Hunter Geno sacrificed himself, Rhoma was shocked and bounced near the cave. The Hunters knew that the ORCs were heading toward them. Rhoma still doesn't believe it and wants to save Geno. However, he was pulled by the others and Metry created a barrier with the rest of his strength. The cave is hidden and becomes obscured by environmental conditions.
The Hunters were in the cave, they were all helpless and restless. One of their comrades had already been killed by a powerful arrow strike. How could they enter such a terrifying portal like this?
Nen was worried and even shedding tears, Dinan comforted Nen.
“I just want to be able to go home to my family, not caring about being a Hunter. I just had to become a Hunter and earn money for them!” said Nen while shedding tears. He just wanted to go home.
"We will go home safely, there are still strong Hunters protecting us, Nen."
"Don't you see, even the leader of Rhoma is now helpless?"
Sure enough, Dinan saw that Rhoma was now leaning on the cave wall. Seeing one of them sacrifice himself, made him a little shocked. That is understandable because Rhoma is the leader of this team, he is responsible for all the teams that are in his team.
Everyone looked sad in front of the cave the orcs couldn't find them. They lost track, Metry used his powers and sensed that the orcs had left and couldn't find them. They could survive for a while, but they had to be wary if the Orcs would search and search for them constantly.
"What should we do now?" Nico asked, he fidgeted and hit the cave wall.
"Nothing," Marvelo leaned against the cave wall, "We'll be here waiting for help to arrive!"
The remaining team of raid main team were only six people; Rhoma, Marvelo, Metry, Nico, Hans, and Bella. They were all tired and helpless, they were all silent and no one made a sound. They were busy with their own thoughts and remembering their dead comrades.
Rhoma realized that there was no point in being sad anymore. He remembers the last message from Geno, he has to take care of all his team. They all had to survive this portal. That's right!
"Everyone, don't lose hope. We'll endure and see tomorrow, hopefully, the Hunters in the Guild will soon notice that the dimensional rank measurement has gone up. If they find out, then they will come right away.”

Rhoma got up, he couldn't look weak. If he looked weak, then all the Hunters would do the same. Rhoma went deeper into the cave, he found some wood and also others to use. The day started in the afternoon, it could be felt by the Hunters. They will stay in the cave. A fire was made, and they felt a little warmer.
Rhoma is still thinking about how the three Mining Hunters are doing, they are indeed at the beginning of entering this portal. Rhoma only hoped that the three of them would be okay and could find a place to rest and avoid the Orc Champions or Nomads with their boss, the White Orc.
That night, they opened the carrying bag that Nen had brought. Unfortunately, everyone was shocked because the bag Nen was carrying was gone. Nen just remembered that she ran away in fear and left a bag full of food. All the Hunters had scolded Nen, but Rhoma stopped him.
Now, they are all in quite a difficult condition. Fortunately, Dinan told him that in the bag he was carrying, there was even a little food. Dinan already understood that he did bring some food from Nen's bag into his bag.
It also saves Nen from being blamed constantly. Nen also thanked Dinan.
They were helped, for tonight, they could still get some food.
“Brother Dinan, how did you manage to have food in your bag? Previously, your bag only contained equipment, and mine contained food,” Nen was still curious as she sat leaning against the cave next to Dinan.

Dinan smiled, "Earlier, I saw that you carried a bag too heavy, so I put some food in my bag," replied Dinan. That made Nen understand. But actually, Dinan had already picked it up after Nen left her bag and brought some food in her bag.
That night, they slept and in the morning, Metry tried to get out of the cave. It was morning, but no one dared to go out. Metry sensed that there were still one or two Nomad Orcs or Orc Champions visible from a distance. Metry came back and told all the Hunters about it.
"Looks like we really have to hold out until tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day for this portal to survive. If until tomorrow the Hunters don't come from the Guild, then Portal Crash will happen,” Marvelo tried to understand again to the others.
True, if the portal is not completed. Tomorrow, the monsters will come out of the portal and wreak havoc on the earth. They will do mischief and destruction in the real world. An open portal will force anyone remaining in the portal to exit, including monsters and Hunters.
That is the only way they all survive, get out of the portal and fight the monsters outside the portal. It would make a lot of Hunters from the Association and defense forces help, including Hunters from the Guild. Perhaps, that was the path left for them.
"Is there no other way?" Hans who is a Hunter Assassin now spoke, "Can't we kill the monsters one by one? We can definitely trap one by one right?”
"Stupid! Did you think those Nomad Orcs would just shut up! They are strong and have a great sense. If one dies, then they will look for us and destroy the whole place!”
Now, they are all involved in internal problems. What they have to do, will all determine their safety.
"Our food stock is running out, we can be helpless if there is a problem," Bella's voice broke the silence.
All this time, Rhoma listened to them. He was still thinking about what alternatives to do. He couldn't stand the sight of one of his team's death any longer like the last time he'd seen Geno. All steps must be done carefully, now Rhoma feels completely helpless.
However, Orc Nomads were a very strong opponent. Normally, it was a monster boss, and defeating it had to use up all the strength of the Hunter. And now, it was the army of the White Orcs. That is to say, White Orcs possess extremely terrifying strength.
"Captain, Captain!" Metry's voice awakened Rhoma who was thinking hard.
"What should we do now, Captain?" all eyes looked at Rhoma, they all believed in Rhoma. Team Leader, stay Team Leader. He must have had more mature considerations than the others.
All now entrust the decision for them all to the captain. So, Rhoma realized that and he felt that the burden of being a leader was very heavy at a time like this. What to do?
"We will survive here. I'm going out to find the backpack that Hunter Nen brought. So, we'll either hold out until the portal crashes or wait for the Hunters from the Guild to save us. You guys stay calm here.”
That decision was the best decision that Rhoma thought of. All Hunters understand, that the burden of a leader is heavy. He even tried to calm the others down and would go out to pick up the food in the backpack that was left behind.
"Will any of us come along?" asked Metry, she felt that Rhoma wanted to sacrifice for others.

