Ding! Ding!
A notification rang throughout the vast South Continent.
[WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: The Players from South Continent had successfully defeated the Avatar of God Zephyros!]
Every Player who raised their head to look at the message was amazed, with a shimmer of excitement oozing from their eyes. However, there were also a few that were disappointed.
Currently, somewhere in South Continent.
In a vast City that was even larger than Stronglord. An army of players that totaled close to a thousand players was gathered in the City's center where Realm Portals were.
At the front of those players, a man coated in heavy silver-colored armor with a robust-looking body and sharp eyes was glaring at the notification in the air.
"Hmph… If the pathway to Spring Realm wasn't in Stronglord, instead here, we would have defeated the avatar within the first try…"
He turned around to look at the players that looked at him with the utmost respect, "Isn't that right?!"
"YEAH!" The ground shook under the mighty shout of the army.
The player tag floated above the Player, giving peace of serenity to everyone who saw it.
[King Michael]
King Michael whipped his head around and paid the Guard the amount of money that would terrify many. He paid for over a thousand players, and the total amount of money he wasted was too scary to think.
The Guard had a crack in his expression for the first time in a while. He accepted the money with a bow and opened the portal.
Once the portal was open, King Michael unsheathed his sword and pointed it toward the sky, "Men, and women. A new world is waiting for us!"
"YEAH!"
King Michael stepped inside the portal and disappeared. Then, thousands of players rushed inside the portal, and soon, the mighty army had disappeared.
…
In the Stronglord.
Around the Realm Portals.
King Jonathan and Queen Diana had gathered with their Guild Members. The City Center was surrounded by thousands of other players, and each one saw the notification echoing throughout the vast City.
"Heh." King Jonathan looked at his Guild Members and nodded. Then, he paid for the Guard and stepped inside the portal, soon followed by Queen Diana.
Soon, the Stronglord was emptied by the players. Each one of them appeared in the Forest of Unknown and began marching toward the pathway.
…
Inside the broken hall.
Isaac slumped down to the ground and let out a tired sigh.
Then, notifications rang.

…
"Haahh…" Near Isaac, the exhausted-looking players clumsily stood up. Their unfocused eyes were locked on the stone door frame that began to emit a light glow. Soon, orange-colored particles seeped through the rock and created a spiral-like portal in the middle of the door.
The players finally realized what they had achieved. Their legs took them closer to the portal, and they felt a wave of relief washing over them as they got closer to the portal.
Isaac touched the cracked ground and slowly stood up. Then, he staggered toward Darth and helped him to stand.
Afterward, they slowly walked toward the portal. Darth could barely keep standing. Even though he wasn't in pain, the amount of mental exhaustion wasn't small.
He and Isaac had to defy death multiple times, and just one slip of concentration would have caused their demise.
On the other hand, Isaac saw that his White Death had deactivated. There was also the moment when his strength somehow rippled through and made him much stronger than he should have been.
Isaac, when fidgeting his fingers, couldn't feel them. That caused his whole body to enter a state of weakness. He understood that this could not be normal.
Soon, Darth and Isaac reached the stone door frame. Players ahead of them were waiting for them out of respect. They nodded at them and stepped aside.
"See you on the other side." Darth patted their shoulders and stepped inside the portal.
"Whew…" Isaac put his hands around his hip and caught his breath. Then, under the intense gazes of players, he lifted his leg and stepped inside the portal.
…
Outside the pathway.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
From the depths of the forest, armored and robed individuals appeared. They stopped once reaching the open valley and could see the majestic statue standing proudly.
King Jonathan wrapped his fingers around the hilt of his sword and was about to begin walking forth. However, then the earth started shaking.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
From the top of a small hill, players began slowly appear.
King Jonathan, Queen Diana, and the rest of the players frowned simultaneously. They weren't aware that more players were in the Forest of Unknown.
However, soon their faces changed shades.
At first, a dozen players appeared, then it was a hundred, and finally a thousand.
The thousands-strong player army looked down at them, and in front of them was a man dressed in silver-colored armor.
King Michael grabbed his helmet and removed it. His beautiful blond hair and strikingly beautiful blue eyes became visible. Everyone who saw the combo of his features was mesmerized.
"Michael!" King Jonathan shouted in shock. Queen Diana's mouth was also agape with shock painting her beautiful face.
King Michael's mouth curved upward as his grip on his sword tightened, "Jonathan and Diana…"
King Jonathan took a step back, and a drop of sweat trailed down his face, 'Fuck…'
Swing!
King Michael unsheathed his shiny sword that reflected the sun's light, "Hahahaha!"
While most Stronglord players weren't sure what was happening, King Jonathan and Queen Diana did.
They looked at each other with equally pale faces. They nodded and turned around to face their Guild members.
"PREPARE FOR WAR!"
