Chapter 508 Part 1: Investigation



From MC\'s perspective:

"We are going to enter Monster Zone. If you are free, you can join us," Laverne asked. Last time, Zack rejected their invitation. Since Michael is not here, she is hoping that Zack would agree.

"No," I replied.

"I have some other work to do for the time being. So I\'ll contact you when it\'s needed," I said 

Ernest frowned. But it can\'t be helped. They can\'t force Zack to agree. Then the duo left the dining hall.

Seeing they\'re disappearing back, I sighed inside. Actually, it would be fun to join forces with them. But I don\'t want to reveal my cards this early.

10 minutes later,

I walked out of the dining room. Then I took large strides towards the monster facility. Shortly after, I walked into the place. 

As usual I walked to the office to register. After registering the information, I waited for the tamer to arrive.

After a few minutes, an old man came to the office. He then led me to the monster residing area. 

Many flying type monsters tamed here. He then stopped in front of the huge falcon. Seeing that, I wasn\'t surprised. Most of the monsters residing here are falcons. 

A 10 minutes later,

A giant falcon flew out of the academy\'s air space. It flew towards Viper City. I\'m sitting on the back. Whereas the tamer is sitting close to the neck region.

The Falcon is a Class-4 Monster. So the speed is quite high. I believe in a few hours we will reach Viper City.

Thinking about Viper City, I recalled the memories of my last trip. I have to be cautious this time. I activated my perception ability. Though we are flying in the air. But I still spread the consciousness around me.

I don\'t want to be startled by the surprise attack. After doing that, I opened my sci-fi watch to go through the mission again. 

Especially I want to look into the gorge area. The suspicious sightings were reported by the adventurers at that time. The adventurers in their statements said that the suspicious people were stronger than them.

But the adventurers had returned safely. This shows that other parties are unlikely adventurers like them. Otherwise, there could have been clashes between them.

But such a thing never happened. They are unknown people with strong strength. What are they doing near the gorge? 

Has something there in the gorge? My mind was occupied with many questions. I closed my eyes and pondered.

Time went by,

After a few hours, the gigantic falcon flew over the Viper City attracting the attention of the people. 

Slowly, the falcon lands at the monster facility area.

Then I stepped down and walked out of the building. Last time, I spent time eating. But this time, I came prepared.

So I directly head toward the City Wall.

While walking, I didn\'t forget to observe people around me. But none of them were showing any suspicion signs.

Dean said that she had weeded out the rotten apples inside the city. So getting spotted by the spy is minimum. 

Shortly after, I arrived before the City wall. Then I walked to the logging system. I entered my name and started the verification process. 

When the verification was done. 

Creak~

An iron door opened between the City wall. It\'s a path to the exit. Seeing that I entered and started walking towards the exit.

When I walked out of the City wall. I feel my heart at ease. There are no rules and restrictions anymore.

In front of me is a wide wilderness. It\'s a vast open field. After taking a glance at my surroundings. I opened the map on my watch.

Then I found the gorge area on the map. It\'s the only gorge which is located close to Viper City. 

Swish~

After confirming the location, I used the flight ability to move. 

Right after, two shadows appeared. Looking at Zack\'s direction, they choose to follow as well. 

Meanwhile,

The Sharp Daggers:

A couple of hours ago,

The leader Vik wasn\'t able to delay the time. Past couple of days have been a headache for him. The people from the Giant Tower are asking for his response.

So he instructed his men to attend the call. After a few minutes, his subordinate came with the report.

"Leader" 

Vik is sitting on the main chair. Seeing his subordinate, he squinted his eyes. 

He asked,"Tell me, what do they want?"

"Leader, the Giant Tower asked you to get ready. If there is another chance, they will let you know," The subordinate answered.

"Harumph," Vik gave a cold snort in satisfaction. 

He knows that they are using him as a gun. But because of the high grade artifact. He has to give in.

"Alright, tell them. I\'ll wait," He said.

Hearing that the subordinate showed some hesitation.

Vik caught the expression and asked,"Is there something else?"

"Leader, we still have our goods left near the Viper City. Someone has to go there to retrieve the goods," The subordinate answered.

Vik frowned. He remembered the old consignment. That mission was supposed to be over a week ago. But he almost forgot about it.

Now it\'s difficult to retrieve the remaining goods. Already the patrol guards are watching over the place. 

If he sends his men now, then they will get caught. He knitted his eyebrows further.

He can\'t leave the goods to rot there. Because the client was an important person. Thankfully, the client didn\'t ask anything. 

After contemplating, he decided to send his subordinates there.

Time passed,

After a few hours of flying, I decided to descend down to take some rest. I spotted a huge tree in the distance. Seeing that I flew toward the tree and sat on one of the tree branches.

"Phew," I exhaled in relief.

Hardly any green patches on these barren land. Surprisingly, I spotted these giant trees. Then I opened the map in my sci-fi watch.

A small holographic protection appeared. I quickly found the destination. It\'s a few miles from here. 

Seeing that, I frowned. On the way here, I didn\'t find any suspicious warriors. If not for the reports, I doubt even adventurers would come here. 

Shaking my head, I\'m beginning to rest here.

Time passed by,

After half an hour, I decided to resume the journey. But shortly after, I caught something in my perception. It\'s neither adventurers nor monsters. But an uneven land on the ground.

Several weeds have grown above the uneven land. If not for my perception, I would have missed it. 

Then I landed on the ground and slowly walked up to it. But as I got closer my senses were alarmed with danger. 

Swish~

My legs were covered with a purple arc in an instant. I disappeared from the spot and retreated backwards.

Boom~

A flame ball hits at the previous spot. Causing the dust to rise from the ground. The shockwave uprooted the grown out weeds. It completely swept away the nearby rocks.

The next moment, a four silhouette appeared on the ground. They immediately released the sword from their sheath to attack.

At the same time, my pupil constricted. 

Four of them are Super Elite Warriors. And there appears to be a mortar cell beneath the ground. What are they hiding there?

I took out the black sword and held it in my both hands. Looking at these people and their behavior. I doubt they are the killers who were after me.

My instincts tell me that something else is going on. They are dressed in long sleeved clothes.

Before I could access further. One of them released his attack at me.

His movement becomes clear under my perception. 

Seeing the sword arc coming at me. I used the lightning phantom technique to evade the attack.

Boom~

The sword arc brushed past me and landed a hit on the empty ground. 

A terrible sound reverberated throughout the area.

But I ignored the sound. By using this opportunity, I dashed toward the other two. I have to take down at least one of them quickly. 

At the same time, the other three charged at me.

This all happened within seconds.

Thundr~

When I got closer, I immediately released the lightning wheel technique. A giant wheel of lightning appeared. Followed by the thundering sound.

The enemies were startled by the situation. But their bodies were so close. So it was too late to dodge now.

The lightning wheel bursting with power. When it comes into contact with the body. 

Boom~

The next moment, the wheel explodes. The lightning power tore through the opponent\'s defense. And caused massive injury to their body. 

From the collision force three of them smashed to the ground. But it was not enough to take their life.

Clang~

At the same time, I turned around and blocked the attack from behind. We came close to each other. I was able to counter the brute force because of the body strength.

Using this opportunity, I raised my fist and used the blood fist technique. A warm current came from my bones and reached my forearm in a blink of an eye.
