Into the Iron Mountains

Ethan's joke was getting out of hand. A Predator Beast X? That car was something out of a sci-fi fantasy.

Forget about highways, even if he took it on regular roads, a convoy of armed SWAT units would probably surround him within minutes.

Skyblade watched Ethan's cryptic smile and shook his head. 'Yeah, right. He's totally messing with us.'

"Alright, let's squad up. I'll take you guys to level up," Ethan said, sending out party invites.

With six members, the team was full.

Once they were all in, Ethan noticed that the four of them had already hit level 20. Not exactly record-breaking, but still within the top tier of players.

"Since you guys are level 20 now, you should start upgrading your gear. You can probably handle the Howling Caverns dungeon," Ethan suggested.

"Yeah, but we don't have enough guild members at level 20 to form a full raid team yet. Boss, are you running it with us?" Skyblade asked.
