn't think this would cause a ruckus, that was what guild wars were all about. If you lose it wasn't just a loss, you stood to lose more, your base.
He was surprised that people still complained about how the system keeps information hidden until the very last minute.
This made him look around with contempt. How could they not have known that the consequences would be much dire than losing levels.
Next up was Isla's guild. They were the first guild amongst the ones that already went up that chose an all out war.
'How daring!' Kiro complimented in admiration.
Kiro noticed the flute he'd given her, hanging around her waist. She looked meaner and serious than he'd ever seen her. She was clearly taking this more seriously than Kiro had initially given her credit for.
"Your girlfriend sure looks fiesty!" Hiro whispered to him.
He gave him a deadly stare which made him retreat with his hands in the air. As if to show him that he was unarmed and he needn't attack him.
When he turned, the battle had already begun. Dragon Tail was challenged by Dragon Slayers, a guild that was in the top 5. That was probably why Isla seemed to be in a sour mood.
Kiro had missed it due to Hiro's banter but Isla had already killed two with her dangerous arrow. There were no mountains she could use as her hiding spot, so instead there were countless mana spots in the air.
She had created mana steps, she was watching the battle from above, like a goddess of some kind. She occasionally shot her arrows, while her guildmates were attacking their enemies vigorously.
"Look at her go!" This was the first battle that had him excited. So he blurted out what he said, he didn't care about the looks that earned him either.
He looked away from Isla for but a second, but she'd already grown stronger than he'd ever imagined. Saanvi wasn't slacking either. Her agility was too good for a priest, they unfortunately didn't have someone like Ishaan on their team, so the healers learned to be active on the battlefield.
They were moving fast enough so as to avoid most of the attacks by their enemy.
"You little b*tch, come down here and fight me properly, like a man!" Dragon Slayer guild leader complained.
Kiro almost flew where he stood, if Hiro hadn't been there. This could've been their shameful moment, as they would getting banned from participating for 2 months.
"Isla has gotten too strong, don't you think?" Nikolai was utterly impressed.
He wasn't lying. The last time they'd fought together was against the harbinger and then, she wasn't this strong. She must've spent the entire school holidays trying to get stronger. It was damn impressive.
Felix watched with the goal in mind, he wanted to fight Isla more than he wanted to fight Kiro. He didn't think she was stronger than him, but he did assess that their strengths weren't too far apart.
This was the first exciting battle the crowd has seen so far. None of them could shut up. Everything was happening at once, they didn't even know where their focus should be.
Von was soon getting a new nickname 'The destroyer.'
His new fans were chanting his name as he combed through enemies like they were level 1 monsters.
"What the hell is Isla feeding them?" Hiro asked.
It wasn't anything special, but she made them go on dungeon runs at every opportunity they got, which was almost everyday during the holidays. They went until they couldn't anymore, which even then they were forced to.
Isla was a scary leader. She told them if they lose the wars, they'd go on even more dangerous dungeons every single day for hours on end. So this motivated them, none wanted to be stuck in-game and not live their lives.
It was an amusing sight as not even the priests were getting killed by Dragon Slayer members. It was an embarrassing moment.
Just then, the leader of the other group popped something into his mouth. He could see that they were losing, so he ate something that he was told it would ensure him strength.
It didn't take a second after he'd eaten it, his muscles started to bulge. Black veins appeared on his skin, they were everywhere. He looked like some type of monster. He had a stupid grin on his face.
Isla could sense the danger that was growing in front of them, she sent three mana arrows his way. He didn't even attempt to dodge, he already knew they'd follow him, he just stood there. The arrows hit their target perfectly, an explosion sounded. Cheers from the crowd erupted, but they soon quietened when they saw it.
The arrows hadn't left a single scratch on him. He laughed maniacally. Find out more on m-vl-em-pyr
"Oh, he was right, this makes me a god."
He disappeared where he stood and appeared in front of Von, the kick he gave him caused him to fly to the edge of the battlefield.
The tide was turning or so it seemed. Dragon Tail was being destroyed by a single man. They even lost a priest.
Isla slowly descended her mana steps. The flute on hand, for the first time since she got it, she started using her seducer subclass. She played music with the flute, she'd practised this a lot. So she knew what she was doing.
