Talent Awakening: Draconic Overlord Of The Apocalypse

Chapter 281: First Team Raid Complete



Axel, always quick with a response, shrugged and took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and the others. "Oh, is that so? Well, we'll stay over here. But color me impressed," he said, leaning forward slightly as he narrowed his gaze.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Which one of you took down the boss monster? Better yet, how did you pull it off? This thing looks ginormous."

Blitz, who had been walking just behind Axel, rolled her eyes slightly but grinned at the size of the fallen monster. "And icky," she said with a playful laugh.

Anzo suddenly shouted, his voice full of pride and a bit of exhaustion. "We did it together! Although Alister landed the finishing blow, I did most of the damage! It was a team effort!" He grinned at them.

Beatrice, still eyeing the massive monster, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's with all the heads though?"

Anzo, still hyped up from the battle, yelled back, "Regeneration! That Hydra was a real pain! The thing kept cheating death! Every time I had to cut off another head, it was so damn annoying! But I guess the experience was worth it." He turned to Alister with a smirk. "Ain't that right, team leader?"

Alister, barely acknowledging Anzo's enthusiasm, simply said, "We're done here. We should begin our return."

Just as the words left his lips, the air around them shifted as a loud screech echoed from above. A large number of wyverns landed, their wings creating gusts of wind. Alister's eyes narrowed as he recognized the creatures... the poison wyverns.

One of the wyverns approached Alister and looked up at him, waiting as if seeking permission to feast on the remains of the Hydra.

Alister considered for a moment before responding. "You can eat some of the heads, but not all of them."

He then looked at the rest of the wyverns, their eyes gleaming hungrily. "The rest of you should pull the remnants into the mindspace," he ordered.

The wyverns complied, some of them tearing into the monster's remains, while others moved to gather the carcass pieces, preparing to take them to the mindspace as instructed.

And with that, their first team raid was completed.

...

"And that concludes my report," Alister said as he stood before a seated Guildmaster Yuuto in his office, with only Cinder beside him. It was now nighttime; the raid had taken them quite a while and drained a lot from them, so the rest of the team was in their respective rooms.

Not Alister, though. As the team leader, it was now his responsibility to report back to Yuuto, especially considering that this was his first team raid.

"You did well. Considering this was your first team raid, not only were there no casualties, but you finished in record time. Especially fast, considering you were handling an A-ranked dungeon."

Yuuto rose from his seat, making his way past his table. He walked up to Alister and placed his hand on his shoulder as he said, "I'm impressed. Keep up the good work." He smiled. "Yes, sir," Alister replied calmly with a nod.

Yuuto then slowly returned to his seat as he asked, "Also, what are your thoughts on Anzo? Did he perform well, or was he a nuisance that needs to be taken off the team?"

Alister placed his hand under his jaw as he thought carefully. "He didn't listen to some of my orders and constantly tried to outperform me."

Yuuto then narrowed his gaze as he asked, "So does he need to be removed?" His tone became slightly serious.

Alister suddenly smiled. "No."

"He possesses exceptional skill, gave his best, and despite his arrogance, he is actually a somewhat good team player. He has a nice sense of humor and is a bit fun to have around."

"So I guess he should stay on the team." Alister said, finally dropping his hand from his jaw as he locked eyes with Guildmaster Yuuto.

Yuuto eventually smiled, then said, "Alright, that's good to hear." He then waved his hand dismissively at Alister and said, "You may leave. That will be all."

"Understood," Alister said, proceeding to turn around and make his way out of the office, Cinder trailing behind him as he did.

"Oh, one more thing."

Yuuto called out, causing Alister to suddenly freeze in his tracks, turning back to gaze at him. "Anything else sir?"

"Yes." Yuuto said, pausing fur a while befir he finally spoke, "Alister, save her as quickly as you can."

Alister narrowed his gaze as he said, "I already planned to, you don't need to-"

"No." Yuuto suddenly spoke up, interrupting Alister, "Whever time you think you have left is far shorter now, I recommend you do whatever it takes to save her soon, else you may never see her again."

Alister's eyes suddenly widened, he gritted his teeth, he was about to start demanding answers befir Yuuti suddenly said," Calm yourself, although I can't tell you the spefics..." "You shod try looking fur intelligentv monsters in the Wastelands that are similar to your dragons... That kinds of intelligent monsters that have... Let's us say a small civilization."

As he spoke Cinder narrowed her eyes at him, "If you know something and want to help just tell him, I don't understand what you stand to gain from acting like you know and you don't know at the same time, what are you hoping to achieve by doing that?"

Yuuto narrowed his gaze at her but chose to say nothing, redirecting his gaze at Alister he relaxed a boy as he then said," I'm sure one of them will have what you are looking for." "Similar to my dragons? Little time? I don't understand what do you-"

BAMM!

Yuuto suddenly clapped both of his hands together creating a massive sound that silanced Alister, his gaze turned serious as he then said, "That will be all now, you may leave." Alister balled his hands into fists as if he wanted to fight but he held himself back, he then siddenky sighed then said, "Understood sir." He nodded his head slightly, "I'll be on my way now."
