Hunter Sector 7 – Red Valley
The air stank of blood.
Screams, growls, and the crunch of bones filled the ravine. The monster wave here was endless. E to A ranks were the front line—exhausted, breathing hard, bleeding from a hundred cuts, but still holding on.
Lance, a rank B blade specialist, was crouched behind a half-destroyed barricade, panting. His sword was cracked. His left arm dangled uselessly.
"We're falling apart!" he shouted, spitting blood.
"No one's coming, dammit!" a hunter screamed from above. "We are the reinforcements!"
A Rank A woman beside him unleashed a chain of explosions with her staff. The blast sent half a dozen monsters flying—but more replaced them instantly.
"Backline healers are all dead!"
"We need someone stronger up front!"
Behind them, Rank S and SS units were doing their best to lead.
