The Archon
Those Who Rise

Inside an upstairs office room in a building not far from where Lucero and the others were fighting. The building was not burned, but it was damaged, dark and many walls collapsed. The surviving hunters are seen surrounding the hunters rescued by their team.

"So can you tell me the chronology of what happened to the first raid team?" Ask Lucero to the hunter.

The hunter immediately told him everything he had seen from start to finish, how they had parted ways and how they had survived for days. The second raid team was a bit surprised by the way they survived inside here, apparently doing jihadi to the corpses of the hunters who had died, it signaled that it was not only Kirisaki's team who thought so, as well, but also by another team of hunters.

The hunter also told him what happened to him and the raid team on duty to do jiarah on this day. They were ambushed by the dragonoids during the opportunity and they were all killed except for him who managed to run at the last moment.

"There's one thing I'm interested in, white dragon! When we came in, we hadn't found it" Lucero asked.

"Ah... The dragon is always circling around the city, how can you not see it?" Wonder the hunter.

"Hey.. Do you think Lucero is lying? We haven't seen the white dragon yet" Joon Sung added to the fact that they haven't seen the dragon.

"Eh?!" He immediately looked at the window and looked up at the sky. [No one?!] His eyes opened very wide and he slowly turned his head towards the raid 2 team.

"You're right.. Where is he?" With a worried face and weirdness.

Suddenly, the ground in the area trembled. The vibration slowly grew louder along with the sound of large footsteps. The hunters began to be vigilant with what came to the area they stopped by. One of the members of raid two immediately ran out and peeked behind the upstairs window to ascertain what was approaching them.

After the suspected cause of the tremors appeared, the stalking hunter was shocked by what he saw. A large white dragon with dragonoids walking in groups below came to the area. The hunter immediately turned his head towards the captains with a frightened face, he immediately hinted them to silence noiselessly by giving a finger gesture to the lips.

They all understood the intent of the gesture by nodding. The atmosphere became quiet, there was only the sound of blazing and heat becoming more and more. Smoke from the mouth of the white dragon came out with heat that made the air temperature in the area more agonizing. After the silence ended, the thump from the dragon's footsteps slowly approached.

The hunters remain silent and do not do anything stupid like doing something stupid. They are like hypnotized can not move, the bang and the vibration is increasingly felt. As the tremors stopped, a large eye peered in the window near the stalking hunter, sontak made the hunter immediately cursed beside the window and the other hunters can only stay still while staring at the eyes with a very fast heartbeat.

They hoped that the dragon did not realize them as living beings and immediately ignored them and left. Sure enough, the dragon immediately pulled his eyes from the window and silence ensued again. Aamber, Lucero and Joon Sung can't move their legs. They did not expect that the dragon being talked about would be that big.

They were like sighing like dropping a heavy weight after the eye pulled away, but they did not know what happened next. The white dragon pulled his hands up high and slammed them into the building where they were taking shelter in the meantime.The large hand of the dragon easily destroyed half of the one floor.

The fate of the hunter who was lurking was very ill, his body was also thrown with the crushed rocks and immediately died. Lucero and the other hunters covered their eyes from the flying dust and debris. The huge hole made by the dragon brought the hot wind into the room.

The dragon turned his head into the room and immediately roared towards those inside. His roar let out a hot wind that exceeded that of the city fire, to the point of being able to peel off the skin of those unprotected by the armor.

"Uwaha!!!!!!! his breathing is so hot!" joon said complaining while trying to cover the area of his face with both hands.

"Dissolved! Hurry along! This building is not safe!" Shouted Lucero giving orders.

After Lucero gave direction, they all immediately came out of the building through the gap that existed and they made like Joon Sung who punched the back wall to run from the dragon. But some of them, choosing to run through the hole made by the white dragon because of their panic with the sudden cue.

When they choose to jump through the hole, only death awaits them. Some hunters who just jumped and still in the air. They were immediately sprayed by the blue flames that the white dragon had already prepared. The spray from the white dragon was able to reach many kilometers away across several areas in the city.

The hunters who were hit by the blast could only shout hysterically and turned into ashes. On the other hand, Kirisaki's team that was currently in hiding felt the tremors from the white dragon's attack that reached past their hiding area. Kirisaki team was immediately ready to standby with the possibility that would happen, he said, they immediately prepared with their own weapons while looking up at the ceiling of the basement where the dust and sand were falling due to the vibration.

"What's going on outside?!" Geraldo asked in panic.

"I have a feeling there's a fight out there..." Julie said as she prepared with her flagship arrow.

"Are you sure?!" Ask Julie.

"Let's check it out.." Kirisaki proposes.

Just as they were just coming out of the basement of their hiding place, suddenly someone flew towards them and crashed into the wall that was in the basement. That puff of smoke covered the person who came with the commotion. After the puff of smoke began to dissipate, a person with a thorny shield sat down on the crack of the wall with blood flowing to his face.

"Eh?! Lucero Marquez!" Sontak Kirisaki is surprised to see the identity of the person.

Lucero immediately woke up the broken wall and immediately walked back to the direction he was flown, the hunters could only be silent gawking while staring at Lucero who was walking with his gallantry despite being injured.

"Lucero?! Who's she?" Ask Kirisaki.

"He's the world's 9th rank hunter.." Kirisaki answered Kan's question slowly.

"In-he's ranked 9th?!" Kan was surprised to stare at Kirisaki and immediately turned to Lucero.

Lucero who stood in front of them, smiled broadly, "Hahahahaha that monster is so crazy! With just one hit I got flown this far"

"Eeeee lord Lucero.." A quiet greeting from Kirisaki.

Lucero turned to look at him and looked at Kirisaki for a moment, "Oh, you're Nagotomo's Japanese subordinate, aren't you? Good to help me defeat that white dragon"

Hearing the impossible request for them, made the hunters of the raid one team become frightened and anxious which made the smile of Lucero fade away.

"You're afraid of him?" After Lucero stared with disappointment, he immediately turned towards the white dragon it was in. "You guys are trash!"

The words of Lucero took them by storm and felt like they had failed to become hunters until this very second. Their courage was slowly eroded due to the pressure they had received from first entering the balck dungeon. They could only bow down to accept the condescending words from Lucero, but there was only one person who was angry against him.

"Curtain! What do you mean trash? Don't equate me with anyone else!" Rudy shouted in annoyance and immediately walked towards Lucero.

"Hoo... It seems like someone has the guts among the trash" Lucero's smile came back.

Rudy's treatment also made the captains forward and stand around Lucero.

"You think we're scared?" Kan said glancing towards Lucero.

"Let's hit that white dragon" Kenny said as he pulled out his dual pistol.

"This might be very exciting hehehe" Din shouldered his Kanabo.

"Don't forget me!" Kimberly also went forward.

"Then I'll come down too" Watz also went forward

Lucero glanced at them all with a smile that widened back.

"Hahahaha I drew my words earlier.You guys are indeed great perverted hunters" Ejek Lucero told them because of their appearance, and Kirisaki could only silently smile while coming forward.

Team Raid one began to act again after a long time by not wearing their combat clothes. The arrival of the raid two team makes new hope for those who are already desperate.
