The Author's POV

Chapter 708

[I'm at the location.]

The abandoned structure far off in the distance captured and held Monica's attention for some time. A fleeting expression of solemnity passed through her eyes as she knelt down and did the best she could to hide her presence.

'...This is it.'

This was the place that she was designated after the meeting a day prior.

In just a few short moments, a battle would erupt, and many would die. Her presence was not yet known to the enemy, and she was only supposed to show up once the enemy showed up in full.

If they didn't show up, she wouldn't either.

Closing her eyes, she inwardly prayed.

'Hopefully...'

"Monica is in position."

Donna looked to her left, where a beautiful woman with green hair stood. She was none other than 48th ranked hero, Amber Rose.

Not far from them was another group of lower ranked members scouting the area ahead. They were the main force in charge of the operation. On the other hand, Amber and she were merely there to ensure that nothing occurred to them. Somewhat like bodyguards in disguise.

Their presence shouldn't be out of the Monolith's calculation.

"That's good."

Amber responded, her tone sounding rather low. It was her attempt at hiding her nervousness.

"Don't worry."

Her nervousness didn't slip past Donna. She placed her hand on her shoulder and reassured.

"We've got the upper hand. We may be walking towards a trap, but the fact that we know that should already be enough of an indication that we aren't going there without a plan. Have faith in the Alliance Master."

"You're right."

Amber took a deep breath and stabilized her heartbeat.

She looked at Donna and asked.

"...Is he trustworthy?"

"The Alliance leader?"

"Yeah..."

Amber bit her bottom lip.

"He seems rather young, and there's not much that I know about him. It'd be a lie if I said I wasn't worried."

"..."

Donna wordlessly stared at Amber.

'Is he trustworthy?'

Donna's mind was just now starting to wrap around how far Kevin had come in such a short amount of time compared to when they first met. From having a rank of around a to now being on par with her.

...Then there was Ren as well. Nothing needed to be said about his accomplishments, which surprisingly overshadowed Kevin's already absurd ones.

'Now that I think about it... what kind of monsters did I train? Is my teaching that effective?'

She shuddered at the thought.

Perhaps she was a way better instructor than she had expected.

Raising her head, Donna's eyes focused on an enormous beacon that was deeply etched in the ground
