The Story of Demon Hunter

Ride To The Top of the Mountain

Next morning.

“Are you guys okay?”

Seeing everyone who had been ‘sadar’ and was no longer possessed, Arthur heaved a sigh of relief. After everyone ate, they immediately went to sleep from exhaustion. Even Lily and Jotaro also looked sleepy, so he told them to go to sleep.

It was Arthur who chose to keep them. However, he also used the opportunity to release Gluttony. Since the wolves ended up tragically and unworthy of being taken care of, he allowed Gluttony to clear the scene.

Gluttony seems to be very satisfied because it can eat quite full. He even suggested bringing those lunatics (Division 9) to continue hunting together because if the results continue like this, it will continue like this, they could definitely give him a lot of food as the madness that occurred while fighting clearly made the ingredients unable to be taken or sold, eventually going into Gluttony's mouth.

Hearing that, Arthur rolled his eyes. He felt that Gluttony had become rather greedy after appearing several times. It made him feel like he wanted to lock Gluttony up for some time. Forcing the creature to fast long enough while contemplating his mistake.

After all, the materials he obtained would never be damaged when stored by the Black Koi. So the young man was not at all worried about whether the materials would become useless or not if it was not swallowed by Gluttony.

“Thank you for your concern, Arthur. Forgive us for being so childish last night.” Daiki scratched the back of his head.

“It's okay. But yesterday I checked. Since there was no material to take, I decided to burn it so as not to attract the attention of other creatures. Does that not matter?”

“Of course it doesn't matter! Thank you very much, Arthur.”

Daiki was really embarrassed. The man did not think at all that he and Division 9 were finally taken care of by Arthur. He then glanced towards Lily and Jotaro. It seemed that they were also taken care of by the young man.

‘Truly a versatile man.’

Daiki could not help but sigh deeply in admiration. The people from the 9th Division who were starting to wake up also thanked Arthur and apologized for inconveniencing the young man last night.

Arthur doesn't care. Instead, he responded in a friendly manner. After all, what the young man did was also not without pay. It was just that, in the eyes of others, he had been regarded as a kind and caring fellow man.

Arthur's status in their hearts once again rose one level, becoming a person worthy of respect and exemplary!

After breakfast, they continued their journey.

***

Dawn, two days later.

Arthur, Daiki, and his colleagues finally begin to climb the mountain. The mountain range they called Frostpeak Mountain. Really quite tall and troublesome to climb. According to the information, the Frost Wyvern lived on the top of this mountain.

Arthur asked if the creature lived in a group because that's what it says in the book. But Daiki replied that the creature they hunted was alone. Seemed to be separated from the group for a reason.

That kind of thing happens often. Not just in the animal world, but in the human world. Being shunned for being different, being considered non-existent, and such. Reasons vary. Whether it's caste, appearance, and such.

Arthur nodded lightly. Looking towards the distance, the young man said.

“It seems like this will be troublesome for other members. Should we take them back and forth in turns?”

Far in front of Arthur, Daiki, and his entourage, a cliff appears. If they want to continue their journey, they need to pass a small road on the edge of a steep cliff. It is obviously very dangerous to go through. Not only was the footing not so sturdy, but the cold wind gusts were also quite strong.

If it were to fall hundreds of meters down, they would actually be turned into a paste. There is absolutely no chance of survival!

“No, Boss! Even if the members of Division 9 want to be transported, I don't want to do so.

I want to go through this road myself. Although dangerous, this is also considered an exercise. If it falls and dies, it means I don't deserve to be a member of Division 10. That's all!”

Seeing Jotaro's stern expression, many people were shocked. They did not expect that the man was so reckless. However, it can also prove to them that Jotaro's determination is stronger than ordinary people like them.

At that moment, one by one the people finally decided to follow Jotaro. Want to learn to face fear. Try to be more careful and focused!

Arthur suddenly said in a serious tone.

“I know that you want to be strong, Jotaro. Even so, as chairman, I will not let you die just like that. You can try it, and I'll keep an eye on you. If you really fall. I will stretch out my hand.

Don't think of anything stupid. Everything needs a process. No matter how long, rest assured ..you will also reach your goal. You are the same! Try it if you want, but don't despair if you fail!

There will definitely be another chance to improve yourself.”

Hearing Arthur's words, many people were moved. They did not expect that there is a chairman who cares so much about a ‘worker’ like them. At that time, Lily approached Jotaro and pulled his clothes.

“Joi, Joi .. You have to be excited! You can do it!”

Seeing the little girl clenching her hands and cheering for him, Jotaro felt his eyes slightly wet. He did not expect that his two comrades would be so supportive of him. Looking towards them, he said with a stern expression.

“I will definitely succeed!”

***

In the afternoon, on the other side of the cliff.

There were many people sitting on the ground with tired expressions on their faces. Some of them clearly look disappointed because they failed. Although helped so that they can get to that place, but they are not satisfied with their own achievements.

A small percentage of them looked very tired, but were also satisfied from making it to that place with their own feet. Jotaro is one part of this small group. Although his breathing was up and down, he was still staring at Arthur and Lily with a smile.

In response, Arthur gave a thumbs up. Satisfied with Jotaro. Meanwhile, Lily herself was carried behind Arthur's back. It seemed that the girl was feeling sleepy from getting bored of waiting.

Looking up they knew that the peak was not far away anymore. Even so, they still need to climb areas that are considered quite dangerous because they have to pass through thick smog which is actually a cloud when viewed from a distance.

Not only was it cold, it was difficult to pass through because their visibility was so limited. If lost direction and origin tread, what they incandescent can be destroyed. It finally rolled down and was thrown into the abyss. The result is of course the same, being meat paste.

Yes ... maybe the difference is softer.

“Just rest in this place for one night. We'll continue the journey tomorrow morning. Too dangerous to move in the afternoon, let alone at night.”

Hearing Arthur's words, everyone nodded in agreement. At that moment, Daiki approached Arthur and asked.

“Do you have any ideas, Arthur?”

“Thank everyone with a rope. I will lead the way, my eyesight is better than most people.”

“With rope? Are you crazy?”

Although using a rope so that those behind can follow easily is good, but the risk is too high. Just imagine, if one were to slip down, that person could attract the rest of the other people. So, not just one person, but many people would instantly be sent into meat paste.

Just thinking about that made Daiki shake her head. At that moment, Arthur's voice was heard again.

“After testing the courage, what do you think needs to be tested?”

“You mean?”

Daiki held up her brows, staring at Arthur with an expression of disbelief. Just then, the young man suddenly nodded and said.

“Training the trust of fellow members. Mutually depend on each other without leaving anyone behind.”
