My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 167: Powerful Adventurer Parties Join The Expedition

-----

The party quickly reached the town, entering the Adventurer Guild where they were greeted by a larger than usual group of Adventurers gathering inside of the building.

"Are you ready to go?"

"I don\'t know, I am a bit nervous about this…"

"Come on, the bounty is pretty good, and we\'ll be joining a big group, no way we\'ll die,"

"It is certainly quite dangerous…"

"Can we even take down a Rank 2 Monster? No, two of them? And there\'s even the possibility of a Rank 3 monster!"

"Only Rank 2 Adventurers can even hope to face them,"

"It\'s hopeless, we\'ll go simply to die there as fodder,"

"Talking about Rank 2…"

"Oh wow look, those are… Rank 2?!"

"So many… and three of them! And the rest are all Rank 1 at Peak…"

"Maybe they could do it?"

"Damn, what envy…"

"Wait… aren\'t those the kids from a week ago?! How are they so strong now?!"

"No way… This is… insane…"

"Maybe they\'re different people?"

"Y-Yeah, it\'s impossible for people to from initial stage to peak stage so fast…"

"Hm, we must be hallucinating…"

Frank and his party heard the comments of many people, some of those had finally begun to realize that the kids they once laughed at had come back with cultivations already surpassing some old veterans!

Such a situation was so unlikely and impossible that they began to think that these people simply looked like those kids they once laughed at, and the new equipment and weapons they were wearing, which seemed of rather high quality, made for this to be more believable.

It was better for these people to think that they simply confused these kids with the others instead of accepting the fact that something so unlikely and near impossible could happen.

After all, reaching Peak Stage at Rank 1 would take at least one or two years to someone with the highest talent of A-Rank, but these people did it only after a bit over a week…

And the most impressive thing is that there were three Rank 2 Adventurers within the party!

Although Rank 2 Adventurers were rare in this town, they were not non-existent, nonetheless, every time one showed up, it would always bring the attention of the people, especially the strong Auras that they exuded, which differentiated them from the normal folk.

Frank walked towards Clishya who waved her hand gently at him while sweating a bit over the comments of the people.

"Frank-kun! How are you? Are you… coming for the extermination request?" asked Clishya quite loudly, showing off to the other Adventurers that Frank was someone well-known to an assistant of the Guild!

"No way, that guy is an acquittance of the cute Clishya-chan?!"

"What…"

"This…"

"T-That wimp!?"

"O-Oi, low your tone, he\'s a Rank 2 Magus…"

It seemed that Clishya\'s beauty was not ignored by the folk, and many of them were interested in her romantically. Seeing Frank be so familiar with her broke their hearts!

"It seems that everyone is quite loud today, huh? And indeed. We have come to join the expedition," said Frank.

"We are ready to take them down," said Gwendolyn.

"We\'ll slash their heads off!" said Cathyl while raising the amazing axe she had gotten through the drops of monsters inside Hunting Domains.

"Yup," said Vheslia, unleashing her Mana Aura, intimidating the surrounding Adventurers even more!

"T-They\'re really monsters…"

"We cannot even compare to their league…"

"Man, this is hopeless, they\'ll get all the bounty…"

"I see! It is so nice to see some brave adventurers in here, especially after seeing so many who had rejected the request…" said Clishya while shrugging, eyeing at some of the shivering adventurers.

"What is the bounty?" asked Asterion.

"Oh, the bounty are 20 Gold Coins, alongside the corpses and Mana Cores of the two monsters of course!" said Clishya.

"20 Gold Coins… that\'s…" muttered Gwendolyn.

"With that, we could even buy a manor!" said Annabelle.

"That\'s very generous of the Guild… Very well, we\'ll take it… Are there others that would want to join us, by any chance?" wondered Frank.

"Indeed, there are two more brave parties, they are there to the left, the Golden Lions and the Storm Chasers," said Clishya, pointing at two groups of Adventurers that had kept themselves rather silent, or talking with each other instead of commenting aloud over Frank\'s party.

"If you want, we can make a meeting so all three of the parties can meet together within a hall," said Clishya.

"That would be ideal," said Frank.

"Err… by the way, this is something necessary… But, have you thought about a name for your Party?" asked Clishya.

"Name?" asked Frank.

"Indeed, the Golden Lions have their name, and also the Storm Chasers! Each famous and strong party of adventurers always has their own names," said Clishya.

"We haven\'t really thought about one…" said Frank.

"Indeed, we never thought about it in detail…" said Gwendolyn.

"Maybe… Family?" asked Cathyl.

"Family? That\'s a bit vague… I propose, Shadow Servants!" said Vheslia.

