Just when everyone thought Ryan and his team were finished, they held their ground through the brutal onslaught of two Guardians—and managed to bring down Isdal's true form. Against all odds, they had done it. The Guardian was dead.
For a few stunned seconds, the crowd watching from afar was silent. Then the chat channels exploded into chaos. Questions, speculations, wild guesses. But Ryan and his team were already gone. They'd disabled their real-time IDs, slipped away through a few quick turns, and vanished into the terrain.
No one knew who had landed the killing blow—or even who the mysterious team was that had appeared just after the Alliance and Orc factions had exhausted each other.
But one thing was clear: they weren't part of any guild.
After all, a guild would never hide its identity after taking down a Guardian. Moments like that were rare—prestige and bragging rights for years.
