Watching in the distance, the higher-ups of different guilds, friends or foes, couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The combined forces of the Powerhouse Guilds were being slaughtered by a group of three players. Or rather four, since Cloe was still helping Shin despite not being directly involved in the 'slaughter party'.

And what gave these people a greater shock was the discovery of the identities of the other two players.

First was the knight clad with black-gold full-body armor and wielding a golden spear and shield on each of his hands. While the other one the barbarian-like man donned a helm that was made of lion's head and had a bloody double-headed battle axe.

"Dragon God: Siegfried and War God: Simba. I didn't expect to see them in this place," muttered by a human guardian as he watched the battle from a distance. And after a few more moments of watching, he turned his body around and started walking away.

The Female Dark Elf Archer was taken aback by his action and asked. "We are going back already, Sir? The battle is not done yet."

The Human Guardian turned his head to look at her over his shoulders and said. "Do really think that it is not done yet? Heh! The result of his battle has already been decided the moment that show-off guy appeared in this battle. And when that barbaric guy announced his presence, that sight in front of you is not a battle anymore, but a one-sided slaughter."

After that, he resumed walking away without considering what the Archer was thinking.

...

On the other side of the battlefield, a WolfKin Master Hunter was looking at the sight in front of him with soulless eyes before jumping off from the boulder that he was standing on. Then he said at the other players waiting there. "Tell the boys that we are retreating now. There is no point at staying here now."

"But what about the loots, Big Bro?" said a Human Swordsman beside him.

The WolfKin addressed as the boss turned his head at him with squinted eyes and said. "What? You still want to give it a go despite seeing those two? As long as those two are there, no one will hope that they could get their hands in the loots without paying a heavy price."

"If you really want to die then go! You are free to do so, but don't drag the brotherhood down alongside you."

Then he looked at the others and said. "Alright! That was enough of dozing off, start gathering the others so that we can leave this place."

...…

Meanwhile, a Naga Master Aquamancer was currently shaking his head and smiling bitterly when he saw the battle prowess shown by Simba and Arthur. "Truly worthy of their titles. Looks like we already have the winners."

Then he said to the Blood Elf Master Twilight beside him. "It is time to leave. Tell the others to retreat from the battlefield as soon as possible," without removing his eyes at the ongoing 'battle'.

The man beside him was surprised at his words before raising his doubt. "Now? We are not going to give it a try, Guild Master? Even if they are Peak-Godlike Players that doesn't mean-…"

But before he even managed to complete what he wanted to say, the Master Aquamancer raised his hand to cut him off from talking before saying. "You are questioning my decisions now?"

Those made the Master Twilight to break with cold sweat, especially when he saw that his Guild Leader was throwing him a cold look. "N-n-no, Sir."

The Master Aquamancer turned his attention back at the battlefield and said. "I know that you are confident in yourself. But those guys are on a whole new other level. You can't beat them without having proper preparation."

*****

Similar things were happening on different sides of the battlefield, most of the guilds from the Powerhouses Alliance started withdrawing from the battle, leaving only the stubborn guilds behind.

This was also the same for the powerful guild based on the Holy City, specially the Hydra Guild and Blood Carnival. They might be a bunch of lunatics, but they were not fools; they also know where and when to retreat when everything went south for them.

Just like that, Shin and the others got the last hit on the final wave of the boss of the event and also secured the loots dropped by the boss.

And with that, the monster horde event finally came to an end.

The members of the opposing side of Shin were now shaking their heads due to the losses that they had got. And to rub more salt on their wounds, they didn't get anything in that battle at all! What's more, they even provoked a pair of Godlike Payers that were standing at the very top of the game.

No matter how they looked at their situation, they were the greatest losers of this special event.

At the same time, the groups that sided at Shin's group were now secretly rejoicing that they had won their gambles. They did not only dodge a deadly bullet but also became on the good side of some Legendary figures.

Even if they didn't get much from this event, they could still be happy that their members would not be going to get hunted down by some fearsome figures at the very least. Simba and Siegfried already had some reputation of hunting some elite and expert groups of some Powerhouse Guilds after being provoked.

Their competitors, on the other hand, would surely get hunted down, which would also weaken their main force. And when that happened, their chances at winning the Holy City would get better since those guilds and groups would surely be kicked out of the competition after getting weakened.

Inside the VIP Room no.1 of the Heavenly Resto-Bar Branch in Calderock Town, Lawless and his group were having a meeting as usual.

"Tsk! I didn't expect that the 'Dragon God: Siegfried' was Brother Sickarius' brother," Lawless clicked his tongue as he remembered the unexpected development that happened earlier.

Ravier nodded his head and said. "Being friends with 'War God: Simba' and being close with the 'Gentle Goddess: Arielle' are already amazing. But what the heck? Even the 'Dragon God: Siegfried' is his brother?"

"At this rate, I will believe him even if he said that he is friends with all of the players on the Godlike Ranking List."

Hearing that, Ember couldn't help but add. "Don't forget that the Mysterious Leader of the Hand of Midas Trading Firm was his big sister."

The face of Hayden suddenly turned stiff after hearing that and swept his gaze at the other and saw their serious faces. 'For real? What kind of person was that guy?'

Then he remembered that Shin was also using two kinds of persona while gaming. 'Then if he combined his two personas while fighting?'

