My Last Hunt - Chapter 385
Class Test 15
It was confirmed that the beasts were weak from inside. Qiao was heading towards the black building all the thoughts running in his head. Apparently beasts were stronger than hunters. The hunters would think twice before facing beasts however it was concrete that they never lived among them. Only by living among them the hunters could uncover such deep secrets.
Qiao rushed and kept his strict glances in his surroundings. The Lord Zim was not some simple hunter, he was proudly living among the beasts and ruling, there was no doubt of his capabilities. By appearing in the black building with the eye sour Hiko, Qiao already offended Lord Zim.
The chances could not be neglected. Qiao was careful; he somehow felt that someone was keeping eyes at him especially after they left the black building. His premonition was true. The assistant was following behind secretly. Lord Zim handed the responsibility to find out about the second beast.
It was similar of threat if the opponent got the loyalty of some other beast. It would increase the difficulty to get rid both. Lord Zim was killing some crook head beasts so to keep the loyals only. He was appointed the Lord of North Sepedra however his rule was not overly accepted by few. Thinking that they could create troubles in the future wars, Lord Zim was bent on to get rid of them.
Qiao slowed down his pace. He wanted to see who it was following behind. With the slow pace, he was able to sense the presence of the beast. The assistant was surprised as to why this beast slowed down. There was nothing particular in the surroundings. Despite following for some time the assistant could not understand what these both were looking for.
Qiao was worried that if he reached near the black building while still someone chasing behind, he might be exposed earlier than expected. He sensed the direction where the beast was hiding. Qiao thought to confuse the beast first. If the beast came to know that he was aware of its existence then the beast might escape and Qiao did not want this to happen.
The distance was closing with the trick. Qiao held the weapon in hand so to give surprise attack. The assistant was peak level seven. Lord Zim gave order to remain hidden and follow. This was the only responsibility. Lord Zim wanted to know the motifs of the beast and belongings.
Closing distance was necessary. The beast could shift the form and flew away if he was not cautious. Killing was the only option for now. Qiao moved in the thick forest. The beast got confused. The assistant was worried that it might lose the track of the strange beast. It tried its best and found the lose tracks however the distance closed at the threat level.
The assistant did not notice however Qiao was ready. This thick forest was blessing for him and worry for the beast. Finally it was time when Qiao could dash and appear in front. The assistant got confused and stopped looking around where the beast disappeared. Qiao appeared in the next instant and throw the beast on the ground using the sharp edges of the weapon on the neck of the beast.
It was sudden and cruel. The assistant was not given chance to defend or escape. The neck cut like smooth, the beast breathed last without making sound. The blue blood tainted the ground. Qiao cleaned the weapon. He carefully looked around. He was sure that this beast was sent by the Lord Beast. Its disappearance would definitely bring chaos for the black building soon.
But it would take time before they find the dead body. Qiao dragged the dead body near rocky lush green hidey-hole. For some time he could venture this North Sepedra without blame of killing beasts. After that Qiao resumed his journey. The fire hill came in his sight, from there he moved left.
His huge stature gave off the aura of beast. The disguise was still on place. This means he could enter in the black building however there was problem. He was not some invited guest to enter from the main entrance. Though Hiko briefly explained the path toward the served space for the council members however he could not take that path to reach the fourth space.
“It seemed I am destined to face the Black Keepers.” Qiao purely sighed. The black building was filled with threat nevertheless he was out of second chance to tag along the council member. Hiko believed him and it was more than enough to use this opportunity to create ruckus among the council members and take advantage of the situation.
The black building came in his view. There were not some guardians appointed outside of the building to make it safe because most of them were aware about the black keepers. In this scenario it was unnecessary to appoint few beasts outside.
The black building was not just given this name; it was completely made of dark material which Qiao was unable to figure out. It was similar of some comic stories where the evil antagonist lived in the abandoned building with the evil characteristics. The surrounding of the building was mysterious.
Qiao silently surveyed as to which part he could enter inside. There were several terraces at the second floor. All of them were wide opened. It seemed Lord Zim has no worry of the enemies in this building. “From now on you will fear the unseen enemies most definitely.” Qiao murmured
Qiao was here for this traitor and he would feel exceptionally relived if he could make the traitor fear death before the real death. He wanted to see with his eyes. The death of traitor would bring boost for his reputation as the hunter and it will also smooth his journey for Hunter Kind Test Trials.
Qiao was sure that after witnessing the North Sepedra would never give refuge to another traitor. This was what he wanted. A Hunter should remain true to his position and the expected role of defender for the Hightown.
