Nero, the Legendary Hunter - Chapter 103
After Yui registered with the Hunter Association, and they updated the Hunter Card…
“I can’t believe that now I’m on Rank E+ it’s almost like I’m dreaming, degozaru,” Jingu thought in an exaggerated way, conveyed what most were feeling. Until recently, they were all rank F. The lowest rank of a Hunter.
“So be happy, it’s real.” Nero smiled and said.
That doesn’t stop them from admiring Nero, not because of her charm, in fact, she was very charming… wait, not that, they really are grateful and adore her, yes.
Nero turned to Yui and said softly, “I have some spare pieces of armor, Yui you can use in the dungeon when you go with us.”
“En.” She nodded obediently and hummed. Why was she so happy? Well, because she got so strong with the power Nero gave her. ‘Now that I stopped to think, I ‘gave’ wings to Nero and Nero gave me a new body and a lot of power, yes we are both very good friends and future girlfriends. But, Choko is boring, she doesn’t want to let me be her girlfriend too… I need to think of a way, maybe I should be Choko’s girlfriend too, but I just like Nero…’
Yui was obviously confused as she let her thoughts run wild.
The city setting was something new for Yui, where she remembered having lived, it was a poor village and she didn’t even have anything to eat and was even sold by her parents. So it was a surprise to see such a beautiful city, with well-made buildings and clean streets, and especially how people loved Nero. ‘Yes, Nero is amazing.’ Yui also agreed with what several said.
‘Now I’m thinking… That woman with long black hair was Nero’s older sister, yes? The one she said was going to save her, and she always talked about her, Mm, she helped Nero save me, I need to thank her, yes I’m very grateful to her, but I hate Nero’s other older sister, Errr, Eliane, yes, I remember Nera who now changed her name to Nero crying in the night asking why Elder Sister Eliane did this to me… Nero doesn’t know that, but I always felt sad when she had these nightmares and cried a little…’
‘Huh? What is this horrible feeling?’ Yui looked in the direction and saw a man walking with his face hidden by a cap of his jacket and walking with his head down. ‘This man is not a good person, I need to warn Nero!’
Before Yui opened her mouth, she noticed a smile on Nero’s face and forgot what she was going to say, she also realized that that suffocating sensation had passed and heard Nero mutter: “It worked, as I expected.”
‘She did it? Like?’ Yui opened her red eyes wide as she couldn’t hide her surprise.
Nero rubbed her head and said, “Stay here, I’ll talk to that ‘friend’, okay?”
Yui wanted to tell her not to go that it was dangerous, but it was too late, Nero disappeared in front of everyone, no one could keep up with her speed.
‘She took the man to heaven?’ Yui tried to find Nero and when she looked at the sky her vision could see Nero’s wings flap very fast, it was so fast that in a few seconds Yui lost sight of her.
“What happened?!” Everyone was stunned, but then Nero came back as quickly as he was gone.
“Mm, sorry about that, I went hunting a ‘mouse’ who was trying to cause trouble, well, well now it’s okay.” Nero gave a slightly predatory smile, but it was charming in the eyes of the beholder.
“Another killer?” Choko muttered.
“Yea.” Nero nodded and said coldly, “But it was just a mangy dog my sister breeds, it wasn’t strong, and it had a weak mind, it mustn’t even know how and when it died.”
‘This time she sent a Rank D assassin. Heh, I’m glad she is so proactive in offering fertilizer to my slime… Gabi is increasingly looking like a human, with the help of my dear ‘sister’ I’ll make it.’ Nero scoffed internally.
Even being people controlled by Eliane, Nero killed with indifference without shaking his emotions. Those who want to kill her must die, she wants to survive, not die. Stop living, and even give her a chance to try to kill her again.
After changing when arriving at the inn, Yui looked devilishly sexy in Nero’s old leather outfit, however, Nero made her wear an overcoat so as not to leave her body so exposed.
“Pretty?” Yui spun in front of Nero.
“Yes.” Nero nodded.
“Excellent!” Yui looked like he won the lottery when he heard Nero confirm.
Choko was going to say something, but it would be weird, because in fact, Yui was beautiful, as much as she hates to admit it, Yui was beautiful, it could be said that the second most beautiful woman Choko saw.

