Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Beginning of the END 2

Saturday, 26 June 3126

The are two ways to rob a dungeon the first is a classic, you join a party then your party raids the dungeon always remember to never use your full strength when raiding, then when your party has beat the boss you kill everyone, keyword is "everyone". Survivors are always unwanted trouble, this method is a pain to do so Vice doesn't use it often.

The second is used by stealth specialist, you enter a dungeon that has guests or is going to have guests, you watch them fight with their lives on the line then when everything is done you go to where the treasure room is and take everything in that room then leave with no lives lost/taken it's a victimless crime, but what if the is no treasure room? easy solution, kill the hunters and take what ever they have. Its their fault for raiding a dungeon that has no treasure.

Now why is this information important, The Association plan is similar to the second method the first step is that everyone will fight the boss monster while Vice and his former crew go for treasures room and take everything.

Then they use teleportation scroll's to excape, they only have a time period of 15 minutes in that treasure room because that how long 2 SS-Rank hunters and 3 S-Rank hunters can hold their own against SSS-Rank boss monster and that's only if thing's go right.

Vice was currently in a taxi on his way to the dungeon, passing few beautiful skyscrapers that always amazed him.

After a while the taxi arrived at the dungeon gate. The place was surrounded by journalists and the people were hopeful that they'll see an SSS-Rank dungeon get cleared.

Vice wore a hoodie and a black musk he stepped through the crowd, to show a card to one of the guards surrounding the portal, doing crowd control.

"Yeah, it's valid." Said the guard as he stepped to the side, "you can go in."

"Thanks," Vice replied and walked toward a group of people who were standing in front of the portal that had a red colour to it and the size equal to a three story building..

"Who are you?" A man asked looking at Vice, and Vice recognised Leo because he had seen him multiple times on news(Leo is a SS-Rank hunter)

"I'm the porter you been waiting for," Vice responded.

A slight frown appeared on Lea clearly displeased with the reply but Leo didn't push any further knowing that anyone below S-Rank had no idea that they would be working with criminals, having received the massage, Leo walked away to tell the leader about Vice's arrival.

"Hey, where's Elon?" Vice muscles tightened hearing a familiar voice.

'Should I kill him now?' He though as he looked back at Nate and the rest of the crew. 

"I sent him to meet Lunia" Vice replied with a smirk that served as their warning. 

Nate smiled as he received the massage and some frowned at his words.

"I guess you found out, I was going to talk you and make you understand." Nate said.

"What is there to understand?" Vice's voice deepened taking a step closer, the tension between Vice and his crew was becoming visible to the other's, that were moving away from them.

"Don't put the blame on us, you forced us into this position." Nate replied.

"Why did you sell me out to the Association?" Vice asked, wanting some form of justification for their betrayal. 

"We're tired, we can't live the rest of our live's as criminals. We want to live normal live's without having to worry about enforcers coming for our lives and all we had to do is tell them about you." Nate's slime widened as took a step closer, "as a good friend you should be happy for us."

"Your excuse is that you wanted to be an everyday losers at my expense." He stepped closer to Nate.

"Yeah, that sound accurate." Nate said, "but you understand, my wife is pregnant. She can't live they way we do."

"ohh..I see, Is this because is fucked your wife." Nate's face turned red as vains pulsed along his face and the mana in the shifted around him.

"Don't cross that line." Nate said as sparks of blue light appeared on around him, pulsing through the air as electricity. His hands twitched forming a transparent circle at his finger tips.

"Then what line am I suppossed to cross?" as he asked, Nate raised his left hand.

[Lightning fury] a spell had been cast and a fury of lightning appeared on Nate's hand aiming for Vice.

[Shadow hop] Vice vanished as the lighting hit where he once stood.

He hopped out of Nate's shadow and as his dagger inched closer to piercing through Nate's neck, his bones threatened to snap under the monstrous pressure that hung in the air.

"ENOUGH" Livby said, stepping forward as the leader and an SS-Rank awakene.

"Tsk." Vice pulled his dagger away, he wasn't going to test an SS-Rank.

The pressure vanished as Livby smiled, "lets enter the dungeon".

'I kill him in the dungeon,' Vice thought glancing back at Nate as he walked to the portal.

Everyone entered the portal, the only people who remained were Vice former crew members.

"No matter what happens in the dungeon kill Vice, the Association can't be trusted with this" Nate said.
