My Last Hunt

Level Four (12)

Injure the feet:

With the team getting more collaborative, it was bound to create difficulties for the monster so the first choice for it to run away from the approach was not bad.

But it was up to the team whether they were ready to let go and apparently there was no chance probably Qiao was able to stir their enthusiasm for the hunt with pointing a way where to attack. The monster saw the chasers not willing to give up now it was directly facing them because they were running toward to attack. Since leader was going to attack from rare and this time he was follow the pointer of the young man. He was about to hit right at the feet.

So the other chasers came from front, this time they were ready to dodge in case the monster again attack with frozen crystals, the only thing which was necessary to keep in mind was the pattern attack of the monster and almost all chasers temper their brains with the observation skill.

A human cannot be considered a good hunter or chaser if he has not better observation skill, it comes with experience as well as inborn quality. Also there can be found a specific stone of Alba which was absorbed by the chasers but it can only be absorbed if the chaser has not reached level five, later the stone would not work and the hunter had to temper his inborn observation skill. Mostly chasers were not known about such facts or they simply were not interested about stone absorbing, it demands them to meet the certain requirements.

For those who take it time wasting just try to resolve with their experience to learn observation slowly. Those who were able to get hold on the Stone of Alba could learn the most vague movements of the monsters and tell the difference or could mark the weaknesses too. With time those hunters develop strong bond and were able to know immediately what kind of attack the monster can put in certain situations and easily prepare for counterattack.

Qiao changed his position and again casted the trap, this time he meant nothing but to cast it for the sake of casting, the monster was trying to dug deep it's feet probably getting ready for attack or just hiding the feet. It has flexible neck and could move one hundred eighty degree with ease. it was considered perfect flexibility for a monster to attack and defense but if the chaser came from rare then it would have to bother the giant body.

As soon as he threw the trap, he pulled and came running to help the leader. All the other chasers were also running and shouting as if ready to stab the monster. The monster got frightened with the trap and it started attacking with the crystals, this time it was not recklessly attacking but stopping anyone who wanted to close up the distance.

One by one the frozen crystals came, and the edges seemed more sharp to cut open the fleeces of the chasers. Thankfully sharp crystals were not in abundance. "Use the fleeces as the wings to fend off without letting them hurt." hurriedly the team leader gave instructions. And with this monster came to know that the chaser was near its hind feet. It immediately moved the body and the crystals aimed the leader with a whole bunch of crystals leader got baffled. It was already much difficult to reach near when the huge body was constantly moving to scare the hunters.

Qiao got speechless, he thought that since leader was near they would be able to put first successful attack but it turned out that he got successful in getting the attention of the monster. Now he was using his sword to stop the crystals hitting his head. Qiao did not lose this golden opportunity, he brought his sword and attacked on the front legs. "All of you, hurry and pull the trap with all might." he gestured them to hurry, every moment meant opportunity in such situations and if they kept the non serious attitude then they won't be learning fast in the Snow Island.

The competition was tough and those teams who could not show best performance will be sent back to get some experience or rest for a while and come back after learning. The monsters were no more smaller, the challenges were not simple. If they cannot hunt these monster then how they could face those who has developed their natural armors and were insanely powerful.

All of level seven monsters were able to grasp their armors as well as best attacking tricks. They also learned to overcome their weaknesses. They fought and never fear to engage in a real battle with hunters. So only tempered and learned hunters can advance to Hightown in order to not give an impression that humans were weaklings in front of monsters.

This was one of the reasons that whoever was granted permission to reach Hightown has to travel alone. If one cannot travel a normal continent then how his Guild could trust his ability and send other under war continents. Only the Azzura Continent was under the perfect order of the hunters.

The travel to the Hightown was full of threats and monsters so a level five peak was expected to walk through them with his own abilities rather than depending on a team. The teams were meant to hunt and learn and the alone travel was meant to experience unseen.

Moreover the levels after level five differ greatly and so do the monsters. This demanded extra effort and strength along with guts.

Other continents constantly faced the threats of Monster evasion. When Qiao ordered the chasers ran to pull the trap. He himself caught the sword and aimed toward the feet. The giant body fell on the ground and Qiao could see the small holes in the feet of the monster.
