Perspective: More than a hundred Monster Hunting Squads were focused on eliminating the Flesh-Cutting Mantis Monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the Monster Hunting Squads under the Main Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Hunting Squads Teams in the Thunderflame Faction were doing their part as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passes, the clashes become more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warriors started to get hurt and suffered serious injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elders have already expected this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they have added a secret function to the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In case of emergency, such as receiving life-threatening injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token will send out the injured warriors out of the secret land, next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the Hunting Squad Teams under the Golden Lightning Palace were progressing at a rapid rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong teams are going to deeper areas to hunt Class-8 and above monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have more number of Commander and General Rank Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the rest of the Teams continued to hunt in the Inner Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not all the teams have full members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some teams got separated while entering the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such warriors were fighting individually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, I found another Mantis Monster a few distance away from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I noticed its strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mouth curves into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a Class-6 Monster,” I mumbled under my breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster noticed the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It immediately rushes to attack with razor-shopped grasping legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I simply held the black sword tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Monster got closer to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I channelled the purple essence to the sword and covered the blade with purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Monster was a few feet away from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its grasping legs almost reached my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, I swung the sword casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crackling lightning burst out from the sword; it tore through the small head of the Mantis Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining lightning crippled and easily destroyed the body of the Class-6 Mantis Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the monster core was left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the result, I clicked my tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Class 6 Monsters are too easy to solve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even full effort was needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My purple lightning has become stronger and more destructive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again I’m feeling great because of the purple lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I know it’s not even the full strength of purple lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a growth-type treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it will grow along with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, I’m feeling good about myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know why whether it’s foolish or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart wants me to go deeper into the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I stayed here, I could only face Class-6 and Class-7 Monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is very easy to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don’t pose any threat to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I want to gain experience, I have to face dangers ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just Master Austin’s advice bothering me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I seriously doubt they would let the Warriors die in the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hunting Squads are the strength of the Warrior Factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, each of them here is a valuable asset to the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I doubt that elders would sit and watch, in case of some emergency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After convincing myself, I started moving towards the deeper area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While on the move, I activated my perceptual ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far no monsters appeared in my area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 minutes later, I have successfully entered the inner area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I failed to come across any monster or fellow faction warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder what others are doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Lightning Palace has 20 teams participating in this task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess it’s the same with other elders as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this mission, I will get to know more about the Monster Hunting Squads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m curious to know which Monster Hunting Squad is powerful in the Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not forgetting there are other warrior factions in the University as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must have their own strongest team as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m getting more curious about these hunting squads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it my blood is boiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To not disappoint the 2 Masters of mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should increase my kill count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was lost in thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt sudden heart palpitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used the Phantom Movement Technique to escape from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I moved away from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive Mantis Monster destroyed the ground with its hind legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mantis Monster was completely black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I appeared a few distance away from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Class-8 Monster,” I said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was wondering where were the higher order monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, one of them appeared before me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Drop” I executed the technique the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick purple ball appears in my right palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I shot the purple ball towards the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Mantis noticed something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It immediately backed away from the spot within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning ball striks the empty ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, several lightning bolts hit the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Mantis Monster is standing at a safe distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it,” I cursed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Monster’s speed was fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can only think of using the defensive technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I chose to defend instead of wasting my essence on hitting the failed target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Mantis flapped its wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it vanishes from the spot and appears above the target by using the wind element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a split second, I hear a loud buzzing sound above my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of crisis touched my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Wheel” A purple wheel appears around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Black Mantis uses its forelegs to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple wheel filled with lightning power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forelegs of the monster come in contact with the purple wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It triggered the purple wheel to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the Manstis Monster bore the full brunt power of purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Monster was defenceless as the lightning power struck it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact force caused the monster to crash on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Monster was left paralyzed by the power of the lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of its body was charred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said that its life is hanging on a thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood up and adjusted my clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact force sent me a few meters away earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting the clothes, I walked towards the Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Monster’s vitality is depleting at a faster rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used the black sword to cut the monster’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the decapitated head rolled over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I immediately collected the monster core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The token in my pocket is lit at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I glanced at the monster before leaving the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued to walk deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, I continued to kill monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was completely dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found the token in my pocket buzzing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that I took the token out and held it in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible layer covered me before I felt my vision go dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I opened my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found myself standing in front of Master Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m back,” I uttered in a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, you are back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give me your token,” Master Austin’s voice reached my ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I handed the token to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can go back to your team,” Master Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded to him before turning around and walking towards the 20th Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, you were hunting alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We tried to locate you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we were pretty occupied dealing with the monsters,” Captain Dan said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I was doing pretty well on my own,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, how many monsters did you hunt?” Cleon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that everyone perked up their ears as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know whether to say it or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Hunting Squads have returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s time to leave,” Master Austin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice attracted everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw the last warrior appeared as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s get to the airship first,” Captain Dan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, others let go of this topic before starting to walk towards the airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, come here,” Master Austin called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I said goodbye to the team before going to Master’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, When everyone boarded the airships and was ready to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go,” Master Austin grabbed my shoulder again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could grasp things, master started taking me back to the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later, He dropped me in front of the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The results will be announced tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can browse it online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will appear on our Faction’s digital rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll see you tomorrow,” After saying that Austin left the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood in the same spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Digital Rankings, “I muttered to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like I need to look into social media accounts,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I turned around and started walking back to my residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Street lights were illuminating the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the residence, I walked into my room and shut the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I went to take a cold bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bath laster for 20 minutes, After walking out, I changed into comfortable clothes before going to bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS
