Chapter 375 Chapter374-Display of Power
Upon hearing John's icy words, Wolf Howl's face turned pale. But he knew very well that this was not the time to show weakness; even if he was wrong, he had to persist in his mistake.
"Don't spout nonsense here! This whole situation started because you, Galewind, killed core members of AGHHO and shamelessly looted their equipment. They're here for revenge!" Wolf Howl retorted, "In plain terms, everything that happened today is your doing. You are the real culprit. What does this have to do with my Wolf Guild?"
John, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh rather than get angry. He casually replied, "Why I killed those AGHHO core members, don't you know? If you hadn't hired assassins, why would they have come after me?"
"As for these six daggers, as I said earlier, they're simply the spoils of my victory. How I choose to deal with them is my business. What's wrong with auctioning them off?"
Wolf Howl's face turned from red to white and back again. John's cold gaze, coupled with the murderous looks from the surrounding players wishing him dead, almost made him unable to stand. His body trembled involuntarily with fear.
Frankly, Wolf Howl hadn't expected the situation to escalate to this point. When 45 approached him, his first thought was to seize the opportunity to get on board with AGHHO, a powerful native ancient force. If the Wolf Guild could secure the backing of AGHHO, they would no longer fear any rivals in the game.
Wolf Prime's noble status combined with his AGHHO membership could have allowed them to dominate the Godslayer Continent. But he hadn't anticipated that before his dreams could come true, disaster would strike first.
The wolf-like gazes of those present made it clear to Wolf Howl that from now on, the Wolf Guild would be the enemy of all players. After all, no one likes a traitor, especially one who colludes with NPCs in the game to harm other players.
Wolf Howl clenched his teeth, trying to hypnotize himself into believing that with AGHHO's support, they could stand against all. What did it matter to be the enemy of everyone? Could these players really contend with AGHHO?
However, John's next words shattered his illusion.
"Thinking that AGHHO's support makes you invincible? Sadly, that's just wishful thinking on your part," John said coolly. "No matter how powerful AGHHO is, they can't interfere in player conflicts under the system's supervision... From now on, you'll face consecutive guild wars initiated by the world's top ten guilds, wave after wave, until your Wolf Guild is reduced to dust..."
Wolf Howl raised his head to scoff at John's arrogance, but then Adam's deep voice came from a second-floor box, "I declare that starting today, Wolf Guild is the archenemy of my Genesis Guild. This is a fight to the death!"
Immediately following, Blue Sea's voice resonated, "And my Blue Sea Guild too. Once the Genesis Guild's Guild Battle ends, we will launch ours, relentlessly."
Unexpectedly to John, Snowla's voice also chimed in, laden with anger, "Damn it, to think they'd dare collude with outsiders! My Black Rose Guild joins in too. We'll annihilate these traitors!"
John: "…"
Following Snowla's statement, several more voices joined in. "If Snowla is in, then my Silent Ones Guild is up for the fun too." "Us as well…"
Finally, Bambooist's indifferent and languid voice concluded, "Given Wolf Guild's reprehensible actions, from this day forward, the Travelers Association will not engage in any form of business with Wolf Guild, not just in this game, but in all games."
Wolf Prime, amidst the crowd, turned pale as his sturdy body began to wobble.
He knew it was over.
Wolf Guild was doomed. Wolf Prime suddenly lifted his head, glaring furiously at Wolf Howl, who stood frozen like a statue, wishing he could annihilate him and his entire family. When Wolf Howl had proposed bringing AGHHO assassins to the auction, Wolf Prime had his reservations. He knew very well that anywhere in the world, the act of colluding with outsiders to harm one's own people would be eternally condemned.

But he couldn't stand against Wolf Howl's relentless persuasion, coupled with the temptation of aligning with AGHHO, a powerful force. In hindsight, Wolf Prime realized his decision was incredibly foolish.
John no longer paid attention to the despair of Wolf Guild's leaders. He shifted his focus back to 45, who had remained silent. "So, you're just going to watch your loyal lackey become a scapegoat, despised by everyone?"
