Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Suddenly many roars erupted, coming from two directions. I hurried to stand on his shoulder while holding on his head, looking right and left. "Damn! They are quite fast!" I cursed out loud as the tree monsters had already reached the ground and were now heading straight towards me.

Yet they weren't the only ones that were after me; as there were new monsters coming from the depth of the valley. The monsters living there seemed to notice my pearl aura and heard my demon's screams, so they came fast.

"Sigh, things got this complicated just at the right time!" I said while glancing down at my stupefied demon. He was in the middle of his evolution process, so he wasn't ready yet to receive my orders.

He was standing still, not moving an inch. I was sure he was now in his own world, not feeling anything related to this place. "You have no use to me now," I hurriedly jumped off his shoulders while adding, "Go inside."

The next moment he vanished, and then I glanced at the two enemies coming in great numbers and potent force. And an idea suddenly popped up my head!

"Don't blame me then to be this ruthless," I evilly smirked while taking out one pearl again. This time I put it in the tip of my spear while raising it high so everyone could see it clearly.

The aura seeping from it went everywhere, and I was sure every single monster here had felt it. Just as I was about to shout out, I noticed something strange.

"Oho, even my spear can get benefits from it!" I remarked as part of the wisps of energy swirled around the tip of my spear. "That's quite interesting. I wonder if I can have all my previous artifacts back, Mr. greedy system!!"

"…"

The system acted as if it was dead. I knew it was quite frustrated of my actions, yet I didn't plan to stop. "This is the divine seed you all are looking for. Come and get it before others seize it!" then I threw it high in the air before hurriedly retreating to the side of the cliff, aiming to climb it.

The two large packs of monsters weren't that interested in me anymore; as the temptation of this pearl was irresistible to them. So, my retreat plan worked, and my evil plot succeeded.

Just before I reached the cliff, I heard the roars of the monsters that near to me like they were standing behind my back! I pushed my ached body to jump the little distance off the cliff before landing on it.

Then I started to climb!

I had to admit, descending seemed quite risky and hard, yet right now I knew this was because of my foolish jump at the start. If I just let my body slide down it, I wouldn't have experienced such a violent fall.

Yet I knew if I did that then these monsters would have caught up with me! Climbing up the cliff wasn't that hard, despite each muscle in my body wasn't acting normal.

Just as I ascended for enough distance, I turned to sit on my back while panting. I tried to catch my breath while realizing how much sweat I emitted during this small distance run.

It was so small, yet a giant leap for me, sigh!

"You are really dumb!" I smirked while watching in much content the ongoing brutal fight down the ground. The two monster armies hit each other and started fighting hard from the start.

The new monsters were strangely like a miniature version of my demon. I finally had the time to scrutinize them. "Oh shit, aren't they the monsters created from the dead son of his?" I recognized those giant demons which I fought against for weeks before.

They were a smaller version of my demon, yet they were huge in their own terms. They attacked the tree monsters, but they suffered heavy losses at first.

Later they balanced the fight by adding more demons from the depth of the valley. I sat there, doing nothing except moving my consciousness into the prison to check upon my two demons.

The demon was still standing still with the blue smoke covering him, while the demoness was still having the same dumb look over her face.

"Ding Dong! He won't recover via this way."

"Oh, you are alive? Thought you died!"

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

I smirked as I knew how pissed this stingy system was. "Hehehe, yeah you are alive," I then opened my eyes to observe the fight with clear conscience. "Even if he gained a little boost to strength, I wouldn't regret it."

"Ding Dong! How stubborn you are! These pearls aren't just a mere treasures, they are a disaster messenger. Look at this fight and hard situation you are at, do you think this won't repeat?"

I glanced over the fight where the demons returned the losses back double to the tree monsters. "I will make sure to be far stronger than anyone so no one can ever harm me again!" this vow wasn't to the system, but to myself!

This situation, this danger, this fear, this helplessness… I promised myself not to experience them ever again!

"Ding Dong! The pearl's aura is mighty and there are even creatures dwelling in this world who can smell it from worlds apart!"

"Don't trick me, as those monsters of ancient times are now sealed guarding special zones."

"…"

I sighed, dealing with such a tricky and dishonest system was really stressful. "I think these demons are even weaker than the way they were before," I muttered after quite some time.

The demons weren't that strong and frightening like before, while they only had much numbers than the tree monsters. I noticed a broad shoulders and giant body demon acting like their leader out there.

"When he is killed, it will be my time to shine," I said as I didn't plan to leave the tree monsters gain my pearl.
