The System announcement of their raid achievement was announced three times.
Initially, the members of Gentle Wind were still in disbelief and shock that they actually defeated the Inferno Tyrant.
However, with the loud announcement of the System resounding three times in a row, they finally realized the accomplishment they had done.
"Sheesh, we actually defeated the Hell Mode Difficulty!"
"Number 1, we're definitely the number 1 guild currently!"
"Hahaha, who dares to say they're better than us now? If they dared to, then I want to see them complete a Hell Mode difficulty in such a level!"
As the members loudly cheered and started hugging each other for their achievement, Gentle Wind seemed to be in a daze. She was not stunned by the achievement but seemed more occupied by something else in her mind.
Suddenly, she felt a light tap on her right shoulder. Turning around, she realized it was Autumn Breeze.
"Heh, now that you made such an achievement, I doubt your path will be rocky anymore." Autumn Breeze smiled gracefully, void of her previous childish and amateurish demeanor.
"Indeed, the gamble paid off big time." Gentle Wind smiled in response, having made a sneak glance at Xu Feng.
"I just wonder what kind of person could command such a fearsome man." She mumbled.
Toward this question, Autumn Breeze held a helpless smile as well.
"I've been trying to investigate this Lin Feng person, but to no avail. All I know is that the person behind him is formidable… to be willing to give up this kind of achievement to others who are definitely not simple people."
"If it were so easy to investigate, then we wouldn't be having a headache now."
"Well, let's forget about that and savor your victory. I'm sure you wouldn't let this great opportunity go, right?" Autumn Breeze chuckled softly.
Curling her lips upward, Gentle Wind's smirk alone was enough to indicate that she was definitely not going to be foolish and not bask in such glory.
As these two women were discussing among themselves and distributing the rewards, outside the dungeon, everyone went into an uproar.
"H-H-How is this possible?" Herald Fist stuttered in disbelief.
He nearly tripped himself as he staggered backward, clearly not expecting the sudden system announcement.
"That's Hell Mode Difficulty level! The Easy Mode Difficulty was gruesome enough, so just how did Gentle Wind and her Silver Guild achieve it?" He shouted, his expression alternating between anger and astonishment.
Given the fact that Gentle Wind entered the dungeon with only her members, the system made an announcement of their guild as well, with the members being listed later on.
As Herald Fist became frustrated, the others were more astonished by the feat of Gentle Wind.
"As expected of my Goddess Gentle Wind~"
"I know right. The goddess is just on another level. Before entering, she even announced that she would get the first-clear achievement of hell mode. Now look at it, she has done it!"
"No, I cannot idle here. I need to apply to the Silver Wind Guild right now! It's the best guild currently."
"Indeed, it's way better than the tyrannical and usually arrogant Tyrant Fist Guild who are all bark and no bite!"
Players began dissing Herald Fist and his guild mercilessly. After all, with the system announcement, it was undeniable proof that Herald Fist had been beaten by Gentle Wind.
Meanwhile, one person stood in a daze, his vision focused on the members list.
'I did an investigation after knowing Guild Leader Gentle Wind was going to tackle Hell Mode, so I recognized most of the players here. Their username didn't change at all, but who is Lin Feng? There's no data on him.' OneManMedia thought to himself, feeling the event was somewhat fishy.
Nearly everyone on the list was a regular and known member of Gentle Wind's guild in other games as well, yet the username Lin Feng had never shown up once.
This clearly meant three possible situations.
Lin Feng was a regular member who decided to have a change of username.
Lin Feng was someone who recently got promoted to be in the elite reserve.
And lastly, Lin Feng was an outsider and merely joined the guild temporarily.
Out of the three possibilities, OneManMedia had a feeling that it was the last situation.
For such an important raid, he doubted Gentle Wind would choose someone who recently got promoted. Additionally, changing a username was quite unlikely once you and your comrades got used to the name.
Hence, leaving the possibility of Lin Feng being an outsider, and most likely the key factor in their success.
Of course, it was a far-fetched hypothesis, but OneManMedia felt he was on the right track.
While everyone was holding their own thoughts, multiple bright lights shone in the entrance.
The atmosphere instantly turned silent as everyone held their breath, their gazes locked on the dungeon entrance as players began emerging.
The first person in revelation was Gentle Wind, followed by Autumn Breeze, Steelshot, and the rest of the members.
"Goddess Gentle Wind!!!"
"I want to join the Silver Wind Guild!"
"Ahhh~ my heart is about to faint!'
Almost everyone cheered loudly once they noticed her presence, clearly enthusiastic about her glorious return.
'Tsk, I've lost all face and money this time!' Herald Fist gnashed his teeth, giving Gentle Wind one final glance before leaving hastily. He was afraid of losing his cool and starting an attack against her, which would definitely result in their reputation to suffer heavily.
Meanwhile, Gentle Wind was filled with joy upon seeing the high enthusiasm cheers and how many requested to join her guild.
Waving her hand and smiling cheerfully in response to the crowd, Gentle Wind announced gracefully.
"Thank you, everyone, for your cheers and praises! I'm glad to hear of your enthusiasm to join our guild, and happy to announce that we will start our guild recruitment in a few days. For further information, feel free to visit our websites or Game Forum where we will post the instructions."
