'Fuck! How long do we have to wait?"

BAM!

Stormbringer had his face violently slammed into the debris on the table; he previously broke out of blue; even his thick skin could not save him. A few pieces of broken wood pierced his face making him bleed.

''Ugh!"

However, it was not the most humiliating thing; it was that he was forced to kneel face against the ground like a mischievous child getting punished.

''Gabriel, you will wait as long I deemed to be necessary, and your punk, what did you do when I was not here? Do you have the audacity to break my thing? Are you perhaps tiring of living?"

Elseria, who appeared, suddenly released her strength, making it hard for everything present to breathe; even the two SSS rank adventurers were no exception.

''Forgive me, master.'' Gabriel, aka Stormbringer, immediately apologized; he could never win against her; in fact, none of them could; the seven knew this. They might act almighty outside, but in front of this woman, they couldn't do anything.

However, Elseria wasn't having any of this shitty excuse; every time, it was the same thing. This table was made of precious sandalwood she picked; it was from an aged tree she personally nurtured. How dare he break it? He deserved a punishment; a bad child must be taught a lesson.

SMACK~!

"ARGH!"

The others' expressions turned into astonishment as they heard the sound of bones fracturing, followed by a scream.

Stormbringer (Gabriel) was flowing towards them like a kite with its string broken. His stomach was caved in, and as he flew back, he sprayed blood mixed with broken teeth.

SMASH~!

He smashed on the floor with his limbs spread out.

''Treat him!" Elseria ordered, and someone appeared and began treating the gravely injured Gabriel. The others did not dare to look at Elseria in the eyes because they knew she was really pissed. Among the seven, Stormbringer was the most reckless, every time doing something unnecessary; however, today, he went overboard and got heavily punished. Usually, the punishment was not that serious; however, this time, it was serious; they could only stay silent not to anger Elseria.

The meeting room was eerie silent until Elseria broke the ice.

''Come on, you guys don't act like that. I hate when one messes up with my thing, no matter who it is, this person would have to pay. He should have considered himself lucky if not, I could have killed him for what he did. That table means a lot to me.''

From her words, the six and the newly healed Stormbringer learned how important this table was to her; Gabriel felt ashamed and could only lower his head. It was unknown why he would react like this. Maybe it was because he was seeking attention from the one he admired the most, or he was simply a problem child. Either way, he messed up, and a big this time, the only thing he could do was to stay put until this meeting ended.

''Let's begin, shall we?"

''You know why I have called you seven here, right?" Elseria immediately cut right to the chase. She was not in the mood to play. The situation had become urgent; more villages and even some small cities had been attacked recently, resulting in many casualties. They must take care of the problem before it gets worse.

The seven nodded their heads; they might spend most of their time inside dungeons, but it doesn't mean they were not informed of the recent news; in fact, they knew everything except Lilith killing her brother and preparing to take over the throne.

Also, it went without saying they knew that an unknown force and monster rampage recently destroyed many villages. It was why when they received the guild master's summons', they arrived without hesitation.

They may be special adventurers, but they still have duties to carry. After all, when you accept the other party's generosity, it is the essential requirement to repay what you've got. Special Adventurers or not, they're still shackled to the woman known as the strongest existence among the women of this world; she is one of the strongest.

Elseria is really smart; she created the guild system and its rules; while adventurers are more free, the special adventurers have more freedom. So what to do have such special existences to be forever shackled to her? The answer is simple to give them something they desired and couldn't get elsewhere. Dungeons existed all over the world, but this doesn't mean they are ownerless; almost a hundred percent of the existing dungeons were owned by an entity, either by a kingdom, a principality, an empire, or the Adventurer guild.

It's the Adventurer guild who owned the most dungeons, and among them are named dungeons, it's to say High-Level Dungeons, the only dungeons Saint and above could use to level up and keep advancing. Elseria's plan was simple; you want to level up, then okay, I have the solution for you, just that you will have to abide by a few rules. I'll get a share of what you earn in my dungeon, and you will answer my calls, the most important one.

Naturally, none of the special adventurers did not refuse this deal even when they knew it was a trap to keep them forever under Elseria; they didn't have the choice either. If they disagreed, they wouldn't advance, it would take forever to level through low-level dungeons, so they accepted.

This was how Elseria maintained control over the special adventurers.

''It's good that you're informed. I want you to go on special to catch the culprit behind the recent slaughter. Don't worry; you will be handsomely rewarded. A new special adventurer is already on this mission.'' Elseria informed the seven.

The atmosphere changed right after they heard that.

''It's Alexander, the new special adventurer?" Dalia, the only female SSS rank adventurer, asked. A beautiful elf with short blonde hair and green eyes.

''No, it's subordinate to a talented Elf. She might become the third, no sixth SSS rank.'' Elseria declared with a smile.

''Huh?" The others were confused.

'Who is this person, and who are the other three?' They were curious.
