Chapter 223: Start Hunting! Part I

TOOOT!!!

The sound of a pipe horn came up finally, signaling the start of the final round with the resounding cheering scream from more than one hundred thousand people on the Light Ring.

Meanwhile, all 30 competitors had already separated around Dores without sticking up to each other at all. Especially the one with the highest movement speed in the competition, Wisana started running at his top speed, before realizing that the largest area was in the north of the town.

The area was clear, wide, and flat land. There were also fewer tall buildings, which benefited him who had speed as a weapon and needed a lot of space to move and evade.

Right, that area was...

The town’s market!

“If I take that area, then it’s going to be easier for me. Hopefully, Shin wouldn’t go hunting in the same spot though.”

Wisana spoke to himself with a soft smile before he leaped up on a streetlight and jumped above a building to land in the middle of the market accurately!

Right after his feet stepped on the ground, his amber eyes were glancing around the market that every shop and stall had been removed for today, leaving only a large empty circle area for him.

“Nice!” Wisana clenched his fists tightly after he did not see anyone here. “So, I have this area all for myself.”

“No, you don’t.”

But then, there was a voice speaking up jokingly, making Wisana flinch. He looked in that direction and saw a tall, strong-looking guy with green hair in a weird pointy style that looked like a broom.

“Never thought that I would have the same mind as Wisana, the first-place winner from the qualifying round.”

“You...”

Wisana said softly, before staring at the one in front of him intensely. He remembered that this man was one of the aces in the Hunting Gate. He remembered that Shin said he was a player in the Dominion Guild, the guild of Marcus, the four gods.

“You’re one of the aces named Tryne, right?”

“Oh, it’s really not a good thing, being too famous, I guess.” The green-haired guy smiled widely right away. “And it’s not just us who have the same mind either.”

He said and pointed behind Wisana, at the top of the building that looked like a tower. The owner of the amber eyes was trying to look as the other told. And after he saw someone curling himself there, he slipped out a laugh and forced up a wry smile instantly.

That was Vis, the one who passed the first round with Wisana earlier. He was sitting with his knee up on the top of the building. His hands were holding a long gun as well. His sharp eye, like an eagle that was not covered by the black strap, was staring at Wisana and Tryne gazingly.

Then a soft smile appeared on the guy named Vis.

“Vis, the eagle eye of Bunny Burner Guild, huh?” the green-haired guy said with a chuckle. “Is today some kind of family gathering or what? Earlier was Shin, and now’s Vis.”

“...”

Wisana was speechless with the one in front of him. And it did not take long before Tryne got his weapon out. It was a large sword that was almost as big as him. Moreover, there was a long silver chain hanging from the handle down to his neck as well.

“Anyway.” Tryne snorted softly, before glancing at Wisana. “Just so you know, mister number one from the qualifying round, if you get in my way and get some collateral hit, you can’t blame me for that later, okay?”

The one who got looked down on paused, before curling up a smile in return.

“I’ll keep that in mind, mister ace of the Hunting Gate.”

RUMMBLEEE!!

After his words, the ground slowly began to tremble, but the two were still staring at each other relentlessly.

Now, many monsters started running into the market where they were standing, including Minotaurus and King Baboon that looked like a huge baboon. The monsters that were coming at them surely were not less than 30 units.

Moreover, they were coming in from every direction!

“Would you mind if I take the Minotaurus?” Tryne asked, tilting his head.

“No, not at all.”

After that, they both split up instantly!

Tryne, who had green hair, swung that large sword at a Minotaurus with full strength, making the blade stick in the bull monster’s chest deep...

Rolling Strike

The green-haired guy shouted out before he grabbed the end of the chain and used all his immense strength to spin himself for the sword to drag the monster with it. As the Minotaurus was being swirled, the monster started catching fire slowly. And that was when Tryne cast that massive body into the other Minotauruses that were running at him with full force!

BOOM!!!

98,863!!

The immense damage points popped up from that Minotaurus, and there were many thousand points caused by it crashing into its friends as well!

“So furious, this guy.”

Wisana spoke up with a delighted voice, before glancing at the pack of baboons in front of him. And then, a soft smile of the man who was getting increasingly experienced on the battlefield spread up.

“Think I have to show off my fancy skill as well since I’ve joined the brutal training with Master already.”

After his voice ended, the group of enormous monkeys with 5 members started rushing to kill the prey who was not moving in their sight. But in a blink before they got to the young man, his lips started muttering a spell out softly.

Blaze Break

After he finished casting the spell, Wisana burst into ten illusions of himself with his skin becoming fire red as well!

The ten illusions were like fire fairies that rushed in to attack the enemies violently right away. Just crashing into the enemy once was enough to cause thousands of damage points, and ten illusions were now going separately to attack every enemy in range violently. And until then, there was not any pair of eyes that could follow the movement of these ten flames at all!

Then all the baboons’ bodies were held down by the attack from every direction of the flames. Now, they started losing their ability to move, because they were caught in burning debuff all over themselves. In that second, every flame rushed up and gathered in the air until Wisana’s figure appeared in one again with flame blazing up on his hands and back!

“Burn!”

After his voice, the tall man fell right in the center of the enemies’ pack fast, while his palms were held out, ready to attack the monsters fully!

Fire Tower

BOOM!!!

86,254!!

A huge damage point popped up as a pole of flame was building up high into the sky, while the baboons were screeching out before they were burned to ashes!

“This guy’s not bad.”

Tryne, who could feel the heat from his back turned and complimented after cutting the head of another Minotaurus off. He spread his lips into a smile after he saw Wisana jumping out of the flame in front of him.

“Where has this dangerous guy been all this time? The one who should be an ace is really this guy.”

Wisana let out a hard sigh, blowing a white-hot smoke through the gap of his lips. He looked around the place, finding another baboon to make a x5 combo. ...But he did not even make a move yet, a Minotaurus that got away from Tryne’s sight leaped at him from the back, aiming to charge at him and send him off!

“Hey! How did you get over there?” Tryne shouted.

At the same time, Wisana’s instinct kicked in, warning him to turn back in time.

BANG!!

89,251!
