To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 46: New Page



Chapter 46: New Page

The days with Ars and White Wood's group have ended as the work of harvesting Father Tree's body is over. It means -

"This is a farewell, Ms. Latifa," said Elisa sadly.

"Aw, don't worry. If there is a chance I will visit you. "

Latifa hugged Elisa, giving the impression of their farewell.

~~~~~~~~~~~

They meet again two days later.

"I'm happy to work together again, Elisa!"

"Eh! Are we going to harvest Father Tree again?!"

That surprised Elisa. Father Tree is the boss of the strongest area that difficult to deal with. Moreover, as tree monsters, they were difficult to find in the vast Giant Leaf Woods.

"Well, that Ars yesterday came to us again and said that he had just hunted another Father Tree. Unbelievable, right?"

How strong is Ars?

The question grew in the heads of those who knew Ars. For Jimmy, Latifa, and Elisa who already know that Ars has Abyssal Blessing, they can know how strong Ars is. Even though -

"This is already strange enough."

The maximum appearance of Killer Bee is once a month. It took 5 weeks, and a week of Raid to conquer the Bull Hornet Nest.

Since they can only find Father Tree on the 1st Floor, its existence is rare. In one year, the maximum number of Father Tree is only 3 that can be found. However, Ars could find 3 Father Tree in two months.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Waaaaaa!"

"Watch out!"

"That's a freaking leaf or iron disk!?"

Ars and White Wood's group are working together to conquer Father Tree.

Five of Ars's men are in charge of providing assists. White Wood with 12 members in charge of handling the fight.

Jimmy is the Main Tank of the team. Latifa is Main DPS. White Wood fought professionally as they were all Gold Hunters.

Behind, Elisa along with a Buff Supporter from White Wood provided support from behind.

Father Tree is a tricky monster to fight. It didn't move, but its roots could stretch out and become a spear. The leaves are as tough as iron, and can also be used as projectile weapons.

Father Tree's conquest could take 2-3 days. However, since 12 of the 18 members of the group were Gold Hunters, they were able to complete it in that one day.

"Get ready, you two!" Latifa and the two Archers in the group prepared to launch their best attack. "Shoot!"

Fireballs, wind arrows, and blue lightning bullets being shot at Father Tree.

The three charge attack can be parried by Father Tree with all his leaves. However, because the power of the three attacks was enormous, it weakened Father Tree's branches.

"Charge your mana! We will finish in one last strike!"

Latifa shouted their victory sign.

But suddenly -

Boom!

A projectile sword shot pierced Father Tree from behind.

"What is that!?"

"Who attacked just now?!"

Regardless of what attack and who carried it out, Father Tree got defeated.

"I can't believe you guys are still taking the old ways to take care of this old man!"

A man appeared from behind Father Tree.

"Ars!"

It is Ars. The man who should still be practicing to learn the Abyssal Art.

That surprised White Wood at his appearance. Randi was grateful that the raid was over, but four of his men got angry at him.

"You, if you could beat that thing easily, why didn't you participate in the first place?!"

"Why did you even disappear?!"

"Yeah, right!"

Ars ignored the babble of Randi's men, then went to Randi and Jimmy, who were standing close together.

"Hey, I'm just here to say -"

Suddenly a wooden branch appeared to attack Ars.

"What is that, attack!?"

Everyone prepares their weapons again.

However, what came was not an attack as they thought.

Latifa realizes the Abyssal Art that attacked Ars. "That, Father Tree's Spine!"

The branch from the Ulterior Phantasm pulled Ars back the way he had come.

"Don't sell the crops before I come back!"

Ars shouted the message when he got arrested by Hwang.

Everyone stunned because it happened like in the movies they watched. Where a teacher catches his student who is truant.

______________________

White Wood and Randi's group harvested wood from Father Tree's body without Ars.

Since Ars ordered not to sell the crops before he arrived, that meant that they had to store the crops, and the place to store them was in the large warehouse outside the South West Station.

