Chapter 238 : The Grand Guilds Meeting
Almost 14 days (IGT) had gone by since Sato and his team had failed to complete Xue Yan's trials after mistaking the kobold Chief for the world class boss. During this time, Riverdale, Black Mountain and the last neighbouring player town, Salt Springs town, all had major complications arising due to the after-effects of Black Grill's Demolition.
The Kobold king, who had led an army of kobolds up the lower floors[1], had seized control of the Middle region's first 10 floors. These floors were home to the much stronger monsters and as players' levels had already risen quite much, it became the most explored area of the entire cave due to the high levelled monsters. But with the Kobold king now forcing its way in and occupying the area, these floors became a danger zone filled with level 7-8 kobold. If one were unlucky, they would encounter a level 9 kobold guard or even worse, the Kobold king itself.
