The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
130. The Scarlet Cloak Warrior
"Old man, have you been there all your life, always living alone?" I asked after my vision turned dark.
"No, I'm with a lot of friends, but they were already killed during the First Practitioner's World War." replied Zon, looking down.
Strength, courage, determination, are of little use when fighting to protect the person close to Duvian, pain must be felt...
I still hear the words of Duvian when his teacher was killed, that his ambition was to protect his loved ones, he must have learned from his mistakes in his previous life, which failed to protect his mother.
"But I failed to protect them, once again..." Zon clenched his hand, until I saw his hand covered in a huge fire, "But, my next life, I can do it..."
I looked at everything with a look of admiration, for Zon, his failure to protect his loved ones became his motivation to change even better in the next life.
Zon was born into a family of practitioners, where since childhood he had lived a luxurious life, but unfortunately he did not want all that, he just wanted nothingness.
Surely Zon hides his true desire, he wants to become stronger by studying in the wild.
He ran away from his home and adventured, until he met a practitioner who helped him out of pity, simply picked up.
"I was so stupid back then, I kept forgetting my wishes and kept running away, because I felt that he was weak and would not be able to match Zhao's teacher, but unfortunately, he changed everything..." Zon smiled bitterly.
I could see that the details of each incident were completely present, in contrast to the previous two short and much-cut lives, which meant oblivion.
His name was Tenzhu, that was the name of teacher Zon now. If I noticed, Tenzhu didn't show much of her ability, so I had a hard time estimating how strong Tenzhu really was.
I laughed when I saw Zon kneeling before his teacher and exclaiming that he would train hard to become a practitioner so as not to be underestimated by Monsters.
"Funny right? That's another thing that makes me want to practice the science of immortality." said Zon, "I want to show you every detail, but it's going to take time..."
Zon trained hard under Tenzhu's guidance, along with one other person who had blue hair.
I stared at one part, which made me think of my grandfather again.
“Teacher, why do I practice bare-handed science?” ask Zon.
“You're an expert in swordsmanship, aren't you? There will be a time when your sword will come out of your hand and you will not be able to take it, that is when your bare hands will come in handy.” replied Tenzhu.
“Then I will also practice the science of bare hands so that if my sword is broken or broken, I am protected by the science of bare hands, so?” ask Zon, deepen his understanding.
“More or less so..” Tenzhu ruffled Zon's hair that was pitch-black.
"Great words from my teacher." said Zon and he sighed.
The two trained hard, until Tenzhu died at the hands of his enemy, along with the blue-haired man who was his student.
Zon, who saw him, was enraged and vowed to avenge his teacher's death.
"Things that repeat again." I said, and Zon nodded.
After that, Zon adventured and found the sect from which his teacher's killer came, and he came forward intent on destroying the sect, but unfortunately he lost and almost got killed, but someone came.
"His name is Tianyun." said Zon, and a person dressed in blue appeared and helped him from the dead.
After that, the two became close friends, ventured together to various places, and trained together. Until the day that their friendship broke up for one thing...
"Zon, back! We haven't talked about the deal!" Tianyun chased after the fleeing Zon carrying two swords.
In the end, Tianyun did not chase after him and chose to carry one sword alone and throw out the other four swords.
Zon adventures alone again, looking for someone who can be a worthy opponent for him, and unfortunately, he is too strong, no one can fight him.
"Long training led me to one big thing, about being a god." said Zon, "I found him..."
Zon discovers the secret to being a god, but unfortunately his record is incomplete because the Ape Sakti who gave him is unwilling to give more and chooses to leave.
Eventually, he went on another adventure and met Tianyun again, when he was almost a thousand years old, invited by a man dressed all in green to stop the war that was happening at that time.
"The Second Practitioner World War involved a lot of practitioners and took a lot of lives" Zon said.
After that, Zon goes to a strange forest that has a force that suppresses him and lives alone there, until he feels something.
"Where is terrible! Exceeding the full capacity of Manaku!" Zon went to the place where he sensed the Mana of that mighty power, and met three men, two men and one woman.
The three people did not believe that Zon was a strong person, so Zon showed it by shooting one tree and burning it, making the three of them believe and asking Zon to be their teacher.
Two years was spent training the three of them, and after that, something approached him, the era of war was about to begin again.
Zon was offered to join the White Stream, but he did not want to and chose to run away, going alone again.
Not a year ago, he met with three of his students, along with one person he had once considered a friend, Tianyun.
Zon and Tianyun teamed up to train the three people and make the three of them stronger than before.
In just two years, the three men decided to go on another adventure and leave the two teachers behind.
"I don't remember much, but for sure, I'm going to jump right into one big life-changing event in that world..."
Zon fights off one powerful creature and cuts off his arm, before an auction is conducted and he gets involved in that auction, as a guard.
One of his students, carrying a medicine that was able to regrow his arm as it was, and the medicine worked on Zon, even making his previously severed arm grow back stronger than before.
The auction that was done, went smoothly, before something appeared.
"Sky, we stop here..." Zon suddenly said, and his new memories reached the part where the rampaging Zone destroyed the auction place it was done, instantly disappearing, "Something comes, I don't know what it is..."
I was confused, but I didn't have time to ask because I immediately felt my body again and Zon disappeared.

I opened my eyes slowly, and looked at Vina who was sitting in front of me with a sweet smile, as I opened my eyes completely, Vina asked me, "Is her sleep good?"
"Yes.." I stretched my hands up, and I widened my eyes to see the atmosphere in the classroom, "Eh?! It's afternoon?!"
"Yes, you slept from eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and now it's five o'clock in the afternoon." said Vina, "We couldn't wake you up, so Andhika, Dusk, and Rei had gone first with Carroline."
"Do what?"my many.
"Round around.." replied Vina then turned her face from my sight, "For now, wash your face first, there is drool dripping in your mouth..."
