In Kalibo Forest, near the human settlement, Isolde and Leonel, together with Clawing Talons, were in the middle of hunting a Hidden Boss.
They set out when the night fell since the Boss only showed itself once the light was gone and darkness took over.
In the jungle, a small brackish stream splashed a cool scent of water and rich decay. Due to the surrounding stillness, their eyes could even catch a glimpse of a small forest creature, fleeting from tree to tree. Noise from their activities was almost non-existent, and the surrounding vegetation swallowed the remaining echoes.
Clawing Talons was an emerging guild with a rich backer, which was why they could afford to hire World Conqueror to help them kill the Boss. The Hidden Boss's information hadn't been cheap, but Clawing Talon was confident that their investment would return to them ten times after killing it.
