X-Rank Hunter - Chapter 33: Jannes And Jambres (1)

“Damn! That woman is crazy!” A certain someone from the crowd exclaimed in horror.

“Thankfully, we managed to trap her somehow, and ‘he’ and the five Demon Captains and a few hundred soldiers are keeping her on check!” Another certain someone from the crowd responded in gratitude.

“Yeah, almost half of our soldiers were already been annihilated not too long after she entered the ‘Middle World’, thankfully we have three Demon Knights with us and have prepared a trap against humans in advance, or else we might all as well already been annihilated.” Another one responded in horror.

They really were frightened of the woman who attacked them earlier…

Just below the portal, more than a hundred Semi-Demons were already gathered around. And their rank? It was unidentified. But one thing was certain, they were all Semi-Demons!

Most of them were clad in dark grey and light grey armor but there were eight of them that were wearing black armor.

Different kinds of commotion could be heard everywhere. But one thing that was in common in what they were spouting was that, “That woman is crazy!”

There were also three of them with a completely different aura exuding out from them, gazing warily to the village before them.

Those three were not wearing any kind of armor but instead, they were clad in some sort of garments and beast skin that were enough to cover their most private parts.

Two of them seemed to be a male, and the other one was a bewitching woman. The purple color of their skin was much lighter than the rest of the Semi-Demons and their vibes were completely different from them.

It was much dangerous.

There were also no tails on their ass.

The bewitching woman, despite the color of her skin, it didn’t hinder her beauty to surface in front of everyone.

The garments that were resembling a flower that was covering her chest and shoulders, and the garments that were resembling a leaf that was covering her lower parts, revealed her slim waist and her voluptuous body.

Even humans would find it hard to turn their gaze away from her.

Slightly above on her attractive navel, there was a mark written diagonally on it, and that was “666”.

Beyond her attracting beauty, was an utter coldness that was causing a chill in her wake.

“Those two seem pretty strong.” The woman uttered in wary, gazing at the two humans standing in front of the village gate.

“Oh come on Vanessa, they are just humans, what’s there to fear?” One of the three Semi-Demons that were different from the rest spoke in arrogance, looking down on humans.

His upper body wore nothing and was revealing his fairly big muscles. He seemed pretty tall and his arms and back were covered in scales. There was only some sort of beast skin that was covering his lower part. From the looks of it, it was a snakeskin.

When he revealed a grin, his fang was revealed as well, as if it was thirsting to bite and rip human flesh apart already.

“Yeah, big brother is right, what’s there to fear from a puny human like them?” The other Semi-Demon immediately agreed to his brother.

That Semi-Demon was almost the same as the other one. Be it his figure, facial and body features or the way they dress were completely the same. One could obviously notice that they were twins.

The only thing that was different from them was that the elder brother had an earring on his right ear that was resembling like a fang and the younger one was wearing it on his left ear. Another thing was that the elder brother had a mark of “666” on his right chest and the other one had it on his left.

They both were thirsting for blood and were excited to attack the village before them. If not for the woman not giving out an order, they had probably long made a move.

“Enough!” Vanessa uttered in coldness, “You two stay on alert, and stop looking down on humans.”

“Ugh, come on, we are just having fun here. Don’t be a killjoy.” The elder brother complained.

“Yeah, Don’t be a killjoy!” The younger brother immediately supported his brother’s claim.

“Shut up!” Vanessa stared at both of them in coldness as if she was ready to kill them at any moment.

“Tsk!” The two quieted down in displeasure as they gazed to the village before them instead.

“Oh damn, there’s a lot of them!” Near the gate, Sam who was standing in there and watching the occurrence exclaimed in disbelief. He really was regretting the fact that he wanted to beat up someone.

He then turned his gaze to the village to look for the Hunters who were able to fight as he bellowed, “Those who can fight and ready to die, come out! Oh right, B-ranks and below are not allowed to participate except when we are in a dire situation!”

Immediately, several Hunters came out of the village. There were at least 50 of them. At least 40 were A-rank and the other 10 who were unleashing a completely different vibe were surely an S-ranks.

Sam scanned the hunters who came out from the village gate and were gathering around. Just by looking into their eyes, Sam could tell that they were all ready for the order at any moment.

Nodding in satisfaction, Sam then turned around and gazed at the many Semi-Demons that were bustling just below the portal.

“You can touch any of those Semi-Demons, except those three.” Sam grimly pointed out the three Semi-Demons that were completely different from the rest of them as he continued, “Remember, avoid them at all cost!”

“Yes!” The crowd immediately responded or at least, most of the A-ranks. Even they themselves already knew what to do.

Those three were monsters and they knew full well that they were not as simple as a Semi-Demon.

Knowing that his teammates were all ready, Sam then commanded, “Now then, let’s begin the brawl!!!”

Immediately, after Sam gave an order, he disappeared to where he was standing only to appear right in front of the three Semi-Demons.

“Hey, girl! Your mine!”

Knowing that the bewitching woman was the strongest, Sam immediately gave the other party a vicious punch. As if the wind was going to rip apart, incredible force leaked out from his fist.

Sam really thought that the woman was as good as dead this time but to his disbelief, the man beside the woman immediately appeared in front of the woman and caught his fist with the other party’s bare hand.

“Hey! Hey! You’re not worthy to touch our princess you know!” A wide grin surfaced on his face as he caught the other party’s hand. He then grabbed it tightly and threw Sam to the ground.

Bagsak!

As if a huge meteor had fallen from the sky, a huge crater came into sight.

Kwaak!

Sam spurted out a mouthful of blood for the sudden onslaught of the other party.

“Ugh, damn it! That tickles!” Sam let out a fuss as he wiped the blood that was coming out from his lips with his hand.

But it didn’t end there. He was yet to stand up when he found the other party standing right beside him with a bright smile as he heard him saying, “Yes, I’m just tickling you before. Don’t worry it’s a good warm-up.”

After which, he raised his leg and immediately tried to slam it to the other party’s belly. Luckily, Sam was able to dodge the ferocious attack by rolling on the ground in frenzy.

Standing up in a hurry, Sam was just about to counter-attack when a foot immediately obstructed his view. It went without saying, Sam was sent flying deep inside the woods by the other party’s vicious kick.

“I will go and play with him in there, you two stay here.” The one who fought Sam said in excitement as he immediately left the area, afraid that his prey might escape!
