V5 Meeting Convenes

"The Insects of the Stone Nest!"

"Black Wind Wings!"

"Scarlet Assassins"!

"Death’s Withering!"

Ragnarok!

And so on, these were the distinctive names of the organizations that came out of Vollar's mouth.

In short, they are all incredibly intimidating, with impressive names that make them sound very powerful.

It wasn't just Ian and his group.

Even Yuliya, who had been silent after being released, widened her eyes.

She never expected that there were several other combat teams of the same caliber as the "Scythe of Judgment," and some were even stronger than them.

She thought that the "Scythe of Judgment," which she had gone through so much trouble to join, was already the first combat squad.

Ian remained silent for a moment, then looked at him with a rather complicated expression.

"It seems the reviewers in your organization are obsessed with four-character phrases..."

In comparison, his "Dawn" is much simpler.

However... according to what Vollar said, basically, small special operations teams like theirs mostly handle private missions involving Nen Abilities for the close confidants of a few high-ranking V5 members.

Therefore... even within the units actually involved in V5 military operations, his authority was not very extensive.

All I know is that...

Besides the Exorcism Team and the Exorcism Xie Group, there must be other organized special forces units.

After Vollar recounted many details, Ian asked curiously.

"So the one who gave you the mission was your superior, Bono Netani?"

Vollar nodded quickly.

Ian's gaze shifted to Yuliya, whose expression was cold. Under Ian's stare, she knew she had no right to resist or escape.

So she gritted her teeth and decided to learn from this guy, Siming. She nodded expressionlessly, but her heart was filled with complicated emotions, and she could only comfort herself.

Even Siming has defected to the enemy, so there's no point in her continuing.

Ian closed his eyes in thought, piecing together the events that had just occurred, then slowly opened his eyes and calmly said.

"It seems... that Kannari Rin must have passed the relevant information to V5, but her information was obviously delayed, which is why you accepted a mission that had lost its meaning and ended up in the Gandor Ruins..."

He added with some curiosity, "At this point, he..."

"You're saying you fought against Netero before?"

Upon hearing his words, Vollar's face showed a look of apprehension. Yuliya, standing beside him, also felt lingering fear when she thought of that battle. Vollar looked at Ian and spoke.

"That's right, because of the provocation of the Evil Mage and the Flash Ghost, we fought Netero... and almost... were wiped out by him..."

Thinking of the Evil Mage who had almost tricked him before, Ian gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Those two guys really deserve to die..."

"So, after failing to defeat Netero, you decided to come to Ejin City to cause me trouble?"

A sheepish look appeared on Vollar's aged face.

I wanted to explain, but I realized... I didn't seem to have any reasonable explanation.

At this moment, Yuliya, who was standing to the side, spoke in a hoarse voice.

"This is absolutely the stupidest decision we've ever made..."

Ian smiled and waved his hand in response.

"No fight, no friendship. At least, through this experience, you've all gained a chance to turn over a new leaf and start anew..."

"Besides, you're lucky you even saw me. If you had seen Sashado... the resurrected guy you're looking for, you probably wouldn't be alive now."

Yuliya and Vollar were unaware of what was happening outside.

At this point, they had no idea what Ian was saying.

Ian rested his chin on his hand, pondering for a moment.

"Now that you've left the Gandor Ruins, the other group that set out with you has stayed behind. Presumably, they've learned of Sashado's resurrection and reported it, which is why V5 took countermeasures. And... no wonder we encountered that unit carrying Rose Bombs in Feilieka..."

At this time, Ian was unaware that the unit that had been killed was the Ise Armed Forces Faction in Congo.

He thought it was someone sent by V5.

At the same time.

Within a modern city located in the heart of the land.

Until this moment.

Having reported the situation to her superiors early on, Kannari Rin and Wilson, the leader of the Exorcism Xie Group, were finally summoned by their superiors. However, the meeting place was not in the United States of Mit, but in Lusen, one of the most technologically advanced countries in the V5 National Organization.

The sky was azure, and towering buildings were everywhere.

Located in an area filled with towering buildings resembling a financial center, Kannari Rin and Wilson, dressed in black uniforms, sat on the first floor of the building, ignoring the passing employees and staring absently at the reflective marble floor.

Both men looked very serious; clearly, they were worried that their report wouldn't receive enough attention from their superiors.

Everything that happened in the Gandor Ruins.

Even now, looking back, it all seems so sudden...

What danger will that resurrected and escaped monster pose to this world? Just thinking about it made Kannari Rin feel as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making her feel incredibly heavy.

"Clap!" "Clap!"...

Just then, accompanied by heavy footsteps, a fat man wearing a loose white shirt walked over, carrying a bag of snacks in his hand. His hair was disheveled, and he looked out of place among the well-dressed men around him.

"You must be Kannari Rin and Wilson. Director Akaru sent me to greet you."

Kannari Rin and Wilson glanced at each other, looked at each other, and were somewhat stunned.

However, the other party clearly didn't care. He scratched his hair with his large, rough hand, then continued to grab a handful of snacks and stuff them into his mouth, saying in a deep voice.

"Just call me Berudo. The meeting hall is on the west side of the forty-third floor. Although we have received confirmation of the monster's attack, your on-site report is still crucial. Let's go, the meeting is about to begin."

Upon hearing his words, Kannari Rin's eyes narrowed, and she followed him while asking in a stern voice.

"Berudo, what do you mean by the monster attack news you just mentioned?"

"We just arrived here and know nothing about this..."

Berudo glanced at her, his eyes somewhat vacant, and said calmly.

"It's alright to tell you. The monster you're about to report about, named Sashado, attacked the Feilieka City, Congo the Federal Republic of Congo. So far, there have been no survivors in the entire city..."

Hearing his words.

Kannari Rin and Wilson both turned pale and froze, momentarily unable to believe the news they were hearing.

"Don't be surprised..."

"Judging from that guy's current capabilities, the threat level should be assessed at least as an A-level disaster. The annihilation of one city's population is merely an appetizer..."

"If we can't come up with a suitable solution to deal with the other side..."

Even if... all of humanity were to become extinct... it would simply be a natural consequence of the natural course of development!

He glanced at the two of them, shook his head, and sighed.

"So, humans are just such fragile creatures. I really don't understand what we're holding onto. We might as well just be destroyed already, honestly..."

Berudo muttered to himself before entering the elevator with the two still bewildered individuals.

Soon, the elevator ascended rapidly, heading straight for the forty-third floor.

At the same time.

Located in a huge conference hall, many elite figures from various key positions at V5 were already seated there.

After receiving a confidential invitation, they arrived here, awaiting a meeting concerning a catastrophic threat.
