"What problem?" Gravis asked.

"As we've expected, this is a horde, and they are here to assault the land," Orthar explained. "The problem I'm referring to is the fact that we are now also part of the horde."

Gravis narrowed his eyes. "I don't remember joining," he said.

"That's the problem," Orthar said, "none of them joined voluntarily. Apparently, a chieftain of a larger group is staying here, forcing every passing Spirit Beast to join her cause, which is to attack the land. If any beast tries to leave the area, they will be attacked by him."

Gravis' eyes shone a bit. "And I'm guessing that she is at the Unity Rank. Otherwise, I doubt that she would be able to keep all these Spirit Beasts under control."

"The beasts don't know the specific strength of the chieftain, but she's more powerful than them by far," Orthar said. "So, what do you plan on doing?"

Gravis smirked. "Isn't it obvious? I've been drafted to fight against my will. I'm not a huge fan of that. On top of that, I didn't vote for her. I think I should talk with that chieftain," Gravis said with a smirk.

"Are you sure about that?" Orthar asked. "Apparently, she's very powerful."

"Don't worry. My Will-Aura can stop anyone at the Initial Unity Rank. I doubt that they would send more powerful beasts than that. After all, you said that she is from a more powerful organization."

"But won't that create enmity with the more powerful organization?" Orthar asked.

"More enemies and food for us. I've explained the concept of a Will-Aura to you. I need tempering, and for that, I need pressure and enemies. You can still back out if you want. I won't mind," Gravis said.

Orthar remained silent for a bit. This was a serious situation, and it might end in his death. He had to think carefully about this.

"No," Orthar said. "Ever since I met you, I felt my hot-bloodedness return. So what if I die? I accepted my death a long time ago!"

Gravis smirked. "Good! Then, let's go, but stay behind me."

"Okay," Orthar said. "The chieftain is at the very front, away from everyone else."
