Battle Ignites!

Hearing Kingserp's urgent call for help, Karthus was momentarily taken aback, his gaze naturally falling on John. 

He sneered, "You really are shameless, aren't you? Not only did you trick us at the auction, but now you dare to try and steal from Guild Leader Kingserp? And you've even roped in Adam and Blue Sea? You certainly have a wide network. But to think that just the three of you could take away the Key of the Saint? What a joke!"

John looked at Karthus with a calm demeanor, a hint of sarcasm curling at the corner of his mouth. 

"So it's Karthus. Quite the coincidence, though it's not surprising to see you heading back to the Dark Realm… So, you're here to help Kingserp?"

Karthus naturally stepped forward, positioning himself beside Kingserp. 

"Of course, the Shadowrealm Guild and Dawn Guild have always been allies. How could I possibly stand by when Guild Leader Kingserp is in trouble?"