"No, that\'s a bit too edgy, and not all of us wield shadow and dark magic, Vheslia-san," said Kamei.

"What about Brave Warriors?" asked Asterion.

"There are some mages, so it is not really fitting… I propose Fiery Slayers!" said Annabelle.

"Fiery Slayers sound interesting… but what about Monarchs of Unity?" asked Hilvera.

"Monarchs of… Unity…" said the entire group, glancing at Hilvera in surprise.

"T-That sounds good… how did you come out with that name?" asked Cathyl.

"A-Ah well… I don\'t know, I just merged two cool-sounding names together," said Hilvera.

"Monarch of Unity sounds good! It gives the vibe that you\'re important, and it is not easy to forget as well!" said Clishya.

"That\'s… very well then, Monarchs of Unity it is!" said Frank, as Clishya nodded happily, writing down their party name.

From this day onward, Frank\'s Party was named Monarchs of Unity!

May their names resonated through all of Terra!

And may their adventurers and prophecies be known by all nations!

"Now that we are finally done with such things, it is time for the meeting, it seems that not any other adventurers are interested in joining the hunt anymore, so we\'ll take it down and make it so with the three parties… Come with me," said Clishya, as she called Frank and his party, walking inside a large room on the second floor, where the Guild Master of this Town, a stoic old man with a muscular body and a long black hair was sitting in front of a desk, he seemed incredibly brave and rude, not at all like a Guild Master would look like!

"Oh, my bad, I guess I didn\'t tell you that this meeting would be led by the Guild Master, Lord Adrian!" said Clishya.

"Are you perhaps Frank and his party? Clishya has told me a lot about you and what you\'ve been doing these last few days, the number of monsters you hunt is simply insane… You have a bright future ahead," said Adrian, his emerald eyes shining with a strong conviction and gentleness, his whole Mana Aura was stronger than even Frank, he was… a Rank 3 Magus!

"So strong… I can even felt like his Aura is trying to slowly take over this entire place…" thought Frank, swallowing saliva.

"A-Adrian-san, please lower down your Aura a bit…" said Clishya.

"Oh! My bad, I was trying to test them a bit, but they seem strong! They resisted it like nothing!" laughed Adrian wholeheartedly.

"A-Anyways, their Official Party name is Monarchs of Unity! And they are indeed a promising group!" said Clishya.

Suddenly, the door opened once more like a group of cat-kin of various types entered, they were five members in total, a Tiger-kin, a Leopard-kin, a Wild Cat-kin, a Lynx-kin, and a Lion-kin!

"Monarchs of Unity? Isn\'t that a bit of a pretentious name for a bunch of rookies?" asked the Lion-kin, a Rank 2 Upper Stage Magus, and the leader of the Golden Lions, Rabrudion!

"Ah, sir Rabrudion, welcome," said Clishya.

"Hmph, are we really trusting our backs to these rookies? There are three Rank 2, so what? My whole party is Rank 2!" said Rabrudion, and indeed, his entire party was Rank 2 Magus as well, surprising even Frank!

"These guys… I haven\'t seen them around, did they come here from the city?" wondered Frank.

"It would be wise of you to watch your tongue, lion. Or you might end up burning it," said Gwendolyn, as a small flame emerged from her hand!

"Haaah?! Is that a treat, vixen?!" roared the tiger-kin of the party.

"Oi, don\'t be rude with the boss, woman!" roared the Lynx-kin of the party.

"Hmmm… Shut up your bunch. I like her, she got spirit… We can break it later," laughed Rabrudion.

Frank glanced at Rabrudion, he could not help but have a bad feeling about these people…

"Anyways, it is nice to meet you, we\'ll be working together to defeat the Goblin Champion and Goblin King, so it would be nice that we were on good terms, my name is Frank, leader of the Monarchs or Unity," said Frank, giving his hand to Rabrudion.

Rabrudion glanced at Frank\'s hand with scorn.

"A human being the leader of a beast-kin party? What kind of joke is this? I am not giving my hand to a filthy human," said Rabrudion, averting his gaze from Frank.

Frank looked like a human because he had hidden most of his features through the use of his camouflage Skill alongside Spells that combined their effects with the Skill, such as Gray Magic, creating a transparent foggy mass of magic coated in the illusion of Camouflage, alongside covering himself with large amounts of armor and clothes. To them, he looked like an albino and slightly pale human.

Frank sighed a bit, as Clishya was desperately trying to lighten the mood until the door opened once more.

A group of Adventurers clad in shiny armor emerged, four people, each one was of a race of bird-kin, and all of them seemed strong and valiant to the Storm Chasers.

Frank quickly noticed it… they were all Rank 2 as well!
