...Part 7: The Last Fight...
...☆ ☆ ☆...
In the Maxwell family fortress, Alan Maxwell was busy informing the Association's leaders in 5 cities as a glittering red light crossed and split a small part of the fort's walls.
Meanwhile outside the castle, Sam Maxwell who was training the young hunters in the barracks field, bounced away as the magic aura of the reddish light coming from the crystal gate crossed him.
Since the red crystal gate was no ordinary magic gate, its magic aura alone was already too terrifying.
Sam could see the effects of the magic radiation only from the many young hunters who died due to the contamination of the red gate magic energy that more worthy of being called a magic wall.
"What the fuck is this...?"
Sam looked around and found that C-rank hunters were also killed by the influence of gate magic.
Only A rank hunters alone could still slightly survive the magic radiation. While the B-rank hunter has also floundered dying even though he did not die immediately.
Sam turned again, looking at the gate he thought was a large fortress with a high and long wall he could not see where the end was.
"Brah!"
Sam turned his head towards the sound and looked at the panicked face of his father who was leading several hunters behind him.
Among them were Arthur Maxwell, the Xavier family, and 3 Cyntia guards whom Cyntia had left to look after her father.
"What's this wall, dad?" ask Sam.
"This is the Dungeon's gate."
"...What's?! But.., it's like a giant wall."
"Tia just called dad again and asked us to evacuate too. You and Brooklyn go to Marco's house. Take Marco, Vina and her husband to our secret bunker in the woods" Alan said in a trembling voice.
Alan did not wait for Sam's answer. He immediately took his brother, Arthur, to go to the garage so they could arrive at the bunker before the monsters came out of the gate.
"But... What about the workers and the inhabitants of the fort?"
Vernon who was walking behind the group turned away. He looked at Sam and shook his head before going after Alan and his entourage.
Sam turned his head and looked at the young hunters who had been training with him and were now lifeless.
"Dam. All the hunters who were below B rank alone were instantly killed. Especially the family workers," muttered Sam lamenting the situation.
Sam then goes to the dying B-rank hunters to help them get to the trucks and buses owned by the Maxwell family.
Together with Brooklyn, the two manage to save dozens of the hunters and take them all away from the Maxwell family fortress.
"Tian Sam, let us take them. You and Brook go pick up Uncle Marco" said one of Sam's subordinates, an A-rank hunter.
"alright. Please take them all to our bunkers safely."

"The aura of magic is very terrible," said Alvin quietly.
"Hopefully there are no low-ranking civilians and hunters who happen to be in the path of the gate" Cyntia said expectantly, although he knew that his family's territory was on the left side through the giant gate.
Alvin turned to the left, then made a friendship map after finding out if the gate was passing towards the Maxwell family fortress.
'A lot of people died.'
["There is a difference in slope between this gate and the gate that appeared in my previous life. It used to be that the gate didn't cross the Maxwell family's territory."]
'Did the Maxwell family live so long in your day?'
["They lasted a long time. Your woman leads the family very well."]
Alvin nodded slowly as he slightly glanced at Cyntia who was also watching the direction of the gate.
"It flew a little across the Maxwell family's territory" Alvin said.
Cyntia nodded slowly, then looked up as she sensed a huge magic energy that had just come out from the red crystal gate.
......................
The red-scaled giant snake that had four wings had just crossed from their planet to Earth.
But, what was happening on the ground was also happening in the air that was distorted by magic energy.
The pressure from the presence of hundreds of giant snakes makes Cyntia who can fly just because Alvin helped her do that to him, swayed and fro.
Knowing that the circumstances in their place were still unfavorable, Alvin took Cyntia back even further from the gate and they finally arrived at a place that had suffered much smaller shocks, located within 1 kilometer from the gate.
"It looks like the safe point is around 2 to 3 kilometers" said Alvin.
Cyntia nodded slowly and then took her phone again to tell Alan Maxwell the information so that they immediately left S City to hide in the Maxwell family's secret bunker.
.........
Sensing another power that had just sprung up, Alvin opened the friendship map and saw a huge red dot that had just sprung from the gate, lined up along the giant gate.
'There's a lot.'
["There will no longer be a safe place on Earth for hunters."]
'It must be like that. Which energy they had instead made them discoverable to these monsters, right?'
["Yes. It is precisely the civilians who do not go into hiding with more advantaged hunters."]
Alvin wants to call his army to start a war. However, Rimi quickly stopped him.
'Yes?'
Alvin smiled faintly.
'Alright. Let's see what you're capable of, Rimi.'
Alvin opened the inventory window and pulled out the avatar hunter from there.
Alvin was about to touch the chest of the avatar, but immediately pulled his hand again.
'Can't it be anywhere else?'
["You embarrassed? It's just a statue."]
Turning his face away, Alvin placed his hand against the chest of the avatar. He maintained his gaze in the other direction when he felt that Cyntia was watching him from the side.
Shortly after, the statue suddenly moved. His movements were very flexible, as if the statue was a human, when Rimi had used it as a container of the Intelligence System.
As Rimi moves on, Alvin loses some of his strength.
["All the functions that Rimi manages have now disappeared from you."]
Alvin nodded slowly.
'It doesn't matter as long as I still have the airbender and ghost skill.'
["The two skills just happened to not belong to Rimi so you still have them."]
......................
Once Rimi was already inside the avatar, he instantly opened the portal of the insect army and took out all the insects from there.
To his surprise, Rimi has her own combat costume for 500 insect soldiers.
The same robot costumes that Alvin often gives them, make the insect army look like a robot insect just as cool as when Alvin became their master.
'Where did Rimi get the energy to make his costume?'
["From the core Mana avatar Rimi belonged to first. Also from the core of Mana, Kevin, Bimo and Gina that I brought from the future."]
'Just 'Simply. They're pretty strong...'
Before long, an army of red-skinned monsters flying with black wings resembling bat wings had already appeared before them.
