After deciding to visit Groma Arc with the help of Eve and Specter made all the preparation they needed it is mostly the disguise in order not to stand out he ordered a set of common clothing and types of equipment that commonly seen in Groma, of course, those were just camouflaging technology it is still a high-grade armor and weapons he would not compromise his and his companion's safety.
After making sure several times he nodded in agreement even the auto-translation is perfect. And with the money, they got from Graff everything is set.
Alright, let's go. So Arc, Ruby, Jem, Biggs, and Wedge as well as Eve his usual party are going to Groma... Gideon also organizes a small party and would be joining Arc only they have different objectives and would not be going at the same time.
It didn't take long for Arc's group to reach Groma entering is no problem there is hardly any inspection mainly because there are so many adventurers who come and go to gather materials the real inspection comes when you decided to leave and go to other cities.
As Arc has predicted the atmosphere is totally different when you're watching it from a feed and experiencing it personally.
Gromas were full of all kinds of people it's like Liberty only the city is in the medieval theme but in contrast, the people's clothes and equipment are quite advance even the vehicle is hi-tech. In fact, the equipment here is far more advanced than on earth. Levitating vehicles cyborgs, robots you name it its there.
Arc feels like he was playing his favorite VRMMORPG, so he was quite excited. And their first objective is to registers as an adventurer.
Arc and the rest already know where it was so it didn't take long for them to reach it.
Tyr's adventurers guild is more like a Bar than a guild table and stools with alcohol and foods are being served in the reception area and it is full of adventurer.
"It is very lively here," said Arc.
"Excuse me,"
"Hmmm, hello welcome the quest board is on the second floor is this your first time here adventurer?" Said the very lively and sexy half-beast half-elf receptionist.
"That's right we came from a remote village, and we want to register as Adventurer, were all hunters, and we think that we make more money being adventurer than being a lone hunter." Said Arc.
"I see, that's indeed the truth but it is also more dangerous I can see that all of you are experience fighter judging by your outfits, alright fill this up and just pay 200 credits each for adventurers badge and you are good to go... Oh, and I assume you're all together?... Right?"
Arc nodded... "Right, by the way, I'm Sheba... Ok also fill in the name of your party..." Sheba explained with a smile on her face.
The registration is very simple its like making a new email address... So it didn't take long for them to register. And after paying, it only takes a few minutes, and they already received their respective badge and devices.
The badge is like a nameplate or ID Arc electronic picture is in there along with the name they registered along with their ranks.
As for the device its a watch type communication device its quite advance, its like a mini-computer there's information on the area, beast and so fort. of course the information they can access depends on their ranks. But it is really convenient there's even GPS functions in it.
Eve tried to hack it, and she was successful in some programs but decided not to push it as the other party might detect it.
Even so, eve was able to unlock quite a lot of features such as information that needed by high rank to access, she also unlocks ranking board... And more importantly, she can now search other adventurers as long as she knows the name.
That's just a few of the features she unlocks. Arc name their team Grandmasters and choose the Grand Trading logo no one would be able to recognize it anyways so there's no need to lie or hide their true name.
After registering they went to the second floor and pick a couple of quests.
Unbeknownst to them, several eyes are focusing on them.
After they left they plan to complete some quest and level their rank and at the same time gather some info about the gods or ancient artifacts.
But as soon as they left Ruby and Jem notice they are being followed.
"Boss were being followed, Arc nodded... let them lets complete a few quests first. Capture them if they make a move against us"
Ruby and Jem nodded to them this kind of situation is like walking in the park no problem at all.
Arc brought some local foods and clothes as well as some equipment that he fancies. And without doing anything else they left to complete some of the quests, the quest Arc have taken are all hunt quest... Procurement and some other quest are too boring for him, so he won't do it.
….….
In the corner of the street, a man was watching Arc's team and as soon as Arc's team left the city they started following them.
"Red… they left the city"
"Roger, Green follow them but don't get too close. They look like season hunters."
"Hahaha, and how many season hunter we buried?"
"None, we never buried them we just leave them to rot and be food for the beast.."
Both of them laugh together...
"Don't kill the two girls... After we play with them and we can sell them after..."
"You read my mind Red."
"Let's go gather everyone." Said Green.
"Were all ready Green..."
"Good lets hunt"
Arc's group travel in leisure to him and the rest this is a kind of vacation if not for the urgent mission. Arc would take his time and enjoy this kind of environment.
It didn't take long for them to reach their first hunt.
++ KILL 10 DEKORO AND RETRIEVE THIER HEADS ++
A picture of Dekoro was posted below it looks like a huge Bear with spikes on its body like a porcupine... It's also 2 meters tall.
This is a rank B quest... Normally lower rank adventurers cannot accept high ranking quest for their protection. But there's no such thing here as long as they pay the quest fee it doesnt matter what rank they have, so Arc accepted several B rank and 1 A-rank quest.
And after arranging it to the nearest to farthest this Dekoro is the first in their hunt. After exiting their vehicle they purchase in Groma they went straight where it should be.
And a few minutes later Red and Green team arrived.
Red and Green are very experienced in tracking clearly they've done this kind of thing many times before.
It didn't take long for them to reach where Arc and his group are... Currently, Arc's group are traveling leisurely like some tourist.
Red and Green are puzzled by what they are seeing. Clearly, Arcs group is season hunter but why are they acting like a noob.
Are they mistaken? Red and Green began to communicate in silence... They are discussing Arc's behavior.
"Whatever its good news for us." Said Red.
Green nodded. "Alright on my mark."
"Huh! Wait... Where're the two girls?.." Red began to look around... But didn't see them he asks Green but there's no response he turns around to ask his teammates only to find all his teammates are beheaded and Jem are looking at him playfully...
He cursed in his mind... Fuck!! He was about to reach for his smoke bomb but before he can do so, he saw both his Arms fall of.. And pain soon follows the pain is so intense he almost passes out. He screamed and roll over.
Jem looks at him a pathetically. There's no blood since laser edge was used it cuts and cauterizing the wounds automatically. Jem grabs him by his feet and drags him in front of Arc.
"Hello, guys, its good of you to come." Said Arc smiling.
