Three days quickly passed in the blink of an eye as time continues to move forward like a pendulum clock swinging in perpetual motion.

In the City of Silvercove, the top five families secretly competed against each other—both in the open and in the dark while also defending their positions from the surrounding wolves.

Many Hunters from surrounding cities flocked to the Silvercove City, seeking to hunt interdimensional creatures from the unregistered Dimensional Rift and opportunities to compete for a piece of land to settle down in the city.

Outbreaks of interdimensional creatures are always the strongest during the opening of Dimensional Rifts before they steadily calm down to a fixed flow rate within the following few days of the rifts' appearance.

The danger levels of these Dimensional Rifts are accessed—based on these fixed flow rates of interdimensional creatures pouring out of them.

As such, no one truly knows how dangerous Dimensional Rifts are during their first opening.

Despite this, similar situations to Silvercove City occurred all around the whole world within every city closest to the locations of these new Dimensional Rifts, which screams nothing but opportunity and danger.

These cities, or rather all cities situated within 50km of Dimensional Rifts, are typically called Core Cities. They receive all the focus and resources for development from the world government, transforming them into Tier 1 Cities without exception.

As such, with enough luck and opportunities, even people of common birth living in such cities can transform into notable figures, respected by many. And this is not speaking relatively for any Hunters, but all people.

As long as one gets acquainted with the right person or mix in with the right group, they could also rise up like a fish leaping over Dragon's Gate, leaving their mundane and feeble lifestyle behind.

A wise sage once said; when a person achieves the way, even their dogs and cats will ascend.

But while the whole world had its attention turned to these new Dimensional Rifts brought by the Apocalypse's Second Wave, the hunting of interdimensional creatures at pre-existing Dimensional Rifts never ends.



In the deep regions of the Glacia Continent, at the location of Dimensional Rift GC-06, where the white land of ice and snow is frequented by regular snowstorms, a 27-year old female Hunter led her team of 6 Hunters to kill interdimensional creatures among many other teams of Hunters.

Team Netherfrost was their name.

They are one of the top hunter teams, comprising 3 female Hunters and 3 male Hunters, and all found within the top 300 of the A-rank list.

In other words, Team Netherfrost was a team of A-rankers.

And at its core was the 27-year female Hunter, Xue Xinya, also known as the Snow Princess, for her tyrannical special ability over ice.

Cling! Clang!

The noise of heavy clashing metal rang through the enormous battlefield.

Hundreds of Hunters battled interdimensional creatures on the land of ice and snow—where their presence and the large Dimensional Rift hovering above the ground in the center were the only things painting the white land in black.

"Xue Xinya, we are pushing too deeply into the enemy's lines! I know Dimensional Rift GC-06 is only a B-level threat rift, but we should still exercise caution and retreat a bit!" spoke Anika Fischer, the Lv.46 sword user of Team NetherFrost.

"Right! There's no telling whether the Second Wave will bring any unexpected changes to the pre-existing Dimensional Rifts."

"I know we have been dropping in rankings, but there's no need to increase the risk for a little bit of extra EXP," the other female Hunter in the team, Lucy Walker, chimed.

She was also a Lv.46 Hunter.

However, her specialty lies in supporting the team with her healing ability and exceptional marksmanship with her crossbow-looking black gun called the Morningstar.

"It's because of our team's conservative nature that we have been falling in the rankings. If we continue like this, it won't be long before we fall into the top 400's ranking," Xue Xinya said while swinging her sword and shooting out ice waves.

[You have killed Lv.13 Snow Fox. 130 EXP gained]

[You have killed Lv.16 Blizzard Golem. 160 EXP gained]

[You have killed Lv.7 Winter Worm. 70 EXP gained]

[You have killed Lv.9 Snow Rabbitkin. 90 EXP gained]



Notifications rang in her mind as her attacks bisected interdimensional creatures before she added, "Look at the other teams present. If we compare all the teams, we are only considered in the middle range in terms of depth."

"Common-class interdimensional creatures don't give much while the Elite-class interdimensional creatures spawning are being monopolized by the other A-rank teams hunting closer to the rift! Do you really want to continue like this?" Xue Xinya asked her team.

"Xinya is right! Let me take the lead!" spoke the Lv.46 spear user in the team, who was a 32-year-old male going by the name of Nakamura Tenshin.

Swoosh~!

Shortly after speaking, Nakamura Tenshin broke away from the team with a forward leap, immediately skewering three interdimensional creatures with his quick spear thrusts before tossing them aside.

[180 EXP gained]

[110 EXP gained]

[140 EXP gained]

Seeing Nakamura Tenshin quickly pulling too far ahead of the team, Xue Xinya immediately frowned before shouting, "Oi, Tenshin! Don't rush too far ahead and break the team's formation!"

"Don't worry, I got this!"

Rumble!

However, the entire ice land in the region suddenly shook, causing every Hunter in the area to pause their hunting abruptly.

"What the heck was that? Felt like some sort of powerful earth pulse," Klaus Rohmer, a Lv.46 sword and shield user, queried with a foreboding feeling.

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this. Oi, Tenshin! Quickly come back for—"

Rumble!

The region shook again with another seismic pulse, causing cracks to form on the surface of the ice—which in turn, cause several Hunters to become alarmed.

"Something big is about to happen!" a Hunter exclaimed.

Shortly after, the spherical-shaped Dimensional Rift in the central region started to become unstable, becoming the first-ever Dimensional Rift to deform like it is being squeezed.

"Everyone, quickly pull back!"

The Hunters quickly started retreating at the first sign of bad omen, pulling away from the Dimensional Rift when it suddenly expanded like a powerful pulse!

Boom!

Web-likes cracks spread across the entire region in an instance as every Hunter and interdimensional creature alike were suddenly knocked over by a seismic shockwave!
