SEVEN GATES: WAR OF CHAOS
Chapter 3.3 - Adventure with Benhard and Lyra
The fortress of the sixth zone is one of the gathering places for hunters to find missions, this fortress is the leading fortress of the human race in the face of the monster gate. In the fifth zone there is only a guard post and in the fourth zone there is a camp for gate hunters to return to the fifth zone.
“Rine, good morning” said Lyra with a smile, she walked towards Rine who was working at the reception desk
“Good morning” replied Rine, Rine was petting - Raven's wolf sniffing that she had tucked into the Guild fortress because she didn't know how to take care of the pet, Rine accepted Raven's request and will take care of her.
The atmosphere of the fortress that was lately deserted because most gate hunters went to pit their fate into zone four, in addition, some parties also only come to the fortress to meet each other then hunt monsters in region six then enjoy money from monster crystals. Not a few gate hunters who undergo slow life, because in the gate hunter rules do not privilege nobles or the royal family, who wants to be a gate hunter means they must want to be treated the same as other gate hunters.
These few days I feel that Mr. Raven will not come here again, today it has been 3 weeks since Mr. Raven said to rest. The knight who was said to be a member of Lord Raven had already come a few days ago.
I was sitting leisurely looking out of the room without doors, the mission announcement room for the hunter gate was open day and night without rest, he said, the gate hunters who came here did not all want to look at the notice board or ask the receptionist about the monster gate information, most of them sat at the table that had been provided then ate.
This announcement room is actually a place to look for missions instead treated as a restaurant, but different from restaurants in general, this place does not have servants, but it does not have servants, which means if you want to eat or drink here you have to order yourself to the chef and bring yourself to the table.
“Nona Lyra, good morning. Today drink vodka again?” asked a man who arrived sitting in front of Lyra
“Whispering, don't get too familiar with me” reply Lyra with flushed face
“It looks like Miss Lyra has drunk” Benhard said seeing me worried, she is a knight who will be a member of Mr. Raven's party. In view of his appearance was indeed quite convincing, he was a double sword user, he carried a large shield behind his back, on both of his waist there was a sword, but the strangest one was on his head.
“Oi Benhard why do you want to join this party?” as Lyra stood staggering, Lyra pointed at Benhard with her index finger
“That's because I feel the same fate as Mr. Raven” Benhard said seriously
I wanted to help Lord Raven to eradicate all the monster gates and make the world peaceful, but it was useless for me to explain my reasoning to this drunk. Miss Lyra often gets drunk while waiting for Mr. Raven to come - come, I know Mr. Raven's inn, but I don't want to meet Mr. Raven like that, I felt like I was forcing her to go on an adventure.
I'm sure if Miss Lyra knows Mr. Raven's inn then she'll go there every day. Miss Lyra is absolutely infatuated with Mr. Raven, rather than being called love, it seems Miss Lyra's attitude is more towards excessive obsession.
“Why are you wearing that weird helmet?” miss Lyra asked while holding my helmet, she pulled the helmet pull but I tried to hold it
“Nona Lyra don't do that” Benhard said
“Why is there a crest on this helmet?” said Miss Lyra, now she's pulling my helmet by holding the crest in my helmet
“That's just Miss Lyra's accessories, don't pull that part” Benhard said
I can't fight this drunk, it's a good thing Miss Rine came to calm Miss Lyra down, I'm a little calm right now. After a while Miss Lyra fell asleep at the table due to the tiredness of waiting for Lord Raven who has not come today as well. I'd better go home today.
“Nona Lyra, wake up now it's afternoon” said Benhard
“No, I want to wait for Mr. Raven, I want to be here waiting for my hero” said Miss Lyra
Unable to let Miss Lyra go home alone I finally decided to wait for Mr. Raven to come today, it's possible that she'll come today.
…
“Mr Raven, I want to always be with you” Lyra said deliriously
“Lyra... rest easy I will always be near you” replied Raven smiling
“Ehem” said Raven as she lifted her drink slowly
“Nona Lyra, Miss Lyra” said Benhard called Lyra slowly
I opened my eyes slowly, when the first thing I saw was the thing I wanted to see the most. I saw Mr. Raven smiling at me, he looked at me seriously as if fascinated.
“Women when sleeping it salivates?” ask Raven curiously
Embarrassed by Mr. Raven I ran towards the toilet as fast as I could.
“I went to the toilet!” lyra buru said
Raven comes in at midnight, with Raven casually entering and ordering a cup of warm milk and then sitting down with Lyra. For several hours Raven only saw Lyra's sleeping face, actually Raven had never seen Ariana's sleeping face so she was very curious on Lyra's sleeping face.
“Mr Raven, sorry I even overslept here” said Benhard
“Do not be formal to me, while being a gate hunter I am not nobility” said Raven
“If the rules are so still I have to respect the master, let alone the family of Mr. Raven is not an ordinary noble” said Benhard smiling
“As a nobleman I order you not to stiffen me, remember it” Raven glanced at Benhard
“Alright if it wants Mr. Raven, ahem I mean Raven” said Benhard
“Mr Raven, I've been waiting a long time!” lyra shouted as she ran to hug Raven
“Lyra stop it, every night I come to this fortress only you guys who no” reply Raven
“Ehh? It was true that” Lyra returned to her seat and sat down together with Raven and Benhard
“Alright because we have gathered, let's go to the fourth zone” said Raven seriously
“But before leaving I want to clarify something to both of you!” raven glanced at Lyra and Benhard
“Don't call me lord Raven, when being a gate hunter I'm not a noble. And one more thing, even though we are a party that does not mean we are friends, so try not to be a burden” said Raven in a flat tone, I told them this evil thing so they would realize that I didn't really want to be in close contact with them, I hope they could understand.
“Well Raven” reply Benhard, as said by Raven's father, Raven's attitude since losing Ariana became very cold to the people around her, I know her suffering, I know her suffering, I understand what it's like to lose the most valuable person, so I'm going to try to get Raven to open up again and start accepting Ariana's departure.
“Well, then I will call Raven with my hero!” shout Lyra happy “How?” lyra asked looking at Raven expectantly
“As for you, I don't care” said Raven with a flat face
“My hero” said Lyra while hugging Raven's hand
“Hehehe doesn't want” said Lyra with a serious look at Raven
“Sorry Mr. Raven, I don't mean Raven, Miss Lyra is heavily drunk, I will immediately calm her down
Actually Lyra is not drunk anymore, it's just that because Mr. Raven was so reluctant to get close to Miss Lyra that I made up that excuse, I've heard the story of Miss Lyra who was saved by Mr. Raven several times, Miss Lyra always told it when she was half conscious.
“Nona Lyra I know you are very crazy - crazy with Mr. Raven but remember your degree” whispered Raven’
“Degree? I don't care that, even if our degrees are so different I'll leave everything for my hero!” miss Lyra is serious
“Why Miss who even thinks as if her degree is higher, realize as an ordinary person” whispered Benhard again
“Ehem, what are you talking about, the day is about morning, let's go to” said Raven who took her milk cup and sipped her milk last
“Baik” said Benhard replied excitedly
“Come go!” said Lyra raised her hand sign she was very excited because she could finally start her adventure with the hero who was very much awaited - wait
…
Huh is this a curse for me? How to interact with a woman? I don't know how…
I saw her with a cynical look, did that hurt her heart? I don't know how to interact with a woman, maybe I just treat her like Ariana? No - no why do I think about him, I shouldn't have gotten too deep about Benhard and Lyra, they're just party members and not my friends.
“By the way - by the way have we taken the mission paper on the announcement?” ask Benhard
The three of them were on their way to the fourth zone, with a very soothing morning atmosphere, the sound of a gentle breeze that made the body cool and the morning sunlight that felt so bright.
“I picked it up, a few days ago Rine gave it to me” Lyra said issuing her mission paper
“Mission? We will eradicate monsters in the fourth zone, the mission is not important, the most important thing is to eradicate all monsters and close that gate!” said Raven who arrived - suddenly stopped and Lyra and Benhard
“Mr Raven...” said Benhard spontaneously, true what Mr. Raven said, the mission is just a community report or someone's request, he said, basically the main purpose of the gate hunter is to eradicate all the monster gate monsters then close that gate, I am very moved to hear those words from master Raven, he said, he was different from the other gate hunters.
