I Become Master of Danger Zones as Incubus With Mastery In Genetic-Chapter 778 - 198

Duke Phorus looked at the Hexun Cavern once more. His blue eyes seem to burn as he thought of what horrid tortures he will inflict upon the Witches.

It seem he had been rather kind, allowing the Witches in his domain to grow wild, thinking they can do something to harm him.

Well, he will make them regret ever launching their rebellion. Despite the Witches likely growing stronger in the Hexun Cavern, Duke Phorus was not worried.

He had been an A-rank longer than the Witches, if any of them reached the peak for the regular, talented personal.

Besides, he also get reinforcement from Ravus Kingdom, adding to the number of A-ranker from 4, to 14.

With such number, Duke Phorus did not think the Witches could do anything to the group, aside from killing some of the weaker members and injuring the A-rankers.

"General, are the men ready?" he asked the general. The younger man nodded.

"We can start the expedition anytime now, Lord Duke."

Duke Phorus replied with a nod of his own, before turning his attention back to the pitch-black cavern.

His fists clenched, his eyes smoldering before turning back. It is not a good idea to enter a dangerous place like a Danger Zone without sufficient preparation of his own.

Duke Phorus turned around, nodding at the sight of his elites and elites of Ravus Kingdom. Considering the tight space of the cavern, sending a large group would be troublesome, causing hindrance for the stronger combatants.

To prevent such thing from happening, only the elites would dive into the deep cavern, along with some supply carriers in preparation for longer stay in the cavern.

His elites, Guardian of Hex, are ready. Consisting of 20 members, all of them are B-rankers, the two exception being the leader and vice-leader, both A-rankers.

The Guardian of Hex wear a simple armor. Because they will enter a cave, the best armor in that environment would be a slightly stronger one, yet light enough to not be a hindrance in a fight in tight spaces.

So, they wore simple metal armor, with a lot of clothing in between as extra protection. The only part of their bodies covered with metal were their chest, neck, and arms, in the form of gauntlets for the last one. The ability to block an attack without worrying of the potential of fingers being severed is a boon in that kind of environment.

The Duke wore the same get up, except, his was an enchanted armor, giving better protection than what the Guardian of Hex had, while blocking Magic more effectively.

Of course, the Guardian of Hex also prepared for Spells being thrown at their direction. They are not amateur after all. However, they did not have enough funds to afford a full-on enchanted armor like the Duke could.

Instead, they wore a special accessory in the form of a necklace. One that create a simple anti-Magic barrier, weakening Spells thrown at their direction. Not the best in defending against any Spells, even a simple one, but any form of protection is better than none.

Besides the Duke, General Lazil wore the same get-up as Duke Phorus, except like decorative. The younger man's armor lack certain detail like the Duke had, which make sense considering the difference in their status.

Still, General Lazil still possessed an enchanted armor, which can weaken Spells, even to the point of making it dissipate before making contact with their armor.

Behind the general, his elite force also prepared themselves. Similar on number of Guardian of Hex, the entourage of General Lazil was around 20 people, all of them wearing enchanted armor of their own, though one of lower quality compared to the two leaders.

It's unsurprising since his entourage is Lazil's personal elites, his bodyguards, if one could call it that.

Half of them are B-rankers, while the other half are A-rankers, showing the difference in effort in cultivating their personal force.

Then again, unlike Duke Phorus, who need to worry about an entire Duchy, General Lazil, while having lower source of collective income compared to the Duke, could afford to train more elites than Duke Phorus, who had to worry about a larger army, plus his territory.

Despite the difference in power, Duke Phorus was glad, as it would make the rescue smoother.

"I will leave my Army Marshal to command the force outside." Duke Phorus told the General, who replied,

"I will have my second-in-command to do the same."

The A-rankers left behind would be leading the armies gathered, one that can easily plug any attempt of escape, something the Duke worried about.

With their preparation finished, the two leaders ordered their men to march into the Danger Zone.

"Guardian, march!"

"Soldiers! March!"

Alros look from the shadow. Being a Demon Lord, he could easily avoid any detection by any A-ranker, and that's without using Darkness Magic to hide himself even better.

He decided to sneak to the entrance, and see what the Duke is up to.

The Demon Lord was not surprise, as a small group of elites entered the Danger Zone.

Normally, such small numbers, which had around more than 10 A-rankers, would be enough to clear out a Tier 2 Danger Zone. Except, Hexun Cavern is a Tier 3.

The Elder Earth Elemental could easily crushed the entire group without breaking a sweat. The monster did not even need to do it itself. Sending some of its stronger children would lead to the group being overwhelmed and crushed by literal moving boulders.

Of course, the Elder Earth Elemental did not even need to make a move, or even order its children to do so. The Witches were more than enough, with deep grudges that will be perfect motivation for them to slaughter and torture the elites of Hex Duchy. And Ravus Kingdom. He almost forget about them.

"Maybe I should crush the one outside first." Alros looked at the gathered armies. Sending some of his armies would lead to the destruction of Hex Duchy entire military.

Though, he wondered, if the Elder Witches would like to do the honor in killing them all.
