The Hunter System
Chapter 51 - 5 Hunter Jobs (4)
It had already been two days since the raid team had entered into the gates of that A-level Dungeon.
Everyone in front of the gate started to get anxious as none of the B rank hunters came out to be replaced by any other B rank hunters.
Among them, the senior reporters who were doing the live broadcast began to assume.
"What's really going on? Are they okay?" ask one of the reporters.
"If I look at the A-ranked Dungeon raids in other cities and countries, they usually often replace injured B-rank hunters. Why didn't they do it for two days?" ask the other reporter.
One of the speakers who was a retired B rank hunter in City T, answered those questions calmly. "Let's think positively. Maybe they can handle it well, right?"
"Remember, our city has 4 A rank hunters with different jobs. They can complement each other well because jobs are different and rank evenly."
What the television reporters are talking about, can make the entire audience a little relieved, especially when the speakers give assumptions very optimistically.
But only a few seconds later, though, the relief was instantly replaced by a huge feeling of anxiety and worry as the 21 B rank hunters suddenly walked out of the gate with extremely severe injuries all over the body them.
Even more worrying, there were 6 Healer-type hunters in the entourage who came out. That is, the team inside already did not have a Healer at all.
"What's going on? Is the raid over?" asked one of the gate guard officers who immediately welcomed the arrival of the hunters.
"Do we have to go in now?" ask one of the B rank hunters who are on the reserve team.
"Don't! Please stay awake here!" exclaim one of the B rank hunters that just came out of the gate.
"Please seek help. K-we'll all die if no S-rank hunter helps." Pinta was one of the hunters who appeared to be the most severely injured.
What he said was later justified by his comrades who looked extremely panicked and desperate.
"They're very brutal monsters. Please contact the Central Association and request an S rank hunter to be sent here!"
Similar requests continued to be voiced by the hunters who had just come out from inside the gate.
.........
"This seems so bad. If all the hunters talk like that, City T seems to be in great danger." Said one of the reporters who was in a live broadcast.
He actually spoke slowly, only to be listened to by one of his colleagues. But, what he said could be heard very clearly by the viewers of the local television station and it eventually made the residents of T City panic.
The government who was watching the live broadcast also immediately mobilized military members to evacuate all residents who were within a radius of 10 kilometers from the gate.
There was only 1 day left before Dungeon Break. So, the Government immediately took steps to save their citizens.
.........
When all the hunters who were in front of the gate and all the media crew who were there were in a state of panic, a tall, thin man suddenly came with a very alarming appearance.
He walked with a slouch while holding his stomach that was still sick due to his internal injuries that were still not healed.
His appearance managed to grab the attention of everyone and make everyone who was there silent just to pay attention to him.
"H-hey... Who are you? What are you doing? Get away from the gate!" exclaimed the captain of the watchdog team who was still busy making a phone call to ask his office to send an unemployed C or D rank healer to help heal seriously injured hunters.
"I want to go in" said the man in a soft voice as he pointed towards the gate.
"What?!"
The head of the supervisory team was silent while paying attention to the man's condition that looked unfavorable. In addition to his extremely messy appearance as if he had just returned from an extremely heavy battlefield, his pale face also signified that he was being unwell.
"He's a hunter" thought the captain of the watchdog team.
"Master hunter, this is Dungeon rank A. And again, you don't seem all right... Hey!"
"Damn it." said the head of the supervisory team as he looked at the hunters around him, who were none other than his men.
Usually, at times like this, they would chase after hunters who did not have permission and were not registered in the raid team like the hunters who had just barged in. But, since they knew inside there was extremely dangerous, the Association's hunters instantly looked away as the team captain stared at them. They knew that the team captain was looking for the man who had to chase the hunter to bring him back.
......................
The joint raid team led by Lex Brown looks very tired.
They were currently only fighting to try to prevent the monsters from approaching the gate because Dungeon Break was about to happen, having previously attempted to send out B rank hunters who had already been severely injured in order to get out of this damned Dungeon while protecting them.
"I'm almost out of Mana energy! You guys get out first, I can't protect you anymore!" exclaimed Lex, the Tanker who from the beginning tried very hard to protect his comrades.
Behind the middle-aged man, Robbie Cale who was also severely injured tried to remain standing while holding Lex's body that had been dazed.
Only with Lex, they're alive. Lex was the most battle-hardened hunter to withstand the most difficult high orc attacks to deal with, until he also became the most severely wounded hunter among the remaining hunters.
"You go, we'll be here to hold them" Ivory told Jack Paul, Joey Garin and Edmund Green, who had just sat next to him, while delivering a long-range attack on dozens of high orcs in front of Lex.
The three hunters had just run out of Mana energy after helping Lex block the dozens of high orcs that were still gnawing at him.
Meanwhile, in a place not far from them, Revi McCoy was dueling with one of the high orcs who escaped from Lex's aggro skill and was wanting to go towards the gate.
Revi's condition is also very concerning. One leg was badly injured. The high orc knows that Revi fights by relying on his speed and he always targets his opponent's legs.
It was still a good thing Revi did not lose any of his legs when the thorny club that the high orc used as a weapon hit his feet very hard.
"Ughhhh...!"
Revi instantly bounced away as a high orc club had just slammed right into his stomach.
He tried to get up, but a severe injury to one of his legs made the man unable to move agilely anymore.
Seeing that the opponent was already very tired, the high orc who had just started Revi, immediately jumped and lunged at him by swinging the club towards the man's head.
"Death to me..," muttered Revi when he saw the high orc club was already very close to his head.
However, just as Revi's head was about to be hit, silk threads shot past his head and snared the high orc club.
Wush...
Srat... Srat...
"Nearly," muttered Alvin while pulling the thorny club from the hands of the high orc after he had snared it, intending to snatch the weapon.
However, due to the strength of the high orc grip on the weapon and the strength of Alvin's power when pulling the weapon, the high orc also flew when Alvin pulled it.
["Hey, he came along with his weapon."]
"That's better."
Alvin immediately opened the inventory window and took his sword and...
Wush...
Crack...!!!
Looking at the flying high orc heads, all the hunters and dozens of other high orcs that were in front of Lex Brown simultaneously turned towards a tall, thin man who had just slashed at the creature's neck.
"My bro!" Jack cried while jumping up so excitedly, when he saw the hunter he had been waiting for finally appeared as well.
