Nero, the Legendary Hunter - Chapter 108
Nero still didn’t understand why they were so happy. They did something maybe surprising, but still, they needed to be so happy and even throw a party in the whole city and even the mayor of the city came to honor them. However, soon the answers were answered.
The mayor of the town smiled with his teeth gleaming gold, and beside him was the first lady, she was a very young and pretty woman, in her 30s with black hair and blue eyes. She had a guitar body and a flawless smile.
“Thanks to you all, the city will receive a lot of prestige, and soon many tourists will come to our city, now many are already aware that our city’s dungeon was finished by a group of young people with potential; this attracted the attention of many Hunters. The Hunter Association has honored our city and will send more resources to our city. This is all thanks to you, thank you!” The mayor of the city was very honest and told them everything.
“Oh, that’s it, *degozaru*!” Jingu snapped his finger when he finally understood why they were even more vibrant than before.
With new features, it generates new opportunities. The city will have new tourists, they will prosper.
“But how did it happen so fast?” Jair frowned.
“Wow! You’re such a stupid little brother…” Jana shook her head in disappointment as she said, “How long have we been inside the dungeon after completing the 6th floor?”
“Ohh, true. We were meditating on the 6th floor.” Jair felt very stupid now.
Nero looked at the town’s mayor and said, “Okay, we’re glad we helped the town, and thanks for the medals and that amount of coin you can use to donate to the town’s orphanage. Right?”
“Yeah, I’m fine with that.” Choko didn’t even think. She had a lot of coins these days and didn’t need them. It was better to help whoever needed it.
“I don’t need it either.” Jair and Breno said they got new equipment with help from Nero who used <Plunder>. As she expected, she got many pieces of equipment, unfortunately, she didn’t get any bows and arrows, nor a spear, so Honda and Breno don’t have new weapons, but with the amount of money they had, they could buy better weapons at the city blacksmith.
And if indeed new features are going to come to town, they can look forward to good things to follow.
“By the way, I want to go back and change my armor first.” Jana and the rest commented.
“Yes, let’s go.” After saying goodbye to the town mayor and the rest, they left.
“Nero, are you going to another city?” Elsa asked after reaching her.
“Mm, after finishing the dungeon one more time,” Nero confirmed. They have already decided to go to a city with a Rank C dungeon.
“…Okay, I’ll go with you.” Elsa looked conflicted about something but still decided to follow Nero.
“Thank you…” Nero lowered his head and muttered. She still couldn’t be honest with Elsa, and it even made her feel shy, which was very rare, and quite unique.
A smile forming on Elsa’s expressionless face, she nodded and hugged Nero suddenly. Then she left without saying a word.
Nero was stunned but regained consciousness after Elsa left. She shook her head and sighed, thinking she was being too childish, however, it was something she couldn’t help while being around Elsa, she made Nero feel awkward…
After arriving at the inn, Honda and the rest went to change armor. Yui also got a new set of armor.
All were basically dragon part armor, which was pretty strong as it was at least Rank E+.
De Jana was red, made of fire dragon parts. It gave her more energy than other armor. Yui also wore armor similar to Jana’s, as she also used more fire and the full armor gave her more fire support. Jair and Breno used earth, they were more melee and earth armor had the greatest defense. Jingu also wore earth dragon armor, she looked very sexy even as she had a body with excellent curves and even though she didn’t show much skin, it made her better.
Honda was the only one that used the water one. For her, it was the best choice, the water one had more speed, which makes it excellent for her as an archer.
“These armors are fantastic! As you would expect from Nero’s luck, she got a lot of armor, hehe~” Honda chuckled: “I predict we won’t need to change armor anytime soon~”
“Mm, it might be faster than you think~” Nero said this and smiled. She believed that if they went to another city, they would still get good things, even though they had so few days left until enrollment at Hunter School.
From the boss, Nero got a pair of Rank D-boots. She gave it to Yui as it increases speed when running and the one Choko got from her was almost equal in status.
