62. The White Fang Attack and Exploration.

the white fang headquarters was quiet, you could say, obviously agents were looking for Holland's child, but everything was quiet.

until an explosion was heard again in the newly built gym, they had rebuilt the gym, this time improved, but it cost them a lot of the town's taxes.

But it wasn't their problem.

the explosion caused all the members present to enter into confusion and at the same time desperation.

the most affected was the origin of a scream that came from the main office.

- And now that m!#%a happens again!

As he ran quickly to see the damage, hoping it wasn't too bad, Ren took advantage of the guild leader's assistant, and did what he did last time and entered the office.

Ren went into the office, this time he went to the basement of the headquarters, entering through a carpet that had a secret passage, inside was the main computer.

Ren pulled out the USB and plugged it in, the screen went black, then green numbers appeared that Ren didn't understand.

The other clones of the janitors ran at the same time as the blackout to the important parts of the branch.

One went to the guild vault, it was a big vault, spacious enough to put a few million in there.

Ren would make sure that this fancy vault would be used by him from now on to store his money, he got fed up with banks, and their bank account freezes.

Another got into where they kept the weapons and checked a large number of weapons, usual, but not simple or cheap.

all the clones had different faces, the only thing they had in common was a simple ring on their thumb that you could find anywhere.

Once everyone was in position, they waited for the king's ring to give the order.

Ren smiled and gave the order to complete the mission.

After they received the new orders, they all put the guild stuff in their minion rings, then took out an explosive from their rings.

They placed them in random areas, which does not affect the main computer, but will give members problems.

as in the entrances of some places that would make movement difficult, in addition, to obviously the places that were robbed.

Once they left the explosives in their places, the clones knelt down, then disappeared.

Ren opened his eyes and took the button out of his ring.

but first, he took out his phone and a professional camera.

He started recording the camera, and with his phone, he put himself in a position for a selfie.

*booommmm.

Ren snapped a couple of good photos, then stopped recording on his phone and went home.

at home the girls were ready, in these 3 days they had to clean the missing dungeons, Kiyoshi was in charge of erasing their traces in technology, erasing camera recordings, and hacking phones to avoid communication.

the 3 left.

Kelly also received fleece armor, along with gloves for her to fight in the dungeon.

They entered the dungeon, and Ren had to admit something.

Though Ren only hurt the monsters enough that they didn't give Kelly about to enter D-Rank any trouble.

Ren had to admit that Kelly likes to talk while killing monsters and showing off.

- kill another, with this I go 6.

Akane didn't reply, just walked over to the next white-furred monkey and plunged the dagger into its heart, as the monkey held Akane's hands screeching in pain.

Ren watched as Akane threw the monkey dagger and all, then pulled the chain with all his might.

he grabbed the bloody dagger, and he saw that the blade had 2 small spikes, also you could see the monkey's heart.

Ren wondered why this sweet and shy girl seemed like she was getting more cranky than him when he left her, but he put it off and went on his way.

in the next 3 days, they cleaned up and removed the 10 missing dungeons.

Kelly had entered rank D.

Of course, there were guards sometimes, but some B-rank sleeping pills that Naomi got for Ren solved the problem.

she couldn't do a massacre in front of 2 girls after all.

Meanwhile, in the capital, the clone left by Ren was sitting at a table with the other barons, sitting and eating while he was pretending to listen to the smug nonsense of other nobles trying to belittle him directly.

Although Ren did not care about the nonsense of those nobles.

he was too focused on pretending to concentrate on them and secretly keeping an eye on Duke Holland, who was touching the back of his chair while listening to a report from his butler.

sometime later he approached the white-fang leader duke.

he was a bald man, with scars and a fierce look, he seemed a wild look in the opinion of anyone who sees him, he approached the duke and said something to him.

after a while, the leader would return to his chair with the other guild leaders.

Ren's clone was watching in case he went back to his territory, he had to be alert in case problems came to his king.

.

.

.

Ren had finished clearing the last dungeon on the night of the third day.

The staff of the guild had no communications available, no way to communicate since every so often there was interference in their radios, in addition to false data when they tried to use the computers.

It's not that they're idiots.

Or maybe they were, but it was justified.

they were awakened people who were rejected by All and brought to the guild, others didn't even have money for tuition.

all the members of Rank C and above were in the capital, here they only brought in the garbage.

Ren and his disciples came out of the last dungeon.

When leaving, 2 notifications came to Ren.

[ congratulations, you have accumulated resistance to cold ]

[cold resistance has reached 40%]

[Ice-type attacks have less chance to damage you, your body can now withstand freezing weather with almost no problem]

[You acquired a dungeon seed]

Ren checked his pocket and it looked like a white stone, a description came to him at the sight of it.

