2024-10-29 19:42:56The veteran squad was the most elite front line squad of the hunters.
They were a part of the warrior unit of the hunters which consisted of the best close up combat ability users and ranged ability users.The warrior unit consisted of range ability and close up combat fighters, depending on the mission, it could be a mixture of both department or just one.
It looked like the warrior unit would be going out on a hunt today as they were all seen sharpening blades and gearing up rather than training.
This in a way gave Yang an idea.What other way to give the guests a tour of the hunters faction than to carry them on a hunt.
He walked up to one of the men standing around taking a swing of his long blade while the others were selecting weapons from behind him.
"Say how would you like to get an additional boost to your squad today ..I mean it sure looks like you could use some help".
The man he was talking to right now was called Zayn. He was the team captain of the E ranked squad within the warriors unit. The thing is, depending on how much beast cores you brought back and level of beast you encounter, the more rewards you get in rankings and coins.
Right now Zayn and his crew are next to the lowest ranked unit the, F unit. This is not only because his squad had weaker members compared to the average higher ranked unit but because they had poor equipment and sorts to begin with.So the idea of having extra team mates wasn't exactly bad, the only worrying thought he had on his mind was how the reward from the hunt was going to be shared since it would barely be enough for his original crew in the first place.
And as if Yang could read his mind, chimed in to his thought...
" Everything would be fine!...remember they are only teens and don't boast that much strength or experience. How much contribution can they make? " Yang said with an awkward smile attached to the end of his statement.What Yang was hinting at was the old hunting rule where he who gets the last hit, gets to take the cores out and this idea just sounded enticing to Zayn as he thought what could possibly go wrong
..." I'd order my team to allow this stupid teens weaken the beast then we'd get the kill".. Zayn thought to himself feeling nothing could go wrong so he welcomed the idea.
Yang walked back to the group grinning as ever like someone who had won a lottery..
" I finally found the best way to show you guys around..... By sending you hunting with a squad in the hunters"
"Mr Zayn over here.." He gestured with his hand making them look over at the man he just finished talking to... "will be your squad leader".
This all came as a surprise to them. But they knew little about how the traditions around here worked and just thought to go with the flow of things. Besides none of them wanted to anger the one who had saved them and neither were they ready to pass off the opportunity of gaming a few beast cores.
While they waited around to get their gears as instructed by Yang to be given to them, looking off to the side was Blair who noticed that there had been one member of the squad who had not said a word since they've been together, so he thought to himself ..." Hey maybe she's a little shaken up from the game Lord event that happened earlier.."'... So he made up his mind to go to her rescue.
He gently walked up to the lady who went by the name Blaze, a dark haired lady who originally belonged to the faction that Erwin, the red haired boy belonged to. These were the last five that had joined in on the event of the lava rain.
"Hey there,I'm Blair..I noticed you a.."...
"Noticed what?" Blaze asked almost immediately cutting Blair off. The latter who was a little shocked by her behavior decided a different approach ...
"So what's your ability... grabbing my attention? "...Blair said with a smog look feeling he had nailed the line there..The female on the other hand just looked at him for some seconds before replying
"What do you want from me". And on hearing this, Blair felt like this was his chance so he immediately went in again to try to look good..
"I just wanna know you ...you know ..we become friends and I'll make sure to protect you from any beast we might encounter.." And as the gist got to the female a smile appeared on her face which to his surprise, it actually seemed like his little flirting had worked. But things were about to go sour as the girl smiled and looked at him before saying...
"Oh don't worry, i don't need protection from the beast ...but they surely do from me"...and almost instantly it felt like Blair was imagining it but he could see smoke coming off her hands as she turned around with her black long hair flowing down to her waist seemingly in resonance with her majestic yet fearsome steps.And at that point all Blair had to say was ....
" DAMN...SHE'S FIRE"....

If one was to describe the Hunter's faction base with one word, it would be "smooth". At the warriors department one could see the veterans preparing to go for a hunt."Hey Rodney ...have you packed all your supplies"...Mia asked Rodney with a smile that just didn't suit the question..."Yes.."...Rodney answered bluntly and left to move to another area. Looking at what the teenager just did now, one would think he was rude but as a matter of fact he was worried and had no time to entertain pleasant exchanges." That preacher ....he called me the SHADOW KNIGHT"...he thought to himself as he couldn't just seem to get the thought out of his head.

