Small earthquakes still moved the town at a wake. The knights may brought a secured atmosphere towards the citizens and adventurers. The cause of the movement is still underneath the ground.

"Hehehe kek, it will be over soon. Capturing such downbrain creatures provides me victory closer as I can taste it." the undead priest said using the blood of the dragon to spawn more knights and chimeras.

"With such a host such as this, as long as this dragon is alive, I can have thousands of soldiers under my rein!, he laughs as he ordered the spawn knights and some chimeras to proceed into a giant hole outside of the castle, a new path.

(at the adventurers guild)

Ryu came to the guild to see the news about the raid. With the knights of the east representatives (5) and the vice commander, there will be a taskforce consisting of B-ranks and above that. Ryu is c-rank at most, so he can't go.

Ryu was disappointed to solve the unusual dragon at the top of the cliff. He met Selia and the others celebrating about their leader being one in the taskforce.

"Have you heard, Ryu. A taskforce with the high ranks of the town are going to raid the castle for sure this time", Selia said. Ryu replied humbly.

"And since all of our members are at least C-ranks... Butch is the only one can proceed down there for the taskforce isnt that amazing right Butch?, Selia added looking to the leader of the party.

"Ah ah Yes, ehemm, I am well prepared for this battle. To get my revenge to the one responsible!" Butch proudly said. "Ah shit, I cant believe I am gonna back to that hell..." he regrets being braggy about bring B-rank for once.

Wandering to the store, Ryu have unused rewards for having a free robe and went for some clothes:

A small chest plate to cover his ribs.

Some boots

new cotton black pants

knee cap armour

a small armor plate for both hands.

Ryu got some new set at a bargain price. He also found a white mask with no holes for the eyes. When he wear it, the holes are unseen from the outside. He bought for security whenever he uses his tentacles since he was categorized as a monster with a bounty. Ryu got to the forest e-territory forest to try some new moves. The afternoon came by and Ryu concludes that the move is effective at multiple enemies at range.

"Argh, I cant manuever every tentacle. It divides and strike at every direction at my front. I can only use it when there are no people infront of me or else they will be caught it to it." Ryu calls it a day

(from a distant space close to the eterritory)

A small hole emerges from the ground, a nose came out and confirmed it is the surface. The hole widens as the night came by.

(the day of the raid)

Citizens rejoice as the knights from the kingdom and high level town adventurers marches towards the front of the cave. Everyone had a good night rest since no earthquakes woke them up. Ryu watches by the distance as the taskforce stopped at the entrance.
