The Story of Demon Hunter

Really Ugly!

“Anu ... The boss? Aren't we too deep into the role?”

Joe asked with a puzzled and astonished expression on his face.

After finishing their business at the city lord's house, Arthur immediately led Joe and Lily to the mountain to look for a target. Only, what they did was a bit excessive.

Instead of rushing straight to the location with a flying sword, Arthur left with his two comrades on foot. Moreover, he asked both of his comrades to hide their cultivation levels.

Not only did they hide the levels, but they also wore the clothes of ordinary residents.

Wearing simple clothes, the temperament of Arthur did not change much. Now he looked like a traditional doctor who went to pick herbs.

While Lily looked like a village girl who was so innocent, just like her previous identity. A little mushroom picking girl.

For Joe himself ...

He really looks dubious!

In a way, Joe's performance is a combination of the appearance of monks, hermits, bandits, and vagrants. Totally jumbled and out of place.

“Don't say much, Joe. We are mushroom and herbal pickers. Remember it well, and do it in a professional way!” arthur said with a firm tone.

Ignoring Arthur and Joe who were arguing, Lily walked towards the big tree. Using a simple tool, the girl took some mushrooms and put them into the basket she was carrying on her back.

Although his face was still flat, it was a bit empty. However, Lily's eyes sparkled. It seemed to have forgotten their mission to defeat the demonic beast. Feel coming to the forest indeed to pick mushrooms and herbs!

“...”

Seeing Lily so dedicated, Arthur and Joe fell silent. They are really confused as to how to respond.

In a way, they wanted to praise Lily's dedication. On the other hand, they wanted to remind the complacent Lily and forget about their main task.

“Omong-by the way, is our destination still far away, Boss?” ask Jotaro.

“Towards the mountain, not too far away. We won't be so exhausted in that distance. The problem is, we don't really know where the nest built by the creature is.”

“Hive?” joe asked with a confused look on his face.

“Yes. The nest. Why do you think that creature bothers to come to this kind of mountain? A picnic?

Indeed, making trouble in the city was the main goal. However, the creature did not need to directly attack the city. Just need to make the people in the city afraid to enter the forest or go up the mountain.

It should like to live in high places. Maybe make a nest on a steep cliff. The problem ..”

“The problem?” Joe raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming curious.

“Too many mountains around this damned place!” arthur was upset.

Knowing anger didn't change anything, Arthur let out a long sigh. He calmed down, then took a small shovel as he walked after Lily.

“We better pretend to be mushroom and herbal pickers. Moving forward while waiting for the creature to appear.

We will exterminate the creature and bring back peace in the city!”

Hearing the command, Joe nodded with a serious expression.

“Understanding!”

***

A few hours later.

“You see this berry, Lily? Although eaten directly tastes good, but more delicious is made into jam.

Put into bread, can be baked or steamed, even applied is also okay.”

“Wow! It looks good, Arthur.”

Lily replied in a flat tone. Sensing one sweet and sour berry, he nodded with eyes full of stars.

“Then take a lot!” said Arthur.

They both began to sort the berries that are really ripe and suitable for direct consumption or jam.

“What's up, Arthur?” Lily tilted her head, looking confused.

“You saw this big mushroom?” arthur asked while pointing at the large, thick, yellowish-white mushroom.

“Iya?” Lily tilted her head in the other direction.

“This mushroom is non-toxic. In fact, there are many people who like it. In particular, for those who do not eat and drink animal products such as meat, eggs, and milk.

This mushroom can be cut into rather thin and wide pieces. After that, given a little spice outside and then baked.

According to many people, this mushroom is touted as ‘steak from alam’. Isn't that amazing?”

“Definitely delicious ..” Lily said as she wiped her saliva.

“Then take!” arthur said casually.

Looking towards Arthur and Lily who took this and that mushroom, then plucked this and that fruit ... Joe was completely dumbfounded.

‘Are we not just pretending? I saw it wrong or did you guys really enjoy it?’

The corner of Joe's lips twitched. He really did not expect that the 10th division head had actually become so unreliable.

‘We will exterminate the creature and bring back peace in the city? Your father's head!’

Joe complained in his heart. Really feel more tired with Arthur's changing attitude.

At that moment, a shrill voice sounded from the sky. Looking up, Joe's expression became serious. Above the clouds, appeared a black shadow, a huge figure flying towards them crazily.

“Bos! Lily! There's an enemy attack! We recommend-“

When he looked, Joe was immediately shocked.

Whether since when, Arthur and Lily had been standing with weapons in their hands. The basket containing herbs and mushrooms completely disappeared. Although they were still wearing simple clothes, they were clearly ready for battle.

‘Since when? Can it be done so quickly?’

Looking at the two, Joe found it complicated.

“Is there a problem, Joe?” ask Arthur.

“...”

Joe only shook his head, not intending to speak to the two unreasonable people at all. He refocused on the person coming.

The figure of a giant bird over eight meters wide as it spread its wings through the clouds, revealing itself to Arthur and his two companions.

Only, the appearance of ‘big’ really made the three of them dumbfounded.

“Is it really a demonic beast?” ask Joe wonder.

“That creature ..”

Arthur stared towards the black figure who was swooping down with a complicated expression.

“Truly ugly!” added Lily with a blank expression on her face.

Although the remark was disrespectful, Joe had absolutely no intention of protesting because that was the reality.

The creature has a similar appearance to a condor bird. He had a thin body shrouded in black fur that looked messy all over his body. Its legs are longer than normal condor birds, and its appearance is more terrible.

Not to mention the head. On top of the white fur around the neck, appears bald head. Only, it was not the head of a bird, but a human-like head with a long neck and looked strange.

The creature had skin full of wrinkles like dry wood. Really skinny, full of rotting wounds everywhere.

Looking at such an appearance, Arthur was truly enraged. He wanted to capture the poultry material. But who would have thought, not just ugly ...

That creature is also not edible!
