I started looking around. I was in a place similar to a Colosseum. A place where two guilds can fight each other. It looked like something from a history textbook. The place where you fought was covered in sand, and around it were tribunes.

"It's pretty big, isn't it?" Brian asked, after looking around.

Yeah, this place was big. It was likely made to contain tens of people. Well, this fight won’t be that big.  

"What, are you scared now? It's your fault to begin with." Imphi said to Brian, and he looked at her with angry eyes.

It's your fault too! Both of you are at fault!

"We shouldn't argue right now. I didn't want to do this, but if we need to, we should win this." FoXy calmed both of them down, and then looked at me.

"Do we have a plan?" she then asked.

Well, if I need to be honest we don't have a plan. After looking at both of our guilds, we decided to fight using only our best players.

Tainted Gods are smaller than us, and they don't have many high level players. Well, it's not like we have them too, so that's why only four of us will be fighting right now.

It's not like I wanted to fight them in the first place. I tried to calm the situation down, but there wasn't anything I could do, and when I thought about just declining their offer to fight, some of our guild members were too excited to see this fight.

I can see them in the tribunes right now, waving to us.

Anyway, for some reason there are a lot of people now looking at this fight. Of course, not even half of the places were taken, but still many people want to see this fight. It might be one of the first guild wars, but it doesn't really look like it.

"Are you listening to me?" FoXy asked me something one more time.

"Yeah, yeah. Just give me a moment." I replied and looked at our enemies.

It was a really small war. There was four of us, and four of them. Yeah, in our team there was FoXy, Brian, Imphi and me. In their there was this weird elf girl BIGPunch, this orc Rina, and two others. I couldn't really see their faces or their gear, because they were wearing coats, but both of them were small.

Anyway, I don't think they are just wearing them to show off. I don't think we should attack them blindly, it would be better to find out who is behind those clothes. If it's about this warrior and assassin, then we can just fight them like normal mobs. Low level players can't really use powerful spells, and we should just make sure that this elf won't make it to our backlines. I'm a little concerned about those glowing daggers.

"It's bad, because we have only one mele champion, and they have at least two, but I think you should be able to survive. I can heal you and cure poison, so if you could, you should take both assassin and warrior attacks on you FoXy." I said after thinking for a moment.

"Sure." FoXy just replied shortly.

"Brian and Imphi should attack assassin and warrior, while FoXy is taking damage. And I want you to do one more thing."

"What is it?" Brian asked, and Imphi looked at me puzzled.

"Try to hit those two in coats. It doesn't look like a normal item, so it should disappear when you hit them." I said, and both of them looked at me surprised.

Yeah, this item looked like something you could get in item-shop. Something you could get for real money.

"Just do it." I said, and then I looked at our enemies.

"Are you ready to fight!?" BIGPunch shouted, with a smile. She was far away, but I could still see her face.

"Yeah!" I said, and after that BIGPunch and Rina started running towards us. I casted all my buffs as fast as I could on FoXy, and then she started running towards our enemies.

They met in the middle, and FoXy clashed her weapons with Rina.

In this commotion BIGPunch tried to get away from them, and attack me, but FoXy used her taunt ability. When I knew that I was safe I started casting healing spells on FoXy.

After that Brian and Imphi used their offensive spells to attack BIGPunch and Rina, but something was weird. Everything went according to plan, but those two behind them didn't move at all. Not even a little.

"Something is weird." I said, after casting another healing spell.

When the taunt ended, both BIGPunch and Rina retreated because their HP was low. And then, something weird happened. I saw a little movement behind one of the cloaks, and then both of them were healed fully. It didn't even take one second for their HP to be restored.

"What?! Are you scared?!" BIGPuch shouted at us, and smiled.

It must have been an item-shop item. I don't think it’s against the rules, but it doesn't mean I don’t think it’s cheating. I was just a little angry.

"Brian, attack them when they run!" I shouted, and started running towards our enemies.

"O-Ok!" Brian just replied, and prepared to attack.

"Run?! Aren't you a little too confident?" this orc girl said, and pointed her big sword at me.

But I didn't care about her. The only thing I needed, was to attack those two behind her. I tried to dodge her attack, but I was still running, so I didn't manage to do it. Her hit took about quarter of my HP. I didn't wait to heal, instead I started running once again.

"What are you doing?!" this time, this assassin girl got before me.

I stopped, and pointed my staff to the sky. After that I used "Holy explosion". A spell that you get at 30 lvl, that damages all near enemies for small amount of hp.

As if they knew what I was doing, BIGPunch went to attack me, and both of those weird, cloaked people, started running. Well, I knew that I won't hit them with something like this, but Brian was only waiting for opportunity like this.

He used his "Rain of Arrows" to damage all of our enemies. When he did that, those weird cloaks disappeared.

"C-Cute." Brian then said for some reason.

When I looked where he was looking, I saw two Human girls. One of them was a Healer, and the other was a Hunter. They both had the same height, and the same hairstyle. The only thing that made them different was the color of their hair. They both had long, straight hair, but this Hunter girl  had a black hair, and this Healer had a white hair.

For some reason both of them were wearing the same item-shop clothes. And in addition, one of the most expensive ones.

"Why are they wearing maid uniforms?" Imphi asked, after looking at them.
