Chapter 29: Adrenaline junkie

"I guess everything has been taken care of," Terry said on the night before the trip. "While I will count on you to manage the guild while I am away, don't hesitate to call me if something happens."

"All right," Rebecca said. "I won't take any chances and make mistakes, so you can relax."

"That puts me at ease. Wait for good news about our next branch," Terry said.

Terry couldn't let anyone notice that he was going to leave for a while, so he was going to leave his room in the darkness of the night. In any case, his confidence was quite refreshing, so Rebecca didn't feel nervous about managing a guild that had hundreds of members in his place.

Although he had planned to sleep for a while, in the end, even Terry wasn't someone completely free of worries and tension, so he stayed awake until three in the morning, and then he left for the airport.

Only those working for the government knew about that, and the soldiers also had been informed about Terry's arrival, so they opened the gate without a fuss when he showed up.

In the distance, Terry saw a single military aircraft ready to depart, so he walked toward it. Terry also found a group of people prepared to enter the vehicle. They were Mary, Oliver, and Louis.

"It seems everyone accepted the offer. I am glad," Louis said. "Aside from a few others who are going to travel with us to transport resources, we are the main team of Chicago. Don't hope too much for me, though. I am a weakling."

Louis waited for some laughter, but after a while, he sighed. No one was there to waste time, and his attitude only worsened the mood.

That was a weird type of metal if Terry had even heard about one. Still, if they could become a weapon, then his trait could work on them, and then perhaps he will be able to use their full power. A weapon that could become armor as well. That was what Terry truly needed.

"As for their appearance, they are humanoids, but they are a lot tougher than humans. A party of six medium-ranked hunters is the minimum necessary to face one of them, and most of the time, one of them still dies," Louis said. "Aside from their weapons that can become anything they need from several types of weapon to armor, they have a rough gray skin that offers them a lot of resistance as well. They were all muscular and around two and a half meters tall. To the very core, they are a species way more suited to combat than humans."

That sure made things more interesting. Lately, Terry felt bored even while hunting the camps of the enemies by himself. He didn't know if he was getting reckless or if he was just an adrenaline junkie.

Although he wanted to hear more, Terry frowned when Louis ended his explanation there. It looked like seeing them by themselves would be better than any explanation.

After a couple of hours, the aircraft landed at New York airport, and Terry saw some airplanes around. They had been landed a bit earlier, bringing the guild masters from other states as well.

"Should we go to the hotel or the dungeon first?" Louis asked.

"Dungeon," Terry, Mary, and Oliver said in unison.

"I guess it is too early to rest, and you guys have superhuman stamina," Louis shrugged.

Terry wanted to see those creatures as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the other two wanted to use as many chances as possible to get the dungeon under their control.

In any case, Louis asked someone to borrow one of the many jeeps of the army parked there, and then they headed toward the dungeon.
