Shadow And System | Chapter 50. Decision of the Chairman

...Chapter 50. Decision of the Chairman....

The fight with a bunch of High Zombies was won by the Hunters although the victory was a little surprising.

"Are we winning?" asked the man wearing a sword and a light Armor.

"Is it over?" ask the Tanker Man with complete armor.

"Are you injured? As long as you're still breathing, our Healer Rank A will heal you!" keep Atha.

Then, Hunter who was in front of me also gave his comment.

"I can't believe there's a horde of High Zombies here..."

"We're lucky none of us died."

Healer girl who was also curious about the incident that happened to her then she asked Atha.

"Chairman Atha!"

"Yes?" answer Atha.

"When we fought High Zombie just now ..."

The Healer girl told me all about the strangeness that happened to the High Zombie in front of her.

"What's? Suddenly High Zombie looks choked and appears scratches on his neck? Is there any chance of someone secretly using his magic?" Atha also suspects her colleague who is a curse witch. "Is that magic from you?"

"That can't be done by my skill. I can't even stop their movements with my telekinesis magic and my curse. In addition, our attacking team that focuses on attacking power has an assassin that has Stealth skill."

"Right sister, if there is someone who does it, it must be an outsider" continued the Hunter Summoner girl who looked at me with a sharp gaze.

When I saw the gaze, I only realized that he who is a Caster magic or magician must know my existence when using the Stealth Skill.

Realizing that, I just smiled a little.

A moment later, the Hunters of Team B gathered to make a plan.

Then, one of the Hunter men asked Atha.

"Chairman, do we continue this conquest?"

Another Hunter man connected his colleague's words, "Isn't this too dangerous to continue? We're not even far from the dungeon's entrance gate yet, we've met many Undead especially High Zombies."

The man with the full armor also expressed his opinion.

"I also agree, we better re-strategize outside the Dungeon and report it to Chairman Richard and Vice Chairman Cindy."

Atha who was full of anxiety, he also looked towards the front where the Dungeon was very dark and had a gripping aura.

Seeing her doubts, I also understood her that while working in the Garuda Guild. This was his chance to make his leader proud which was Hunter Rank S and the raid today would probably be the only time Atha could lead the attacking team.

And, he thought he had to retreat so quickly in his first conquest as a leader.

Anyone in his position would be tempted to come forward and clean up this place.

But this is not a peaceful world. He must take smart and wise steps.

Because within this Dungeon, the choice of the leader was absolute within the dungeon. The unwritten rule says that as long as one is part of the attacking team, one must strictly follow the orders of the leader.

A moment later, Atha let out a long sigh and closed her eyes while answering..

"For the moment. Let's back off!"

Upon hearing Atha's order to retreat, all the hunters lightly patted their chests.

The Healer girl smiled slightly and insinuated, "I'm really worried that I'll insist on leaving."

She smiled, "I'm not a fool."

"I know that. But, look here, brother! Lookie! My hands are trembling" continued the Men Hunter not far from Atha.

On the other hand, I smiled with relief. Then, I took the bag and put it on my back.

After that, we turned around and went towards the gate. But, a moment later Atha stopped her steps while raising her right hand.

"All of it, stop!"

All the Hunters stopped their steps while looking ahead and questioning Atha's intentions.

"What's up, chief?" ask the Healer Girl.

"I don't know either" replied Atha.

Then, the Hunter near Atha was astonished by the gate that turned crystal red and could not be entered.

From my observation, the gate was covered by a magic barrier that was quite powerful because this process was the same as a Private Dungeon. However, the barrier was weaker and I believe it was from the magician controlling the Undead, a monster with high intelligence.

Then, the magician Hunter was aware of it as well. "It's a magic barrier. We can't break through it unless we defeat the witch who tidied up the barrier or asked for it directly."

A moment later, I felt a tremendous aura and back and the energy grew even greater, making the Hunter feel its vomiting and shed tears of blood and some Hunter fell.

"How can ...?" muttered the Hunter Summoner girl while holding the blood coming out of her mouth.

"It's from the Dungeon boss's aura?!"

Understanding that, we suddenly looked back at which from outside the darkness of the dungeon's interior, the sound of countless footsteps, much larger than before, resounded loudly.

Which one, which, the footsteps were from the figure of High Zombies coming before them and as I counted them there were about 50 High Zombies and one Lich with a tattered black robe walking in the middle of his front.

I'm guessing he's a monster under their boss.

The nervous tension was evident on the faces of the other Hunters even though they were more or less aware of the enemy than the echoing footsteps.

Upon seeing the greater number of High Orcs, the Hunters suddenly gave up hope.

"There is no hope of winning" murmured Atha.

Not only Atha, but from their expressions they will answer the same thing.

Although the truth is, I could have taken out a shadow army and won against them however, now is not the right time.

I still want to monitor it.

Without any movement, Atha and the other Hunters only noticed the 51st step High Zombie that came before them.

Despite the trembling, the Hunters put up a battle-ready position and waited for orders from Atha.

"Why, am I stuck in a situation like this .." murmured Atha.

"Why are they chasing up here?" fransiska murmur.

Understanding this situation, I understand and can feel their helplessness at the moment because the absence of an S-level is a very painful thing.

Even so, Atha as the leader could not continue to mourn his misfortune forever. He has to make a decision here but ...

"Fighting here will definitely result in our deaths. But, we no longer have a choice in this matter."

Hearing that, the Hunters prepared and determined to fight despite death.

Amidst her worries, the Healer girl strengthened Atha's resolve, "Sir Atha, will we always be with big brother?"

Atha who heard that, he suddenly saw the other Hunters just smiling and nodding their heads which signifies they are ready to fight until the last blood point.

After that, Atha unsheathed his sword facing forward to be ready to fight.

I also hid my right hand on my back to take Greed and I also comforted myself by thinking about the number of experience points I would get if I killed them all.

That also makes me smile.

Not long after, the figure of a Lich in black robes stepped forward and muttered.

Kurerack tu sheena, wekudo arachnaka.

Hearing that, the Hunters exchanged glances.

"It's What the fuck?" wonder girl Healer.

“Is that lich trying to talk to us?” ask Atha.

Then, the Lich held her neck and cast magic.

"Human, welcome!" lich.

Upon hearing that, the Hunters panicked and were astonished while giving his comments.

"An Orc just spoke human language!"

"How can an Undead person speak English?"

"Is this magic?"

....

Hearing that, I could only let out a long sigh because the Hunters couldn't keep their mouths on this kind of situation.

"Our leader wants to meet you. Follow me!"

At the moment, we are in a situation that is too complicated.