One of the reasons hunters were advised to stay close and keep communication was because of situations like this, where a small weak team would encounter something tougher than they could handle.Right now the legion merged up with the hunters "E UNIT" to go out on a hunt. And this unit is being led by captain Zayn, a tall muscular man in his early thirties who wields a shovel like weapon."OK guys ...we might not be able to handle this one...but I already called in informing them about the current situation...so we just gotta try to hang on until help arrives"...Even as these very words left his mouth he wasn't sure he believed himself that they could last talk more of the team he led."We've gotta help Blair"...Mia shouted..And almost instantly one of the men from the original "E UNIT" led by Zayn had swooped into action running past everyone so quick it startled them all..The man who had just ran past them was "Senior Jake", as he would like to be called.

It was safe to say the gang wasn't fairing too well against the king tier beast. Its agility and power no doubt outclassed them by far. “Get ready Corey "!!!Erwin said .. Corey shouted back in response “Ready!"And just as Corey affirmed, Erwin let out four lightning bolts faster than the initial one he threw at the beast who in turned reacted by making slashes in the air. They didn't need to to get out of the way but they did anyway, as the thunder bolts met with the beast's attack, it canceled out each other for the first time.

They had all received the last notification at the same time and it confused them a bit. But one person wasn't at all shocked by this. This might have been the first time the others were getting a demon reference but for Rodney, this was just another proof that some voice in his head wasn't lying at all. Nonetheless, they couldn't standby and think about the quest handed to them by the system, they had a plan to finish. And this plan was very simple.After realizing who the three outside cell were, they knew playing on their intelligence would be a walk in the park and they weren't wrong about that as they had managed to get them excited enough to actually fall for their perfectly laid trap. And this trap was in form of Corey, the boy with the green hair packed in a ponytail. "In five to ten seconds you will all be on the floor" Corey said to the three in his cage torturing him. For one this came as a surprise to Orin, Tuffy and akira. They hadn't expected the sleeping substance to f

The plan had begun right from the moment Akira made that slip up by giving out their identities. It wasn't head scratcher from then on what they needed to do. The only missing item in their plan was communication, and that was where a certain annoying voice came through for Rodney."You know the Rings are bonded to your DNA right?" Gypson said to Rodney. He had been silent for a while listening to all the plans Rodney was simulating in his head and they all came down to getting the others to play along. Each time he came to that stop, he would restart the plan to see how he could eliminate the others out of it and just go solo. But it seemly looked like he wouldn't be able to do this one on his own."Yes, what has that got to do with what's happening right now" Rodney asked as he wasn't too keen to give room for any distractions. He felt like he had gotten them all into this by asking them to surrender. And now wasn't the time for a chit chat with the voice in his head. "So, all you

A mistake
"I knew you guys had something to do with what happened to us that day!!". Erwin said with veins popping out of his head. It was obvious he was livid at this point and he had all right to be. He and the team were deceived by the trio outside the cell, drugged and stolen from. Even if all this weren't crime enough, the fact that these trio had the guts to come before them still had just done it for Erwin. He yanked on his chain hard trying to break free to get to the trio outside all to no avail."Calm down you all. If it makes you feel any better, we had you poisoned twice. But somehow you guys managed to ignore the effects of the second one. If you guys had just gone down then, we would have come silently to pick you up and there will be no need for the whole drama that went down today" Tuffy explained."And to think the dose was double of what was given initially" Akira added What he said made sense to the group as some days earlier, they had received a special notification like th

Toxin immunity
*Bing*[Substance effect reversed][Immunity developed]"Urgh..what the...where am i. And what's holding me?" Rodney said as he found he was unable to move his limbs freely. He was only just waking up and the first thing he noticed was that he was in a dimly lit space with metal bars standing and serving as some type of wall separating each segment of what he was in now, a cage. He looked at himself and could see that he was chained up to the wall. Both his legs and arms to that effect, limiting his movement to a great degree. As if that wasn't enough, he could feel a slight pricking pain at the side of his rib and multiple places on his back. When he looked down at his ribs, he could see why. The toxic sharp thorns from Damien earlier were still stuck inside of him. But with the way he was restricted, there was no way he could pull it out of him. But that was the least of his worries at the moment as a scary thought entered his mind when he realized something."Guys!!.. Guys!!.." He

