The Princess And The Lord



The beast's orange eyes kept watching Lory's movements while growling in a deep voice, the Zhyger could sense the enemy in front of him was more dangerous than any other and the beast's instincts made the creature block its attack.

For Lory, it wasn't difficult to defeat this creature, but the problem was how to restrain her power so that Garrof and the others would not be suspicious.

Lory glanced at Garrof who managed to carry the injured Dan away from the battle area then the others gathered to see how Dan was doing while Lydia tried her best to tend to his wound.

The only way Lory could think of to deal with this beast is to lure the beast as far as possible from Garrof and the others.

"Miss Jane, I will help you!" Lyod took his sword he couldn't let Lory fight alone.

Lory looked at him with a big grin, "It's okay, I'll be back after sunrise!"

"Hah?"

Lory swiftly threw the knife which then hit one of Zhygre's eyes then lunged at high speed like a bullet toward the giant beast.

The Beast roared in pain at the same time Lory nimbly stepped on Zhyger's head she deliberately annoyed the Beast.

"Come here kitty!"

Lory managed to provoke the animal's anger, Zhyger roared angrily and then chased Lory who ran into the forest.

Successfully luring Zhyger Lory, the corner of her lips curl into a sneaky smile "Good kitty!"

Lyod who watched Lory go being chased by Zhyger could only see with a deathly pale face.

"Is that woman crazy, why is she running in that direction!" Owen doesn't understand what Lory is doing.

Lyod angrily then slapped the back of Owen's head "Stupid! She lured the Zhyger away to help us!"

Owen widened his eyes in disbelief "No...no way"

"We have to help him!" Lyod was too lazy to explain because the most important thing right now was helping Lory because the last thing Lyod wanted was for a woman to fight for him, let's just say he was an old fashion man.

"Wait!" Garrof put his hand on Lyod's shoulder.

"Garrof, we must help her!" Lyod insisted.

"I know how you feel brother..." Garrof understood how Lyod felt, even though they weren't soldiers anymore but protecting women and children was ingrained in their beliefs so it's hard for them to let women fight for them no matter how strong she might be.

"You saw yourself how strong she is... I have never seen anyone possess so much power at such young age so if we insist on chassed her with our condition right now, we will only drag her down..."

"But Garrof!" Lyod still felt reluctant.

"You hurt Lyod!" Garrof's eyes moved to Lyod's waist and red liquid seeped from his clothes.

Owen just realized that Lyod was injured he was shocked "Lyod you are injured!"

"It's just a scratch!" Lyod brushed it off.

Garrof took a deep breath, he knew it wasn't easy to persuade his friend but they were both injured while Owen… well, he was too reckless and too short-tempered to do anything.

"Garrof what power is that, I've never seen anything like it, is she really a Level E hunter" Owen trembled as he recalled the monstrous power came from her.

Garrof shook his head: "Impossible, that is not the strength of a Level E hunter, at least he is above A level!"

Owen's eyes widened in shock, you mean level S! So she had been lying to us all this time!" Owen clenched his fists feeling ashamed and angry for treating him like an idiot.

Lyod rubbed his jaw, he didn't know why this boy was so angry, "Not technically, she just said she just signed up today so she was given level E according to the rules but she never say that the level given was according to her actual strength, we're the one who making assumptions based on the level she had given"

Garrof scratched his head in annoyance, "I forgot that many guilds don't have mana meters because it's become too expensive!"

After the mana meter price war had doubled before, in fact, everything had become more expensive due to the lack of resources resulting in many small guilds not being able to afford this tool resulting in many errors in evaluating the power of new hunters, although it had never been this bad.

As they were discussing, they heard footsteps approaching them as soon as they turn around everyone simultaneously hold their breath.

A man walked towards them, his pair of eyes as dark as the bottomless abyss it was cold and deep, his long black hair scattered behind his back as the wind suddenly blow.

His whole appearance looked like he emerge from a classic painting from an ancient scripture that showed in the museum, he looks so domineering, noble yet cold and distant.

The man's gaze swept the place around them then his thin lips pressed together into a thin line and his handsome face gradually contorted.

Owen subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he had never seen a man as beautiful as him before, not that he was attracted to him because after all he is a 'straight' man but he didn't expect the face of the man hiding under his hoodie can be extremely...mesmerizing.

Garrof and Lyod were speechless even Lydia also enthralled by Zhao Li Xin's appearance, and at this moment they were all thinking the same thing.

'Why the hell did this man become a Hunter? WHAT A WASTE!'

However Zhao Li Xin spare no glance at any of them, he walked past them as if he didn't see them.

His eyes shifted to the mark on the ground then his gaze shifted to where Lory had gone with the beast.

Without needing more explanation he knew what Lory's attention was.

Zhao Li Xin take a deep breath feeling remorseful for letting her fight alone not because she might be lost but because she make unnecessary trouble for herself.

Garrof gasped from his shock, he wanted to tell Zhao Li Xin what happened but he could barely speak Astern.

[Uhm... master... I...]

'Whooooosh!"

Zhao Li Xin shot at the forest leaving the dust smoke behind him, Owen coughed - coughing while wagging his hand due to dust flying on his face while Lyod and Garroff were Dumbfounded.

"So... what level do you think he is?" Owen's mouth twitched in annoyance he felt the slap on his cheek worse than when Zhyger had hit him.

Garrof has no words to say other than to realize the two Hunter couples he met were not ordinary people.
