Bab 8: 3 Hunter Expert Appeared, The Death of Greten (2/4)
After killing the last remaining guys, he saw many Crolilaw, Mosqet, and Antis coming into their position.
They must be attracted to the blood.
He saw one of the Mosqets coming towards him and slashed its body. Yellowish and greenish blood came out from the wound. He splashed the blood off the blade and returned it to his sheath. It was disgusting, especially the smell of blood on it.
Suddenly, he remembered something and looked back at Gato's position. Gato was kneeling on the ground in a semi-unconscious state. His face was pale, and the blood vessels were visible on his neck. Rashes were scattered on his shoulder.
Poisoned.
Tristan immediately approached him.
While approaching, he saw 4 Antis coming towards him.
Tristan bite Wado Ichimonji then holds the hilt of the sword of Snow Chaser and Sandai Kitetsu.
"Three Sword Style: Demon Slash!"
Tsching
The 4 antis' body was cut off immediately.
Followed by 5 Mosqet attacking him.
3 Sword Style: Tornado! Vhooom
He saw 5 Mosqet bodies cut off in the small cyclone.
(Three Sword Style was really useful in dealing with the mob) Although it's not strong compared to his Two-Sword Style, the three-sword style has its own uniqueness.
Another Group of Crolilaw who planned to attack retreated when they saw how terrifying Tristan was and immediately find a dead body on the other side which didn't bother him.
Antis and Mosqet also retreated and returned to their own business.
He splashed the blood on the ground.
It's really disgusting!
Tristan immediately put his Snow Chaser on his back and Sandai Kitetsu on his right waist and placed it on his left waist with Wado Ichimonji. Good thing he left the 3 swords before.
No, it's not a good thing. Especially the treasure sword of his father was still there.
Tristan suddenly became concerned about what happened to his house.
He must return later.
He took Gato's spear and put it on the left side of his back and tied it up. He took out his clothes so he can breathe properly then he carried him on his right shoulder and ran away.
While running, he saw some beast attacking him. When the monster was alone, he killed it with his left sword. But when a group, he avoided it.
After a few seconds of running, he saw the previous soldier with many people. The soldier and 6 people surrounded the 9 people on the middle. It seems a civilian.
Tristan immediately ran forward into him. He feels this guy was related to the man on his shoulder. When the people saw Tristan coming towards them, they became alert.
"Who's that?"
"It's a hunter be careful"
"It's the Traitor"
Traitor again? What did I do? Tristan immediately became confused. When Tristan felt the hostile expression of the group, he immediately held his Wado Ichimonji tightly.
"He's Injured, Kill Him!" Seeing the action of Tristan, someone dares to take a move.
Hearing the words of that person. Did he say "Kill"?
"What did you say?" Tristan's eyes immediately became cold.
The group felt pressure by the aura of Tristan and stopped moving.
This pressure is not about the power but the aura that accumulates when the person already killed a hundred beasts or people and adds the scary look of Tristan's Face and Hands full of blood, it really looks scary to imagine it.
"Huh... Wh...wh... are.. are you afraid, he's just alone!"
"Yeah, he's just alone!" The eyes of the group became determined.
The previous soldier, who had calmed down the civilian, noticed the noise and looked over. He then noticed the conflict between the group and Ah... it was the Black Swordsman Senior!
He immediately ran over! "Senior, Senior Black Swordsman, you came!"
"Ted, be careful, it's a hunter" One of the people hurriedly grabbed Ted.
"Macky, don't worry, it's the 'Black Swordsman' Senior, he saved me before" Ted assured one of his friends and said.
Seeing Ted come over, Tristan immediately ran over. The group became alert again.
"He said, it's "Black Swordsman?"
"Isn't 'Black Swordsman' a hunter?"
"That junior said he was saved by him!"
"But I never thought it's actually the 'Black Swordsman!'"
The other group became confused but they dare not let their guard off. Especially to the terrifying "Black Swordsman" reputation.
When Ted saw Tristan coming over he was about to... then he noticed the man on his shoulder of Tristan.
It seems... It seems... Isn't that Senior Gato? What Happened?
