All the guild players from Everlasting Heavenly Legends were now fully clashing with the World Maker and World Ruler. Everlasting Heavenly Legends were completely outnumbered.
As Lead Designer had mentioned, the equipment worn by the regular members of Everlasting Heavenly Legends was inferior compared to the average equipment worn by World Maker and World Ruler's members. The two combined guilds also had more players with special classes.
It was the same case for bloodlines. Everlasting Heavenly Legends' core members all had bloodlines thanks to Jeanny's hard work, but World Maker and World Ruler's core members also did.
The World Maker and World Ruler knew how to effectively get the bloodlines for their core members. If Jeanny didn't have the Book of Creation to help him copy the bloodlines, they would have lost in this field.
The Everlasting Heavenly Legends had one advantage, though. The space-time chamber and the abundance of martial arts mentors. This let everyone advance incredibly fast in terms of martial arts.
This martial expertise helped bridge the equipment inferiority from the regular members and even allowed them to hold their ground against enemies who outnumbered them.
Both World Maker and World Ruler's members expected they would be able to take care of Everlasting Heavenly Legends players in no time. But after the clash, they were no longer so sure.
They started to use their war tools. World Maker's members used paralyzing bombs. World Ruler's members used smoke bombs.
World Ruler's smoke bombs were completely useless. Almost everyone in the Everlasting Heavenly Legends had mana sense. They had no problem maneuvering and fighting despite the smokes.
World Maker's paralyzing bombs were more troublesome, but some Everlasting Heavenly Legends players with better martial arts were able to hit the bombs back to the thrower before they exploded. This in turn paralyzed the World Maker members instead.
Not many were such experts, though. So, a good number of the paralyzing bombs hit their intended targets. The Everlasting Heavenly Legends retaliated with their war tool, the exploding bottles. They were not as effective as the paralyzing bombs but were troublesome enough due to their burn effect. Players had fewer HP. If the burn effect was not treated, those players could die.
Due to this, the battle seemed to be even.
Jeanny sent a message to everyone. "Time to call them!"
She preferred to keep this secret weapon secret until the deciding battle, but if they could take out a majority of World Maker and World Ruler's players here, it could also be considered a major win. Upon receiving the order, many of the core members started taking out small items.
The World Maker and World Ruler members recognized those items as the companion tokens. They sneered. Many of them also have companions. Some had already called them. The others were calling them now after seeing the enemies' actions.
Many natives started appearing in the field. As they did, a disparity was immediately made clear.
Although many of World Maker and World Ruler's members also had companions, many were natives of the elites and special elites around the same level as them. But the ones Everlasting Heavenly Legends called are mostly rare elites with levels nearing 80, and almost all of them were women.
The most impressive was a level 81 mythical elf. This elf was Dicce, Euphosine's past follower. In fact, all the companions that had just been called by Everlasting Heavenly Legends players were ex-members of the Council of Charites. They were the ones who couldn't join Talia or the Themisphere army. These were the natives whom Jack proposed to join his guild.
After arriving in Heavenly Citadel, Jeanny thought about how to best use these warriors. Dicce and the others also seemed bored doing nothing but loitering around the place. By now, no guilds in Themisphere dared to attack Heavenly Citadel, so being a guard there was the most boring job in the world.
When Jeanny asked John for his opinion, he nonchalantly answered, "Just bind them to our members to be meat shields when needed."
Despite the offhand response, Jeanny considered the suggestion seriously. She called all these ex-Council of Charites warriors and asked their opinions. By becoming the companions to their core members, they would be able to fight for the guild and also the country. In addition, they also gained the ability to level up fast like outworlders.
It didn't take them long to decide. Normally, natives needed to judge the outworlders before they decided to be their companions. But they had decided to give their lives to Jack's guild when they agreed to come to Heavenly Citadel. Being the companions of the guild members served their purpose. So, they agreed.
They left the decision of pairing to Jeanny. Jeanny tried to make the best pairing for each. He only paired them with the core members she truly trusted and who was capable enough.
Dicce was Fierce Flame's companion. When she appeared, she immediately took to the sky. Lightning crackled around her as she cast a spell. When the spell was completed, innumerous lightning snakes were unleashed.
Jeanny and the others knew the spell very well because Jack also used it often. Dicce's spell was Perpetual Lightning Judgement.
The World Maker and World Ruler's players tried their best to use their defensive skills, but many still perished under the lightning calamity.
Dicce didn't stop. She was already casting another spell when her Perpetual Lightning Judgement was wreaking havoc. She cast Lightning Strike. Ten thick lightning came down from the sky and struck the players in the marked area. This showed that her lightning strike was already at full ten stars. Each star called an additional lightning down.
The other ex-members of the Council of Charites were not less impressive. Most of them were magic casters. They also had a degree of mana manipulation despite being rare elites, making their magic even more potent.
In a brief time since they were called, the balance in the battlefield abruptly tipped toward Everlasting Heavenly Legends' advantage.
Seeing such a drastic change, the two opposing guilds realized that they bit off more than they could chew.
