"The guild is under attack!" Lana’s voice echoed across the training grounds.
The first reaction from everyone who heard her was disbelief. They simply couldn’t believe anyone would dare attack them.
Where was this? This was the headquarters of one of the most powerful guilds in the country! Who would have the courage to strike here?
Simply put, no one. No one in the entire country would dare launch an attack on this place.
Attacking them? From their perspective, it was absurd and illogical.
Boom! Boom!
However, the sound of a much larger explosion suddenly erupted, and the entire building shook with far greater intensity.
"Damn it... don’t tell ..." Daniel noticed the sounds as well, though he had a rough idea of what was happening.
His eyes fell on Lana. Clearly, there wasn’t much they could do in this situation.
Lana noticed his gaze and was about to say sothing, but a massive explosion rang out, like half the building had just turned to ash.
"We need to get to the shelter right now!" she looked at everyone and shouted.
Everyone glanced at her with hesitation, but with the explosions and tremors, there was no room to doubt her words. Lana took the lead and moved toward the elevator.
She stepped inside, tapped a sequence of numbers, and then stepped back out.
"What’s going on? Who’s attacking us?" Simon looked at her with concern and asked.
But she didn’t answer. Lana just kept her eyes fixed on the elevator. Suddenly, the entire elevator transford into a portal.
"What? What the hell is this?" Both Daniel and Simon stared at the portal in shock.
"What are you waiting for? Move! All of you, get in!" She looked at those two, then at the rest of the guild mbers.
Everyone nodded and entered without hesitation. Even Simon didn’t hold back and jumped in. Daniel waited for Lana, and then both of them stepped through together.
Once they entered, the portal automatically closed and reverted to the form of a normal elevator, as if nothing had ever changed.
"Where is this place now?" For a mont, as they passed through, colors drained and the world went dark, but when Daniel could see again, he found himself on... a road?
A road that seed to be built in the middle of a galaxy, stretching endlessly with no visible end. Yet, in the distance, he could see a massive tree.
A tree so large it was visible even from here, seemingly acting as a pillar holding up the galaxy itself.
The sky was filled with countless stars, shining and capturing everyone’s attention.
It wasn’t just him. Even Simon and the other guild mbers stared around in shock and awe—completely srized by the beauty of a place they had never seen before, and likely would never see again.
"Where are we?" Daniel turned to Lana and asked.
"This is a dinsion separate from our world. We’re safe here," she looked at him and replied.
"A separate dinsion? So this is that fifth sector you were talking about?"
Lana nodded. This was the sa fifth sector she had ntioned before, the place where her younger sister was secluded, training.
"How did you even get your hands on sothing like this?" Daniel asked with amazent.
It wasn’t the first private dinsion he had seen. Back on the second floor of the Tower, he had also seen the private dinsion of the Prophet of the Religion of Eternity.
But this place was entirely different. This was a dirt road in the middle of a galaxy, while that one had been a massive library like sothing out of magical fantasy films and novels.
"You’d have to ask my grandfather about that. He never told us how he got this dinsion," Lana replied.
"If you two are done flirting, could you please tell what the hell is going on?" Simon suddenly stepped between them mid-conversation.
It wasn’t clear whether he was just annoyed at seeing how close the two were standing or if he genuinely wanted to know what was happening.
"That’s right, Lady Lana, please explain to us what’s going on."
"Why did we suddenly co here? What happened to our guild?"
"We’ve been attacked. In fact, we were expecting this attack. And before you ask—no, this isn’t from another guild. This attack is being carried out by soone who can, at this point, be considered an enemy of the entire country... and even the world."
"Then why are we running? Shouldn’t we be defending the guild?"
"My grandfather ordered to bring you all here if anything happened," she answered.
"This is ridiculous! We don’t even know what’s happening out there right now!"
Lana shrugged, then opened her inventory.
She searched through it for an item. It didn’t take long—after a few seconds, she found what she was looking for and pulled it out.
It was a sphere. A transparent, glowing sphere. She held it in her hand and looked into it, while the curious gazes of everyone else locked onto it.
"I want you to show the current state of the Everlight Moon guild," Lana whispered softly.
Everyone heard her whisper. Frowns appeared on their faces but quickly faded.
The sphere, upon hearing its owner’s whisper, suddenly began to glow intensely. The glow grew brighter by the second until a massive screen made of light appeared above them.
On the screen, their guild’s current state was shown, and it was far worse than any of them could have imagined.
"My god... who did this to our beloved guild?"
The main building had been split in two—not a normal split, but as if it had been cleaved down the middle with a single sword strike.
Flas consud the entire area, everything burning, the sky itself dyed red as if the world had been scarred.
In the streets, either people had fled or their corpses were strewn across the ground.
"Which bastard did this? Which son of a bitch dared to do sothing like this?" Simon growled coldly.
Even though the Everlight Moon guild wasn’t his ho, and he felt nothing for it—he was only here to gain experience—he was still here!
How could anyone dare to bring such destruction to this guild while he was present? His family would hear about this, and the bastard responsible would be torn to pieces.
Lana didn’t answer Simon right away. She first glanced at the pained and devastated faces of the guild mbers, let out a sigh, and then used the sphere to shift the view, scanning the area around their building.
Above the guild hall, in the sky, a handso middle-aged man stood, a sword in his hand.
"That’s him. That’s the one who attacked our guild."
