“Let’s get started,” Arnold said.

His party roared in response. Only faint traces of fear could be found in their determined expressions. Chloe watched them with uncertainty. After resting in a nearby village, Arnold made his decision: they would press forward.

This was no longer a matter of simple revenge. The hunters of Falling Fog all had a glint in their eyes. Standing next to them, Rhuda and the hunters of Scorching Whirlwind all wore stony expressions. This was hunters doing what they were born to do.

They knew there were smarter ways to go about this. However, the pride and mutual trust among the members of Falling Fog simply wouldn’t permit them to turn tail before a treasure vault that the Thousand Tricks had been able to fight his way into. For similar reasons, the much lower-level hunters of Scorching Whirlwind chose to come along.

All that was left for them to put their might and mettle to the test. And if that was their decision, Chloe couldn’t turn around either. Not an iota of animus remained in Arnold’s eyes. Night Palace wasn’t so easy that it could be challenged by a mind weighed down by negative emotions.

The towering castle before them was just as imposing as it had been a few days prior. The churning thunderclouds, the eerie calm that pervaded the eye of the storm, it was all still there. That meant this gloomy state was normal for a Level 8 treasure vault.

Arnold gulped and simply said: “This will settle it.”

The meaning of this wasn’t lost on Chloe. These hunters had come to terms with the difficulty of the vault before them. They would gain firsthand experience of a treasure vault that the Thousand Tricks had likely delved into with only a small handful of allies. By doing so, they would both regain their respect for the hunter and allow them to move on from their dispute with him.

Eigh abruptly furrowed his brow as a doubtful look formed on his face.

“I don’t see a carriage,” he said. “Are they really in there?”

Everyone looked around. They had an unobstructed view of the surrounding plains and couldn’t spy a single monster, to say nothing of a carriage.

“They should be there,” Arnold said. “There were no signs they were bluffing. Not that it matters any longer.”

Eigh forced a smile to his lips and laughed.

“No need to tell me. We’ll follow you wherever you go.”

The massive gates opened, almost as though to welcome Arnold. A cold breeze rushed over the hunters.

And so Crashing Lightning and Falling Fog began their endeavor.

Rhuda endured the pressure weighing down on her and desperately assessed her surroundings. Naturally, she listened closely, but she utilized all five of her senses.

Night Palace was a Level 8 treasure vault. A vault’s level was generally proportional to its accumulation of mana material. Higher reserves of mana material also meant stronger phantoms and more of them. A Level 8 would likely have many times more phantoms than in White Wolf’s Den, a vault she had recently gone through.
