My Last Hunt

Level Battles 22

They heard the suggestion and looked toward the opponent. The hunter was exceptionally talented and energetic. He was bent on to defeat them. Two of the monsters already faced his sharp tricks. The constant pressure of the accurate attacks was hovering on their heads. It can any time bring threat and injure them. 

"Let's attack then." They whispered agreeing. Qiao was still busy in deciding and planning the next target. He was also curious why the monsters were no more recklessly attacking. They seemed conversing on important topic. It brought some confusion because the monsters don't care for secretive talk. 

"No it would not waste because the combine attack would create strong aura and the hunter would not be able to use his rush skill at least with the same capability. This would be enough time for the attack." The monster voiced in low tone. They were planning how they can get rid the hunter. 

There was huge distance between both opponents also the monsters created the layer of the stone to keep their discussion secret. They finally decided and did not take much time. Qiao activated level eight stone and guided not to reveal until there was something serious to happen. The stone understood the attention of the master. 

Lam was able to listen their discussion; after all it was superior race of monsters nearly reaching level eight. It rushed toward the master and at the same time the three monsters combined their attack and commanded their stones. One cannot underestimate the combine strength of three level seven monsters. 

The huge wave of mix energy leapt toward him. He can save himself however injuries cannot be avoided in the present situation. Even if the attack did not directly hurt still it would throw him in the endless crater. Lam rushed while looking at the sky filled with the attack energy. Qiao twitched his brows seeing this. It proved something in his eyes the monsters definitely temper their intellect with the time just like humans and this combine attack was evidence. 

Lam reached right before the attack and swept the master away from the attack range. The attack fell on the ground burning the habitat and the natural greenery. It created bigger crater. Qiao got pleasantly shocked because he was preparing to tackle the combine attack yet the loyal monster swept him away. He patted the monster then rushed to attack the three monsters. 

They were seriously annoyed to see that another monster ruined their plans. Qiao leapt with the stones attacking consecutively. It brought another calamity for them. "Today is bad day." They roared with despair. Their attacks lost face in front of the level eight stone soon. No matter how hard they tried still injuries started to appear on their huge bodies. 

One after the other they fell getting immense injuries. Every injury brought experience points for the hunter. None of his attacks ruined the ground. The monsters fell, Qiao walked near. They would not become part of the nature until they breathe their last. Qiao did the last attacks. He was quite satisfied reaching half way through level seven. 

Few more bunches of monsters were left in the list for this level. "It is time to search another conflicted party of the monsters." Qiao murmured. Half of the day expended in the level hunting. One and half day was left for him to hunt as many as he could. The elder of the Hunter Association told him that there will be a mission soon so he was quite energetic to get it. Lam followed behind. 

The master seemed never tired of hunting. "Lam how will you reach level eight?" Qiao asked the loyal monster. "Reaching level eight is not difficult however I cannot leave your side." Lam answered. Qiao stopped in the middle and asked, "Does both aspects are related to each other?" 

"I will have to hunt few similar level monsters and consume their stones. The second option is to find a safe den for next five years. The third option is to eat up level eight monster of similar race. All these options are unworkable for now." Lam explained. 

Qiao nodded. He cannot help the loyal monster because all three options were demanding. "There is fourth option. Only one level seven beast can grant enough energy for level up." Lam thought for few moments and voiced. The beasts were incomparable and the monsters can consume their flesh for level up. 

It was strange that beast hunting did not grant experience points to the hunters however monsters can take advantage of their stones as well as flesh. Hunters can only use beast stones or tame them for better travel source. This fourth option was workable. Qiao was certain that the Hightown would soon give some similar mission in the area of the beasts. 

His advancement was questionable in their eyes and they would definitely find a source to test his capability. His idea was accurate. They were indeed planning to test his grounds. "Then you can expect it soon. My next missions might revolve around beasts so you should prepare yourself for the level up." Qiao gladly added. Lam was slightly surprised however knowing that the master was not some slacker; it was confident about the spoken words. 

Qiao was running to find another target. Some of the monsters were running toward the others. They were chasing and attacking. One of the monster stole the small cub from the other den and after the den and its members knew the truth; they went to attack the opponent den. The dispute prolonged and now they were thirsty of each other's blood. 

Qiao rushed and came in front of their crowd. His intention was to challenge them just like before. Both parties of the monsters stopped. They were stunned to see that single hunter was intruding their day. "I wanted to challenge few of you." Qiao voiced confident. One of the part of the monster did not mind instead one of their wise monster voiced, ""You can challenge whoever you want but before this let us kill those rascals. They stole our small cub and killed for their taste." 

Qiao heard and looked at seven or eight monsters. They were from different race. From their skin color to their vicious eyes all looked horrible. He has reason to believe accuse of the other party that they must have done the hideous deed. 

Before the hideous monsters could speak of anything; Qiao voiced. "Then hire me and I will kill those rascals for you." He was already looking for the target; it would be good if the hideous monsters become his target. The victim party heard and thought for dew moments. "Why would a hunter help us in killing our enemies?" the leading monster asked. 

"It is simple; if you walk away your den then someone else might steal your cub and here I am willfully ready to kill your enemy. This would save you from worry." Qiao seemed making bargain. Lam was pleasantly shocked. He was ready to kill the enemies of the other party for free giving impression that he wanted to favor them. 

The monsters talked with each other whether to believe the words of the strange hunter. Before this day they never met a hunter who was ready to do toil for them. "Since your tone is sincere and you have concern for our cubs. We can let you hunt these rascals." The leading monster voiced and walked away with its fellow monsters. 

The other race of monsters was blinking at this bargain. They seemed frustrated to see such a thing happening. They were sold to the hunter in front of their eyes. "Who are you to kill us? Is it that easy? Just how many hunter kings are backing you?" the hideous group of monsters taunted seeing the confident hunter. 

They did not interrupt before because this way they got rid of equally powerful monsters. However they were not afraid of lone hunter. Lam was standing near but they did not bat an eye. Probably they were in numbers and they cannot fear from one monster and one hunter. "Ah you are right; I bought my hunt and you will see how it will proceed." Qiao got ready for another mass hunt. 

He got five level seven stones from the previous hunt. With this his reserves increased and he was not worried about the attack limits of the stones. He could control level seven stones feasibly so he did not bring out level eight stones. These monsters were also different. With the ten feet height and skinny bodies they were less competent. 

However they looked fierce. "Master this type of monsters plan schemes against the opponents; be careful." Lam voiced seeing the monsters. This was truth the specific race was known for its hideous deeds and evil ways. They usually rob other dens. They work in collaboration and kill many monsters for the sake of it.
