My Last Hunt

Chapter 146: The Unseen Dangers



Chapter 146: The Unseen Dangers

Wicked and vicious:

The stone was shining in front of the hunter and he understood what his tamed beast wanted him to plan to make it impossible for the young man to level up. 

"This stone, where did you get it?" The wicked hunter was amazed while looking at the stone. It was something that the whole world would fight to get the hold of. It has no use for Hunter Kings or anyone else, still it was sought after a lot because of its unique characteristics. It was said to be dropped by a rare monster who happened to reach level ten and attained the complete nature of its self-armour. 

That certain monster was said to be called as Shadow Kabo. It lived on its own terms and vanished a long time ago. The hunter had long read about it in the ancient scripts but never happened to face it even until now or have ever seen the rumoured fallen stone. 

The monster let the stone drop from its body as it was a waste because it had no use for it after the complete attainment of the natural armour. But it was pity that the monster had to face the previous Hunter Monarch at his peak when it was almost ready to get to the Infinity state. 

Infinity state was a level or an attainment for when the monster can take on a complete human consciousness and intellect. It was incredibly difficult to attain but not impossible. The only state where a monster could ultimately outpace human superiority in all terms. Normally, monster were only lacking in intellect when battling with hunters, and this was also why a balance could be maintained between the physically stronger monsters and intellectually better humans.

But in this Infinity state, a monster can easily challenge the present Hunter Kings and defeat them to become the Crown of the world, someone equal to a 'Hunter Monarch' 

If such a thing were to happen then no one can stop the monsters to rule over the world and then many things could be predicted to happen, especially what would happen to the human colonies and population. 

The previous hunter Monarch fought the Shadow Kabo, until the monster was seriously injured due to the battle. After getting immense injuries it decided to retreat and hide somewhere. It was rumoured that it split its true shadow of the Kabo in many parts and disappeared. 

The Hunter Monarch tried his best to find the Kabo afterwards, but he could not find it. When they were fighting for many days, its stone also fell somewhere, else the Hunter Monarch might have been able to find the Kabo using the stone. 

He was not much familiar with the specificity of the stone, but after fighting with the Kabo, he understood that it should not fall in the hands of anyone. 

Even when he was sure that the monster had finally disappeared, he went as far as to destroy the whole half part of the fifth continent where the stone was lost. Though it would have been great if he could find it and destroy it personally. 

And now this beast of the Wicked hunter had got it from the same place after a thorough search. Monsters, just like humans gather unique stones and use them as weapon sometimes, especially those who aspired to reach the Infinity State. 

To get the kind gestures and favor: this beast handed the stone to the master. It was so because the master was choking so badly with such anger. Just like humans, the monsters also face various changes to their body as well as skills. And this monster was about to complete the first set of the bigger changes and needed the help of its master. 

"Vaga, you are getting smarter with the time. If I use this stone then the young man would really fall in hell, struck to attain anything much less levels. This way I don't need to worry about anything to create trouble for the young man and he will still be hung between two worlds." The hunter saw the stone and laughed viciously. 

Vaga the tamed beast of this hunter has at a height of nineteen feet with the two fury wings of same length. Both the eyes were of different colour differ and now at level eight it could mimic how the humans talk and sit.  It had a lot of advantages for example both of its eyes can attack with beams of light and wherever they fell, the ground would turn into ashes. It has also tempered its feathers and can use them as thousands of weapons at the same time. It was equally vicious, complementing the wickedness of its master. 

...

The stone was thrown away by a Level Ten beast and it could create an invisible boundary around any level seven and lower hunter to remain struck in the boundary or hallucinations of two different worlds. It was more frightening than to be caught in a crowd of monsters. 

"Haha, even if I tell him how to get out of it, the young man won't be able to collect the three stones required." 

There was also a complete guide left behind by the Hunter Monarch just in case about how to get rid from the layers of this stone. He was sure that one day someone will be able to find it and if unintentionally triggered it would then be troublesome. 

This wicked hunter had had read all those scripts which were left behind by the Hunter Monarch in order to become the next Monarch but he was instead tempted to live longer rather than just aim for being a Monarch. Though at his present level, he felt confidant to possibly defeat all the other Hunter Kings, he could only defeat them after consuming a huge amount of time, but the problem was impending death curse that might kill him, which was only six months away for him. 

On the premise if he could not get rid of the deathly aura on time and the young man was his only last hope who was also levelling fast, it would become a huge headache for him. As then he would have to face the young hunter too, and he could no longer control this young person anymore, with his level increasing rapidly, he felt the danger encroaching him more. It would be a hellish thing in the world for him instead. 

....

Qiao was done changing his clothes and ready to face the stares of the hunters. 

"What are you all doing here? Go and clean the lake from the remaining signs of battle." The Team leader came walking after he was done carefully patching and bandaging the big hole on his shoulder and taking care of the one who lost one arm. 

The hole of his shoulder would heal up completely once he stepped on the next level after the class tests. As for as the missing arm of the hunter was concerned: it would take a much time but it was not entirely impossible.

He was a hunter and will meet many opportunities and hopefully some surprising stone with certain ability can solve the problem. 

It was also upto the senior hunters if they wanted to heal up this hunter earlier then they could grant the stone as gift if they possess one such. 

When they left, Qiao heaved a deep breath. He was seriously considering to run away after seeing all of them circling around him. They wanted to talk with him and if possible, even befriend. It was good to have such strong hunter as friend. But he felt overwhelmed.

He was finally at level five and has no clue what the wicked hunter has planned for him. Presently he was feeling the strength of being a level five hunter and the surge of unique aura. 

Perhaps it was because he hunted a big monster or he was stinging despite cleaning and changing into new clothes. It was absurd for him to compare to different things in the odd combination but it was simply great whatever it was. 

From his experience, he could tell that another one and half week would take to reach the peak of this present level. His pace was not slow and he has not seen the signs of wicked hunter planning to stop him. There was something going on in his head lately, 'if his path was this smooth and the wicked hunter cannot really him then he could definitely face him soon' 

The only thing which seemed exciting for now was to see how the various Classes hunt in the open forest. 

He has learned that the stones has a different use than the low level hunters think it to be but it was still mystery until he met someone powerful or senior hunter in action not the retired one. 

He was still in his thoughts when a strong wind took him along and threw in a deserted place.
