Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 186

Aiden moved as soon as he got what he wanted. In fact, he got more than what he wanted.

One of the three dungeons, the Draconic Wolf dungeon, was allocated for the exclusive use of the Hunters Guild. Only True Members of the Hunters Guild can enter that dungeon.

To give a proper example, Aaron is not part of any organisation. Though he has obtained a Hunter Card and can enter dungeons maintained by the Guild, those dungeons are not exclusive dungeons.

Though controlled by the Guild, anyone can enter the dungeon as long as they have the guild card, which is more like a permission slip. It doesn’t make one part of the guild.

There are certain conditions that needed to be cleared in order to become a True Member of the Guild. This is true for almost every organisation present in the alliance.

Only when one becomes a true member can they enter their exclusive areas, which consist of not just dungeons, but ruins and other secret realms.

Though the dungeon he got was a Wolf Dungeon, Aiden was happy about it. This was due to the fact that, in addition to having an exclusive dungeon for the guild completely, the Draconic Bull dungeon was open exclusively to both the Hunters Guild and the Alliance.

This dungeon is open to both True members of the Hunters Guild and the Alliance.

Aaron and everyone else are a part of the alliance but are not true members of the organisation. When they graduate from Awakener academies, they might get a chance to become a true member of one of the organisations, including the alliance.

Only then can one enjoy the exclusive benefits of that organisation. It was just like how a new awakener would become a student of the academy and enjoy the benefits provided by that particular academy.

Of course, the alliance doesn’t want to strongarm everyone into joining an organisation in order to grow. It allows freelancers, too, as trying to push everyone into a fixed corner would be disastrous. Everyone should be given a choice to select. If they didn’t want to join, they would be allowed to move freely.

Of course, if everything were the same for everyone, who would even join the organisations?

So, the freelancers might have a way to enter dungeons to gain levels or earn money from the loot they acquired from the dungeons, but that would be it.

They won’t have access to special category dungeons, like Skill Stone dungeons and dungeons that would give out rare loot items like the one that Aiden just secured for the Hunters Guild.

Aiden reached the Hunters Guild HQ once he left the Alliance HQ.

The distance was very near, as they are both in the central part of the capital city, only a few buildings between each other. So, instead of updating his subordinates about the matter using a communicator, he decided to do so face-to-face.

He only informed his assistant to assemble every high-level Hunter that was present inside the guild and even call anyone inside the capital at the moment. No need to worry about the ones that are not present in the capital city.

When Aiden arrived at the HQ, there were more than twenty-five hunters gathered. Two are Rank-7, while five are at Rank-6, which should be more than enough to eliminate the top monsters easily.

Looking at the twenty members in the hall, Aiden explained what was happening and what benefits one would get from participating in this save and rescue.

All are higher level members, so Aiden didn’t hide and told them what the guild would get which means they would have access to these dungeons, and these twenty would be given priority over others for the first few days and also they has no need to pay tax for entering those two dungeons for those few days.

After hearing the details, no one backed down. The benefits are too good to say no to this offer. They accepted the work.

Once everyone was onboard, before Aiden gave orders of deployment, to be safe, he already communicated with the Hunters Guild branch near the Last Bastion to be ready for some small reinforcements, which would take care of the low-ranking monsters, once these twenty erase the top-ranking monsters, their leaders.

He can’t ask a Rank-6 hunter to hunt down a Rank-2 or Rank-3 monster. It would be like looking down on that hunter. So, he sent a message to gather a few Rank-2 and Rank-3 hunters discreetly in the next hour or so and wait for further instructions.

He didn’t specify why, because he was afraid the information would be leaked, and if it did, he would have to take the blame if anything bad happened.

For the dungeons, everything has to happen perfectly.

Once everything was prepared, he gave the order to move.

With orders given, the hunters moved swiftly.

Unlike the movements of Alliance, if it were the Hunters Guild that made moves, that wouldn’t alert the cults much. They would only think that the guild might have found some secret realm or something like that.

The cults would like to see where they were going, but they won’t get as much attention as when it was the alliance that was making moves, as when the alliance makes moves, many times it is against the cults. So, they need to prepare to defend themselves or flee based on the scenario at the time.

Hunters Guild, on the other hand, unless they are provoked, they won’t retaliate, and this happens in two scenarios. One was if their guild properties were attacked, or guild members were attacked.

At the moment, the cults are at war with the alliance, not the guild, and that would stay like unless some idiot thinks that they can attack the Guild members or their properties for their cause. It was less likely to happen as they had given strict orders regarding this.

For now, they would only respond in a high manner if they detect unusual movements from the alliance. This is what earned Aiden those two dungeons for use, but that would be effective only after he helps the soldiers at the Last Bastion, before it is too late.

If the guild fails to help the fort, then the guild might have to forget about those dungeons, which is why only twenty moved from the guild. This way, the cults would be too late to know what was happening.

Also, with only twenty or so hunters moving, the cults wouldn’t be too focused on the guild. This was their plus point, which Aiden intended to use before it disappears.