It was a public warehouse and all Hunters could store their belongings there.

In the large warehouse, White Wood and Randi's group got into trouble with other Hunters.

"Why is a company full of Gold Hunter doing here?!"

Lucas, one of the three Gold Hunters living on the 1st Floor. Leading several groups of Hunters, they came to complain about White Wood's whereabouts.

Jimmy came at the right time. "What happen here? Lucas?"

Lucas and Jimmy are acquaintances, even though their relationship is not good.

Lucas disdainfully said: "It's you, slave of the Pig Emperor."

"Troy the Gluttony went to the 3rd Floor two years ago. Don't you have another ridiculous name to call me?"

Jimmy was completely unfazed by the ridicule directed at him. However, one thing that might make him unable to move.

"Hey, Jimmy, have you forgotten the [Regulation - Hunting Grounds]?"

[A Hunting Grounds (Floor / Area) cannot be monopolized. Neither in any reason nor in any case. Hunting Grounds with difficulty and party recommendations must not be interfered with by Hunter ranked above the recommendation.]

Almost all of White Wood's members are Gold Hunters. This is in violation of the regulations. Indeed, there is no written penalty for violating the Regulation. However, that does not mean that there are no bad influences that come to the offender.

A close example is the protesters standing behind Lucas.

'The 1st floor is no longer a hunting ground for strong people like you?!' Such an expression shown by them.

But Jimmy, again, refused to take all the protests seriously.

" [Regulation - Demand Services: Requests for any services are allowed as long as both parties make an agreement]. We are here only as service providers, and they are our tenants. "

Jimmy pointed to Randi's group.

It shocked Randi and his men. The situation was too tense for them to face as Silver Hunters.

Lucas approached Randi sarcastically. Then asked: "What rank are you?"

"Silver," said Randi, a little shaking.

"A Silver Hunter group that hired the Gold Hunter group to work for them?" Lucas pulled his face away, then laughed. "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing their leader laugh, the protesters laughed too.

Randi's men were got upset about being humiliated like that. Meanwhile, Randi could only smile wryly because he could not handle the situation.

"Why are you gathering like goat's shit like that?!"

Everyone became speechless because of someone's insolent words.

"Ars!"

Those words came from Ars, who was carrying one Bear Beast Blade in his right hand.

Ars's arrival made the atmosphere chaotic. Since the warehouse is outside the Station area, Ars who is holding a weapon means that he is ready for a fight.

But wrong, Ars stabbed his Bear Beast Blade into one of the large pieces of wood, and seemed to be holding on to it.

"Hey, White Wood, how much total did I get this time?" Ars asked Jimmy.

"This Father Tree is smaller than yesterday. So don't expect that you will get much. "

That annoyed Ars, but he still had to accept the results he got. "All right, Rand -"

Like a horse being caught by a cowboy, a rope tied Ars's neck and choked him. The rope tried to pull him, but he fought back with his left hand, trying to pull the rope, and his right hand gripped the sword.

"Randi hol' - money - untl - I came -"

Zroom!

The rope also drawn large pieces of wood along with Ars.

The large chunk of wood weighed about 200kg, but Ars could pull the chunk of wood with him. It was so surprising, but even more shocking that the cowboy who tried to draw Ars. That person was an old man outside the warehouse.

"Next time I - wiiiiiiiiiihaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The old man successfully pulled Ars.

"Don't give mercy to that insolent boy, Hwang," said Jimmy, a little amused.

Jimmy knows Hwang very well. Moreover, the two of them were not that different in age.

Lucas, who had just recovered from his stupor, confused about what had just happened. Plus, "Who the fck is that?", The person who just arrived made him very curious.

"That brat just now, he is the true leader of this group."

"The true leader?"

"And that old man was Hwang, or better known as, The Firestorm Archer."

The figures of Ars and Hwang who made the chaos farther away. With Hwang still pulling Ars like Ars is an animal.
