Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

"No, these players were already scared, lost all hopes of living, and so the fight wasn't that exciting or challenging at all!"

Alfonzo complained, as it seemed he was upset that he didn't kill strong opponents yet.

"Don't worry, what lies in the front will be quite challenging," I simply replied, before looking to Aria as I asked:

"Have you selected players to absorb these medallions? We need to hasten our preparations, first adapt to the use of these arts before stepping into the next layer."

"Why should we do that here? we shouldn't waste anymore time, and keep pushing on the nobles!" Alfonzo said, with extreme impatience.

Aria and Rendy glanced at me, and I knew what they were thinking. I nodded, and left them explain to everyone how hard our next step would be.

They were extremely shocked, while I went to the side, starting to absorb my medallions, and Diana kept watching my back.

I didn't think anyone would try something foolish while I was absorbing these medallions, but to be sure, I also made my demon come and guard me.

After all, my enemies couldn't be trusted at all!

The absorption process went smoothly, as all I did was to drop my blood over the medallions, and they shone brightly, next they went deeply into my body and vanished there.

In my mind, I suddenly had the instructions and sudden amount of experience about how to use them. I closed my eyes for a while as I started to get familiar to them.

They weren't this hard to use, especially when they just built over my basic attack style of the mystic art I was using.

I opened my eyes, nodding in content, as these arts were really useful. I watched everyone around me, as three million players started to step into the world of mystic arts, causing the first massive common player uprising in the history of the empire.

I just smiled, while letting them all train, then I went towards my balloon.

"Guild master, where are you going?" Rody spotted me with Elyo and Gabri, as the three had already absorbed their medallions successfully. I knew that as their big smiles over their faces weren't a common occurrence.

"I'm going to test the next grounds, you keep everyone here training. Find demons and start training on them. after you finish experimenting, come after me."

They exchanged silent glances, but I didn't wait for their permission, jumped inside my balloon, resummoned my demon, before flying high in the sky.

They all watched me leave. I knew they were worried about me, but I was the only one who could do such a hard task already.

I went up ahead, and the whole land was only filled with demons here and here. The moment I reached the border, I noticed the presence of some hot lava on the ground there, extending to the end of my sight could reach.

I sighed, as I used my spear, normal one, and threw it high to rest upon my fingertips. I then used my skills to increase the number of spears behind me for ten seconds, before I crossed the border.

The moment I did, I was welcomed with a strong wave of heat that made me feel quite uncomfortable. I didn't stop here, as I moved forward using my balloon, but suddenly I smelled a fire eating leather, and I was shocked to find that even my balloon couldn't take this heat and started to burn at some places already.

I sighed, as I didn't plan on venturing on foot. This place wasn't a human survival zone, and so I took out my shield and activated it.

The moment it covered the whole balloon of mine, I heard a sizzling sound, as the outer surface of my shield was constantly battered by this extreme heat.

"Scary!"

I muttered like that while I headed towards the front. Just as I crossed a couple of miles, the whole world shook, and I started to see many monsters popping out of the lava ground.

My players couldn't fight inside this world, not like this. Balloons were also useless, so I was only able to hold as many players inside my balloon, and help take them with me here.

That was the only option, and this option really irritated me, as I would waste a very large time doing so!

"Let's see what my attacks would do against them."

I muttered, as I started to target the demons down below. I sent out my spears after using the ice mystic art, which was simply used by pinching my fingers around my spear. The next moment all my spears changed to be formed entirely with ice.

"Ice is the nemesis of fire, let's see how well these demons would do against them."

I hurriedly threw my spears, and in the next moment they appeared down there, killing some demons easily.

However the next moment I felt they were melting down, so I snapped my fingers, and the next moment I felt extreme burning heat over my fingers.

I endured the pain, and I didn't know how come I could endure attacking for so long here. I then tried the fire, and lightning one by one. I noticed that my fiery spears got smashed the moment they left the balloon.

If not for my hurry to resummon my main spear, I would have also lost it!

I then summoned more spears and used the lightning mystic art. I felt extreme delight to find out that the lightning aura helped in shielding and protecting my spears, besides I heard a loud sizzling sound coming from the contact with the heat and fire down below.

"So, this isn't normal lava after all, but a cursed one as well!"

This sizzling and the obvious superiority of lightning here made me wonder about the nature of these lava. Naturally, lightning had no advantage over fire, but lightning had supreme advantage against darkness.
