Chapter 54: National Rank Hunter?

After 10 minutes Kanae stepped away.

"So you've calmed down now?" I asked her as I turned around and looked at her.

"Yes." She said with her back facing me. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Weren't you so brave just now? What happened to your bravado?" I asked her.

"YOU BASTARD. SHUT UPPPPPPP!!!!!" she turned around and shouted with a red face as she threw a punch on my face well I dodged it.

"Ok, Ok no need to be this angry your face is all red," I said and she stopped and turned around again as she covered her face.

'Seriously, tomboyish girls are the cutest.' I nodded as I have learned some truth about the universe.

Then we checked the whole place for traps and hidden rooms but we didn't find anything but Kanae hasn't been talking to me. But this place has been awfully quiet. I thought as I exited the gate there were a lot of mana stones here so the mining team doesn't have to worry as the stones are near the entrance.

"Ok then let's go back and tell the mining team to work," I said to Kanae who ignored me again and walked towards the gate.

I just shook my head as I followed her out.

We reached the place where the mining team was and told them to go inside without worrying. The hunters outside have finished cleaning up the corpses of the giants and they were currently resting for the boss battle.

"Yo, can you spare some time?" I heard a loud voice from my left and saw a huge man with blonde hair wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts. And a handsome man with long black hair tied in a ponytail.

"Sure," I said while looking at them and then we went towards the room they were previously in. I sat down and took the glass of wine that was given to me by the beautiful blonde-haired woman who was standing inside. I placed it on the table and looked at them.

"Nice to meet you, Hunter Tsugikuni my name is Liu Zhigang. You can call me Zhigang." The man with long black hair said.

I nodded at him and looked at the Blonde haired man who said.

"My name is Thomas Andre I am the guild master of Scavenger guild. Just call me Thomas." He said as he grinned.

"My name is Laura and I am the guild secretary of Scavenger guild. A pleasure to meet you." The beautiful blonde-haired woman who is wearing a business suit said as she bowed.

"Nice to meet you both, My name is Tsugikuni Haru. You can me Haru." I said with a smile.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked them.

"It was about the monster you just defeated do you know the level of that monster?" Thomas asked as his face became serious.

"No, I don't," I said while shaking my head as I took a sip of the wine.

'It is good.' I nodded my head as it has been a while since I drank.

"That magical beast was on the level of Kamish. The monster that came out of the first S-rank gate and slaughtered many S-rank hunters." Zhigang said with a serious expression. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

"Then the last seven S-rank hunters fought it together and defeated it and those hunters were later given the title of National rank hunters," Thomas said with a wide grin.

"I know that. I am sitting in front of two national-rank hunters. So why are you telling me this?" I asked.

"Because the world is going to welcome the 8th National Rank hunter," Thomas said with a smile and Zhigang nodded.

"You have defeated a monster that was on the level of Kamish alone. That shows your power and I am very certain that we don't stand a chance against you after you've done that." Zhigang pointed at the sky with Thomas and Laura outside the window as well.

They saw the dark red sky has been parted into two.

"Damn, I didn't see it before," Thomas shouted with excitement and Laura had her mouth hanging open.

"Well, what is bugging me about this dungeon is that there is still the boss monster left. What type of beast is it going to be? It is more powerful than the one you defeated." Zhigang said seriously.

'Do you want strength?' I heard a voice and stood up fast and looked behind.

I saw a handsome boy with shoulder-length black hair with grey eyes that looked empty as he came near me and said in a low voice.

'Answer me, Do you want strength?' He said as he put his hand on my shoulder.

"I do," I said as I looked down and sat down.

'Do you want the power to destroy all those you hate and rule over everyone?' He whispered near my ears.

My anger boiled when I remembered how weak I am in front of that guy.

'Do you want to kill your enemy and trample on them?' he said.

"I do."

'Then go there you will find what you are looking for.' He said as he pointed at the gate.

I stood up and asked.

"What is your name?"

He turned towards me and said.

'My name is.......'

.......

I was now standing in front of the boss room of the gate. And I got scared from the pressure that was coming from behind the gate. But I opened it and saw a giant with bushy bread chained down on the ground.

(What are you doing here human?) The giant said as he looked up and my legs gave out when he looked at me.

'Do I have to free him?' I thought.

'What are you sitting there for didn't you want power. To kill your enemy, to rule the world, to fulfill your ambition now it is in front of you go and take it.' I heard his voice again and I stood up.

I went near the giant and removed the chains from him then I saw him grin as he picked me up before I can even react and put dropped me in his mouth.

"DAMN YOU EREN YEAGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR."

(I'll pay you later.) The giant said to the handsome boy who helped him get free of the seal.

"I am just doing what I want. Are you going to leave?" the boy asked.

(Yes I have to regroup with my army.) The giant said.

"Why not destroy the country outside?" the boy said.

(No I have to get to my army.) The giant shook his head after reluctance.

"Don't you want to show powers to those bastards who sealed you here?Dont you want to have your revenge for being locked her for so long?" the boy said as he smiled.

The anger in the eyes of the giant boiled as he remembered how he was sealed here.

(I'll destroy everything then go back. I am the Monarch of the Beginning Legia. I'll show them what it means to mess with me.) The giant shouted.

The boy vanished from the place as if he was never there.

The giant grinned and went towards the gate.

(Let me destroy this place to show those dumb rulers my power.) The giant said as he walked out.
