My Last Hunt

Chapter 140: Level Four (40)

Level Four (40)

Let's hunt it:

Its target was set to jump and damage the first part of the bridge, leaving the Silver Class Team helpless. This team could also sense the movements of the monster without seeing through the fog. The seniors right then came to inform about their decision, 

"We will be able to provide support in around more than hundred feet range of the surroundings but..." the senior paused and the leader twitched his brows. "We both will be working together to provide this level of support." This meant that none of them will be able to join in attacks. 

The Leader nodded as he was expecting something similar. He shook his head and accepted this condition. Then he gestured towards Qiao to come near. Qiao walked forward. 

"Can you stand in front of the bridge and use this sword if the monster happens to come forward to damage the bridge? If you do not cower and maintain a proper stance then this sword will not shatter against this monster." He was not sure if the youth was given complete knowledge about the usage of the sword or not. 

When it comes to the speciality of the sword then it was quite unique in its characteristics. It worked smoothly in a flow along with the will of the user. It listened directly to the demand of its master and no one else. If the master was willing to dive into danger and risk to win, then sword would not loss its durability no matter what. It uses the bravery and grit of the master to face the enemy. So in the end it depended solely on the user.

"I shall not cower at any moment." Qiao answered and did not speak further. 

He already knew that the sword was not a common weapon. After talking to him, the leader and his men walked away to stand at the front of the bridge to make their first move. The seniors gathered at one place and connected both their experience tokens with the stone. This stone would emit a light which could easily make a support bridge around the monster. It could only be seen by the hunters and could be used at any moment to run around the monster in the air and attack.

In their current situation, it was a convenient support. 

As soon as it got activated the first one to jump upon it was the leader and then his men followed. The monster was also leaping above into the air at this moment, ready to reach the bridge. The invisible support beneath their feet helped them to rush forward without any fear of falling down. 

After the team left, Qiao stood in front with his sword, alert for any movements. He had not seen the monster yet clearly but from the beastly aura he could tell it was the strongest monster among all he had faced before. Now this was a real test of his calibre. 

Mostly hunters cannot move in front of such monsters because of the pressure that the monster emitted. They would become glued to their position due to the fear. And monsters would use this opportunity to attack the hunters.

But Qiao was not like that. He knew the monster before him was scary but he did not cower. It could even blow a full breath and send the hunters flying in the air. It was up to the situation what would happen when the monster really came face to face. He could not predict anything, but he was not going to get scared. 

The hunters saw the huge monster and gasped with horror. It was not only its body that was leaping upward alone, tons of water was also splattering around which made it seem like a huge waterfall. It was normal for the monster but worrisome for the hunters. 

And this temporary water surge which looked like a waterfall fell on them. They were fortunate that the support was strong enough for them and they managed to not get thrown away from the temporary flood. 

The leader voiced, "Avail this chance and wherever you are, rush forward. Try your best to use your weapon and leave an injury." He himself was rushing and reached near it and stabbed with his sword. The monster has not seen the team rushing forward due to the water screen and when the sword stabbed deep, it shook its entire body. 

At the other side, Qiao felt that his heart came in his mouth when he saw the monster ascending upward. He firmly held the sword despite the fact that it was a real horror movie going in front of him. All those animated movies where the monsters became friends with the male lead were a scam to the audience. Such a monster could never be like what was shown in those movies. 

Here the monster might bury him under the thousands of feet of water and might not be satisfied. At least that was what Qiao could observe from the monster's mood right now. From the monsters perpective, it seemed as if something had pricked it with a needle.

Now that the Silver Class has started to attack, it was time to battle first and later worry about the bridge. Though it slightly moved its body but it was enough to shake off badly the support and the hunters. They seemed to be in the middle of the water. Two or three of them rolled on the air cushion because they had lost their balance. 

They were wet from head to toe and unable to stand firm due to it. But the order of the leader was also important, so they were struggling to rush forward and stab with their weapons. The monster was now descending down to battle with the hunters. 

The whole lake was the territory of this water type monster and none was allowed to intrude else the results would be frightening for those humans.

It was a battle against the monster's arrogance and the human beings reluctance to admit defeat. This was going on from decades and until now the battles were never ending. Two thousand years ago, the monsters were ruling the whole seven continents and they wanted it back from the humans. And the humans that had struggled to gain their freedom from the monsters were not going to allow that.
