Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

'There are seventy six thousand demons around you, however none can be trapped.'

The cold sound of the artifact sounded in my mind informing me with what I never expected to hear.

'What is this supposed to mean? Why can't you trap the demons?'

'There is something interfering with my abilities. As long as this thing still exists, I wouldn't be able to do anything,' the artifact replied.

'What thing is this?' I asked with increasing anger in my voice.

'It's the castle, you need to eliminate it first or else I won't be able to trap the demons.'

I looked towards the general direction of the castle as I suddenly felt some heavy pressure over my chest. if I doubted it before, now I was pretty sure of it.

These preparations were done for me. These players were here to kill me, or at least prevent me from going forward an inch.

Although my mission required me to take a post at level two ground, I knew now it would be impossible to even achieve that as long as this castle was still standing.

I had to take down this castle even if I was to tear its rocks one by one. I turned to look sharply at Gen as I asked:

"Are you sure about the way you said to control the castle?"

He seemed to be startled by my sudden change in temper, so he replied at once:

"Yes, that's the way."

"and we need just to be in one hundred meters radius from the centre of the castle, right? Not in a specific direction?"

He nodded as he didn't get what I was thinking of. When I got his confirmation I began to draw the plan which would enable me to turn the table over these bitches.

I wouldn't destroy the castle, I would rather acquire it to myself and use it later on as my own asset.

This scheme, this whole thing had driven me over the edge. I didn't feel this horrible or angry ever in my life. I was lucky enough to discover their dirty plan ahead of time, although my counter plan wasn't perfect.

However at least I had a shot against a castle that level one hundred players and mystic art masters couldn't touch before.

"Come, we have things to be ready for. Rog, go back and stay with everyone and don't do anything until I give you the signal to do it."

Rog looked towards me in question, however I didn't plan to bring him or anyone else with me on this. This plan was risky, and I had to make sure I wasn't burning all my cards in one go.

As Rog found me like this he didn't argue with me. things seemed to be off so sudden as I turned from being at ease to act like my life was about to end.

Once he vanished I looked towards Gen as I said:

"Let's go, we will pay a visit to these players first."

"…"

Gen ordered the players to follow my lead. For my plan to succeed I had to overcome many unpredictable variables. To do so I had to obtain one advantage, absolute power in one Vs one situations.

So, instead of trapping demons and adding them to my army, I would do the opposite. I would trap players and make them join my army. After that I could easily face thousands of demons head on and overcome them.

That was, ofcourse, if things went according to my plan.

"May I ask, do you have a plan?" Gen suddenly asked as we were heading towards the closest group of players to us.

"Yes, but it's risky," I simply replied.

"Odds of success?" he asked.

"Not zero if that's what you want to know," I replied.

My answer was enough to silence him, as right now I was busy with something else. Was that hall master part of this mysterious organization that was aiming at me?

I didn't know if I was careless or the destiny was playing dirty tricks on me, but right when I totally dropped what Shin had warned me about, facts began to hit my face with their cold hands one after another.

It seemed to survive here. I had to be powerful, so powerful that no one would ever dare to touch me again.

I clenched my fist holding the spear so tight that I even felt numbness there. I lacked time, and I also lacked some daring moves. If I continued to play according to the game rules I would fail.

So, I decided to change everything. From the moment I would return back I had to do what others wouldn't expect me to, I would start preparing to establish my own guild.

My aim was the closest group of players lying in ambush nearest to the castle. I wanted to see if I could use my artifact this close to the castle or not.

After one hour of running, we were only ten minutes away from the players, so I raised my spear to issue a stop order to my personal army. Then I took out my artifact as I thought:

'Trap all the players here.'

'There are fifteen thousand players, do you want to trap them?'

I made a long sigh of relief when I heard these words. It seemed the castle wasn't fully operational yet, or else I wouldn't be able to use my artifact on these players.

So, if I managed to attract the enemy outside the protection of the castle then I would be able to raise the success rate of my plan by double at least.

If I also managed to draw the head of the snake, the heads of these players, then I could end everything in a flashy manner. But I knew they wouldn't be that reckless especially if they already knew the drawbacks of their plan.

So I didn't hesitate to issue the order to absorb all these players into my artifact. In moments my artifact was full of players. I then put the artifact away as I said:

"Let's go to the next group. Leave one player here to scout the area. If there is any movement coming from the castle, make sure to inform me as soon as possible."

"Ok," Gen replied as he began to arrange things. I like Gen, he was a less talkative and really dependable person. In minutes we were on the run again, this time we headed south towards the next team group.

After half an hour, we reached the location of that group as I used my artifact to add twenty thousand players to my collection. After that we kept moving from one group to another until we ended up by the last group nearest to the walls of the castle.

After collecting six groups of hidden enemies, I had collected eighty five thousand players, all were level seventy and above.

That was a sight to be seen with admiration, however I didn't feel any pride or excitement as I knew this was the easiest step of my plan.

"How are things in the first group we ambushed?" I asked Gen to make sure of something.

"There is nothing yet," Gen replied.

"Good, I hope they stay inside their walls for now."

I wanted them to move out their demon army to face me, however I didn't plan to do so right now. If I had to face these demons now then I would have to waste more time here.

The more I spent here the more closer this damn caste would be to finish. The next step of my plan was regarding the players I captured.

It was time to make them be my loyal subjects, and then I would spread them again back to their original posts like nothing had happened.

Misconception, that was a major part of my plan, and I had to make sure my enemies would fall for it.
