Kapitel 263: Chapter 262
Chapter 262
The spiders turned into stones until they crumbled to dust, their grains flew across the sky as the wind blew up. Despite being in the middle of a monster horde, Shenten's face didn't change at all. He looked calm as he sliced them with great precision, he was calculating the best movements to win this battle.
These monsters were from Violet Portal and it was actually hard for him to face them without getting injuries. Yet here he was, with no scratch at all. Shenten was moving like a person doing an acrobatic performance. It was almost as if he was a member of a circus and he was doing his play.
He jumped and the spiders tried to attack him using their webs but Shenten cut the webs, the webs turned into stones and crumbled as they fell. That's right, Shenten could petrify even an object. His claws released unique energy that could change the atom of an object and turn it into stone.
He descended on one of the spiders, the monster roared and tried to stab him using its sharp leg. Shenten deflected the attack and made the leg into stone instead. He punctured the monster and it died.
However, his enemies were endless. Despite killing hundreds of monsters, they didn't dwindle at all.
"Hey, how much do I have to say to you that it's dangerous to fight on your own."
Colt appeared and used Counter to the spiders, they flew and their bodies ruptured as Colt approached Shenten. It was ironic that he said that even though he charged alone too.
"…"
Shenten just stared at him and didn't speak, as always. This Draconian was the strangest that Colt met. Usually, Beastmen are musclehead people and won't hesitate to speak what they are thinking. They are straightforward and sort of honest, but this man, he is colder than ice. In fact, Colt didn't hear his voice since they became a team.
Shenten and Colt decided to form a team of two, although sometimes an old Cat guy with mechanical arms was helping them with their leveling. Colt had high respect towards the old man because he was the one who taught him the ways to evolve his Skill.
'That old man said that I should hurt myself to activate my Counter. At first, it sounds stupid but when I tried it, it was actually a great idea. My Counter is different from the other offensive Skills because it is more like a defense. I'm having a hard time finding what's the best way to attack first and the old man taught me a lot … Although that old man's teaching is quite brutal, as expected of a Beastmen. They are people who lust for blood.'
Colt sighed and glanced at the Draconian. Shenten was a quiet person but it was obvious that he was thirsty for blood just like a true beast. His eyes were shining even if she tried to hide them.
'Well, at least he is easy to read… Sometimes.'
"These monsters are easy to populate. A spider can produce, 150- 300 eggs so it's obvious that they are plenty. Even a talented person like you will easily die if you faced an endless horde of monsters just like this. You will lose your stamina first before you take all of them down. For now, we must contain these monsters away from the nearest city."
Colt said while studying the surrounding. Shenten who was listening to him nodded his head but his face didn't change at all. Colt swallowed a sigh, acting defeated.
Colt and Christian are siblings so they have similarities, such as being calculative and showing their expression(fake) to convince someone.
"Okay, good."
They agreed and decided to stop the monsters from reaching the nearest city, this was their responsibility as Hunters.

"Patriarch, how's the Prince?"
A person who had ears and a tail of a lion approached the old cat who was sleeping in a tree trunk. Lander just reached Australia and he immediately went to the place where Patriarch and Prince Shenten stay in.
Lander was confused why there are no people when he knocked on the door so he decided to go inside. Yet, when he entered the backyard, he saw that Patriarch was sleeping like a log.
"Patriarch."
Lander spoke and his vein slowly appeared on his forehead. He was getting irritated.
"Get up, I know that you already detect me."
"… Well, what can I say, you got me."
Patriarch slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes using his knuckles. The metal hand rubbed his face but Patriarch was already accustomed to his cold hands. His tail lazily swayed and he jumped down.
"Wazzup Lander, my friend."
Patriarch greeted him with a fist bump as he raised his fist, but Lander was too confused about his gesture and didn't know what to do. Patriarch shrugged and decided to stop.
"Wazzup!"
"Wazzup?"
"Hehe, you know, the wazzup! It's how humans greet each other!"
"I thought it was handshake?"
Lander asked as he was perplexed. No human tried to greet him with wazzup.
'Is it because I look scary?… Never mind, I'm here to find the Prince.'
He shook his head as he turned to talk about the Prince.
"Where is Prince Shenten?"
Lander probed but Patriarch just yawned and stretched his arms. It was strange to see a buff old man stretching and his tummy bulging. Patriarch was acting like a retired veteran who always drinks alcohol.
"Oh about that, Prince Shenten is not here."
"What? Where is he?"
"He's on the job right now and fighting against the spiders."
Lander couldn't believe that Patriarch let Shenten go alone. Patriarch saw his reaction and just waved his metal hand.
"Lander come on, Shenten is old already. He doesn't need a babysitter. Besides, that man is strong… but sometimes he is hard to read. Can you imagine, he jumped down a canyon just to kill a monster!"
"Tch, this is the reason why I hesitate to recommend you to protect him."
Patriarch chuckled and decided to take him to Shenten. As they walked, Patriarch decided to ask about the current situation of their species.
"How is it? Is it really hard?"
"… It's getting worse. The other Elders lost their loyalty and they decided to build their own kingdom or clan instead… And the IHA approved it."
