Aria and Michael went towards the city hall as they moved out of the Red Mask Building. Morgan's man also informed him about both of them and their selection of mission.

"It does not matter what you guys do. You both will not be able to found anything related to ruin, so you guys can try your best." Morgan thought in his mind.

"It is fine to let them do whatever they want. You do not need to continue to spy on them lest old man Davis comes rebutting me. They would not be able to find anything in the ruin." Morgan said to his people.

At City Hall,

Aria and Michael arrived at city hall. When they reached there, they saw the people from the other three powers waiting for them. Coincidently, only two people have accepted the mission from all the powers.

"Okay, so I think we have everyone here. We can start going moving." said the bulky man from Roger Family.

"Wait, everyone needs to introduce themselves and tell their expertise. So, that we can be ready to take action if anything happens." retorted a slim and tall woman from Black Knight corps.

A Greybeard from the city council also expressed "I think it will be great for all of us if we know each other names at least, furthermore we still have some time."

"It's such a waste of time to know each other names, just call each other by their group name and distinct looks, like you Greybeard from the council or little boy and girl from red mask gang." retorted the bulky man.

"If you do not want to introduce yourself, let us do it," said Michael. "My name is Michael and this is Aria."

"It's okay, just call me Greybeard and this is Anna," Greybeard said, leading towards the young girl with her.

"Forget about this bull, my name is Mora and this is Emily," said a tall and slim-looking woman.

"Whatever I still believe this is a waste of time but whatever. My name is Mellow roger and this is Chris." said the bulky man.

Everyone started to laugh after hearing his name. They finally got it why the bulky guy did not want to tell his name. A guy like this is named Mellow. Everyone thought the same thing.

Black Lore City is divided into four groups City Council, Black Knight Corps, Roger Family, and Red Mask Gang. Every group has the badges that they wear on their clothes. City Council has a unicorn on fire on their badges, whereas Roger Family has a bull on fire.

Black Knight Corps has a black cape on their badge, whereas Red Mask Gang has a red mask.

After the introduction, everyone told their expertise.

Two of them are aura users (Aria and Greybeard).

Four of them are good at hand-hand combat and are guns user (Michael, Mellow, Mora, and Emily),

and the remaining two specialize in hit-and-run (assassination) dagger/knife users (Anna and Chris).

Finally, they started moving towards the Black Forest on the way Michael asked the information related to the previous scout who reported the horde to tier-2 monsters and the latest news related to the Black Forest. Most of the information he got was pretty much the rumours that he already knew.

But he did get an important piece of news that, people are reported coming from the west end of the black forest to the black lore city. No one knew which group they belong to since they did not wear any badges and before any one of them get caught, they all vanished. Michael had a gut feeling this is related to Morgan or Axel.

While Michael was thinking out how will he be able to find out about these. Aria finally got the last piece of the puzzle that was missing.

While they both are in thoughts, Anna and Chris reported their sighting of monsters upfront.

Michael, Mellow, Mora, and Emily took their position and covering Aria and Greybeard putting them in the centre, while Chris and Anna vanished in Blind Spots of trees. Even during the day, the forest almost has no shade of light, anything is barely visible beyond the sight of 10metres. But they got Anna and Chris to help them here.

Four people took out their gene guns, while the other two in the centre formed aura circles covering them. One aura shows affinity to life, while the other one to lightning. A group of eight people was fully ready to fight, but even after 5minutes of waiting, they got no sound and instruction from Chris or Anna. Suddenly, Anna and Chris came out of their hiding spots.

"This is strange there were definitely some monsters heading towards this location but now no one is in sight," said Chris

Anna moved forward and checked the location where she sighted monsters and said "Yeah, it is weird it almost like no one was here."

"If what you guys saying is correct, maybe we have a problem," Greybeard said with a grave tone.

"What do you mean old beard," asked Mellow?

Greybeard moved towards Mellow "It is GREY BEARD Mellow" said Greybeard, then he turned towards the place Anna and Chris sighted monsters and said" Normally if monsters noticed any living being in there, they start to attack them regardless of the difference in strength. That's why killing monsters in groups is easy. But that's only when we talk about low-tier monsters."

"You mean we are facing at least a tier-4 monsters," asked Mora.

"But that is not possible tier-4 monsters have never been recorded around the Black Lore City" Mellow interpreted.

"Not necessarily," said Anna.

"What you mean, Miss Anna," asked Michael.

"She meant there are things other than monsters who can also do this," answered Greybeard.

"Hey man you just said low tier monster cannot do that, now you are telling me they, what are you trying to say" asked Mellow.

"a Low tier monster cannot, but a human can" replied Greybeard.
