The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
138. City ruins
"What?! What is this?!" Rei jumped onto a pile of something white, "Is this a snow?!"
"Well, this white thing is called snow, you live in Indonesia so do not know this one thing..." Lee Shin glanced at Rei as he sighed, there was white steam coming out of his mouth, "December is the month where snow falls on the Northern hemisphere, as far as I know Indonesia is in the middle, the middle of the country, which one is exposed to sunlight all year round and it's hard to know what snow is."
"As a result of the Monster invasion, somehow the temperature on earth changed to normal, not much pollution was produced, most only from the smoke of the Strategic Missile that exploded, nothing more." Carroline explains, "Disregard that, where are we going now?"
"With us downstairs and setting foot in Canada, then the test has already begun." said Vina, and I nodded.
"This snowy situation must have made it difficult for the Monsters to move, but the same is true for us, so the safest thing is to keep moving together while looking for the Monsters" I explained, and the conclusion I took from the difficulty of moving my feet in the snow that is not too thick, and also the cold temperature was not able to be held by the Black Scale Coat!
[You're exposed to the Freeze effect! Your speed is down 10%!]
"Cold temperatures aren't an attack, so the black suit won't hold it." Zon sighed, "But, you obviously have one advantage of your own as the Flame Emperor's Container."
"Ah, my body is warm if it is near the Sky." Twilight stuck to my back, "The sky is our savior!"
Damn it, this means that Zone!

"The disciples have gone down, we have also equipped with bracelets that can show the location and number of Monsters killed." Yuuki said on one big screen in front of him, "And the exam will be done for an entire week."
"So far it's safe, right? There hasn't been a student who killed a monster, has he?" Tom asked, and Yuuki nodded.
"Not yet, I can say sending the Sky here was not the right decision." Yuuki shook his head, "The problem is, it's already winter and they'll have trouble finding the Monsters, because they might just hibernate."
"Monsters don't hibernate, they'll keep hunting until they die, there's no stopping in the Monsters' dictionary, so sooner or later the disciples will find the Monsters..."

Canada is nothing more than the ruins of an ordinary city, many ruined buildings are covered in snow, and there is no shelter for all of us.
"We don't bring enough food, which means we have to save food." Carl said as he pointed out his bag, "See?"
His bag contained several packages of bread he took from the plane's kitchen, and every day he said he would do it until the test was over.
"We can't find food here, the atmosphere is destroyed like this does not allow us to find a single bean, so we have to prepare it before leaving." said Carl.
"Well, that means it's a full test, a break on the plane." Vina pulled her rifle, "You hear that?"
I was silent, Vina's ears were sharp and she could hear far enough, beyond my reach though. He is very useful as a scout and sniper if there is a team.
"Unfortunately no..." Twilight shook his head, "What do you hear?"
"Like footsteps, steps dragged in the snow, quite noisy, because the snow here is quite thick, he has trouble moving." Vina placed her palm behind her ear, "I'm having trouble hearing her breath."
Two possibilities I thought of, one was a Monster, and the second was a human, a disciple like us.
Finding one man in Canada is very difficult, said my grandfather, Canada has been abandoned for a long time and became a country of death and became the most dangerous region on earth, because that's what I can think of.
"The monster?" Rei asked, "Corning?"

The ruins of the city became increasingly gripping, as the figure we were waiting for showed its appearance.
"Monster..." Lee Shin unsheathed his spear, "Strong Enough..."
He was like a tall and large man, with thick white fur on his back, a wolf-like head, red eyes, huge claws, and thin legs, that was the appearance of a Strong Enough Monster that we thought was just an ordinary Monster.
I glanced, all of them had already pulled their weapons, but no one dared to go forward because the Monster was large and I estimated two meters tall, equivalent to Tom's sir it felt...
"In my limits.." I pulled out the Black Flame Sword and turned on the heater, "At least, the commander of the forces of one of the Lords..."
Fighting against the commander of the Lord's army was something I had faced before, so fighting this big wolf was something I should be able to deal with.
I darted and jumped high, while the giant wolf looked surprised by the height of my jump and it moved backwards a little.
Although he was moving backwards, but his movement was slow and I managed to attack both sides of his chest and wound him deep enough that black blood dripped on the snow.
GGRRRAAAHHH!!!
I landed smoothly on the snow and ran past his feet while slashing at him, but unfortunately my slash this time had little effect on the position of the wolf.
I rolled away from the wolf and took a deep breath and exhaled, the snowy and cold situation made my move not as fast as I wanted.
"Hooh, it turns out the container is this interesting.." The wolf makes a sound and it's like talking, making me sure that he's a strong enough Monster.
[Grand Wolf (Lv. 65)]
I glanced at my friends and I saw they were just picking up their weapons, no one was advancing.
Okey... Faced...
"Everything! That monster is a very powerful monster, if you don't fight, then you will die!" I screamed loudly and ran again, "Think of that!"
I jumped up and raised my sword up high and then slashed it down, slashing the wolf's chest and black blood again adorning the white of the snow.
The wolf moved backwards, before a loud gunshot sounded, and the wolf's chest was hollow.
I guessed Vina did it, and I saw Rei running with both hands wearing Earth Destroyer and then jumping, both of his iron gloves were already brightly lit.
BUUAAGGH!
The sound of a punch rang out and Rei used both of his hands to forcefully open the wolf's mouth wide.
Meanwhile, Andhika jumped up and stabbed into the wolf's chest, but the wolf was able to dodge it and the prick just hit her shoulder. Andhika landed smoothly behind him.
Rei was still opening the wolf's mouth, and it was seen that he was unable to do so any longer, so he took it off and came down and landed perfectly.
"I think this could work..."
