The Big Seven Reunion

FangRoar City is the first on the Big Seven Ranking, it was the second on the ranking, but after BlackWater City's destruction, FangRoar stood tall and mighty on top of all the cities in the kingdom.

Unlike any other City in the kingdom, FangRoar City's gates are always open, unafraid of any attack, and confident in its power, but it doesn't mean that it's without protection, as soon as a conflict is spotted, the tigers that roam the city take care of it in the most heinous way, leaving an example to others to never cause trouble in FangRoar City.

When you reach FangRoar City, the first thing that grabs your attention is the City's placement, It's built on a series of majestic cliffs, and if you raise your head, you'll see a giant colossal cliff that takes the form of a tiger's mouth, with volcanoes pouring out of it, the city is situated on a live volcano, which shows the blend of raw nature and people's boundless imagination, all under the control of Magic.

FangRoar's architecture is a marvellous fusion of elements. Live volcanoes fill the landscape forming rivers flowing down the sides like fiery veins, On the sides of the road, statues of Tigers can be seen all around the city, they're rumoured to be the City's eyes and ears, and those statues turn into living creatures by the power magic whenever a conflict is spotted.

The buildings are crafted from an extraordinary type of volcanic rock that makes use of the natural disaster to strengthen the whole city, especially the City Lord's castle, It's impenetrable, it sits in the centre of the Volcano, and it's 5 times bigger than the castle in Waterfall City, and since FangRoar city is in a volcanic environment, The City makes use of it to craft the best artefacts in the kingdom, since the City holds a large population of dwarves that were captured and forced to work for the city as its professional craftsmen, the people of FangRoar aren't all happy, Nobels oppress the common folk, and the only way for the poor people to be somewhat respected, is to have a member who could prove himself worthy in the army of FangRoar, but despite al things, all people of FangRoar blindly love their City Lord and are proud to be under his ruling.

As for military forces, FangRoar City is unmatched, its army is fearless, unlike every City in the kingdom that is raising its defences, closing its doors and preparing to cast its best defensive barriers, They're all wary of the possible threat, however, FangRoar City considers itself the threat, and no one can attack them, its soldiers are bloodthirsty war loving warriors, especially that this City is the president of the strongest alliance in the kingdom, they feel unrivalled.

All those facts about FangRoar City put pressure on the other cities, especially that now the reunion is held here instead of in the capital, The 'New Dawn Alliance' have decided to meet before the Big Seven Reunion, Lyra and Thane reached FangRoar City, and they went into an Inn where they're supposed to meet someone.

"So This is FangRoar City!" said Lyra, she and Thane are undercover, sitting at a table.

"I've only come here once with his majesty the King," said Thane, he is the second DemiGod of the kingdom, he was one of the king's guards, but after the calamity that hit Waterfall City, and seeing the potential of this young 'S Rank' Mage, the King Doria assigned Thane to Waterfall City to work under Lyra, ever since then he sworn loyalty to her.

"Then what do you think of this place?" asked Lyra.

"I didn't have much time to look around, but they are strong," replied Thane.

"Of course they are, and that tiger is more cunning than a wolf!" said Lyra, referring to FangRoar's City Lord.

"You mean the City Lord..." said Thane, a drunk Customer overheard them speak of the City Lord, then the waiter came to bring them their order.

"Mister, Ma'am here's your order," said the waiter, and put a note under the plate.

"Thanks for the meal, here's your tip!" said Lyra, and she gave him a tip with another message folded in it, Lyra uses magic to read the note with one touch, it's a skill she learned when she was a little girl.

"What is it Master Lyra?" asked Thane

"This is the place, in the underground we'll be meeting 'The New Dawn Alliance' " said Lyra, then the drunk guy came their way.

"Hey! you two... *Hiccup* who da hell do ya think yerrr..*Hiccup* The Tiger of our City... Master FangRoar, is not just a City Lord *Hiccup* He is now a kin..." said the drunkard, and before he finished his sentence, a golden coin fell rolling in front of him.

