Adrian returned to the mortal realm and checked the status of the Cube of Paradox. It was still not responding to his queries which means that it will take some time. He is thankful that the functions are still the same, but he cannot use Paradox' calculations in the guild war that will happen.
He is also debating whether he should ingest the Asmodian Blood that was given to him immediately seeing that he still has two days left. Since he already lost his ego weapon's calculating abilities, Adrian knew that he needs to have a variable that the enemy does not know of. As the enemy also has tactics that Adrian does not know of as well, he must even out the playing field as much as possible.
Since ingesting the blood of a past all powerful being would create such a stir, he decided to use the guild house that they have. It was a separate space where one could do anything, and nothing would leak since it is a pocket dimension. The Tree of Life and Death would also be there protecting him should anything happen.
His friends would arrive the day before the guild war as they would need to talk about strategies and that sort of stuff. He proceeded to go inside the guild house with a smile and confident attitude that they will win. He is not just confident on his own strength but also the strength of his friends.
"I wonder how they got stronger?" Adrian thought as he opened the rift to the pocket dimension of their guild house.

Meanwhile on the Fallen Knights territory, they were busy preparing the fifty guild members that will be in the guild war. This consists of their top elites with ten being the guild officials. Each Guild official has two players following them like assistants which equates to thirty. The rest of the twenty are the ones that challenge raid dungeons with the guild officials.
"I seriously think that we have this win under our control." Mord stated as he is confident that their numerical advantage along with their elite team can destroy the other guild.
"I would not say that so easily because this is the Demon that we are talking about." One of the guild officials stated.
"I disagree with you because that brat is still wet behind the ears. From the recordings that we have of him or those posted on the internet, he is only good at handling monsters." Another cocky guild official stated.
"Did you not see him fight against the world rankers on the Pandelympics? It is not a rumor to say that he was the one that controlled the King of Twilight." Another guild official argued as even she was amazed by that fight.
"He had his stats buffed for that event which is why he could easily go toe to toe against the other world rankers. I would be able to easily do that as well if I had my stats buffed. Heck, even the weakest amongst us could do that as well when their stats are buffed." The cocky guild official stated.
"Still, it does not mean that we should be looking down on them. Remember that we are going top broadcast this fight live and many of our sponsors want a great battle. We should show them the best we got even if it meant trampling them down." Dame, the guild leader of the Fallen Knights, stated as her presence commanded the respect of every guild member in her guild house.

A day has passed, and his friends arrived at Avalon with their gears and overall presence vastly different from before. The first one to arrive was Creepysoo since he was escorted by Du'an via teleportation. His overall demeanor has changed as the aura surrounding him became colder and grittier.
He was covered in Death Energy all around his body with five soul like flames circling around him. These were his five undead knights. He might look alone but his very own aura made it feel like they are looking at a legion of undead.
His weapon is also changed from a cane to a tome chained to his very hand. This is the Necronomicon that he got as a reward from the God of Death Abaddon himself. He has received this reward from his contribution in protecting the undead from the angels that attacked the undead citadel and also his meritorious deeds towards the other gods of death.
The next to arrive after Creepysoo are the father and daughter duo. It has been a long time since Vayu and Soleil reunited with the group. Even Creepysoo is amazed by their change as their own bodies are almost filled to the brim with elemental energy. Vayu is not even standing on the ground anymore as he is just hovering. He has small clouds swirling around him which made him look like a mythological samurai.
Soleil looked like she would burn you if you touched her as her hair could be seen to go back and forth between red and orange flames. She also has a miniature looking sun revolving around her that radiates warmth, but Creepysoo knows that he could get purified just touching that. They did not feel like they were half elementals anymore as if they evolved from that.
After the father and daughter duo, the next ones to show up were the three best friends. It seems that all of them were doing missions together. If one looked at Kabrakan then they would see him as a person that should not be messed with. Just with his rock like exterior and touch body alone made anyone that dared to look at his way shift their gazes.
Another drastic thing that changed is that his shields are now more polished than ever before. There are also some crystal spikes adorning it, but they were not there for decoration. The tips of his shields are also pointed to make sure that he can stab anyone should they be caught off guard against him.
Peridot's changes are not that visible, but one could see that her gems are not just rocks that float anymore. Each of the gems somehow turned into a bell like shape while her clothes changed to a more draconic priestess type vibe. She also has a small blue orb sticking out from her forehead as well.
Levin Cloud's changes are not dramatic, but one could see that the aura around him is different. If one were to just see him from a distance, then they would say that nothing has changed but they will notice if they were to be near him. If one is near him, they could feel that the world around them seems to want to close up on Levin Cloud.
They would be smothered by this sensation that they are getting crushed by the world. Another subtle hint is that grass seem to grow in any area that he steps on as if his very being could induce growth. When he exuded a bit of a negative emotion though, all the grass on his feet suddenly withered and died. His very presence can now affect the life and death of smaller beings.
After the three, the last ones to arrive were Solstice and Lycan. Just like Levin Cloud, the change of the two are not eye-catching as they looked almost the same. The only thing that did change is that the air around them will make anyone feel heavy as if dread is creeping up on them.
They also somewhat create a red mist beneath their feet when they move with touches of black shadows. Solstice could be even seen playing with these as if she could control it willingly. Lycan did not control it like what Solstice does, but this mist somehow adds to his aura of ferocity. They both exuded the threat of a predator lurking or stalking its prey.
All of them entered the guild house together since Adrian said that they will meet inside there. When they entered the guild house, they looked at gardenesque inside of it while the background of a galaxy could be seen revolving on top of them. One could describe the inside of their guild house being another world.
In that other world is a hall where all the guild members could meet and a throne in which the guild master could sit. When they looked at the floating throne, they could see a person sitting there and waiting for them. As soon as they gazed at him, something inside them screamed to bow down to that person immediately.
The ones that are more affected by that compelling force are the ones that have Asmodian ancestors. When Adrian stood up from the throne, his hair could be clearly seen as it is now almost fully white where only touches of it are purple. He also has this air of majesty surrounding him that makes the world want to bow down to him.