[frozen dungeon seed]

- after removing all those artificial and fake dungeons, ??? ?? ????? will make this place known as a real dungeon.

- to activate it, you need to place it in an area and apply some mana to it.

- in the next 10 minutes, the preparation will start and it will be activated.

Ren saw the description and sent a clone and a mana stone to activate it.

He went with Akane without Kelly this time for his plan.

They were going to infiltrate one of the guild's gathering party members.

When the clone went to the noble zone, he used the mana stone to pass mana to the seed.

The white seed on the ground evaporated.

And instead, a point began to absorb mana from the surroundings.

Alarms sounded and they began to evacuate people from the surroundings.

The clone saw how 2 pillars of ice began to grow from the ground.

They grew and grew until they formed a giant gate.

From either side of the territory, the giant ice gate could be seen.

The clone before disappearing saw how the monstrous mana surrounded the place, he could only think

' I hope things turn out well for my king.

.

.

.

In the throne room, Duke Holland received the news of the dungeon through his subordinates.

And he hastened to see the king.

- my king, an emergency appeared in my territory, I need to return.

- Okay, but hurry up.

-It will be made my king, I will arrange a team, and then it will be possible-.

-No.

- Excuse me, princess?

- You will go yourself with your son to clean the dungeon, there cannot be a nobleman who does not attend this historical event.

-...

- As an ordered princess, I will go there.

Duke Holland bowed and sent for the leader of the white guild.

- You will come with me to the dungeon.

- I have to fight.

the leader said as he made a wild smile, looking out of place with the gala suit he was wearing.

- Yes, also bring the best you can from your people, we have to find that intruder and get rid of him once and for all.

-make sure you take our new recruit too, his family will be glad we take his shame to get some prestige by joining us.

The duke and the white-fang leader immediately set off to the duke's territory.

Upon arrival, they quickly organized a team to break in.

Unlike normal searches, a high-rank gate, in common cases, several groups are prepared.

but right now, it was an emergency, the air full of mana will harm the wealthy people in the place, and trouble will come for them.

that's why the duke and the white fang guild leader, brought many members for the cleanup.

Healers, scouts, blacksmiths, and obviously cutting-edge equipment.

The team was prepared in a single day, but even so, they brought the best of the best from the white guild and the duke's people.

The next day, the one who went to the front was Duke Holland, this time with his silver armor and a sword.

His son Harold, was with a spear in hand.

His son is of an A rank but he was invited by his father.

The white guild leader named Zaff Malum was coming with a giant ax on his shoulder as he was ordering the men from him.

the operation could be said to be simple, once you see everyone inside, they will go little by little to the boss room.

Materials from A-Rank and S-Rank monsters are quite useful.

and next to Harold could be seen Bernard Squirre.

-everyone to your posts, we'll leave in 5 minutes.

At the Zaff's call, they all hurried into formation.

behind it all, the material collection team was getting ready.

his boss, an old man was tidying up and making sure everyone brought their things.

ren who was one of them, he was arranging his things with a stoic face.

- Sensei.

" Yes.

- Can we do it?

"Of course, I already explained the plan, and as we said it is quite simple.

Akane wasn't so sure, the plan at first glance sounded absurd.

originally it was to eliminate the fake dungeons, but ren, when this dungeon was created now, was to take advantage of the second day, to get the boss out of the dungeon and escape and close it, or take advantage of the vanguard fighting and entering his room to finally get out of the dungeon

It was a plan that originated unexpectedly, Akane entrusted her life to Ren.

besides that ren already had escape routes in case he was discovered, too bad she still doesn't know the ways an S rank can use mana.

The price of ignorance I guess.

---

hey author.

(that?)

Why do you spoil your own novel?

(because I wanted the lesson that ren will learn to come forward)

You're cruel.

(it's all part of the growth of my creation).

I guess I can't blame you for that part.

---

it all depended on the boss they got, at first it seemed absurd to Akane and she still believes it, but ren just told her to trust him.

She looked around the place and couldn't help but think.

' all these people are about to die in a few days.

sigh, she had already shown him something of what they did in the guild to this place, obviously, it made her angry.

but she couldn't believe that she was going to witness a future massacre.

though ren told him to just take it as following him.

but she at the same time didn't want to believe that Ren will do all this slaughter.

With those mixed feelings, Akane walked with the entire group.

.

.

.

When the entire group was inside, the duke first used his mana to sense the surroundings.

Since Ren and Akane used mana suppressors, the duke couldn't feel them.

the air felt chilly, the other members had quite warm clothes, but it was still incredibly cold.

the mages started using mana to make the surroundings warm.

the scouts were going to leave immediately, waiting for the duke's orders that this place was clean.

since they only saw snow around.

trees could be seen in the distance, they were gigantic.

the sky unlike the D rank dungeon was a sky more like the outside, a sky with stars and everything.

