My Last Hunt

Class Test 31

The feathers were sprawled on the ground while the beast was looking at Qiao. There was no one in the surrounding to witness two beasts at war. Qiao did not speak anything. He noticed down the unique stone placed at the forehead of the beast. Malva stone was shining with all grandeur. 

"I thought the North Sepedra and the surrounding islands are under the Lord Beast Zim. It is impossible for any beast to attack on other unless they have conflict. I never met you then unlikely for us to share conflict…" The bushy voice of the beast was full of disbelief. 

The representative beast tried to figure out why the beast was acting this way. Because of the higher position it was meant to investigate the reason behind this action. "The conflict started before you know it did. You would not know why it did because I lack time to explain." Qiao answered. 

Qiao was done observing; with the first attack first feather of the beast was seeping blood. It was due to his minute perfection that the attack fell at the right moment and right place. The beautiful blue rows of the feather were getting tainted. 

"You are reluctant to relate then I would not drag it for you." The beast visibly resisted the urge to kill immediately. The healing process started after few moments of the attack. Qiao was not oblivious about the advantage of beasts in this aspect. The aura of the stone was restricted and under his control. 

The beast thought that perhaps the stone of the opponent beast was no more active. Qiao learned to control the aura at his will because it necessary in this world of hunting. Most of the hunters get bashed due to their uncontrolled energy. The dangers were everywhere then why let them know through the aura?

Those who could not control their aura get caught in uninvited battles falling in the hands of group of beasts or monsters. This method was only known to few Rank Masters. That's why they were serene in their choices. 

The beast supported its other feather on the ground and stood up. The huge stature shook. Qiao side smiled to look at the acting skills of the beast. It might have worked on others however Qiao was different. He belonged to advance world where such acting talent might not get any good trophy in the entire life. 

As soon as the beast was in the middle to stand properly, the stone from the sky pierced through the second feather along with another stone supporting the horrible command of the master. He used Lam for supporting other stone because this stone submitted to him at the very beginning. 

This means keeping loyal stone at the back would force the new stone to work honestly. It second attack that was aimed without creating ripples in the air. The beast was shocked how the opponent deciphered its actions. The beast was ready to attack using Malva stone however the second attack ruined the chance. 

The Malva stone was quite powerful. Currently none of the Hunter Kings possessed this stone. This stone bore the characteristics of hidden attacks as well create tremors in the surrounding on large scale. It could render the opponent helpless once active. 

It was best for long range attacks too. Pity that the beast could not find chance to activate when the second attack fell. Qiao held his hand up in the air and commanded the stone to return back. Beast clearly saw that the stone returned to the opponent. 

It forgot the healing and thought to immediately create tremors for this opponent to fell face down first. However Qiao was only playing trick. The purpose of bringing back the stone was clear. It gave him two moments with bonus time. 

Two more stones silently surrounded the beast. Qiao did not mind that this upcoming type of attack could damage the stone; he was bent to try it. The beasts were different from monsters. Hunters and monsters play hunting at their ease, one attack and the second dodge or similar sequence otherwise. 

For beast hunting it was completely different. They have nothing to worry because they were healers. This was quite powerful advantage however this advantage made them less care other aspects. They were sharp, cunning and decisive. 

They could act vulnerable just to deceive hunters. It might have worked if it was someone else other than Qiao. The two silent stone clashed against the ground where beast was trying to get up again, this time no more acting. The beast made then attack toward opponent while the ground shook making big crater and the beast fell in it. 

The two stones barely made it before colliding with the ground. They rushed to save the master while Lam was already there. Lam created strong barrier for the red flood of the beast energy. It was simple attack of the Malva stone. 

One could imagine targeted attack. The beast was shocked again. Falling in the pit was already humiliating enough. Both feathers were half injured. The beast has only one choice whether to let the healing work or focus on attack. 

Qiao stepped back seeing the unrestricted strength of the beast attack. For this reason he was learning how to do sharp attacks with the perfection of the time convergence. The stones of the beasts were powerful than what the hunters ever met before. 

Hunters grew up hunting monsters. They were equally lazy like monsters. The choice of attacks and methods of hunting all were useless in front of beasts. Qiao learned this critical aspect very early during the previous mission. 

His learning process was faster than normal. This helped his decided prior to the expected circumstances. The time he found out about the beasts, he was trying to figure out their weaknesses. The duration of the battle against beasts could exceed because the hunters could only drag to plan for escape. 

This duration could be reduced with what Qiao learned. It was not just one trick or the other stone; it was about the growth of hunter as the Hunter King.
