The Story of Demon Hunter

Opening a Shop

A few hours after starting the journey, the people from the Sword of Sufferings frowned.

They all felt that the Blade of Areia was unreliable. It felt, the way they chose the path was also too random. Dense vegetation, non-flat roads, and various other obstacles.

Although it seemed trivial, to the people who had been trained by Ark, such a thing could be a waste of energy. For example cutting small trees, walking on unstable terrain, and some small things that can spend energy faster.

Somehow, they suddenly thought of how the Blade of Areia could have survived so far with such an all-around skill.

If they knew what they were thinking, Ark would have already smiled while shaking his head.

As a person who lived two lives, Ark knew that a normal group was usually like the Blade of Areia. At best, it could find one or two advantages like the Imperial Phoenix or Golden Maple Group.

Speaking of the Golden Maple Group, Ark felt quite disappointed that Jay had not returned from there. Although he still trusts his best friend, he is also always wary of him. After all, the young man was wary of anyone without exception. Only, this time his vigilance towards Jay increased slightly.

At the moment of walking, Ark glanced towards Scorpio who was walking beside him. The man seemed to continue staring at the backs of the people from the Sword of Sufferings longingly.

“I know that you want to become stronger and try to fight on the front lines. However, now you are still in the exam period. After completing the basics of the exercise, there is another stage you need to go through.

In this world of crisis, strength is always longed for and coveted. Merely, after joining the Sword of Sufferings, I hope that you can focus on training.

There is absolutely no need to think about anything else.”

Hearing Ark's words, Scorpio was stunned. He then answered directly.

“Ya, Chairman!”

Scorpio glanced at Ark. Not knowing how and what others felt, but to him, the white-haired young man with ruby eyes was quite kind to him.

‘Do I really get into the ‘jenius’ standard that people say?’

Scorpio shakes his head, trying to be self-conscious. Even if he considered himself a genius, it would not give him an advantage. Instead, it can make him lazy and waste the opportunity.

‘The opportunity did not come for the second time. It is better to complete all the tasks and exams then enter as an official member. Only then thought of something else.’

At the moment of thinking, Dedric's voice sounded. Directly awaken Scorpio from his daydream.

“We've reached our destination!”

Passing through the forest, they arrived at a large enough wasteland. Many people including Scorpio looked at the scene in front of them with expressions of astonishment and somewhat fear.

In the distance, it appeared an unknown black lake was vast and deep. His appearance was quite terrifying as there was a gray mist that added to the mysterious impression where they could not see the distance.

Not far from the edge of the lake, looks a large cave with a slope of about 30 degrees. The mouth of the cave is very wide, it can be passed by two large cargo trucks. It really displays a strange view because actually they are still in a city.

Around the cave, there are a lot of crabs with a size of one meter. They really do have a shimmering coral-like shell. It looks quite beautiful, but also looks menacing because their appearance is rather terrible especially in the part of the giant claw.

Width about one meter, height about 40-50 centimeters. In fact, that size is also not a threat. Of course, because of the large number, the problem is different again.

“Are we going to fight those creatures, Chairman?” ask Scorpio.

As a former member of the Cursed Berserkers, Scorpio very rarely deals with zombies and mutated beasts. The group was more focused on searching for known foodstuffs or robbing various other groups.

“Don't ask stupid questions, Scorpio. From now on, you will see how the Sword of Sufferings works.

We will hunt zombies, cannibals, and mutated beasts. Unlike those who hide and try to live safely, our way of survival is to defeat the enemy, strengthen ourselves, fight stronger enemies, and then repeat again.”

Hearing the cold and resolute answer from Ark's mouth, Scorpio was startled. He clearly felt the firmness of every word the young man had. Clearly asking himself to change his mindset continued to avoid zombies and mutated beasts.

Ark nodded lightly then remained silent for a moment. He then glanced towards Dedric and his troops. The young man gestured, whether the Sword of Sufferings or the Blade of Areia advanced first.

“Because it's here, let's advance together!” dedric said firmly.

“Understanding.”

After saying that, Ark closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath let out slowly, the young man gave the order.

“We passed from the right side. All teams prepare for their place. The opponent was a level 1 creature and would not be a problem. However, you also still have to be careful with the shell and claw.

Speaking of which, try cutting the gap between the body and the large claw of the creature because if it managed to cut through it, they would lose a lot of combat power.

There must be no carelessness. Everything has to be done well and clean. Execute!”

“Ya, Chairman!”

Following Ark's orders, ten teams instantly shot forward in quick succession. Move quickly but also neatly without getting ahead of others or damaging the formation.

Just then, Ark's voice rang out in Scorpio's ears.

“Look carefully how they fought. It will be useful for you.”

“Understanding!” Scorpio nodded.

Seeing the arrival of aliens to their territory, the blue coral crabs immediately invaded. They seem to have no fear. There was only the determination to fight against the invasion that was going on. Trying to protect their nest desperately.

Each team of Sword of Sufferings set up a circular formation with one or two people in the tengan as well as five warriors around. Those people kept a steady distance, not so close but not so far away. Suitable for fighting.

Those in the middle helped the part that suffered attacks from more enemies. The soldiers carried swords while the porters or chefs carried spears.

Ding!

Hitting the shell of the blue coral crab, the sound of metal clanking was heard. People's expressions became more serious than before.

Following the lessons taught by Ark and the higher-ups during the training, the men aimed for the gap/gap between the body parts with each other. Not only the large clawed parts, but also the blue coral crab legs.

At first, the battle seemed difficult due to the greater number of crabs and the difficulty of getting used to it.

After a while, change has happened. The people from the Sword of Sufferings started to find a weak point. Not only did it make them easily kill the crabs, those people also started to advance forward to clear the way.

Looking at the coordination and cohesiveness of each team, Scorpio is completely dumbfounded. He had absolutely no idea that fighting blue coral crabs could be so simple. However, just a moment later, the man felt that his face was slapped hard.

“This ..”

An expression full of shock appeared on Scorpio's face when looking towards the people from the Blade of Areia were.

There, it appears Dedric and his people are overwhelmed fighting with the blue coral crabs because of their number (crabs) so much.

The quality of the Blade of Areia weapon was worse, it could not make many injuries to the crab's body. Not to mention, most of them are not compact and attack originally. Can say ...

Even a waste of energy!
