The atmosphere fell into silence after hearing the Dragonoid speak in an unknown foreign language, it sounded both strange and frightening.

Zhigang who had a serious expression on his face began to analyze the creature in front of him right now. In Zhigang's vision, the magical energy emitted by the creature was truly an insane amount.

'The amount of magic energy possessed by this dude really cannot be underestimated, there is no doubt that the amount of magic energy has exceeded 100,000, which means that the half-dragon creature in front of me is currently at the same level as the High-End S-Rank Dungeon Boss like Kamish.' Zhigang thought.

According to the Magic guidebook created by the Central Hunter Association, the amount of magic energy emitted by the Gate is the total amount of magic energy possessed by the Magic Beasts or living beings in it, not including Magic Crystals or special Magic Items that can be found inside Dungeons because they are basically inanimate objects.

Fluctuations in their Magic Energy were not emitted outside the Gate, but the stronger the Boss of a Dungeon, then automatically the resources inside would also be abundant, and vice versa.

Zhigang then tightened his grip on the hilt of his dual swords and looked at the other Hunters who looked scared.

'Can I win against him alone while protecting them? ... I don't think so. '

The dragonoid then walked slowly towards the Hunter who reflexively stepped back.

"[ Fear, Do you feel afraid when you see creatures at the top of the food chain?] "

The Dragonoid still spoke in a foreign language that did not originate from earth, and it made everyone confused because none of them understood the words of the Dragonoid.

" ... "

" It seems like you guys will understand better if I speak with this language. "

Surprisingly, the Dragonoid spoke in English so that it could be understood by the Hunters because even though the Language of Monsters could be learned but Magic Beasts who has enough intelligence to speak in Human Language were very rare.

"Since you all understand my words, I want to ask one thing before I kill you all."

The dragonoid then raised his hand up and showed an object shaped like a transparent blue magic crystal that emitted faint light. The dragonoid doesn't look in a good mood right now.

"Who is the bastard who used to use this thing to open the Gate by force? Answer me!"

However, no one answered the Dragonoid's question, because basically they had no idea what he meant. While Budi who heard the Dragonoid's words widened his eyes.

'Forcibly opening the Gate? Can such a thing really be done? ' Budi thought.

While Zhigang who was still standing in his place also thought.

'... if it can really be done then who is the fool to do such a thing? What advantage does he get by betraying humanity ... '

The Dragonoid was a little annoyed because no one answered his question, but he regained his composure.

"Well whatever, after all this has happened, thinking about it further will only be a waste of time. After all, after I killed all of you here, there will be no witnesses talking about this."

The dragonoid then threw the object in his hand to the side and clenched both fists.

Zhigang who saw that immediately crossed the dual swords in his hand and shouted at Budi who looked stunned beside him.

"Budi, I'll take care of this dragon-head bastard, so can I entrust the three Wyverns to you?"

Budi who heard it looked at Zhigang with a look of terror, fear could be clearly seen in his black eyes. Zhigang couldn't blame him, after all, this was the first time they had seen a monster with such strength.

'Did I put on this expression when facing Kamish a few years ago? ' Zhigang thought.

"Hey Zhigang, can you tell me ... is my decision to move forward wrong? Am I making the wrong decision again as a leader?" Budi asked.

The gaze he gave was not fear of death, but fear that people would die because of his mistakes and incompetence

"As I said before, this is our own decision to continue following you, don't get me wrong Budi, we are not in this place because of your orders, well you do hold a key role to increase the motivation of others including me, but do you think we don't have sense of humanity in us? "

Hearing Zhigang's answer, Budi smiled.

"I see, I'm sorry for doubting you guys."

Zhigang was silent for a moment before he stared at the Hunters who kept stepping back as the Dragonoid approached.

"Then I will leave them all to you."

* cling *

Right after he said that, Zhigang's body immediately emitted a red aura which was blazing like fire. The red aura was the fluctuation of magic energy possessed by Zhigang, the amount continued to increase at an incredible pace and in an instant had almost matched the amount of magic energy possessed by the Dragonoid.