After deactivating their abilities, they all turned to each other looking at one another before proceeding to raise both their arms to show mutual agreement. On seeing their action, the man in charge turned to his men and ordered that they made way for the boys to pass. And without hesitation, a path was cleared almost instantly for the boys. The man turned to look at the boys once more signalling their path had been made and they were now to walk through now."Let it be known that one wrong move and my little friend here might just have all your men here kill themselves" Blair threatened. But this wouldn't faze the man as he had had it up to here. Without thinking he blurted out his own threat back at the group of boys."This is only a temporary truce. My team and I won't hesitate to chop down any opposition if sited". If there was any hope of things calming down between the two parties, it was certainly thrown out of the window. As now the pressure was now more mounted between both

Mia and Blaze were currently being escorted by five men who all had their hands on the hilt of their weapons. They weren't going to take any chances as word had gotten to them about the chaos that was ongoing at the male's lodge. The girls seeing their action, could only imagine what the boys were doing now. If not anything, they both had one name on their mind that could single handedly cause all the chaos needed in the blink of an eye."If you are not going to tell us what we did, can you atleast tell us where we are being taken to?" Mia asked the closest to her of which she got no reply as the only thing the man had in response to her question was a deep grunt. Minutes later, she could see the answer to her question up ahead. This was a place both girls remembered quite well, even if they had only been there once.Meanwhile at some other part of the faction, particularly the males lodge, the chaos was yet to settle. Currently anybody who would happened to walk around and stumble o

Too strong for chains
Back at the girls room, Blaze and Mia weren't experiencing any more kind gestures kindness and love that the boys lacked. In fact, they both had four of the same men that were in the boy's room currently in their room as well. And just like the boys, these men hadn't knocked nicely and asked that they should be allowed in. They had simply forced their way in by breaking the door quite easily and effectively. "You know these four?" Blaze asked."Know them, you're the crazy one. I was thinking they came over because you invited them. Now I'm kind of wishing you did invite them. Please be you who called them over...". Mia began to chant but that didn't last long as it was put to an abrupt stop by the commanding voice of one of the men. And just like to the others, the two girls were immediately debriefed on what was going on and asked for their cooperation." You haven't told us what we have done wrong just yet" Blaze said with a straight face. Usually she wasn't one to go out looking

Ordered arrest for...?
[Equipment detected][Would you like to equip]. Yes/No[Would you like to brand]. Yes/NoThis were the notifications that popped up the moment Rodney's fingers had grazed the equipment. The equipment Rodney saw right now was almost similar in appearance to the beast he fought back at the jungle. Only this time, this was just a mere item and at the end couldn't pose any threat or potentially be capable of ending his life, at least not in his own hands.What got him the most was the fine details the item he had touched had. This item in particular was a chest piece that had green scales on it and extended all the way to his shoulder. The outer texture was a testament to the beast it had come from as straight away Rodney could tell it was the peak intermediate beast he last killed. This was because the chest piece had scales that were red and it definitely looked sturdier than the other two items remaining.Yes, there were two more items laid out that he hadn't touched yet.

Unveiling
Rodney now made his way to the dojo, the special place he and Yang would train. And as he walked over to the place, he had a lot on his mind. The new information he had just gotten from Gypson who is meant to be his guide terrified him a great deal. He just couldn't wrap his head around it all. Although the concept behind how Gypson had gotten into his head and what he meant by him saying he was his guide was still yet unclear to Rodney. But he didn't get the chance to ask anything on it as the current thing that occupied his mind had overshadowed the other thoughts making them look to be only trivial."How is this possible...so I'll never able to lead a normal life after all this ends?" Rodney thought to himself as he continued on walking. Being a demon has never been among the things he has fantasized. A zombie maybe or even a vampire but never a demon. This was even more disturbing due to the fact that he couldn't talk to the one person he would usually go to for advice when things
