Emily was panting while being surrounded by four giant demonweeds. There were burn marks on her cape and leg.
Flore was standing on one of the giant monster plants while using overflow. His face looked hideous as he stared at Emily. "Damn woman! You will slowly die in my hands!"
Oom! Four huge white swords moved like a beam and destroyed the heads of the demon weeds, but Flore was able to jump away.
Schwing! His head flew in the air. He saw a man with crackling lightning on his body and holding a white sword. "Shit, what kind of monster targeted us?"
The huge demonweeds wilted, then Edgar moved closer to Emily and healed her. "You should have just moved away when it got dangerous and asked for help. Mike and the others could have lent a hand and prepared an ambush."
Emily felt embarrassed. "Brother Ed, I was too focused on fighting and forgot."
Edgar chuckled.
Meanwhile, the huge fire beast that Karan was controlling was trapped within a huge energy ball.
"Ahhh!" screamed Karan as the shockwave squeezed his body.
Bang! The fire beastman was destroyed, and Karan coughed out blood. The energy on the huge energy ball was consumed, then Karan fell from the air. His memory of Tony was appearing in his mind. Saving him in the street, fighting together during their gangster days, and then their adventures in broken worlds.
"Boss, it was an exciting journey," thought Karan.
Gan was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. There were broken tiger golems around him. He had a helpless smile on his face as Melody floated toward him. "Without you and Ed, we stand no chance against the Poison Guild."
Melody smiled. "They reached their level of power after more than ten years of practice, while you all got a power that could fight them after only practicing for more than a year."
Gan chuckled. "Yeah, we have to work harder because there is a stronger guild that we might fight later."
In the headquarters of PHA, Viel was in the monitoring room with Owen and other staff.
Viel was looking at a monitor. "Is the control of the satellite returned?"
"N-Not yet, sir. Something is blocking us," said an officer.
"Rewind to the recording."
A picture of the dimensional lock appeared on the hologram screen.
"What did the agent say?"
"Sir, he was not able to respond immediately because he is quite far from Poison Lord's mansion. When Simon was purged, our agents in that guild started dying in broken worlds or restricted zones. We sensed the danger, so we made the others run away and hide. When the families turned their back on Poison Lord, their guild became more strict against our monitoring. Suspicious behaviors near the mansion are immediately apprehended, so our agents needed to move away.
We are still working on making Poison Guild members spy for us. What happened to Poison Lord Mansion was heard by our agent from a witness. When he went near the mansion and observed the situation, he saw poison fog, and fire. There was damage. It looked like a fight happened, then the dimensional lock appeared. It only appeared for a short time. The agent was only able to record it from a distance," said Owen.
Viel touched his chin. "Don't fight for the control of the satellite and let it stay as it is. Make sure to record it and make a video call to Poison Guild headquarters and let me talk to them. Notify president Agusto, and let him prepare the army and navy. Also, notify the available members of PHA."
Owen felt shocked. "Are you planning something, sir?"
Viel smiled. "Someone is attacking Poison Guild. Poison Lord returned to the island, right? He could have been trapped in the Dimensional Lock. Now that the lock is gone, then the fight should have ended. Make our agent move closer and observe. Contact the poison guild members that you are trying to recruit. Say that Poison Lord could be dead, and their guild is finished, so we could get more information. If Poison Lord is dead, then it will be the right time to take back the island, but the blame can't be put on our heads, so I have to make the video call."
Owen subconsciously swallowed. "Poison Lord is dead. Is that possible?"
"We will know that, and it should not take too long. If it's true, whoever is responsible for it must bear the anger of that guild. If that guild became unreasonable, our country would be in huge danger," said Viel as his eyes turned sharper.
"Sir, the temporary commander of their guild's stronghold is on the line."
"Go on."
Jaxen appeared on the huge monitor with a smile on his face. "Sir, I heard that you are worried that something bad might have happened to our guild."
Viel also smiled. "Honestly, I am not worried about your guild, but the residents of the island. If there are not enough hyperbeings there, then broken worlds might burst, and some magic beast could slip from the restricted zone and cause many casualties, so I want to ask about the situation."
"Hahahaha, sir, there is no need for you to worry. It was probably just some ambitious force that wanted to replace our guild's number one place in the country. Don't worry, sir, we will remain as the strongest shield of the island against any harm," said Jaxen with a firm face.
Owen and PHA staff looked at Jaxen's face, which was filled with blatant hypocrisy. They felt angry that the man seemed to be mocking them.
Viel's eyes turned sharper. "Our number is online. You can always call us if you change your mind."
Jaxen nodded his head. "I will remember it, sir."
Then he ended the call. There was a mocking look on his face as he chuckled. "What did our scout say?"
There was a sweat on the man's face. "T-They were able to see the burning cars and tanks and our men's bodies on the ground."
"What?! D-Did they see the enemy?"
"N-No, it's still dark. The surrounding forest could not be seen. They are observing the place with a telescope, to stay outside the range of the jamming device and keep the communication. Should we make the scouts keep moving?"
"We must! We have to know what is going on there! Damn it! Contact Rancel again!"
In Manila Bay, Rancel was looking at the sea through the window of a hotel. "Damn Toto, you told me to help you trap the assassin on the mainland, but you actually knew that the assassin would attack on the island and prepared the trap. You dare trick me, but now your guild is asking for reinforcement? If I can't rip off something from you, I won't deserve to be a member of Death Guild."
He drank his brandy and thought,"Toto is a cockroach. He should not easily die because I will be in deep shit if that happens. Death Guild members on the island should already be on their way. The presence of our members should be enough to end the fight. Whoever attacks should understand that clashing with our members means war. Only someone crazy will do that."
