Hours went by and all remaining MIST members were killed back to 0 and were barred from entering the Divine World for a week in real-world time.
As for Tyler, his expression was completely dead when he got revived once again, only to meet with a creature looming over him.
By now, he got so used to seeing this particular creature who obliterated his health points and caused his experience points to drop.
From a level 33, he was now a level 1 with 0 experience points in the bar.
He couldn't even get the opportunity to speak a word when the final attack landed on him, instantly causing his experience points to go into the negative and a system prompt stating he had dropped to level 0.
And due to him being the final member of MIST, the special zone barrier began to show signs of collapse, along with a System Announcement.
System: MIST has been defeated in the Guild War against the Vanguard Guild. As punishment for the defeated, all their loot now belongs to the Vanguard Guild and is barred from entering the Divine World for a week.
Everyone that was situated in Skyland City read the system prompt with widened eyes.
"It's really over for MIST."
"A week ban from entering the Divine World. They can't even catch up with the mainstream anymore."
"Hah, can they even catch up when they all get killed to level 0?"
"PotionHoarder and those who got imprisoned in Star Falls City had really dodged a big bullet this time. I'd rather be imprisoned than be publicly killed in such a fashion."
As the spectators came to the conclusion that MIST was over, they also commented about PotionHoarder's lucky escape from this persecution.
Soon after, the special zone and safe zone were lifted, returning Skyland City to its original state. NPC guards and whatnot began to fill the previously empty streets and did their duty, almost as if the chaotic battle hadn't happened.
"We really won…" Carmen, who had finally gotten over the adrenaline rush, muttered softly. She was quite startled that they really pulled it off.
Meanwhile, Xu Feng twitched his brows in disbelief at her reaction.
'Woman, you just decimated Tyler over and over again without hesitation. What do you mean by we really won?' He wanted to cry silently at her quick change.
He had thought he was an expert in changing faces, but no, it was Carmen.
In one moment, she was the innocent and naive woman who seemed to be an easy target to swindle or target. But in the next moment, she could turn very cold-blooded and ruthlessly killed without batting an eyelid.
It was no wonder she was labeled and called the demoness in his past timeline. She definitely lived up to that nickname, and anyone who dared to snatch the nickname from her was courting death.
"But Guild Leader… Why does this war feel so lackluster?" Carmen suddenly pursed her lips and asked. "There was no excitement or challenge at all. Is MIST really a first-rate guild or is it just a sham?"
Almost immediately, players around the area were rendered speechless by Carmen's statement.
It wasn't that MIST was a sham, but they were in terrible shape. Not only did they lose half of their elite forces during the siege, but their elders were also absent in the war.
In a sense, what the Vanguard Guild defeated was not MIST itself but rather Tyler and his private army.
Of course, that didn't change the fact a new Overlord had arrived at Skyland City.
From now on, the Overlord of Skyland City was Vanguard Guild, and none would dare to challenge their authority at this current stage.
"Hmm, this is going to make a dent in our current plans." Veronica, who had been patiently waiting outside the safe zone, went to Xu Feng and explained the circumstances.
She didn't partake in the war because she was not battle-hungry and preferred to stay idle in such a situation if permitted. Nevertheless, she still remained active to keep up with the current news and events.
"What dent are you speaking of?" Xu Feng turned to her and was rather confused by her statement.
"We're already an Overlord at Star Falls City, so to expand our status and control Skyland City as well. The funds and resources aside, we lack the necessary manpower to operate another NPC city." Veronica explained.
She had access to and knowledge of the guild's overall funding and resources, so she could easily tell that expanding their guild to another city would do more harm than good.
They simply did not have the capability to devour another city on their own.
While her fellow guildmates were battling in the special zone, she tried her best to calculate and allocate the necessary resources once they won.
However, she just couldn't find a probable solution in which they could manage two cities.
"Who said anything about being an Overlord at Skyland City?" Xu Feng suddenly raised the question and brought everyone's attention.
"I never intended to take over Skyland City." He continued, enlightening and shocking everyone at the same time.
"Huh, we're not taking over this city?" Startled, Carmen intervened after she finished looting Tyler's items and overheard the conversation. "Why did we start a war here if we're not going to take over it?"
Amused by their curiosity, Xu Feng revealed, "Skyland City isn't important to us, but it's definitely a juicy pie for many."
Instantly, everyone understood Xu Feng's meaning.
Even Carmen was stupefied by his action.
"So those who have been oppressed by MIST and didn't dare to make a sound shall now have a chance to become this city's overlord huh." She said in a bittersweet tone. There was no way she had worked this hard just to sell it away.
Suddenly, a realization came to her mind.
'Argh, no wonder the Guild Leader didn't make any move. This was just another business deal so he didn't want to waste energy.'
