After leaving the Association building, Miles walked several blocks down the busy district streets. Eventually, he arrived at another massive structure.

The Hunter Trade Center.

Unlike the formal atmosphere of the Association headquarters, this place was far more lively.

Merchants shouted deals.

Hunters negotiated equipment prices.

Weapon displays filled entire store windows.

This was where hunters bought everything they needed for dungeon raids.

Miles stepped inside.

If he was g

    A faint chuckle escaped Darius Wilson's lips as he looked at the young man standing protectively before Mia. Despite the destruction surrounding them and the countless reports he had received regarding Miles' rampage through the headquarters, the Guildmaster's expression remained composed, almost amused, as though he were evaluating an interesting specimen rather than confronting the person responsible for reducing one of the city's strongest guilds to ruins. "You certainly live up to the reports," Darius remarked, slowly clasping his hands behind his back while his overwhelming aura continued filling every corner of the shattered executive floor. "Arrogant... fearless... and reckless enough to challenge an entire guild by yourself. I had expected confidence from the person who crippled Derek, but I never imagined it would border on insanity." His golden eyes drifted briefly toward the collapsed walls and the devastated offices before returning to Miles. "You've fought your way th

    The thick cloud of dust slowly drifted through the newly exposed chamber as fragments of shattered concrete continued falling from the fractured ceiling. The once-hidden interrogation room, concealed behind layers of reinforced walls and powerful mana barriers, had finally been laid bare. Broken steel bars protruded from the demolished entrance, while the remains of surveillance equipment sparked helplessly beneath the rubble after being destroyed by the tremendous force of Miles' punch. For a brief moment, everything became eerily quiet. Miles' heartbeat echoed loudly in his ears as his eyes searched frantically through the settling dust until they finally found the person he had crossed an entire city to save. "Mia..." The word escaped his lips almost as a whisper. His feet moved before his mind could process what he was seeing. Across the room, Mia hung suspended by restraints attached to the ceiling, her wrists secured high above her head. Her clothes were torn and st

    Several kilometers away from the devastated headquarters of the Knights Guild, the Wilson Mansion stood in complete tranquility.The sprawling estate, illuminated by rows of elegant garden lights, remained blissfully unaware of the catastrophe unfolding across the city.Servants quietly attended to their nightly duties while security personnel patrolled the grounds with practiced discipline, and inside the mansion's grand study, Darius Wilson sat behind an enormous mahogany desk reviewing documents related to several upcoming Demon Rift expeditions.As the Guildmaster of the Knights Guild and patriarch of the Wilson Family, very little within the city escaped his notice. His influence extended far beyond hunting, reaching into construction, finance, and local politics, making the Wilson name synonymous with power throughout the region. Few people possessed the courage to oppose him openly, and even fewer would dare provoke the guild that stood behind his family's authority.A sharp

    The instant the Vice Captain's order rang through the corridor, the entire floor erupted into motion.More than twenty A-Rank hunters launched themselves toward Miles from every direction, their movements so fast that ordinary civilians would have perceived nothing more than streaks of light flashing across the ruined hallway.Their combined mana surged through the building like a violent storm, causing the reinforced walls to groan under the overwhelming pressure as windows shattered from the sheer force released by so many elite hunters fighting simultaneously.Fire users filled the corridor with blazing torrents that surged like dragons hungry to devour everything in their path. Wind manipulators compressed the surrounding air into razor-sharp crescents capable of slicing through reinforced steel, while earth-element hunters forced massive stone pillars to erupt from the floor in an attempt to trap their target. Lightning crackled violently between shattered support beams as seve

    The devastated corridor fell into an eerie silence as dust slowly drifted through the air, settling over the shattered marble floor and the remains of collapsed walls.Emergency lights flashed relentlessly, bathing the ruined hallway in alternating crimson and white while the shrill wail of the evacuation alarm echoed throughout the Knights Guild headquarters. Every pair of eyes was fixed on the motionless figure of Duren lying inside the crater several meters away. The once-proud captain of the Special Raid Team, a veteran A-Rank hunter whom countless junior hunters admired and respected, had been defeated so completely that the sight before them seemed almost impossible to comprehend.For several long seconds, nobody moved.The hunters who had rushed to reinforce Duren found themselves rooted to the spot, their expressions frozen somewhere between disbelief and fear. They had expected to arrive in time to assist their captain in subduing an intruder, not to witness one of the str

    The realization arrived far too late.Duren staggered backward through the rubble of the demolished office, his breathing ragged as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Only minutes earlier he had believed himself to be the hunter and Miles the helpless prey, yet that illusion had shattered the instant the young man abandoned the passive defense he had maintained throughout the interrogation. Every exchange since then had only widened the gulf separating them, and no matter how desperately Duren searched for an explanation, none presented itself.His instincts screamed at him to run.Years of surviving inside Demon Rifts had sharpened those instincts into something he trusted more than his own eyes, and at this very moment they were telling him that remaining here would only lead to death.Unfortunately…His pride refused to listen."You..." Duren growled, forcing mana to surge through every muscle in his body as veins bulged across his neck and forearms. "Whatever trick you're
