The three stood in front of 20+ players who are ready to kill them.
"Dude, If you still have something on your ass, this is the right time to pull it out," Shadow Fox said.
"Maybe they just want to make friends," Endless replied with a smile on his face.
"Why don't you try asking them?" Red Jade said
"Wow, that's the most idiotic idea I had ever heard" Shadow fox said as he glare on Red Jade
"Awwww. I think someone needs a hug," Endless mockingly replied to Shadow Fox.
Suddenly an AOE magic exploded and wiped half of the players in front of them, followed by two shadow figures eliminating the players one by one.
"Reinforcement has arrived!" Endless shouted.
"Do you know them?"
"....No," Endless said with a smirking smile on his face
"You really are an idiot."
The enemies fall one by one until only 3 players remain. The three have a nymph features, one of them is a girl carrying a massive tome, the other one takes a gigantic shield and a mace while the other one carries a giant sword on its shoulder. The three approached Endless, and his team, who has a dumbfounded look on their faces.
"Good day, I'm Sofia from Lions Den Guilds 4th Battalion, this man right here is our defender, Mavious and that one is our melee attacker Narsisus"
"Umm...So?"
Red Jade smacked the back of Endless's head.
"You're an Idiot!. Good day, I'm sorry for the lack of respect that my party members showed you, I'm Red Jade, this one is Shadow Fox, and the idiotic one is our leader Endless."
"Why did you hit me!?" Endless shouted.
"Because you're a moron! these guys just save our asses, and you didn't even thank them."
"Why? Are you sure that they are on our side? do you think that I can't take on does guys!?"
"They just save us dude... so yeah, and does guys are ready to kill us... so... No" Shadow Fox mocked Endless.
"Please, we are here by order of our guild leader," Sofia said.
"We don't know what your relationship with our guild leader, but to tell you the truth, we are against helping you," Mavious said.
"Stop it Mavious, Sorry for that, he's just upset on the sudden order of the guild," Narsisus said.
"You two are upset too! the guild leaders' first order is to win this game, and now he changed it to help these nobodies!?" Mavious said.
"Stop it Mavious! The Guild Leaders order is absolute, you have no right to question it!" Sofia said.
"Stop it, you two, the others are already finished and started to quit, it's time for us to move too," Narsisus said.
"I'm sorry for that, Congratulations on winning the game" Sofia smiled at them before quitting the event.
"You didn't even say thank you?" Red Jade asked Endless.
"So that is why you're strong, you event personally know the Lions Den Guild Leader," Shadow fox said.
"I don't even know those guys."
"W...What!? did they helped the wrong person?"
"They didn't help me, they just stole my prey."
"Oh stop it, you didn't even have a plan."
"I do have a plan!, and I could've used it if they charged on us."
"And what's your plan?"
"We'll just have to run, Ohh. . . I almost forgot something."
Endless then ran towards the area where the battle ended, he started picking the necklaces that are scattered all over the place.
"You really are shameless."

Vulcan Empire
Crimson Butterfly sat on the bench near the central plaza where the statue of Master Zafir was erected, A cloaked man approached the back of the bench and sat on it.
"Do you have something for me?" Crimson Butterfly asked.
"Wolf's Bane and Bleeding Heart already gathered the rest of the 13 Poisons."
"Good, hide from the shadows, for now, I'll let you know if I need anything from you."
"Master, News travels fast... Are you planning something?"
"Do you know what a Monarch Butterfly is?, some say they have the most colorful and beautiful wings, some say because of this they attract the predators, but little did they know that those beautiful and colorful wings are there to help the predators distinguish the Monarchs from the other butterflies so they will know who to avoid. Because inside of that beautiful butterfly lies death."
A man wearing only a set of basic adventure armor approached the two.
"Monarch butterflies eat poisonous milkweed in their larval stage, making them one of the most poisonous types of butterfly."
The cloaked man bowed after seeing the man.
"You really took your time, Sunflower."
"You know me, I just loved to roam around and see the beauty of nature," Sunflower said while waving his hand towards the cloaked figure.
"I'll take my leave now master Crimson Butterfly, Mister Sunflower."
"Tell Swallowtail I said Hi."
"I will make sure that the Master will receive your message."
The cloaked figure then vanished instantly.
"The others are asking me if you have a plan, and here you are mobilizing your very own personal assassins, what a crafty fellow."
"Invisible and inevitable, like a butterfly that beats its wings in one corner of the globe and with that single action changes the weather halfway across the world."
"The Butterfly Effect... I'm despondent about the news... Gladiolus really has no idea who his facing".
"Let the others know that they can come out of the shadows now."
"Are you planning on reviving the Garden of Eden?"
"Do you think those old fools will listen to me?"
"They're still waiting for you to do your job seriously."
"Make the proper transition, and do me a favor, stop cosplaying as a low-level psychopath that helps beautiful girls on their quests."
"Ouch, why do you know me so well?"

Endless and the others arrived in the middle of the Maze.
System: Congratulations on winning "The Path to Beast Empire" you will be teleported back in 1 minute.
"So guys, told you we can win this one, am I right?"
"Bro, if you don't have a guild, just PM me, my guild and I reside in Phoenix Realm."
"No thanks bro, I'm planning on building my own guild."
"What server do you reside in?" Red Jade asked.
"The Dragons Realm"

"Times up! thanks again, bro!"
"See you later."
"Hahaha. Thank you too."
The three were engulfed by a white light. After being teleported, Endless opened his eyes and noticed that he didn't end up in front of the Beast Empires Gate. He was teleported on an island above the sky.
