My Last Hunt

Level Battles 42

Qiao completely took hold in the next island. With the constant battles he was getting it towards the level eight. At this point of last island; the number increased greatly that half of the place looked like the battle field filled with the dead beasts. They were all level seven. On all places he was reluctant to get his hands on the beast stones. 

In the fourth island the loyal stone started flickering some tiny dots of light around Qiao when he was in the middle of the battle. Qiao had been relying on two level eight stones. Seeing that the stone which submitted previously was trying to ask some permission; Qiao was reluctant to listen but then he decided otherwise. 

The stone was asking permission of its master to absorb the energy of the fallen stones. The loyal stone after witnessing that the master has no concerns for the beast stones, it wanted to absorb the aura and the energy from them. Qiao thought for a while and nodded giving permission. 

The stone shook bright and leapt to absorb the energy. Without the permission of the master, the stone would not be able to do this in the inactive condition so to fulfill absorption; the stone needed the favor of the master to keep it active. 

Qiao had had built strong trust with this specific stone because on several occasions the stone bet its overall strength to save him. The stone absorbed the beast energy and the streaks of various lines slowly turned pink and green. Qiao was amazed to see this and the color combination was something new for him. 

The stone returned satisfied. Qiao deactivated it. 

In the next island Qiao did not bat his eyes on the fallen stones. But to see so many stones giving brightness forced him to sweep them all. He was not greedy instead wanted to use them for weapon if he could customize one depending on his efforts. 

The town's people were happy that this migration did not bring trouble for them. Two hunters from the Nest were sent to check the situation. They returned after witnessing single hunter turning the good day of the beasts into worst day. 

The migration entered in the last island at the fifth day. These five days exhausted the team members. None of them rested be it day migration or the night when the monsters no more travel. They could travel but prioritize rest. "How cruel is this hunter? I wonder if I am still normal hunter to remain awake on my toes ends during mission days. This is the first ever mission in my life to make me regret choosing the hunting profession." One of the tired native hunters burst out his frustration. 

"Look before you speak. You might offend the hunter in your ignorance. Well I am not that frustrated like you. I am learning true hunting spirit from this ambitious team leader." the other added. 

The day did not end. The monsters were walking towards the last island that was their destiny. In this mission monsters as well as hunters faced worst whether too. Their initial enthusiasms died down long ago especially native hunters were at dead end of exhaustion. 

The affiliated hunters were no different but they were afraid of the wrath of the hunter. In these past five days; they witnessed one after the other unusual traits of the hunter. They were awe inspired and afraid at the same time. Qiao was as fresh as he just began the journey. 

Lam was able to completely grasp new changes also it was looking forward to the bigger adventures of the master. "Get those stones in one pouch and keep it until I find time and place to customize a weapon." After collecting half of the fallen stones Qiao ordered Lam to do the rest of job. 

Not only they were able to save the Nest in fact none of the human town was affected with this migration which was blunt success regarding mission. Well the team members were most glad at the end of the mission. As soon as the migration ended, Qiao marked the territory and ordered the affiliated hunter to write down the report. 

The hunter was afraid to offend so he wrote down best of report. Second affiliated hunter was truly sincere. He was trying his best to stay around the team leader and learn from him. After making sure that the monsters settled in the sixth island, the team started their journey back to the Hunter Association. 

This time they were rushing like well ambitious hunters everyone trying to run ahead of other. Qiao patted the back of the loyal monster and smiled to see the team members. He was no more rushing instead taking flight with Lam. 

Some of them were immensely shocked at the transformation of the pet monster of the hunter. Half of them really wanted to follow his path and become successful hunters. Normal hunters can never dream of taming monster or beast before reaching the peak of level eight which was daydream for many. They witnessed how the pet monster followed the orders of the master. 

Qiao was not much happy because this mission took five days which was not good sign. The last two months of his life were ticking and five days were consumed in this mission. He wanted to stop the time frames and become Hunter King at any cost before the two months end. 

He could see that Lam was not suitable for longer flights. After all it was monster in the first place and second that not much time passed since it transformed. He was more than ever determined to tame a beast for the Hunter King Test Trials. Every level eight beast happened to be of double in size compared with Lam but none could match the level of sincerity so he decided to keep the monster with him until the last shard of his journey. 

They reached the Hunter Association by the end of the evening.
