Black Sun was a Prime Guild—Rank II—one of the oldest in Gatehaven. Their long history was filled with records of victories in S-Rank Dungeon Raids, and their reputation was usually enough to make other guilds keep their distance.
However, today, inside the main meeting hall of their own guild building, that respect was completely absent.
At the head of the long table sat a woman with soft golden hair that fell like strands of light. Her golden eyes reflected a cold gleam, and every time her gaze shifted, the ten people before her tensed as if the very air in the room was thinning. The aura she emitted seemed to make the floorboards groan softly.
She was Delilah, the Star Witch.
Orville Rutherford—a middle-aged man with black hair beginning to gray at the temples—stood at the very front. Partly because of his status as Master of the Black Sun Guild, and partly because Delilah had earlier ordered everyone else to step back from him.
