The Hunter System
Chapter 208 - Raid In A New Era
As an experienced hunter who fought against gods and fought many times on a planet, Alvin had a new method of fighting.
In the past, he would face an army of monsters from the easiest to hardest location before coming to the location of the Dungeon boss's existence.
It was indeed commonly done also by hunters in general, to avoid dangerous situations at the beginning of the raid, as well as to assess the extent of the strength of monsters in a Dungeon.
But now, the location of the boss's whereabouts was what Alvin came to first.
By killing the boss at the beginning of the battle, the fighting mentality of the enemy forces will decrease.
Moreover, the boss who is now faced on every planet is a god of war, not the boss of the middle of nowhere from a Dungeon in a small area.
Seeing their war gods perish, of course, will make the mental creatures fall.
That's what Alvin has learned so far.
......................
After releasing Raymond hanging from his feet to join the flight together, Alvin stared at the face of the war god who was already wearing his battle armor.
["Why did you let him go? This distance is quite high."]
Alvin looked down, at Raymond who was rolling while holding one of his legs that was broken due to a wrong landing.
"Let it go, I'll cure it later. I'm going to count how many photos he's uploaded and I'm going to punish him like this, as many as those photos."
"not vengeful. It's like collecting debt."
Wush...
Alvin slightly shifted from his original place, avoiding the arrow that the war god threw with great anger after his chatter Alvin did not listen.
"Dagger rain."
A bluish light emerged from one of Alvin's palms which he pointed at the war god.
The blue light then turned into thousands of magic daggers and flew in pursuit of the war god, who instantly escaped after knowing how strong the magic energy contained within each dagger was.
The god of war that Alvin faced was only a god that came from the third caste in the world of the gods.
If the Zei god of the highest caste alone could be defeated, of course the poor war god he was now facing would not be able to do much on his magic.
Other than strength, with a huge difference in speed, the war god had already died within just 2 minutes of the magic daggers chasing after him.
With an additional 1 minute to go, Alvin has also finished off tens of thousands of planetary guardian angels who will always be there to accompany the god of war.
.........
As usual, after the strongest opponent of a planet was killed, only then did Rimi and the insect army take over the battle.
Rimi and an increasingly powerful army of insects circle the planet, searching for and killing all remaining creatures, although the number of remaining creatures is far greater, than the Earth hunters left behind.
Rimi and the insect army also made a very neat territorial expansion.
They clear the area in a straight line until the miner's helicopter can work safely right behind them.
.........
Alvin still has to be on the colonized planet for another 3 days, waiting for Rimi and the insect army to finish their job of clearing monsters from all the land and oceans that exist on the planet.
Rimi would also absorb all the Mana cores of the dead beings and the Mana cores would eventually make Alvin even more powerful.
While Raymond and his team will usually spend 1-2 weeks to dredge all the magic criatal left by the hunters before they give the hardest part to Alvin.
The most bothered of course Mina. His work to purify magic crystals was endless.
.........
"Ray, I'm out now!" alvin exclaimed from the air at Raymond who was monitoring the work of the unmanned helicopter while communicating with the pilots who were in the SUV outside the gate.
Raymond raised his hand and brandished his thumb.
"Give me the rest!"
......................
When he came out of the gate, Alvin immediately saw Cyntia who seemed to have been waiting for him with a gloomy face, which he had seen before the woman smiled sumringah after seeing herself coming out of the gate.
"Is there a problem?"
"Yes?"
"Your face looks gloomy."
"Do I look like that?"
Alvin nodded. Although his expression had changed, Alvin still had time to pay attention to it.
Cyntia sighed before telling her what was bothering her mind in the past 3 days.
"We lost track of Uncle Chris."
"Dearly enough. I should have chased him first."
"It wasn't your fault. Sam and his team are already searching across the Thousand Islands. It's just that they haven't found it."
Sighs...
'You haven't found Rimi yet?'
'Sorry to trouble you.'
"What's wrong?" alvin asked, looking at Cyntia who seemed silent like she did not want to disturb him.
"You're talking to Rimi and Mina?"
"...Yep... Sorry."
"No... No problem."
"Our conversation is over."
Cyntia smiled, "It's okay. There must be something important you're talking about, right?"
"...Y-yeah, but we're really done."
"All right."
Alvin smiled stiffly.
Lately, this kind of thing has made him always silence Mina and Rimi every time he is with Cyntia.
Cyntia is too understanding and appreciative of Mina and Rimi who she is not really familiar with.
That's because Cyntia considers Mina and Rimi as important figures in Alvin's life, which has made Alvin grow up to become his current self.
'Rome...'
["You embarrassed us."]
<...Forgive me>
"alright. Then let's go to the studio" Cyntia said cheerfully.
"Yes. Huh huh? The studio?"
"Yes. You're forgot?" Cyntia scrunched her forehead.
Glup...
"I-I remember."
Today it is their promise to make a prewedding photo and try on a wedding dress.
'Damn..., I haven't practiced smiling properly.'
'No!'
......................
Unlike what Alvin thought, the shooting process went very smoothly.
Mina, who usually always mocked, this time praised what Alvin had done in the photo shoot.
["It turns out that the feeling of love can make a hard stone look beautiful."]
'What do you mean?'
["That's a compliment."]
Until the shooting is over, then Alvin back with a stiff face.
It happened when the photographer and his crew asked to take a picture with him.
When not taking pictures with Cyntia, his strange smile returned.
["Stone is still stone. Very hard."]
'...If a person like me becomes a stone, I must be a gemstone, right?'
'Did you really miss punishing me if you failed to do the quest, Rimi?'
<...>
From then on, Alvin swore that he would never be photographed again other than with Cyntia.
.........
"Why are you moody? You look happy at the photo shoot."
"It's okay."
"You don't like taking pictures with other people?"
Alvin smiled wryly.
While dividing his concentration with the car he was driving, Cyntia noticed the side profile of Alvin's face and she smiled.
Although Alvin does not look happy when serving other people's photo requests, he knows that Alvin looks happy when taking pictures with him, and that makes him very happy.
