Lukas and the other members of team 6 had finally returned. They exited the room, with Sivanthe in the lead. They left the Linrad Guild hall and made their way towards a van. There was a driver already waiting for them in the van, so they just filed into the van. Of course, Eipi sat beside Lukas.The van drove out of the Guild premises, gaining speed as it did so. After a while, Lukas noticed that the van was speeding past desolate areas, with their lands looking barren and destroyed.Although Eipi couldn't see Lukas expression because of the mask he wore, he was sure that Lukas was curious about the desolate and barren lands."I bet you never knew that such areas existed." Eipi started.Lukas turned over to him and nodded his head. Although Eipi could be annoying at times, he couldn't deny the amount of knowledge he had concerning things like this."Well I don't know all the details, but I'll tell you what I know." Eipi said, before clearing his throat."Long ago; and I mean very lon

It had been three hours since their encounter with the blue carits, and since then they had encountered a considerable amount of monsters on their journey.They had fallen into a routine, using the strategies and formations Sivanthe mapped out for them to fight the monsters they had come across. Sometimes it was the physically gifted classes that fought, and sometimes it was the magically gifted classes that fought. Any injuries obtained from such fights were quickly treated by the healers. It was a convenient but effective method.Lukas and Eipi had yet to be involved in any fights, as their teammates quickly took care of any monster they came across with seamless teamwork and effective joint attacks. Unlike Eipi and Lukas who were new to the team, the team members had been fighting together for a long time, so their teamwork was naturally fluid.Lukas and the team were currently resting again. The team had just finished taking care of a group of green furies, a servant type class of

“Mercury Magic; Mercury Shield!”A beautiful silver shield emerged from a silver magic circle and blocked the incoming attack of the tree monster.CLANG!Lukas moved back again from the force of the attack, but this time, he was not just on the defensive. “Mercury Magic; Mercury Spear!”Another gigantic silver magic circle formed at his back, and three stunning silver spears emerged from the circle. They flew at a fast speed and impaled themselves again on the trunk of the tree monster, bypassing its flimsy defense.CRACK!Lukas smirked. He wasn’t done yet. The constant training he did on his mana control had begun to pay off. Now he was able to change the state of his element at will.He changed the state of his spears embedded in the trunk of the monster from solid to liquid, making them penetrate the wounds they inflicted on it. As for why he did that, the reason was obvious.His element was poisonous.Instead of allowing it to heal, the poison from his element would attack the mo

They started moving again in the still scorching heat, walking swiftly across the dry red grounds.This time around, they were more careful when looking for places to rest. Their rest time also significantly reduced, and they took care of monsters swiftly and effectively.Lukas and Eipi were not offered any opportunities to fight, but unlike before, the stares directed at them, particularly Lukas, were friendly. The only exception was Gures, but Lukas could care less.Maintaining their fast speed, they rapidly swept through the dungeon, killing monsters as swiftly as they could.After 3 hours of incessant killings and resting, they finally came to stop in front of a huge cave.“This is the lair to the boss monster of this F-ranked dungeon. When we kill it, a portal will open, and we’ll be free to leave this place.” Sivanthe said, explaining the rules to the newbie hunters among them.Lukas and Eipi nodded their head in response to his explanations.“We’ll take a 20 minute break here,

Lukas stood still after unleashing another third tier spell. He was very glad that he had broken through and learnt the third tier spell of his element. If this fight had happened when he only had two spells in his arsenal, then he would have very little chance of winning.Gures blocked all three spears this time with surprisingly good skills. As someone who could be labeled a veteran hunter, it was no wonder that he was able to block Lukas’ attacks. At first, Lukas attacks might look threatening, but to a veteran like Gures, they were nothing worth mentioning. One could easily tell that he had no experience when going up against hunters.Gures didn’t wait for Lukas to cast another spell again. He dashed forward at a frightening speed, and got close to Lukas. He swung his sword vertically, aiming to decapitate Lukas and end the fight at once.However, Lukas was a step ahead of him.“Mirror Casting; Mercury Shield!”CLANG!The ring on his index finger let out a dull shine, and a magic
