Hidden Cavern

In a secret cave. The Crimson League has entered this cave for many days. This was the place where Zephiroth led his group, the Crimson League, to explore.

This place was far from the Forest Valley. A cavern is hidden from anyone, no one can access this cavern if they don't have the secret key. Which Zephiroth has in his hands.

Unfortunately, this cavern is a large maze. After many days, Zepiroth and his team weren't able to find the door they were searching for. They are SS-rankers but they are left exhausted in this strange cave.

"What the f.uck is wrong with this cave? Doesn't this look the same?"

"All I can see is a wall. I'm tired, is there no way to get this?"

"Stop complaining, this cave is giving me a headache. Bianca, you're the best scouter among us, can you get us out of here?"

"...Don't order me around. Master Zephiroth is the only man who can command me...Also, I have been working nonstop for the past few days. If you have time to open your mouth, at least help me."

Bianca Travis, The most renowned and heinous assassin. She has a short bob of green hair and purple glowing eyes. This purple eye of hers is a skill that can be used to scout hundreds of smiles and find her target.

She became known as the "Bloody Tracer". The only opponent par with her is "Grand Tracer- Jill". These two women from different sides, righteous and evil, are always at each other's throats.

Jill Farran, a Middle Eastern woman is hunting "Bloody Tracer". It was known to the whole world, that the reason why Jill Farran continued to pursue "Bloody Tracer" was because her family was killed by Bianca.

It was a hatred that fueled Jill Farran to find Bianca at the end of the world. Jill Farran joined and created the guild, Skynet. A guild that is responsible for the world top top-secret information.

Skynet is also part of Roundtable along with, Dragon Palace, Bear Kingdom, Gold Savvy, Alchemist Guild, Blacksmith Guild, Merchant Association, etc.

Bianca has been using her skills 24/7 and still cannot find the door they were looking for.

"Prepare yourselves, another SS-rank monster! What is this place, how come there are so many SS ranks." Bianca shouted.

When she was done talking. A shadow leaps before them. It was a large rat-like monster. Staring at them viciously. Behind this rat is a large swarm of slightly smaller than it. This swarm fearlessly confronts the Crimson League despite the aura of the members leaking.

Usually, monsters can feel the power of their opponents and they will not face an opponent stronger than them.

However, the monsters in the hidden cave. They don't seem to care about the strength differences. They will unhesitantly attack the Crimson League.

Zephiroth who was at the rear, watched as the battle unfolded. He was composed and unbothered. He didn't seem to care what was happening.

The rat swarms were subdued easily by a group of 19 SS-rank and an unknown number of S-rank. This is the true power of the Crimson League, they are gathering in one place.

Reason unknown. But, if someone is witnessing this scene. They will think, the Crimson League is plotting horribly. Unfortunately, no one knows about this.

[Battle has ended....]

"Oh, the mission has been completed? Oy oy oy, what the hell is this? Hahahaha... This is so funny!"

"What is so funny, Cael?" Zephiroth glanced at the person who was laughing and rolling on the ground.

"Would you look at this!" Cael swoops the panel to Zephiroth.

"..."

"Buhahahaha, This is unprecedented!" With a large body, he looked like a Hulk but a human. He was also laughing his ass off.

"They've been fighting for days against those demons and accumulated points. But to see one group surpass everybody in just one day? Even if you give me a thousand gold I won't believe it. An unknown group became top 1? Hahaha, those top Guilds have lost their faces." Another SS-rank person joined the fun.

"...What's so funny about this? Shouldn't we be vigilant? If an unknown group can have this kind of power, shouldn't we investigate this matter?"

Not everybody was having fun. Those who are thoughtful and clever, the smart ones. They can see deeply into this matter.

"Master Zephiroth, do you think our Crimson League can surpass all the Guilds just like this black horse?" Bianca kneeled on one knee before Zephiroth.

"We can...But everyone knows we have the power. This unknown group, we didn't hear anything about them... This raises a lot of questions. Who are they?" Cael replied in Zephiroth's place.

"With my intelligence network that is on par with Skynet, the Darknet. We have no recollection of any group called Nova Elpida. But this name is derived from the word from Latin and Greek. It means New Hope... To name their Guild like this, what is the reason?"

If Jill Farran established the Guild Skynet. Bianca Travis did not lose out, she also established a group that is responsible for the Crimson League's gathering information.

These two groups have been at each other's throats just like their leaders. When encountering each other they will kill until no one is left.

Bianca is not only a smart woman but she has also a deep insight. Though cruel, her ability is not for show.

