The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
244. Letter from the Ice Emperor

"What ritual are you going to do? Don't say dutifully to defeat the Emperors before the battle?" Rei glanced at me horror, "You are the Sky that always does things..."

"You talk again, bullets will land on your head." Vina pointed her gun at Rei's head, with her finger touching the trigger.

"But I think Rei's right, are you intending to do some witchcraft?" Dusk glanced at me suspiciously, "Hey, that's not an action that a Hunter rank SSS can do like you..."

"Oh come on, you know me, you know I can't do anything other than fight and fight, how can I possibly learn that kind of thing? After all, I rarely get out of the office, so there's less chance that I can do it!" I hit the edge of the chair, "You believe me, right?"

"Hmm, I don't think the details of the ritual need to be explained..." Vina put the gun in her pocket after I heard her pull something, "That's it, I'll come along to make sure."

BUURPR!

Dusk spouted his tea over my face, and I stood up quickly, "Huh?!"

"You have a bad feeling about our SSS Hunter rank?" rei asked after he drank his coffee, "Me too, so I entrusted the man to you."

Hey, hey, hey, what bad feeling do you guys mean?! Do you guys think I'll actually do some witchcraft?!!

"Remember sin, Heaven, sin! You can get stuck in hell if you hit on a guy like that." Rei folded his hands, "What about Sky Satria? Losing his mind the suit failed to finish Emperor off?"

For now, I have to explain it a little...

"I'll call the Flame Emperor's army." I said briefly, and I saw the joking faces of my three friends changed.

"Ah, so that's the reason anyway..." Vina nodded as she sat next to Rei, "You came to the mountain so that your actions are not seen by people, are you?"

"Yes, it can be complicated if people know that Hunter rank SSS are revered around the world in cooperation with Monsters." I explained, "Why mountains, not forests? That's because the mountain is more remote and difficult to trace the community, besides, the forest in Java contains many small villages, I'm worried that the villagers can see the ritual."

"What kind of ritual are you going to do?" ask Dusk.

"I made a bonfire and prayed long, in the hope that the Flame Emperor's forces could appear, and I also planned to summon the two most influential figures in the Archipelago in the past." I smiled broadly, "Raja and Patih were able to unite the archipelago and several surrounding countries under one royal flag."

"So I hope you can help me cover my original purpose of going to the mountain." I bowed a little, "Please..."

"Ah, easy it's uh..." Rei laughed out loud, "I'll make them believe that you went to visit your grandfather's grave."

"Unfortunately my grandfather was already buried in the hero's grave." I raised my face and looked at Rei, "You're this how the hell?"

"Eh? I don't know!" Rei scratched his head.

"I think Mount Semeru is the best to do your goal." said Dusk, "In addition to high, there are also a few monsters, so you can focus more there..."

"I'll keep an eye on you." said Vina, "I'll be the vice-chairman of RedWhite watching over you."

"Whatever.." I leaned my back against the back of the chair while drinking my coffee.

Raja and Patih, I hope they will cooperate with me...

"The sky, are you still inside?" a subtle voice rang out from outside the door, and I just let out my breath.

"Yes, I'm still inside" I replied, and the woman in casual clothes in the form of short-sleeved shirts and trousers came in carrying a bottle that I didn't know what it contained.

"It's late, don't you intend to go home?" ask the woman and sit in front of me.

"No, I want to spend my nights in the office." I took my coffee mug, "I want to feel like an adult..."

"Hmm, I see.." she put down the bottle she was holding, "Sometimes I envy you..."

"Huh? Repeat again.." I took the bottle he put down and opened it, "My life is not as good as you think..."

"Imagine, born to a family with a great background, powerful strength since childhood, trained by the best Hunter-Hunter trainers from RedWhite, he said, having a parent with a respected position in the world, isn't that something you deserve to be proud of?" the woman placed her hands on the table, "What else is missing from your life?"

"There is less, which is the affection of parents and brothers themselves." I replied.

You can't imagine losing your family at such a young age...

I finally got to see my dad again and yesterday I met my mom again, but what about my sister? L'm... I feel like seeing him again...

Star Brother who dreamed of becoming the strongest Hunter in the world, is now lying in the ground, and his dream has been realized by becoming a Hunter rank SSS and standing above other Hunters.

