"You… You want to sacrifice me to get them?!!!" John was instantly scared. But she reassured him.
"I'm going to send a pinnacle grade master on the lead of a strong force, and rescuing you will be their top mission and priority."
"I… I will listen to your promise then," John had no other choice but to trust her. He knew he got exposed, and there was no way out of here for him.
He played along, led the dark masters with him towards the trap, while batting an eye over the dark masters coming from behind. He made it sure that no one suspected anything, acted all normal and such.
He was too absorbed in his role for an entire month. So he perfectly played his role, while others were following him while thinking they were going to have a nice hunt this time.
According to the reports the dark leaders examined, each time a trap was laid, at least tens of thousands of masters would be there. That meant they could hunt down a strong force, balancing the odds a little bit.
They never thought that Anjie was amassing hundreds of thousands of masters at this moment. To do this, she had to call for many masters from various places, and that would expose their plan.
But she had no other choice but to do it. And to make sure the enemy wouldn't get alarmed early, she asked the masters to move just when John and others were so close from the place of the trap.
"This is going to be the start of a hellish battle," her uncle warned her from the side, "we need to call for more reinforcements…"
"Call for anyone, call for everyone," she was excited and didn't care about what her uncle was worried about, "we have to deal a big blow to them this time. Hahahaha! John, hahahaha! He is going to let me inside that damn place, and would make me return to the top again."
At this moment, and after one month of the storm that William started in the entire world, the ranking changed. The first spot was reserved for Lara this time, followed by the combined forces of Sara and Berry, and then her.
The difference wasn't that big to begin with, and she knew after this battle, she'd regain the top spot easily.
As the uncle expected, the moment many masters moved from various battlefields, the dark leaders got wind of this. And instantly they mobilised their forces to follow suit.
Yet they were half beat late, as the dark masters weren't prepared to move out like the normal ones. That little delay helped a lot in landing a devastating blow to the dark forces trap sat around John. and the latter got rescued by Anjie's forces.
"You are this battle's hero," the battle escalated and went on for an entire week. By the end of it, the dark leaders had to retreat, and now the entire region was purged from their presence.
This came as a shocking surprise for everyone, and no one would ever expect that this all happened thanks to the efforts of a single master! Anjie was one of the few who learnt about this, and John didn't ask for any credit or anything.
"Just give me a few things," he finally confessed about what he did. Anjie felt bad at first, but then felt mad at him.
"You… You didn't bet on me?!!!"
"Don't blame me for that," John bitterly sighed, "you are the new here, and no one knows anything about you. But the boss said…"
He was about to say something but stopped, and Anjie's face beamed with a big smile as she expected what he was going to say and didn't.
"Come on, tell me," she evilly grinned, "I promise to pay you double what you lost on that stupid bet."
"For real? Then I'll say it," John laughed, "the boss predicted that you'll be the one to win in the end, that was what he said to me."
"Hahahaha, do you hear that, uncle? My Willy has such trust in me, hahahahaha!"
John wanted to correct her, say that William thought that way thanks to her father and the kingdom standing behind her. It was like having a grand mountain on your back, while the entire world was getting shaken fiercely by violent earthquakes.
Yet he refrained from saying anything, fearing that he'd lose the gains he had so far from her. And with the silent warning glance from Anjie's uncle, John knew he made the right call by remaining silent.
News spread like wildfire, and Anjie's taking down that strong fort of the dark masters made every other girl speechless and confused.
"How come she did that?" Lara was frustrated when she heard the news, "she struggled there for weeks, how come she managed to pull through?" she was puzzled, not alone, but other girls as well.
Anjie's main reason behind her decline wasn't for the storm alone, but also for her being stuck at that place for a long time. She tried hard to kill her way through, ending up getting in the middle of a moving sand pit, unable to free herself out, unable to crush its way forward.
Yet when she crushed that fort, she gained tons of points as she killed an endless number of dark masters and monsters. Not to say that she gained tons of loot, something that William was going to be very happy about.
William would indeed grow excited, but not for the loot, for the rings they gained. These rings would help masters in this continent to extricate more bad weeds, purge lots of places from the dark masters.
Anjie didn't stop there. Starting from this battle, she selected another hot spot and went directly towards it.
The girls were spread all across the continent, and the map of their locations and movement was well known to most of the masters in the world by now.
