Chapter 66: CHAPTER 66 – Noctura’s Growth and Recap 1.

It was not just Alice and Ann that had grown stronger in these past three months, even the little pup they took in had grown up to be much stronger.

Noctura, the little wolf pup that Alex had found was not little anymore, her height was now equal to that of a normal dog and her fur had grown darker while her blue eyes now had golden ting in them.

Noctura had grown so much that she could survive in an A-rank gate alone, but yeah, she could survive, not clear it.

She had learned some more abilities with Alex's help, growing more proficient in her control over the shadow element.

When Alice, Ann, and Alex entered the gate, Alex had let go of Noctura, telling her to go train her presence concealment in the midst of their fight. Noctura did just what she was told like a loyal servant she treated herself as.

Noctura had grown intelligent in the three long months and now she could speak out some broken words from her mouth while not even being an S-ranked beast.

When Noctura spoke for the first time, both Alice and Ann were beyond surprised as they knew that Noctura had yet to reach S-rank, no, she had yet to even reach A-rank, but she was still able to speak.

How big of a news was this?

They knew that if this news was known to the world, then there was going to be a bloody war where some would want to tame Noctura, some would want to kill Noctura and some would want to conduct experiments on Noctura.

But they didn't think too much about it as they were now strong enough to protect her, so they were just happy, and they celebrated that whole day or more like they asked Alex to cook something good for them.

Noctura had been jumping from one shadow to another, moving close to the Yetis and then running away, just to practice her ability, and the Yetis would just stand in their place oblivious to her presence that continued lurking around in the field.

As she continued to lurk, after a while Noctura noticed that the gate boss had been cleared by Alice while the mid-boss was dealt with by Ann.

She didn't waste a single second and ran towards Alex, expecting to get complimented for doing good. She didn't deactivate her ability as she wanted to surprise Alex, even though she knew that her presence was never actually hidden from Alex.

But as Noctura ran towards Alex, she could see that Alex didn't show any reaction, acting as if he didn't notice her. She got happy seeing Alex's actions and directly jumped on him as she reached near him.

This action surprised both Alice and Ann since they couldn't see her, after all, the Noctura came from behind their backs.

Alex's mind then wandered to the events that had happened in the past three months, and if one were to say then these three months had been anything but good for the Association.

The first event that happened was a small argument between some local and foreign raiders, but that small argument didn't stay small for a long time as it soon turned into a bloody battle that resulted in many civilians' deaths along with the eventual death of the foreign raider.

This case gave the Association a huge headache as they were already frustrated because they couldn't find any traces of the culprit or the mastermind who stole the Incomplete Mana core.

They had to compensate Green Country for the loss of the Raider who died in their country as the raider who died in the dispute was a high-class B-rank raider from Green Country. Then they had to calm the public and find some satisfactory explanation.

But as the case was still going on, the Association suddenly got a piece of news from an unknown source that had the images of Joseph Claude A.K.A the White Shark guild's master with some guy wearing the same clothes as the thieves that stole Mana core entering the Auction Hall together.

This piece of news was later found to be true by the Association after comparing information from their own sources. As the White Shark Guild now looked suspicious and shady to the Association, they decided to use the 'best card' they had.

They knew that the people they were dealing with were the unknowns as the Association knew nothing about them, other than the fact that those people were able to steal the Mana core even when the world's strongest raider interfered.

So, rather than taking risks, they decided to send Stephan to investigate this case which caused Stephan to curse his luck.

Stephan, however, knew that cursing his luck was not going to help him, so he just prayed for everything to be fine.

Stephan along with some other high-ranked raiders from the Association went to the White Shark Guild to investigate it. But the same day something happened, something that shocked the whole world for a while, be it raiders or normal citizens....