After changing, they returned. He even looked like a bunch of professional Hunters, in armor that was both intimate and beautiful at the same time. With red, blue, and brown dragon looks, they were drawing even more attention than before.
Many looked at them in awe and even waved and asked for autographs as if they were celebrities.
“I can’t believe we’ve become celebrities in this town, it feels like I’m dreaming.” Jana sighed. She was smart, but she didn’t have a lot of self-esteem, although now she’s been more confident, especially since she started dating Breno.
Breno and Jair always dreamed of being powerful Hunters and that kind of attention; unlike before the attention was all on Nero, it made them happy that even Breno who was less expressive was smiling quite often.
Of course, Jana was tending to the flies around Breno like a hawk. She even looked like Yui and Choko who kept scaring all the girls and boys who tried to approach Nero with ulterior motives.
After arriving in the dungeon, they entered directly, the guards already knew them and respectfully let them through.
After entering, Nero summoned her ‘pets’ and made them fight. Now they were all at the same level for the first time, being 19 rank D-.
‘Mm, having similar strength is best.’ Nero nodded with a pleasant smile.
She didn’t like the disproportionate way her summons were level.
Now, everyone could compete at the same levels, that is, if you are going to lose, it is because you are not trying hard. Oh yes, Nero liked to make her ‘pets’ compete with each other to see who did the most things and the champion would earn the right to be petted by her. Somehow, it made them feel motivated, even Gabi the Slime who got some intelligence and fought for it.
“Nero’s summoning monsters are getting more and more monstrous,” Honda said with a small smile.
“That pun was… Rough, degozaru~” Jingu chuckled.
“Better than talking clichéd things while looking at the sun~” Honda snapped and stuck his pink tongue out at Jingu.
“…So it was because of that!” Jingu finally understood, and after coming out of the stupor she added: “But I said something wise, didn’t I, degozaru?”
“You’re hopeless.” Honda gave up and put his hand behind his head and went directly up to the second floor directly.
The others did it anyway, the monsters were practically killed by Nero and all the bodies were collected by Yui who somehow liked to do this while flying. Or was she using it to practice, whatever the reason, she was pretty quick doing it.

It didn’t even take 30 minutes, and they already wiped out all the monsters up to floor 5. Now they were about to go up to floor 6.
“Mm, don’t start yet, let me try to tame a fire dragon first.” Saying this, Nero took the bow and arrow and a white arrow formed linked in sacred energy.
The arrow shot and wrapped around the fire dragon’s neck.
“I got!” Nero treated him like he was catching a fish and began pulling the fire dragon against his will.
When he got very close, Nero beat the dragon with not very hard punches and then said, “Accept it or else, I’ll keep hitting you!”
The fire dragon didn’t even fight, he shivered before Nero’s menacing eyes.
“Good boy.” Nero smiled and used: *<Tame Monster>!*
– –
The successful capture of the Reptile Monster [Fire Dragon] Rank E+: Level 18.
– –
“Hehe~” Nero chuckled as he saw the fire dragon disappear and appear inside the monster summoning room.
– –
[Reptile Monster [Fire Dragon] Rank E+: Level 18 – Was Summoned!]
– –
“As expected from Nero.” Choko hugged her and almost kissed her, but was pulled by Yui.
“If Yui can’t kiss, I won’t let him do it in front of me~” Yui stuck her pink tongue out at Choko when she saw her sulking.
“It’s not in the middle of our love, Yui understands, we’re both girlfriends, it’s normal to kiss,” Choko said he wanted her to understand and stop meddling.
“No, if you don’t let me be your girlfriend, I’ll keep stopping you, by the way, you two took a shower without me!” Yui puffed out her cheeks remembering and getting upset.
Nero approached Yui and whispered, low enough for only her to be able to hear, “If you really want to be my girlfriend, you have to love Choko too, if you can’t love Choko and make her love you, this will never work.”
“Oh…” Yui’s eyes sparkled in a different way. She looked at Choko for a few seconds and thought: ‘Can I start liking her? Mm… If Nero likes it, it shouldn’t be bad then…’