* Fwuosh *

Looking at Zhigang, the Dragonoid grinned and pointed his index finger towards Zhigang.

"You are a worthy opponent! I feel it from inside your body, the power of Ruler that you have. You are a worthy opponent for a dragon like me, the race in the pinnacle of a pyramid that includes every living organism on this world, to-"

Ignoring the Dragonoid's words, Zhigang then began to walk towards him casually, his eyes shining indicating that he was ready to fight it out.

"Yeah, yeah, i got it. It's raining so can we just fight right away?"

*flash*

* fwuosh *

In an instant, Zhigang turned into a reddish light and drove towards the Dragonoid with terrifying speed.

* clang *

The sound of an iron clang could be heard when Zhigang's sword swing was stopped by the Dragonoid using his bare hands, even though the scales on his hands did not look scratched at all.

But Zhigang did not give the Dragonoid the slightest time to attack him, he twisted his body in the air and sent a deadly slash using his left hand.

"Zhuǎn zuǒ!"

* swing * * fwuosh *

However, the Dragonoid quickly avoided Zhigang's attack and did not let the slash hit his neck just like that, because after his first attack, Zhigang was able to estimate how much power was needed to injure the creature in front of him.

After he dodged with a slight squat, the Dragonoid then gathered magic energy in his left fist and sent a huge blow to Zhigang's stomach.

"Surprise!"

* bump * * boom *

The Dragonoid's punch was so powerful that it created a shock wave that even instantly cleared the raindrops that were falling around it.

* fwuosh *

After his body was hit, Zhigang was immediately blown back and the Dragonoid immediately glided and followed him with incredible speed.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the battle between the ' monsters ', the battle was really on a different level. However, even though the Dragonoid was fighting with Zhigang, it didn't mean that they were safe right now, because in front of them there were terrifying Magic Beasts who were ready to kill them all. Wyverns.

"Everyone, arrange the formation !!"

Budi breaks the silence by shouting to the Hunters who are still stunned. However, when the person controlling them had left, the Wyverns who had previously floated in the air calmly began to lose control.

"Raaaaagh !!!"

A deafening roar rang out, the three Wyverns then began to flap their wings and glide toward the sky. Budi who saw it looked up.

'Did they run away? Why did they go upstairs? 'thought Budi. Suddenly he realized something.

' Is it possible... '

"Raaaaagh !!!" The Wyverns flying above the sky roared very loudly. Seeing that, Budi then stretched out his hands towards the line and shouted.

"All tanks, air attack coming !!!" Budi shouted, the tanks that heard it immediately lifted their shields up.

* Klang *

"Taunt !!" One of the Tanks uses himself as bait by using a special Tank skill that allows the user to attract enemies to attack him, Taunt.

But unfortunately, the Wyverns with higher levels of power could only be affected for a moment by the effects of Taunt. But the Fighter had swiftly appeared and attacked the Wyverns.

* clang * * clang *

The sound of an iron clang could be heard as the blade of one of the Fighter tried to hold one of the Wyverns by slashing the muzzle.

Budi who saw that then immediately ran and jumped to assisst the Fighter, his stocky body made a tinge and his expression became violent.

"Aaaaaa !!!"

* fwuosh * * clang *

Budi launch a slash using his machete, his hand swinging looks very frightening and precise on the forehead of the Wyvern.

* crack *

Budi widened his eyes.

' What? My attack can only make the scales slightly cracked? Besides that he paused for a moment when I shouted earlier, don't tell me ... '

Feeling pain in his forehead due to the attack from Budi, the Wyvern then roared in pain and quickly swung its large hand to hit Budi's body like it was hitting a fly.

* bump *

"Ack!"

Budi who was thinking about something did not have time to avoid the attacks from the Wyvern, he vomited a pinch of blood and felt all his bones shifted just because of one physical attack from the Wyvern that could even injure the body of an S-Rank Hunter like him.

Budi's body is then blown far back. Seeing that, the woman Hunter who was always with him shouted loudly.

" Sir!!! "

"Don't break the formation, the attack from the air is coming !!! Sounds, disrupted his sense of hearing, Agnis !!!"

