Meanwhile, at the place where Draco and Leon are.
A three meter tall figure with a giant-like body and long hair roared into the sky like a ferocious beast. Seeing the many monsters rushing towards him, he instantly swung the giant axe in his hand.
Each time the swing, his opponent's body was instantly cut into two.
Not far away from him, a figure of a man with dark green armor covered his entire body. He used the spear very skillfully. Turning the spear from right hand to left or vice versa every time, the man flexibly hollowed out the heads of the monsters around him.
Other than them, there were also hundreds of ferocious warriors who faced monsters wildly. There is absolutely no fear.
They are Leon and Draco.
Now, Leon no longer relied solely on his body. He was no longer stubborn and willing to wear a weapon.
Draco also ditched his desire to keep remembering his past by letting his left arm go. Now he was completely healed, and fighting was much better than before.
Seeing Ark killing dangerous creatures so easily in plain sight made the two of them no longer stubborn. Draco and Leon ...
Not wanting to be left far behind by the chairman as well as his comrades!
Not only in the place of Draco and Leon, but in other places around the defensive walls were also very crowded. Many fighters fought all out with the opponent.
Nevertheless, they were still quite relieved as the enemy was much lighter compared to what they had imagined.
Whether it was evolution-stifled or something like that, most of the enemies were level 1 and level 2 creatures just like the previous year. Although the number of level 3s was also quite a lot, but not as much as they had expected. There were also some level 4 creatures that appeared. However ...
There were absolutely no level 5 creatures that they feared.
After all, level 5 creatures themselves were already extremely rare. So, arguably, they have finally achieved the standard value of surviving in this cruel world.
In the sky, Saito, Huginn, and Muninn kill thousands of mutated flying insects.
Some of the creatures did not die, but were struck down into the area within the Sword of Sufferings headquarters. Abigail led many workers who were considered weak compared to soldiers to finish off the dying creatures.
Kurona and Shirona went to watch the inner area, making sure no powerful flying creatures barged in.
The murders of Saito, Huginn, and Muninn. A drizzle of blood occasionally descended soaking the area of the Sword of Sufferings headquarters.
At a time when everyone was busy, Ark who was wearing all-black armor with wings on his back went from the roof of the building to another building around the base. Surround the great wall to see the battle going on underneath.
After touring for quite a while, Ark sat on the roof of one of the buildings. The wing on his back was gone. The young man stared at the scene below with a calm expression.
“Looks like I really no longer needed.”
Ark muttered softly. Despite saying such a sentence, there was no sadness or happiness on his face.
“Even if I go on a long-term expedition mission, the main headquarters should be able to survive,” Ark added.
The night wind hit the handsome face of the young man. His long white hair danced around, ruby red eyes wailing the big battle below quietly.
“Then ... already decided.”
Ark's eyes narrowed.
“The city will be the next destination.”
***
Seven days passed.
“I guessed it, you're here, Kak.”
Lisa walked up to Ark who was standing quietly while observing the bread tree planting that was today completed. Not only bread trees, vines that will become natural fortresses are also planted on the great wall. Large plantations have also been run.
“Do you really intend to leave, brother? Although everything is ready, it is not too late to cancel everything.”
Lisa glanced towards Ark who was standing with a flat expression. Seeing that the young man did not reply, he just stood still by his side.
After a while, Ark finally opened his mouth.
“I really did not expect to be able to make a group that is able to survive in this chaotic world, even making a place that is considered as ‘Utopia’ by the people.”
Ark itself in no way considers itself as ‘Dewa’ which sets everything in its hands as there must be some mishaps that are not in line with its plans. He just uses all his knowledge, is ruthless, and justifies all means to achieve his goals.
Therefore, Ark himself never considered himself a good person.
“While I'm gone, please take care of this place. Please take care of our home, Lisa.”
Lisa was stunned for a moment. He then immediately saluted and replied.
“Understood, Chairman!”
After saluting, Lisa hesitantly asked.
“If you may know, how long will you be gone, Brother?”
“Maybe until late spring. Maybe until the end of summer. Maybe until the end of autumn.” Ark said flat. “I don't know for sure. Which is clear ... I will definitely be back before winter.”
Hearing that, Lisa nodded. Imposing a smile on her face, the girl said.
“Then, make sure to return safely, Brother!”
“En.”
Ark nodded lightly. He turned around, then went walking towards the main headquarters.
After returning home, Ark immediately took his luggage. He then came out, rushing towards where the people were already waiting. However, a large white figure blocked his path.
Looking at the figure of the white wolf, Ark looked up then said.
“Sorry, Finn. This time you can't come.”
Seeing Finn growling, Ark approached him and rubbed the head of a creature larger than his body.
“You must know, your whereabouts and your group members are very important in this headquarters. You are considered as the guardian beasts of the Sword of Sufferings. So, please take care of the house while I'm away.”
Finn rubbed his head against Ark's body. The creature then took a few steps back and made a loud howl.
The voices of the huskies and mutated dobermans instantly followed. Echoes throughout the Sword of Sufferings headquarters and the surroundings.
Carrying a large bag, Ark went straight towards the direction the people had been waiting for.
There, in addition to the higher-ups of the Sword of Sufferings, there were also Roxanne and the former members of the golden rose, the beautiful assassins. There were also 200 level 2 warriors, and 50 level 1 men consisting of a freight carrier, artisan, and chef.
Arriving at that place, two figures immediately ran into Ark's embrace.
“Kurona, Shirona .. you must lead the headquarters as long as I am not around.”
After saying that, Ark turned his gaze to Draco, Leon, Saito, and Claus.
“The four of you will lead another expedition group. For the two groups, the rest of the subordinates from my group and Jay in the previous session will be your members. Remember clearly the task I gave you guys.”
“Ya, Chairman!” answer the four of them in unison.
Ark then turned his gaze to the higher-ups of the Sword of Sufferings. Seeing the figures of Lisa, Natasha, Abigail, Stacy, Old Franky, Darin, and other higher-ups.
“Then, we leave.”
After saying that, Ark released the embrace of Kurona and Shirona. The young man turned away. Jay, Roxanne, and the troops they led finally set off.
Not only the higher-ups, all the group members who were in the city also escorted their departure.
Huginn and Muninn flew through space, becoming road guides for them.
Looking up at the blue sky without a single speck of clouds, Ark felt ...
It's going to be a long journey.
