Seeing the discomfited and even dubious expressions on their faces, they feared they had fallen into an enemy encirclement, with a trap lying ahead.
Suddenly, a rapid whooshing sound came from the air.
From deep within the courtyard to the entrance, a metal token-like object traced a long parabola and embedded itself into the wall.
Clang!
Several key members of the Hunters Association stepped back in fear, exchanged glances, and then moved forward to inspect it closely. It turned out to be a metal engraving resembling a shield, about half a palm in size, with stone protrusions on the edges, appearing cold and heavy. The surface featured a metal engraving of a ghostly face, with a fierce aura like that of a ferocious ghost in the night.
At the very top of the metal token was a numerical identifier.
2.
This was... a Shadow Hunter Badge. The second Dark Hunt Lord.
