Gentle Flower began by establishing her assistants, casting Ent Guardian, Nature Sprites Summon and Dryad Sisters immediately. The next moment 5 giant tree men with strange wooden armor, as well as wooden greatswords and a wooden tower shield appeared on the battlefield.

｢Name: Ent Guardian (Gentle Flower) – Major Rank monster

Level: 150

HP: 35,760,000/35,760,000｣

They formed up around Gentle Flower rapidly to envelop her in a protective circle, their bodies larger than 9 feet in height. After that were the Nature Sprites, which were like little wisps from a certain game that would always annoy you with their high-pitched 'hey! listen!' over and over again.

6 Nature Sprites appeared beside her, and she waved her hand. They rushed forward and bound themselves to one Ent Guardian each, while the last one remained with Gentle Flower herself.

This was her battle strategy for most encounters and had seen success during the First Inter-player, international Competition, but now, there was a new element.

5 beautiful and alluring Dryads dressed in nothing but leaves, covering their nipples and vaginas, appeared on the stage. Every move they made revealed some taboo sights to the crowd, and many fellows couldn't help but have their faces harden, especially the ones in a relationship.

They became stoic monks who were not fazed at all, looking on calmly while their babes glared at them suspiciously from the side. As for the single fellows, they had far fewer scruples. Their boners were at attention and ready to greet the world!

The Dryads giggled at the trouble they cause and surrounded Gentle Flower intimately, coiling around her in questionable ways. With Gentle Flower's already moving beauty, this formed a sight that many fellows couldn't help but capture with their video recording and picture tools silently.

Gentle Flower displayed a helpless expression, but couldn't do anything. They were precisely called Dryad Sister because they were spiritually like sisters to her, so she couldn't berate them for their clinginess.

As long as one ignored this 'flaw' of theirs, the Dryads were ready to fight and could heal as well as buff all her allies, from the Ents to the Nature Sprites. Still, Gentle Flower knew this would not be enough to even faze someone like Shadowheart, so she went all out and cast her newest skills at once!

Critter's Avalanche!

Nymph Form!

The first skill created a small scale forest around Gentle Flower, which rumbled greatly. Soon hundreds of rats, mice, rabbits, insects, snakes, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, and badgers rushed out of the forest in huge waves, squeaking hissing or squealing as they charged at Shadowheart who still stood calmly.

Gentle Flower herself went from her usual clean sundress to a sexy vine dress that covered her various parts thinly. She was no better dressed than the Dryads around her and they acted excited by the fact that their sister had shed her pretentious coating to release her 'true self'.

This form lowered her offensive power, but greatly increased her supportive capabilities. Immediately, she and the other Dryads began buffing the critters as a whole, then the Ent Guardians and the Nature Sprites, before even shamelessly buffing themselves!

Shadowheart, who had been quietly allowing this to happen, suddenly smiled.

"This may not be a turn based game, but for the sake of propriety, these battles turn out this way. Now that your turn is over, I guess it's time for mine? Good."

Shadowheart raised his staff and pointed forward.

"Rain of Embers."

From an inclined angle in the sky, hundreds of small smoldering embers fell like rain, covering the entire arena in their heat. The critters that were charging forth valiantly screamed and shrieked in agony as they were unilaterally burned to death, not even leaving bones behind on the stage.

Gentle Flower's face changed as she and the Dryads created a forest of tress and leaves around them, but they burned down as fast as they were built up, turning into ash that floated along with the wind. This forced 3 Dryads to expend great amounts of mana to sustain the defense.

They did not even dare to let their Ent Guardians rush forth to stop Shadowheart, as the damage these small bit of embers were doing was nonsensical. This was just one of the lowest level fire spells that had been modified and magnified by Shadowheart, becoming a large scale spell.

Boosted by his high magical stats and various class passives that boosted magical damage crazily, the effect was like this. Even Shadowheart was a bit surprised by his raw power, but also disappointed by Gentle Flower's weakness.

Wasting any more time would be less respectful and more insulting now that both sides knew the gap was this large. As such, Shadowheart directly used a Giant Fireball spell - which was modified by him again - and sent the huge ball of flame hurtling towards Gentle Flower's group.

The female Guildmaster only had time to display an expression of horror before the fiery explosion enveloped her and her summons, instantly turning them all to ash and sending her to respawn.

Most of the core members were silent, sighing in their hearts. Everyone knew that this was farcical, and that the competition should have been split into two divisions, one for Legendary Classes and one for Divine Classes, or bloodline holders.

Still, their mutual respect for each other and their close bond made it such that they were unwilling to draw the line so deeply. That was what led to this sad scene recurring whenever two opponents of different power levels met.

Shadowheart left the stage calmly, nodding to Gentle Flower who respawned by the side. Gentle Flower could only smile bitterly and bow in thanks for his consideration.

12th Battle: Shadowheart wins!

13th Battle: Rambunctious Buttlover vs Silent Walker, begin!

RamButt jumped onto the stage with a wide and malicious grin, facing off against the slightly scared but stoic Silent Walker. Despite both of them having Legendary Classes, it was clear that RamButt's aura was suppressing Silent Walker, which surprised many newer core members.

They were even more baffled when Sublime hurriedly distributed an item that Armonia had crafted after the First Inter-Player International Competition.

｢Binding Rods – Set Equipment (2piece)

Rank: Legendary

Effect;

- With 2 pieces equipped: +200% Apathy｣

The newer core members like Misery, AP_Berzerker and the God Serpents were baffled when they received this, but decided not to go against the crowd and wore it. They wondered just how bad it could be that such fear was instilled in the hearts of older core members?