Said Budi, who was even able to give a command when his body had been flung into the distance.

Hearing that, Agnis immediately looked up.

"Raaarghhhhhh"

She saw one of the Wyverns who had just come from above opening his mouth wide and a solid fireball formed, seeing that Agnis remembered Budi's words.

'Sound ...'

* buuz *

Then the fireball is fired into a plasma beam with a very hot temperature that can even evaporate raindrops in its surroundings in an instant.

* boom *

But the power of an S-Rank Hunter who has Tank class cannot be underestimated, such a Beam can be stopped by the shields of the Tanks. Even so right now the command center of the Attack Force was temporarily empty, it was fatal.

Agnis looked around, and the Hunters seemed to doubt what to do next, they could have acted individually and fought without teamwork, after all it was quite natural for an S-Rank Hunter, but they were not stupid. The enemy they face right now is an S-Rank Magic Beast, fighting without a well-planned plan and organized Attack Force is a very stupid move.

Agnis who saw that clenched his fists before shouting.

"Don't Panic! We will continue to follow what Mr. Budi has instructed, the Mages prepare a Debuff Spell that can disrupt their sense of hearing! The rest will use lightning-based spells."

Hearing that, the Mages nodded and immediately understood quickly about their current situation. There is no prestige, being a Hunter is their profession, and they all must be professional in carrying out their profession.

Because no matter who leads, if it's for the common good, then it's not a problem.

Then the Mages who had finished cast their spells began firing lightning-based attacks and Debuff's attacks towards the Wyvern.

"Unheared!"

* Bipp *

One of the Mages from Indonesia who was seen wearing a wand that was shorter than the others, turned the surrounding magic energy into green ultrasonic waves.

And in a flash ...

"Raaaaargh." Wyvern who was maneuvering and trying to attack them immediately roared in confusion.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

They then began flying without a clear direction as if they were in the dark. Seeing that, everyone widened their eyes.

"It worked ..."

"Yes, it works, I did not think if they used sound as their main navigation, much like a bat." Murmured Agnis, still not believing that it all worked.

"You are so great that you can realize that, Miss Agnis," said another Healer besides Agnis who was healing a Fighter who had been injured by a Wyvern attack earlier. Hearing that praise, Agnis shook her head.

"No, Mr. Budi was the one who realized that, he was indeed a great person," Agnis said, then he saw that the Mages had finished casting their other spells.

"Fire !!"

"" "Thunderbolt!" ""

The three Mages who had been assigned to take care of each Wyvern said with attack before firing their spells. The rumble of thunders could be heard and fired towards each Wyvern.

* rumble * * Zap *

'Gotcha !! '

"Rarrrggggh !!"

Thunderbolts fired by the Mages managed to hit Wyvern's body and cause them to roar in pain, their bodies looking scorched like a burning bird. However, there was one Wyvern that managed to avoid the attack right after its regained its senses of hearing.

It spread Its wings and flapped very fast, it turned and glided towards the formation, trying to destroy them from below.

"Attack from the side, Tanks, Blockade!"

"Rarrrghhh !!"

* clang *

"It won't use its plasma Beam, this is bad! he'll only use pure physical attacks !!" said one of the Tanks.

Hearing that, Agnis widened her eyes, and before she could do anything, Wyvern's hard body had struck the shield of the Tanks very hard.

* bump * * sraaak *

The tanks were pushed back, but they desperately stuck their feet into the muddy ground to protect the Healers and Mages. Because they are a vital position in team fights.

If the Healer and Mage of an Attack Force have been defeated or killed, then the coordination of the next attack will be disheveled and useless.

"Therefore, we will not allow you to advance any further, you bastard !!"

"Aaaaaa !!!"

However, before the Fighter could move to attack the Wyvern, it opened Its muzzle that had entered between the defenses, and a compressed fireball was formed, ready to be fired into a Plasma Beam.

* buzz *

Seeing that, everyone widened their eyes, because if they were really hit by the attack, then there was no doubt their bodies would evaporate.

'We are done ...' That is the only thing on everyone's mind when they see their death.