- Everyone, prepare for battle.

after the duke said that, howling wolves could be heard.

these wolves were extremely gigantic.

Ren who was at the end could see them.

They are at least 5 meters tall.

the hunters started the fight.

first, the archers fired mana arrows at the wolves, many managing to dodge them.

then earth-using mages came along and began using spells to throw the wolves off balance so the arrows would hit them.

the squires positioned themselves in front of everyone.

when the wolves were already close, the vanguard went for them.

It took 20 minutes to eliminate them all, after making sure that there was nothing, the collectors began to clean the bodies.

while others made special tents for the fighters to warm their bodies.

then they surrounded the tents with enough barriers so that they would not be seen.

They sent the explorers to map the place.

many of them were experienced.

After 6 hours, they came back.

they had sent 30 of them, but only half came back.

since they shared mapping information via devices, their deaths were not in vain.

Emerging from the tents, they lined up again and began to move forward.

Unfortunately for the duke, there was only one-floor manager.

That means it will definitely be an S or S+ rank, if there were more than one floor, it was more likely that the boss would be an A or S- rank.

now it was certain that he would be a minimum S rank, but there were plans to weaken him.

They began to advance again.

Along the way, they found bears, more wolves, and even mammoths.

The duke loved this, it's not that they are weak, what it was is that their skins would be worth entire fortunes without counting the other materials and mana stones.

Harold was also smiling greedily as he enjoyed a nice dinner outside the tent after the fight.

Ren watched from a distance as he processed the mammoth skin and separated it from the meat.

the meat was also stored.

although as it was a more elaborate process, they left it for another group.

Once everything is stored, reports of damage and injuries will be made and members will be counted in case members are lost.

after all those procedures, you will be able to eat.

In the case of the workers, they will go directly to a tent where all of them would be, in the case of the fighters, buffet food is prepared for them while they celebrate in their armor in another of the tents.

Ren reached for something in his pocket.

it was a rare stone.

It was the well-known escape stone.

Naomi had gotten 2 for this dungeon in case something goes wrong in the artificial dungeons and we have to abort the quest and get out.

Akane has one on her ring too.

Ren then put it in her ring and went to eat.

they gave him a soup that tasted horrible.

Akane facing Ren, she almost couldn't help but wince at the smell of the others who came after cleaning bodies.

she hadn't cut meat from carcasses like ren.

she had been in charge of transporting the smaller things with other people, and even so, she grimaced as the smell reached her.

she really wondered how ren who was on top of the giant bear could cut the meat without making a face.

After eating, the members would take off the uniform they wore to cut the meat and go take a bath.

finally, they were given an hour of entertainment and went to sleep.

the next day, they followed the road again.

the bad thing is that they lost members since they found elves.

Ren marveled at that, they were ice elves.

unlike the other elves she knows, they did not speak.

they only shot arrows.

some elven members of the guild, had bitter expressions as they shot those elves.

at noon, a compulsory rest had to be made.

Many were injured in the surprise attacks.

some elves used the trees to make a hole and camouflage it with an illusion of water magic and shoot from there.

after counting the dead and wounded, they would take a break.

Ren and Akane were eating, they were hooded just like everyone else.

no one could recognize them, apart from skin masks and contact lenses.

It hurts Akane who was carrying her tray.

she was spanked, causing her to jump and scream.

a voice was heard behind the 2.

- wait a minute, that voice sounds familiar to me.

Turning around, Ren realized it was Bernard Squirre.

'Damn, what's that bastard doing here?

Ren handed her tray to Akane and threw a punch at Bernard.

before pushing Akane with the crowd she told him.

"Hide yourself, no one must recognize you.

Ren turned around and with his head lowered, he got into a boxing stance.

- What the hell is wrong with you bastard!

Bernard yelled as he ran to Ren.

Ren dodged the incoming blow and landed a right hand.

The surroundings were already starting to make noise as they gathered around the 2 men.

Ren planned to pretend to be a boxer and knock out Bernard and escape, so he could finally get out of this.

as Bernard is usually very excitable about things.

what I don't expect is that this slightly more trained Bernard sighs and calms down.

and he gets into a boxing stance.

Ren was surprised, he hasn't seen it for a few months but it looks like they fixed it up a bit.

Ren began exchanges with Bernard, allowing himself to be hit at times so that he would not suspect that he was too strong.

Little by little, the sides were getting hotter and hotter.

When Ren saw the perfect hole to put a left foot in and put him to sleep, he moved forward to do so.

just at that moment, it was almost time for him to connect his blow.

he was frozen in midair.

more accurate would be that he couldn't move at all.

his fists were under great air pressure.

he heard a voice.

