Chapter 12 They attacked us earlier

When Byung-ho, Ah-In, and Lee Bong Ju heard the news from their master, they immediately gathered their guild members. Only A-Rank hunters and higher will participate in the attack because B-Rank hunters and lower won't do much on the battlefield. While they are preparing, in the Death Forest the S-Rank Hunters that guard the forest is already fighting Bears and tigers. But unfortunately, they didn't last long because of the large number of enemies. After ten minutes, many monsters are already outside the forest and wreaking havoc on the surroundings, fortunately, no people are living near the forest.

At the same time, the members of the Fiery Phoenix Guild arrived to stop the monsters. Hundreds of A-Rank hunters arrived to stop the bear with large claws and a tiger of enormous size. The hundreds of hunters are having a hard time because the two monsters are both S-Rank. Just when they are about to be cornered, two trucks arrived the truck is the members of Behemoth Guild and the other truck is the members of Shadow Vengeance Guild. Each truck has 10 S-Rank hunters and 1 SS-Rank. They immediately come out and helped the cornered members of the Fiery Phoenix Guild. They easily killed the bear and the tiger. After that, many more trucks arrived and the Guild Masters of the Behemoth, Shadow Vengeance, and Fiery Phoenix is now in the area too.

Then the three Guild masters divided their numbers. They decided that all the A-rank hunters and lower to retreat and stay in the city to protect the people if a monster sneakily entered the city. 3 SS-Rank members of Behemoth Guild also come with the A-Rank hunters to protect the city so if there is a strong enemy, they can somehow defend and they can call for reinforcements. Byung-ho's 4 SSS-Rank members are still waiting for orders. Byung-ho is reserving them if an unknown danger or strong monster showed up because the monsters that are showing up, for now, the S-Rank member can handle it. There is some SS-Rank monster that showed up but they all died in the sword of Byung-ho.

While the Death Forest is in a mess, Zero is normally doing his job. He already heard the news about the Death Forest and decided to ignore it because he think that the hunters can handle it. 'Hmm, I'm sure they can handle it. Except if there is 2 SSS-Rank monster they will be having a hard time. And if 3 SSS-Rank monsters appeared, it's impossible for them. Unless a reinforcement from another country arrived." Zero muttered to himself.

At the deepest part of the Death Forest.

The tamer with his fox and dragon, headed into a cave. Inside the cave is dark and only a few torches are lit up. The space inside the cave is very big. The tamer looked at the dragon beside him and said with a smile

"I'll let your brother enjoy my event."

The three then entered the deepest part of the cave. Since the torches are not enough, the tamer used Light Magic to see the surrounding. What he saw is a big Adult Dragon. Its scales are black, its size is a bit bigger than the dragon beside the tamer, and its eyes are red. This dragon is also tamed. The tamer signaled him to follow him and it followed.

The number of monsters is minimized at a decent rate. If an SS-Rank monster appears, they'll immediately report it and Byung-ho, Ah-In or Lee Bong Ju will take care of it. After an hour, the monsters left are only a few and it's only a matter of time before they will be wiped out. The mana cores that will be collected will be equally distributed to the three guilds that participated in the raid in the forest. Many small guilds decided to protect the city. They don't dare to participate in the Death Forest because they are aware that they are too weak to participate.

After 30 minutes, no monsters can be seen in the forest anymore. Fortunately, no one died. 16 S-Rank Hunters suffered heavy injuries, the healers immediately healed them to minimize their injuries. And the others only suffered minor injuries and they were also healed by healers. They all rejoiced because they finally cleared the Death Forest. Byung-ho searched if there are more monsters, fortunately, there is none. The three Guild Masters congratulate their members for clearing the forest.

Suddenly they all felt a presence.

They saw a huge dragon with dark red scales appeared in the sky. All of them were shocked by the sudden appearance of the dragon. Byung-Ho ordered all the SS-Rank hunters and lower to retreat. They immediately retreated because they know that they are not a match in an adult dragon.

Only seven people left. They are Byung-ho, Ah-In, Lee Bong Ju, and the four SSS Rank members of Behemoth Guild are Sung-ho, Jung Hoon, Hyun Woo, and Liera. Sung-ho is a mage who focuses on wind magic. His wind magic is at the 9th tier. Jung Hoon is a swordsman like his guild master. Hyun Woo is a necromancer. He has Undead Dragon that makes him an SSS-Rank Hunter. While Liera is a magician who uses water magic. Her Water Magic is at 9th tier.

The dragon started gathering mana in his mouth. When they felt it, they immediately erect a barrier to protect themselves. After that, the dragon breathes ice to freeze the seven people.

Whooooooosh!

The breath lasted for 6 seconds. The surroundings are covered with ice. They completely blocked the ice breathe. Then they started to counterattack. Byung-ho summoned his sword and the others readied their magic. Ah-In used her [Lightning Strike], Lee Bong Ju used his [Explosion], Byung ho and Jung Hoon attacked the dragon with their swords, Sung-Ho used [Wind Cutter], Liera used her [Water Javelin]. Hyun Woo summoned his Undead Dragon. They all attacked the dragon with their magic!

BOOM!

The dragon tried to defend but the attack he received is very strong. After the attack, the state of the dragon is very critical the blood can be seen within the dragon. They easily dealt heavy damage to the dragon because there are seven of them to kill the dragon. When Byung-ho is about to finish it, a fox with hundred tails appeared and blocked their attacks with its tails.
