My Last Hunt

Class Test 33

The beasts reached the black building in no time. They were afraid however they could not delay. Lord beast was busy in preparations. He did not create any report about the important issues in the North Sepedra and how he dealt with them. The higher level beasts were given commands to punish incapable or vulnerable Lord Beasts. 

He was in dilemma whether to skip few events but in case the representative beast heard it from others then Lord Zim should forget all future plans. The beasts took permission and entered in the main hall. The bright light of the day was entering through the opened windows still the hall was dim dark. 

"We were strictly guarding the edges of the North Sepedra when we sensed some battle impact creating ripples in the air. To search the whereabouts we flew from the last two islands. By the time we reached the representative…" the beast stopped in the middle before completing what it was here for. 

"The representative?" Lord Beast stood up from the seat and asked hurriedly. He was annoyed that beast was dragging it. 

"The representative beast was dead by then. We confirmed its identity too before coming here to inform. We left three beasts there to guard the body." The beasts did not bring the representative beast's body because they wanted Lord Zim to take a look first. 

Lord Zim was standing as if his soul was ripped from his body. The death of the representative beast might cause his fall. The higher level beasts would not listen any excuse. 

They would blame him directly. By logic it was impossible that someone killed representative beast near the North Sepedra. They would doubt his loyalty. 

Lord Zim hurried and flew toward the said place. Seeing the body he was sure of his near doom. The written orders were still there. It means some stronger Digger might started clash with beast. He left the unnecessary things there and flew with the forehead stone. 

There was blunt hole on the forehead which let Lord Zim create this logic. However all logics would not be able to save him. "Bring the dead body in the North Sepedra." Lord Zim ordered in fallen spirits. 

He lost his haughty aura with the recent events. These events were shattering his plans and encircling dead strip around him. He ordered his assistant beast to inform the Council Members. 

Now he needed their favor. Only their favor could save him. By the time he reached back the council members were present. He walked inside the hall like an average council member not similar to his previous air. 

He handed one of the written order to Hiko to speak out loud. Beasts used their different means of text in order to secure the confidential information from the hunters. Another beast could read it. 

"The Lord Beast of the North Sepedra is responsible to lead the beasts of all powerful dens in the first war. The representative beast would help them organize and impart the necessary tricks for winning this war." Hiko read the text. 

As soon as Hiko completed few beasts brought the dead body of the representative beast. First the council members were curious but then they noticed the sign. "The beasts on the guard found this dead body at the edges of third island near North Sepedra." Lord Zim spoke, his tone felt dying. His face turned like white paper. One would think that perhaps he was seeing the death retribution being granted suddenly. 

There was complete silence in the main hall. The Council members were standing like criminals ready to get punishment. "This could bring disaster." Hiko spoke one word at a time. They were afraid to speak anything at the time of crisis. 

The silence prolonged. 

…

Qiao was able to enter in the North Sepedra secretly. He head toward the same hiding spot waiting for the next day. He told Hiko that he was going to visit his east den since the east den was destroyed recently so he was ready to excuse that he was injured in the attack. 

This way he could get the recent information. After considering he was ready to kill the Lord Beast next day. The battle with the beast gave him enough understanding of his new found level eight strength. It was seemed the strength was tempering slowly. It was good sign for the Hunter King Test Trials. 

Qiao was more than happy. Initially he was worried that perhaps he might not be able to reach Hunter King position. After this mission there was only one and half month before the given time ends. He was curious where he would face the wicked hunter. 

He was not sure how much days would take for the Hunter King Test Trials. However according to his planning he would be able to complete this mission within week which was feasible for the journey toward the Hightown. 

There was one more concern which he did not want to neglect. He was wished to tame some higher level beast during the journey. It would save lot of time. 

There were few races in the beasts famous for fastest travel while there were few races famous for the extreme level collaboration with master in any battle. 

Qiao was in confusion what type of race he should tame for his last battle. His last hunt would be the Wicked Hunter. This demanded perfect companion for the Hunt. The question was still the same. What race and where he should search trustable race of beasts? 

The strength of the level eight beast was horrible. He might have lost the battle if he had not taken careful and cautious steps. This let Qiao understand the difference of the force of hunters and the beasts. 

The future battles could be extraordinary competitive, by calculating all observations he was getting ready for it. It was near evening. He did not notice any commotion in his way back. It means the main hall was going through funeral.