"Everyone, get away !!!" Agnis shouted in panic, but suddenly a voice could be heard.

"One-Thousand-Fold !!!"

* bump * * boom *

The sound of an explosion echoed in the air as Budi's figure suddenly appeared and attacked the head of the Wyvern who tried to fire the Plasma Beam from his mouth. Fluctuations in the magic energy in Budi's body have changed and his body is seen emitting a terrifying amount of magic energy.

"Mr. Budi !!!" everyone's faces brightened when they saw the figure of Budi who appeared suddenly like a hero.

"Raarrrghhh !!"

The Wyvern's head was brutally thrown to the ground very hard by Budi's slash and made it roar in pain.

* crash *

The sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly, the muddy ground splashing the air as Wyvern's head was knocked to the ground by Budi. But it did not stop there, Budi was seen trying to use his strongest attack for the second time, he gripped his machete using his right hand, and magical energy began to accumulate in his blade.

"One-Thousand-FO-"

* Fwuosh * * Spurt *

However, before he could swing his right hand, another Wyvern came and ferociously pounced on Budi's right hand and made it cut off.

"Eh?" Budi could only widen his eyes as he tried to process what had just happened.

"Raaaaargghhh !!"

Fresh blood flowed from Budi's right hand which had been cut off and the look on his face in pain could be clearly seen on his face, the atmosphere became quiet, and Wyvern who previously devoured Budi's right hand immediately turned around and this time tried to eat Budi's entire body completely.

"Raaaaaaaarrrgh !!"

But Agnis shouted.

"Stop that Wyvern !!!"

* Buzz *

Suddenly the air shook and the world became silent for a moment.

* BOOM *

* spurt *

A blue light suddenly appeared and cut everything about it, including the bodies of the Wyverns who tried to devour Budi and attack them beforehand.

Whether it was coincidence or not, the Wyverns who were in a straight line when the light was fired were killed instantly when their bodies were cut like knife through the butter by the blue light.

Not only that, even the blue light made a large trench that extends to the edge of the island, and evaporated a puddle of rainwater in an instant.

"Eh? What was the light just now?"

The Hunter who saw that could only stand stunned in their place, because they were shocked and still trying to process what had just happened before their eyes.

"What is it?" One of the Hunter from Indonesia pointed to the right and there were seen two red and blue lights were fighting fiercely.

"That's Mr. Zhigang, is he fighting with that dragon-headed creature?"

"Yeah, it is a battle that we cannot disturb at all. Because if we do, we will die before we realize it."

Hunters from China and Indonesia were stunned when they saw the battle between Dragonoid and Zhigang. Even the speed of the two of them had been at a terrifying level.

"Rather than that, have we won this time?"

Said one Hunter, the other Hunters who heard it then turned their attention to the body of the Wyverns who were seen being cut into minced meat by the previous blue light.

"Yes, it seems so ... I still can't believe we just passed that nightmare."

Some people then can only fall and sit on the ground, because they feel their feet can no longer support their bodies after a relentless fight against the waves of Magical Beasts that come out of the Gate for an entire hour.

Meanwhile, Agnis had run as hard as she could and approached one of the corpses of Wyvern lying there. Above the head of Wyvern, Budi was seen lying helpless in a pathetic condition.

His right hand had been cut off and blood continued to flow out, his right body suffered severe burns due to exposure to waves of blue light which cut through the body of the previous Wyverns. His breathing faltered as if he could die at any time.

"* cough *"

" Mr. Budi!! "

Agnis immediately leapt over Wyvern's enormous head to see Budi's condition, because as a Healer she might be able to heal Budi's wounds.

And when Agnis arrived beside him and saw Budi's condition, she could only widen her eyes.

'No ... way, how come the wound could be this bad. '

Without wasting time, Agnis immediately squatted beside Budi and opened the bag containing magic items.

"Hold on sir, I will definitely heal your wounds."

Agnis was then seen removing two transparent bottles containing red and blue liquid in each bottle. A bottle filled with red liquid is Healing Potion while a bottle filled with blue liquid is Magic Potion.

