“Monster tide should be here in around four hours. Should we activate the formations now” a man who looks in his mid forties asked. The man had long white hair and black eyes, his eyebrows were furrowed a little and he was looking at the distance with a solemn face.
The man was hovering in mid air and there was an invisible pressure around his body that make people restless if they look at him for a long time.
The man’s name was Damian, and he was the guild master of the ‘White Shark’ guild which is the platinum rank guild of the Naphliam city, and just like Sabastian, he is also an S rank hunter.
“Let’s wait for one more hour before we activate the formations”
Beside Damian, a tall woman with a big chest, and slender waist was hovering. Even though her face was average, her figure was even better than supermodel’s because of her training.
The woman’s name was Amanda and she was the principal of the Clear Sky Academy, and just like Damian, she was also an S rank hunter.
“Did you arrange everything in the city?” Amanda asked Damian.
“Don’t worry, I asked Ron to not come here and stay in the city. He will take action as soon as dark guild will start their attack” Damian said while nodding his head.
Ron is also an S rank hunter who is a member of the white shark guild, previously he was supposed to support the defence line here, but after receiving the information from Sabastian, Damian asked him to stay in the city so that they will be able to stop the attack as soon as possible.
“I wonder from where that guy is getting all this information. Just a few days ago he informed all of us about the cause of dungeon outbreaks and now this. Did his guy plant a spy in the dark guild” Amanda said while rubbing her chin.
“Who cares from where he got this information from, as long as it can help us I don’t care about it” Damian said not thinking about the source of the information.
Soon one hour passed by.
“Let’s activate the formations,” Amanda said and contacted the operator of the formations through her bracelet.
In order to keep formations safe, the authorities of Naphliam City made a large network of arrays. Through these arrays, the cores of all the formations were shifted near the city gate.
Even though the cores of the formations are very far away from the place where the formations are installed, they can still receive energy through the network of arrays they created.
They shifted the cores near the city gate so that they will not be destroyed during their fight against the monster tide.
After contacting the operator Amanda and Damian waited for a few seconds.
Soon they saw the formation of the S rank zone was activated.
On the ground below Damian and Amanda, a golden coloured horizontal line which was thousands of metres long lit up, and a golden coloured illusionary wall started to rise up from that line.
Just like the horizontal line, the illusionary wall was also thousands of metres long and was looking like the city wall that is covering the entire Naphliam city.
When the wall rose thirty meters, the top of the wall started to solidify, in just three seconds the top of the illusionary wall was completely solidified and Damian and Amanda landed on it.
Even though the top of the wall was solidified, the wall from below was still illusionary.
“Check if it is working or not,” Amanda said to Damian who jumped down from the top of the wall and landed on the ground.
After coming down he first took off his bracelet and put it away in his storage ring.
After putting away the bracelet he tried to walk past the wall which was looking illusionary, but when he touched the wall he was pushed back and wasn’t able to pass through it.
This is the formation of the S rank zone, only monsters who are below A+ rank can pass through it.
After confirming the formation was working Damian wore his bracelet again and tried to pass through the illusionary wall.
This time just as he touched the wall a beep sound came from his bracelet and he was able to pass through it.
Seeing he was able to pass through after wearing the bracelet Damian nodded his hand and flew up, “The formation is working fine” he said to Amanda while landing beside her.
“All of you take your position” Amanda shouted in a loud voice looking at the hunters who were stationed in that area.
There were around fifty A+ rank hunters in that area and all of them had a solemn expression on their faces.
Other than A+ rank there were also many A rank hunters present there, but there was no one below A rank in that area.
During monster tide, it will be fighting area of S and A+ rank monsters, so it was useless to station hunters who are below A rank here.
Hearing Amanda all the hunters present there took their positions and waited for the monster tide.
Rumble-!
After around three hours the ground suddenly started to shake.
“It is here,” Damian said while looking in front of him.
All the monsters present there can feel the auras of thousands of monsters and there was no shortage of A and A+ rank monsters among them.
“The aura of S rank monster is quite strong,” Amanda said while clutching her sword tightly.
Just after feeling the aura of hell ape, she can tell that it is not a normal S-rank monster.
Damian also nodded his head after hearing Amanda because he can also feel the powerful aura of the hell ape.
But suddenly the ground stopped shaking like the monster tide which was coming towards them stopped.
Amanda and Damian raised an eyebrow and looked at each other wondering what is happening.
But the next second, the expressions of both of them changed as they felt a very strong fluctuation of mana coming from the far distance.
