When it came to facing a Warlock, the APF was more threatening than the guild members. Also, the Red Eagles Guild was only the lower in the list of top rank Guilds in this country, and that too primarily because of their mighty leader.

Their leader happened to be outside the city on an exploration mission. Without their Guild Master, they were much weaker.

The top two guilds, on the other hand, not only had a powerful leader but powerful members as well. It wasn't too much to say that Lucifer was somewhat lucky that he faced the Red Eagles Guild and not the top two guilds, Hunter Association or the APF.

....

As Lucifer walked through the city, a person was keeping an eye on him from a distance.

The person was wearing the clothing of the Red Eagles Guild. He was over a hundred meters away from Lucifer, hiding behind a building, but he could clearly see Lucifer. It was a dark-haired man that seemed to have a scar on his face.

The man was a Variant as well, but he wasn't the one that involved himself in fights. He was a Warrior that had the Physical Ability of Sight. His eyes could act like binoculars, making him see far and wide. He could also see at night.

He was mostly used for spying.

"He seems to be leaving this place. If he continues on this path, in half an hour, he'll be out of the city," the dark-haired man, Deir, told someone over the phone.

He was sent here to keep an eye on Lucifer and to tell the man who was acting as Red Eagles Guild temporary leader about Lucifer's whereabouts.

The new temporary leader of Red Eagles Guild was a Mage who had an A-Rank Elemental Power. His name was Saele.

"He's leaving? That's good. Finally, that monster is leaving. As long as he doesn't come here to kill us, we should be fine. Keep an eye on him. Inform me if he does something. More importantly, don't let him see you," Saele told Deir before disconnecting the call.

Saele turned back and looked at a blue-haired man who seemed to be on a call as well.

"Cheh! I can't seem to call Guild Master. He must be inside some dungeon! What should we do?" the blue-haired man asked Saele.

"Forget it. Let's just call the APF and tell them that we screwed up. We would get punished for not telling them at the start, but it's better than letting that boy go free!" Saele said as he sighed.

"Get me the number of APF," he told the blue-haired man.

Just as Saele said it, the phone at the base started ringing.

He walked closer to the phone and picked up the call.

"Yeah?"

"Send Help! We were wrong! The Monster Index has crossed the danger level! The monsters came out! They're killing everyone here! Aaa-"

The person on the other side of the call seemed scared, as if he was in danger. Before he could speak more, the call was disconnected.

"What happened? You look serious."

The Blue Haired man saw Saele looking at the phone, shocked. He wondered what happened. Who was on the call?

"Saele, tell me! Who was on the call?" he asked again.

"The guards we left outside the dungeon near our city... They are probably dead. The Monster Index levels of the Dungeon crossed the critical levels. The barrier of the dungeon has disappeared," Saele said blankly. "Monsters came out!"

"That shouldn't be the case. We know the reproductive speed of the dungeon. We should still have over a month before the Monster Index reaches the dangerous level. That's when we were supposed to go inside the dungeon to hunt. How could it be so fast?!" The blue-haired man exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face.

"I don't know. All I know is that we need to go there and hunt the Monsters before they reach the city and start killing the civilians!" Saele said.

"But... You know where the dungeon is! We would have to cross that kid to get to the dungeon. He'll kill us all before we can even leave the city!" The blue-haired man said as he held his head that was aching now.

He couldn't think of anything. It was important for them to leave. If they didn't, monsters would swarm the city within half an hour.

But if they left, they had the risk of being killed by Lucifer, who was walking in the direction of the Dungeon as well.

....

In a different part of the country of United Elisium existed a research facility that held high importance for the government.

It was the Dilion Research Facility which was nowhere close to Erygas city where Lucifer was going.

Inside the facility, a man in a white robe was walking inside an empty corridor.

He soon reached the end of the corridor, which had a palm sensor. He placed his palm on it.

After the scan of his palm was completed, the metallic wall that blocked the corridor slid to the side, revealing the path.

The man stepped forward before the wall returned to its original position.

After a few meters, he again reached the end, which had a sensor that scanned his retina.

He again passed through the scan and continued on his path.

After three more obstructions like this, the man finally reached a big room.

The room was entirely empty. There was no human here... At Least none that was walking.

Inside this room, there was only a single thing of value, besides all the machines.

It was a big cylindrical glass container that was filled with some semi-transparent liquid.

Inside that container, someone was floating, eyes closed.

The white-robed man walked closer to the container and caressed the glass gently as he smiled.

"Soon... I'll succeed. No one will stop me. All thanks to you."

It was at that moment; his phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

The man picked up the phone.

"Doctor Rao, General Maxwell wants to talk to you. Should I connect the call?" the person on the other end of the call asked.

"Alright," the white-robed man said calmly.
