Chapter 230 - Katelyn
Chapter 230 230 - Katelyn
No sound of footsteps or movement was heard, nor did anyone say a single word. In the end, this was not so different from when Ryan was first summoned to the guida. It was that same situation, either you run away before you hear too much, or you're trapped forever in the hands of those who command all the Travelers.
The lights came on, revealing several important Travelers. Ryan couldn't recognize most of them, but it was noticeable how they were looking at him, both from their systems and from the surprised looks on their faces. The first thing he thought of when he saw the room was to once again turn his face towards that strong person.
That violent aura was coming from a girl completely covered in armor. That gigantic iron outfit was hiding any visual trace, from a distance, it was impossible to imagine that there was a woman inside. But Ryan could tell, after all, he could not only assess her with his Demon Sight but also see that she was a virgin girl.
'It's not saying her name or her level... or her abilities...' he thought, surprised.

That amount of buffs was astonishing, but what scared Ryan the most was the thought that there was still a sidebar where he could scroll down to find more information. This was something that had never happened before in the system, even with the information from Soul Desire and Fate's Desire. This warrior managed to have more buffs than any other woman in the room, and the most surprising thing was that she wasn't in combat right now. 𝓯𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝙤𝙢
If these were the buffs she keeps activated on standby and in a safe place, the amount should be even higher with temporary attack bonuses that could only be used during or before a confrontation. Important buffs like Rapid Mana Recharger or Supreme Mana Recharger only last five minutes.
That alone was enough for Ryan to understand the seriousness of the meeting, as well as why he didn't recognize anyone there. These people were not ordinary guild warriors or strong and famous people, but the elite travelers, the kind of warriors who never leave portals.
'This place... So I'm surrounded by SSS+ Ranks... but why don't I see...'
The sound of engines came from Ryan's right side, one of the iron walls was being lifted only to reveal more travelers. He quickly noticed the presence of Alice's Mother, which proved what he was thinking, those were just the bigger fish.
John Wrinn stood up on the stage, but instead of starting to speak he just kept walking until he sat down in a comfortable armchair. Coming up the stairs was a woman who appeared to be much younger than the old warrior, her long purple hair had a white lock that fell to the side of her face.?As she walked, her badge bumped against the gigantic pair of breasts that bounced from side to side in rhythm with her hips.
She was wearing a black skirt, a dress shirt and a blazer. Her legs were hidden by black tights that went down to her black heels. When she turned around, Ryan was startled by the beauty of this woman, every detail of her face was astonishing. She didn't seem to be wearing much make-up, but she was wearing a light lipstick the same color as her hair and eyes.
Looking her up and down, Ryan couldn't find a single flaw in her. She was the perfect definition of what he imagined a milf to be. Her age was probably over thirty, at least that's what Ryan guessed from the mature way she acted.
To the eyes of someone not so experienced, someone who wasn't a Womanizer, they wouldn't guess an age older than twenty-five. That elegant woman then approached the microphone and gave it two taps, testing it.
"My name is Katelyn Wright, I'm the current president of the guild"
Silence remained in the room, no one showed a single reaction. However, everyone was surprised by the woman's presence. John Wrynn had always been touted as the main head of the guild, but his position had always been that of a regional officer.
If the president of the guild herself was giving this information, something rather shady was going on. Ryan couldn't help wondering what was going on. Confused, he exchanged glances with Aether.
The blond just nodded. If even Johnn's favorite didn't know what that meant, Ryan couldn't imagine what could be going on.
"You have been summoned to battle in the guild's next official raid. A black portal has appeared in the ocean, according to our data, it should finish expanding in four days. It has already been confirmed that the portal's magical signature is identical to that of an impact." The woman's voice echoed through the room and into the hearts of the warriors.
As Ryan stared at Katelyn, he noticed the old wolf watching him. John Wrynn was staring at him, his golden eye shining.
'The ability... So my destiny is approaching....' he thought.
The old man nodded, as if he knew exactly what the boy was thinking. With a wry smile, he got up and left the stage while Katelyn continued her lecture.
"We invite only the best here, those who can influence humanity's victory. That's why we're releasing the site for training until the start of the Raid. It's extremely important that you are at the peak of your ability, this whole region has been equipped to work for you. We've put in whirlpools, giant beds, swimming pools and everything else you need. Soon, each of you will receive a servant to help with your needs"
Holding out her hand, Katelyn pressed a button. Several bubbles flew out of the wall, each with a small watch that fell into the travelers' hands. "This is the new version of the guild assistant, the information will come through him."
With that, the meeting was over. Nyx and Lux should now be investigating what was going on in the guild, although Ryan didn't know his exact coordinates, the succubus and the angel would be able to track him down.
"Ryan, do you realize what's going on here?" Aether said, in a mental transmission. Accepting the message, the two began to converse telepathically.
"No, but we have a lot of big fish here," he replied.
"It's not just big fish, we're surrounded by SSS+ monsters and they're desperate"
"How strong the portal they found must be... With this many people it would be possible to defeat more than twenty portals to the abyss..."
"The giants' portal was defeated for much less, if only I could have some information about what was going on..." the blond said, while scratching his head.
The connection between Ryan and Nyx still stood. With that, he asked them what was going on.
<We found the base where you are, it's underground under the water on a beach in Lacaster. Rin has already made a portal to get to the place, Lux and I are walking through... Wait, I see you!
'Create a mental connection with Rin, I need to talk to her.
<"Understood!" said the succubus as she saluted her master. She had her head through the wall of that base.
The girl's voice began to echo in his mind, as if they were both talking on the phone.
"Ryan, what happened?" she asked, confused.
"Did you get an invitation to a guild meeting today?"
"Yes, they called me. But I declined, I don't want to take part in Raids"
This was a relief for Ryan, turning to Aether he said aloud. "Let's walk around the base for a bit, I need to talk to you," turning his back he headed towards the cafeteria.
For security reasons, neither of them left the mental transmission. There were now three voice channels on which Ryan could communicate. The first was linked to his three handmaidens, the second to Rin and the third to Aether.
"Have you heard about that woman? Katelyn Wright?" Ryan asked.
Shaking his head twice, the blond denied it. "I never heard from her. I knew John wasn't the head of the guild, but normally this kind of position isn't very public. The guild avoids showing its leaders for security reasons."
Crossing his arms, Ryan closed his eyes to look through Nyx and Lux's vision. The two girls were walking between the rooms of the base, crossing several restricted areas where there were hundreds of monitors linked to security cameras and equipment that would be used during the raid.
Going down a few more floors, the two finally found what they were looking for. In the center of the base, Katelyn was joined by several men and women dressed in lab coats.
Sighing, the purple-haired milf said, "There's nothing we can do, the cube can't suck the energy out of that portal..."
