Later, the fearsome guilds "Congregation of the Holy Swords" and "Kingdom of the Flame Emperor" appear to challenge the abnormality of Maple Tree. The losing ones will cry!

Maple's guild, Maple Tree, gets new members, friends and skills, challenging guilds into battle in the fourth event. With over a hundred large guilds, top guilds Congregation of the Holy Swords and the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor are also participating in the war against each other.

They discover some amazing scenery and even take commemorative photos, but then Maple comes across a girl with lightning-based skills. Apparently, she's the guild master of an up-and-coming new guild and intends to knock Maple Tree off their pedestal!
