Chapter 583

1000’s of kilometers to the north, an outdated man with lengthy white hair and a beard speaks below his breath, simply loud sufficient for his two disciples to listen to.

“This new rising nation is robust. The Affiliation and Demons will not be the one forces we have to carry on our radars. We must always be careful for his or her rising warriors as soon as the throne awakening turns into lively.”

They sit atop the tallest mountain within the space, coated in snow, surrounded by a whole bunch of mountains that look precisely the identical in each course.

The 2 youthful males at his sides, with severe expressions on their faces, watch a replay of the battle of Crimson Metropolis on repeat, utilizing brilliant blue recording crystals.

One among them, who seems barely older and taller than the opposite disciple, replies to the outdated man.

“Instructor Sil, I’ve a query. The preventing model utilized by the serpent and tiger warriors… It is rather much like our personal. How may they’ve discovered it?”

The outdated man’s eyes glow with a brilliant yellow mild, and the identical vitality intensifies in his chest because the air round them grows heavier, as if bending actuality.

“That’s none of your concern. Nevertheless, it appears I will want to go to the desert temple quickly. There have to be a cause for this.”

The 2 disciples’ eyes glow with orange mild, their complete our bodies radiating with pure white Qi. It blends in with the high-speed winds and heavy snow atop the mountains because the older man turns off the recording, and the three of them return to meditating and persevering with their coaching.

1000’s of kilometers south, a lady floats excessive within the sky above an lively volcanic area.

Beneath her, a whole bunch of C and B-ranked dungeons type and break, as it’s an on a regular basis incidence right here.

She rides atop an infinite Earth Dragon, watching the identical video on a recording crystal play in her hand.

Each her eyes and the dragon’s eyes glow brilliant yellow, shimmering off the metallic Hunter’s Affiliation badge on her shoulder.

She whispers below her breath with a smile as she zooms in on the 2 A-Class hunters being defeated in seconds.

“The 8 Areas Department has grown smooth, hasn’t it…? Our A-Class hunters may have dealt with that battle… However it’s clear that wasn’t even their true chief… Who and the place are you, Flame Emperor?”

The lady grins whereas placing away the recording. An eruption of a volcano goes off within the distance, and he or she prompts a stealth talent, making herself and the dragon she’s driving invisible in the identical second.

Half a minute later, she flies over dozens of fortified, castle-like navy bases hidden in valleys between lively volcanic mountains.

In the meantime, again in Sector 2, my physique doubles compensate retailers which have broken items and clear up town whereas giving a speech, exhibiting that the true enemies of this assault are the 8 Nice Areas.

Public sentiment is already closely anti-Affiliation right here within the Darkish Continent, so with the small quantity of proof I’ve, exhibiting residents the confiscated badges and the ear and eyewitness accounts of the give up message from the transmission tablets is greater than sufficient for phrase of right this moment’s occasions to unfold.

A lot so, that over the subsequent week, town’s development skyrockets, including over 500 new members to the hyperlinks of loyalty.

Phrase of the brand new buying and selling hub in Sector 2 providing jobs, financial assist, and the navy skill to fend off two A-Class hunters with ease travels far and vast.

—

All of those recollections come speeding into my thoughts as the identical A-Class hunters that attacked my metropolis search me with their battle scars seen.

The wind person pulls a glowing purple fruit from the merchandise field I supplied him, and everybody within the room focuses on it with confused and combined expressions.

When he appears me within the eyes, I can see they’re far completely different than they have been for the transient second I noticed him in the course of the 4th stage event.

Then, he could have appeared disinterested within the mundane weaklings preventing for his or her B-Class badges, however behind these chilly eyes was unwavering confidence.

Now, he stares forward, and I really feel an aura of unease about him.

“That is about it…”

I shrug and level to the Lich King by my aspect.

“Emrie climbed the mountain afterward, however we did not wish to push ourselves too onerous. Making it out by means of the rift was extra necessary than risking getting eradicated for extra factors. It appears this technique labored out greatest in the long run.”

Emrie crosses his arms and nods alongside, then the 2 guards get a transmission of their ears once more.

They end patting us down shortly and provides us again our merchandise bins with out the divine artifacts inside.

A door opens within the aspect of the room, and the hearth person speaks up as they each stroll out.

“Everybody, keep put. We’re glad you’ve got all made it out of the simulation safely, however that is an surprising abrupt finish to the exams. Please permit us a second to speak issues over with the Director.”

The door shuts simply as he finishes speaking, and the room fills with chatter.

I stroll over to Nat, Marcie, and Dane; and inform the manifestation of Emrie to observe with telepathy, filling him in on the truth that we’re inside a testing facility, outlining orders to observe whereas he is in his command mode.

The three of them greet us whereas the healer makes their rounds to all the newly transported candidates, however contemplating we’re all being watched, they obtain a telepathy message to remain quiet too till that is throughout.

After a couple of minutes move, the identical door that the A-Class hunters left by means of opens once more. To my shock, Rodrigo steps by means of it with an amused smile throughout his face whereas holding a big silver pill that resembles a clipboard.

“In case your title just isn’t lit up on the board, I will must ask you to depart the room… I am afraid you haven’t made the reduce.”

On the similar time, seven hunters stroll in by means of the door that Rodrigo simply entered by means of.

The primary three that enter are hunters that I anticipate: the 2 Vice Area candidates, and the Phantom Area’s single applicant.

Nevertheless, the subsequent two are the Battle Healer, Mack, and the Water Mage Callum, who have been eradicated early within the assemble by my teammates.

The ultimate two are the 2 candidates from the Veridian Area that managed to get their palms on one purple core every throughout their time within the assemble. Brilliant smiles mild up their faces as they understand why they’re being introduced into this room.

The remaining B-Class Elite helpers escort everybody that has failed the exams out of the room.

They have been most probably on the prime of the leaderboard earlier than this occasion, and it appears there have been healers and an appraisal talent person which have already checked on Trax’s situation, regardless that he is handed out.

Forces behind the scenes have already decided that he’s a far much less beneficial asset now, and have adjusted the leaderboard accordingly.

Because the final of them depart, the door closes, leaving solely Rodrigo and the 12 of us which have handed within the small mana-shielded dice. The leaderboard display screen proven on the ceiling disappears fully, and a video seems.

It reveals a darkish, empty room with a single oval desk within the middle of it.

One determine in a darkish cloak sits on one of many chairs, whereas all the others are empty.

The video pans nearer to the determine as he raises his head, and a pair of golden eyes look by means of the display screen.

An eerie strain fills all the room as they glow brilliant golden with seen Soul Power, in addition to a transparent addition of heavy yellow mild aiding his energy.

Shadows cowl the remainder of his face, and the darkish cloak makes the remainder of his determine unknown apart from the truth that he is abnormally tall.

A yellow core is seen glowing in his chest, however the golden eyes are the primary spectacle as they stare down in any respect of us by means of the display screen.

His low monotone, virtually robotic voice echoes all through the room.

“It’s a pleasure to satisfy you all, future B-Class Hunters of the Affiliation. I’m the Director of the Apex Area, however beginning now, chances are you’ll name me Mr. Freeman.”
