Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

The performance of the demon astonished every single one of my guards, and the look they gave me changed, to be full of respect.

I knew they considered me as a lucky kid, but I wasn't! I had to reach this state of mine with my bitter work and sweat, not just a simple luck gifting everything to me.

Even now, when I was supposed to enjoy a moment of glory, I was targeted, wanted to be dead. I had enemies that seemed so fixed on seeing my dead body hung on this town's main gate, and right now I had the urge to do the same to them, and I would.

"Princess, are you ok?" Diana was first to come to me. I sensed her worry, and I really appreciated that all the time. "I'm fine, how did you come here?" I asked, as my mind was full of questions right now, so I wanted to take one of them down.

"We were informed of a grave danger approaching us, so the mayor sent someone to warn and grant us shelter here," she said, while others appeared from the main gate of the mansion.

It seemed this danger didn't only target me alone, but all my upper echelon as well. Even if the mayor could protect me, she couldn't protect everyone on my team.

"Don't worry, the worst is over," I said, reassuring her and everyone else, "where is the mayor?" I asked, as I noticed the place was void of any guards, except my own guards who kept themselves at the front door protecting the gate.

"They disappeared a while ago," Elyo said.

"I heard them speak of an enemy approaching, so they went ahead to help the mayor," Rody suddenly said, and my mind suddenly had a paralyzing shock. 'Did she asked me to come here so she could protect me?' I wondered, before I seriously said:

"Wait here."

I then turned back, heading towards the gate of the mansion. We were standing in the open garden of this place, which was a very large garden, worthy to be the garden of such a huge mayor mansion.

"Esteemed hero, please wait for my lady to return, she instructed us to deliver you this message."

The moment I approached them, all the dozen turned to look at me while replying in unison. My guess was right, she did so to protect me, and from the shape of it, she really was facing a tough foe.

"Well, let me tell you this for once, you will stay here while one of you comes and leads the way to where the battle was going. If you don't do that, then I will be forced to bring forth my own demon!"

My words startled them, as they knew how strong my demon became. They exchanged silent glances, with some nervousness in their faces. "Esteemed hero, the place where my lady is fighting is hard to get for us," one of them finally spoke, alone, without the need for the chorus of them.

"Really?" I asked without buying what he just claimed.

"For us yes, but not for you," he added, making me have some understanding of the situation, "but I have to warn you, this enemy is really formidable," he said, as he tried to make me renege on my intentions.

"Just tell me how to get there," I didn't flinch from his warning, instead I became more eager to fight.

The NPC hesitated, before he took out a gold coin, big enough that it seemed like a medal not a coin, "here is the coin to that place. you just need to drop your blood and you will enter it," he said, before sticking his fingers on the coin, not letting me have it, "it's quite dangerous, even for my lady. Why do you want to go?"

"I may be weak," I said while finally managing to grab the coin from him, "but I'm not a coward!" I let a single drop fall upon me, where I felt a traction force grabbing me, directing my body towards a certain direction.

I knew this was a sacred land, but the moment I dropped my blood on the coin, I felt this sinister feeling welling up around me, like it was welcoming a long lost friend.

Though I felt a growing threatening feeling, I didn't feel any fear. The moment that guard told me about this place and its nature, I was much relieved. Inside the world of sacred lands, I was invincible!

I might be very vulnerable in the normal game world, but my enemy seemed not to realize this point yet, or he knew but couldn't invade the game without causing much trouble.

"Boom!"

I just landed, heavily, on the ground, causing a deep pit there. the moment I touched the ground, I didn't delay and started scanning the place around me. I was in a place covered totally in ice, so thick that even the deep pit I just caused by my landing only revealed snow.

It was snowing, with very rapid blows of winds attacking me like needles every now and then. I was in the middle of an icy blizzard, and above me, at the centre of this icy place, I spotted multiple figures fighting each other, creating more havoc to this already messy place.

My sudden appearance suddenly caused all of them to stop what they were doing, as every single one of them just glanced towards me.

I managed to see Lady Nada, my master, and some other masters whose faces were still imprinted into my mind, and lastly my new enemy, Terick!

'So, you are trying to kill me, wolves' slaves!' I thought to myself, before I started to feel a strange resonance with something in this place.

"What are you doing here?"

Suddenly this shout came from above, while I noticed the evil smile over the face of Terick. The sides of my two masters weren't the one with the highest numbers here, so I shouted back:

"I came as reinforcements," I then took out my prison, summoning my demon.

"How did you reach here?"
