The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
29. Great General Black Hunter
My grandfather looked ahead and widened his eyes, "He..."
"Grandfather, who's this uncle?" I asked with my body shaking.
Although not a Hunter, but something in me told me to be wary of the person in front of me right now.
"I am Tang Liao the Black Ruler, you called me a Hunter ranked SSS, a Great General of China, and a Ruler..." The man placed both his hands on his waist, "It seems like the Hunter has now started to weaken, don't you think? Little star?"
My grandfather clenched his hands and drew his sword, "What do you mean to say that you are Black Ruler?! Don't make it up!"
"Why indeed? The fact that the Hunter rank SSS is still alive is before your eyes..." Tang Liao sighed, "It looks like I should teach you a lesson..."
After Tang Liao said so, I immediately heard a loud shout in my ear, "Chuck, watch out!"
It was too late for him to say so, because now two sharp blades of sword were stuck to the side of my neck, as well as my grandfather.
While my grandfather, he did not have time to react with the attack and he raised his sword, "What the fuck?"
"This is the power of the Void Emperor, so don't try to fight against me just because you are the Fire Bird Lord's Container..." Tang Liao and I did not understand a single thing he said.
The emperor? The lord? Void Emperor's? The Fire Bird Lord? The container? The power of the Void Emperor? What the fuck is all that? I don't understand at all!
"Em-Emperor? Do they really exist?" My grandfather lowered his sword, as did Tang Liao who pulled his sword again from the side of our neck and sheathed it on his back.
"Do you really think that Emperor doesn't exist? Of course there were, but only a few, only five Lords had managed to evolve into Emperor..." Tang Liao sat next to me, "Void Emperor, Flame Emperor, Ice Emperor, Black Emperor, and lastly is Death Emperor. The power of all five is terrible, and I've fought one of them in Greenland."
"So, the rumor about you fighting the Monster with the ice element is true? I can't believe that..." My grandfather stroked his chin, making me even more confused.
Why doesn't anyone get into my brain?! Go right out left?!
"His name is Ice Emperor, he is the strongest number one if in Antarctica, the Arctic, Greenland, Everest, the Pacific, the Indies, or in the Atlantic, but he is the strongest number five if fighting in the Sahara, Indonesia, Death Valley, or Lut because he can't keep all his ice power in the heat..." Tang Liao sighed, "Right, if only I didn't have half the full strength of the Void Emperor, I could have died fighting the Ice Emperor alone..."
"There's also a rumor that says that when Raid went to Everest, you were killed there and all that was found was one of the two Sky Devourers, but why are you still alive? How-to? Wasn't that more than fifty years ago?" My grandfather immediately asked me various things, "I asked for the answer."
"Ah, before discussing the story on Everest, it's good that you know my age when the last Raid to Everest and my age now..."
"My age when the Raid to Everest was fifty-five years, after counting the time after my death on Everest, my age is now..." Tang Liao was speechless, "A hundred and fifty years old, not a young age, right?"
I was silent, but there was someone older than my grandfather...
"But I've retired as a Hunter, I spent my last days being a monk and meditating, seeking tranquility..." Tang Liao said, "And while I was meditating, I felt the pressure of the five Lords in Indonesia, so I moved here at high speed, wearing a rowboat..."
Huh huh? Rowboats? Don't joke, the strong currents in the sea are different from the currents in the river, don't be stupid, old man...
Eh? Where do I get this kind of thinking?
"Pe-Pe-Boat... Paddle?!" My grandfather couldn't believe that.
I nodded quickly, "I want to become a Hunter, then reach SSS rank, and avenge all the enemies that destroyed my city!"
"Good spirit, I'm praising it..." Tang Liao ruffled my hair, "But the path to the SSS rank is not easy, many obstacles are passed in order to reach it."
"A lot of people would probably think that SSS rank is impossible to achieve, even people think that it takes superpowers to achieve it, but to me, it all depends on talent and determination to achieve it."
"No matter if you have the strongest firearm, the best talent among others, the best equipment, join the strongest Hunter organization, but if you do not have the determination, the best talent among others, have the best equipment, then all that is useless. Remember that's fine..."
Tang Liao stood up and he patted me on the shoulder and my grandfather then said, "I go first, when the next Raid, I will definitely appear..."
He walked away and before long, he disappeared in the thickets of trees in the forest.
"Void Emperor?" My grandfather muttered something, and I could hear him.
"Who is he, grandpa? Is he strong?" My toot.
"Which one? Hunter rank SSS or Void Emperor?" Ask my grandfather back.
"Both..."
My grandfather took a breath and started telling stories...
In other worlds, other than there being a God that ruled over Monsters, there were also Emperors that controlled all existing Lords.
These Emperors, just like Tang Liao had said earlier, numbered only a few, and all of them possessed powers capable of destroying the Asian continent in just two strikes. In short, they were gods in another world.
"Oh yes, if these Emperors are from another world and are Monsters, why did that person have the power of one Emperor?" Ask again.
"Look, if in this world humans are divided into organizations that sometimes fight with each other, in other worlds the Monsters also fight with each other, with their commanders being the Emperors."
"There are two purposes for which the Monsters are divided, namely the goal of ruling this world by force, and another of protecting this world, by lowering their power a little."
"There are some Hunters who have that power, there are some..." My grandfather stopped telling me, "Grandfather is one of them..."
"Huh?"
"You just pray for a little power from God and Emperor who side with humans..." My grandfather raised his six fingers, "Only six Hunters have the strange power of that other world..."
"Grandfather, uncle, and the others, are out there..." My grandfather said, making me believe that what I'm hearing is not nonsense.
"I know whose power resides in your body..." The voice that was warning me to be wary of Tang Liao sounded and hearing it made me speechless.
What the hell does that mean?
