The followers of the dark god could not believe that Eldritch died. They knew that he has a skill that could revive him but for some reason it did not work. The two women accompanying the demon masked player had smiles written on their face as a large heart with great vigor appeared when Eldritch got killed.
"Go now!" Adrian shouted as Sirius suddenly expanded the shadows to try and capture demon masked player.
Adrian used blink to try and get the Heart of War before the demon masked player picked it up. The moment that Adrian is about to reach out for the heart, a clear gong sound suddenly reverberated. A golden barrier suddenly expanded from the Heart of War that pushed Adrian away.
A monk riding a golden cloud could be seen descending from the skies. He was the one that protected the Heart of War from getting claimed by Adrian. Just as he is about to attempt once more, the two women players suddenly appeared next to Adrian, but Lycan and Vayu faced both of them.
Lycan faced off against the fox lady while Vayu faced off against the ninja lady. The demon masked player has already retrieved the Heart of War as he saw that it was heavily contested. Even the other guilds that were hiding and looking for an opportunity eyed it with greed.
"Retreat." The demon masked player stated as he nudged his seda hat down.
The moment he nudged his seda hat down, a mist suddenly enveloped his body and turned it illusory. The ninja lady that is facing off against Vayu threw a smoke bomb down on the ground and vanished into a spark of lightning. The fox lady also retreated by enveloping herself in fire and vanishing into the flames.
When the monk player knew that his companions were safe, he rang his small gong once more. The sound reverberated all throughout the region which blinded all those heard it. When their vision returned, the four perpetrators have vanished as well. The members of guilds and the followers of the dark gods were all dumbfounded at the scene.
For a small moment of time, they did not know what they needed to do as they only fought because of the Heart of War. Now that the Heart of War is gone, they no longer need to fight but the followers of the dark gods seek revenge. They still attacked the guild players even though they have nothing to gain from it.
Adrian, Lycan and Vayu are also part of the crossfire as they are also attacked by others due to the confusion. The other players that have kept their sanity did not attack the three though as that is not something they want to fight. The last one that attacked Adrian got torn by Sirius' mouth which is a pretty gruesome sight to those that witnessed it.
"Can you trace them?" Adrian asked Vayu.
Sirius wanted to follow the scent of the demon masked player, but he could not lock onto the scent. He asked Vayu because wind elementals are often used to track persons or people.
"Unfortunately, they left without a trace. Even the winds tell me that they cannot be found. It feels weird because the wind was stale when we came out of the shadow realm. The identities of those four must not be simple. The eastern continent is also a great expanse, so we do not know players that settled here." Vayu explained.
"This was a great disappointment then. Let us return. Sirius, stop playing with your toy." Adrian stated.
Sirius threw away the player that is currently being bitten by him. Adrian snapped his fingers and all of them teleported away from the battlefield. They do not need to waste their time killing the people here since they are doing it themselves.
As soon as all of them turned into particles of light, a giant scissor suddenly passed though their particles. The wielder of the giant scissors had a look of intense anger written on her face. She was not able to kill the player dubbed as the Demon when he was there.
"Drats! I almost decapitated his head." The female player wielding a giant scissor stated.
"You can get him next time. Let us just finish off these ones so that we can at least sacrifice their souls to the dark gods since the Heart of War was taken. Fortunately, we can just track it back again as the three horsemen are heading towards it. We just need Eldritch to respawn and he can respawn faster if we kill all of the people here." Another female player holding a mirror stated.
A few seconds later, notifications popped out to inform the players of what happened to the Heart of War. The notification infuriated Eldritch even more as he respawned just at the right them to receive it.
[The Heart of War has been sealed and offered to a certain god.]
[The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse are enraged as one of theirs has been offered to a god for power.]
[The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse that remains will now start the Culling.]
"Hear us mortals of this world! Your soul will not reach the sanctuary of the god that you serve once we kill all of you. For the death of one of our own!" Three eerie voices shouted to the heavens which all people in the main world heard.
[The remaining three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has dictated their mission.]
[All players that have a religious order will receive double the damage against the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.]
"You shall be vanquished by our divine light!" A female voice sounded from the heavens as the Goddess Luminaria announced her Holy Crusade against the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
[All members of the Church of Light will deal 50% more damage against the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse when using Light attribute spells.]
