My Last Hunt

Silver Class 33

Hunting Golden Feather Monster

Kala noticed the instability of the monster and its struggle. "It is the time to reap." He voiced getting attention. Lama Lu nodded and attacked. Waiting might not bring goodness. She was soaked in the water. Both jumped and first feather got severe injury. The monster was sinking in the water without stable balance. Kaili woke up till then and joined hands with them. She did not want the team leader again question her loyalty for the team. Qiao swam on the surface. He shook his head and the hair splashed water. It was his second underwater hunt though not a full hunt. 

The three hunters were struggling and their struggle seemed fruitful. Before Lama Lu and Kala could attack fatal injury that feathers of the monster started glowing. They halted their advancement. It was not good sign. The monster wanted them all sink in the depth of the water along with it. The water moved in a bulk and they lost to it drowning under the water. "This golden goose is troublesome." Qiao fumed. The level six hunters cannot fight against the water. They can only struggle under it. The team was doing this struggle and Qiao held the golden feather supporting with it and climbing on the huge body. 

This was the most feasible choice for now. He was curious whether the monster would sink just like that? It would not look valid reasoning in his eyes. The problem was but not defined. The monster was using other feather and actually it was the same feather which was drowning first. Logically speaking it should happen otherwise. Qiao was sometimes too much of a headache especially his reasoning and the will to know the back end logic. The water suddenly scattered like it faced the underwater explosion. 

The other team members fell outside of the water and the monster glared Qiao who was still riding on its body. Qiao stared in the eyes and there was nothing other than resentment. There was something unique and noticeable. The eyes were shining with the golden glint. Qiao got shocked and jumped backward. This monster had its eyes the armor stone. It was horrible to look at it. There was not just the golden glint it was the triggered phase of the monster. One feather was injured and before the monster could lose against the water and the hunters. It blasted them away along with the water while this bug like hunter was still holding on to feather strings. 

It was the first ever direct confrontation when the stone armor was ready for attack. It was emitting intense heat and probably a hunter cannot take directly. It would burn the hunter in to ashes. The stone armor was the result of several years' natural accommodation of the inborn capability of the monster; a hunter cannot simply face it. Qiao was not a monster. He was a mere human who had been in this world from three months. He was not the product of this world. 

If he happened born here; he might have been able to defy similar level monster with his limited abilities but for now he could use the knowledge of advanced world for coming up solution. The monstrous glint spread around the body. The golden lines appeared around the body. "We cannot let the monster escape." Qiao voiced noticing the actions of the monster. The monster was going through the healing of the feather later fly for escape. They heard what the team leader said and understood what was going on. The monster wanted them to get scared and stay away for a while. 

In a situation similar to this; a monster can go all out in battle against the hunters or use the same force for healing and escape. Well not all monsters chose to escape; they bet their life for killing the hunters. Golden Feather might not wish to lose it when a bright future was waiting in front. The future where the hunters would no more be the rulers of the seven continents; there the hunting of the monsters would be prohibited and it will be the peak age of monsters; almost all monsters imagined this dream come true and they were working for it. 

Qiao held his fleece against the direct glint of the monster and let the team members attack violently. The longer weapon stabbed deep in the body leaving another scar. Kala put the attack consecutively; Lama Lu was doing the same. They kept leaping and then coming back on the surface after attack. It was most feasible method for avoiding the movements of the monster. Qiao also used his weapon. He wanted to get another blunt view of the eyes. There was something which urged him to do this dangerous act. 

The glint was vicious and he wanted to get the form of the glint. It was something similar learned person of unknown and deep knowledge would use against the enemy. Qiao was sure that once learned he could use this glint against his enemies as well. 

Going through all argument in his head; he decided to take a look. The monster as if waiting for this; it emitted the sharp golden light which was about to cut off the head of the hunter however Qiao held the weapon in between the sharp light and his head; it crashed against the weapon and the edges glowed letting the golden light travel through the hand of the hunter. Qiao jumped back and observed his body. He was sure that perhaps the vicious glint taken revenge on him. 

He was fine while the monster exploded next instant. It did not make sense what happened until he fell on the ground. The glint was vicious move which every monster reside with the inborn quality. The monster thought that these hunters were after the stone and the precious skin so it used it up on the last attack making stone and the skin useless. Fortunately the glint did not pierce the head instead it resided inside the hunter but for now he was not in good condition.