Back in the dungeon, Nero said: “The first floor, can you leave it to Yui to kill herself? She has never fought before, it would be nice if she had some experience before.”
“Fine by me~” Honda agreed in a whistling tone.
“No problem for us either,” Jana spoke for her, Jair and Breno.
“The same, degozaru,” Jingu relaxed his hands behind his head and gave a refreshing smile.
“I don’t care, I’d rather stay with Nero.” Choko hugged Nero’s arm and smiled victoriously at Yui.
“…I also prefer to be with Nero.” Yui was about to take Nero’s arm, but he heard Choko say.
“Are you sure? Nero did it for your own good, but are you going to reject it?” Choko asked seriously.
Yui froze. She looked at the cats and her dragon eyes turned mercury color with a slit in her eyes.
Her hands turned into claws, it was a battle mode skill called black dragon claws.
A pair of black-winged dragon-style wings, but fallen angel feathers appeared and she flew away.
Her speed was hampered, but little by little she got used to it, and with her claws she cut the cats that couldn’t even scratch her skin when attacking her.
She wasn’t proficient at actually fighting, she just randomly slashed cats, but she was strong, with 1500 points of strength, she only needed to scratch towards a tiger or lion, and the head, body, was all ripped to shreds.
A predatory smile forms on Yui’s face as she fights, she starts to have fun, maybe that’s because of the predatory instinct of the black dragon, but she felt her blood boil and the feeling of happiness pulsed in her came as teeth they get a little bigger, but not on a scary level, something like a vampire, just a little bigger on the fangs.
When she killed the boss just as easily as the others, she frowned and felt a slight disappointment, but it didn’t last long, she went back to Nero’s side and felt a little pain trying to hide her wings, but not as much as the first time, her hands also returned to normal as well as her teeth.
“Done.” She smiled.
“Well, you are quite capable.” Nero nodded, but added, “But make a mess, you’ll take it all on your own, I won’t.”
“Oh okay.” Yui didn’t care and started walking around the dungeon while picking up the remains with the Hunter Card. By the way, she was already taught to use the basics of the Hunter Card, so she was able to use it now.
After finishing, she came back.
“Okay, let’s go to the second floor,” Nero said. She was the only one who was feeling calm about this situation, but Jingu and the rest were open-mouthed.
“Sigh~ We got another powerful member, our group is becoming very powerful.” Honda sighed in astonishment but smiled afterward.
“That’s it. The stronger it is, the better, degozaru,” Jingu was simpler and wasn’t too surprised, she was just happy with Yui’s strength.
‘Oh, gorillas? They look more capable.’ Upon reaching the second floor, Yui rubbed her lip with her forefinger as she thought.
Nero summoned all her summoning monsters.
“Ohh!” This took Yui by surprise, which made her hug Nero in fright, yes, she did it because she was scared, not for any other reason.
“Yui, you did it on purpose, yes?” Choko suspected.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Reluctantly, she let go of Nero’s arm and looked at the summoned monsters.
Touching her lip again, she frowned, she didn’t know if they were strong or not, but she saw two gorillas in the middle. ‘Doesn’t that confuse them?’
To her, everyone looked the same, although she thinks the white gorilla is quite unique, while the other gorilla looks like the dungeon boss. In any case, she kept waiting, she didn’t know if she should start attacking or not.
“Mm, no need to wait, start attacking, and now, I don’t want Monster Cores below level 12.” Nero said.
“Ohh, so we can keep level 11. Mm, that’s cool somehow.” Jana smiled. She starts to summon fireballs and attack. With her current strength, she needed to create small solid balls and attack. She tries to imitate Nero with the arrows, but she can only get a maximum of 10 fireballs at the same time and attack, but she can keep doing that in 5 seconds, so it’s not bad.
“Is it over yet?” While Yui was lost in her thoughts, the fight was already over.
“Well, they are weak.” Nero shrugged: “Let’s go to the third floor.”
“En.” After she saw everyone move quickly and pick up the bodies from the ground, Yui saw how professional they were. In less than 1 minute they killed and collected the bodies, ‘How used are they to doing this? Yui needs to try harder!’
