269 4th day Conquered!        

As the dust settled, the chaotic battlefield revealed an unsettling absence. 

Gilbert was nowhere to be found. 

A collective search ensued, avatars darting through the landscape, desperately seeking any trace of their lost comrade. 

However, to their growing dismay, Gilbert's character was now marked as "offline," the cold realization sinking in that he had met his demise.

The sole notion that crossed the mind of everyone was whether the toll Gilbert had to pay for employing such a skill was the reason of his demise. 

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to diminish the Wormgod's HP with such a strike without any corresponding sacrifice.

Everyone echoed with a somber stillness as the guild members grappled with the sudden loss of one of their own who they didn't expect had a hidden ace up his sleeve.
