The Story of Demon Hunter

Looking for Naughty Kids

After some time riding the flying sword, Arthur and his two companions arrived at the destination.

The place they were on a mission was not a big city or anything like that. Instead, they went to a small village close to the forest.

The mission Arthur received was a search and extermination mission. They are tasked to investigate the disappearance of some noble children who came to the place to do hunting sports. If possible, Arthur is asked to rescue, or at least bring back the bodies of the lost noble children.

In addition to the search mission, they were also asked to find the cause of the disappearance of the noble children. From clues in the form of claw marks found in several places and damaged shrubs, suspected the cause is a type of beast.

This information is recorded in the mission sheet. Although it was not yet 100% beast, from the clues alone, it was more than 90% likely that the enemy was a type of monster. Therefore, Arthur chose to take on this mission.

Although he did not like the nobles, but the young man liked their money. So in addition to the hunt, Arthur will try to find whether he can find the bodies of the bad boys or not.

A sword flew down in front of the village chief's spacious courtyard. Many residents came to watch because they rarely saw such a scene.

By the time Arthur, Jotaro, and Lily descend. Arthur kept the sword quietly, after which he saw the village chief and his family members.

“Welcome to our village, Dear Master and Miss cultivator!”

The village chief and his family immediately welcomed the arrival of the three men with respect.

“That title is too long, just call me Arthur. This big guy is Joe, and this girl is named Lily.”

Arthur replies casually to get rid of unnecessary formalities. Looking at those people, the young man already knew that they were the kind of sycophants he did not like. Therefore, Arthur did not want to mince words here to serve the hypocritical sycophant.

“Where did the kids disappear? What about the clues you found?”

“Ah! Don't you intend to sit down and drink first, Mr Arthur? You have been on a long and tired journey, so-“

“Saving a life is better than building a pagoda! Show me the way, there are children who need to be saved.”

Arthur interrupted immediately with an original tone. He really can't stand it. The young man only wanted to find the bodies of the bad boys and then had his two group members train against the monsters and bring the bodies of the creatures to him. There was absolutely no intention of lingering in this kind of place.

“Hero does come from the younger generation. As expected of you, Mr. Arthur. You really are more concerned with the lives of many people. That is so noble! So let my son take you to the place where the clue was found.”

“...”

Arthur was silent for a moment. For some reason, now he wants to hit someone. The old man spoke too much and annoyed him. Arthur really wanted to give him one elegant slap so the man went to pay a visit to the afterlife.

Sensing Arthur's gaze, the village chief's son immediately led the three men honestly towards the location where the claw marks and also the bushes were being destroyed.

Getting there, Arthur observed around with an interested expression. He then said.

“You can go back.”

“Good, Mr. Arthur.”

Upon seeing the men leave, Arthur immediately checked around meticulously. He saw the scratch marks on the tree, there were five claws each attack and the wounds on the tree were quite long. In addition, the messy bush also made him even more interested.

“It's really interesting. His footprints were not so clear, there were only a few traces of messy footings. What kind of animal is this?”

Arthur stroked his chin, seemingly excited enough to meet the creature that would make it onto his list of rare and special ingredients.

“We search around here first. Joe, try to find a dig sign like this. Although vague and unclear, it does not matter at all.”

“Shut up and just search.”

“Good.”

They then started looking for a guide around. In contrast to the serious-looking Jotaro, Lily continued to follow Arthur while observing around with a curious expression on her face. Seems pretty interested in the new things around him. After all, despite living in a remote village, the girl was usually only in villages, rivers, and rice fields. Not allowed into the forest by his parents.

“Bos! The track is moving in that direction.”

Hearing Jotaro's call, Arthur and Lily approach. After noticing the faint traces shown by Jotaro, they knew where the creature was moving. Heading into the forest closer to a hill, they saw an area filled with black soil that looked loose.

“Hutan is awesome. Soil like this is really suitable for growing vegetables or fruit.”

“Bos?”

“I know! I'm not daydreaming about food.”

‘I only think of my garden that is less than the maximum when there are three types of rare element crystals there.’

Arthur looked at me in the heart. Although it was fertile, he felt that his garden was still not good. It simply cannot compete with the sky garden in the fairy tale of the east, or any kind of hidden beautiful garden of its kind.

‘My path to become a chef as well as a farmer and super farmer who produce high quality goods is still long.’

“Bos?”

“What?” arthur said impatiently as Jotaro interrupted his daydream.

“It appears there is a cave there.”

Looking towards Jotaro pointed, Arthur saw a dark cave in the distance. Its size was quite wide, it was perfect for a savage beast to stay.

‘Best? A snake? Or what? Yeah ... I hope it's a bear.’

Arthur thought as he imagined the large, springy legs of a bear. Although the smell is troublesome, but bear meat is indeed high quality meat. The young man almost drooled when he imagined it.

“Close slowly.”

Arthur immediately spoke with a serious expression. The three of them immediately walked closer to the cave slowly. Arthur and Jotaro's expression instantly turned more serious when he saw the piece of noble clothing tucked behind a stone. The villagers obviously did not find it because it was completely inconspicuous.

Arthur pulled out his sword. He then led two of his comrades into the cave to inspect. They walked carefully so as not to bully the cave dwellers. But when they entered, they realized how humid the cave was. Just then, they saw a lot of bat droppings on the cave floor.

At that very moment, Arthur realized that something was wrong. He turned and said.

“Come out of this place!”

Although confused, Jotaro and Lily follow Arthur out of the cave. A troubled expression appeared on the young man's face. Thinking of the oddity when the footprints disappeared in this area, he felt stupid for being late in realizing that this was all a trap.

By the time they came out of the cave, the expressions of the three people changed because ...

They are completely surrounded!
