In the highest room of the Darklord guild, Darklord himself was slumped on the couch, pressing his temples.
The series of events that had transpired recently had left him feeling an immense sense of crisis.
John's rapid rise in strength and his powerful special skills were like thorns in Darklord's side.
"Why has he become so strong? This shouldn't be happening!"
Darklord continued to mutter to himself in complaint.
Just then, his door was suddenly knocked on.
Darklord sat up angrily and yelled at the door, "Didn't I tell you before? I'm resting! Don't disturb me!"
His furious roar made the members of the Darklord guild outside shiver.
They were already startled by John's sudden emergence.
