Quest For Three Stones (43)
Bagel;
The blood hunter was standing in front of an invisible wall and he could sense that it was created by some powerful stones. He tried to enter inside the barrier but every time the barrier shook him away from it. He looked around and felt that many eyes were focused at him. The two teams of huntresses were sneaking from behind the hidden places and blinked to see the nude hunter. From the very first glance; they understood that he was a blood hunter of higher level. This was the reason that no one came to bother him.
Instead they kept watching whether he was here to break it or enter in the barrier? If he entered then what would happen to the trio? They wished that the blood hunter should enter in the barrier and then strangle those deceitful hunters. Only then they could return back contented and satisfied. The blood hunter looked around to spot the stares. He coughed slightly and the used his hand to check whether his protective clothe was around his waist or it fell while running. When he felt that the shard of clothe was at the right place he released a full breath with ease.
Moving around; the blood hunter reached behind a huntress in a blink of an eye; she was sneaking at him from a distance hiding behind the small rocky hill. "Stand up and tell me who are you and why are you sneaking like this?" the huntress heard the sudden voice coming from behind and got horrid. She has already heard many rumors about the bad temper of the blood hunters; "I" she was unable to speak anything and to suppress her fear she briefly rolled her eyes at his full stature which was like a giant standing in front of her now.
"Stop ruining my body by casting glances; I know there are few other of your team." The blood hunter felt uneasy when a woman was glancing though the body was occupied with the popped up veins but he was not wearing anything except the small cloth and for the first time he felt uncomfortable moreover it was not one huntress but few more completely focused at his body. After getting to know their hiding places; the blood hunter gathered them all at one place and most of them got annoyed when he captured them like logs and threw on his shoulders; four at a time.
"I knew; he is a blood hunter and definitely bears malicious intent toward us." One of the huntress who was about to scream her lungs out yelled frantic. "You are right; we cannot trust this race." The others huntresses brought their swords in front and stepped back. Most of them were scared that perhaps this blood hunter wanted to ruin their dignity. He was stronger and powerful and from his clothing taste; he seemed sick seducer. The blood hunter also stepped back. Shaking his head; he was slightly disappointed about their reactions.
"I am here to solve the matter of this barrier. You all can leave now." He turned toward to face the barrier so that they should leave. "Wait; there is a bitch inside the barrier. Hand her over to me when the barrier fell." The blood hunter muffled his mocking tone. "As if I am going to listen you." He answered plainly without facing the huntress. "You are utterly insulting me." The huntress dug her sword in the ground to show that she was displeased. "And you are only wasting your time here." The blood hunter spoke stubborn.
"See; these blood hunters are always disappointing." The huntress who was leading them blamed openly. The blood hunter could not digest it anymore. Just because he was not listening to her orders does not means that she could continue blaming anything out of whim. He suddenly turned around and grabbed her from shoulders, "We the blood hunters are not always disappointing; if you don't believe, do you want me to show you." He lowered his head at her chest and sneered like an evil. It was intentional to scare her so that she could stop woofing and go away.
All of them saw how he was clutching her and they ran to escape the impending doom. They heard that if a stronger hunter happened to cast an evil eye then he would not let any of the woman escape without fulfilling his desire. The huntress started trembling because his aura was fearsome. He let her stand on ground and she ran away without looking back. After some distance she looked back and got shocked because the blood hunter did not move from his standing position to capture; actually he was not even looking at her instead toward the supposed barrier wall.
She got ashamed that she did yell all bad things at him and he was still not furious at her. "I won't ever badmouth about the blood hunters." She left the vicinity with this resolution and the blood hunter clearly heard her mumbling from exaggerated distance. He finally let out a full breath and the air around trembled however it did not bring any change to the barrier. "It is not usual barrier created by a normal hunter." He spoke stern. The stone used for this barrier was unknown and the aura was not leaking; this means the stone was under the command of someone powerful.
After taking a look in the surrounding and making sure that this barrier needed attention of the Hightown; he returned to report in the association.
Qiao has notion that this monster must be the right target however it can only be confirmed once it activate the defense or attack. The red glow was evidence that the monster was peak level five and in next level it would assort with the stone though in the present level it could use the stone for attack too. The monster sneered by puffing full breath from its nostrils. Qiao was mere level five hunter standing in front of the level five peak monster. It was a direct slap on the face of the monster of uncommon breed.
"I know you are the one." Qiao hummed the favorite line of a song and feel motivated as if he was about to poach his girlfriend. It was another thing that he never had a girlfriend; he many times fancied to ask his childhood female friend to be his girlfriend however he failed doing so. Waving his sword; he hummed again to trigger the monster.
The monster attacked with the overwhelming aura and Qiao dodged. This attack was enough to clear the confusion. The monster must bear the bagel stone because there was certain force in the attack and it was pulling the air of the surrounding as it wanted to gulp in one go. The aura broke after some time because the monster has yet to learn the complete command on the strength of the stone. "Your heart is calling; you should listen to it." Qiao hummed the second line when it got confirmed that it was the desired hunt. He also gestured Wuza to get ready for collaboration.
It was level five peak monster with uncommon race stamp. Neglecting the safety measures was not wise act. Wuza got active to collaborate. Qiao gestured again and he picked a log and ran toward the monster as if ready to crash against it. This was all to confuse the monster as to which of the hunter was going to put the attack first. Qiao also leapt at the same time and slipped near the feet intentionally. He wanted a perfect position for the attack. Fortunately his weapon would not retire very time soon so he could use it just like a proper weapon of better grade.
The heavy feet of the monster severely got injured when the sword slashed near the legs. It was to slower down the movements of the monster. The huge mouth opened roaring. "I am sorry if I hurt you ever; we build fancy never but youyes you are the only one." Another sword slashed the left side of abdomen. It seemed that Qiao was trying to relax at the same time hunt but why he was humming the song lyrics? It was unknown. As if he was anticipating the time when he would get hold on the third stone and get rid this barrier. He was also thinking about the possibility whether the wicked hunter would again show up or bring trouble for him?
This problem though delayed but he learned much which would be helpful so he could count it as blessing in disguise but what about future hurdles? The monster fell; it was still breathing however Qiao stopped attacking. 'As soon as the barrier vanished; it is highly likely that I would appear at the same place from where I was held hostage?' Qiao asked in his head. It happened before.
