Chapter 173: The Golden Dragon’s Might ----- The Hell Gate looming above the city of Stronghold made all citizens panic. Authorities have told them that the strongest hunters of the city had gone to destroy that castle, and for a moment, it seemed to be the case as it was beginning to fall apart. The citizens of various areas were told to evacuate to underground shelters while the battle happened. The magic barrier above the city managed to block the debris easily, but it was still better to prepare for the worst. This was a future where terrible things had already happened: millions of people died in the first half of the year, everything began, monsters emerged everywhere, and society was still in chaos. And where Hunters emerged and fought to finally regain the stability and peace of these large cities, they helped to rebuild and still protect them. Many protocols were already set in place for all citizens to obey whenever a city-threatening event was to happen; enormous shelters underground was already full of millions of people; and almost 95% of Stronghold’s citizens had already evacuated. Unlike the invading undead and giant golem incidents, which happened in a flash, the Hunter Association had already prepared for this. However, the debris wasn’t the only thing they had to worry about now. Giant demonic beasts emerged by the hundreds out of the Hell Gate, descending rapidly and attacking the magical barrier surrounding the city. Explosions and clashes echoed above the heads of the sheltered people; children trembled while hugging their parents; dogs barked in distress; and the oldest citizens remained calm, thinking that if the worst were to happen, they had already lived a long life. Most of them, having already lost their loved ones, thought it might be about time to join them. Nonetheless, as long as humanity exists, their unfaltering spirit will never give up, no matter the adversity or the impossible odds. The Hunter Association Chairman and Director of the Stronghold City’s branch stood over the association’s building, his muscular frame overflowing with a golden-brown aura, exuding the power of an S-Rank Hunter. “So it has escalated to this point.” He gritted his teeth, his sharp blue eyes glancing down. “Are you ready?” There were over a hundred Hunters already preparing for battle, from D Rank to B rank. There were that many in this city, although amidst five million normal citizens, it was very clear that Awakened were very rare. Most of them were afraid of what was happening. None of them wanted to die, but it was their duty to protect the city where they had been sheltered after the catastrophes of the first awakening. After hearing the chairman’s words, the Hunters nodded, roaring in unison. He nodded back, and the strongest amongst them, all B+ Rank Hunters, quickly led them into their positions. The barrier above the city is already gaining countless cracks. “It’s going to break at any point.” The Chairman was leisurely smoking a large habanero. “What? Three thousand? No… Four thousand monsters. Huh… Alright. I guess it’s time to put this old body of mine to use. One last time, my little princess, I hope you’re praying for me in heaven.” The man silently glanced at the photo of a young girl, no older than thirteen years of age, smiling at his side—a photo taken many years ago, before the Awakening. For a slight moment, sorrow filled his eyes. He felt his strength fading away, only to surge even stronger than before once he regained his resolve. For her and for the person he was unable to protect, he had to do his best, so such a thing could never be repeated ever again. “Mister Jonathan, the barrier is about to break!” A voice echoed behind him; his eyes were greeted by Leo Edward, the executive of the Hunter’s Association and the one in charge of Jack’s “Solo Guild." He was a B- Rank hunter, quite strong, but he usually didn’t fight because his abilities were of support. He was good at both healing and
