Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

The despicable system didn't let my expectations down. At the sixth fort and as we just got near it in the same manner as before, the front scouts of my elite vampires returned with the leadership of the two princes of them.

"My lady," Derky said with a dark face, "there is something up front."

"There is a strange dark cloud that blocks our way to the fort," Trefor said before adding, "it stretched out for miles everywhere. I even believe the fort lies in its heart."

"A black cloud?" I asked while glancing from the top of my giant shoulders. "I can't see anything."

"This one is quite tricky my lady," Trefor said.

"It camouflaged itself with the surrounding nature," Derky said before adding, "it only shows its true color when someone touched it and activated its defensive mechanism."

"defensive mechanism?" I asked in doubt, "what is it?"

"A black lightning," Trefor sighed, "we lost many good vampires thanks to this brutal attack."

"Take me there," I hurriedly said while jumping over Trefor's back. "Lead everyone to the front," I ordered, "keep killing those flies."

"Don't worry," the giant said while I moved to the front while evading most of the enemies defending the fort.

"Is this the place?" we finally managed to reach a place where it looked no different than anything around.

"It's just half a mile ahead," Trefor said before adding, "I believe you can spot everything perfectly well from here."

"Alright," I turned to Derky, "send some upfront. Let me see this strange cloud."

We were accompanied by a large number of vampires just to ensure my safety. I didn't think anyone would be able to harm me, especially with my beloved mecha that I was storing in my inventory just in case.

In a few minutes a group of five vampires went up ahead. They were already aware of the danger waiting for them, yet they moved without fear.

I watched closely while they passed the mark of half a mile. Just as they did, they all stopped all of sudden and a new change appeared.

It looked as if they hit a grand wall that was so sturdy to stop them all in tracks. Once they hit that spot a gigantic mushroom shaped cloud started to take shape in front of me.

"A black cloud indeed," it was pitch black, and its shape, size, and color made me have a very bad omen.

"Rumble!"

Just as the vampires who hit it tried to retreat, long and thick tongues of black lightning started to take form all of sudden from the cloud. The lightning coalesced to form gigantic pillars of lightning that swiftly descended upon them and burnt them all.

All but one!

"This…" I watched as that one seemed quite terrified to even move with his mates. Yet when the lightning erupted he got some courage and moved, to be hit instantly with the lightning.

"A deadly courage," I sighed, "make sure your sacrifices won't be in vain," I softly muttered while glancing deeply at this gigantic dark cloud.

As the five of my vampires were killed, the cloud started to fade away, returning to its deceiving shape, blending with everything around like it wasn't even there.

"Good one," I smirked, "good move damned system!"

"Ding Dong! It's not my fault!"

"Liar!"

"Ding Dong! I'm telling the truth, I don't have anything to do with this trial."

"Liar," I said before suddenly laughing, "but y'know what? Keep throwing all the rocks you have inside your dirty mind of yours, and I'll always crush them all."

I laughed before I turned to Derky, "go back and send me all the elites of our army," I paused before adding in a very cold tone, "make them all have mechas, and send my giant as well."

"But…"

"Just do it," I ordered, "I believe what's this all about."

Derky glanced weirdly at me before hesitantly moved to the distance retreating with a group of vampires accompanying him.

"My lady, this is a very risky path," Trefor tried to invoke some reason with good will in me, "how can we defend against the lightning? As you saw, none managed to live after being hit by it."

"We don't need to," I shook my head before adding, "I have already a plan."

"…"

"Don't worry," I laughed, "I don't plan on dying young."

He seemed not to get my joke and I didn't care. I just waited for the elites of my army to come, and to be honest… It was such a spectacular scene.

"My lady," Dredly said while getting to me on the ground while fighting off all the demons all around, "your orders," he said in a very prideful tone.

Since this demon and his giant army got hold over mechas they turned into true unstoppable monsters. Alone they could handle the front without any issue mentioned, and being the first to arrive here wasn't a mere conicedent.

"Wait for others," I said and my wait didn't last for long. As the giant was there, nothing managed to cause a real threat to my elites.

"Omad," I shouted before adding, "send a group of ten towards the front."

"But…" it seemed Dredly had already informed them all of everything.

"Great that you all know what we are facing," I said before smirking, "this will make our advance much easier. Now select the ten valiant ones and bring them to me."

He didn't hesitate to execute the order. In front of me all of my army leaders were there alongside with their top subordinates and elites. The number of such armies crossed ten thousand and that was something I felt much proud of.

"Just with this army I can crush any force whatsoever," I muttered while my eyes were hanging over the distance.

"They are ready," Omad came with a group of strong looking Tesakos. "Listen up," I pointed towards the distance as I added, "upfront lies a deadly trap our dirty hidden enemy prepared for us. I want you all to move, once they don't stop and keep moving."

"And?" one of them asked.

"Don't worry," I smiled confidently, "I'll bring everyone just minutes after your entrance there."

They nodded while their faces told me they didn't trust my words; however I did.

"Sit comfortably and watch closely you bastard," I sneered, "I'll give you a hell of a scene to watch and enjoy… I promise."

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

"Ding Dong me as much as you want, I will go up there and crush your little trick and leave you in bitterness and sorrow behind," I wildly laughed and everyone just stole glances at me like I was already crazy.