"Mr. Budi, please drink this healing Potion."

Agnis then tried to give his Potions bottle to Budi, but Budi raised his left hand that was burned and stopped Agnis.

"Stop that * cough * Agnis."

"Huh?" Agnis stopped and widened her eyes.

"Stop that ... you don't need to give that thing to me, give it to the other injured Hunter."

"B-but why?"

"* cough * Do you think a wound like this can still be healed? Even with your healing abilities, my right hand can't grow anymore, in the end I will become a useless old man who troubles everyone."

Agnis shook her head, she wanted to say that what Budi said was not true, but she could not.

"Besides, I don't think dying like this is bad. Even after the many mistakes I made in my life caused many casualties, God still allowed me to die like this."

"I saved you and can proudly say that my life so far has not been in vain. Although I know that the good that I have done will not be comparable to the mistakes I have made in the past, but at least I can admit my mistakes right now."

Budi then seen smiling happily towards Agnis, but Agnis who sees the smile feels her heart break to pieces.

"So at least please let me die like this, a death that can at least make me proud, as a Hunter and as a Father"

Agnis who heard that did not know what to do, she was in a dilemma, she wanted to save Budi even if Budi managed to survive later, then he certainly would not be able to become a Hunter again. But on the other hand, she did not want to reject Budi's last request.

Agnis looked down, tears began to run down her cheeks, she gripped the hem of her robe tightly, Budi who saw it raised his hand and stroked Agnis's head.

"Don't cry like that, do you want to make me sad at the end of my life?"

"B-but if you are not there, then there will be no more suitable person to fill the position of chairman of the Hunter Association, without you then the Hunter Association will not be the same anymore, me too, i ..." Agnis stopped.

"What are you talking about, isn't there you and Ardian who are ready to replace me at any time? Both of you I already consider to be my own children, so there's no way you will find it difficult to do tasks that even a lame person like me can do."

Agnis tried to hold back her tears, but it was unbearable. Budi is a figure who has been a role model for a long time, he is the second father figure for her, her loss is impactful for Agnis.

"Then it's time for me to leave, always remember this Agnis ... in the future, your enemies will not only be monsters that come from other worlds, but humans themselves ..."

When he said that, Budi thought about the words of the Dragonoid just a moment ago.

'That's right, if what the creature says is the truth, then humanity will face a threat that is more frightening than Monsters, namely human itself. '

Budi then coughed before continuing.

"... Your struggle and Ardian will be very hard going forward, but I'm sure you can get through it all, so I entrust Indonesia with you ... So, can you promise me, sweetheart?"

* cough *

After he said that with a smile, Budi immediately lost his consciousness and died on the spot.

Seeing that, Agnis widened her eyes, she fell silent, then looked down and hugged Budi's hand tightly while trying to hold back her tears.

"Yes ... I promise, father."

*

* clang * * clang * * clang *

In the distance, Zhigang and Dragonoid were still fighting fiercely, neither of them relaxed their attacks. Zhigang kept twisting his body in the air and sending slashes after slashes towards the Dragonoid.

But the Dragonoid only needed to use both of his fists to fend off Zhigang's attacks, and occasionally attack him.

"Yòu zhuǎn !!"

Zhigang twisted his body to the right and sent a slash using both of his swords at once.

* swing *

However, when his sword was inches away from the Dragonoid's body, white steam suddenly emerged from between his scales that blinded Zhigang's vision.

* casssp *

"I'm behind you !!"

In an instant the Dragonoid was behind Zhigang and sent a very powerful punch right to his face. However, Zhigang already released his grip on the sword in his right hand and opened his palm like he was grasping something.

He then murmured.

"Dominator's Touch." Then, his right hand began to emit a unique red aura, it was different from ordinary magic energy.

Dominator's Touch, is a secret technique that is only possessed by the National Level Hunter, and maybe some other people who have power approaching them. This technique is a technique that allows its users to have power similar to Psychokinesis, which is can move an object without touching it.

This technique is called a secret because only a few people know of its existence, because of its frightening power this technique is kept secret from the public.

