Chapter 5: Invitation (2)

Chapter 5: Invitation (2)

"Actually… maybe we can come to a consensus, mate."

The wolf growled.

As both of them couldn't snatch victory from each other, their battle slowed down.

The monster was more careful with its movements, not allowing for more gaps.

Hunter was on the winning side of this break as his wounds regenerated faster the less stamina he burned. Of course, by now, he felt like he had an unlimited amount of stamina, which was great, but there was nothing better than having all of his vitality doubling up his reinvigoration.

Perhaps, if he were to regenerate to full in a short amount of time, he would be able to overwhelm the monster…

Now, that was the thought that energized Hunter! After all this effort and pain, a draw was no longer an option! He wanted to win against this wolf and use its body to his growth, just like hunters did!

However, before these two were about to perform the dance of valor and blood, the forest swayed and brushes rustled, soon spitting out an army of humans.

A lot of faces were familiar to Hunter, but he wasn't relieved to see them for the first time in his new life.

"Kill those monsters!"

"Burn them!"

"Demons must be killed!"

Just like Hunter had been expecting, the villagers and their army of hunters had come here to… kill the wolf and him.

He didn't like how they lumped him with the red wolf… but Hunter wasn't naive enough to complain or even refute them. Perhaps, it was his mistake to hide his strength, but his fears of getting labeled a demon were valid from the start.

In fact, the circle of appalled humans was some sort of validation to Hunter that his choice was right.

Soon, the wooden and steel arrows carried by respective innate skills flew toward Hunter and the wolf. There were so many of them that Hunter believed that even those that weren't archers had been compelled to draw a bow to shot at him and the monster.

Humans from the village were of that low level.

Lifting his arms to protect his eyes, Hunter stood still while enduring arrows digging into his flesh from head to toe. He was like a stone statue, searching for only one person.

A few breaths later, he found her standing at the back of the army with her bowstring pulled back… her arrows mercilessly going at him.

'Sucks… I didn't like to call you a big sister, but I liked you nonetheless. Well, I didn't like this big sister thing because I wanted you… a pity indeed,' Hunter inwardly sighed before shifting his eyes to the wolf.

He chuckled, "Those arrows prickle, right?"

The wolf growled with a mix of bitterness and amusement. A part of its heart wanted to rip Hunter to shreds, but more of it couldn't bring itself to attack him.

Was it because they were on the same boat now? Or their long and exhausting battle had sprouted respect in them, not allowing anyone to interfere in their battle?

Nonetheless, the intruders were here to bother them… so it'd be best to get rid of them first!

As the red wolf's only eye pierced through Hunter, he clicked his tongue and nodded, "I guess that's the only way."

His human heart… blackened now that he turned his killing intent onto those villagers… his seemingly blue eyes turned red for a second as he made that decision, then he was ready to consort with the red wolf.

But at that moment, the entire forest became flooded by an intense wind that blew away all arrows.

"Enough of this show," A female voice commanded all, erasing all the tension in an instant.

-

Turning his head back, Hunter was bewildered to see the prettiest woman he had ever seen in his two life landing a few meters from him. She had long black hair draping her back and ass, with her voluptuous curves wrapped in black armor, which was quite fashionable as it revealed her cleavage, giving her busty chest more than enough room to feel the wind.

The entire forest bowed as she strutted across it to get close to Hunter. Followed by two other women who were nearly as beautiful as her, the black-haired woman and her authority were… too domineering and cool.

Her black eyes were locked on Hunter, making him feel… odd.

'I want her… I want that strength, confidence, and beauty to be mine.'

He never felt this way. No woman had ever made him voice out his desire in such a blatant and straightforward way.

In fact, it was a miracle that he hadn't said that aloud.

And Hunter knew that his virginity couldn't be blamed!

The woman was now a few inches before him, her chest threatening to poke him, "How do you feel?"

"Unsatisfied, mentally tired, disappointed… and of course charmed by you. Can't help but stare at your eyes and breasts," Hunter was so beaten that he would gladly share his thoughts and take a blow or two from her.

And, like… it was her fault for wearing this kind of armor!

The woman thought the same, "I blame my fashion sense for troubling you, then."

"Oh… that's nice of you…" Hunter muttered without much thought, allowing himself to take more glances at that compelling picture from such a close range!

She was really a cool woman with a pair of awesome tits!

From behind, one of two women drew the black-haired woman's attention, "Boss… we don't have much time left. The yearly exam to our Hunter First Union begins in three days. You're obliged to appear as one of the guild leaders, even if you don't plan to take in new members."

The boss sighed and nodded before retracing her eyes to the silver-haired man, which was no one other than Hunter, "Isn't it comical how humans expect their saviors to be knights on white horses?"

"…" Hunter didn't know what she even meant by that and stared at her blankly.

"Unaware of the fact that people they respect shed off their humanity to fight monsters and demons… isn't this why you are disappointed?" The boss asked flatly, with no hint of emotion appearing on her face.

"Yes…" Hunter genuinely nodded.

His reply curved the lips of the boss upward.

She said, "What it means to be a hunter? Every guild in our union has its own idea of being a hunter… but my philosophy is simple — be yourself. Those who are able to stay true to themselves after going through countless hunts and meetings with deaths are people I'll invite to my guild. Interested?"

"I am!" Hunter shouted back like a soldier. "I won't give up an opportunity to pursue you, boss! I'm an opportunist, you see, so doing nothing is against me! I'll hunt your heart! I'll hunt all that is entertaining in this world, boss!"

"Don't call me boss yet. You don't have that right."

"Ah, I apologize."

"Win that right by completing the yearly exam of The Hunter First Union."

"Got it!"

"Let's solve the issues with the red wolf and commoners now."

The boss turned her eyes to the monster… and the forest once again bowed in her presence as the sharp wind flooded the scene from every direction.

Hunter's eyes gleamed as he looked at her back. 'I'll explore the depths of my skill… and I'll reach the same level to have you, boss!'

His infatuation with the boss severely increased.
