My Last Hunt - Chapter 410
Class Test 40
Lord Zim was very confident because he possessed stronger stones. No matter if the battle got prolong he could use trump card to grant death. He did all possible tricks in his head for the time to come. Lord Zim commanded his stone.
With the two higher level stones active the ground shook, the energy collision broke when the third stone suddenly appeared from the sky. It was something new in the field of hunting. Lord Zim was slightly surprised.
Normal hunters were never smart enough to think wise use of their stones. They use as if the stones would empty out of their filled energy. It was rare that a hunter use more than one stone. There were some hunters with unique skills that they could use two or three stones at once.
Qiao seemed well versed with two stones. Lord Zim understood and brought out second stones. He took deep breath and activated, it was after long time that Lord Zim was going to use two stones against a hunter.
It increased the battle strength however both sides remained unnerving yet balanced. Qiao let the third stone show up. He was in no hurry. He wanted to see fear of death on the face of this traitor. It would take time till Lord Zim realized his limits.
Qiao was willing to invest some time. It would give another benefit, all spectator beasts would stay from Hightown for next hundred years. This battle should remind them and scare their final breath. After facing revolt the North Sepedra was no stronger base for the Beasts of North Sepedra.
They would not be able to bring worry for the South Sepedra anymore. It was first part of the mission which Qiao completed successfully. Now the final part was going. He was facing traitor. As soon as the third stone showed up, Qiao got the upper hand.
He guided the stones energy downward and the two stones of the opponent crashed against the ground. One of the stones turned in to smithereens. Lord Zim was holding the energy when the sudden action took place he went through the impact.
He was forced few steps back and the visible lines of worry appeared on his forehead. It was expected in battles of extreme type where the hunters intentionally smash the stones of the opponents however Lord Zim did not anticipate it.
It was unbelievable that the younger looking hunter was using three stones all at once, commanding them perfectly, at the same time changing battle methods in the middle of attack. It was no more traditional battle.
Lord Zim brought another stone. In fact he thought to use three as well else the hunter might mock him at some point of battle. Thinking this he activated. Qiao did not show up the fourth stone because it was trump card for the time of final action.
He could see the worry of the traitor. It brought some understanding about his polished methods. Qiao was relieved to see that he could finally face experienced Hunter King at this level. No matter what it took; be it his overpowered body influencing the higher level stones or the his achievement in using four stones at once, it fairly increased his strength to stand firm in front of the opponent.
There were still few accomplishments which needed his attention however few higher level battles could polish such skills. Lord Zim activated third stone out of whim however when he actually faced the pressure, the veins on his forehead started seeping blood.
There was limit as to how much pressure the body of a hunter could absorb from the stones energy. Without tempering body to increase the limit none of the hunters could reach this feat. Qiao was the rarest hunter who started tempering his body from the first level of hunting.
Few hunters after level eight started thinking that they were invulnerable, that was only because they never met their competitor yet. When they accidently cross path they regret. The loyal beast that was hiding noticed that the master was caught in problem. It was ready t sneak attack from behind.
Currently everyone was focused at how the Lord Beast was helpless against hunter. Qiao did not reach his limit. Four stones were not his limit. He was tempering for the fifth.
To see the fear Qiao hastily guided his stones to change the sides. Now they were directed toward Lord Zim. The attack range suddenly altered which did not give enough time to the opponent stones for action. The energy wave fled toward Lord Zim.
This wave was ruthless; it charred the upper facial skin on the Lord beast also burnt the upper layers of the clothing. It happened in between the time frame that Lord Zim took to guide the stones otherwise.
It was frightening. Stones finally provided barrier for the opponent attack to stop however it made the traitor suffer hellish fear of death. The beasts at the distance were shocked to see this minute control of the hunter. They were forced to admire his extreme level battle methods.
These methods were not unheard however rarest that none ever witnessed until now. Such type of battle methods were fought between deep enmities. Only stronger yet old enemies could resort to such tactics without worrying the outcome of death in the end.
All those who happened to see Qiao during battle; they knew that it could be Qiao using brutal means no one else. Hiko was glad to see this last action. The arrogant Lord Beast was looking like roasted hunter. Hiko wished that Felon should have witnessed this sight before its death.
Lord Zim huffed, he was out of breath; the streaks of blood were dripping from his forehead. He was afraid that any moment the hunter might bring another stone or another battle method. His arms started trembling with the fear. The three stones were still active though.
Meantime the hidden beast came out for ambush from behind.
