Supreme Guardian of Earth
51. Portal penalty
There is a vibration that appears from the portal, it is a sign that something will come out of the portal. Sophie and the surrounding Hunters retreated. They are alert and on guard. They hoped that Rhoma and his raid team would come out and return safely.
However, if the one that comes out of the portal is a monster. And so, they all had to prepare to fight.
Splash!
There was a crack in the portal and human shadows started to come out. All are alert and see clearly. Hunter Marvelo came out and was also followed by other Hunters, Bella, Nico, Hans, and the main raid team. They all came out looking very tired. They had gone through terrible experiences while inside the portal.
They were greeted by several Hunters who had come, they were ready to help if the Hunters were injured or had problems. Rhoma was the last among the main raid Hunters, followed by Miner Hunters, and finally the last transport Hunter out.
Sophie looked at the list of Hunters who had entered, and it turned out that one was missing from the main raid team. All Hunters had to be checked before they left and they all had their health checked. Sophie asked the raid team leader for an official report states.
It was because they had used the Portal Alarm button and caused panic in the Guild. So, they had to provide an official report on what was really going on inside the portal.
The Hunters who are part of the Guild, have been paid heavily by the Guild for completing dimensional portal missions that have been registered for ownership by the Guild.
The Guild is fully responsible for all matters relating to the portal that has been included in the Guild list. They get finances from completion as well as from items obtained from Portals. Crystals obtained will be in the portal and will be fully managed by the Guild. In addition, the completion of the portal will be paid for by the government.
So, the Guild is fully responsible for the portal. If only one portal that they have taken rights to is problematic, then the reputation of the Guild will also decline. It affects the trust to take the right of the dimensional portal.
All Guilds are competing to be able to complete the portal well, the competition between Guilds is really heavy. They were required to complete the portal well and also recruit strong Hunters on their side.
Hunter Rhoma was asked to give a report first, and he was confronted by Hunter Sophie. Rhoma knew that Sophie was the vice chairman. He directly came to confirm what really happened inside the portal so the Portal Alarm went off.
Sophie looked at all the Hunters that came out, her eyes were familiar with one of the Hunters carrying a large bag. Sophie tried to remember something about the man, sure enough. Sophie still remembered the face of the young man carrying a large bag and going out with the raid team led by Hunter Rhoma.
A few days ago, Sophie had forgotten about him too. She remembered that the man tried to approach her by asking her if she was the daughter of Agra. Until now, Sophie was actually still thinking about whether the man was really being ruled by her father. Or, he's just looking for a face to make it easier for him to get a Hunter license easily.
Ah! Of course. The proof is the man ended up being a Transport Hunter. He was convinced that he was weak and passed the test in the tower by getting a low floor. He then looked for a way to get close to himself who was a national-level Hunter with an S-rank Hunter. He must have been looking for data about himself and also his father's name.
Therefore, the young man then tried to approach him and hoped that he would help him.
That is not important! That's right, why think about that young man, he's also just a Carrier Hunter. So thought Sophie. He also continued his conversation with Hunter Rhoma. They entered one of the spaces around the portal.
“So…, what happened inside the portal?” question to the point. Hunter Sophie must have spared some of her time because of the Portal Alarm. That is something critical. Rhoma should be able to explain what happened inside and how the portal could be solved.
Hunter Rhoma was an A Rank Hunter, he was also respected in the Guild. However, even so, he was part of the Guild and Sophie had the right to confirm what happened. Sophie was the current representative of the Guild leader.
Hunter Rhoma was quite confused to explain what happened, on the one hand, he had promised not to say anything about Dinan. He must be able to keep his promise, he is also a person who does not want to betray his promise.
"Tell me everything, Hunter Rhoma," Sophie asked again and asked for a report from Rhoma with a clear report. She certainly didn't think much about the transport Hunter that was Dinan. She was now confirming what happened inside the portal so the measurement changed, then the portal alarm sounded, also about the portal suddenly being finished.
This information is important for the investigation team of the Guild to study for notes about the portal in the future. Sophie's job this time was about that, so she shouldn't be distracted by anything. Although, in her heart, she was still a little curious about the young transporter. Did she really carry an important message from her father or not?
“So, Vice Guild Leader. Something happened inside the portal. It all happened and I don't really know what happened."
Sophie Noemie was getting more and more curious to hear the report from Hunter Rhoma. At that time, the Hunters were in the cave out of fear. Meanwhile, nine Nomad Orcs appeared and they numbered nine. Hearing the story, Sophie was surprised because the Orc Nomad monster was quite strong.
