Outcast Hunter

The others were almost done, taking care of the fiends. There was too many, but you don't know how crazy Drago can be.

Killing almost half of them. He still wants more, more stronger than what he's been fighting, one that would make him go all out, put his life on the life.

"Weak, come on! That's all they got? I'm not even serious yet"

Corpses were scattered everywhere around him.

"Ugh! I hate this! Why do we have to be here!?"

Said Ruhan, angrily.

"He said, things will be explained to us, so let's just finish this"

Calm as usual, Zest always look out for her and with just his words, Ruhan would stop and just do as Zest says..

'Tch!'

"Ow, ow, ow! Ouch! Their magma's too hot, hiss"

Maeve and Hazel's almost done on their side too. Maeve was luring them, whilst Hazel, she do the finishing touch. Hazel had not still gone back to herself.

"Come fuckers! I'll fucking rip you up and throw you into the boiling magma!"

"Their coated in magma! Idiot! Hiss"

'Master Leo, he seems to be doing well" she stop for a moment and watched what was going on with Leo's fight.

It was before Leo's mana-created right arm had dispersed and fought Abaddon with just his left hand.

She saw that Leo was getting beat up by Abaddon and took back what she said.

"He'a not doing well. He really is an idiot too, why don't he use his skill!? Hiss"

"Where you looking at, Maeve!?" Hazel asked. She saw that her sister was watching Leo's fight. "You're worried about our master? What!? Did you already fall for our master!? Wahahahaha!"

Maeve's brows arched up.

"Fall for him!? N-no! He took care of us, so it's just natural to be worried about him, hiss"

Nodding her head.

"Cut the crap! That ain't the real reason. If you don't like our master then, it's fine for me to have him"

Teasing her sister, Hazel proclaimed. Maeve's never been so pissed by her sister.

"Then have HIM!"

"Woah! Attagirl"

Leo used his skill to restore his right arm. He didn't really want to mock or underestimate, Abaddon. He just wanted to gave him a fair fight, man to man fight. A fight between men.

But Abaddon's just as strong as he expected him to be.

'I lost, almost half of my HP and my MP too. I need to have a refill'

From his storage, he took out the bottles of potions and drank it, refilling his lost HP and MP.

"Hmm? Restoring your HP and mana? That's kinda cheating, I mean, I can't do that, what you just did"

Leo took out another bottles of potions and threw it to Abaddon. Leo wants him to drink it and strat their battle from scratch.

"You want me to restore mine too? How generous and kind of you, I'm moved"

After drinking, he threw the emptied bottle and made his stance.

"We can have as many skills as we want. And for giving those potions, I'll gladly tell you one, just one, thing you should be really aware of"

He lowered his guard, so is Leo. He saw Abaddon made a serious face, he can't ignore that.

"What is it?" Leo asked. He's been really eager to know what he don't know, what this is all about, about him.

"Two parties were created when our Creator made us. It's the Destroyers, like me, and the Protector and then there's you..."

Abaddon, pointing at Leo, and stopping midway made him wants to know more.

"Continue"

He grinned. "Kekeke, okay. You, who goes by different calling, Maintainer, Balance Keeper, the Neutral, there's so many nicknames. But the nickname I always calls you, the past users of that power, I call them 'Death'. That's what the others did, to all of us, he brought forth death, they always ended up alone and they always restart the cycle of life, after obtaining all 24 Graces"

Leo's somewhat in doubt of what he said, but it soon fades out. You can't really help it but believed what he said with a straight face.

"Even if I ask, I'm sure you won't answer me. I'll leave it at that and find the remaining answers for myself"

"Smart thing to say. Then, shall we continue"

A thought had crossed to Leo's mind.

"Can't you hold your weapon when you used your skill?"

He asked. Abaddon shrugged his shoulders.

"Never tried that. But I'm sure it can't since Chastisement is only a bunch of hands that will give a one hell of a body pain, if fully hits"

'I see. Too bad, I shouldn't have cut off his arm'

"Pointless thing to ask. Let's continue"

Both had man up. The distance of 7 meters seems really close for them. They felt like they could reach each other if they try extending their hands forward.

The vibe was different than before. They continued their fight. What was different was the feelings. They look both happy fighting each other, glad to have met each other and exchanged blows.

'Chastisement' 'Grave Threat' it is a skill that gives off an intimidating vibe and make his enemies lose their will. So much killing intent will be released by the user, suffocating the enemy, unabling them to move. Effective on enemies that is weaker than the user.

'Hotfoot' 'Cloak'

Leo could feel it in the air. Abaddon's killing intent's far greater than what he had encountered, so far. (so good)

His movements had slowed down and something inside him made him stop, forfeit that fight and he felt the emotions and feelings of a lonely child, sitting at the corner of a house.

His thoughts was clouded and mixed feelings transmitted into his mind. It was memories. A child, was all by himself. Leaving in his own world, no one to talk to, play and eat with.

Not until someone came knocking on his door. He was scared at first and was hesitant to open the door, but when he heard the voice of the people who was knocking on his door, he felt loved, and important for the first time. He felt the warm feeling that was coming from behind that door and made him open it.

"Abaddon, you will not be alone anymore" the man said with a smile on his face.

