"Raaawwwrgh!"
Once again, werelion roared fiercely, emitting a tremendous vibration in the air. It stung every Hunter's ears. Several Hunters who stood near the monster immediately fell to the ground. Their eyes and ears were bleeding profusely.
After that, werelion charged towards the infirmary tent, where the injured Hunters gathered.
"Kyaaaaa!"
The female healers screamed as werelion ran towards them with glowing red eyes.
"Everyone! Hold up!"
The fierce-looking man who stood next to Isaac exclaimed. Instantly, dozens of Hunters who were originally tasked as medical support took a defensive position, preparing to withstand the oncoming attack.
At that very moment, they were ready to become meat shields.
They swallowed hard when they saw the beast was getting closer. They wanted to run away out of fear. However, if they ran, the lion monster would kill dozens of healers, and thousands of Hunters who were fighting on the front line would die because there was no one to heal them.
"Nice to work with you guys," said the fierce-faced man weakly. There was a hint of desperation in his voice.
Werelion was less than 10 metres away. Everyone held their breath and gripped their weapons tightly.
"Arrrgh!"
The support Hunters shouted a war cry. Right at that moment, a flash of white shadow shot like an arrow towards werelion.
Bam—! Thud!
The boom echoed throughout that place, as if a meteor had just hit the earth. It wasn't very clear what was going on there because brown dust was scattered everywhere.
The Hunters were shocked, but they heaved a sigh of relief because they didn't have to confront the monster directly. Yet, they were also curious about what had happened to the rampaging werelion.
Not long after, the brown dust in the air thinned out and revealed a woman's figure.
A beautiful woman held blades in both hands. Short black hair and sharp-eyed. She wore clothes that matched her hair, and a white blazer draped over her shoulders.
"Huh? It's Miss Wang Mei!" Feng Hua exclaimed excitedly.
Instantly, the Hunters' face, which was originally resigned with desperation, showed a relief expression. They thought they had escaped from that terrible monster.
Even though the monster was not dead yet.
A growl could be heard. Werelion rose to its feet, its eyes glowing red with anger.
Raawwwgh!
The lion dashed towards Wang Mei. Instantly, she jumped into the air and stabbed the lion's back with both blades.
Splat—!
Rawwwrgh!
The lion monster fell in the pool of blood and didn't move again.
Isaac, who witnessed the incident, opened his eyes wide. The werelion was a low-class monster that had skin as hard as iron. Sharp weapons were not enough to pierce its skin. Unless the opponent had a high Strength stat.
His eyes started to sparkle as if he found a new toy.

[Class : A]
[Level : 20]
'Great. Perhaps she would become a suitable partner for Guo Chen.'
Then, the woman walked towards the group of healers. Rather, she approached Feng Hua.
"Where are the other squad members? Why are you alone?" asked the woman in a flat tone.
"No, I'm with these three new recruit healers and this hired Hunter." Feng Hua turned to Isaac. He purposely didn't call Isaac a porter. He was afraid it would cause trouble. "We got an order from Miss Wang Yi to assist in the rear, while she and the others came to the front line."
Wang Mei frowned. "That kid never listens."
Not long after, a group of hunters with all-white accessories came closer. One of them, a man with a horizontal scar on his nose, approached Wang Mei.
"Leader, the battle has already taken place. What do we do?"
"Of course we are going to the front line. The other guilds have already advanced to the front. Don't let them get all the stage."
After that, Wang Mei turned around while flicking her blazer gracefully. She walked towards the battle area, followed by dozens of Nine Sky guild members.
Feng Hua looked at them with sparkling eyes.
Then, Isaac asked the man, destroying all of his reverie. "Is she the one in power in the guild?"
"That's right. Goddess of Twin Blades. She's one of the Six Stars, as well as the Guildmaster of the number three large guild in China."
Isaac raised his eyebrows. "Six Stars?"
"Brother? You don't know Six Stars?"
Then, Feng Hua explained to Isaac excitedly.
Six Stars were six individual Hunters who had an S Rank in China. They were the highest rank among Hunters. Of course, it was not without reason. Every time a dungeon break occurred, they were the axis of power. One of them could at least defeat dozens of monsters by themself.
We could say they were like heroes in battle.
Isaac was not ignorant of their existence. It was just a little different from his memory. Based on his knowledge, there were no women in the ranks of the Six Stars. That meant Isaac didn't realize that Wang Mei was an S rank Hunter when he killed the woman back then.
"Are the other five here?"
Feng Hua shook his head. "There is only Miss Wang here. But at least the three major guilds are fighting together in this dungeon break."
Isaac's gaze shifted to the battle that was 200 metres in the vanguard. His high perception stat allowed him to see the battle clearly.
Hundreds of humans endured the endless onslaught of monsters.
The human army consisted of various hunters from various guilds all over China fighting the monster in the front line. It could be seen from several groups of Hunters wearing similar uniforms. Even though there were many guilds in that place, only three guilds dominated the battle.
One of the largest guilds was fighting in the west wing. They wore dark silver armour with all red accessories, like blood-enforcement knights.
Their leader, a grey-haired man in blood-red armour, stepped forward bravely. Together with dozens of his men, he dashed forward and destroyed the line of monsters.
"Come on! Blood Oath Guild! Do not be afraid! Keep going ahead!"
There was also a guild in dark blue robes. However, unlike the Blood Oaths, who fought with brute force, they tended to use tactics more.
Their group controlled the east wing regularly. A melee-type hunter with immense strength was at the forefront, holding every attack. Right behind him, ranged Hunters and casters were launching their attacks.
"Everyone stays in formation. Don't let any monsters barge in!"
The leader ordered his men calmly. There was no glimmer of doubt behind his eyes in those glasses at all.
Feng Hua said they were from the Blue Pegasus guild.
Those guilds were among the top seven largest guilds in China. However, Isaac only took a glance. He wasn't that interested in them in the slightest.
His attention was focused on a woman who threw herself into the sea of monsters. She killed every monster that was near her with blades in both hands. Her expression was flat and emitted a sharp glare that seemed like it could pierce her opponent.
That woman was the Nine Sky guildmaster—Wang Mei.
