The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
86. Conclusion and new weapons
"Corn, have you concluded the current situation based on the news?" my grandfather asked me after the training was over.
"Yes, I can conclude.." I took my breath, "So..."
I can say the strength of the frontline of mankind has decreased considerably with the retirement of one Hunter rank SS, one Hunter rank SS who died, and three Hunter rank SS who have retired, when Raid came back, and right now they say they won't interfere in any fight.
Just imagine, the four SS-ranked Hunters that humanity relied on have now retreated from the fight, and another died, as well as the news that the Icelandic Raid had taken the Hunter's toll of five hundred people, as well, that alone was enough to make the power of mankind reduced considerably.
But instead, the one good news that eased the bad news was about the presence of one Hunter rank SSS in the world. Tom Cage was promoted to the second SSS Hunter rank in the world.
The achievement that made him promoted to the highest rank ever achieved by humans is because of his success leading the Iceland Raid which is considered dangerous in the eyes of the IHO, even the Icelandic Raid is called the equivalent of Disaster, and managed to win.
In addition, he managed to hold the big snake that became the last Monster in the Raid with several Hunters, until finally help from various regions came and helped him to finish him off.
The opinion of Neil the head of the IHO was reinforced by the opinion of Yun Xing who saw firsthand how ferocious Tom was when burning the mouth of the large snake.
"I saw it, when the ferocious fire that Tom launched burned until the Monster's brain was charred by the intense pressure of the fire..." That was Yun's opinion, which made Tom promoted to SSS rank Hunter.
"In my opinion, just rising up the ranks is not enough to make the power of mankind increase.." I closed my conclusion, "It needs some people with great power, it needs some people, perhaps an increase in S rank could guarantee the strength of the human race increased."
My grandfather stroked his chin, "I don't think you've been able to analyze that far..."
"Don't be proud!" zon's exclamation made me realize because well, I'm happy to be praised like that by my grandfather.
"So?" I asked, curious about my grandfather's other reaction.
"That just adds to the consideration you should be stronger in no time!" all of a sudden, my grandfather hit my head hard, until my HP was reduced a little.
[698/700]
"Your grandfather intends to kill you again?!"
"Where do I know!" I rubbed the back of my head that hurt, even though the DEF points I had exceeded 44 points, still the unarmed attack my grandfather launched hurt.
"Wake up! Now you will practice the Earth Sword Stream again! You must have forgotten!"
***
The Earth Sword School was a collection of moves taught by my grandfather lately, before he went to the United States to follow the Raid.
During the time I used it, I felt several times that the Earth Sword Stream was strong enough to be used in combat. I think this is gonna be my mainstay...
After finishing swinging the sword up and down over a hundred times, I sat down for a while and took a breath.
On that day, I saw the Black Fire Sword that remained black despite being in the sunlight.
"The sword not only looks strange, but feels very strong and mysterious." Zon said, "His appearance looks terrible, giving the impression of death to anyone who sees it, including me."
"The air it emits is also not the air that ordinary firearms emit, even though your body cannot feel it, but I can feel it."
This strange thing had started to appear ever since Zon had appeared in my mind, and since then, I had been helped many times by him to train.
Moments later, my grandfather appeared carrying three objects, namely a pair of iron gloves and a sword, which I knew as the Demonic Dragon Sword.
My grandfather stopped in front of me and said, "Wear this.." while handing over the three things he held.
I looked at him with a faint smile, I knew all three things.
That pair of iron gloves was the Chicken Claw of Fire, the firearm my father left behind at SuraBaya headquarters, and that curved sword was the Demonic Dragon Sword, the first firearm I had.
I took it and put on the iron glove and raised my right hand.
"Greatness.." My grandfather stroked his chin, "When the circumference of his arms looked the same..."
I scratched my head with a hand that was already wearing the Fire Chicken Claw, and when I raised my hand, my hand felt a little heavy.
"Ugh.." I grimaced with the weight of my own hand, "But it's still within my reach."
"The Fire Chicken Claw is calculated to weigh five hundred grams, so you should be able to wear it after going through a strenuous exercise that focuses on the power in your hand." My grandfather stroked his chin, "So I can say it, so, it's light."
But my grandfather didn't lie anyway, the Fire Chicken Claw I was wearing felt light as I adapted to it.
"Yes, grandfather was right, the Claw of the Fire Rooster felt light in my hand a long time ago." I said what I felt.
"Good then.." my grandfather walked away, "Now you hand over your two swords to grandfather, you're practicing enough with the Claw of the Fire Rooster."
He went away, leaving me standing thinking hard, what could I do with the Claw of the Fire Rooster.
[Skill active Blow of Destruction strengthened! Any punches launched with a hand wearing the Fire Chicken Claw will be strengthened by up to 30%!]
[Fire Bursts active Skill can be used!
Terms:
Reach level 20 (Accomplish)
Have a firearm that can spout fire (Not yet)]
I put up my position, with my hands clenched and already wearing the Fire Chicken Claw, as well as my legs wide open, I launched my punch forward.
"Blow of Destruction!"
I felt the wind tremble for a moment from my punch, and I repeated the same movements over and over again, until my grandfather finally came close.
"You've learned what a punch is, it's good that you learn stalking, avoidance, deception, and counterattack with your bare hands." said my grandfather, "I'm sure you can understand it..."
Abis this time skip yo...
