My Last Hunt

Venture 10

The enemy beasts were to reach the Mekin island. Qiao found the island following the landmarks.

He did not immediately enter in the island instead thought to wait outside. The silence prevailing was not giving good sign. He was quite familiar with this type of silence.

The sky of the island was looking curiously at the empty land. Normally it should have been empty. The beast ruling in this island should have been flying around to keep a look.

The present situation demanded any beast race to remain alert. Qiao has reasons to doubt the situation. The black beast felt that someone reached near the boundary line of the island.

…

It was black day for the Hightown.

Rank Masters finally confirmed the rumors. The hunter that got disappeared long ago came back. According to the eyewitnesses he became more powerful and frightening for the stability of the Hightown.

It added in the worries. They had been trying their best to prepare against the beast war yet another problem stood in front.

There was no doubt that beasts would not delay this war any further however there came the worst thing. Now that the hellish hunter came back he would try to alliance with the beasts.

The high spirits of the Rank Masters were no more visible. The first Rank Masters were sitting in the First tower. They could not confirm the present level of the hellish hunter however if carefully taken then the hellish hunter might have crossed level nine.

This was rough estimate according to them. Considering the nature of the hellish hunter he had been hunting by remaining in the dark.

"What would happen with the Hightown?" the Rank Master spoke with fallen spirits. The chances are completely slimming down. Suppose if the hellish hunter offered to lead the war of beasts then the Hightown would become easy target. I can predict the outcome of the war." The rank master spoke.

The other rank masters were thinking the same. It was end of resistance. Taking the backing of the loyal Hunter Kings was a things however if compared with the circumstances then the number of the enemies has suddenly increased.

"Beasts are giving favorable choices to the greedy hunters so they are ready to go against Hightown. I wonder if the beasts would let them live alive after the war?" another rank master mocked at those who sold their loyalty for the sake of treasures.

"Only fools would believe that the beasts would let them live alive. They would immediately kill and they had had strong reason too. Who would want disloyal hunter stand at the back?" the rank master waved his hand.

Rank masters were helpless completely. They could watch the war and let the beasts kill many loyal hunters then take over the Hightown. They might slaughter half of the human population to celebrate their victory.

"What about the ancient hunter families. Since they have committed to go against Hightown, are they going to travel toward the Frost Fire Continent in order to stand behind the high beast?" the fourth rank master asked.

The hunting families were working in the dark however they were facing some troubles because of the family members were against this alliance. They were sober and could think about their future under the order of the beasts. They had been living independently and peacefully under the rule of Hightown. No one ever forced them the orders. However some of them could understand the circumstances when the beasts took over everything.

"They are still in the Hightown. Probably they will attack us when the war will start at the outside of the Hightown. This means from outside and inside the Hightown has completely surrounded with enemies." the third Rank Master answered.

It was another problem the rank masters could not throw them out of the Hightown immediately. Most of the loyal Hunter Kings were on their way to reach the Hightown.

Also the problem was double fold. If the Rank masters tried to throw out the disloyal hunter families then the hidden beasts in the Hightown might start war. The inner war could become the bone before the real war.

"I think most of the hidden beasts had been uncovered. We can give silent gesture to the School lords to get rid those beasts. If the school lords were able to complete this mission then one of the dangers can be resolved then comes the hunter families." The first Rank Master spoke.

They looked at him and nodded. There was no use in sitting and thinking impossible aspect. They could at least struggle for the possible. "This is something good. I would want to try this because I can no more sit idle and worry. If we got succeeded in getting rid the enemies hidden in the Hightown then there will be the War outside of the Hightown. There is no harm trying this." The second Rank Master spoke.

He felt some rush of fresh blood in his body to kill the enemies. They stood up to complete this mission.

The school lords were familiar with the hidden beasts so it was easy for them to kill. The overall apparent situation was peaceful. This peace was temporary. The Rank Masters were aware about the activities of the beasts.

However they were only silent onlookers. But after this brief talk they were ready to do all possible steps that could save the Hightown from the beasts.

…

Qiao felt as if the air was immensely under the pressure of many beasts and they were coming toward this island. It was strange because according to his information a strongest beast race lived in the Mekin Island.

The vibes of the force were evident that the beasts were coming here with the attention of attack. He gestured Lam to remain hidden. Things seemed quite frightening perhaps some battle was going to open soon. Thinking this Qiao kept the stones active in case he was spotted by the enemies.
