The female healer scrambled backward as she realized the Demon was advancing menacingly toward her.

"P-please…" she begged, "our Alliance is so vast, I haven't even seen my Leader's face… Please don't kill me…"

"Keke, find your leaders. Tell them I want GreenBlob. Then I will spare your life!" Dexter tapped her forehead with a demonic finger.

"I curse you! Fail my task, and you will die at midnight!"

Dexter laughed maniacally — not because of the chaos he'd unleashed outside the Crimson Tree Zone, but from the thrill of roleplaying as a Demon.

'If only I could truly curse her…'

With another thunderous roar, Dexter lunged at the hundreds of players before him.

His colossal size made him an easy target for long-range attackers, riddling him with countless wounds of varying severity. Were it not for the Demon God's Alliance healers focusing their magic entirely on him, Dexter would have succumbed to the relentless barrage.

"HA! HA! HA! HA!" Dexter roared with maniacal laughter even as he finally fell beneath the infinite onslaught.

"Resurrect!" Bright whispered.

The suicidal attack with invisible resurrection combo persisted.

"I AM BACK!"

Dexter spread his arms. Black miasma oozed from his demonic form as he slowly rose from the ground. His weapon shrank back into bracers, making him appear even more sinister. With a final chilling grin, he reduced his height and body mass.

'I can't attack properly if I'm bombarded from all sides.'

Dexter's new transformation drew screams of excitement from the Demon God's Alliance.

"Praise the Demon!"

True to his roleplaying persona, Dexter seized both of his long horns and snapped them off with a thunderous roar.

Golden blood cascaded from his forehead, flowing down his body as shimmering runes ignited wherever it touched.

"HA! HA! HA! Prepare to die, you idiots!"

He wielded the broken horn like a dagger. Though it functioned as a weapon, the bracers didn't register it as equipment since it was part of his body. This allowed him to morph the bracers into greaves that granted Haste and Teleportation abilities.

The Limitless Alliance hadn't anticipated the Demon could transform into something even more sinister. In the blink of an eye, dozens of tanks fell to his sudden attack — a blur of motion surpassing the speed of sound.

"F-fuck! Ru—" a healer's shout was cut short as Dexter stabbed his throat.

"This is fun..."

...

Meanwhile, inside the Limitless Alliance Hall...

Every Guild Leader was frantically sending messages and commands to their members when a female healer burst in without knocking.

BOI, who was preparing his combat gear, looked up at the sweaty, panting healer, her chest heaving.

"What is it this time?" he asked, his voice tight.

The healer composed herself. After taking a long, deep breath, she scanned the room and locked eyes with BOI.

"Th-the Demon said she would spare our lives…"

"And who's this Demon now?" BOI's irritable voice startled her.

"T-the D-demon outside! T-the one attacking us!"

BOI smashed the table again and jabbed a finger toward the trembling healer.

"GIVE ME THE FUCKING DETAILS, GODDAMNIT! CLEAR AND CONCISE! NOW!"

The healer flinched. Unused to being shouted at, and already panicked from delivering a report under a demon's death curse, his rage amplified her terror.

"H-he said he would spare our lives if we—" Her words cut off when BOI facepalmed so hard the smack echoed through the room.

"Can someone… please… handle her…" BOI growled, his voice dangerously low, "...before I kill her out of sheer frustration?"

BOI hadn't finished changing when he slumped back into his seat, resting his hands on his forehead.

"Fuck my seniors," he murmured, scratching his hair irritably. "I shouldn't have accepted this role after they graduated from this fucking tutorial… This last year is dragging on forever…"

After a long sigh, he turned his gaze toward the leader of the Happy-Go-Lucky Guild.

"Smiley. Get your fucking ninjas here. Now."

Smiley flinched at BOI's dangerously calm tone.

"As you wish…" He immediately began messaging his subordinates.

Minutes later, another Guild Leader approached BOI.

"BOI, that healer said the Demon — the cheater — wants GreenBlob. In exchange, he'll spare our lives."

"And who is GreenBlob?"

"A 3rd-Year Player. Shotcaller from Earth. Member of the Flame Dance Guild."

BOI tapped his forehead, licking his lips thoughtfully. After scratching his head, he barked:

"FireDemon! Come... One of your fucking members brought this disaster down on us. Got anything to say for yourself?"

...

"Defend the Gate!"

Thousands of players rained spells down upon the Demon God's Alliance's suicidal attackers. Healers frantically resurrected fallen comrades, and Dexter's unstoppable rampage had many convinced victory was imminent.

Though the Limitless Alliance's defenders still outnumbered the Demon God's forces, they proved powerless against the onslaught led by Dexter.

Dexter's kill count had already exceeded a hundred thousand. He systematically slaughtered all but the healers, driven by his relentless hunger for EXP. His combat mastery and specialization had maxed out long ago, yet the raw thrill of slaughter compelled him to fight on.

'Good thing I got these bracers. Otherwise, it'd take a thousand years to max out every piece of equipment…'

Minutes later, a long horn sounded across the battlefield.

Hundreds of Veteran players emerged from the Crimson Tree Zone to reinforce the last line of defense. Some rode Tier X Chaser Hawks circling the skies, all clad in gleaming Tier X equipment.

BOI, lazily perched atop a Tier X War Mammoth, gestured. Instantly, dozens of veteran players dragged GreenBlob forward.

"Kill me… Kill me… Kill me…" GreenBlob murmured, his voice hollow.

Dexter's roar died in his throat. He fixed his gaze on the newcomers from the Crimson Tree Zone.

"And who are you?" Dexter boomed, pointing at the nonchalantly seated BOI.

"I'm the Leader of the Limitless Alliance, and you?" BOI replied coolly.

"I am the Demon God's—" Dexter paused, scratching his head in mock confusion.

"God? Demon?" Then, fury erupted. "HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME!?"

Dexter's sudden accusation made BOI frown.

"I just fucking asked you, moron!" BOI shouted back, pulling his hair so hard it seemed like he might pull it out.

"I DON'T CARE! ATTACK!" Dexter roared, starting a new fight without any apparent reason."
