Chapter 277: 277. Human Federation Realm - Three Months Later

The larva died, and its body began to fall into the poisonous pond before it turned into red particles and disappeared into the air, leaving behind a core and an axe.

Orion waved his hand, releasing a swirl of wind that caught the core and the axe before they could fall into the poisonous pond, bringing them over to the red-haired lady.

"Erza, take them."

Erza, the red-haired lady, didn't decline and accepted the core and axe floating toward her. Afterward, her spear also floated back to her, and she caught it.

"Thanks, Ray."

She thanked Orion, mistaking him for someone named Ray, and then turned her attention to the crowd. "This dungeon is clear. Let's leave. Rewards will be distributed at the guild."

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

"Ray, come with me," Erza called out to Orion.

Orion smiled and walked over. "What is it, Erza?" he asked, unsure of what she wanted.

"Take this," she said, handing him the core. "Since you're at the peak of silver rank, this might help you."

"Hehe, thanks, Erza," Orion replied gratefully.

Erza shook her head. "No need to thank me. You're a member of our guild, and you've been working hard and giving your all, so you deserve this."

"I know, but thanks again," Orion said, his expression full of gratitude. "Your guild accepted me when I was desperate for a job, so I'm thankful."

Erza nodded. They soon walked out of the boss room and emerged into a lush green forest.

"Let's leave the dungeon," she said, taking the lead.

Orion nodded and followed behind her.

Not long after, they arrived before a crowd of people gathered around a portal.

"Let's go and leave."

Orion, Erza, and the others boarded the jet, which soon took off and disappeared into the sky.

After flying for a while, the jet landed at a secure facility.

The area was fortified like a military base, exuding a sense of impenetrable security. High walls encircled the perimeter, topped with spirals of barbed wire that glinted menacingly in the light.

Armed guards patrolled the grounds, their watchful eyes scanning for any threat, while surveillance cameras kept constant vigil from atop sturdy towers.

At the center of this heavily guarded compound stood a massive building, its sleek, angular design a proof to advanced technology. The structure was seamlessly connected to a network of other buildings, varying in size but all sharing the same futuristic architecture.

Behind the central building, a spacious landing zone lay ready to accommodate arriving aircraft. Here, a sleek jet had just touched down, its engines winding down as it settled onto the reinforced tarmac.

The landing zone was lined with bright, directional lights and flanked by automated systems designed to facilitate quick and efficient arrivals and departures. The scene was one of calculated precision, every detail engineered for maximum security and efficiency.

Orion and the others disembarked the jet and made their way toward the building.

"Ray, about what you asked earlier, the selection will happen tomorrow, so be sure to be there on time," Erza said to Orion, referring to something he had asked about a while ago.

Orion's eyes shone with visible excitement as he nodded at her.

"Also, upgrade to gold rank today. Only gold rank experts and above are allowed for that," Erza advised.

Orion nodded. He understood that the chosen ones could only be from the gold ranks. That's why, since arriving in the Human Federation Realm, he had spent his time hunting and improving his talent mastery.

A week ago, his talent mastery had reached the peak of silver rank, along with all his stats. All he needed were some gold-rank cores for the mutagens before he could begin the upgrade process.

Arriving at the entrance of one of the buildings, Orion waved his watch in front of a sensing screen, which glowed green. Every member of the team did the same. They waved their watches at the screen, which glowed green momentarily before returning to normal.