45's voice was cold and emotionless. "This is your unknown land's affair. What does it have to do with AGHHO?"
A slight smirk curled on John's lips. Just as he had thought, 45 had never intended to honor any promises. Wolf Guild was merely a pawn to be used and discarded.
And with 45's callous remark, Wolf Howl's last illusion was shattered. He suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at John. "Bastard, it's all because of you! You're the demon who destroyed everything for my Wolf Guild!"
Wolf Howl's hand flicked, and a dagger with a chilling glow quietly appeared. He entered stealth mode, closing in on John, and thrust the dagger towards John's neck. John didn't even flinch, slightly leaning back to dodge the seemingly lethal strike, then kicked Wolf Howl away with a swift motion.
"Bang!"
Wolf Howl slammed heavily against a pillar meters away, coughing up blood, completely incapacitated.
"What a foolish and oblivious fool you are, to dare raise your hand against me," John's calm and mocking voice completely shattered Wolf Howl's spirit. A mouthful of blood spurted out as he fell into unconsciousness.
John then turned his attention back to 45, chuckling softly, "Your turn now…"
Hearing John's provocative words, a mocking glint flashed in 45's eyes. He sneered coldly, "Ah, so full of confidence. Well, since you're so eager to meet your end, I'll oblige."
45 leaped forward like a wild beast pouncing on John. A dagger wreathed in dark energy appeared in his hand, emitting a malevolent light as it swiftly stabbed towards John.
John slightly frowned, lifting the Divine Blade to block 45's strike. The clash of metal resounded through the auction hall as they engaged in a swift exchange. 45 was formidable, his attacks fierce and ruthless.
However, he utterly underestimated his opponent's strength. With his excellent reflexes and mind power, John easily parried 45's onslaught and counterattacked in an instant.
In a flash, John appeared behind 45, thrusting his sword towards his back. 45 narrowly dodged the strike, but his movement was disrupted. John seized the opportunity, unleashing a sword light that sliced through the air, aimed at 45's vital point.
A trace of terror flickered in 45's eyes as he raised his dagger in defense, but despite his astonishing speed, he couldn't withstand John's powerful assault. The sword light penetrated the dagger, piercing into 45's body.
A scream echoed as blood spurted from 45's mouth, and he was sent flying, landing on the ground in a disheveled heap, weak and breathless.
The surrounding players were stunned by John's prowess, their eyes wide in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them. The seemingly invincible 45, whose strength they couldn't even gauge with detection skills, was no match for John?
Isabella also breathed a sigh of relief, her heart filled with admiration for John.
On the second floor, in the private boxes, the guild leaders of the top guilds were also watching the scene intently.
Blue Sea, visibly excited, communicated with Adam over the channel: "Did you see that? That's Galewind's true power. We couldn't detect that assassin's strength, which means his level was at least a hundred levels above ours. Yet, he was instantly annihilated by Galewind!"
Adam, however, remained quite composed, or rather, he had never doubted John's strength. "Saw it, saw it... What's there to be surprised about? Remember, Galewind is someone who can slay gods. What's an AGHHO assassin in comparison?"
…
In the Black Rose Guild, Snowla was also chatting excitedly with Chillminder. "See? How amazing is Brother Galewind? You didn't believe me when I told you earlier!"
Chillminder, the guild leader of Silent Ones Guild, replied helplessly in the channel, "Sis, I know your Brother Galewind is incredible, but can you switch to private chat? Talking like this in the group, are you planning to make an official announcement?"
Snowla's eyes widened in surprise, "What? You jerk, why didn't you tell me this was in the group voice chat?"
She hurriedly turned off the group chat, leaving the elite members of the two top guilds, Silent Ones and Black Rose, pondering one thing.
What exactly is the relationship between Snowla, the guild leader, and Galewind, the big shot?
The flames of gossip burned fiercely in the hearts of these elite players...
