Chapter 457 Opening the Gate Part 3
CHIRP! CHIRP! CHIRP!
The sounds of birds caught his attention. When he turned up, he saw small birds resembling robins, but their feathers were all green and glowing.
It was not just their unique appearance that really caught his attention; it was their vitality.
Each bird radiated an energy that felt as strong as that of an average human, which shouldn't be possible for such small creatures.
"I think we are in the right place," Lilith broke the silence.
"What gives it away? Is it the glowing birds?" he teased her.
But she just ignored him and suddenly moved, finally revealing some of her power.
SWOOOSH!
Reign followed closely behind, matching her pace.
In no time, they reached the top, where a large stone door stood imposingly before them.
The door was adorned with intricate carvings that depicted a large tree, with people kneeling before it, worshiping and seeking its blessing.
"This is it!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.
Without wasting any more time, she quickly pulled out the dark key she had with her. It began to vibrate resonating with whatever was inside.
The next moment ,a keyhole materialized on the surface of the large door , aligning perfectly with the key.
"Once I use my key, we'll be engulfed by a white pillar and transported to another space. Please don't worry; as I said, the Light is safe," she explained calmly.
"I don't know what will happen or if we'll get separated, but no matter what occurs, you need to keep moving forward. finish the trials until we find each other again."
"What if I complete the trials and you're not there? Is it alright to assume that you died?"
It was an honest question, but Lilith found it irritating.
"Don't underestimate me too much," she snapped, a flash of frustration crossing her face
"I might not be as good as you in fighting, but I'm confident in my survival skills. Don't forget that I managed to get a key on my own."
Reign decided not to respond, sensing that he had hit a nerve. He could see the tension in her shoulders and the way her jaw tightened.
There was no air in the room, yet his short blonde hair swayed upward as if caught in an unseen breeze.
"W—Who are you?" the team leader stammered, his instincts screaming for him to flee.
He took a small step back, trying to shake off the unsettling feeling creeping up his spine.
CLICK!
His katana moved, and they all flinched, expecting him to draw it in a quick motion. Instead, he did the opposite, and close it.
'Is he not planning to attack?' they all wondered.
But before they could respond, the hunter began to walk away.
"Wait— " They tried to speak but no voice came out.
Time finally caught up to them, and in an instant, everyone exploded, their bodies bursting apart in a spray of blood and visceral chunks, realizing too late that they had already been killed.
They all had enhanced physical abilities and senses, but none of them could comprehend what had just happened, revealing the vast gap in power between the hunter and themselves.
And this wasn't happening just here; across different locations inside the Capitol, Lilith's army was being easily wiped out.
In front of these hunters, they were nothing more than minor inconveniences that could be dealt with at any time.
After they were done with it, it was time to clock out and head back to the ship.
That was the plan, anyway, when a pillar of light erupted from the Capitol.
It shot upward, breaking through the clouds and continuing to reach the sky.
All the Tier 1 hunters near the pillar of light turned to face its direction, compelled by an irresistible urge to investigate.
"Let's see what's going on," one female hunter said with a curious tone.
