Chapter 37

Grave Cave 037.

Eud woke up as usual and felt a little strange.

Is it because it doesn’t happen every morning?

A doll on the desk. I checked the clock next to it, and it was the correct time I usually wake up.

But usually around this time, Perry and other maids come to wake him up.

Of course, Feria is off duty today. As much as she made an appointment with her three siblings for Four Enix, she’s probably already getting up and getting ready to go out.



If she comes to wake me up, maybe she’s Maddy or Marie.

‘It must be busy at times.’

Anyway, Eud woke up well before anyone woke him up every time.

Eud got up from the bed he had been so accustomed to recently and started changing his clothes.

A few minutes later, hurried footsteps were heard.

rumble!

“Ah, Eud, I’m sorry! ……..Ah!”

“I just got up first.”

Having changed all his clothes, Eud smiled saying it was okay to Marie, who had run more urgently than usual.

But her expression on Marie was still not good.

“Marie?”

“Oh, no. I’m really sorry I’m late, Eud.”

The playfulness as usual had cooled down a lot.

Normally, I would have tried to tidy up my messy hair or slightly crooked clothes while sleeping.

And joking around,

It is the nature of Maid Marie to make Eud and others laugh.

But now, Marie was restless to an unprecedented level.

“What happen…….?”

Marie somehow tried to put up with her agitation, but she eventually opened her mouth to Ewood’s continued interrogation.

“…Eud-sama, actually—”

You’ll find out sooner or later anyway.

.

.

The whole house was in chaos.

Two teams from the Phoenix Hunter University went on an expedition two days ago.

It was because of the crisis they now face.

“Changes in the dungeon. First of all, the ‘escapers’ say that more than ten people have already been killed.”

“First of all, the death identities were confirmed, five people from the ‘Bolitis family’. I took on the role of a detached unit for a short time for reconnaissance purposes, but……”

“Even after time passed, he did not return, and it is said that he discovered the hunters of Voltis who were killed by monsters in ‘Change’.”

A seminar room used by Hunter Colleges for their meetings.

All the hunters except the current mansion guards were listening to the story.

Everyone couldn’t stop being amazed.

‘Changes in the dungeon’.

Obviously, there were some changes before the tomb cave expedition began.

However, the information delivered now was a completely different change from that ‘slightly’.



“The change is ‘addition of native monsters’. ‘Addition of Terrain’. In the dungeon where only the undead were found—”

“‘Bug Monster’. ……It is said that giant insect-type monsters with a higher level of risk than A have appeared.”

At the words of the Hunter who was briefing the situation, Alberto continued it.

It’s not just Alberto.

In the seminar room, Gareth, the owner of all of the hunters, was also silent and listening to the story.

An insect monster that appeared in a dungeon where only the undead thrive.

It is said that all the hunters panicked by the monster that appeared in the rest area.

Then, because the insect monsters collapsed the inner terrain, the confusion was aggravated.

“Then the personnel, no……! What happened to Dian’s kids, Captain Alberto…?!”

“There is no definitive information yet. There aren’t many situations where the escapees have confirmed. …but all the escapees said, ‘The Phoenix Hunters seem to have noticed a sense of incongruity’.”

“““!!!!”””

The Hunters were a little relieved at Alberto’s answer.

There must have been Dian’s ‘wild sense’.

If they were able to cope somehow, the survival rate of hunters rose exponentially. Especially with Dian, the direction must have been clear.

“right! Dian because that guy definitely values ​​the survival of the members!”

“There’s Alex and Anna too! Since it’s Dian’s team, the kids will be able to survive!”

“Really, I was worried too much…!”

“Now, if we understand the internal situation and quickly dispatch the rescue team……!”

Also, the items I brought with me were comfortable.

The situation is still unknown, but I have come to believe that it will be safe enough.

There was a moment of confusion at the Phoenix Hunter University.

“There is a problem.”

“……..Problem?”

“No problem, Captain Alberto……?”

But Alberto’s subsequent words brought the seminar room back into tension.

“The army of insect monsters that appeared is mostly A. However, within that army is ‘Mine Centipede’. There were ‘five’ boss monsters with a level of risk S.”

All the phoenix hunters murmured.

Even that ‘one’ is not easily seen.

Monsters that can only be dealt with by creating a ‘Raid’ with 4 or more teams of top hunters – that’s the risk S boss



But such a boss monster suddenly appeared in a narrow dungeon.

Not even one, but five.

Hearing those words, everyone trembled in tension for a moment.

If five animals that were not even investigated in advance appeared at the same time, it would not be strange if all died immediately.

Gareth said amid the murmur of confusion.

“-It was handed down by the Guild Jeonseo-gu, which was additionally passed on earlier. The ‘Tomb Cave’ with risk B+ has been updated with the current level.”

“Renewal……is it?”

Gareth’s voice was cold, but nevertheless, he also lost his sense of calm.

“Risk S+. This is the real danger level of the Tomb Cave, determined by 11 o’clock today.”

S+.

Now, the general hunter squad, or 60 A-class hunters- no, it wasn’t at a level that people less than that could do.

“Except for the ‘Seven Dungeons’… it is the most dangerous among the existing dungeons…

Even if the monster risk is S, you don’t know how many people will die in a surprise appearance.

This means that the dungeon has become a one-sided massacre by itself.

“…as soon as the incident started, 10 people died. And more than 10 hours have passed since then. No one can guarantee the survival of Dian’s children right now.”

Things are going for the worst.

“Everyone, please be prepared to some extent.”

“…….What do we do? What should I do, sister, Eud……?”

