After waking up and finished preparing for the hunt, Ronn walks out of the camp and goes to where the team gathered. He saw that Riko and Lilia are the only ones thats not there.
After reaching the meeting place he said. "Morning"
"Good morning, you're abit late today" (Jack)
"Morning" (Luis)
"Morning too" (Lora)
"Yo! wheres your clone?" (Drik)
"I dont know" (Ronn)
"How strong is that General you fought? though Lilia already informed us, I want to hear it from you who fought it." (Jack)
"Hm, That general was strong, Riko can kill it solo, though I can kill it too but I need the help of my clone." (Ronn)
"I see, maybe the boss of the dungeon was that strong too" (Jack)
"Maybe, but with Riko, Lilia and me killing it shouldn't be a problem." (Ronn)
"The only problem we have when killing the boss is all the monsters that lives with it" (Drik)
"You're right" (Jack)
"There should be aleast five more days before that, one of you should be able to advance during that time." (Ronn)
"Heh, I'm already close to advancing, 200 cores and I'll become E rank too" (Drik)
"Good for you, you can become a proper meat shield after you advanced." (Ronn)
"What did you say? After I advance lets spar again. I'll beat the shit out of you." (Drik)
"Heh, as if you can" (Ronn)
After bickering for few minutes, Lilia and Riko arrives. Then they begun moving towards the dungeon.
Just like what they always do, they hunt monster that they encountered. The team proceed to hunt while going deeper into the dungeon.
On the third day, just as what Drik said he advance and becomes E rank. When the team gained another E rank, hunting becomes much more faster.
Moving in the deepest part of the dungeon, All the monster they encounter are all E rank. They also encounter some D rank monster, but compare to the general its was much weaker that even Drik could fight it.
They continue this until the fifth day, standing 50 meters away from where the boss monster is located. Lilia spoke.
"Theres more than 200 E rank there, we cant just enter it because we'll be swarmed with those monsters." (Lilia)
"I suggest we have someone attract some of those monster, atleast half of them so that I can kill the boss." (Riko)
"Hm, that a good plan. So whose gonna do it?" Lilia said while looking at her team.
"No need to asked who should do it, Ronn should be enough." (Riko)
"Ha, I should have expected it when you suggested that strategy. Can I refuse?" (Ronn)
"No!" (Riko)
"I'm not talking to you, so please shut up" (Ronn)
"Do you want to die before those monster runs after you?" (Riko)
"Yeah yeah whatever" (Ronn)
Before it escalated, Lilia said. "Currently you're the only one suited for the job. You're fast enough to not get sorrounded, Injuries shouldn't be a problem to you, You have enough strength to not get overwhelmed. Although Riko can do it too, he has to fight the boss. As for me I need to command the team and support them." (Lilia)
"Sigh~ okay, okay, So should I start now?" (Ronn)
"Just shut up and go" (Riko)
Ronn clicked his tongue and begun heading towards the monster camp. When he was close to the camp, a monster saw him and roar towards him.
Unfazed by the monster, he observe it and saw that some monsters coming out of the camp. Then the first monster charge towards him.
When it was infront of Ronn it swung it axe to him. Ronn catched the axe then holds the neck of the monster with his right hands.
Gripping it tightly he said. "I'm quite pissed right now so you better call some of your friends inside the camp for me"
Lifting the Orc who was trying to remove Ronn's hand on its neck, he throws it towards the camp. When it crash on a hut, the monster inside become startled but quicky change into anger and look where the Orc comes from.
One by one, atleast more than 3/4 of the monster inside charge towards Ronn. Seeing an army of monsters heading to him, he then begun running to the opposite side where the team is located.
He didn't run too fast to let the monsters catch up to him and led them far from the camp. After running for few minutes the camp disappeared in his view.
...
Looking at Ronn being chased by hundreds of monster, Drik spoke.
"Shit, Theres atleast more than a half of monster inside the camp chasing him. Hope that bastard dont die 'cause I haven't gotten my revenge for hitting me in my stomach."
Then Lilia calmly said. "Lets enter now and kill the boss so we can help Ronn later"
"Uhh, don't bother with main body, he wont die from that" (no.2)
Then they proceed to enter the camp, the remaining monster look at them and charge. The team members move towards their designated position and raise their weapons.
The monster pounce at them from the front. Jack and Drik block them while no.2 and Riko protected the sides.
Lilia then supported them throwing some ball of fire, Luis shoot the monster in front rapidly. His weapon transformed into some kind of gattling, releasing dozen of bullets per second.
His bullets didn't hit the two at the front.Which was surprising since he fired dozen of bullets per second, but with his Gift called Sharpshooter. An Epic ranked Gift just like Drik's Steel Body, it was easy.
Luis shot bullets after bullets accurately hitting only the monsters. When the monster in front was dealed with, he switch with an Rifle type gun.
His weapon is just like the Parasite Armor has, a growth type one. It can change forms when the user wants it.
With a rifle he alternately fires on the formation sides, supporting no.2 and Riko.
Lora meanwhile healed Jack and Drik everytime an attack manage to hit them. Shes positioned in the center of the formation, using her healing capability.
Her gift is called Healing Priest, an Epic rank Gift. Using her Gift she can support the front so that it wont fall, when monsters pounce at them.
After 10 minutes of onslaught of monsters, they continue to walks towards the center of the monster camp after killing all of them.
Reaching the center a large hut was located. The team looked at it and not approaching it too close.
When theres nothing coming out of it, Lilia conjured an ball of fire thrice the size of an soccer ball and throw it at the hut.
When it hit, an explosion occurs and the door along with the rest front side of the of the hut was blasted. Few second after the explosion happened, a sounds of footsteps was heard coming from the blasted part.
Coming out of the hut, a 2 meter tall Orc looks at them then its eyes becomes red. Enrage at the destruction the team cause it released its voilent aura while roaring loudly.
The team feels the pressure, Luis, Jack and Lora almost falls to the ground but no.2 use the Dominating Aura to shield all of them.
After sensing the aura Lilia then command "Riko take the front, Drik and Jack support him from behind. This monster is much more stronger than the General. Dont lose focus and be alert."
The team followed her command, then the monster disappeared. Riko coated his sword with aura and strengthen his entire body with it.
Raising his sword he blocks the axe that the Boss swung. The ground below Riko's feet cracked due to the strength of the attack. He almost falls because of it.
'Shit, even the HobGoblin General isn't this strong. Just one swing of this Boss and my entire body almost fall.' Riko thought inwardly while realizing the dangers this monster can posed.
