Aeri grinned madly at Exile's foolishness as she quickly chased after them. The entirety of the Ragnarok Pantheon had stepped out of the safe zone! Many players screamed in delight as it became a mad dash to get out of the gates to try to claim their victims. However, Exile and the others were all smiling. This was what they were waiting for!
"Now!" Exile roared, as he quickly turned and braced himself.
Their enemies wore dazed expressions as they collided with Ragnarok, whose members had formed a circular wall that prevented too many enemies from getting out of Valheim. Aeri cursed as she drew a two-handed battleaxe from her inventory and struck Exile's shield! The latter tilted his shield arm, so the weapon slid along the face of his shield and struck the ground.
Exile laughed as he punched out with the rim of his shield and slammed it into Aeri's nose as she was off balance. She groaned as she tried to step back, but the throng of players behind her prevented her from going too far. Her eyes went wide as she looked around at the situation. Most of Ragnarok was losing ground due to being new to the Divine Realm, but she had a distinct feeling that something was wrong!
'Let's do this!' Exile roared savagely as he raised his axe to point at the crowd before him. Several others seemed to be thinking along the same lines as Aeri, but were unable to cast their spells. This was because of their allies in front of them. Their spells would not hurt them but at the same time, they blocked the path of the spells to any members of Ragnarok! Only those on the front line could attack them!
The head of Exile's axe glowed red with heat as he activated Cleansing Flame! Unlike the Divine Spells of his enemies, Cleansing Flame excelled in dealing with crowds. It was not a solid projectile type and instead washed over and around the frontline players to strike those behind them as well!

"Retreat!" Aeri screamed frantically from within the flames, but the surrounding players had already reacted.
Under the cover of Exile's flames and the retreating enemies, the other members of Ragnarok quickly gathered any orbs that fell from Exile's onslaught. He pursued the crowd as they rushed into the gap that the players still within Valheim created for them as they shrunk back from the flames. Most of the players who had chased them fell to the surprise attack and became bright motes of light.
The ones who survived either managed to enter Valheim in time or were Pantheon leaders with a decent amount of members. Aeri's body trembled in outrage at being embarrassed like that! As she turned to scream at Exile, she found him standing right in front of her! She flinched before she realised that both of them were now within the city limits again. But that just added more insult to injury!
Exile smirked as he glanced at the red players around them. 'Their numbers really did work against them...' During the chaos all of the members of Ragnarok managed to slip back in to safety while grinning madly. Each of them knew they had scored big with the amount of orbs they had managed to grab, but it would still be up to Exile how these would be divided.
"What's wrong Aeri? I thought you were going to bury us?" Exile raised an eyebrow as he spoke in a mocking tone. "All I saw was you running with your tail between your legs!"
Clay and the others burst out laughing as Aeri's face turned beet red in embarrassment. However, nobody on her side could blame her. They were not expecting such a move, and the spell that Exile had used was ludicrously devastating to them. Some of them began to find their voices and started to claim he was a cheater. But Aeri and the other Pantheon leaders knew better.
Most of them had hidden the details of their passive ability for being a King or Queen of a Pantheon from their members. The only thing that did not make sense to most of them was the fact that Exile had clearly used an elemental spell. Which was something they had never seen before. Aeri ground her teeth in frustration. This was the reason that she had wanted access to the shop and began this grudge with Exile in the first place.
The members of Kaleidoscope had found information about a powerful item and where they could find the Quest to get it. But by the time they turned up to the store, Exile had already been inside! Aeri cursed her bad luck as she imagined what she could do with such a spell. But that was now just a pipe dream.
Under the watchful eyes of those they had just taken advantage of, the members of Ragnarok boldly strode through the crowd while laughing. Needless to say, they had definitely made a lot of new enemies with their little stunt. But with the Civil War they were already enemies anyway. As far as they were concerned, they had made huge gains and lost nothing in the process.
The atmosphere was lively as they were eager to return to The Raider's Horn and divide the spoils. The new members let out sad smiles, as they were certain the majority of it would go to the original members. Exile chuckled as he saw their faces when he glanced over his shoulder.
"Don't look so glum." The corners of his mouth raised into a smirk as he addressed their new recruits. "Most of the orbs will be used to increase your stats over ours. You guys are the foundation of our Pantheon's strength. If you fall behind, then we won't have the support we need. Remember, Pantheon Online isn't like those other games you're used to. One person can't defeat entire armies of players here..."
