Chapter 1517  Vigamaur Dgaror - Part 10

Rakana Alguiera was the actual leader of the Vigamaur Dgaror in the trial. He might not be the standout youngster, but he had the quality to be the leader. The faction nurtured him to be the leader and was trusted to lead his friends in the trial.

Everything went smoothly in the trial as four members were in the top twenty of the ranking. He would pass with a flying color if everyone managed to pass to the second stage. That was his duty as the leader, ensuring everyone entered the second stage. But everything changed today.

The information that an unknown participant was investigating was the four people in the top twenty. At first, he sent eight people to warn this unknown person.

As a leader, he tried his best to avoid unnecessary conflict with the other factions. His focus was to ensure that everyone passed. But that quickly changed into a disaster. They broke into a fight, and the worst part was that the enemy was not alone. He received the last report from the people he sent earlier, and now he lost contact with them.

In a single day, Vigamaur Dgaror lost eight people. Even though they were not in the top hundred list, they were in the fifty percent that will proceed to the next stage. On top of that, it was way worse than failing to enter the second stage, they died. He needed to explain everything to the faction as the leader.

That was why he brought everyone available, excluding the four in the top twenty list. Seventeen people should be enough to face eight enemies. Following the directions given to him, he arrived in the area.

Rakana signaled the others to slow down. His eyes moved around, investigating the area. He was looking for the trace left behind by his people. It did not take long for them to find the trace, and they started to follow the trace. Until they arrived at the last area where he could not find his people's trace anymore.

He turned to one person who excelled in stealth and scouting. Signaling the person to scout the area ahead. His fear came true as he could not hear the sound of fighting anymore. The fight was over, and he lost eight people.

A few minutes passed, and the person he sent ahead did not come back. He furrowed his brow as he felt uneasy. However, he trusted the man and decided to wait longer. Another five minutes passed, and he could no longer hold back. He sent a message and immediately realized he could not find the name in the communication list. That only meant one thing, the person he sent to investigate ahead was dead.

Rakana felt something odd. The area was too quiet, and he realized that they did not find any calamity on the way. As if someone had killed all calamity around here. Then he realized something, something fatal that he ignored earlier. They might be watched the moment they entered the area.

"Did we encounter any calamity on the way, Hardy?" He asked his friend to make sure he was not making a wrong judgment.

The question was answered by silence. The only thing he heard was the leaves and the wind. It was too quiet for his liking. Rakana turned around and found no one was behind him. His eyes went wide in shock, but he immediately pulled out his broadsword. Holding his sword tightly with both hands as he scanned the surroundings.

Sweat wet his back as fear slowly crawled into him. If it was any other day, he might believe it was a prank from his people. However, there was no way it was a prank, not in this situation. Something got them, and he did not know that something.

It could be their enemy, or it could be a high-ranking calamity. He wanted to believe more it was the latter. If it was their enemy, then his faction was challenging someone on the same level as Ian Carmen Florentia. The worst part, it seemed like their enemy was the assassin type that killed people silently.

Rakana became even more tense with the silence. It was until he heard a slight movement for a second right from behind. He turned around in shock as he immediately used his transformation skill.

His clear blue eyes fully widened, could not believe what he saw in front of him. He did not see the enemy, but he saw his missing friends. Sixteen of them, including the person he sent to scout the area ahead. Their bodies were hung on the tree, one tree per person with a black energy sword into their heads. Their body was dangling because of that sword.

Badump! Badump! Badump! Badump! Badump!

His heart went wild as his breathing became ragged. It was not a Calamity, but their enemy. If it was a Calamity who got them, then he would never see their bodies again. And yet their bodies were right before him. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Rakana then heard another movement from behind him. He subconsciously turned around and was about to attack blindly. However, he saw more bodies, nine of them including Timo who was in the top twenty ranking list.

His legs went weak as he lost the grip on his sword. The broadsword fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

"You are so cruel. You can just finish him off just like what you did to the other sixteen."

It was then that Rakana heard a voice, a male voice. He looked up and found Castor, the person who was at the same party as Timo.

Castor waved his hand at Rakana, "Ei, don't give me that look. I am also a captive."

"Have you sent a message to Amos?"

Then Rakana heard a feminine voice right next to him. He almost jumped off the branch, alas he did not have the strength. He lost all of it in the fear. It was to the point that he did not realize that several people were right next to him.