- I stopped it, father.

'dammit.

Ren saw Harold and the duke entering the tent.

- Why do you attack the member of my guild?

the duke said calmly as he looked at this guy who almost beat Bernard in a fight.

ren that I regain mobility, but he didn't say anything.

he just bowed and apologized.

"I apologize for my mistake.

Bernard got up from the ground and spat out some blood with a tooth.

- a bloody bastard.

Ren received a kick to the plexus from him that made him fall to the ground.

when the 3 were about to leave the tent.

Bernard turned to see the bastard who almost defeated him, he wouldn't let him go unpunished.

He saw Ren's eyes under the hood go cold for a small moment.

It was a few tenths of a second.

but for Bernard who remembered his traumas, he remembered that cold look and quickly spoke to the duke.

- mister.

-Yes.

- That worker is Ren Artega.

- hmm

Hearing that name, Duke Holland turned around.

He applied mana around Ren's body and drew him to it.

when he pulled off her hood, he saw the face of a man in his 25's with brown eyes.

Holland looked at Bernard.

Bernard nervously spoke before the duke could reply.

-I'm sure sir, I recognize the look him wherever I go.

the duke with a nod of the head, indicated to his son to remove the disguise.

He did so, removing the skin mask along with the contact lenses.

Seeing Ren's face and his cold gaze, Bernard couldn't stand it.

Bernard punched him in the stomach.

Ren didn't even wince.

Duke Holland was smiling quite a bit.

-Go go, so you're the rat that caused all this chaos, I guess I'll leave you with my boys to take care of you for a while.

Saying that the shadow soldiers tied up Ren and took him to the storage room in the kitchen.

.

.

.

2 hours passed, and in the kitchen room, heartbreaking screams could be heard.

Akane lowered the hood, he was with other workers.

squeezing his hands, so much was the force applied that they began to bleed from his nails embedded in his flesh.

but he didn't care, he knew that ren was suffering much more.

he looked at Bernard at another table having a glass of wine next to the congratulating duke.

Akane ducked her head so she wouldn't get him to look at her, but her eyes were bloodshot.

she boiled his blood.

because of his scream for the spanking, they discovered ren and now they were torturing him.

No.

It wasn't because of his scream.

it was for him

Bernard Squirre.

Seeing him in profile, he saw that he still had a scar from the pencil he had thrown that day.

he remembered him that day.

he threw the pencil not to save ren.

he did it to save Bernard.

That day she saw Ren reaching into her pocket and pulling something out just as Bernard was about to cut him off in his mad state.

she knew it was a knife.

She saw Ren's foot position and she realized that Ren would dodge and plunge the knife into her.

she was imagining Bernard's blood dripping onto the floor, his body dying, but unable to do more.

she imagined his pain.

She thought that feeling was a good thing.

Let his enemies bleed.

had happened in the past.

she had had that desire for those who hurt her to bleed.

but he deleted them immediately, after all, he shouldn't.

But Ren's cries of pain triggered that feeling.

now he imagined the time when Bernard had died.

and the more she imagined his death, the more she regretted saving him.

Every scream Ren let out was more pain for his conscience.

she blamed her weakness, she can't go and cut bernard's neck now, she would be found out and ren's sacrifice would be in vain.

What cut her train of thought off was the kitchen door opening.

A totally hooded man came out.

Blood still dripped from his gloves and his clothes were stained with it.

Akane bit her lips hard, they also started to bleed.

she gave a report to the duke, and the duke started to smile.

he announced a party, which got everyone excited.

everyone started drinking and having fun.

some threw their empty glasses at the closed kitchen door where they knew ren was.

Akane watched as all of these people celebrated that Ren had spoken.

she had seen on the hands of some of them, rings on their ring fingers.

Others took photos of their children while they shared a beer with their friends and hugged each other moving to the rhythm of the music.

Akane, the innocent girl who had never hurt a human and had been ignorant her entire life.

she saw what ren wanted to avoid at first.

how disgusting humans can be.

how could they celebrate the suffering of others, and enjoy it only because they benefited them?

Well, she began to accept what she didn't want to accept in the past when she was bullied.

as there were girls who released the frustrations that their family does not have a great noble rank in her.

how they mocked her while laughing when they drowned her in a toilet.

like Bernard, I always despise her for not having talent, or not being "beautiful" like her older sister.

she had thought that those frustrations were only temporary and would one day leave her alone.

Akane seriously pondered what she will do with her life, she was really thinking about it now.

she didn't even touch her drink.

While she was quietly meditating, she didn't notice 2 things.

how her eyes became extremely cold under the hood.

the second thing she didn't notice was a silver-haired boy looking at her.

but he didn't say anything, if they caught another big shot, maybe I'll reward him.
