My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy-Chapter 456: A humongous problem!

While the Fang hunters were out conquering planets and trying to take down the werewolves' planet, they were unaware of the doom that was about to befall the human race.

"Hey! Gray right?" A feminine voice called out as she stopped a man who looked to be in his twenties and he had fiery golden hair with his eyes gleaming green and he had a tattoo of a phoenix on his arm while wearing a long golden robe over his clothes that looked like a cape of some sorts.

"Yes? And you are that famous female news reporter." Gray said as he turned around to glance at Erin who smiled at him. "And this is the first time you aren't moving with your cameras and drones."

"That's because there's nothing to report on." Erin smiled back as they began taking a stroll together.

The two of them were at the Fang hunters' main base; Aurora Academy. Gray had come here during the time Rex, Bane and Humfree fought against the Beta werewolf.

Ever since then, he hadn't left the place at all. Since all the core members were out, Head General Humfree was still restrained to his bed after the severe injuries he suffered, Gray decided to stay back so he could control the guild till when someone important got back.

While he let his own core members take control of the phoenix guild till he got back. Meanwhile, Erin came here along with Druig because she had a feeling that something big was going to happen soon.

And since the Fang hunters were usually the center of attention, she decided to come to their main base just in case something big did really happen.

"How do you feel ever since that day of the duel after you lost to Jake? What made you submit to him instead of growing your own strength?" Erin asked as they continued walking around while occasionally greeting some people that walked past them.

"The same reason I had to submit and surrender to him is the same reason Head General Humfree left the academy in Jake's hands despite being the one who created and groomed it to this stage." Gray replied with a small smile.

"I don't understand." Erin said with a raised eyebrow.

"I saw something in him. Something that can only be seen in the rarest of people nowadays. Strength, determination, bravery and resolve. We have all seen him do strange and miraculous things that were thought impossible.

He was the first person to kill a Beta werewolf in the whole world at such a young age. And honestly, I feel like without him here, humanity might just lose this war."

"Which breeds the question, where is he?" Erin asked.

"Out conquering planets and from the reports I heard, they are done. But they are headed for another mission. A dangerous mission at that." Gray replied with a shrug.

"What kind of mission?" Erin asked.

"No idea." Gray shrugged again with a small grin.

'I wonder what kind of mission Gray is talking about. I hope to see Jake soon, and I just hope this damned war gets over soon.' Erin sighed inwardly.

"What are those?" Erin asked as she quickly pointed to some tall robots patrolling around the walls of the academy.

"Those are mechs. They are created by Jade and are piloted by humans in it. Specially designed for those weak enough that they can't fight even omega werewolves." Gray replied.

"That's so cool!" Erin exclaimed with a little jump. "I wonder where Druig ran off to. I would have started a recording now which will be shown to the people later."

"Yeah. The recording can be d…" Gray trailed off as his watch began blinking rapidly with red lights.

"What's wrong?" Erin asked with a worried expression on her face.

"Crap! This is bad." Gray said and without warning, he dashed away from Erin towards the main base of the Fang hunters.

"I wonder what is wrong with him. Did something happen or is something about to happen?" Erin mumbled, her heart thumping loudly as she dashed off to look for her camera man.

"Head General Humfree!" Gray shouted as he burst through Humfree's resting room.

The room was dimly lit, with golden sunlight filtering through heavy drapes that barely swayed from the faint breeze outside.

The scent of old wood and medicinal herbs lingered in the air, mingling with the faint coppery tang of dried blood.

A single oil lamp on the bedside table cast flickering shadows across the walls, where faded portraits and old weapons hung like relics of a bygone era.

Humfree lay in a broad, sturdy bed carved from dark oak, its posts worn smooth by time.

Crisp, white linens were stained with patches of crimson, and fresh bandages wrapped around one of his shoulders which was missing an arm—signs of the brutal skirmish he'd barely survived.

His breathing was slow but labored, every rise and fall of his chest betraying the pain simmering beneath the surface.

Beside the bed, a cane leaned against a battered armchair, its cushions frayed from years of use.

A small table nearby held a basin of cool water, bloodied cloths, and an untouched bowl of broth, long gone cold.

The fireplace at the far end of the room crackled softly, its warmth chasing away the chill creeping in through the stone walls.

Despite the silence, the room pulsed with unspoken memories—of battles fought, comrades lost, and victories that now felt too distant to celebrate.

Humfree's sword rested on a mantle above the fire, its edge dulled and its hilt wrapped in faded leather, as if waiting for the day its master might rise again.

"Gray?!" Humfree muttered as he slowly sat upright on his bed to see Gray bolt forward, his face drenched with sweat. "What's wrong? Any problem?"

"Head General… not to bother you or anything, but there's a literal humongous problem heading our way." Gray said while swallowing a huge lump of saliva.

"Humongous problem? What kind of problem can't you handle?" Humfree asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Remember when Bane sent us a message that the werewolves are heading to Earth with their Alpha?" Gray asked, his heart thumping loudly.

"Yes… and he also said that it might take a few days or a day in the worst case scenario. Although it has been two days now though. What happened?" Humfree asked.

"Well, the werewolves are on Earth now and they are currently heading for here. They are heading towards us for one reason or the other." Gray quickly said.

"Wait, what?!" Humfree shouted out in shock.