“It's true! that's my hero! I love you more!” lyra said excitedly, but she still read the mission to Benhard and Raven
As they walked towards the fourth zone by the path that the previous gate hunters had made,
Lyra read out their mission “Machinator who is suspected as the boss of the fourth zone monster has become a suspect behind the disappearance of the gate hunters lately, according to one of the records of a gate hunter found near the curse zone, Machinator has a very large horse-like physique with a black body color, he said he has a very fast speed exceeding the speed of sound, that's why the gate hunter called it Machinator which is ‘mach’ which means the speed of sound.
note: Be careful when meeting Alter Dark Horse because the monster is a sign that you are in the curse zone”
The curse zone, was I in the curse zone that long? Their Dark Horse Alter was a weak monster, but the mind manipulation magic he had made the monster difficult to trace Raven murmured in his heart
“Bos monsters? isn't that too much for our mission” said Benhard worried
“No, I'm sure Raven can deal with it” Lyra said seriously
“Once.... indeed the rank of Raven is very high huh?” asked Benhard to look at Raven
“No, my rank master” reply Raven
“I Warior!” lyra said proudly
“Do you...” said Benhard in a soft voice, it seems like I was too worried, there is no way we will meet the boss of monsters, it is impossible right? I hope so.
A few days of the journey took place, every afternoon the three of them stopped, the next day Raven met with the group Aerogorilla who were looking for food, because they saw a familiar face, some Aerogorillas immediately ran up and pulled out a tree then flew and dropped the tree trunk towards Raven.
“Man! Looks like I recognized your face” Aerogorilla told Raven, this conversation can only be heard by Raven because she has the ability Mind Hack
Raven dodged very easily “Too weak, your throw is too weak” Raven said in her heart
“RAWR” shouted Aerogorilla simultaneously, they plucked the trees again then attacked Raven's party, Raven this time did not dodge because his Shadow Blaze had split the tree into two parts.
“Physical reinforcement stage one, Enchant Strength” said Raven, his body released a blood-red mana the physical strengthening magic mark had been activated, Raven then jumped with the help of her wind magic towards the Aerogorilla monster, which was the only one in the world, Raven beat up the monsters one by one.
“Puch Fire” says Raven
Aerogorilla monsters are sometimes very often seen along the river in the fourth zone, but it doesn't matter because they are not my match at the moment, but I was completely unaware that this time I brought my party members to explore this zone, I completely forgot…
Lyra fainted due to the attack from Aerogorilla, I was completely unaware of it. Finally I took him to a cave to rest and wait for him to come to his senses.
“Sorry, I'm busy protecting myself, I'm used to fighting alone, sorry” Benhard said with a sorry look at Raven
“No it's not your fault, apologize to Lyra. It is our fault, both of us” said Raven with a bow to see Lyra lying unconscious, there was a bruise on her cheek due to a hard blow from the tree trunk thrown by Aerogorilla.
I can't blame people because I'm the same way I feel, somehow I feel guilty to Ariana, I feel I'm not mature enough because I can't protect my friends like Ariana did to me, wait did I subconsciously label them both as my friends?? Hah.huh, what a poor me this is.
“Benhard I will check the cave deeper, I leave the guard of Lyra to you” said Raven
“Good, this time I will promise to protect her with my own life!” benhard is serious
Raven went deeper into the cave, actually she did not want to examine the cave just that she wanted to be alone to calm her mind.
What a friend did I not promise myself not to rely on others anymore! Why do I feel confident that Ariana is always beside me and protecting me! Why is!
I subconsciously struck the sharp rocks high inside the cave with a puch fire, I was so annoyed with myself.
Suddenly a ray of active magic circle arrived, the sky of the cave was opened slowly - the land, the rocks covering the sky - the sky was slowly shattered, a strong tremor was occurring around Raven, Raven said, the magic circle let out an extremely strong wind to throw Raven into the air.
“What! this is a trap!” raven said in a panic, the voice faintly heard by Benhard for the last time
