Endless quickly jump back to try and avoid the attack, but as Lightning Empress charge is almost at its limit, the whole place is now enveloped with blinding light from the attack.
Lightning Empress is ready to unleash the attack, but she saw someone in her peripheral vision, something that resembles as a person; she knew for herself that Endless can move on that location, so with her full strength, she twists her body sideways ready to clash head-on.
"I knew you will do something like this!" Lightning Empress shouted.
But after facing Endless her expression changed, she didn't see a man with a feeling of shock or fear, but a man who is smiling, right at that moment she knew that whatever Endless is planning had succeeded.
An attack suddenly startled Lightning Empress, the attack directly hits her right arm that affects the aim of [The Gods Judgement] Skill, scattering the arrows all over the place, two of the arrows caught between the two sending Endless and Lightning Empress flying in the opposite direction.
The whole place is covered with dust and debris, Endless stood up and saw Lightning Empress walking towards him, holding his right hand.
As the dust settled, Endless saw clearly why Lightning Empress is not attacking.
"Y...Your arm"
I was surprised too, I never thought that the system will have an effect like this.
Lightning Empress's arm was cut off by the attack.
"An archer that lost an arm is as good as dead, and to top it all out, the system gave me a bleeding debuff that eats my remaining HP."
"The game is changing little by little, and this event is created for the purpose of testing it all."
Lightning Empress leaned towards the wall and fell sitting down.
"How did you do it? You can't even use skills, and you manage to defeat me. How did you do it?"
Zidyn then walked near Endless.
"This is Zidyn, my Guardian. Before you complete your attack I summoned him, I ordered him to extend his weapon so he can throw me straight near you, those debuffs really took a toll on my movements, and I figured you suffer on the same debuffs too".
"How did you know that I suffer the same debuffs?"
"I just figured it out because you used so many buffs before fighting, so I tested your first attack, I blocked some of it and noticed the damage is not that severe, so I gambled"
"Y...You gambled? what if you're wrong?"
"If I'm wrong?, then I'll just have to think another way to defeat you."
Lightning Empress then laughed out loud.
"I'm happy that I fought you, It's my loss, but I'll make sure to win next time."
Lightning Empress HP reached 0 and disappeared with a smile on her face.
"Master? are you ok? do you want me to use [Blood Transfusion] ?"
"No need to worry, I didn't sustain that much damage in the first place."
"But Master"
"Just be ready, the black vortex is starting to vanish, we may face a hoard of enemies waiting for us outside."
"I can hear a battle happening in the distance."
Endless saw a silhouette in the distance and dashed toward it, he leaped to attack and was surprised to see Shadow Fox.
"Woah!, easy there, bud."
Shadow Fox blocked the attack, suddenly a scythe appeared in the mist heading straight to Shadow Fox's neck.
"Zidyn! Stop!"
The scythe stops near Shadow Fox's neck.
"Y...You really go for the kill."
As the black mist clears out, they can see a group of players gathered in front of them, Red Jade then walked beside Endless.
"So, what's the plan now?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holy Temple - Island of Sky Garden
Holy Temple is the capital city of the Celestials. The city floats in the far North of the Beast Empire, the place is consist of 100 floating islands, and one of them is a massive plain only consisting of different flowers, this place is The Island of Sky Garden.
A black portal appeared in the middle of the garden, Crimson Butterfly appeared followed by Snowdrop, Periwinkle and Black Dahlia.
"Late as usual."
A tall, thin man wearing glasses and a white silk robe with red metallic shoulder pads in tack with a long crimson red thorn cape.
"We are already here, so quit your nagging, and let's start the meeting," Snowdrop said.
"Feisty as always, Is it wrong to question the leader about proper punctuality?"
The other players who are gathered in the garden suddenly started chatting with each other.
"Laceleaf, Stop joking around, now that the leader is present we can now start the meeting."
A deep voice echoed the whole place, and all of the players fell silent.
A man with black wavy hair and 2 dead black eyes without emotion, he wears a white armor with gold lining with a skull engraving in the chest, shoulders, and knees.
"Good day, Master Crimson Butterfly."
"Good day to you too, Vice Master Gladiolus," Crimson Butterfly replied, smirking in front of him.
"Now that you're here, please start the meeting."
Crimson Butterfly stood in the middle.
"I'm stepping down as the Master and appointing Gladiolus as the new Guild Master of the soon to be established guild."
"W...What the hell are you saying!" Black Dahlia shouted.
The crowd started arguing with each other dividing the player's opinion on both sides.
"What are you proposing now?"
"Choose anyone you want as a Vice Guild Leader, but let me lead the 1st Brigade".
"You want to lead the first brigade?"
"Yes, a brigade with the freedom to venture without the Guild questioning our movement and motives, and let me first choose the players that will accompany me."
"The First Brigade is the second strongest attack force of the guild, by choosing capable players such as Snowdrop and Black Dahlia will cripple the guild on its progress."
"We will still take arms if the Guild need us the most, but we will decide when and where, if I want to cripple the guilds progress, then I should just make my own guild and separate myself and the others from you, right?"
Laceleaf then approached Gladiolus and whispered something.
"Ok, then."
"Then I'll make the contract now, the contract will state that the 1st Brigade will have 20% of the players in the guild, I will send you the names of the individuals who I'll choose under my team".
"So be it," Gladiolus said.
