Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

I stood my ground, not moving an inch forward, as now I knew for sure that place wasn't an area I should go easily, not now, it was a trap. All the players who would respond to that bounty quest wouldn't be sent here until I enter that land, which I was sure to have something to interfere with my witch's artifacts, and other artifacts perhaps.

So, I had to change my approach, and thus I started to amass the demons inside my prison, without any reservation. After an hour, and amidst a huge battle going on between my artifacts, my players behind me, and those demons, Lady Nada sent another batch of gold, and a single message from one of her guards.

"Our esteemed hero, our Lady sends her greeting to you, and tells you it's done."

"Good, deliver my thanks to her then," I said, while that guard retreated without killing any single demon, or interfering, directly in the battle. He was bound by the laws of this challenge, and I knew that, so I didn't think much about his rapid withdrawal.

Now, as everything was set in place, I could start advancing again.

"Move forward, Diana led the others to form a defensive line here," I said, ordering my pet and Diana. The giant moved, while I started absorbing the ocean of demons like crazy, without thinking much about the cost.

In the next hour, I managed to reach the land, which was very difficult. I had to admit, this enemy of mine was really cunning. Though his entire plan depended on me falling in this trap, he made it very hard for me to reach here, like it wasn't a trap, but the heart of this attack, the most sacred place.

'Interesting foe indeed,' I muttered, as I knew the one who made the witch fall from before wasn't just a nobody, or a simple person at all!

The moment I stepped onto that island with my demon, I felt a suppressive force hitting me so hard, that I was about to fall from the shoulders of my demon. My demon, itself, got forced to kneel, but it rapidly stabilized itself, standing up again.

'As I thought, it isn't this easy trap, right?' I muttered, as this was all expected. I knew my artifacts would be affected much by this, but for the good news they weren't all negated here.

The range of absorption, though, was limited to one kilometer only around me, and that was also the range of attack for the sword as well. I didn't stop absorption even for a moment, and my sword never ceased to slash out.

'Come, show me your hidden trap, flighty opponent,' I muttered as my demon kept moving forward. The land was like a piece of random land in the Fortland sacred land I went to before. There were some mountain peaks in the distance, from where I felt the spuression force was generated, and also that stream of demons came from.

'So, you want me to go there, then?' I thought to myself, while I kept dealing with all the demons which dared to enter my area of effect of my artifacts.

For one kilometer radius around me, there was no single demon there. it wasn't that big of a distance, but it was enough. I kept moving forward, as my demon kept stepping slowly, yet steadily, adapting itself to the growing suppression force.

After going through half distance, I muttered to my demon:

"Fake your inability to move."

My demon didn't respond, but after a few minutes it stopped, as it couldn't move forward anymore. The suppression force was already heavy, but it wasn't enough to make it totally stop.

I knew that, but my enemy didn't!

Just after my demon stopped, a massive roar happened from the far mountains, as they were exploding one by one. I watched that scene with no interest, as I knew what was going to happen.

Amidst all that, I never stopped clearing that one kilometer around me from any demon, no matter what!

In a few minutes, the mountains disappeared, but the force didn't. on the horizon, I could see a large cloud of dust, caused by the massive number of players coming towards me.

���Her it starts, the real war,' I silently muttered, as I knew where this was heading to, and I didn't doubt the end result of it.

As the players got near me, they started to use their distanced skills, attacking me from far. The demon then put me down, on the ground, as it took all the toll of these attacks, feeling hardly anything.

As for me, I waited, patiently, not showing any anxiety at all. I kept absorbing demons, and now I added players to the mix as well, while I waited for my trick to be in play.

My enemy had already used his cunning head to formulate this massive trap, at the same time I used my little brain to formulate mine!

Just as the battle went on for half an hour, a massive explosion occurred, then a second, a third, and finally a fourth. With these explosions, the suppressive force on me got negated, and I finally was free from this suppression.

"Finally, just in time!" I muttered, with great spirit, as my plan succeeded and it was now my time for my counter attack!

"Take all these artifacts, and devastate everything in your way!" I yelled as I gave the demon his artifacts, even the sword, while I kept the spear and the shield to myself. It wasn't time to hold back anymore, as this was my time for the counter.

'Absorb all demons and players here, and release all the stored inside you out, let's make these land drenched in hot blood!' I mercilessly gave the order for my prison to release everything, at this moment, a group of very strong players started to wreak havoc amongst everything here, demons or players!

"Nice strategy my disciple!"

My master yelled, while laughing from the depth of his heart, while his hand held his own huge spear, devastating anything that stood in his way. Beside him were the masters on his side, his friends, and Lady Nada, with her own bodyguards, killing without pause everything around them.

I sent Diana to Lady Nada, asking her to send a message to my master, to muster all his forces, and head to the sacred lands and take part in this bounty quest. Through this way, they all could participate in this battle, legally, without breaking any game laws, and at the same time they would destroy anything the enemy had planted in this land, before joining me in killing their way to me.

The tables were shifted, simply like that, as a plan had conquered another plan, and the whole war was won simpl by the wits of mine!

As for me, the mind of all this, I was only feeling content by my performance in this battle. My enemy thought he was smarter than me, but with luck and my mind I managed to turn the scheme upside down on him, making him lose all what he planned for.

And this wasn't the end, I intended to make him lose even more!

The huge number of players and demons released suddenly formed a mighty wave that struck all the demons and players here, making them all dead, and they moved, in an unstoppable wave, towards the distance, and I was with them.

I never stopped using my artifacts for a moment, but I didn't need my prison anymore. This battle was already won when my masters came into here and managed to formally join the battle. Now, all I needed to do was to find the source of this sorcery, the place where all these demons and players came from, and kill them all!

The place was easy to spot, when my own army started to corner the incoming enemies. the place was in the heart of the mountains, or what once were mountains. In there, I could see a huge circle, flashing with thunder and lightning, as it was spitting out an endless stream of demons and players.

"It's time to end things here," I muttered, as I went ahead with my demon on my side, while killing anyone on my way with my spear. Bolts of lightning started to hit everyone standing between me and my target, while my masters flew above me, forming a mighty defensive and offensive formation, aiding me on my way to there.

"You need to hit it with your own spear," my master shouted, confirming my earlier guess.

"I know," I chuckled, as I tried to get near that area, but the dense numbers of demons and players summoned each second made it hard to achieve.

If I couldn't do it by my spear, then I would do it with my sword!

"Give me the sword," I said, as I put away my shield. The giant handed me the sword, and the moment I took it, I knew this was the end for this whole trap.

"Go to hell, damn wolves!"

I shouted out, with all my anger swelled up inside me, before I launched attacks towards that circle, one with the sword, and one with the spear.
