There was a 4-story leaning tower to the north. A part of the top had been demolished, which left behind a gaping hole. 

The top floor was where Kainshell's boss, Clovis, respawned.

Of course, the tower was filled with other monsters as well. Various undead monsters spawned on each floor, all of which were strong enough to be considered mid-bosses. 

12:00 A.M. (2400).

Players wearing a band with the Empire Guild's insignia gathered at the tower one after another. 

They were all part of the Empire Guild's Assassination Squad, which was allowed to kill any player that participated in unauthorized hunting. 

The Assassination Squad was also responsible for killing Kainshell's boss, and providing the guild with the item it drops.

"All of us are here," the squad leader said, a sword hanging at his waist.

There were four other players nearby. 

These were the Assassination Squad's most skilled members.

"We're taking down a boss. I can't miss out on that, now can I?" a man, who carried his spear on his shoulder, smiled and said.

"Let's go."

Small talk was unnecessary.

After all, they had already gone...
