Malia gathered a considerable number of hunters with her.

Together with some of the members from different families of hunters, they joined forces for the hunters' raid.

​​

According to the orders of their new president, each family must contribute and send their own number of hunters for such raid.

The overseer of the Vitre Family, Malia, sent a message to her foster father that she acquired a reliable source.

Which entails the location of a lair of vampires.

Hoping for a successful raid and to flaunt his good leadership, President Tony gave a go-signal and a command to all families to send their own group of hunters.

Lucas wasn't aware that his younger sister lured him out from his location so that she could initiate an attack towards the vampires.

An attack which would presumably wipe out the targets.

For Malia, her main objective was to annihilate those creatures that potentially caused for her brother to be a captive through using his gratitude for saving Fluffy.

In her mind, if she successfully eliminate their target, then there will be no more reason for her older brother to stay with them.

Being associated with vampires will only endanger her brother.

Thus, it is only right for her to take down these vampires.

What she was not aware of …

Their target is the main headquarters or the location of the castle of the king of vampires.

Relying too much on their massive number of hunters and anti-magic wielders.

Forgetting the significance of sufficient information regarding their target.

She will learn the consequence of having no sufficient information about her targets.

So far, Malia has never lost in a fight which makes her rely too much with her strength, magic and elemental powers.

In the middle of nowhere …

A vast plain of fields could be seen stretching out miles away.

Seeing nothing but vast plain of field with nothing else but …

Barren land …

And rocks …

Under the night sky, the entire convoy of hunters stopped in the middle of nowhere.

Trying to confirm from Malia if they were heading in the right direction.

All vehicles stopped.

Including the jeep where Malia and Booth were riding.

As they stopped, each representative of family of hunters tried to approach Malia.

"Hey! Are we heading the right direction?" one representative from a family of hunters wondered while walking towards Malia.

Based on the actions of others, they were confused about where are they really going.

"We can see nothing, only but a barren land and not even a forest ahead." Another representative from a noble family of hunters expressed his agitation.

Another representative pointed out, "There is a forest in the east but we are heading to nowhere. Are you sure with your logistics? Or should we head for the east? Maybe you got the directions messed up or jumbled?"

One representative from the Rogers Family interjected, "Pft! Maybe she doesn't know what she is doing! Who made her the leader of this raid? It should be someone from the Rogers Family at least. Being a daughter of the new president doesn't make her better than the rest of us. She may have magic but she is no match for the wielders of anti-magic weapons."

The others were quiet for a second upon hearing the snide comment of the representative from the Rogers Family.

Booth clearly did not like the tone of the hunter who insulted Malia in front of everyone.

He glared at the guy, showing him that he was displeased from the words thrown at Malia.

Though, Malia gestured for Booth to remain calm and she doesn't mind the comments of the others.

"I understand everyone's concern. But so far, none of you have the most kills and the zero record of failed raids. Making me the best person to lead this raid." Malia boasted her record as a hunter.

Making everyone look around and whisper.

Her retort made everyone feel a little bit challenged and put into their places.

Not intending to cause a fight, Malia thought it was the only way for them to realize her worth as the assigned leader.

Instead of arguing with them, Malia moved forward and checked the surroundings.

Using one her elemental abilities.

Summoning balls of fire around her and shooting them as far as she could.

The others wanted to say something. But what Malia did made them all gasp in wonder.

In few kilometers away, the balls of fire hit a barrier which made it bounce off.

And evidently, everyone witnessed the balls of fire hitting this huge barrier.

Causing waves and circular motion of wave reactions.

"Damn it! The vampires may have expected us coming. They are using an illusion to blind our path and a barrier magic." Malia loudly exclaimed.

Warning everyone.

Rushing back to their vehicles.

A sudden appearance of a monstrous presence arrived.

Landing exactly in the middle of their convoy.

Everyone was taken by surprise.

Because most of the hunter were standing outside their assigned vehicles.

"RAAWWWRRR!!!!" Berrick screamed in his monstrous form.

Thrice larger than the berserker form of King Viktor.

His entire skin covered in a diamond scales and his eyes were bloody red.

At the sight of Berrick, Malia could sense the danger and the incredibly powerful aura coming from him.

"Everyone run! Stay away from him … Do not engage!!!" Malia instructed everyone in desperation.

She could already tell the difference from their former targets.

But others were too proud to listen to her.

Someone younger than them …

And most of all … a woman!

They detested her authority.

Unknown to them, Malia was perfectly accurate with her assessment.

A discovery which they will find out in the most horrifying way.
