The Hunter System
Chapter 180 - The Gate of the Ring
["He was retrieving and studying the data of the fighting techniques he once had."]
'so... Alright.'
"Miyu gave this to Rin" Anna said after learning the communication through the mind between Alvin and Mina had ended.
"Rin?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"I understand" said Alvin, nodding lightly. "Can I keep it?"
"Of course."
Alvin opens the inventory and moves the avatar hunter into it.
"All is done. Now we're just waiting for the arrival of Beelzebub and..."
Anna tells Alvin and Cyntia what they must do to save the Earth from destruction.
After Anna explained all the plans that the goddess Ann had put together and entrusted them to carry them out, Anna made a gate for Alvin and Cyntia that would directly connect them to the City of S.
...****************...
Upon his return to S City, Alvin and Cyntia did not return to their respective homes.
The two went to a location near the border between City S and City T, where the coordinates of Beelzebub's place of appearance Anna had told them.
After 2 minutes of air travel, Alvin and Cyntia finally arrived at a vast meadow near the cattle village of a company from S City.
.........
"Luckily, all the residents are still in the refugee camp" Alvin said, noting the grasslands were withered by the magical energy contaminated from his fight with Miyuki.
"Are we not supposed to tell Uncle Alan too? It would be best if Alan's uncle could spread that information to the Association's chairmen in 5 cities," Cyntia gave advice.
"It's better that way."
After getting Alvin's approval, Cyntia contacts Alan Maxwell and tells him everything about what will happen in City S as well as the actions they must both take to prevent it.
Alan Maxwell was certainly shocked after getting information from Cyntia. He was eager to help but knew that a hunter of his level would only be a burden to Alvin and Cyntia.
The middle-aged man agreed to do what Cyntia asked him to do, and he immediately contacted the heads of the Association in 5 cities to keep his citizens around the bunker.
......................
"I hope life will return to normal once it's all done" Alvin said after Cyntia sat nearby on a large tree trunk on the edge of a meadow.
"I was also curious about life before the Dungeon gates. People would definitely not worry and could sleep quietly without worrying about any more Dungeon gates that could have appeared in their courtyard."
Alvin nodded slowly.
"But... We might be idle if the gates disappeared from Earth."
Cyntia laughing.
"What job would you like to do if you're not a hunter anymore?" ask Cyntia
Alvin remained silent for a long time, thinking about what he wanted to do if the Dungeon gate was no longer there.
But, the longer he thought about it, the more desire came to his mind that he had to choose one of the many choices now present in his mind.
Alvin had only aspired from the beginning to become stronger to have a better life and he had already achieved both goals.
All this time, he had never thought of any way of life other than being a hunter.
"I'll probably be the property boss" Alvin said as he recalled the vacant lot in the city centre he had just cleared with Miyuki. He was sure if he could buy the land considering his enormous savings. "You yourself, what kind of job would you like to do if you're not already a hunter?"
"I want to go around the world" Cyntia said quickly. He had been thinking about it for a long time.
Alvin nodded slowly.
"What if you come with me?" cyntia said again.
Alvin laughs.
"of course. Didn't I promise to be your personal bodyguard?"
Cyntia hurriedly turned her face away after getting that answer.
Alvin also did the same when he realized his sentence was similar to an indirect proposal.
A few seconds later, Cyntia finally turned away again and looked at Alvin who was expressionless awkwardly.
"I hope you keep your promise" said Cyntia, who blushed after saying so.
They were silent for quite a long time and dissolved into each other's imagination afterwards.
rimi said suddenly.
'S-welcome Rimi.'
["God! You're bothering them, Rimi!"]
["They are in a very good mood."]
'No... It's okay, Rimi.'
["What a pity. I'm missing an interesting spectacle."]
'You're crazy.'
["You're the one who's crazy. How can your heart beat so hard just because it wants to hold a woman's hand?"]
'You...'
["I can clearly hear the intention in your mind."]
'...Can you pretend you don't know?'
Mina laughs.
["Are you as shy as that...??"]
Alvin and Mina finished the conversation as they simultaneously felt a magic aura that had suddenly appeared in the middle of the vast grassland before him.
Cyntia who noticed it a little late also stared in the exact same direction where Alvin's eyes were fixed.
"Is that him?" ask Cyntia.
"Let's hope so. The sooner we get our job done, the better."
......................
From where the magic energy came from, a red dot appeared there.
The red dot grew larger and larger shortly thereafter, forming a sparkling red gate.
Alvin and Cyntia immediately ran up to the magic gate that appeared to replace the reddish point and intended to enter the gate before the monsters of its inhabitants crossed to Earth ahead of them.
But, the moment they arrived before the gate, the two realized that they could not cross in because the gate was already in the form of solid crystals from the beginning.
Alvin raised his hand about to point his fist at the gate to destroy it, but he immediately abandoned his intention when he realized that the gate was deeply embedded in the ground.
Alvin squatted down, watching the base of the gate with worry.
'What depth does this crystal gate stick to Earth?'
["Up to the Earth's core."]
'Will the Earth be divided if I destroy this gate?'
["Of course. Don't do that."]
'It is only fitting that Anna also did not destroy the gate that was in Tianjin.'
"Alvin!" suddenly cry Cyntia.
Alvin looked up and saw that the gate continued to expand very quickly. He could barely even see the end of the high gate that quickly rose into the blue sky.
Alvin grabs Cyntia's wrist and takes her backwards away from the front of the gate.
.........
Because there was nothing they could do to the gate other than wait for the monsters to come out of it, both of them can only follow the development of the gate that is getting wider and higher until finally they can not see the end of the gate again either up or to the side.
["This is the gate I told you about."]
'Ring shaped gates?'
["Yes. The giant gate that forms a ring-like ring on the planet Saturn."]
