My Last Hunt - Chapter 400
Class Test 30
A big beast was flying over the sky. Hull was sent to see the final preparations in the North Sepedra. Twenty feet long feathers were smoothly letting the beast stable in the air. There were blue rows of small feathers along the dull dark. The golden line at the back represented its position also evident of the granted power over the Lord beasts of all islands.
The Beasts of Frost Fire Continent released few instructions for all Lord Beasts. The final preparations were going on. The war was expected in the next three months. In this first war beasts were ready to check how much Hightown loss in the previous decades.
Several events happened and there were many hunters who were secretly helping beasts. This increased the confidence of the beasts. The previous decades were challenging for the Hightown. Compared this decade was threatening because not much Hunters qualified for the Hunter Kings Trials.
It strictly limited the power of the Hightown. There were four highly threatening areas in the three continents that none of the Hunter King took responsibility to accomplish any mission there. The beasts were very satisfied to know that stronger hunters were retiring and the fresh blood was afraid to join any risky mission.
Few of the hunters tried their best however they returned injured. The balance of the power disturbed greatly in the previous three decades. Beasts started preparing to get control over the Hightown soon. Presently Hightown was clueless about the possible war.
The elders knew that the beasts were preparing up till now they were sure that it would not be sooner than year. The beasts might have taken a year but then again the powerful hunter families in the Hightown were siding with the beasts in the dark.
They make them believe that in case beasts attacked at the Hightown, they would not render any help against this invasion. This would greatly damage the current stability of the elders, Guild Lords, School Lords, Rank Masters and the loyals.
The hunter families were planning something different at the back end. They were not loyal with anyone. The present circumstances were pushing the Hightown toward the dead end. The apparent peace could anytime get destroyed.
Here some loyals were trying to polish some insanely powerful hunter for the bad days. They were not sure whether their efforts would prove rewarding. They could work hard and rest leave at the fate of the Hightown.
The old Rank Masters were clear that once the war broke, all the disloyals would show up however they would not be able to fulfill what they were dreaming. The beasts would never mercy on them. It was mere notion that beasts would divide continents for the stronger hunters those helped beasts.
It was false trust. The beasts would brutally kill them one by one after they got rid the Rank Masters. It was blunt truth that only sensible hunter could think. Only time could teach them horrible lesson before their deaths.
After they came to know about Qiao, their hopes were tagging with the young hunter. They were as much secretive as they could. The elders destroyed the reports regarding his performance in the previous three months.
They were worried. Here he was ready to face the beast. This beast developed water attribute in the nature of the stone. The characteristics of this beast were as unique as the other attribute type beasts. They could render helpless any level eight hunter in few moments.
This was also the reason that the hunters after reaching level eight took minimum one hundred year for the Test Trials. The Test Trials were held usually in the occupied island. The hunters learn to face such beasts slowly.
Their fear was natural. It was also because of their limited methods of hunting. It was easy for beasts to defeat them because of their fear. Qiao held his stone in one hand and the weapon in other. He halted his further journey. The accurate pointers were pointing the straight direction for the arrival of the beast.
He was correct in his precision. Qiao was not nervous about the superior strength of the beast. Sooner or later he was meant to face then why not earlier. In the same line the beast entered in the island. This was the second last island from the North Sepedra.
Qiao felt the presence of the beast in the air. He spawned the command; the stone was still in his hand. The energy seeped ready to fulfill the orders. Qiao had had some blunt plant to bring down the beast first. He closed his eyes and spread his senses as if following the flight of the beast in the sky.
The energy was the source and the senses were meant to detect. Qiao suddenly opened his eyes and threw the stone in the air. At the same time the beast was flying over to reach the next island. The sudden and blunt attack of the stone traveled like thunder. The sharp light brought the edge of several hundred swords in real.
The first feather shook because the beast sensed the attack however it was late. The beast lost the balance with the attack. It was first ever that such event happened. It was utterly impossible that a beast was unable to sense the attack. The beast fell from the sky.
Qiao let it fall. He was taking note at what point the beast would fell on the ground. He intentionally did not leave any trace of the aura or the seeping energy reach the beast before attack. This gave advantage because beast remained clueless until the attack pierced its feather.
Hull fell on the ground. Qiao rushed to reach at the right spot. Hull was anticipating the attacker only to see another beast in front. The stone was in the air. Qiao did not move. He was trying to observe the beast and how he should proceed to kill it.
Hull was speechless as to what made this beast attack suddenly?
