Aurora’s voice rang out like a delighted war bell, wings flaring dramatically as venomous mist drifted across the battlefield.
"Everyone follow us to the northern gate if you don’t want to die!" she announced cheerfully, far too cheerfully for someone warning three hundred thousand players about imminent mass poisoning.
Then, with a bright smile that did not match the apocalyptic scene behind her, she added. "Of course, anyone who has confidence in their poison resistance, feel free to stay back and enjoy the show!"
Her words hit the Blood Domain recruits like a lightning bolt. There was instantly more chaos. Everyone was well aware of Damon’s poison effect by now, thanks to the Blood Hall battle. No one wanted to sample it.
"I have zero poison resistance! Move!!"
"Bro, I can’t even handle food poisoning!"
"If you stay, here you’re a psychopath!!"
"Why is poison a show?!"
Kate also gave her command, making everyone rush. "Groups of thirty! MOVE NOW! Don’t step in the crimson puddles. Those are lethal!!" Players surged behind her like a tidal wave of panic.
Meanwhile, Aurora floated backwards elegantly, dark wings sweeping gracefully as she escorted the masses, like a celestial shepherd guiding terrified sheep, except she looked thrilled, as if front-row seats to Damon’s carnage were the highlight of her entire existence.
Behind them, the eastern wall continued to melt, corrode, and collapse under Damon’s poisonous rainfall. The entire skyline shimmered with red-green smoke, creating a scene so horrifying it looped back around into awe-inspiring.
Some brave recruits slowed down, glancing back with fascination.
"Dude... look at the wall..."
"It’s actually liquefying..."
"Is this even legal?!"
"I want to re-roll poison build NOW."
Aurora glanced over her shoulder and called out sweetly. "Anyone who stays too close and dies, don’t blame hubby! He’s in the zone!"
Kate groaned, dragging two players by their helmets before they tripped into a corrosive puddle. "Aurora," she said through clenched teeth, "STOP encouraging them to watch!"
"But it’s so pretty-"
"It’s a death cloud, not a firework show!"
"A very romantic death cloud."
"I swear to everything holy!"
The two women herded what was left of sanity as the Blood Domain army sprinted for the northern gate. When they arrived there, they were immediately met with another golden barrier.
Everyone instinctively turned towards the direction of their glorious guild leader, wondering if he was going to get over here to smash this one open as well, but to their shock, Aurora took the lead instead.
