"Come on old man give me more" "What more to give ,that is already highest I can buy that horn" "Okay ,but how about that skin it's almost in perfect condition". "What do you mean perfect condition, it's like it was bitten by a behemoth, just take your money and leave you lunatic" "Fine" I took the 5000 balc that was given by the old man, it's not a lot of money but it's not that low either. This kind of money is enough for a family of 3 to last a month if they live frugally. As a rank c hunter it was in the lower strata of earnings.

As I find my way back to my house I bump to a guy, a hunter ,"I'm sor-" I was about to apologize but he suddenly started running "Hm weird.. he must be on the rush".My house is a one storey house that is big enough for two people . In the past I have a room mate here but he died on the field, kind guy but we're not that close.

"No"...........I find my way to my bed and sleep.

The next day I go to the gate again to hunt on the field . I have no choice I only earn a little so I have to hunt everyday . Most of hunters are in a party but I hunt alone. That is good because I don't have to divide my earnings ."Identification" Said the gate keeper as I approach "Here" I smile as I give him my Hunters Card . He look at it and give it back again and then he let me through. After getting out of the gate I walk a little to the north until I see the sea. The field is on the sea and about a kilometer around it . most of C-B rank hunters hunt on the shore only A and above hunt in the water . It a unwritten rule because the monster on the water are behemoth that can't leave the water, weak hunter can die by a look from it let alone fight it.

I go to my usual hunting place . Its a rocky shore where armored bug can be found . It's not a very popular monster to hunt because of its hard shell that's why I'm usually alone in here most of the time . As I get nearer to the place where the monster gather I heard a muffled sound of weapons hitting the hard shell of the armored bug.

Clank!

With a confuse mind , I climb up the rocky terrain to see where the sound of fighting is coming from.Not far from where I was standing is a team of three hunters fighting a group of armored bug. One of them is a guy of with a sword, its clear that he is a "sword cultivator" from the east domain the other guy use a bow and a girl that seems to be a "magician" which are commonly from the west domain. It's obvious that they are struggling really hard because their attack were pretty useless against the bugs . The "Sword cultivator" continuously attack the bugs but his sword just bounce of the it's armor the archer can only provide a cover fire and cannot even land an arrow to the bugs the girl is casting her magic on the back line that appear to be a fireball . By how amateur they appear, as its basically common sense to know that bladed weapon is useless against a armored opponent, I conclude that they are newbies who are between rank F-E .

The number of the armored bugs is increasing ,as more are alerted of the sound of fighting, the newbies are going to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of bugs and there's a big chance for them to become bug food."Sigh...." Felling indignant I leap to them and pullout my weapons from my back. They are two batons stick that are about a meter long each, it's covered with my tribes symbol carve around it, A yak with a mountain on its back. "Retreat back " I said to the newbies sternly ,after saying this I leap above the bugs and smash my weapons on the back of the bug on the front

Bang! Crack~

,cracking sound can be heard as the hard armor on their back are destroyed exposing soft flesh underneath with another swing I squash the bugs to death and then proceed to attack the next one smashing it's back armor and killing it in seconds.

My fighting style is pretty straightforward, it's to swing this stick really hard and destroy my opponents with each swings, this the art the is unique to my tribe on the northern part of the thousand star peninsula. It's not as sophisticated and elegant like those cultivators art or have magical effect like those magician but it's art nonetheless and it does job just fine.

I have killed more than twenty of the bugs when I felt a slight shaking of the ground .

Cree~!

I turn my head and see a Armored bug knight that is at least three times bigger than the normal bug and have a pincer that can crush trees with it's grip. The bug knight is walking to me fast, it's clearly enraged after seeing me slaughter it's kin. I leap back to increase distance and activate my art.

The unique art of my tribe is called the avatistics art it's an art that allow us to make connections to our ancestors and create avatar based on them to borrow their powers . Every person on my tribe have a different avatar based on the ancestor in which that are more connected to. My avatar is in a form of a warrior covered on obscure markings and holding two batons sticks. after activating my avatar the muscles in my body bulged and turn slightly red , the power borrowed from the avatar flow like a stream giving me strength beyond normal means.

I leap toward the bug knight but with my enhance strength my jump is higher and faster. with the help of gravity I fall to the knight bug with my weapon in the striking motion, the knight bug raised it's pincers to meet my attack.

Boom!!

As my weapon struck the knight bug a loud bang can be heard like the sound of cannon and a loud cracking was heard after, this showed that my attack break through the defence of the knight bug. I used the rebound momentum to spin and land another attack but this time it's on the abdomen part of the knight bug. A huge crack appear on its shell but it did not break through so I swing again with a big wind up on the same place, this time it broke the shell and exposed the flesh of the bug knight , it tried to swing it's crack pincer at me but I have already leap back anticipating a counter attack from it . The bug knight miss and hit the ground instead this gives me a opening to land a finishing blow, I focus my strength on my arms making it appear to be a burning red and swing hard on the open flesh of the bug knight, my strike destroy it's flesh and the organs underneath it and send it flying back .
