Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

I flew for a whole day, constantly being harassed by the flying demons everywhere. I wasn't in the mood right now to kill them all, as the delight of having millions of mystic art players was ruined at this moment.

As I spotted my army, I went down fast, while my top team moved at once to meet me. "Hurry up, they are in this state for more than a day already!"

I yelled at them while jumping off my balloon. Others hurriedly jumped over, as they were our top healer players.

Just as they used their skills, the pale faces of everyone kept getting better, but they didn't open their eyes for even one second!

I was quite nervous, feeling more blame to myself as I was the one to send them far in the open without proper protection.

I watched the healers work, and after a stressful long hour, they finally reopened their eyes, one by one, and finally got better.

I was finally relieved, heaving a long sigh of stress to be much relieved by their improvement!

��Are you ok?" I hurriedly asked Rog, and everyone around him. he just weakly nodded, as he said in a faint hoarse tone:

"What was that horrible monster? I felt like dying, in real soul and flesh!"

His words startled me, as I never thought that monster would affect our real soul as well! I suddenly recalled its name, soul suckers, and felt more terrified!

"It's the soul sucker monster, the leading monster of the grand attack on our game!"

My words startled everyone, as Rog wasn't a nameless player, plus he was already a mystic art user. "I tried to battle it with my mystic art. I felt I was dealing damage, but not quite enough," he said, and I nodded, as I confirmed his words by saying:

"That's right, the mystic arts can do damage to it. I killed it using my mystic arts."

"You killed that?!!" Rog was extremely shocked when he heard me stating that, "you are quite courageous to face it head on alone, I have to give you credits for that," he added, while he was feeling weaker.

"Just rest on my balloon with others, from now on, we will move on as a team, and our main priority is to catch up with those bastards."

He was supported back to the balloon with others to rest, while the healers continued to heal them. I sighed, as it seemed this war was taking a sharp turn towards a confrontation I didn't want to have currently, not when I wasn't prepared enough!

"Let's move out, we still have two layers ahead to reach fifteen."

The others went with gloomy faces, while Diana just kept herself beside me. "Is it this hard and scary?" she asked.

"Yes, without luck I would have been trapped like Rog and others. It was targeting me after all, using them as baits to lure me out. I'm sure if he wanted them all dead, then they would have long died."

"What a scary being," she sighed, while adding, "but we already know how to kill it, right?"

"It's right, but the issue was so calm when it approached me. I didn't realize his presence until I retreated at the right time, by luck I escaped its clutches."

"But you escaped and successfully killed it. don't pressure yourself, you did great," she tried to console me, but I was really in a very depressed mode.

Right now I have hard fortes to fight, many demons to kill, huge army of nobles to devastate, mysterious giant army like my demon, and finally these scary soul suckers.

That was already becoming mission impossible for me!

I sighed again, while my huge army of players kept killing demons non stop, I summoned mine from the start of the march, as I gave him one single order:

"Sniff the area, if that damned monster appeared again, hurriedly inform me."

He simply nodded, and kept moving around everywhere. I was in the lead, moving at the beginning of my army, so I could welcome any incoming attacks or traps and smash them all early on.

As we spent two days marching here, we finally reached the place where I killed that monster. there I just glanced, while heavily burdened by the recent memories of terror after facing such monsters.

Indeed I was lucky to escape, if I didn't have my demon at this point, I would have long been killed!

Sigh!

"Guild master, we have left behind many fortes, shouldn't we dispatch some to conquer them?" Aria came to me and asked. I was hesitating, as I couldn't ascertain my enemy traps, or be sure my players would fall dead because of me.

"Guild master, I have a word to say, an honest one," the wise Merwid said, as his face showed how serious he was.

I nodded to him, while all my top players were surrounding me right now, even Rog had left the balloon this morning and started to walk by my side.

"We aren't here to be guarded by anyone, even by you. Every single player here knows how dangerous it is when he volunteers to join us. We all knew we could lose our lives in the journey, but we all accepted that from the start, never complained, and we will never do it!

We don't mind facing death head on, but we do mind being protected; babysitting by you like that! afraid to even move and fight for fear of death!

Guild master, I know how deeply concerned you are right now about us, but this concern isn't healthy, it's quite the opposite. I deeply ask with much sincerity that you let us loose, continue our previous great momentum, and accept what would happen in the process.

After all this is war, and at any war, casualties are accepted."

His words were really deep, and suddenly I realized how overprotected I was towards them!