When Gato was about to leave, he finds a group to take care of his subordinate Ted. So, in the next following situation, he didn't know about what happened.
Their location was actually just closed in the battlefield of Tristan before. But there are so many beasts invading, they can't focus on others to watch and eat popcorn.
"Is this your friend? He was poisoned, you need to treat him right away." Tristan landed carefully Gato's Body on the ground.
"Who has an antidote?" He looked at the other group behind Ted.
"What, Is it Gato?" One of the men looked over and he seems familiar with Gato or maybe a peer. He rushed to the body of Gato and Tristan give away.
It seems they already lower their guard unlike before.
"It's just a mild poison, who has an antidote?"
"Senior, I have," A woman said and give the antidote in her bag.
After a few minutes, Gato was still unconscious but his condition was already okay. And in these few minutes, Tristan helped them defeat the beasts who were trying to attack them.
And the group of people was shocked by Tristan's strength. The group looked at each other and sighed in relief. Good thing they didn't make trouble before and it's also a good thing that there's a strong person in their group.
Tristan also observed them carefully and he determined the strength of the group.
1 Senior (M) - Testa
1 Senior (E)- Uriel
1 Proficient (L) - Rose
1 Proficient (E) - Cris
1 Starter (L) Kalid
2 Starter (M) - Ted, Macky
(Author Notes: (E) - Early Stage, (M) - Middle Stage, (L) - Late Stage)
The rest were civilians who were implicated in the invasion. Surprisingly, the owner of the canteen was also there. Tristan sighed in relief, glad that the owner didn't die because he didn't know where else to eat after this.
Speaking of food. He became hungry again, after the continuous battle earlier, his physical strength weakening.
He needs to eat food.
He swears after this crisis he will eat food.
Their location was near the mountain far ahead in the main location of station 92. The Senior (M) was the leader of the group and he talked about the situation happening.
Tristan gained a new understanding.
Most of Hunter Group rebelled. They really dare?
No wonder the three guys before were unscrupulous and dare to attack him. He was confused before but he didn't take it seriously.
He just thought since they dare to kill him inside the base, then I can kill it back. It's just self-defense and Barracks Commander will understand him.
He knows that 3 guys belong to Greten's underling, under Thompson's group, one of the experts of Hunter Guild. That Greten was the one who take fancy with his sword (Elucidator and Dark Repulser).
He doubted it before, maybe that guy was the one who tell from the group before who assassinate them with his 3rd Senior because they mentioned it to snatched the sword when they planned to assassinate them.
And maybe also that expert guy who assassinate him 6 months ago.
Even though he always said that two swords were useless, it's actually not useless. It's comparable to the 5 Grade Sword similar to sword by his father.
He's not sure if Greten was the real culprit, but once Tristan made up in his mind that Greten was the culprit, then he's the culprit.
After a few minutes of going on the way to the main location of the station, they encountered several hunters who tried to attack them. And of course, when they decided to attack their group, their destiny was already written.
Simple word "DEATH"
...
"Where are they, why it took so long?" Greten shouted to them.
The other follower was also silent because they also didn't know what happen.
"Boss, maybe they're already coming. Just wait patiently" One of his subordinates tried to appease him.
"Boss the 3 Lords are already here!" One of his subordinates said.
Then they saw 3 men wearing red hooded cloaks on the way to them. After a few seconds, they already appeared but remain a distance from them.
"Lord Ded, Lord Ade, and Lord Tome, you're here" Greten greeted them respectfully.
"What the situation?" Hunter Ded asked them.
Greten looked at the scout informants and prompted him.
"Lord, the 2 Lord Hunter in Station 1 already started chaos, and Lord Yolvis was stalling time with 3 experts of Alliance, Lord, you must help him otherwise the plan-"
"And Thompson?" Hunter Ded Interrupted him
"Lord Ded, Lord Thompson said before it may take 10 minutes to complete the preparation, it's already 5 minutes now."
"Okay, we will help stall time within 5 minutes, if he didn't appear within an exact time, it's not our fault if the plan was ruin" Lord Ded said.
"Where are they? Take us there"
"Yes"
Then the 3 Expert Hunter Followed the scout informants.
