The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
65. The Fire Bird Lord's
"That is the power that once killed the Ant Lord one on one, the power possessed by the strongest S rank Hunter in the world, the Sky Star Swordsman Black Cloak..."
Frans smiled faintly, feeling that the Stars were stronger than him in many aspects regardless of their age, which was far adrift, more than twenty years, even nearly thirty years.
Even so, he felt an awkwardness in every Star attack.
"Is Star grandfather holding back?" Vigo raised his eyebrows, "His attack felt held back..."
"Usually, he would finish off rank C and rank B Monsters in a single attack, but now, he finished rank C in two attacks. What's the matter?" the man with the rifle on his back asked, "Has he been hiding something?"
In the ranks of the SS Hunter rank, there is a container other than Oga, namely Tom who is now staring at the Star with an anxious look.
"How can Grandpa Bintang stand to fight at the age of twilight?" he murmured, "Don't the system already exhaust its stamina just to maintain its fitness?"
Maintaining that much strength in the very old age is not easy, even the system will have difficulty maintaining that strength.
For now, Tom saw that Oga's abilities were beginning to decline, while he still hadn't seen Yun Xing and the Stars, so he would have a hard time guessing how high they were in their twilight years.
The Containers are given the ability to see the levels of their fellows, and Tom is able to see the levels, Oga, and Stars.
Currently, Oga had a level 168, Star level 160, while he had a level 180, making him the strongest Container for now.
He doesn't know the level limit, nobody can tell him because nobody knows...
"Does Grandpa Star exercise daily?" Yuuki raised his index finger, "The reason chairman Oga was able to maintain his ability even though it was still declining, was because he still continued to exercise lightly."
"Even if it's just light exercise, it shouldn't be as much to maintain its ability." Alex folds his hand, before Tom leaves due to being called by Esterosa.
The time felt long as they watched the Star fight facing dozens of Monsters alone, some felt trembling upon seeing it, some more prayed that the Stars would be given salvation.
Before long, Tom came up with a matted face and he said, "Look at this..."
The screen was split in two, one displaying the situation outside the plane, at the place where the Star was fighting, and another displaying the tangled face of a man.
The man was William and he explained the situation, and Vigo raised his hand, "Do I need to go to Europe to help? The purple gate never appeared in Hunter history, so it could have been a threat more terrifying than the red gate."
The atmosphere was instantly silent as Vigo asked so, and only three words were successfully accepted by the people and William.
"Wait for my next command."

The star leapt back and took its breath, "New tens, it seems..."
[Restoring Stamina]
The star raised its sword and unsheathed it, "Penetrate the Sky!"
He darted quickly forward and thrust his sword, piercing through the chest of one Monster shaped like a huge tall human.
"It can still be.." he muttered and the Black Flame Sword grew smoldering, even thin fumes emerged from his blade, "Just like this is still lacking!"
He jumped up and raised his sword high, "Splitting the Ocean!"
With a loud shout that sounded in that place, the Star split the body of that huge Monster with its already burning red-flamed sword.
The slash closed his fight and he stood up straight with his sword flame already turned off. The blade slowly changed color back to black.
[Warning! Your stamina has touched the number 5!]
[HP will be consumed in place of Stamina!]
"Alright, it's useless, I'll just use Stamina to walk back.." he muttered as he raised his shoulders.
From a distance, the Hunters who had no time to help could only be stunned to see the great abilities of the Sky Star in its old age.
"If an individual like the Star Grandfather was that strong, able to clear half the waves by himself, why would we come here?"
***
"It's too easy." said the Star to Tom, "I'm reporting to the Raid leader."
"The whole second wave was taken care of, just waiting for the third wave" said the Star as she held up her phone, "I just received word from Adi, that they had managed to complete the wave in southern Iceland."
"Well, since the second wave is over, and it's noon, it's good to rest first..." Tom lifted the mic and said loudly, "Teacher, back off!"
***
Not much loss occurred in the initial two waves, and for the Stars, there was no time to relax because they were in the battlefield.
During the break, Tom also received word that the gate in the Hawaiian Islands had been closed, and Yen Jiu with Yao Zhong would move with his troops towards Iceland.
"At least it's good news, Iceland is the center of everything, so their help I think is the best right at the moment" Joko said, before being hit on the head by the Star.
"Have you forgotten where there are gates?! If a lot of troops are gathered here, then in other areas where there are gates will lack strength." The star glanced at Tom, "Do you think the waves will continue for another two days?"
"It should be..." Tom stroked his chin, "I haven't been in Raid in a long time, mostly Mark and Jenny anyway, understandably, the American territory is too large for StarSam to handle, so most of our Hunters are scattered all over America, he said, when there's a gate, little Hunter's coming, but the results are good."
"So?" The star shook his hand, "How did you decide?"
Before Tom answered, there was a call from the StarSam forces on guard in Brazil.
"I'll lift..." Alex raises his hand and grabs the mic.
After he lifted the mic, a panicked voice rang out and Alex instantly moved it to a screen in the control room.
"Chairman! Danger is happening in Brazil! Two SS-ranked monsters appeared and chairman Oga was holding him for now!"
The atmosphere instantly quieted down, and Yuuki clenched his hands, "Chairman Oga!"
Tom closed his eyes, "The journey to New Washington to Brazil by fighter plane is three hours, if by armored plane, then it takes even shorter time, about two hours."
"But will the time be enough?" joko asked, and suddenly, Mark raised his index finger.
"We're sending Yen Jiu to Brazil! The distance must be close by now!" exclaim Mark.
Everyone nodded, and Tom grabbed the mic and said, "You guys wait a minute, BraveWarrior will be there! You guys help Oga Ojisan the best you can!"
The call was closed and Tom immediately contacted Yen Jiu again, notifying him of the change in direction.
"Okay, we'll do it." Yen Jiu replied before he ordered the pilot to change course.
Tom put down the mic and closed his eyes, while Yuuki was holding back his regret could not help his chairman and teacher when he was in trouble.
