Chapter 32 The Disaster Is Coming
Volmak did the final touching of the repair which was just fusing the door to its frame. Afterward, he moved a long wooden table from behind the cabin as well as three chairs and began to set the tables.
The dishes were unlike anything Raith has ever seen but still, the smell of the meat felt so familiar even though they didn\'t look it.
The Cooked Aberrant Oyster soup was black but the oysters in the soup were blue in particular, if the food was judged by appearance then it will be tagged as poison but the sweetening aroma that stuffed Raith\'s lungs as he stared down at the ominous-looking food made his throat long for some feel of it—He wanted to suck the oyster dry.
The soup was not the only delicacy he had to deal with, what about the Ikidarin bread and Griffin jam, a special kind of jelly that is created from the milk of Griffin and the red bunyip plant. The bread was rounded with the jam sitting in between it like its belly button and there were several of it on the table.
"Ah, it\'s my favorite!"
Raith looked up and saw the arrogant vampire deep the bread into the soup, he then sloppily slipped it into his mouth, he brought out the oyster, and put it into his mouth munching on everything in one go.
Raith gulped with drool and looked down at his.
"Lord Absalom, you should stop eating like that. And you too should try it. I\'m sure it looks different from the food you are used to but it might even beat yours."
~gulp~
Raith had long succumbed to the temptation of the food, he just was being skeptical. With Vomak\'s encouragement, he did the same thing Absalom did and slipped the bread into his mouth but not sloppily like Absalom, he was accurate and precise, making sure there were no droppings.
"Mhhmmm"
His eyes widened immediately the bread and jam began to melt into the soup as he grind them with his teeth, the entire flavor scattered in his mouth and filled his taste buds with a new kind of delicious heaven.
"Why the hell is this damn human copying me?"
Absalom glared at Raith who paid him no attention and was super consumed in the space between the soup and his mouth.
Volmak chuckled as he watched Raith enjoy the food so much and smiled as he looked at Absalom too.
\'You\'ve suffered, I hope with the help of this one variable you will be able to enjoy the goodness that living gives us. A lot is about to change, I wonder how Felfhiem will take it\'
He too began to slowly dig but unlike the two, he tore the bread bit by bit and sipped the soup after eating the bread.
There was no setting of the sun but the dawning of the night and the multicolored stars caused a beauty and radiant golden glor to seep out of the horizon and painted the entire place with the love of memories.

(Rigeria Country)
Rigeria was one of the many countries that were built around the belief of the eight archons; to be particularly the Archon of nature; one that granted elemental skills and Perks, heroes who were chosen by the archon of nature would often gain skills that were related to the nature around them, lightning, earth, wood manipulation, water-bending, and fire management, there was diverse use to the skills but one of its important uses is its usefulness in dungeon raids as support for the raid team.
Heroes are protagonists and as such do not always want to take the backstage especially when they are well-fitted for the mainstage unless they have no choice or because there is a stronger hero in the party, even if they take the backstage the type of attack pattern that was rampant was damage dealing and tankers who were otherwise known as defenders, there was no use for those kinds of attack pattern for supporters as such only heroes of the nature archon could do the job very well but to add salt to the wound, they were scarce.
And were like a rare gem.
The media and several police wagons roughly parked around a red swirling portal that stood in the middle of the road. With their armed weapons as the gate released sparks.
The next moment several people could be seen coming out of the gate with injuries all over their bodies, some had even lost a part of their limbs while some were carried on stretchers, and some were bandaged.
The reporters swarmed forward as a certain man with russet-brown, surfer hair and full beards of the same color came out of the portal. The armor he wore above his black and white casual wear was stained with purple blood and a clawed mark was engraved on his pauldron.
"Hero Pedus Andregant, what do you have to say to the citizen of Rigeria who has trusted their safety into the hands of the Bluezlion guild?"
The lady said pointing a fancy and slim mic to the man\'s gut.
He paused and lowered his eyelids but not completely but for that brief moment expressing a degree of sadness that grip the heart of the people that watched him on the news from their respective houses and even internationally.
"I deeply apologize for this great disappointment. As the guild master of the Bluezlion guild, I take full responsibility for this loss, we prepared without might after we heard of how even the association and several other guilds were not able to clear this dungeon..." He gritted his teeth. "...I was sure that we would be able to do it but these monsters are unlike everything that we have ever seen, with no hero to entrust our backs so we were swarmed and killed from behind, we stood no chance before the monster boss whose movement we couldn\'t even see as he slayed our men.
I believe the association has urged us before and I will say it again. We need more heroes than ever before. especially heroes of the nature archon. Please, we know you have been insulted and laughed at before because of your abilities but these are the times that call for a reunion of purpose, leave aside your grudges and let us protect our nation together.
Once again, I apologize for the disappointment, I have lost a lot of my people inside there but it is not an excuse, I\'m just asking for understanding and forgiveness from the citizen of this great country."
He said with one more bow in front of the woman.
He and several other heroes walked away while the injured were taken away in ambulances. The reporters swarmed them regardless but were kept at bay by the police.
"Trash! Trash! Would you look at that guy, his acting skills just get better by the day?"
A certain man with a tank top said as he sat in a beach resort parlor watching the news.
On his right arm was a thorn of roses tattoo that streamed down to his wrist.
"How can you know for sure that he is lying."
A man donned in a wine-colored suit and black inner shirt with fancy shades and a toothpick in his mouth responded, crossing one leg over the other as he smirked at the man sitting beside him who had just talked.
"Ah, see... I have worked with him for a bit... that bastard sees no use for humans other than them being a necessary sacrifice for the greater good."
He responded, flipping his side-parted two-block hair, the greenness of his hair glimmered under the radiance of the beach sun, along with his playboy face that housed a small dot right beside his mouth and his flawless bright skin that was like the color of the sun itself, he would make any woman reach orgasm with just a wink.
But the suited man seating beside him wasn\'t bad either, only that his face was more casual looking but stood out with his brown skin and black slick back hair.
"Does it matter now, you too Thaw Sanada have climbed so many people to reach where you are today. Or are you just carrying a little grudge because Pedus has looked down on you for being just a regular fire dude?"
The dark-skinned guy stated, leaning back and spreading his arms over the couch with a chuckle.
"You sure know how to tickle my anger spots, Virgo boy."
"A\'ight, I\'ll take that as a compliment. What are you going to do now? The strongest guild in Rigera failed to clear a level 10 difficulty dungeon. They would start to look outside for help and other countries too are busy solving their business since this is a worldwide issue."
"Yes, you are right. It has just been a month since level 10 dungeons appeared in different places all over the world but the nations have suffered so much damage around them. It is about time for me and my guild of support-based youngsters to monetize our existence."
Thaw Sanada a level S hero of the nature archon grinned as he enjoyed how the situation of this disaster was playing out for his good.
Following the disaster in Rigeria, Ephselon city which was where the level 10 dungeon appeared was issued an emergency evacuation, every citizen that valued his or her life was told to leave the city because once a dungeon stays too long uncleared, the monsters inside begin to break out.
But this phenomenon was not something that happened in Rigeria alone, few other countries suffered the same appearance of level 10 dungeons, although some of that few were able to clear the dungeons such as Pomei Empire and Shining City Nation.
