Transmigrating to Modern Earth from the Future-Chapter 107: Setting out

After accepting the quest to exterminate the hoard of D-tier Bloodline Drakes, Lumen followed Elara and her team to the designated meeting point for all adventurers who had accepted the dangerous mission. The location was a vast open field on the outskirts of Veridia, chosen for its accessibility and ample space to gather over a hundred adventurers.

As Lumen arrived with Elara and her group, he was met with the sight of a growing crowd of adventurers, each equipped with various weapons and wearing a mix of armour and protective gear. There was a palpable sense of excitement and nervousness in the air as adventurers from different walks of life gathered for this high-risk, high-reward quest.

Amidst the crowd, Lumen couldn’t help but feel small and inexperienced. He had only recently transitioned into this world of adventure, and many of those around him were seasoned veterans with battle-hardened expressions. Elara and her team were a reassuring presence by his side.

Just as the anticipation reached its peak, a formidable figure emerged at the centre of the gathering. He was a tall and imposing man, clad in gleaming armour that bore the insignia of a crossed sword and shield—a symbol that seemed to command respect from those who recognized it.

With a voice that carried authority, the man addressed the crowd, his words echoing across the open field. "Adventurers of Veridia, heed my call!" he declared, and the hushed whispers among the crowd quickly gave way to rapt attention.

The man introduced himself as Captain Alaric, leader of the Veridian Knights, and a veteran adventurer of unmatched prowess. His level was an awe-inspiring 95, near the peak of the D-tier. It was clear that he had faced countless challenges and emerged victorious from each one.

Captain Alaric’s eyes swept over the sea of adventurers, his gaze piercing through the heart of each individual. "You have all gathered here today for a mission of utmost importance—a mission that will test your mettle, your resolve, and your survival instincts. We face the Bloodline Drakes, creatures known for their cunning and deadly abilities."

He paused, allowing the weight of his words to settle upon the crowd. "Make no mistake, my fellow adventurers. Some of you may not return from this battle. The Bloodline Drakes are fierce, relentless, and they protect their hoard with a tenacity that rivals our own. But we are here because we are willing to face this danger head-on."

Captain Alaric’s voice grew even more resolute as he continued. "In this battle, you can only rely on yourselves and your team members. Cooperation and trust are paramount. We are not here for glory alone; we are here to protect our land and its people from these savage creatures."

He then outlined the mission objectives and explained that each drake killed would earn them contribution points, which would determine their rewards at the end of the quest. The more drakes they defeated, the greater their contributions and the better their rewards.

"Remember this," Captain Alaric concluded, his voice unwavering. "This is a trial by fire, and it will reveal the true nature of each adventurer here. When the battle is over, you will return to the Adventurer’s Guild, where your number of kills will be tallied. There, you will learn your rankings among your peers and the rewards that await you."

With his speech concluded, Captain Alaric stepped back, and the adventurers erupted into applause and determined shouts. Lumen could feel the camaraderie and shared sense of purpose among the crowd. They were bound by a common goal—to face the Bloodline Drakes and prove their worth as adventurers.

As the adventurers formed teams and organised themselves, Lumen couldn’t help but feel a surge of determination. He was ready to face this daunting challenge alongside Elara and her team, as well as the numerous other adventurers who had come together for this quest.

The sun began its descent toward the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the gathering. In the dying light of the day, they readied themselves for the battle that lay ahead, united by a shared purpose and the leadership of Captain Alaric, the indomitable leader of the Veridian Knights.

Two weeks had passed since Lumen had stood with Captain Alaric and the gathering of adventurers, preparing for the treacherous quest to exterminate the Bloodline Drakes. In that time, he had dedicated himself to rigorous training, honing his skills, and expanding his magical abilities.

Under the guidance of Elara and her team, Lumen had undergone a transformation. He had learned new spells, perfected his combat techniques, and grown stronger with each passing day. His experiences in the wilderness and the insights from the seasoned adventurers had contributed significantly to his growth.

The Bloodline Drake quest loomed on the horizon, and Lumen had made substantial progress in his journey as an adventurer. He had pushed his limits and had now reached level 59, a testament to his dedication and unwavering determination.

As the day of reckoning approached, Lumen gathered with Elara and her team once more. They had become a closely-knit group, each member understanding the strengths and weaknesses of their companions. Together, they had developed strategies and tactics to face the formidable Bloodline Drakes.

Lumen couldn’t help but feel a sense of camaraderie and trust among his newfound friends. They were a diverse group, each bringing their unique skills to the table. Elara’s mastery of magic, the dual-wielding swordsman’s agility, and the archer’s precision had complemented his own Mystic Warlord abilities.

The morning of the quest arrived, and Lumen could feel the familiar surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins. It was a mix of excitement and trepidation, a reminder of the dangers that awaited them. As they made their way to the meeting point, the open field where Captain Alaric had rallied the adventurers, Lumen couldn’t help but reflect on the journey that had brought him to this moment.

The gathering at the field was even more massive than before, with adventurers from all corners of Veridia, each determined to face the Bloodline Drakes. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, a palpable energy that seemed to electrify the air.

Captain Alaric stood at the forefront once more, his presence commanding respect and admiration from the gathered adventurers. His level 95 stature and experience were a beacon of hope and reassurance.

"Adventurers of Veridia," Captain Alaric’s voice boomed across the field, "the time has come. Today, we face the Bloodline Drakes—a battle that will push us to our limits and reveal our true strengths. But we are not alone. We have our companions, our teams, and the determination to see this through."

He reminded them of the mission’s objectives, the importance of cooperation, and the rewards that awaited those who excelled in the battle. The message was clear—this was a trial that would test their resolve and their ability to protect the land and its people.

As Captain Alaric concluded his speech, the adventurers erupted into cheers and shouts of determination. Lumen’s heart swelled with pride as he stood among them, ready to face the impending challenge.

The sun hung low in the sky as the adventurers assembled into teams and prepared for battle. Lumen exchanged encouraging words with Elara and her team, their camaraderie unshaken. They had trained tirelessly for this day, and their preparations would be put to the test.

The signal to advance was given, and the adventurers moved forward, the field stretching out before them like a canvas of destiny. In the distance, the lair of the Bloodline Drakes awaited, a dark and foreboding cave that seemed to breathe danger.

With each step closer to their objective, Lumen’s heart pounded in his chest. The battle against the Bloodline Drakes was about to begin, and their fates hung in the balance. But he knew he was not alone. He had his team, his comrades, and the indomitable spirit of an adventurer.

As they entered the cave, the darkness enveloped them, and the sound of approaching drakes echoed through the passages. The quest to exterminate the Bloodline Drakes had begun, and Lumen was determined to face it head-on, with his newfound strength and the bonds he had forged with his companions. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