"If my brother were alive, he would be proud of me..." Mumbles.

The woman sighed, and for the first time, I realized the one thing that really made that woman named Vina different from all the women my age I had ever met...

She's gorgeous... Yes, in my room lit only by the moonlight, she looked very beautiful, although I was a little annoyed by her attitude all along...

"Good night, Lord Fire Emperor..."

"Please sit down, honorable messenger sir." I pointed to the chair in front of me, "Let's have tea together while joking..."

In the bottle that Vina had brought, it contained still hot tea, and it would only take one cup if the Ice Emperor messenger came to sit down and have tea with us.

"If you like that, then fine.." a creature that looks like a human and wears full combat clothing sits in the seat next to Vina, "Excuse me..."

He put a letter on the table and put his hands on the table and sat in silence.

Vina glanced at the creature then looked at me, "Why did you let it sit next to me?"

"If you don't want to sit with him, then you can change places with me.." I poured tea into a cup and placed it in front of the Ice Emperor's messenger, "Please..."

"Te-Te-.." Ice Emperor's messenger scratched his head, "Sial..."

"You don't have to be so nervous, just think of it like you're dealing with an Ice Emperor.." I smiled thinly then poured the tea into the cup again and placed it in front of Vina, "Nih, the tea."

"It's cold..." Vina took the cup and drank it, after she finished putting the cup down, "Why did you let her sit next to us and have tea together?"

"Simple, this is a truce before the war." I replied and then drank my tea, "Before the war, it's good to sit together, have tea or whatever, and then talk casually together..."

"Here I take the Ice Emperor's envoy to have tea together, so that he can enjoy a moment's peace of mind, before finally being killed by you or another SS rank Hunter." I leaned my back against the back of the chair, turning my seat and facing the window behind me, "And I will kill the Ice Emperor, Tyrant Emperor, and Dragon Emperor..."

"Are you going to do it alone?" the Ice Emperor's envoy's voice sounded, "You probably won't be able to do it..."

I turned around and faced Vina and the Ice Emperor's envoy, "Just trust me."

"It's not that I'm arrogant, but I know my limits, not even the Flame Emperor alone can survive the three Emperor's rumble. As the hope as well as the key that mankind believes is able to complete the Monster invasion, I must do so, even if I lose my mind, even my own life."

I lifted my cup, and my eyes felt a little wet, "Well, maybe I'll die young in my present life..."

I don't want to feel young death, I... My life is still long, I'm only fifteen, I don't even know the thing called love...

"Well, enough of the bases.." Ice Emperor's messenger took the scroll and opened it, "I'll read out the letter sent by Mr. Ice Emperor..."

"Ice Lord here, I just want to say something simple.

Because I have a good heart and understand the difficulties of mankind, so I lighten your burdens.

The end of 2329 will be your last days of peace and tranquility, yes, in just two months you enjoy peace and quiet, before we strike.

In February 2330, we will start attacking, understand that!

Lovely greetings from your brother, Ice Emperor..."

The Ice Emperor envoy rolled up his letter again, "That's all I can say, is there an answer?"

I closed my eyes and replied, "Tell me the affectionate thanks of his brother named Flame Emperor..."

"Alright, I will convey.." The Ice Emperor's envoy replied and his aura disappeared.

My eyes were still closed, I imagined the earth's chaos as the three Emperors deployed their entire army...

Ah, my head feels warm, like...

In another room...

"I think I'm going to have a hard time getting close to a woman named Vina, she really loves the sky.." The man in the black jacket folded his arms.

"If I take out the sky, will I? Can grandfather's relic sword defeat his flagship Black Fire Sword?" he sat down and laughed, "Well, how stupid I am to like someone else..."

His laughter filled the void of the watchdog room which was pitch-black...

Behind the door...

"I don't think it's Sky and Vina.." The woman in the red jacket put both her hands in her pants pocket, "They..."

"What do you see?" the man dressed casually came and wrapped his hands around the woman's shoulders, "Did you pay attention to Heaven and Vina?"

"Knowledge, huh?" the woman covered her face with both hands, "Damn..."

The man stared into the room, where one man was sitting on a chair with his head held by a woman.

What other destiny would be to approach those five companions this time? Are they really just friends, or is there something else between them?
