Everyone immediately got into formation. The four bullies made an outer circle to protect the long-range hunters. The problem is that Noah is not a long-range hunters.
'Shit'
Noah manages to dodge past a fox with only getting scratched on his arm. Before the fox could attack it was already locked onto by one of the long-range hunters. During the battle Noah was trying his best to get away from any foxes or hunters fighting.
'Dang, so that's why people look at F+ hunters differently from the rest,' Noah thought after seeing Arrogant guy deal with majority of the foxes with some support from tanky and long-range hunters.
"Alright form formation, tanks in front, close range to the sides and the rear, mage semi close to tanks, and archers behind mage," Arrogant guy shouted before pointing at where everyone should go.
The hunter setup was like this: one F- mage, two archers (one is a F), one tanks (F lackey), and three close range attackers (one is Arrogant guy).
'He must be really impatient to want just attackers on a team. Probably going to use bandages and healing materials to heal, which drastically reduces my chances of healing.'
Luckily Noah was able to get into the formation, but in the back with the rear protector.
He couldn't find a safe time to leave without being noticed when the hunters were fighting. They set down camp and Noah collapse on the floor from exhaustion already thinking about adding points to constitution if he ever levels up.
The Hunters rested while healing up with none wanting to give Noah anything. Luckily, he was ready with his own healing items and food. Too bad he was approached while in the middle of eating.
"Such a useful porter, preparing items for us poor hunters to heal," Arrogant guy says mockingly with a smirk on his face. He then tries to grab the items before Noah quickly puts them away into the bag on his back. Becoming furious, He start beating Noah giving him a bruise on his leg. Again, no one even spare a look. Well, except for the ones looking at him angrily.
It was easy to see they were thinking along the lines of 'How dare he hoard healing items when he can't even fight.'
After a couple hits Arrogant guy became uninterested and went back totally forgetting the reason he hit Noah.
'Pieces of shit like you should just die.'
Noah calmed himself down enough to not seem angry on the outside. He then just rests knowing that if he tries to heal then he would just be bothered more. After resting they hunted a little before finding a king beast. It was easy to find since this was just a small F- portal. The beast was a giant fox with black eyes and white starlike pupils. It had white streaks of fur around it giving it a mysterious and fierce aura.
Arrogant guy and the tank approached the black star fox before Arrogant guy sprints in for a sneak attack. He hops towards the fox and slashes it on the side. Luckily, for the fox, it managed to notice the attacker and dashed forward for the attack to miss the neck. Next, it counterattacked, but Arrogant guy moved back as the tank blocked the attack with a shield. Immediately, the mage shot a lightning bolt while archers rained arrows skills at it. When the fox got stunned by the lightning, not missing the opening, Arrogant guy charged in.
'STRENGTH'
As Arrogant swung his sword up at the fox's stomach the sword was turn semi flat launching the fox into the air. Everyone immediately rained ranged skills on it.
'FIRE SLASH'
'OIL ARROW'
'COMBUSTION ARROW'
'LIGHTNING SPEAR'
As it landed it was immediately attacked by the rest.
'FORTIFY'
the tank charged in and attacked
'STRENGTH'
The warrior swung his sword down onto the creatures neck but missed by the creatures' desperate dodge.
'With an almost E rank level hunter of course this would be easy.'
On its last leg it howled. At first everyone was wary before Arrogant guy charged in beheading it. As it fell the body turned into a green light. Everyone's eyes widen and they slowly started to smile as a sword was left in front of them.
Noah as a porter picked it up just like how he picked up and carried the valuable wolf body parts that was collected before.
[Item detected....
F+ rank item detected
Do you want to manufacture and put this sword up for sell]
'I would like to try this, but there is a chance it would disappear if I said yes.'
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'IT'S A F+ WEAPON! That must mean this is a F+ portal. Since it is small, and the portal is open then that must mean...'
Noah then proceeds to look at a circle object that has a glass screen on it with a blue light bar that is fully lit. This is a device that was created to tell if the portal, that is blocked when people enter, is open. It opens when all the king beasts are dead releasing the domain under its control. If there's multiple King beast, then the portal would be lock till all are dead and the device would go up depended on how many were dead out of all of the king beast detected.
Arrogant guy was about to go up to Noah to take the weapon, and maybe beat him a bit, when a earthquake started. After almost losing balance, he realized something right when Noah shouted.
"We need to run to the portal; this is a small F+ portal and there is only one boss monsters!"
Everyone immediately realized what going on and quickly took their belongings from Noah and ran.
Noah who is behind everyone, but still is able to semi keep up by not tripping or bumping into things in his panic, turns around and immediately gains a burst of speed from fear as hundreds of black foxes' rushes towards him like a black fog of death.