Not only that, there was a boss monster among them that appeared. He was a White Orc who led nine Nomad Orcs and also led hundreds of Spartan Orcs.
Hunter Sophie continued to listen to reports from Hunter Rhoma. At first, the Hunters led by Rhoma managed to defeat the attack from the Spartan Orcs. However, the Nomad Orcs appeared and the Hunters had to save themselves. Hunter Geno even became a victim by sacrificing himself so that the other Hunters could survive and enter the cave.
“Then…, how did you all defeat the nine Nomad Orcs and the White Orcs?” Hunter Sophie continued to pursue information from Rhoma.
“Portal penalty occurred, Deputy Leader,” was the explanation Rhoma could explain. This time, Hunter Sophie was completely flustered and her brow furrowed. Portal penalty?
Reports and notes that Hunter Sophie had studied, the portal penalty meant a reset to a dimensional rank rating. It was like a reset in the test tower when one awakened one's power. They will reset if they are killed in the tower.
Reset in dimension portal is also known as a penalty. Rhoma's explanation explained that the portal that originally rose in dimensional rank then dropped back down. That is, the monsters within the power portal are also coming back down.
However, it is still debated whether it can actually happen. However, several Hunters had already reported a decrease or increase in dimensional rank. It could happen.
Rhoma then describes him and the Carrier Hunter as volunteering. They searched for the bag containing the food that was left behind. They found the bag but all the food was gone. And so, they decided to activate Portal Alarm.
Rhoma explained that in the additional hunter, there is a hunter who works as a Transport Hunter. He had a strong sense of being able to check the situation properly and get the coordinates of the Orcs exactly. With the help of the Carrier Hunter, Hunter Rhoma was able to reach the Alarm Portal without being caught by the Orc monsters.
When a portal penalty occurs. All of the Orc monsters suddenly died and disappeared. They all disappeared without a trace and the dimensional portal opened because the dimensional portal had been completed.
That was Hunter Rhoma's final explanation.
Strange! Hunter Sophie was still thinking about that very carefully. Dead monsters inside the portal? Do they die by themselves? Hunter Sophie also summoned the Hunter he was carrying. They were asked to check the portal as the Hunters exited the portal. Before closing, the Hunters Sophie had asked to investigate finally came out.
They now explained that there were no orc monsters left. They only found a few Spartan Orcs and ordinary Orcs. They were all in the hundreds and were dead and settled.
It was the same as the explanation and report from Rhoma. They had faced off against the Spartan Orcs before.
Everything is still strange according to Sophie's hunter mind. She had to bring this information to the Guild's center to be confirmed. Penalties and monsters disappearing, it really doesn't make any sense. The famous White Orcs were so powerful that they even disappeared. It was a report from Rhoma. Changed measurement questions and return to the original measurement.
However, Sophie couldn't doubt the explanation from Hunter Rhoma. He is one of the Hunters who is very loyal to the Guild. The Guild's report on Hunter Rhoma was excellent.
If Sophie checked, even though Rhoma and his team were fighting together against the White Orcs. Then, they would all die because of their Hunter rank abilities. Those raid teams that Rhoma led, wouldn't be able to fight the White Orcs, moreover, there were still nine Nomad Orcs on the White Orcs' side.
Although this kind of thing was hard to accept in the Hunter report when clearing the portal. However, if Hunter Rhoma reported it himself. It was hard for the Guild not to believe it.
Hunter Rhoma was deemed sufficient to complete his report, several other Hunters who were Hunters in the raid team led by Hunter Rhoma also explained the exact same thing. Hunter Metry Report, Nico, Hans, Marvelo. They all hint at the same story.
"Hunter Rhoma," Sophie called Hunter Rhoma when Hunter Rhoma was about to leave the room and finish his report.
Hunter Rhoma was forced to turn around again, "Is there anything else you want to ask, Deputy Leader?" asked Rhoma curiously. He himself wondered whether there was an explanation that cast doubt on Sophie's hunter.
Rhoma had tried to make his report really real. He still wanted to hide the power of hunter Dinan. that was his promise, especially since Dinan had saved himself and his entire team. This is a worthy reward for keeping his promise to hunter Dinan.
“You said that you were with a Carrier hunter who had high sense. Is that true?" asked hunter Sophie.
"Ri ..., Right, deputy leader," Rhoma began to doubt, did he get caught?
"What's Hunter's name?" asked hunter Sophie.
"His name is Dinan, hunter Dinan."
"Hunters ..., Dinan!"