The three brothers and sisters, who had originally planned to go out, were naturally unable to move.

Outside the seminar room, Tiana came close to the door and listened to the conversation.

How many times have you already been creeped out?

Tiana dropped her whole body.

She heard from the morning that an incident had taken place from the Hunters who went out on an expedition.

However, in the meantime, the additional information that was passed on was making the situation worse, far from improving.

All of Hunter’s University are Phoenix users who have always been friendly with the Phoenix family.

For the Phoenix family, the Hunters are more than friends.

And they are reliable escorts.

But they are.

Dian and Eliri- Not only that, but everyone else is in danger of dying.

“……”

Selena, whom she was eavesdropping with, also didn’t like her expression.

Behind the two sisters, Eud continued to focus on the story.

“Give me permission to set up a rescue team, Gareth. Captain Alberto.”

One of the hunters stood up.

“Phoenix Hunter College never abandons its colleagues. Isn’t that something you’ve been forced to do since you took us away?”

Following that, the other hunters also rose from their seats. Then everyone bowed their heads.

Two male and female hunters, Dixis and Martha, were selected in the last hunter recruitment.

They also hesitate for a moment, but immediately bow their heads together as if they had made a promise.

“No.”

But Alberto refused like a knife.

“Captain Alberto!”

“Then I want to ask you something like this. Let’s see if the words ‘Don’t abandon your fellows’ and ‘Send your fellows in the field’ can work.”

“……”

Alberto’s decision. As much as Draves, the Master of the Hunter Guild, knows the current situation.

“Monsters with a risk level of S or higher have very little information on their own. Because the number of objects is extremely rare. mine centipede. There is not much information about it even in the guild. Even now, the grave cave is a dungeon of S+, where even a preliminary investigation is impossible.”

Alberto shot cold judgment at the Hunters.

“Even if you all go on, there will never be good results.”

“Ugh……!”

“So, Gareth-sama.”

Immediately Alberto turned to Gareth.

“I will go. Please allow it.”

This time, Alberto bowed his head.

“Are you okay?”

“Risk S+ Dungeon. This sword god Alberto, no matter how old and rusty his body is, he can still clear it.”

One person clears the risk S+ dungeon.

All of the hunters understood how much it transcended humans.

“-But Alberto, of course you know. This is a race against time. Clearing the dungeon and ‘rescuing’ within time are different.”

“Of course I am aware of it.”

“Even if we reach the end of the dungeon, no one can be saved.”

“……I am prepared.”

A sincere request from Alberto, who is much older than him.

In the end, Gareth had no choice but to nod his head.

“All of the Phoenix Hunters. Help Alberto advance. And deliver it to the servants, prepare the supplies for Alberto’s expedition, and have the driver Hegi pull my horse- Andre and Betty to pull the wagon. So that we can go to the Velvet Line at the highest speed!”

“””Okay!!!”””

At the fact that there was barely anything to help, the Hunters were busy moving.

.

.

.

The only ones left in the seminar room where the Hunters left in an instant were Alberto and Gareth.

Gareth leaned back in his chair and said more helplessly than ever.

“Why am I holding onto something like a ‘golden knight’?”

“…Gares-sama is not at fault.”

“If it wasn’t for a title like this, I would have gone to rescue the children right away.”

golden knight. Coordinator of Eugracia.

A warrior and a wizard who protects the country.

They are so strong that they can shake the world. But you can use your power only “for the sake of the country.”

Only with the permission of the king and then the permission of the prime minister can he exert all his powers.

And at the national level, the current situation is still a small incident.

It was not a situation in which Gareth’s arbitrariness could use his power.

Even if you’re lucky and get permission to use your powers, you probably won’t make it on time.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

At first, Gareth had already sent Jeon Seo-gu to the king, but he was never optimistic.

The current Gareth is more helpless than the hunters who bowed their heads earlier.

Soon Gareth noticed that the front door of the seminar room had been opened.

“……Our kids. uh huh, what’s going on Today with Jessica and Peria. Didn’t everyone tell you to go to the streets?”

daughters and sons.

At the three really lovely siblings, Gareth smiled as brightly as possible.

Of course, when he saw the faces of the children, he thought he had heard everything.

“Hey… With Dian, with Elli, and with Anna… Can we all be saved?”

“I will save you. Tiana.”

Alberto answered Tiana’s words more firmly than before.

Tiana looked at Alberto and Gareth alternately and lowered her head slightly.

Selena said.

“Daddy… you can’t fight, right?”

Hearing Selena’s words, Gareth felt very frustrated with himself.

“…….. Jeonseo-gu has sent the king to give him permission. However-”

“Not yet, isn’t it?”

Selena’s voice was quiet, but there was so much sadness in it.

how pathetic this is

This situation is so strong.

A father who should be a role model for his daughters and an example is so powerless.

Gareth washed his face dry without realizing it.

Wood opened his mouth as the two sisters were behind him.

“Miss Gareth.”

“…… Son who doesn’t listen to this. Eud, didn’t you always tell me to call you Daddy!”

Gareth said in a somewhat exaggerated voice.

Even so, I wanted to hide my helplessness.

OK-

“-Then… ‘Father’.”

“Yes, Father! Please call me father- ……what?”

At this moment, Eud did not hesitate to put the name in his mouth.

“Please let me go.”

Alberto too.

Selena too. Tiana too.

Everyone expressed their astonishment towards the youngest.

At that moment, Gareth remembered the dreamland battle of ‘Udeu Galea’, which he had been watching for a year.

“All ten of the Phoenix Hunters. I will definitely come to the rescue.”