"No need, I can take care of myself. I have the ultimate power here. If there's anything, I'll just have to use my strength to run."
All silent. Rhoma also got ready and prepared everything, the remaining equipment in Dinan's bag and weapons. He came out, everyone was silent. Even though they were always respected Hunters out there, they were respected by ordinary mortals. But this time, their lives were at stake. They really felt very weak and lousy.
Hunter Rhoma also reached the lip of the cave and prepared to leave, the barrier that Metry made began to fade. However, the Hunters covered it with large stones so that the cave hole was not too visible.
Rhoma looked ahead, looking safe. He had to be quick and sneak.
Clap!
Rhoma was surprised by the touch of a hand on his right shoulder. It was Dinan who was already behind him.

"What's the matter, Hunter Dinan. You better go inside," said Rhoma. He himself was quite surprised because he did not feel the presence of the transport man. However, maybe it was because he was too anxious and worried.
"I will follow you, Hunter Rhoma."
"Why did you do it, Hunter Dinan?"
“I know where exactly the duffel bag was left, and I also know where the monsters are moving?”
Rhoma's eyes seemed to be in disbelief when he heard Dinan's words. The Hunters in the cave didn't hear them. So, Rhoma's suspicions were well founded from the start when Dinan doubted that this dimensional portal's rank level was above B rank. And that was proven.
As the original Rhoma thought. Hunters who have undergone the test in the tower, have different strengths, including the power of certain skills even though they are low-rank Hunters.
Perhaps, their Senses are so strong that they can detect danger. So, in this case. Dinan is one of the Hunters who has a high sense of ability.
"Okay, if that's your will, we'll head in the direction the bag fell," said Hunter Rhoma. He also needed a guide so that Rhoma wouldn't go astray and would even meet the Nomad Orc monsters.
They came out and Hunter Rhoma followed Dinan, Dinan who led the way because Rhoma had given up the responsibility to guide him.
Rhoma and Dinan continued to settle. They passed the time with small talk and walked towards the place where the bag was left behind. They walked, safe and there was no Orc Champion in sight anywhere. Among the trees, Rhoma realized the power of Dinan's sense was very strong.
[One Nature activated, measuring the position of all living things. Data obtained]
Dinan knew the position of the scattered Orc Monsters. He took another route so he didn't meet any of the orcs.
"Why did you become a Hunter, Dinan?" asked Rhoma as he continued walking. It takes away boredom and silence.
“I want to protect my sister, Hunter Rhoma. I was forced to climb the tower and become a Hunter to protect my sister. My parents died from being killed by a monster when the portal crashed.”
Rhoma can understand what Dinan is feeling. He was young, but he still had high spirits. Himself already in his forties, and he became a Hunter initially also for popularity and to seek family finances.
However, it's getting longer. Rhoma understands that the Hunter must exist to protect human life. He must fight monsters and protect humans from these threats. Seeing so many people who have become victims because of the Portal Crash, then as much as possible Rhoma must complete the portal that he can complete.
That was the true aim of a Hunter.
Dinan's journey as a Hunter is certainly still long, young people who will make changes in the future and end the war that spawns monsters all over the world. Rhoma felt he was old.
He also wrote something on a piece of paper in his pocket. He wrote the short sentence that came to mind. He wrote a farewell letter to his family. This time, it might be him who will catch up with Geno and save the rest of his comrades.
"Hunter Dinan, I ask you for help," Hunter Rhoma stopped and Dinan stopped too.
“What does Hunter Rhoma mean. We're getting closer to the backpack Nen dropped."
"That's not it, I want to ask you to convey something in case I can't get out of this portal safely later. Please, give this paper to my family and convey my regards to them,” Rhoma handed a paper to Dinan. Well folded paper.
"Uncle Rhoma," Dinan called Uncle because he was older, just like Agra's uncle who had saved his life. Uncle Agra even left a letter that had not been given to his daughter.
"Don't worry, we will survive this portal. We have to be sure of that.”
"Yes, I also pray that we will all be safe. But please, keep this paper and tell my family if I can't get out of this portal. This is my last request, Dinan,” Rhoma nodded and was very hopeful. Dinan could not refuse it. However, Dinan will hope that they will all survive and that will be done by Dinan.
