My Last Hunt

Chapter 335: Level Battles 9

Level Battles 9

In the Third Sepedra

Son of Xura was maddened, he had been a true scalawag for few months and never let anyone escape no matter what. None of his enemies escaped alive. He was ruthless and merciless. He could go every extent but not face the defeat.

It was utmost humiliation that his worst enemy escaped in a blink of an eye. He was roaring the name of his enemy in the entire third Sepedra, his comrades were searching relentlessly. If he could, he might have blasted the whole place up to bring out the enemy into the open.

"He has escaped somewhere else." His comrade came back and uttered. 

At least for him, it was the most suitable situation however, for the Son of Xura it was different. 

"I know him and his attitude, he would never escape without facing us head-on. Qiao is aware of this hostility and he knew that it would not end by escaping it. He is still in the third Sepedra; I am sure about it." Son of Xura rumbled and kicked the nearest tree trunk. 

The trunk shackled from the roots, lurching towards the other side. His comrade nodded and went back for the very reason that the team leader was very confident about. 

Son of Xura started listening to the slow yet steady voices in the surroundings. He wanted to distinguish between the movement of humans and monsters. 

Qiao did not just dawdle. He was dead sure that enemy must have gone mad for losing his tracks suddenly. Fortunately, his selected path led him in front of the 'mad dog'.

"I wish you did not miss me." Qiao chuckled suddenly appearing in front. His enemy was startled and looked around, both fellows were not around. 

"So, you learned some new tricks?" Son of Xura voiced, sinisterly. He was not going to wait around for his comrades. 

Who knows if the sharp enemy suddenly disappears from his sight?

"If you call it a trick so, be it." Qiao shrugged his shoulders.

They were standing currently at the path where two streams separate. The distance between them exceeded about twenty feet.

"If you had been a little serene you might have understood that it was your fault back then, It was you who pushed the entire family into a dead end." Qiao voiced, drastically. 

Before this guy fell dead; Qiao wanted to tell him that he was in the wrong from the very beginning. 

"Don't tell me what is wrong for me and what is right for you." Son of Xura hated such hunters who always talk about useless rules of the hunting. 

"Since it is your choice" Qiao shook his head with disappointment. 

Son of Xura looked at him with abhorrence filled in his eyes. His only purpose was to kill the enemy and nothing else. There were three stones in his hand and immediately all of them lit and floated above. 

Qiao was slightly astounded at his coup. As rumored, the scalawags had been known to be stronger than normal hunters. The very reason was now in front of his eyes. Scalawags used all means to win against the enemy.

Qiao did not activate his stone immediately. The level seven weapon was ready to shack off the attack first. His weapon was unique and he could rely on it easily. Son of Xura did not keep the weapon after leveling the present level. In his eyes, only the weak hunters prefer to keep weapons after level six peaks. 

The dry and dull surrounding was an odd combination with the two separate streams at the same time. It looked like an action scene right out of a comic book. The first stone flung towards Qiao; he braced his feet on the ground, ready to counter the stone attack. 

The commanded stone collided against the tip of the weapon and then it redirected towards the other tip on the opposite side, reflecting the attack towards the stream. 

It was so smoothly done that until it was finished that none of the water creatures, sneaking from both the streams, had anticipated that it would explode on their heads. The water surface rippled forming a huge mountain of water. If it was only water, it might have not made a commotion but the creatures became a part of the clash. For Qiao, it was natural that the stream would spout for its disrespect and shoo away the intruders. 

Son of Xura was angered, seeing that Qiao did not change his attitude even a bit in the past few months. Now because of him; they will have accumulated annoyance to the creatures. 

Five or seven water creatures came out of the stream and looked at the two hunters facing each other. For them, it was none of their business to care about the grudge of these two low-keys. They were furious at the threat which rippled the water unruly. 

"You nonsensical hunters! Get out of here and battle wherever else you want!" Apparently, the stronger creature of level seven voiced, rudely.

Son of Xura was already stumped and the words of the creature proved as fuel to the fire. 

"Do not overuse your tongue, it can again lose the power of speech." The attack came on to the creature along with the toxic words. 

The creature furiously shunned off the attack still half of it brushed past the damp skin. The other creatures stood alert. 

Qiao hung his weapon around his waist. It seemed that directing the attacks at them angered the creatures, though the words of the other hunter were more toxic than the attack itself. One or two creatures attacked the rude hunter. 

Son of Xura was attacking Qiao in the meantime his two comrades joined back in. They were going to deal with the creatures, they could have changed their location but it was not the intention of the young hunter. He could not waste such an opportunity to work as a distraction. The creature attacked, the other hunter followed it and answered with a furious attack. 

Qiao also activated his stone. Son of Xura stood, glaring at him straight. He was not worried about the monsters or creatures. His attention was fixed on Qiao, thinking that perhaps he again wanted to escape. Qiao commanded his stone and the dull air shook with an impact in the surrounding.

The powerful stone blinded the eyes, and a scream was heard. Qiao was forced to move a step behind while controlling the stone. The scream was coming from the stone; it was the roar of the monster that bears this stone for several years. The creature halted for a few moments and the attack fell on the rude hunter. It was so vigorous that Son of Xura could not move from his place. Despite using three stones he couldn't face a single attack of the higher-level stone.

Qiao gave him a last chance but the enemy was not ready to hear him. He has no personal grudge against anyone as long as the enemies kept their distance. Coming to this world did not mean that he wanted to destroy half of the population at his whim. 

Yet the crooked should die.

Qiao was actually scared seeing the command of level eight stone. He was stunned and trying to compare the difference of level nine or level nine rare stone. He had to admit that it was beyond his imagination.

The place was filled with the extended clouds of the mixed brightness. The two fellows were standing agape when they saw that the attack directly fell on the team leader. They were scared and rooted on the ground hoping that the mischievous team leader should have used the bunch of stones hidden under his sleeve.

They were not ready to believe that it actually killed the team leader. Qiao stood waiting for the clouds scatter and the scene should clear up. The third Sepedra has grown accustomed seeing many creatures fighting with each other and making meal of lower level creature. It was after a long time that the hunters were battling each other.

Anticipation brought so many creatures as spectators of this battle. They were also very curious about the outcome. The clouds slowly decreased clearing the sight. Qiao also was not sure because the attack did not give a sense of threat after killing. Usually when a stone succeeded in true attack then it intentionally create stiffened air.

But when it rendered useless it did not bring any changes. It was a gesture still he was waiting patiently. If he was able to kill Son of Xura then he could gladly erase a name from the list of his enemies. This list was not bigger yet his enemies were equally ambitious so there was high chance that they will become headache if not addressed properly.

His grip on the stone increased thinking this. Qiao took deep breath and nodded seeing the clear sight which was expected.
