"A total waste of time." Alex grumbled and brought down the first nest. Immediately six wasps popped out of the nest and started hovering around her.

"Come on. Don't just stand there. Start doing something." She sighed in boredom at the weak creatures. She only had to taunt barely to keep them in alive.

In all honesty, this was a waste of everyone's time since she was too high-leveled for this dungeon. This being a common dungeon, she was able to enter with the noobs, but that was it.

No one was going to get any experience points from it. So it was just a waste of time. However, their guild was located in a high level region, and this was the only low level zone in the region.

"Maybe I should have taken them all to Yleka City and let them farm like the other beginners." She thought out loud, absent-mindedly playing with the wasps. "Wait a second, how did these people come to the guild residence in the first place?"

The journey from the center to the edge was full of higher level beasts and these guys were still in noob clothes so they clearly do not have any mounts or money for carriages. How did they do it?

Just as Alex was thinking about this, suddenly dull thudding noises sounded all around her. Half the wasps she was playing with were dead.

"Huh?" But no one was standing near her. Well, there was one person. How could one level 1 player kill three level 20 wasps?

She hadn't even finished her thought before the answer to her question jumped out at her. The one person standing near her, moved once again, punching forward at the wasps with her bare hands.

Ka cha Ka cha Ka cha

Alex recognized some of her moves as being from boxing or MMA, but the speed and precision with which she was performing them were simply incredible. No normal person was capable of fighting like that.

In the blink of an eye, all six wasps were lying on the ground, twitching and wriggling. But wait, something was wrong here. Alex waited and waited for the dude to finish the wasps.

However, that never happened. Instead, he went back to start discussing with the granny what he felt he had done wrong.

Just what the hell was happening here? Did Liam get these people from some weird fighting cult? And then it struck her! That's exactly what he had done! No wonder they were so strong.

But… "Hey! Hey! Why are you not killing them off?" Alex clapped her hands, grabbing the attention of the bunch.

"Hmmm?" The person looked at her in confusion. "Why hurt innocent creatures? I have already defeated them." He shrugged.

"What…" Alex opened and closed her mouth wordlessly. She looked at the group with a deadpan expression as all of them seemed to look at each other and nod in agreement. Under what rock were these people living?

Slowly, it dawned on her… perhaps…

"Hey… on the way to the guild residence… did you guys fight with some beasts?"

"Hmmm? Yes"

"And you didn't kill those too?"

"Yes?"

Alex's face twitched, but she managed to remain calm. "And what level beasts did you manage to fight?"

"Level 30?"

"What did you say?" Alex gaped in shock. A level 1 player fighting with a level 30 beast? Was this guy really serious? This was basically defying the rules of the whole damn game.

Now she understood why Liam had bothered to actually log out and recruit these people in person. They were way too overpowered!

With them, their guild's strength would definitely go up a notch, and if others received pointers from these people, the whole group's fighting capabilities would collectively increase. This was incredible.

Alex suddenly had a new idea. This level 20 dungeon perhaps wasn't a big deal to these people after all. "Let's all just go back out and come back in."

And once they were out, she kicked herself out of the party.

"Now, you all can go in and clear the whole dungeon." No one questioned her, and they did what she said to the letter. Talented and rule following. Damn! This unit was going to be powerful.

But she knew that she was not the leader to this group. It was the old woman. Would this person really work under them?

"Madam?" She called out to the granny. "There is no need for everyone to fight one by one. I suggest you guys clear the dungeon as fast as possible."

The granny nodded and the group walked in.

"And for God's sake, please kill the damned wasps! Otherwise, you won't become stronger." Her voice boomed loudly, though she did not know if this was going to do any good or not.

She sighed and tiredly sat down on the ground, inhaling the scent of fresh grass around her. "Follower check. Strange new recruits check. Consumables check. Strategy check. What else can I do?"

Thinking about this, she suddenly realized who was the perfect person to deal with these new recruits and bring them up to speed. She opened the system interface and started to message Rey.

"Yup. He should do it. Perhaps some discipline from these people might stick to him." Alex giggled to herself. A second later, she froze as the group of people walked out of the dungeon.

"Wait a second? It's only been ten minutes, right? Good Lord. These guys are all monsters!"

She dazedly asked the group to keep running the dungeon again and again. It took only one hour for the whole group of forty to level up to 10. That had to be the fast leveling pace!

Rey also arrived in the meantime and was equally shocked. Alex dumped the hateful group onto him and immediately fled. This was not going to work. If she did not train harder and faster, she was going to be fucking left behind!

Naturally, she also dumped the little twerp onto Rey's head and got the hell out of there. There were still more quests for her to get done at the divine temple and there was also something else she wanted to do.

This would be one of their trump cards if she managed to get it done properly. She grinned and ran back to the divine city.

Meanwhile, everyone else was also busily preparing, each with their own tasks.

Outside the rock temple dungeon, Mei Mei was busily kiting a few players and knee deep in PVP. She wanted to push through and upgrade her Emerald Crown.

Being a shaman, it was not easy for her in the PVP field, but she was a shaman with a legendary item and a fancy panther that dealt significant damage. So she drew quite a bit of blood. Compared to before, she had improved a lot, and her fighting experience was also quietly growing.

Shen Yue as well was doing the same, as her daggers also revolved around PVP for the next upgrade. Both of them were working hard to upgrade the legendary items before the guild war.

The remaining High Council members were all in the middle of their training regimen with Asura, and the core members were exerting equal effort to level up as best they could. The players in the lifestyle were also busily burning the midnight oil.

This war was going to be difficult, and everyone knew it. However, they had no other option. They had to win. Their entire reputation depended on that.

Every time, it was their guild leader breaking the barriers and opening new doors for them, but now there was a chance for them to prove themselves. They had to come through!

Especially, the long-term members of the guild were itching for such an opportunity. Now that they had it, they wouldn't let it slip.

Everybody was doing their best and was confident in their abilities to come out on top in this war. Hours passed by quickly, and soon there were only six more hours left before the final deadline.

Last-minute preparations were still being carried out, but mostly everything was set in place. The Crimson Abyss main team was all set. This war was going to be theirs. They were confident in their efforts, hard work, and skills.

Only the finishing touches and the actual battle were left. As the clock ticked closer and closer, everyone worked harder and harder.

And in the midst of this rowdy atmosphere, all of a sudden, a series of unexpected system notifications flashed.
