Chapter 669
Everyone stands before me in newly upgraded gear.
Many spent yesterday farming for MCP using my absorption skill in the higher floors of the labyrinth, crafting the highest-grade blood-bonded armor they could with A-Grade loot, while others rested and waited for these final hours to draw near.
While there are thousands of C and B-grade hunters around the 8 Great Regions and the Dark Continent who would happily put their lives on the line if I had their regional directors give the order, it is best that an elite squad fights on the front lines.
The weakest troops from the Central Association and the demonic army have red divine cores; only the Crimson Army and the Inner Circle can handle forces like these. Even Bri and Rodrigo stay behind in the Apex Capital with the A-Class hunters for now, continuing to spread the word.
Having semi-powerful, well-known figures in the public eye bringing me more stats to draw from is a battle of its own.
"The war shall begin when the sun rises. Be ready for anything... Any last questions?"
No one speaks, all wearing serious expressions, as the details of our mission were made clear yesterday.
"Good, let's move out."
With myself and Ember leading our army; Abby, Maria, Raven, and Arie follow close behind.
