Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

In mere seconds, dozens of masters fell, and then I directed my sword to the front again, mercilessly sending wave after wave of attacks towards the balloons and the forte.

The sudden loss of that sneak attack made their plan fail! In the next couple of hours, my demon managed to finally kill everyone else, while I gathered all of their fallen medallions with a big smile over my face.

I killed fifty masters at least in this battle, and each master granted me dozens of medallions, which enriched my reserves finally by a great sum!

I didn't feel any anger or upset anymore, instead I felt gratitude for their generosity!

As for the front, I sent my demon towards the forte, where he took roughly an hour to reach there. The moment it reached the forte, the amount of attacks hitting me decreased by visible degree, while I started to hear many screams and sounds of fighting coming from down below.

To avoid interrupting my demon's wrathful actions, I started attacking the balloons first. The huge number of them was really a problem, as it took six hours from me to finally clear them all!

The moment the last attack ceased to come, I hurriedly glanced at the forte, where I saw a very brutal fighting was going on, with many masters specialized in defense sparring with my demon, limiting the degree of devastation he could do.

However, things were destined to change from this moment on! I joined the fight formally, as I let the shield rest on the side of the balloon, while taking out my other spear artifacts.

Then I was transformed into a loose cannon!

The sudden attacks coming from me disturbed their alignments, killing many in the process, even masters of defense as well. This sudden interruption of me gave my demon finally the chance to retaliate, venting all his depressed emotions and anger on everyone down there, killing anyone on sight!

Millions of players weren't a simple figure to kill so fast, however I totally ignored the players surrounding the forte, and started killing those inside.

Any master, any mystic art player must be stationed inside the forte, so my attacks were focused entirely over the whole forte!

I started to circle around the forte, while the huge number of defensive towers and defensive mechanisms there shattered under my brutal and constant streams of attacks!

It took the two of us four more hours to kill those inside the forte, then it took around six hours to kill those around it, with many already running away from here with great difficulty and much luck!

A whole day! This fight took roughly a whole day from the two of us to completely kill everyone and regain the ruined forte once more! As I stood on my balloon panting, I noticed the presence of my army coming from far. They already reached my place, and that was logic as it took me forever to win this fight.

'Send someone to clear the forte and the areas around it. we have killed a lot of masters and mystic art players here this time.'

I hurriedly sent these in the main chat, while I slid down the side of the balloon, resting my exhausted body from this very nervous battle.

It was really risky, and my enemies were really cunning. I needed to take more care in the future, as I was lucky this time I didn't summon my demon early on.

Just as I waited for them to come here and start cleaning the place, I noticed the weird behavior of my demon, as it pointed towards himself then to me, like he wanted to point to something in my hand.

I sighed, as I reluctantly threw the sword back to him while complaining:

"Never thought you would feel so attached to your sword, I was just borrowing it."

He caught the sword, then, strangely enough, he threw it back to me. I hurriedly caught it with a scare, as I didn't understand what he wanted to say!

Again, he pointed to himself, then to me, and this time I didn't want to waste my patience on him, so I hurriedly summoned back into the prison, before taking it out and delving my consciousness deeply into the prison.

"Master, there is something important I need to tell you about!"

The moment I entered the prison with my consciousness, he hurriedly said that. "What ?!" I asked with impatience, "just spill it out at once!" I added.

"When we were attacking the forte, I felt some calling to me coming from the heart of the forte."

I didn't understand his meaning, so I glanced at him with a questioning gaze. "They were trying to control me, and I think they will try to do the same at the remaining great nodes of the sacred land here."

"Great nodes?" I asked without understanding, "what do you mean by that?"

"Master, each five layers, there is a special layer, where there lies the heart. There, you will find special forte, like the one I was guarding here. 

Each forte has its own traits, and even after conquering it, there is a way to control the supreme phenomenon lying at the heart of these fortes, so be careful. You enemies already had an intention of summoning and controlling all these great beings of the ancient times!"

His words caused enough stir inside my heart! Really worthy of admiration these enemies of mine! every single time I thought I had already cornered them, I took a blow that made me realize how gravely mistaken I was!

Never underestimate your enemy until he is lying dead under your feet!

"Thanks for the reminder," I said, with much appreciation, before adding, "the next battles would be much more brutal and harder than this one, so try to rest here until you are needed out there."

He just nodded, and I exited my consciousness to find everyone surrounding me with worried looks.
