The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
41. Streams of Earth Sword and Raid
"Grandfather, I'm home..."
I opened the door and saw my grandfather holding his black cell phone.
I looked at him with a serious face, I was trying to guess what he was doing with his phone.
Lately, my grandfather has been holding his phone too often with a serious face, I'm sure that I didn't see it wrong, but what I saw was really never seen before.
My grandfather who I have often seen was an old man who was always cheerful, funny, stubborn, and always forced his will on me, but what I saw today was different than usual.
I gulped and walked in, and I greeted my grandfather while putting groceries on the table, "Grandfather, I'm coming."
"Ah, welcome..." My grandfather put his cell phone in his shorts pocket, "How's the enemy? Weak or strong?"
I placed the Demonic Dragon Sword on the table and replied with an annoyed face, "It's so weak! I even decapitated him with a single slash!"
My grandfather smiled faintly and he sat down and placed both his hands on the table, "Good then..."
I looked at my grandfather deeply, I was sure he would say again.
"That means you've grown stronger, from fighting dogs with chainsaws to fighting wolves with swords." My grandfather added, "You should be proud of that."
I smiled broadly and laughed, "Hahaha, I am the Sky Satria Hunter! Ahaha!"
My grandfather smiled slightly and he turned his face away, making me stop my laughter and look at him again, "What's the matter?"
"Ah, there's no..." My grandfather shook his head, "Did you find something in the market?"
"Something?"
"Sort of awkwardness?" he asked with a flat face, irritating me when I saw him.
Aisshhh, a little boy like me was told to notice the awkwardness in an incident?! This grandpa!!
But well, I'm glad that my grandfather is back as he was before, but I guess it's just the present...

His noon...
"It is a good idea to always slash the Demonic Dragon Sword with all your might!" My grandfather cried while eating a banana, "It's less!"
I clucked in annoyance and raised my sword again, and slashed it down, until a gentle breeze emerged from my slash and shocked my grandfather.
"You... Is it able to cut the wind? Too early.." my grandfather approached me and patted me on the shoulder, "Then you must learn a stream of swords."
"Huh?"
"The sword stream is a collection of sword styles, of which these are not just any moves, but moves that reflect the name of the group..." My grandfather said, "One of them is the Earth's Sword Stream."
As far as I could see, all the moves my grandfather wore were great and cool to look at, so I was very excited when my grandfather used to teach me how to use a sword.
"So, since you have managed to split the wind, which is the beginning of your long journey of swordsmanship, grandfather will teach you a collection of moves called the Earth Sword Stream." My grandfather took the sword I was holding, "See this..."
My grandfather raised his sword up his head high and swung it down quickly, until a strong wind emerged from his slash.
"This freedom is called Splitting the Ocean, but usually grandfather is wrong said anyway, so Splitting the Mountain..." My grandfather scratched his head, "Next..."
My grandfather raised his sword to the left, put his sword blade close to the left side of his chest and swung it to the right, and a strong wind again appeared.
"The Name Slashes the Mountain..."
After that my grandfather put up the position again and advanced his left leg, his right leg bent slightly, the tip of his sword pointed forward and pulled slightly behind him, so that my grandfather faced right, the tip of his sword pointed forward, it then thrust its sword forward, releasing the wind pressure that blew in front of it.
"The Name Hits the Sky..."
My grandfather glanced to the left and said, "This is a very secret style, which I rarely show to the world..."
My grandfather raised his sword and was seen, the previously silver-colored Demon Dragon Sword blade turned a fiery red, there was even a fire enveloping the blade.
After which, my grandfather darted forward at high speed, with his sword piercing forward and from his movements, looking like a fast-moving flame.
Fortunately my grandfather remembered stopping himself, otherwise he would have hit the fence of his own house...
"The name is Spatial Puncture!" My grandfather cried and he came back, "Wait there..."
Well, whatever I go for, my grandfather's sword carries it...
"The Earth Sword Stream has not much of a stance, only seven and the new grandfather showed only four, because the other three require breathing and Stamina very much to be able to do it." My grandfather said, "But let you not take a nap out of curiosity, grandfather will show you three more..."
My grandfather raised his sword again and took his breath, making me believe that what my grandfather said just now was not nonsense, but what he had felt for himself.
Breathing slowly came out of my grandfather's nose, and he sharpened his eyes and ran at high speed, with his sword swinging to and fro, making the wind in my grandfather's courtyard chaotic.
The wind blew in all directions, flying the dry leaves that were strewn over the courtyard, and my grandfather moved on with his sword which started to emit red flames.
My eyes widened looking at him, is the sword covered in fire one of the skills my grandfather possesses?
My grandfather's running steps stopped in front of the entrance of his yard, he put in a position like the beginning of Penetrating the Sky, and he darted quickly, until he stopped behind me, and after his movement, he, a fire appeared in the path my grandfather had previously passed.
"The name of the Earth King Dance."
"New five..." My grandfather caught his breath, he drew his sword and stretched his fingers, until it rang out, "Two more..."
My grandfather drew his sword and just as he was intending to put up a position, a crackling sound rang out and my grandfather dropped his sword and knelt down while holding his right arm.
"Well, I guess I'm overzealous..." My grandfather smiled bitterly, "This old body is no longer strong enough to fight anymore..."
Well, since I couldn't bear to see my grandfather kneeling on the ground, I chose to help him stand up and invite him back home.

Nights...
"Eh, uh, uh, uh, sick!"
Right now, I'm massaging my grandfather's arm and well, maybe I'm overdoing my energy...
"Don't be too loud! This old bone could break!"
"Yes sorry..." I continued the massage, until my grandfather finally cleared his throat for a moment.
"Sky..." My grandfather cleared his throat, "There's something you want to say..."
"What's that?"
"Look..." My grandfather closed his eyes, "Grandfather, I think you're going back to fighting with RedWhite."
"Huh?! What does that mean?! Isn't grandpa retired?!"
"There is no retirement meaning to quit a job in the Hunter world, the real retirement is when the Hunter died in the fight." Said my grandfather, "So grandfather does not retire, just rest from the harshness of the Hunter world."
"So?" I think I'm starting to understand...
"In Iceland, a gate appeared and took out hundreds of spiders that flattened Iceland in one strike. The six strongest Hunter organizations set out to reclaim Iceland from the spider's hands and guard it, and in that plan, RedWhite expects to have grandfather return and help them in this Raid."
Ever since I studied history with my grandfather, I've always heard the word Raid, what does it mean to try?
"Grandfather, what is Raid?"
"Raid is an attack on a territory with the aim of taking back the territory and guarding it with the help of the Hunter organization that is near the region. Raid also means attacking an individual or one powerful Monster with great power, not one Hunter against one Monster, not one Hunter against many Monsters, but one Monster against many Hunters."
"You still remember the events of the three dragons that descended in the last three hundred years, don't you? The united Hunters formed a huge army and attacked the dragon, right? That's Raid too."
I nodding to hear it, I understand what Raid means. In other words, my grandfather planned to follow that Raid and help the combined forces of the powerful Hunter organization, so...
"When did grandpa leave?"
"Grandfather was actually waiting for news from Frans, he was taking care of the plan with Tom Cage and Oga Haruno." My grandfather.
Tom Cage's? Tom Cage mentioned by Christo, right? What kind of burn arm is that, right? He is called by Christo as the strongest SS rank Hunter in the whole world, is the spider that he can not face alone?
Haruno Oga? Whoan? I don't know, hehehe...
My grandfather's phone rang and my grandfather grabbed it and answered the phone.
"Good!"
