Chapter 67.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunterâs Hero Dream Chapter 67.1 \nEight Hunters are gathered in a luxury inn for Treasure Hunters in the center of the Imperial Capital.\n
Unlike those used by aristocrats and merchants, inns targeting Hunters value quality rather than luxury. A cold room that allows the storage of monster materials, meetings room, rooms to wash and maintain armor full of blood, there are a lot of useful things gathered to help with the aftercare of a Shrine exploration. Each piece of furniture is sturdy so that even powerful Hunter doesnât break it, the size of the room is also very large for any party size.
Compare to their inn in their homeland in Nebranubes, those facilities are very useful. But Arnoldâs complexion doesnât look good when sitting on his chair.
The cause is the words he received from the Branch Chief Gark.
He looks around the party members and confirm with a somewhat low threatening voice.
âHave you gathered rumors about him?â
âY, yes. Apparently, he is a famous Hunter hereâŠâ
While sweating, the partyâs vice-leader Hay begins his explanation.
âInfinite Varietyâ.
That is his Alias. The owner of the âSevered Shadowâ, as Branch Chief Gark informed him. He doesnât know if he was serious when he asked us to subdue a Thunder Dragon ăBecause he wants to eat ită.
Initially, he was an existence that is already considered as his enemies as he was the Party Leader of that woman who unilaterally punched Arnold. But the risk is too high to barge in and start fighting.\n
The subjugation of the âThunder Dragon (Rai RyĆ«)â is the highest achievement Arnold and his friends made.
The dragon who had been rampaging in the Mist Country has certainly the power to destroy a country. Before Arnold and his friends challenged it, a lot of High-Level Hunters failed to repel it, it is indubitably an absolute strongest. Arnold was given his Alias and awarded his Level 7 because this achievement was worthy of it.
Thunder Dragon (Rai Ryƫ).
A huge body and strong scales. Possessing full mastery of aerial movement as he can fly in the sky. A lightning breath that is difficult to avoid and armed with claw as long as a large blade and its sharpness far exceeding the average sword. A dragon that has been certified as one of the top dragon species.
The one who directly defeated the dragon is Arnold and his friends, the âFallen Mist (Thunder Dragonâs Mist)â. But countless Hunters have helped on that subjugation. After setting up the stage, checking everything, preparing all the necessary equipment and measures against it, we set up a trap. It is a battle we canât afford to lose as it can result in the destruction of the country. Not only it was a deathmatch, it has also lasted for hours. The Level of recommendation to subjugate it is 7 but according to Arnold who had actually faced it, the recommendation Level is too low.
Luckily, the subjugation was successful but if they made one mistake, Arnold and his friends would have died. If he could fight against it no matter how many times and even use his powerful weapon created from its material, the fight wouldnât be any easier.
No matter what kind of predicament you get in a Shrine, if I compare it to the Thunder Dragon, it would still be better and I can overcome it.
Its corpse was dismantled, and the Mist Country rejoiced. Even if it was distributed to all the Hunters who cooperated, we received a reasonable amount of money. Regardless of whether the subjugation difficulty is suitable, everything on the dragon is a treasure. His bones and scales, even its inside is considered as a precious jewel as its blood and meats are also in high demand as potion materials. To use some part of it as an ingredient for food when you risk your life fighting it, is indubitably the idea of a madman. If I hear that somewhere there is a Hunter who does that, I will only consider it as a joke.
But if that person is a High-Level Hunter, it is another story.
âWhen it comes to Hunters in Zebrudia, Rodin is famously known but⊠Damn, Level 8, you sayâŠâ\nUpon hearing the information, Arnold spitefully say that.
Level 8. A man with a certification Level higher than Arnold who killed a Thunder Dragon. The members of âFallen Mist (Thunder Dragonâs Mist)â who fight life threatening battle against Phantom and doesnât back down have a grave expression.
As the Mana Material drastically improve Treasure Hunter ability, there can be large differences in abilities. Exactly like there is a difference of heaven and earth between an average Hunter and Arnold. He shows that the same can be said between Higher-Level Hunters and Arnold.
Near Nebranubes, there were only five Shrines. Even so, the five Shrines have different certification Level, he was blessed when you compare it to the surrounding countries but compared to the Imperial Capital where there are innumerable Shrines of any level, there is a great difference.
In this country, there are several High-Level Shrines that can further enhance Arnold and his friends who have hit their limits in Nebranubes Shrines.
The strongest in the Mist Country is called the âHeavy Lightning Strikeâ, I assume that name doesnât work in this Imperial Capital. No even if they accept it⊠It is not considered as that high of a rank.
I had expected it to some extent but because of their power, âFallen Mist (Thunder Dragonâs Mist)â were feared and awe-inspiring and that fact hit them harder than they expected.
The certification Level doesnât always represent their strength but if that âInfinite Varietyâ can hunt a Thunder Dragon as a snack then he is at least⊠above Arnold and his friends.
âIn this country, is there a lot of guys that can prey on a ăThunder Dragon (Rai RyĆ«) ă like that? But at that tavern, there shouldnât have been a Hunter like that.â
âBu⊠But Arnold-san. The âInfinite Varietyâ I saw could only be seen⊠as a small fishâŠâ\n\nâTsk⊠We will check the situation. First, do what we need to do. Prepare ourselves. We donât have enough information.â
Arnold and his friends arenât knights who fight while following rules. They are Hunters. When dealing with a strong one, you need to make preparation proportional to its strength. It is even more true when you fight a battle, you know you will lose.
The shoulder of one of the member start trembling because of the passion contain inside his voice.
âWell⊠What about his request to deliver a Thunder Dragon?â
âI donât intent to take on his provocation. I havenât received an official request.â
First, we need to determine the situation. We need to look for weaknesses. A huge Clan and a Party consisting of member with only Aliases. The opponent is too huge and powerful, but this is why we will definitely have a chance.
His golden eyes start to shine brightly toward this mighty goal since the Thunder Dragon.
