Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

The spear exploded, filling the whole place with lightning, sweeping everything in its path. The lightning came as a surprise none expected, and they didn't have time to run, call for help, try their luck in defending, or even scream.

They all died, in just a few moments they were all killed, except for the few who were so lucky to appear inside the small areas covered by monsters and demons.

However the panic they saw and the nightmare they jumped into didn't give them any help; they stood there motionless, stupefied in place, not able to move until the lightning came sweeping the monsters and demons, killing them as well.

I checked my contribution points, and got an instant surprise from what I saw! Previously I sacrificed a billion points for the system to bring the players here, and now I gained in this mere minute over seven billion points! That was awesome!!

"That makes me wonder about the rest of you, little beggars, running in the layer before and in front of me," I evilly grinned as I noticed my spear breaking through the barrier, heading towards the next layer.

And another battle erupted there!

In this world, the whole layer was covered by a lightning carpet, so clean that even a single mountain wasn't there. I glanced around for a moment before saying:

"Let's go towards the next layer then."

"There is a distance needing a couple of days to be crossed, we won't make it," the demoness said, and her words were true.

"I know," I simply replied, without adding anything. I knew the time of the apocalypse was upon us, and there wasn't enough time for me to go and punish all those traitors right now, or kill all the newcomers as well.

However staying here in this dead silent, grave-like place waiting for the apocalypse wasn't a good omen, not for me at least.

I would prefer for the apocalypse to descend while I was heading straight towards the next layer, or better to reach the layer and be immersed in killing others.

That would be the perfect end for me, the end I would aspire to have!

And so I marched with my balloon in the air, alone, unhindered and unrivaled, like a queen of the dead. Just as I started walking, Aria sent a message to me:

'There are much more players appearing out of nowhere, but no more monsters or demons.'

I sighed, as I knew she was referring to those newcomers. I didn't want to lie to her, and there was no point in hiding things at this stage, so I started telling her what happened here and the origin of those players.

'Sh*t! but you know this is a good thing, as your spear seems to come to our aid, making all the monsters and demons restless. They are now trying to escape away from the spear, and the spear is hunting them down. The players are now openly wide, without any proper defense or organization. I will give the order to attack.'

'Go ahead, you have my blessing,' I instantly replied before closing the chat and thinking about her words. my spear was running after the monsters and demons like they were sweet ladies; that jerk!

It should attack players not dumb monsters and demons! I thought about calling it back and reprimand it, but I hesitated; after all it was driving the monsters and demons away from the players, exposing them to the wrath of Aria and others.

"Sigh, such an epic finale and I'm here, flying in the middle of nowhere. Even my dumb spear is attacking there, sigh!"

I muttered, while regretting not being with Aria and others, falling like thunder, with a spear with an actual thunder, and descending over their heads to chop theirs and claim their lives as justice redemption.

That would be a good finale for me! I sighed, as I still had slightly over a day before crossing the border, and a couple of hours more until reaching the place of the battle.

"I swear I won't leave this world before reaching there and killing to my heart content," I gritted my teeth as I had this determination clearly announced to the whole world!

I didn't care about the apocalypse anymore; I wanted to leave this world in a suitable place, with my spear being filled to the brim with the blood of my enemies, and their bodies scattered right and left with no end along my path!

One day! All I asked for and deeply prayed much for it was only this day! I didn't want to fall here, fall behind, fall lower than others! I didn't deserve that!

And destiny heard my calling! I passed the next day in extreme stress, but when I glanced up ahead and saw the presence of the barrier, I smiled, widely smiled, really happily and excitedly smiled, and held my own self from screaming out loud.

Not yet, not here, not now!

I pushed my balloon forward, while my two demons were sharpening their senses, staying alert, as they both knew we didn't have much time.

They would use the deadliest and the widest ranged attacks they two had!

That was, I ordered them to prepare, and now it was time to show me their true worth!

The moment I passed through the barrier was like the moment I got to take my breaths again; I was being revived by this barrier! I glanced at the front, seeing the ocean of players trying to press forward, away from the border of the layer, and sounds of mighty explosions rang everywhere in the horizon, indicating the brutal battle going on right now.

"Snap!"

At this moment, I didn't need my spear to keep crushing the dull monsters and demons. One day of complete chase was enough to make them retreat far, far beyond the army of my players.

And now, it was me to act like a real monster!

In less than a minute, my spear came to me, humming once as it was content with the meal it got. "Satisfied with your happy meal?" I sarcastically asked, before glancing over the distant players as I added, "be ready to show me your strongest attacks ever!"

The spear hummed again, expressing its approval. It seemed it sensed the approach of the apocalypse upon us at any moment, so it decided to make this battle the last battle, a battle to be remembered for forever.

After all, in the post-apocalyptic world, this spear side by side with all other artifacts, would all turn into useless scraps of metal.

My spear was ready, on the side of all the artifacts of the demons under my command, and me leading the charge in my balloon, moving alone towards hundreds of thousands, if not millions of players on the ground.

However, this simple balloon was just about to start a massacre that would tear those traitors apart and kill most of them!

I prayed if Respon and Britty weren't killed in the previous layer, to be here and killed under my hands!

"Kill them all!"

It was the shout I kept hidden inside me all this time, so it came out thundering in the entire layer, attracting everyone's attention.

And in the next moment…

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

The sounds of the echo didn't come from the world, but from my players in the distant horizon, cheering and shouting my own motto, announcing to all, announcing to me about their existence and their allegiance and loyalty to me.

"Kill them all!"

This time it was the order for the gates of hell to be unleashed upon all of the enemies down on the ground. The next moment my spear thundered, my two demons roared with their strongest artifacts, while I kept my balloon heading forward and filled it with pearls to replenish the regular consumption of my spear.

"Snap!"

I summoned it back, before throwing it towards another direction, then snapped again, and sent it towards a third direction, then a fourth, and so on.

I kept throwing, eating, snapping, and then throwing again, killing every single player my eyes fell upon.

My demon used his treasured sword, and my demoness used her treasured whip; both caused wide range attacks, killing many players.

"Hahaha, use all the artifacts you have, use all the deadliest attacks you can muster; after this day no more artifacts and no more strong attacks will be available."

I shouted out loud like a maniac, while trying to race against the cruel merciless time to kill them all!

However I wasn't allowed enough time to do that!

"Ding Dong!"

"Ding Dong!"

"Ding Dong!"

Suddenly this loud annoying tone came from everywhere, and in the next second; even the wind stopped moving! Everything, literally everything in this world stopped moving in front of my eyes, while the sound continued to go stronger and stronger, in a regular rhythm, making even my heartbeats following its rhythm.

"Ding Dong!"

"Ding Dong!"

"Ding Dong!"
