Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 122 Rhys's Right Arm

"There ain't enough for all of you so just suck your own balls and see what hatches from it! Fire!"

"Are… they really an Explorer guild?"

An hour has passed since all the guilds arrived in the Underworld, and even though there were a lot of them, the Meadow region ensured that there was plenty of space for everyone. An hour has passed, that is true — and yet the other guilds could not really proceed to train their new members as all of them were being distracted by Wilder's Harem.

They could afford to be distracted, however, as the monsters in the Meadow region were something Rhys was closely familiar with, red orthros. These two-headed dogs were one of the weakest creatures of the Underworld, and perfect for beginners — and since there were more than 5 guilds hunting them, their pack and numbers were meaningless.

Truly, the perfect place for guilds to train their new Explorers for combat. For most of them, the strategy was either to surround the monsters, or try to separate them from their pack and hunt them one by one — and that was easy since the Meadow region was just one big field of grass.

And yet, none of them could seem to kill or hunt anything as the loud roars of the members of the Wilder's Harem, partnered by the thunder exploding from their rifles caused everyone to just stare at them.

But perhaps even if they were quiet, it would still be hard not to be distracted by them since all of them were always in formation, changing from time to time depending on how many orthros were around them. And for some reason unbeknownst to them, the number of orthros moving around the Wilder's Harem were a lot more compared to their areas.

But of course, there were was plenty for everyone.

"Front reloading, switch!" And with their formation once again changing, Wilder's Harem was once again able to riddle a pack of orthros in front of them with bullets. They did not really need to reload that much, however, as their rifles had large magazines; Ayesha, however, ordered them to spend as many bullets as they could for some reason; turning the pack of orthros into a pack of ground meat.

No one was even using their god-given abilities, even the ones who were clearly not Lowborns.

But of course, the Wilder's Harem were not actually the only ones who were not wasting their time in the Underworld.

Even with every other guild distracted with them, the members of the Cerberus guild were completely minding their own business — with Emilia taking the lead as she taught the so-called newbies of their guild.

Despite being completely dedicated to her role as a senior member of the guild, however, Emilia was actually also taking small glances at Wilder's Harem; not at their soldier-like members, but at her brother.

How could she not, when Rhys was also looking at her?

Or so she thought.

Rhys was actually not looking at her at all, but instead at her other guildmates. Rhys had been observing them for quite a while now ever since they set foot in the Underworld. And at first, like most of the other guilds, the Cerberus guild was in their own spot and respecting everybody else's space — it wasn't that hard, after all, since the Meadow region was an open-ranged area.

But Rhys could not help but notice that they were actually inching closer to them bit by bit. And their movements, try as they might to seem like amateurs, they did not resemble that of someone who actually needs to be trained in a Beginner's area unlike most of the other people from the other guilds.

"Ayesha…"

"I noticed."

Rhys did not even need to say anything else to Ayesha, as she just immediately nodded while glancing at the members of the Cerberus guild, "Want me to break their balls?"

"No," Rhys shook his head and just focused his attention on his guild members, "If they do something, it will be a good test for our people. Just let them do whatever they want."

"Well, alright," Ayesha shrugged, "Live training it is, then."

Several more minutes passed, and the members of the Cerberus guild were now even closer than before.

Rhys started observing his sister, but he didn't know whether he was pretending or not, but she seemed completely clueless about what was happening — not to mention her guildmates were now actively trying to block her sight by strategically positioning themselves while obviously pretending to struggle fighting a red orthros.

And soon, Rhys finally knows how they were planning to cause trouble.

The Cerberus guild was currently pretending to struggle to fight a single red orthros as they got closer and closer — and soon, as the orthros lunged onto one of them, the person was suddenly able to swiftly dodge the dog's attack as he stepped to the side.

No, the Explorer did not just step to the side, he sneakily grabbed the orthros and increased its momentum by throwing it straight toward the newbies of the Wilder's Harem, who were in the midst of changing their positions.

Ayesha was about to rush toward the lunging orthros, but Rhys grabbed her arm.

"Let's see how they deal with it first," Rhys whispered as the orthros practically slammed its body on one of the Lowborns, completely breaking their formation.

The newbies of the Wilder's Harem quickly panicked as they all tried to get as far away from the orthros as possible — but as soon as they saw one of them was struggling, the ones nearest to the orthros immediately switched to their knives and started ganking it all at the same time, even in the risk of having their flesh being torn away.

And while they were massacring this single orthros, another group helped the one who was slammed by the orthros. But of course, they still had to deal with the pack they were initially hunting — but it wasn't really a problem at all due to them having individual squads within the platoon.

Their moves were precise, almost clinical. But of course, it doesn't mean they weren't scared — they were. But with the masks covering their faces, they were free to cry or do whatever they wanted without affecting anyone else's morale.

They each have an identity behind the masks, but together, they move as one.

Ayesha practically trained them the same way the soldiers of the Underworld Corps are trained. The other guilds were right, Wilder's Harem might as well be a military unit — they were already dressed as one.

"Good job, squirts, that deserves a rest." And as Ayesha was proud of what she had just seen, she decided to help the crew and started kicking away the orthros like they were just pebbles on the ground.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

But alas, before the members of the Wilder's Harem could relax and drop their heavy rifles, the Explorers from the Cerberus guild started approaching them; their voices as loud as they could possibly be.

"That monster was supposed to be ours!" One of the explorers pointed at the mangled corpse of the orthros they obviously threw toward the soldiers of Wilder's Harem, "Do you really think you can just do that here!?"

"Guys, what are you—" Emilia was about to see what was going on, but she could not even approach the brewing commotion as Wade and the other explorers deliberately but subtly blocked her path.

"Do you see us coming onto your side and stealing your monsters!?"

"That's right! Just because there are a lot of you, you think you can bully us!?"

"What's… going on?"

And as the Cerberus guild made sure that everyone heard them, the other guilds once again found themselves distracted as their curiosities forcefully turned their heads to watch whatever it was that was about to happen.

All they could really hear were the members of the Cerberus guild shouting, however, as the side of Wilder's Harem remained completely quiet, with all of them just looking at the Cerberus guild; their masks, making it hard to see what they were thinking.

Soon, however, Rhys started to move and stand between the two camps, and as soon as he did so, Wade also stepped forward.

"Is this how Wilder's Harem does—"

"Snipers," before Wade could finish his words, however, Rhys suddenly raised his hand. And as soon as he did so, most of the soldiers of Wilder's Harem all kneeled, except for 6 men who had a larger rifle strapped on them,

"Shoot down all the drones except ours."

And without even questioning his words, the 6 started aiming and shooting down all the camera drones of everyone unfortunate enough to be streaming or recording; they missed, of course, but it did not really matter as they fired again and again until no drone was left hovering in the air.

"Isolate the Cerberus guild."

"Wh—"

And before anyone could even react, the 50+ members of the Wilder's Harem swiftly separated and started surrounding the Cerberus guild. The soldiers of Wilder's Harem then raised their rifles and aimed it at the feet of the Cerberus guild — a way to avoid friendly fire just in case Rhys did order them to shoot.

And they will shoot.

The other guilds were right, the members of Wilder's Harem were not Explorers at all — they are Rhys's right arm, and they will follow whatever it is he orders them to do.

"What in—do you think you can get away with this, you fucking dregga!?"

"No," Rhys shook his head,

"Can you?"
