Chapter 78: BLUE SWALLOW

 A headquarter in Cebu.

 Klein walked with seven people, this was his team.  The Second Raid Team was readying their equipment.

 After an hour they would enter a Black Dungeon, so they prepare in advance.

 "Captain, Guild Leader called you. She said she wanted to tell you something"

 One of Klein's teammates told him.

 " Okay I'm going"

 Klein walked over to the elevator.  After a minute, he was at the top of the building.

 When the guards saw him, they opened the door.  Inside the office, there was a woman holding papers.

 "Guild Leader, you seem to be calling me"

 Klein asked her.  Their Dungeon raid was near so he had to prepare.

 "Sit down"

 Rena Scott told him to take a sit.  Based on her face, they would talk about a serious topic.

 "Yes ma'am."

 Klein sat on a sofa with golden designs. Rena let go of her ballpen and looked at him.

 "We received some news, the Kraken in the Maldives died. Based on the autopsy, it's around a week before the Boss died. And not only that, they said that there are no Red and Violet monsters on the island. Do you have anything to say?  "

 As a Guild leader of the Blue Swallow, she had a large intel. Her intelligence agency gives her good information. Two people went to the island and these two made a scene.

 "As expected of guildleader. I will not lie. Yes, that's my brother, he's awakened. It's been a year now"

 "Good, I like your loyalty ... tell me why did you only tell now?"

 She became serious, she didn't want her workers to have any secrets. A silhouette of blades was forming in the air. 

 "Leader, just calm down. How many times had your office damaged due to being hot-headed"

 "Oh? What did you say?"

 "Sigh, okay I lose. My older brother wants to level up that's why I gave him a  pegasus to go to the Maldives. He can do what he wants. If you try to recruit him, I have no problem. If he will"

 Rena tapped her finger, she was thinking about what's the best outcome if she tries to recruit Mikael. 

 "Hhmm he has three evolved Skills, but he's too weak ... okay."

 She found her answer.  They already know the reason why the Skills of Rank 1s evolved so quickly. The rewards that they get is an Evolution Stone.

 It's a good starter pack, they get stronger faster, and better.  But after years they would lose their advantage.

 Just like Rena.  She already evolved her skill five times.  She already had five skills and her fighting ability was more versatile.

 "For now, I let him be. But, I want to see the face of your arrogant brother. I remember how he looked when we're at the HA, those fierce eyes. I want to gouge them out. Please tell  him that when we meet, I want to test his Skill "

 "Yes leader"

 Klein bow his head, they both have equal strength.  But it couldn't change that Rena was the Guildleader, paying respect is a must.

 "Good, you can leave now. And how long before you close the Portal? The newbies need you, your contract includes taking care of them"

 Klein was only three years old at Blue Swallow, so his position was not yet high.  For the guild, he was just their errand boy.  Though he didn't care, if you compare it to his life when he was in the Redemption.  This was much better.

 "We are talking about Black dungeon so it might take me about one month and a half. If the Boss is stronger, maybe two months"

 He gave an estimation, it's unpredictable.  Many things could happen in a dungeon.

 "Okay okay, you can leave"

 "Thank you, ma'am"

 Klein left and closed the door.  Rena was left inside the office.

 "According to the info, he is just a level 300. And with that strength, he killed the Kraken, solo"

 Rena stopped her paperwork and looked at the ceiling.

 "The monster awakened, huh...."

 .....

 ....

 ...

 ..

 .

 Mikael was inside a large apartment, with him were the two siblings who were currently fighting.

 "Brother !!! you fucking leave me for months!!"

 "I'm sorry, but I call every week."

Seven scratched his head. 

 Seven changed a lot, he was taller and more handsome.  He was stronger and he gained experience.

But he still couldn't win over his sister. 

 Adalyn threw another plate, Seven avoided it.  He was no longer hurt by the plates but he still avoided it, his subconscious was telling him to evade.

 "Don't dodge !! You're a hunter !! You can endure the pain. You must hit at least a dozen !!"

 She threw anything that she saw, she didn't care even if their belongings were damaged.  She was left alone for a few months in the quiet and lonely apartment, she wanted to retaliate.

 "Yes sorry!"

 "Kneel down and I'll punch you in the face!"

 * baam! *

 Seven who was a Hunter was being beaten by his younger sister. 

 Mikael caught everything.

 While the siblings were quarreling, Mikael sorted out the Items that they got in the Boss fight.  They sold the Items that they got when he killed all the Red Boss.

 But the Item he got from Kraken was still inside his inventory.  He took it out and read the description.

 "I can use this"

 He didn't receive a Skill Book.

 What he got was an accessory.

 [Ring of Kraken's trait

 - heals the user's wounds and injuries.

 - 5-hour cooldown]

 It was rare to find regeneration equipment.  He had no intention of selling the ring, he would use it.  He put the ring on his finger.
