The Earth After Rebirth

Kiro didn\'t think this would cause a ruckus, that was what guild wars were all about. If you lose it wasn\'t just a loss, you stood to lose more, your base.

He was surprised that people still complained about how the system keeps information hidden until the very last minute.

This made him look around with contempt. How could they not have known that the consequences would be much dire than losing levels.

Next up was Isla\'s guild. They were the first guild amongst the ones that already went up that chose an all out war.

\'How daring!\' Kiro complimented in admiration.

Kiro noticed the flute he\'d given her, hanging around her waist. She looked meaner and serious than he\'d ever seen her. She was clearly taking this more seriously than Kiro had initially given her credit for.

"Your girlfriend sure looks fiesty!" Hiro whispered to him.

He gave him a deadly stare which made him retreat with his hands in the air. As if to show him that he was unarmed and he needn\'t attack him.

When he turned, the battle had already begun. Dragon Tail was challenged by Dragon Slayers, a guild that was in the top 5. That was probably why Isla seemed to be in a sour mood.

Kiro had missed it due to Hiro\'s banter but Isla had already killed two with her dangerous arrow. There were no mountains she could use as her hiding spot, so instead there were countless mana spots in the air.

She had created mana steps, she was watching the battle from above, like a goddess of some kind. She occasionally shot her arrows, while her guildmates were attacking their enemies vigorously.

"Look at her go!" This was the first battle that had him excited. So he blurted out what he said, he didn\'t care about the looks that earned him either.

He looked away from Isla for but a second, but she\'d already grown stronger than he\'d ever imagined. Saanvi wasn\'t slacking either. Her agility was too good for a priest, they unfortunately didn\'t have someone like Ishaan on their team, so the healers learned to be active on the battlefield.

They were moving fast enough so as to avoid most of the attacks by their enemy.

"You little b*tch, come down here and fight me properly, like a man!" Dragon Slayer guild leader complained.

Kiro almost flew where he stood, if Hiro hadn\'t been there. This could\'ve been their shameful moment, as they would getting banned from participating for 2 months.

He didn\'t know either why it got to him, but his blood was boiling. He was glad nonetheless that his friend stopped him, it would\'ve been the most embarrassing way to be kicked out of the wars.

Isla didn\'t seem phased though, she simply smirked at his immature taunts. She knew better than to mindlessly attack at close quarters as an archer.

"Childish and stupid!" She bellowed.

Her words were followed by a mana arrow, instead of dodging and getting out of the way. The guild leader wanted to prove a point that he was stronger than her. He didn\'t know that it would explode the moment it touched his blade.

The impact was great as he was almost blown out of the fighting stage. He received a lot of damage. He got up, looking at Isla with unbelievable hatred.

"You b*tch, you better pray I never run—"

He hadn\'t finished his sentence, two more arrows were already on the way to him. He knew better than to block them this time, he dove to the other side and the most amazing thing happened.

The arrows didn\'t dissipate after missing their target, they came back around to taunt him. He was now running around the battlefield, trying to avoid them at all costs. He knew if he was hit, even once by it, he wouldn\'t be able to keep those at on the ground with him at bay.

He quickly grabbed on of his teammates and held him in front of him, making him a meat shield. The crowd went crazy with his strategy. Some admired his survival instincts, some called him a coward for using his teammates that way.

"He truly has no business calling himself a leader!"

"What a shameless leader. I even applied for his guild once, I\'m glad I got rejected."

"I\'m cancelling my application."

Though others didn\'t really care that he was doing this. They wanted to join his guild even more now. They could understand why he decided to do what he did, they would\'ve done the same if someone was weaker and they were the only chance for their guild to move up.

The arrows reached them, while the member had a look of surprise on his face. He hadn\'t, in his wildest dream imagined his leader would\'ve done something like that. It made him angry, but he was weaker, so he couldn\'t free himself from his grasp.

The explosion was bigger since it was two arrows. The leader smiled when he realised that, he didn\'t receive a single damage. While he was running around, Dragon Tail wasn\'t slacking. They were cleaning up most of his guild members, Isla up there could pick them off one by one easily.

Von had his sword, it was bloody, so was he. He was completely merciless, their leader stressed the importance of winning this first war, so none from Dragon Tail came to play.

"I guess we have competition here, I didn\'t know there was another strong guild." Jorge said, taking notes, incase they had to fight them.

"You were naive to think otherwise. They\'re number two in the rankings after all." Kiro scolded him.

Two of Dragon Tail were guardians after all. Their strength wasn\'t anything to look down on.

"Isla has gotten too strong, don\'t you think?" Nikolai was utterly impressed.

He wasn\'t lying. The last time they\'d fought together was against the harbinger and then, she wasn\'t this strong. She must\'ve spent the entire school holidays trying to get stronger. It was damn impressive.

Felix watched with the goal in mind, he wanted to fight Isla more than he wanted to fight Kiro. He didn\'t think she was stronger than him, but he did assess that their strengths weren\'t too far apart.

This was the first exciting battle the crowd has seen so far. None of them could shut up. Everything was happening at once, they didn\'t even know where their focus should be.

Von was soon getting a new nickname \'The destroyer.\'

His new fans were chanting his name as he combed through enemies like they were level 1 monsters.

"What the hell is Isla feeding them?" Hiro asked.

It wasn\'t anything special, but she made them go on dungeon runs at every opportunity they got, which was almost everyday during the holidays. They went until they couldn\'t anymore, which even then they were forced to.

Isla was a scary leader. She told them if they lose the wars, they\'d go on even more dangerous dungeons every single day for hours on end. So this motivated them, none wanted to be stuck in-game and not live their lives.

It was an amusing sight as not even the priests were getting killed by Dragon Slayer members. It was an embarrassing moment.

Just then, the leader of the other group popped something into his mouth. He could see that they were losing, so he ate something that he was told it would ensure him strength.

It didn\'t take a second after he\'d eaten it, his muscles started to bulge. Black veins appeared on his skin, they were everywhere. He looked like some type of monster. He had a stupid grin on his face.

Isla could sense the danger that was growing in front of them, she sent three mana arrows his way. He didn\'t even attempt to dodge, he already knew they\'d follow him, he just stood there. The arrows hit their target perfectly, an explosion sounded. Cheers from the crowd erupted, but they soon quietened when they saw it.

The arrows hadn\'t left a single scratch on him. He laughed maniacally.

"Oh, he was right, this makes me a god."

He disappeared where he stood and appeared in front of Von, the kick he gave him caused him to fly to the edge of the battlefield.

The tide was turning or so it seemed. Dragon Tail was being destroyed by a single man. They even lost a priest.

Isla slowly descended her mana steps. The flute on hand, for the first time since she got it, she started using her seducer subclass. She played music with the flute, she\'d practised this a lot. So she knew what she was doing.
