'What the heck is happening?' The Secondary System was pleasantly surprised at the changes Ying was experiencing in such a desperate situation. The skeleton army was gradually approaching the closest shelter without anyone to hinder their path.

Some Hunters tried to stop them but were quickly overwhelmed. They decided to run away following that due to the impossible situation at hand.

As a result, it was made apparent that the city would be destroyed sooner than later. It had only been a few minutes since the warnings went off. So, only those in the immediate vicinity of the Dungeon Break had managed to vacate.

The majority of the city was still in the process of evacuation. There were traffic jams all around, people screaming and dashing about in every which way; social order collapsed. This chaos further reduced evacuation efficiency to an all-time minimum.

Worst of all, there were people in the city that couldn't evacuate, some of which were patients on life support. Ying's sister, Meyn too was in a similar situation. Even though she was only in a comatose state at the moment, her situation was pretty fragile.

If she were to experience any shock from sudden movements, her situation would deteriorate further, leading to her death. That was the state the Secondary System had put her in. This was to further Ying's sense of responsibility.

And indeed, that sense of responsibility was paying fat dividends now. No matter what, Ying had no other choice but to stop the monster wave.

Evacuating his sister was too risky. After all, even if he manages to bring her to another city, all that would do is buy a day's worth of time before the skeleton monsters march there.

Flying out of the country wasn't possible either, as the moment this situation happened, the neighbouring countries pretty much banned all immigration, afraid of a crisis in their economy that would erupt with a large influx of immigrants who lost all modes of survival.

Besides, constantly being on the run would weaken Meyn further. And based on what he was told by the doctors, Meyn would die within two days without life support. So, he had to put an end to the monster wave before they reached the hospital Meyn was staying at.

Boom!

Skill—Orc-Dragon Skin!

Ying defended against the attacks of the two A-Rank Hunter skeletons as he attacked them in response, sending them flying as he hurriedly flew away from the place and landed beside a staff that was on a building two hundred metres away, "Hah…haah."

"Request all Hunters in the city to arrive here." Ying looked at the staff, "Hurry!"

"W-What are you talking about?" The staff was unable to piece things together, staring at him in a fluster.

"Look at the crack!" Ying shouted as he pointed at the head of the Bone Dragon, "The Bone Dragon is too big to pass through the crack. So, it's trying to weasel its way out. As long as we manage to send it within the crack, it would be unable to come out. The crack will heal immediately."

He thumped his chest, "I can do it!"

"So, I need the remaining Hunters to fend off the monsters until then. As long as we do this, protecting this city is possible. Otherwise, our country will collapse once the remaining Dungeons in this city collapse due to the Lich." He shouted in a hurry.

"Here, broadcast it!" Saying so, he placed his smartphone in her hands. In it was a video clip of his attack on the Bone Dragon and his speech toward the Hunter Association Staff. Obviously, he had planned and recorded everything, "Try to bring as many Hunters as possible. Telecast my fight live."

By the end, he was almost shouting, his voice loud enough for the remaining staff to hear too. Following that, he used Orc-Dragon Soar to fly towards the crack as the A-Rank Hunter skeletons intercepted him once again.

"Quick! You heard him. Let's do our work." An experienced staff nearby arrived and grabbed hold of the smartphone as he quickly tapped a few buttons before sending the clip to the Hunter Association, "As long as we show a bit of hope, the fleeing Hunters would return."

Boom!

Intense mana waves erupted from Ying, resulting in fierce winds that almost sent the staff flying. The experienced staff grunted as he held through and shared the footage with the Hunter Association. It seemed he had enough influence as within a matter of seconds…

[All Hunters, we request your presence at the Dungeon Break of the A-Rank Dungeon, A Lich's Laboratory. In this disastrous situation, a thread of hope exists. Prevent the Bone Dragon from exiting the crack and our country would survive.]

It didn't just end at that as immediately, once the problem and solution were declared, rewards were also announced to entice the Hunters.

[Hunters that participate in this Raid would be paid their monthly earnings as pension. This is apart from what you earn in Dungeons in the future. Moreover, you'll be declared Heroes and given access to all government institutions free of cost. In the likelihood of martyr, your families would be treated as first-class citizens with privileges of the upper class of our country. Participating in this Raid would net you lifelong governmental support, for you, and your family.]

"Dad…where are you going?" A teenager asked as she looked at her dad getting up from his seat in the shelter.

"To fight, what else?" The middle-aged man, a veteran B-Rank Hunter said in all seriousness, thinking as he stared at her, 'Even if I die, she'll live a comfortable life. With governmental support, her mother's disease could also be treated.'

"Don't worry, your dad would return safely." He smiled and patted her head before shouting, "All Hunters! You heard the brass! If the Bone Dragon emerges, our country is doomed. So, instead of losing our lives helplessly, let's fight!"

"For our families!"

"That uncle should shut his trash." A youth snorted in disdain as he carried a large axe and began to walk towards the shelter's exit.

"Where are you going?" His friend shouted in a fluster.

"Living in hiding is not my style." The youth said as his eyes glinted in arrogance, his words echoing out as he imbued mana in it, "If even a B-Rank Hunter is being brave, my pride would be hurt to stay behind."

"Hey, isn't that?"

"The genius rookie…" The Hunters in the area whispered in response before they followed the super rookie, a genius A-Rank Hunter and marched towards the Dungeon Break.
