The five human players were Death Associates members who used to be on the team with Jack when he infiltrated that guild using his disguise. Aside from Warpath, the others were Dasher, Bangstick, Suckit, and Flowerrain.

“What happened?” The Man asked once he arrived. Bowler was still on his way over.

Jet, who arrived with Jack, answered him, “This guy just committed suicide by pulling a sword on Jack.” Jet was pointing at Vincenzu’s lifeless body on the ground.

Everyone present was still processing what had just happened. Everything happened so fast. Two people out of the groups were rattled more than others.

One was a female dwarf from the Casa Oggetto group. Her name was Valentina Giovanni. She was Vincenzu’s older sister. She was a level 60 Elementalist.

Although she thought her brother was an idiot, Vincenzu was still at full HP when he received Jack’s slash. Aside from the slash being very fast, Valentina was convinced it was just a standard attack. It was impossible to kill a full HP level 42 player using a standard attack with only one hit.

Although she couldn’t inspect Jack’s level, she didn’t believe Jack’s level was so high that he could perform the one-hit-kill using a standard attack.

The other person who was rattled was Warpath. He was rattled for a different reason than Valentina. He knew for sure that Jack’s standard attack could kill Vincenzu because he had sensed the intense mana accompanying Jack’s slash.

He originally didn’t know about mana sense. But he was a talented martial artist and this world’s environment provided an ideal place to learn mana sense. So, he developed this ability after diligent training.

His drive to train so hard was to defeat the very person in front of him. He just never imagined that after he thought he had narrowed the gap with his breakthrough in martial arts, the person he was chasing after turned out to have flown even higher.

The other Casa Oggetto players finally awoke from their reveries. Their weapons immediately appeared in their hands.

“What happened?” Bowler finally arrived.

“We are about to witness a mass suicide,” Jet answered.

“Halt!” Valentina’s firm voice stopped the Casa Oggetto players from performing their mass suicide.

“Oh, for f*ck’s sake!” Jet, The Man, and Bowler cursed. The b*tch had interrupted their chance of watching a good show.

Valentina came forward and offered Jack an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry. My brother has always been an impulsive person. I hope Your Majesty forgives him and let him go with this one kill.”

“Your Majesty?” One of the players next to Valentina asked.

That player was replied to with a slap on the face by Valentina. “Can’t you see his outfit, you moron?!” Valentina scolded.

The news about Themisphere’s outworlder king visiting Balgadur had made its round. Ignorant players such as his brother and his underlings might not be aware of this news, but Valentina was not among those ignorant players. He never expected though, that the player who had killed his brother in the past was the player who had become the king of Themisphere.

Even if they were strong enough to defeat Jack here, they would still be in trouble if the president of this country found out that they had harassed his royal guest. Hence, her decision to take a step back.

“Just tell your brother to not try any foolish stunt like what he did just now,” Jack said. He was honestly disappointed when this woman called off the attacks, but he was also not the type of person to massacre someone after that person acted courteously to him. He still needed a reason to whack people senseless.

“I will. We will take our leave now,” Valentina said. She made a gesture telling her guild members to leave.

“One more thing,” Jack called her. “These humans are my friends. If I found out you bully them again, you will get into trouble with me. Do I make myself clear?”

Valentina glanced at Warpath’s group before answering, “Certainly, Your Majesty. Your friends have nothing to worry about from us.”

After she left, Warpath asked Jack, “Who is your friend?”

“Certainly not you. I am referring to the four behind you,” Jack replied, which irked Warpath greatly.

“You are Unrivaled? I still can’t believe it when I was told that our past team leader was the Demon of Crestfall Plains,” Dasher asked.

“It is even harder to believe that you are now the king of Themisphere,” Bangstick added.

“Yeah, we truly suck it when he heard the news,” Suckit said.

“Thank you for chasing those awful people away,” Flowerrain said.

“It’s no trouble,” Jack replied to Flowerrain. “Now, tell me. Why are you not in the Death Associates anymore?”

“That’s because we have quit,” Flowerrain answered.

“Why?” Jack asked again.𝐧𝗈𝐕𝑒𝓁𝒩𝖊xt.𝗰𝑶𝗆

The four looked at one another before saying, “We don’t like how things are going in the guild. When we become hunted in Themisphere and the guild transferred the headquarters to Aurebor, brother Warpath decided to leave. We decided to follow him.”

Jack looked at Warpath, who responded after Jack’s glance, “I have contributed enough for that guild. I don’t see the obligation to remain there. I no longer need them to improve.”

“Well then, how about joining Everlasting Heavenly Legends?” Jack threw the offer out.

“We can?” Dasher asked.

“You’ll have us?” Flowerrain also asked.

“No!” Warpath’s voice cut their excitement.

Everyone turned to him. Seeing the attention, Warpath said, “You four are free to join if that’s what you want. I never asked you, people, to follow me. As for me, I won’t join. My target is to beat him, I won’t be able to do it if I join his guild and become his shadow!”

“Dude, if you truly want to beat me, then joining my guild is your best chance to do it,” Jack said.

“Hmph! There is no need for you to tempt me with your guild,” Warpath uttered.

“Who wants to tempt you? I am simply stating the truth. Since you are a martial artist, you should have heard the name Domon Fei, haven’t you?”

Warpath did know the name. The legend who reigned undefeated for ten years in the world championship. He also knew that this legend was in Jack’s guild.

“Our members received martial arts teaching from Domon. Worthy members had the chance to even get direct tutoring. If you want to defeat me, he is your best chance.”

Warpath was silent. Everyone was waiting for his answer.

He suddenly brandished his twin swords. “Show me how big the gap between us is,” he said.

There was a brief pause before Jack nodded. He took out two swords from his inventory. None of them was his Storm breaker. The two swords he held were common grades. He also unequipped all his regal outfits and wore common-grade armor.

Warpath frowned upon seeing Jack’s act.

“I have three classes. It’s only fair if I use weaker equipment,” Jack said. “We fight using only martial arts, no game skills.”
