2026-07-21 11:27:58The musty smell of wet earth mixed with the scent of mold stung Eka's nasal cavity. His eyelids felt as heavy as lead as he tried to open them. The first thing that hit his consciousness was the roasting heat on his right arm. A rough bandage cloth wrapped his hand from the wrist up to the shoulder line, covering the flesh that was severely blistered from forcing energy two days ago.
Eka blinked slowly, adjusting his eyes to the dim light. He was lying on a thin mat insid

Chapter 38: Tactics for Survival
Night rain poured over the Central Headquarters courtyard of Camp Bogor. The cold water droplets were entirely unable to extinguish the heat from the blazing fires devouring the warehouses in the distance. The smell of scorched wood smoke mixed with the metallic scent of fresh blood stung the nasal cavity.Baskoro did not talk much. The Supreme Leader of Camp Bogor pressed his shoes into the ground, destroying the paving blocks beneath him. The man's muscular body was instantly coated by a dark silver sheen. Metal elemental Qi condensed all over his skin, transforming mortal flesh into impenetrable carbon steel armor.The giant axe in Baskoro's hand swung, cleaving the air. The sound of tearing wind was incredibly sharp.Eka crossed the God-Slaying Sword in front of his chest. His calculating brain warned him that parrying a Peak B-Rank attack was suicide, but Baskoro's speed cut off all his escape routes.<
Chapter 37: Bloody Revolution
The sound of heavy metal smashing against the interrogation room's steel door was deafening. The walls of the central headquarters hallway shook violently.Baskoro stood with a beet-red face just five steps away from the door. The Supreme Leader of Camp Bogor hadn't had the chance to walk far when an incredibly thick aura of death seeped out from the gaps of the room. He felt an aura that made the hairs on his neck stand up, followed by the very clear sound of cracking bones."Destroy the door right now." Baskoro roared. The veins on his neck bulged hard.Four large-bodied guards swung their Qi-coated sledgehammers simultaneously. The ten-centimeter-thick steel door dented inward. Its hinges screamed, nearly detaching from the concrete wall.Inside the dark room smelling of metallic blood, Eka pressed his chest. Fresh blood dripped from his nose, falling onto the floor already wet with the blood of t
Chapter 36: The Night of Execution
A light drizzle soaked the lower-caste refugee area. Puddles of mud crunched under the boots of a dozen neatly uniformed guards. They surrounded Eka's faction tent with drawn weapons, breaking the tense silence of the night.A patrol commander stood in front of the torn tent flap. The man glared sharply at Eka and Sopian."Supreme Leader Baskoro summons the two of you to central headquarters. He wants to speak tonight," the commander stated in an ordering tone. His hand rested ready on his sword hilt.Inside the tent, Aris condensed fire Qi in his palm. The room temperature spiked instantly. Siti stepped forward. The air around her began to freeze into small ice crystals. The two B-Rank Hunters were ready to slaughter the dozen low-caste guards if they dared to touch their commander.Eka looked back. He stared at Aris and Siti with a gaze as cold as a glacier, then shook his head slowly. A very firm
Chapter 35: The Tyrant's Blood Tax
Eka and Budi's gazes met under the dim light from the remaining embers in the fireplace. Budi stood tall with his thick rock-plated sword raised high. His eyes looked at Eka with deep satisfaction, waiting for a plea for mercy from the young man cornered against his bedroom wall. Thin smoke billowed from their previous weapon clash. The sharp smell of dry earth mixed with sweat filled the air in the room."Do you have any last words you want to say, you damn Hunter?" Budi repeated his question. His laugh sounded degrading, echoing among the destroyed furniture. "Did you think you could enter my room undetected? You must have killed my guards outside. But in front of me, you are just a breathless little kid. Where are the rest of your friends? Did they leave you here to die alone?"Eka did not say a single word. His breathing was rapid. His right wrist throbbed with pain, as if a rusty nail was driven right between his bones. The young man stared into Budi
Chapter 34: Surprise Attack & the Arrogance of a B-Rank Hunter
The sound of an explosion shattered the silent night at Camp Bogor Central Headquarters. A bright orange fireball erupted into the air, devouring the roof of the storage warehouse on the left wing of the main building. The falling drizzle failed to extinguish the flames that danced wildly against the night sky. The smell of scorched wood and black smoke instantly stung the nasal cavities of anyone in the area.Panic broke out in a matter of seconds. Warning sirens wailed sharply, piercing the air. Dozens of neatly uniformed guards ran through muddy puddles. They shouted at each other while raising their weapons flowing with raw Qi."Put out the fire. Guard the eastern perimeter, do not let the flames spread to the armory." A patrol commander shouted from the headquarters courtyard. His voice was drowned out by the clatter of boots running frantically toward the source of the chaos.The attention of the entire guard force was fully focused on the left wing.
Chapter 33: Seeds of Rebellion
The sound of colliding metal resonated all the way up to the top of Camp Bogor's steel walls. The heavy blast that struck the main gate made the concrete floor under Budi's boots tremble violently. The man almost lost his balance.Budi swallowed hard. As a Level B Hunter leading the western gate division, his instincts immediately read the scale of that impact. That was not an attack from a pack of low-level wild demons. An explosion that loud could only come from a mid-to-high tier Demon going on an absolute rampage."Commander! Something is breaking down the gate!" yelled a guard with a deathly pale face. His hands shook wildly as he gripped his makeshift rifle."Open the main gate right now!" Budi roared. He pulled his greatsword from his back. The veins on his neck bulged hard. "Those Hunters we used as bait must all be dead in the Northern Sector by now. Only a Level B Demon could output that kind of destructive power. Ready your weapons! I'll chop it
