Joker and Happy Scholar became purple when they saw that their hidden trump card turned out to be the Void Monsters.
They had been told by the Rank 7 powers that the item would create a temporary portal that would summon an army of monsters capable to overturn any situation to their side.
The Rank 7 powers had never been specific on exactly what kind of monsters would show up, but the reason for their mysteriousness was crystal clear now.
Despite how it might seem, Joker and Happy Scholar were not idiots. Had they known about what would happen, they'd rather just lose the Guild War than allow these monsters to run rampant in the world.
They might not know the specific details, but any gamer with a functioning brain would be able to reason that summoning OP monsters, who even qualified to be treated as a world-class catastrophe, would be a suicidal idea.
