The Story of Demon Hunter

Tempramental Change

“What are you guys doing here?”

Seeing the arrival of Kiba, Tarou, and Arthur, there appeared to be a middle-aged spirit man who had a face like Kiba but was older and more dignified. The man had a stern expression on his face. Plus the battle armor and sword he carried, he clearly looked even more domineering.

“Kiba meets with Ayahanda!” kiba said while giving a polite greeting.

“Tarou meet the Big Lord!” tarou said with a respectful expression.

“What are you doing here. Not to mention, Tarou, didn't you promise to protect Kiba? Why did you bring him here?”

“Report, Big Lord. The madam has regained consciousness and is now in the process of recovery. The poison and curse in his body had been removed. After resting within a certain time, the Madam will recover completely.”

Hearing Tarou's words, the atmosphere suddenly became silent. Kiba's father looked at them with a surprised expression. His body trembled as he opened his mouth and asked.

“Is that true?”

“That's right, Ayahanda. This son happened to meet Mr. Arthur. He is the one who has healed Mother!” kiba said with a pleased expression. He obviously did not forget to praise Arthur.

Meanwhile, Arthur himself just stood in place with a sleepy expression. It seems that a long, boring trip really made him almost fall asleep. Even when meeting the city lord, he was still sleepy and looked unconcerned.

The city lord looked towards Arthur who was standing with half-circumcised eyes. At first, he thought that the young man was his son's disrespectful friend. However, when he measured the young man, he was surprised to not be able to see his cultivation level.

“Big Lord, this Lord Arthur is a former disciple of the Heavenly Pillar Sect. He seemed to be a bit sleepy after a long trip. So please be understood.”

Hearing Tarou's explanation, the city lord was shocked. He then looked towards Arthur with a serious expression. Not forgetting, the man occasionally glanced towards Tarou. Upon seeing Tarou shake his head, which meant this man was neither a fugitive nor a troubled figure, he was finally relieved.

Just then, Arthur's eyes suddenly opened wide. It clearly surprises people. The young man then looked towards the city lord with a surprised expression while asking.

“Kiba?”

Hearing that, the city lord replied politely.

“Include, I am Kiba's father, Shinozaki. You can call me City Lord, or I prefer if you call me Uncle Shino.”

“Oh~ Turns out Kiba.”'s dad Arthur scratched the back of his head with a careless expression. “I think I was asleep for a couple of years like in those fairy tales. Yes ... It's not a problem. Nice to meet you, Uncle Shinozaki.”

“Thank you for saving my wife, Mr. Arthur.”

“…”

Hearing such a sudden thank you, the still dazed Arthur had to answer how. In the end, he nodded while saying in a relaxed tone.

“This kind of meeting is destiny, so you don't need to be so polite.”

Although his words were a bit cool as it mimicked Mr. Shigekuni when interacting with some important people, but the result instead becomes a bit strange because Arthur's rather frivolous tone really doesn't match that kind of polite sentence.

“How about we sit down and rest first? You guys came to give us this news so we can come back soon, right?”

“Actually it's not accurate. Yes ... Other than to break the news, I came here to hunt Cockatrice.”

Hearing that, everyone was immediately shocked. They did not expect that Arthur came with such a purpose.

After a moment of surprise, Shinozaki stared at Arthur firmly.

“The creature was very dangerous and there were some casualties from the guard troops who were killed by it. Although I respect your desire to help, as the city lord and husband of the woman you have saved .. let me reject your kindness!”

Shinozaki's words immediately made Arthur aware. His mind immediately became clear. Instead of being happy about not being allowed to help like before, she instead directly pointed to Shinozaki's face with an annoyed expression.

“I came here to ask for information about the whereabouts of the creature, Uncle! I'm not leaving until I catch that chicken! I want to eat chicken and no one can stop me from doing it! So don't try to force me!”

A chicken? Could the creature that killed everyone in the village be considered a chicken? Not to mention, was such a creature edible?

Thinking of the many questions, the guards, even the father and son, felt that Arthur was not fully conscious. It seems to dream of a big banquet or something.

“Even if it was me, facing Cockatrice was obviously something easy. The venom of the creature can kill people easily.”

“But you have the confidence to fight the creature, Uncle?” Arthur tilted his head.

“Possibility of beating it by more than 60% if I am careful. Merely, I do not count if the master of the creature appears.”

“Then let's end this pointless talk then bet.”

“Betaruh?” Shinozaki was a little surprised.

“Ya.” Arthur smiled casually.

“What do you want to bet?” ask Shinozaki.

“Let's fight! If I lose, I'll pretend I never heard the information about Cockatrice. But if I win, you should tell me about all the information about Cockatrice that you know.”

Hearing that, Shinozaki looked surprised. He was then convinced that Arthur was clearly strong and confident in his strength. Actually the man could have directly provided information to the benefactor who saved his wife. Merely, he was suddenly interested in the strength of the young man.

Wanted to know how strong the young man was compared to him!

“Good!” shinozaki said with a serious expression on his face.

The surprised expression clearly appeared on everyone's faces. It was really unexpected that the man would serve a reckless young man like Arthur.

***

Half an hour later, on a large field on the edge of the village.

Shinozaki held tightly to the sword hilt on the left side of his waist while ready to fight. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Arthur seems to be warming up. Stretching the body to relax its muscles.

At that very instant, everyone felt the energy from Arthur's body. At first, the one-star bronze level. But it continued to rise at incredible speed. It started to slow down after breaking through the silver level, and finally stopped at the 8 star silver level .. equal to Shinozaki's level.

“Because we are on the same level, don't tell me I cheated, Uncle.”

Arthur said with a relaxed expression on his face. The young man jumped up and down on the spot, seemingly so relaxed and did not look like he wanted to fight against the enemy.

“Of course I won't say anything because there are only victories and defeats in the fight.”

“Ya ... then .. let's start.”

After saying that, Arthur's figure instantly turned into a black shadow. It darted towards Shinozaki with a zigzag movement but very quickly.

Seeing Arthur's figure suddenly appear in front of him, Shinozaki instantly drew his sword with a surprised expression.

A BANG!

Shinozaki's figure instantly bounced over five meters, but still stood in a defensive position. Merely, his expression changed when he felt his two hands slightly numb. He then gazed towards Arthur with narrowed eyes as …

It felt like the young man had instantly become a different person!
