My Guardian System: The Trader

Chapter 39 - A Wormwhole



A week later after the disappearance of the Uno Labyrinth, in the Frontline, inside the 3-star chief office, 3-star Chief Dix Marcel was busily working in front of his desk when the door suddenly pushed open.

He paused his work and looked at the person who came inside. 

"Sir, here is the partial report from the team we sent to assist the researchers." His subordinate came inside and handed him an envelope.

With squinted eyes, the chief nodded and took the envelope. Then he took and read the document inside. 

Stated in the report was the summary of their activities.

It stated that the group decided to make a temporary encampment near the vanished entrance to study further the reason for its disappearance, or any unusual phenomena. 

Aside from that, there was also the report about their search around the area for any unusual changes and the expected increase in the number of hostile creatures around.

Stated in the report that aside from the disappearance of the labyrinth, nothing unusual could be found by his men.

Although they encountered some high-ranking beasts while in the search, the volume of hostile creatures in the area was still the same as it was initially. It also meant that there was no sudden increase in their number.

After reading it, there was a noticeable frown on the chief's face.

"What the hell was happening out there?" He mumbled. His voice indicates great surprise and puzzlement.

He even sent many elites just in case. Because, once a labyrinth disappeared, there would be a sudden increase in the volume of monsters or beasts in the area where the labyrinth was sitting previously. It was a natural phenomenon whenever a dungeon or labyrinth disappeared. As though the monsters in the dungeon would be freed once the dungeon disappeared.

It also happened when the legendary figure beat the first ever labyrinth. It even causes a great disaster to the nearby town because of the sudden rise of the monster's number. And every time a dungeon was cleared, there would be monsters and beasts left behind at where the vanished dungeon was initially. Like a farewell gift.

"Yet, this time, no increase in their numbers?" The chief muttered doubtfully. "Well, it's good too, but. Any unusual happenings were frightening."

Hah~!

The chief let out a sigh after putting back the letter inside the envelope. After putting it down on his desk, he looked at his subordinate, who was tight-lipped waiting for his next order, in front of him.

"Tell them to continue monitoring the area. We can't be at ease until the leading person in the researcher's team declares it's clear." 

"Yes, sir!"

Chief Dix Marcel massaged his temple and sighed once again after his subordinate left the room. This unusual phenomenon always made him anxious.

Creak!

"!?"

The chief was quite startled when the door was suddenly opened once again.

"Sir!"

A young man wearing the army uniform saluted after entering. Looking at his figure, it was apparent that he was a recruit. A newbie.

Seeing the new face in his department, "State your business?" He said in an annoyed tone.

The newbie stiffened upon hearing his superior's cold voice and unfriendly countenance.

"Uh-eh, w-we detected a signal about the appearance of a dungeon in the eastern part of the Seaside City near the train station, c-chief!" The newbie reported stutteringly.

With twitching brows, "I see." The chief said dismissively. Then he returned his focus on the pile of documents on his desk.

"....."

The newbie just stood out there like a statue. For some reason, after giving his report, the chief did not spare him another glance. Three minutes had already passed since then.

A moment later, the chief finally noticed his presence. He slowly looked at the young face, standing right in front of his desk.

"What... are you doing?" The chief asked in a cold voice, lack of gentleness.

The newbie blinked his eyes several times as he could not understand what was happening.

"??"

"Eh? Is that all? A-Aren't we going to send some of our men, c-chief?" He managed to summon his courage and was able to ask an obvious question. His heart was unusually loud at this very moment.

He saw the chief massage his temple and made a very deep sigh that for some reason sent shivers down his spine.

"Goddammit, get out if you're done with your report!" The chief yelled.

At those words, the newbie felt like his whole body shrunk. Like he was facing a titan at this very moment.

"B-but..." he was about to say something again but the chief already said something.

"Listen. The federation is not part of our jurisdiction. Our main assignment is to monitor the Desolate Region in front of us and stop the alien race in the Eastern Region from invading our country, the federation. We can't do anything inside the country. We can only send our assistance once the local lords or the parliament officials request it from us. Without it, we can't interfere with anything happening inside the country. And your assignment in the Radar Station is to monitor any unusual happening inside or outside our jurisdiction. Then report to me when you detect something. In case a request comes to us, we can send our men right away without wasting more time!"

Chief Dix Marcel explained to the ignorant newbie the main task of the military. The newbie was stunned with an embarrassed face.

"S-sorry chief!" 

"Now, if you finally understood. Then go back to your work right away!" He bellowed.

"Ye-yes, sir!" The newbie bolted out of the office.

Chief Dix Marcel shook his head and heaved a deep sigh once again before falling back to his seat.

"Dammit those superiors in the Radar Station, they're not teaching their newbies pretty well," he mumbled annoyingly.

In the eastern part of the Seaside City of Stella Federation, near the train station, a wormhole suddenly appeared in mid-air. And it was gradually descending.

The citizens who happened to be around were all in a panic at the sight of it. 

After all, it turned into a dungeon after descending on the ground. Then, different kinds of monsters from inside will rush outside and attack the citizens in the site.

That's why everyone in the area was shouting for help while some were freezing on their quivering feet. 

"Run! Fast!"

"Find shelter and hide!"

"Help! Call for help!"

Random shouts immediately envelop the area upon seeing the floating wormhole that was slowly descending to the ground. Their time limit is once it touches the ground.

Everyone was in a panic as they rushed everywhere, escaping away from the place. In just a few minutes, the bursting place of the train station a while ago was now deserted.

Somewhere in the area, some people were groaning in pain while wriggling on the ground. They were the unintended victims of stampedes.

A little girl was crying while shouting, "Mama! Papa!"

On the opposite street, an old man was crawling for his life.

However, right at this moment, the wormhole already touched the ground.

Then, an eerie howl that could tremble a person's flesh could be heard, coming from the entrance.

Then a dark green scaly foot with razor-sharp claws stepped out from the void.

Those who were left behind widened their eyes as their intuition was screaming for danger.

GRRRR!!!