Abaddon, who don't have any memories of his mother and father, felt comfortable around the man. From that day on, that man took care of him, gave him clothes, foods, a new shelter and the power he desire.

'I want to, send people to where their beloved love ones are. I don't want them to feel what I feel, alone in that corner'

After he received the power he got from the man, the Creator, Abaddon, he began killing people that was feeling alone, lonely, and scared of the reality, the reality that no one loves them for who they are.

He became evil, a demon, to bring forth kindness, no, more like, salvation, of their lonely alone souls.

Until he became more powerful and he even began killing anyone. Astray from the path he have chosen.

Leo saw all of the beings he's with in his past lives. They gave him little comfort and importance, but that little things was so much for him, that it is making him happy, every time he reminisced the past.

Leo could feel that all inside his body. It was a coursing electricity, giving him the chills.

'They were family for you. It doesn't look like it, but you're really nice, Abaddon. You must have suffered a lot, let me put you out of your misery'

When Leo came back into his senses, Abaddon was rushing towards him, holding his hatchet and his skill 'Chastisement' was coming straight for him.

The sight of Abaddon, Leo felt sad about him.

"Rahhhhhhh!!!"

One meter left until he reaches him. Leo was prepared for him.

"Goodbye"

[You have used your item's skill misty step. Time until it is available again, 2 hours 59 minutes and 57 seconds]

Abaddon, he had raised his hatchet and was gonna struck him down, when Leo teleported behind him and with a split second, Abaddon felt the pain from his back through to his chest. Leo pierced his heart, and didn't do it his usual way, where he would decapitate his enemies when he has the opportunity to do so.

"Th-thank you. I hope you don't make the... same d-decision as the others chose"

Abaddon died with his hands still raising his weapon and with him, still standing up, he died with a smile on his face.

All of the remaining fiery fiends had stopped fighting and came back from being a magma.

"I couldn't saw it clearly, but I could see a resemblance..."

Exhaustion was felt all over his body, even his mind was feeling tired.

He didn't stop to rest, but approached Lilith. He wants to bring Lilith's brother back to life.

"Pick him up and go to somewhere, that thing" Leo pointed out the helicopter flying above them. "Should not see us. What I am gonna do is something that must not be done"

She obeyed Leo and went to a place, where the helicopter will not be able to capture what will happen.

"Th-they killed all of the demons! What powerful strength!"

People went wild, be it in real life or the internet. People that had lost their families inside the complex couldn't resist their heavy teary eyes and cried in relief.

Dougras23: What he did was f*cking awesome!

Lila1909: He did it like what we always see in anime!

Peroperoper: He's like a samurai! That flashy move, he stabbed him without looking! Sad thing, he doesn't have a scabbard for his sword to sheath it back.

The internet was going crazy, of course, not all comments are good, there are people who will still judge and hate you despite what you've done. You can not please everyone.

Annie and Neil was watching Leo's fight. They couldn't believed that the powerless hunter from before had grown so much.

Annie could not help it, but feel her buried feelings for him.

Leo had followed Lilith inside a room she found. Leo didn't want to say it but, from the very start, when he received his class, he could see the souls of the dead. There were so many of them right around the middle of the complex.

"Okay, lay him down"

Lilith put her brother's body down and stepped back a little.

[Points Available : 0]

The room darkens, black smoke and bugs crawled up from where Lilith's brother was lying. The bugs restored his body that was full of holes and the black smoke had entered his body and his soul had leaved his body, going to Leo.

[Souls Collected: 1/999,999]

'So, I will have their soul if I resurrect someone'

His shattered face was brought back to one piece and holes from his body was now gone. Lilith couldn't move and was shocked, she doesn't have any idea what Leo was gonna do, when he told her to pick her brother up.

"Gasps!"

His brother, Jun, woke up from death. She hugged him tight and embraced her back.

"Jun, Jun"

"I remembered that I was hit by those-"

She hushed him down and let herself take her time.

'I picked this up in impulse. But, what should I do about this?'

He was holding Abaddon's grace. It was sealed inside a small orb. It was dark red, like blood and when he shook it, he knew that what was inside was not blood or anything liquid.

[Do you want to consume the Grace? Yes or No]

'It's asking me. Come to think of it, Abaddon said something about 24 Grace'

"Yes"

'This could go horribly wrong'

[Consuming in process...]

'Ugh! What is this!? I can't breath, my chest feels so tight!'

Leo lose consciousness and fell on the ground. The siblings noticed him fall down, so they quickly came to his aid.

"What happened to you!? Hey, hey!"

---

He woke up. He felt the nostalgia, a deja vu. Those ceiling, where did he saw it? Ah, he remember now, he's inside a hospital. He looked around and saw his brother beside him. Tom had fell asleep, laying his head on the bed whilst siting on a chair.

Tom woke up when Leo tried to move.

"Did I woke you up?" Said Leo.

"Ah, I must have fallen asleep. No, no, brother Leo. You're awake now, I'm glad!"

Tom does really love his big brother, he gave him a hug. Leo patted his head and smiled.

---

Leo got discharged and on his way to see the others. He was asleep for three days. Tom told him that the others were being held inside the Chairman's house.