In that short amount of time, the Dragonoid punch was suddenly stopped by a kind of invisible energy. Feeling that familiar energy, the Dragonoid widened its eyes.

"So this is the form of strength of a Ruler used by humans, huh. Interesting-"

But before he could finish his words, Zhigang's red eyes glowed and ferociously swung his two swords in a cross.

"Jiāochā!"

* swing * * spurt *

The dragonoid widened his eyes as he saw the two Zhigang swords successfully penetrating the thick scales after hundreds of fruitless efforts. But instead of getting angry, the Dragonoid just grinned.

" Very interesting!! "

* tap *

He then twisted his arms, grabbed Zhigang's elbows and then slammed him to the ground very hard and made the ground underneath crack before breaking.

* crack * * boom *

"Haha, how is it?" The Dragonoid smiled broadly as it felt that it had succeeded in making Zhigang injured, but suddenly it felt a terrifying killing intent from behind him, which made his whole body shiver.

"Huh?"

"Demon Arts ..."

When Zhigang said that, his presence suddenly changed completely which even surprised the Dragonoid. Sensing danger coming from Zhigang, the Dragonoid then compressed the surrounding magic energy and created a kind of light blue Orb in the palm of its hand.

"I never thought I would have to use this technique twice just to fight a human," muttered the Dragonoid.

However, Zhigang whose body was currently only dominated by the desire to kill did not heed the words of the Dragonoid and rushed towards it to launch an attack.

However, the Dragonoid had been seen stretching out its hand and preparing to fire the magic energy ball in its hand which had previously managed to cut Wyvern's body easily.

"Dragon Aura, *******"

The dragonoid began to speak a faint voice in the language of monsters. However, just before he could fire his attack, Zhigang muttered.

"Dominator's Touch."

* wap * * buzz *

An invisible energy pulled the Dragonoid's right hand upward so that it made his attack miss and instead aimed at the sky. Seeing the figure of Zhigang who looked like a demon, the Dragonoid who was still grinning could only widen his eyes and curse.

"F * ck."

"... Continuous Strike !!!"

Zhigang shouted loudly and began to swing his vicious slash towards the Dragonoid, his body spinning like a Beyblade and moving with crazy speed.

* slash * * slash * * slash * * slash *

The sound of steel splitting through the air was heard, making a series of beautiful melodies in the air. The slash after slash that was launched by Zhigang cut the ground, cut trees, and even destroyed a large rock, his attack was very destructive.

"Ack!" The dragonoid vomited blood, as his stocky, scaly body seemed to be full of slashes.

'This person, he is very strong, although he only gained a little strength from the Ruler but his strength has already reached this high, it seems like this form won't be able to deal with him. '

Zhigang then kicked the Dragonoid's stomach very hard, and then completely changed the stance.

"Demon Arts: Final Strike!"

Then, using air as his footing, Zhigang turned into a reddish light and glided towards the Dragonoid with incredible speed and tried to end this battle with a final strike. But...

"True Form." When the Dragonoid said that, suddenly the magical energy emitted by its body jumped dramatically and caused a shockwave around it.

* buzz *

But that did not slow down Zhigang in the slightest, he ferociously headed towards the Dragonoid without realizing that the wound on his body had regenerated very fast and he had clenched the fist in his right hand which emitted such intense magic energy.

"Aaaaaa !!!" Zhigang shouted and the Dragonoid just said.

"Dead!"

The two energies then collided and the world became silent for a moment, before the sound of a big explosion could be heard throughout the island.

* BOOM *

Dazzling light could be seen by everyone, including the hunters who were resting after a long battle before. Agnis who was moving Budi's dead body muttered.

" What is that? "

*

After the explosion was completed, a large crater with a diameter of about 30 meters was formed, and in the middle of the crater was seen Zhigang lying with a body full of blood.

But if you look closely, the blood comes not from external wounds, but from internal wounds. That was a side effect of using Demon Arts used by Zhigang before.

Demon Arts is a traditional martial technique from China that has existed for thousands of years. It was a forbidden martial technique that could make the users go beyond their limits and release 120% of their strength.