All the high-cast in Crimson League or no pushover either. For example, Cael is the second in command. He is a shadow of Zephiroth. His reputation is unknown but all the members will not take this man lightly.

Trevor Grant, the muscle giant also known as the "Happy Killer Giant" this guy is the most evil among evil. He will laugh when slaughtering the innocents. His laughter will send shivers to those who witness. Tearing a body with bare hands.

A clown who loves to prank people but such pranks are overly excessive to the point of being real. "Killer Clown"- Itto Jaku

A pretend beggar who wants to kill rich people. "Petty Beggar"- Berut Hazik

A little girl who loves horror wants to reenact in real life. Just like Braxton who wanted to be famous. "Little Horror"- Betty Cranberry.

A Dark Knight whose whole purpose is to lead a dark cavalry. "Dark Knight." name unknown. Always wearing their armor 24/7.

A skeleton who came seeks revenge. He was a human whose heart was filled with hatred. Betrayed by the people he trusted, he was tempted by the devil. "Necromancer"- Lich King

If there is a Western Knight, there is an Eastern Knight. This guy always wanted to buttheads with Dark Knight. Claiming that Eastern Knights are better than Western Knights. "Knight Enthusiast."- Kang Daluo

A large baby-like person. Likes to eat anything. No existing knowledge just like an infant. "Devourer."-Polo

If such existence is not thoughtful, there is. Tamer. A beast tamer, or should we say a bioengineer alchemist who loves to fuse beasts and humans. "Crazy Doctor."- Alvert the second.

Apart from these thirteen, including Zephiroth and Braxton. 7 people always conceal their appearance. They are the 7 Traitors of Humanity. The Crimson League did not trust these people. Those who betrayed their people are not worth trusting.

Of course, there is an exception. If their reason for betrayal is not that bad. They have a chance of redemption. But to be labeled as the 7 Traitors of Humanity. Who knows what they have done?

"New Hope or not! I will raze them to pieces! Kekeke." The Clown laughs creepily.

"Hmmm, this new group has my attention. What should I do? How about I cut their limbs and fuse them with monsters... Kakaka that would be great nuuu~" Alvert followed the Clown Itto maniacally laughing.

"Mumumu?" Polo tilted his huge baby head while sucking his finger. He grabs a rat monster and chumps it with one big bite. Blood splattered but the big infant did not mind.

Those from the lower rank shivered at that sight.

"F.uck! Not good, another monster is incoming. This time it's an SSS rank." Bianca suddenly shouted.

"Oy, Cannon fodders intercept it," Cael ordered those who are lower rank mercilessly.

Not daring to oppose the order. The lower rankers can only grit their teeth as they prepare for the incoming monster.

This time, the monster is a huge centipede. Sharp legs and a very hard-looking exoskeleton. It's fuming neurotoxin gas around. Its large body was so intimidating, in its mouth there was green glowing saliva dripping on the ground.

*Tsss*

"Oh, crap! Poison mist and acid saliva. With it's rank, this will be a hard battle." Cael sounded troubled but his expression was disgustingly opposite.

The Crimson League versus an SSS-rank monster. Who would win in this battle?

...

Meanwhile.

"Oh my god. This b.itch what is she doing?" Shana Del Heron cursed under her breath.

She leads Kim Yo-han's group to the Governor's residence. The place was thousands of miles away from the camp. It would take hours to get here.

That is why, She asked Ziba to prepare a large teleportation formation. This type of formation can exhaust one's pocket as it needs a large amount of high-rank magic crystal.

When they arrived at the Governer's residence. They weren't the only ones in there. Shana planned to sneak Kim Yo-han's group while registering.

To register in the Governor's residence. It would mean the otherworld's group has been backed by a powerhouse in this world. Such as Shana Del Heron, whose stature is somewhat important.

Normally, the otherworlders have to register their identification in the City Hall. In Demon Suppression Fort there are large numbers of City halls as it has a population of a billion. If there is only one City hall, everyone would have to travel a long distance which is not practical.

However, there is only one Governor's Residence. I mean, this Governor's Residence is just the house of the Marquis, it's a large western castle, situated in the middle of Fort City.

The House of Marquis Heron. Shana Del Heron's husband's family. What a coincidence isn't it... I hope Kim Yo-han is not in trouble.

Apparently, Douglas Del Heron is an Immortal low-6 rank. He is the Head of the family, Shana's father-in-law. Despite being suppressed by the will of the heavens. The fact that this guy can defeat Commander Gerad Verido was known by everyone in Demon Suppression Fort City.
