Chapter 36: Assassins
Silas narrowed his eyes at the figures in the distance. He watched as several people climbed over the reinforced wall.
’There’s eight of them,’ he thought, channeling mana into his sword.
"All of them are at least A-rank hunters with a platinum core," he said, frowning. ’Two of them should even have diamond cores.’
Silas knew what that meant.
"Someone spent a lot of resources to get these A-ranks to diamond core."
It wasn’t impossible for someone with an A-rank affinity to reach a diamond core, but it was only possible with immense resources and funding.
Silas slowly walked out of the entrance, his sword glowing in an ice-blue color.
’Someone that advances purely on resources isn’t on the same level as a real S-rank diamond core,’ he thought, frowning. ’Still, fighting six platinum cores and two diamond cores on my own will be challenging.’
The number disadvantage wasn’t his only problem, though.
Silas felt limited. he couldn’t use his strongest attacks with the town surrounding the dungeon.
"If it comes to it..." Silas mumbled, gripping his sword tightly before shaking his head.