"Oh, this is my lucky day *Hiccup* Long live Master FangRoar..." said the drunkard, and went to follow the coin that rolled all the way to the outside of the Inn.

"So it's you", said Lyra, an elegantly dressed gentleman who appears on the scene, wearing a hat, gold-framed glasses, golden suit, he was sparkling all over the place.

"It's been a long time Miss Lyra," said the Golden man and bows in courtesy.

"Nice to see you, Golden Warbird," replied Lyra.

"Come on, just call me by my name, it's Aurelli," said Aurelli.

The Golden Warbird is the nickname of Aurelia's City Lord, His real name is Aurelli, a name that means The Golden One, He's an Archmage who uses Gold as his Magic element, and his City Aurelia is the City of Gold.

"Quite flashy for an undercover reunion," said Thane.

"Don't be like that, I tried to be as normal as possible," replied Aurelli.

"What about the drunk guy you let go, he's not drunk you know," said Thane.

"You don't need to worry about that, he's already been dealt with," replied Aurelli and smirked, In the alleyway behind the Inn, the Golden coin turned into many sharp spikes and pierced the drunk's body to death.

"We're gonna attract attention if we stay here!" said Lucia.

"That's why I'm inviting you with me to the basement," said Aurelli, then he noticed something on Lyra's lap.

"Oh my... You also brought your powerhouse, look at my cute level 22 Caelum," said Aurelli who revealed his Contracted Beast.

Caelum, She's a level 22 Winged Beast, from the Golden Warblers Race. Owned by Aurelli. Power: 4'800'000. Danger: ★★★★

"Enough with the chitchat mister Aurelli," said Thane.

(This damn Demigod is getting on my nerves) thought Aurelli, then he led the way to the underground.

----------------------------------------------------

Back at Waterfall City, at the Oni Drill Ground stood General Godfrey along with all the Oni, for it's time to form groups to make battle strategies and depart for the outdoor mission.

"I welcome you all ONI!! Today for the mission that you were assigned, you have to form groups and you will be headed to different areas in the hunting ground, The end of the mission is tomorrow night! Is everything clear!!" shouted Godfrey.

"Yes sir!!!" They replied.

(Just you wait Nox, this is the perfect opportunity to take care of you while we're outside, My father will help me deal with you) thought Damian, he was waiting for such an opportunity to take his revenge on Nox.

"Just to remind you, the first group will get an 'S rank' artefact, and 4 'A Rank' artefacts, The second group gets 2 'A Rank' artefacts, and the last group gets nothing! But the most important thing is for you to return alive!!" said Godfrey

"Team "Apocalyptia" let's win!" said Nox.

The name is composed of " Apocalypse" and " Eutopia", it suggests the destruction of the world order and the emergence of a new one, it's the name Nox chose for the team.

"You came up with a good name Nox, kinda badass!" said Aurora.

"Cause we are the bad guys!" said Nox.

"Let's do this!!" shouted the rest of the team.

Amara cast a spell, and a teleportation gate was activated, The teams got teleported to the hunting ground at random locations.

"We didn't have much time since the team was formed only yesterday, then I'll make this clear!

First, this team will not be in the way of your goals, and we're obliged to help each other to achieve them.

Second, we must share all the secrets we have when needed, and no one is to let our secrets out.

And last, we're gonna have life-and-death situations, that will make us a family, and anyone who betrays the family, must be killed, Am I being clear?!" said Nox with eyes full of determination.

"Yes, boss haha!! I can't get used to you being the team leader," said Aurora and laughed.

"Well said Nox, but better luck next time haha," said Raunos.

"You rascals haha," said Nox.

Team Apocalyptia had been walking for two hours, but not even a sign of a monster was spotted.

"Don't you guys think it's weird? It's been two hours and we haven't encountered a single magical beast?" asked Valerius.

"I'm a natural hunter, I can sense a beast from a hundred miles away, but I don't sense any!" said Aetos.

"Don't rush things, we'll meet them soon," said Nox.

"Get ready, I can sense a hoard of beasts 2 miles away at 10 o'clock!" said Aetos.

"Alright!! Let the hunt begin!!" said Ranuos.