Greten looked at the three hunters and said to his subordinates "We will stall time here, remember kidnap the civilians and kill the Alliance soldiers, that's our mission"
"Yes!"
"Those three were taking too long. What the hell are they doing!" Greten became irritable since the three goes away as if there's something will happen.
Then suddenly...
BOOM!
There's an explosion coming in a near distance.
"What?"
Greten and the other hunters were surprised.
"What the hell happened?" Greten shouted at them.
"We... We don't know sir, we will take a look now" One of the scouts said.
"No, I'll follow, come along with me!" There's a suspicion in Greten's eye about what happened.
After a few seconds
Greten and others appeared in the incident.
They saw a bloody scene scattered around the surrounding whether it was a wall, ground, or any other thing near.
"What the hell happen?"
After they walked near the warehouse there are many civilians gathering there nervously. The plan was to guard this warehouse to secure their delivery. And the delivery for whom? Hoho... Who knows?
He saw the corpses of the hunter guard and some beasts scattered near the civilians.
"Go be alert, there must an accident here!" Greten said to his subordinates.
His subordinate also guarded him while being alert to their surroundings.
"There is really an accident here, because, I'm your accident" Gretel and others turned around and saw Tristan standing on the rail near the warehouse.
"It's you, no wonder" No wonder the three took so long because they will never appear here. This is what he thinks.
Gretel looked solemnly at Tristan.
"Bastard, you really dared to try to assassinate me. If you dared to do it, should I kill you?" Tristan immediately unsheathed his Wado Ichimonji and Snow Chaser. He didn't want to hear their answer and attacked immediately.
Two Sword Style: Double 18-Pound Slash!
The Buff of Berserker's Blood didn't disappear so he can use an instant slash against the enemy.
WHSHWING!
"Defense!" Gretel Shouted
"Rock Barrier"
"Rock Barrier"
"Rock Barrier"
"Bastard, you really dare to go alone, I know you are arrogant but I really underestimate your level!"
"I know your element, let's see how you can fight it" Gretel sneered at him.
Then Gretel notices something. The civilians where are they going?
Then he saw 5 alliance soldiers assisting them to get away.
"Damn Stop them"
Two Hunter Proficient Stage immediately made a move. After they appeared, they immediately notice something.
There are two people appeared on their side.
Wind Blade
Rock Smash!
"Guh" One got slashed.
"Puh" and another one crashed.
It's Uriel and Testa!
"What!"
Gretel was surprised by another appearance of 2 Senior levels.
Puh
Puh
Puh
On the other side.
He saw the 3 Earth Users die.
"You dare to let a Senior (E) against me? It seems you're underestimating my level!" Tristan looked at him and sneered.
Then he activated the use "9 Pound Slash" toward Gretel.
"Hmph" Gretel immediately dodge and activated his wand.
Then Testa and Uriel were about to attack Gretel.
"You also go and help me" Gretel looked at his 2 subordinates.
The other 2 suddenly appeared in front of Testa and Uriel..
Gretel standing looking at Tristan nervously. He was holding something in his hand as if this thing was his last assurance against Tristan.
He activated his elements.
"Wind Boost!"
He immediately distanced away.
"Wind Bullet"
There are many small bullets made up of wind coming toward Tristan.
He was also a Senior (M)
He thought he can delay Tristan a bit plus with the thing on his other hand. But Tristan immediately dodges the 'Wind Bullet' and deflects the others using his sword.
"Wind Vortex"
"Wind Blade"
Tristan immediately hides against the vortex...
Tsching...
He parried the 'Wind Blade' and since the 'Wind Blade' was not fully solid he also take some damage on it. But it seems no effect on him on contrary, his eye was getting redder.
He immediately increased his movement.
When Tristan already appeared within 3 meters, You can see the smoke coming out of his mouth. Greten also prepared the things on his hands.
"Go to hell!" When he was about to throw it away, he saw Tristan already appeared in his front.
What?
Thunder Breathing 1st Form: Double Slash Flash Cutter!
Tristan's two swords instantly cut his head!
Kuh...
Greten only saw his headless body in the ground and he immediately closed his eyes.
