Chapter 22: C-rank portal raid
Chapter 21
It’s been sixteen hours since the C rank portal appeared. Most hunters had already left for raids, the appearance of portals these past few days had become excessive for a reason no one knew why.
Hunters were a lot busier now, but no one complained since the pay was always worth the stress.
Silver fang was another guild, one rank below Crimson dusk.
A level five team from Silver fang was dispatched to handle the C-rank portal.
One A-rank captain, two B-rank hunters, Three C-rank, and one extra B-rank healer from earth realm.
The A-rank captain was from the fire realm, code name was Crystal, tall slender woman with a stone cold expression. Two B-rank hunters, one from the fire realm and the other from the Earth realm, Three C-rank hunters, two of which were from the water realm and one of them from the ice realm. And finally the healer from the earth realm.
The team stood before the swirling orange portal. Everyone remained quiet but the tension was thick in the air. Everyone was afraid of Crystal, no one liked to be assigned under her during a raid, but they were all unlucky this time. Crystal was well known for being cold hearted and wicked, wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone who messed with her or disobeyed her orders.
They all exchanged quiet glances, wishing each other to stay safe. Crystal gave a subtle nod and stepped into the portal first, disappearing into the light. The rest followed in order, all on high alert for the battle that was to come.
As soon as they crossed over, the landscape shifted into view, a massive, dry canyon split by jagged stone cliffs and towering walls. The air was thick with heat and dust, the sky overhead tinted with a faint red hue.
"Everyone spread out. Watch the left ridge and check for beast movement," Crystal ordered, her voice stern and sharp . She scanned the horizon. "Keep your guards up. We’re not here for fun."
No one said a word, they just obeyed. The group began to move.