In modern times like now, this technique is almost extinct. Only certain people who still know or even master this dangerous technique. One of them is Zhigang.

"* cough *"

Zhigang vomited blood, and breathed breathlessly. He lost badly for the first time after becoming a National Level Hunter.

"Aaah ~ it looks like I'm going to die here, huh." Said Zhigang.

Meanwhile, the Dragonoid in front of him was also no better. Even after he opened his True form, his fist was still seriously injured due to the ultimate attack from Zhigang just now.

"Hah ... Hahahaha."

Hearing Zhigang's words, the Dragonoid burst out laughing which of course made Zhigang confused.

"This is the first time anyone besides milord can corner me like this, you get my respect. Human."

"Is that so, you talk like that when your body looks fine, it seems like the myth about the Dragons is the truth, you are really very arrogant creatures," said Zhigang.

When the Dragonoid started walking towards Zhigang, he suddenly felt something and immediately turned towards the Gate. The dragonoid then felt the magic energy emitted by Gate slowly decrease constantly.

"Looks like my time in the human world is over ... That was a very pleasant battle for humans, and since you have managed to keep me entertained, then I will let you live. Before I leave, tell me your name human!"

"Liu ... Zhigang."

The Dragonoid then turned to the side.

"Liu Zhigang, my name is Mirdgardver, one of the three berserk dragons. At the next meeting, we will fight it out until one of us dies, that day will surely come, so see you later, Liu Zhigang."

After saying that, Mirdgardver then grew wings on his back before he began flying towards the gate at full speed, leaving Zhigang lying alone there.

"Yeah, then I will definitely not fail to kill you next time *cough* *cough* "

***

Meanwhile, on a hill in the distance. Seen three people who were standing while looking at the conditions around them, they were an evacuation team consisting of Ardian, Tiara, and also a Hunter from Japan, a middle-aged man named Shirogami Heisatsu.

Sensing a surge of magical energy that dropped dramatically, Ardian looked back.

"That ... the size of the Gate is slowly shrinking, has the attacking team managed to kill the Boss?" Ardian muttered.

Heisatsu who felt the same way said in fluent English.

"Looks like yes, there's no way the gate will be closed if the boss inside isn't killed."

Ardian nodded, but he looked back at the Gate in the distance and thought.

'Besides that the rain has also begun to stir, and also ... What is this feeling, for some reason I feel sadness all of a sudden.'

Then, the quiet atmosphere was broken by Tiara who was seen crouching in front of Martius who was hugging his mother's dead body.

"But was the previous wave of magic energy actually emitted by this kid?"

"There's no one else in this place, I guess that's him. I also feel the magic energy in his body, even though it's still new because it hasn't circulated perfectly, which means he just went through the Awakening process."

Hearing the explanation from Ardian, Tiara smiled mysteriously.

"Hee ~"

When everything was silent, Ardian suddenly felt the presence of someone approaching them.

"Someone's coming."

"Hm?"

Then, when they looked sideways, they saw a child about 12 years old walking up the hill holding a knife stained by green blood on his hand.

The boy has a unique appearance with white hair and pale skin, his golden eyes look very unnatural. That child is none other than Reo. Looking at Reo, Ardian put on a serious expression.

'This kid, I don't feel the slightest magic energy from his body but he is holding a knife stained with Monster blood in his hand, who is this kid? '

Reo who saw Ardian and the others thought.

'I came here following in the footsteps of the scent of mother's blood, but it seems the Hunters have arrived first. '

Reo continued to walk closer before he saw his mother's body which only left half, and his brother who fainted on her. Seeing that, Reo was silent.

"Who is this boy?" Murmured Tiara.

Reo then walked closer and looked at the Hunters around him using his golden eyes, even after seeing his mother who died, Reo looks not sad at all, much less crying.

Reo then tries to check Martius's condition, but he is stopped by Ardian.

"Wait a minute, who are you?"

Reo glanced slightly at Ardian, before he said in a polite tone with a smile.

"I am the brother of this boy, and the son of this woman, I want to check their condition, so can you get out of my way, Mr. Hunter?"