And when his thoughts reached his thoughts, he felt that his blood suddenly turned cold. 'What the!? I can't even guarantee that I am going to win if that happened.'

While Hayden was lost in his thoughts, Faker suddenly looked at Lawless and asked. "So, what do you plan to do now?"

Lawless knitted brows and turned his head at Faker with a confused look, indicating that he didn't understand what he meant.

Seeing that look, Faker immediately clarified what he meant. "I mean, what is your plan with brother Sickarius? With that kind of lineup, I am pretty sure that they are going to create a party of their own."

The corner of Lawless mouth suddenly twitched and said. "We can't help it. That only means that I am really destined to deal with all of the troublesome stuff of this team," while taking a helpless sigh.

*******

Meanwhile, the man in question was currently having a meeting with the other three in the Mayor's room of the Calderock Town.

"So~, how are we going to divide these loots?" asked Shin as he stared at the mountains of items in front of them; a small and a tall mountain of items.

The smaller one was the mountain of items that they got from the monster bosses of the event while the other one was the items that they had looted from the players that they had killed.

"I don't have any interest in these trash. You can do whatever you want on them, just give me a little bit of money. Even 10% of the total cost will do," said Arthur not bothering to look at the mountains of items. He was just relaxing on the sofa that he was sitting with eyes closed.

Hearing that Simba also nodded his head and said. "The same for me. I don't have any use of them and there are also no items that can catch my eyes. Though, I want 30% of the total cost instead."

'As expected of Leo. A fair and square division. Since I got the most benefits from this event, I will not complain even if I get 20% of it actually,' thought Shin before turning his head at Cloe.

And as if waiting for Shin to do that, Cloe immediately said without having any kind of hesitation. "I don't want any of those, you can have all of my share. Just giving me a one-day date will do."

He was about to nod his head when he heard the first part of Cloe's words, but he suddenly stopped himself from doing it the moment he heard the latter part. Then he looked at her with a confused looked on his face.

Seeing his reaction, Cloe suddenly pouted her lips and said. "What? You can't even give me that? What a heartless individual."

And before Shin could say anything to defend himself, the other two suddenly chimed in and injected.

"Yep! Such a coldhearted bastard."

"Tsk! How can you do that to such a beauty?"

'What the? What did I do wrong?' Being ganged up by the three, Shin had no other choice but to agree with her request; he would not lose anything after all. "Alright, I owe you one. Just contact me once you get back to Soaring Content."

Ugh!

Once those words left his mouth, Shin heard two groaning sounds on the side. And when he turned his head at the source of the sound, he saw Leonard(Simba) and Arthur whispering with each other with their backs facing him.

"What the hell, man? How did your family raise this guy, Brother Arthur? He has no sense of romance at all. 'I owe you one'? Is that even a right phrase to say at that moment?" asked Leonard.

"I know, right? I actually suspect him as a eunuch or someone that swings that way since he didn't even feel anything with that number of women lining up for him," answered Arthur with a very low voice.

"No, I doubt him being that kind either. Remember what happened at the Lake Heart Hotel? Didn't-…?" Leonard was in the middle of talking but he suddenly stopped himself from continuing when he reached this point. Then he turned his head at Arthur and saw that the latter was also looking back at him with widened eyes.

A moment later, Arthur gave him a special eye signal code, saying. 'No one will talk about that. Let him deal with that problem himself.'

Seeing that, Leonard nodded his head, completely agreeing on what Arthur had said Then he replied back with the same manner. 'Yeah, I don't want to get dragged in that.'

Arthur gave him an Okay sign with his right hand, indicating. 'Absolutely!'

At this point, Shin finally called them out. "Hey! What are you guys doing there?"

Then the two quickly turned around and replied simultaneously.

"Nothing."

"Go on."

Shin looked at them suspiciously but ignored it and continued. "So, I am saying that I am going to pick some items here that I can use for the development of the town while selling the rest off to Big Sis' trading firm."

Arthur 'thought' for a moment before saying. "Sounds good. Just make sure that you are not going to get caught by her later. If she learned that you are tricking her, then you are dead."

"That is only when you are going to sell me out," rebutted Shin.

Looking at the mountain of items, Leonard couldn't help but muttered. "It may be possible for someone to support a Third-Rate Guild with the amount of these weapons and equipments. No, maybe even a Second-Rate one. The quality of these items is quite high after all."

Hearing him, Arthur's ears couldn't help but perked and said. "Yeah! We can create a small guild with this. What do you think, Shin? It might be fun!" while looking at his brother.

Shin, on the other hand, just looked at him with a blank face.

Misunderstanding the meaning of that look, Arthur immediately added. "You don't have to worry. I can be the face of the guild. You can make me the Guild Leader."

Shin sighed helplessly the moment he heard that and said. "That is not what I mean. We both know that we are lazy with these kinds of stuff. So, who will manage the guild?"

Silence descended at the room, as they didn't know what to say. Then they looked at Leonard who was looking at them with knitted brows, warning them that he also didn't want to.

After that, they turned their heads at Cloe who was shaking her head repeatedly. With that, it was pretty much obvious that she also didn't want to manage a guild.

Seeing those, the two of them sighed helplessly and about to give up when they suddenly heard Cloe's voice, saying. "How about Big Sis Shiella?"

Hearing that, both Shin and Arthur immediately rejected the idea.

"I rather die than doing that."

"I don't want to be a slave even in the game."
