Chapter 4:

Arrival Of Beasts - Zallo Village Arc

The Hunters Duality


The sun was setting as they finished their preparations for the fight against the pack of beasts. After the preparations were complete, they all went to the village diner to wait for the beasts to arrive.

“How long do you think till the beasts come” whined Witz as she laid spread out on one of the tables with Honō.

“I’d say soon their nocturnal beasts with in around 30 in the pack and since their only C-rank they won’t have much source of food in the woods so they for sure will come again or they’d risk starvation” stated Honō sipping another coffee as he sat at the table Witz was spread across.

“Uhhhhh would they ever hurry up this gear gets uncomfortable after a while” whinged Witz.

“Be patient and get of the table people are starting to stare at us” said Honō as he finished the last sip of his coffee.

“Oh, let them stare I couldn’t care less about what they think” snarled Witz as she sat up raising a dirty look to her onlookers as Honō ordered another coffee for himself.

“How much coffee have you had Honō we’re nearly out of coffee beans, so take it easy ok” teased Elena as she walked over to the duo at the table.

“Lost count after my tenth one also have you seen my partner for these missions” Honō said while chugging his new coffee and ordering another coffee, telling them to make it stronger.

“HEY, WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT” shouted Witz annoyed that Honō would say such a mean thing to her.

Honō started to laugh with a calming smile. After a few seconds of laughing he stopped laughing and his face went stone cold as he began to say “The beasts have arrived” as he said this both him and Witz left at full speed to where Honō felt the breach in the perimeter he had set up early.

They had arrived at the towns edge to see around 30 C-rank wolf aether beasts about the size of a human walking past the perimeter.

“The report was right so how about fifteen each, sounds fair right?” Asked Honō as he formed a sword in his hand made of condensed ice coated in electricity.

“Sure, now let’s start” replied Witz as all the tubes on her gear that she had been wearing started emanating a purple light.

As they finished talking Honō and Witz both started charging towards the aether wolves. As Witz was running towards the beasts, one of them lunged at her attempting to bite her but she slid under the wolf and launched herself into the air as she got out from under it and dropkicked the one that had been behind the one, she slid under knocking it unconscious.

Honō after watching his teammate defeat one in record speed decided to slash the air in the direction of three of his prey, sending out a wave of electricity from the sword. As the wave of electricity hit the three of the beasts they began to burst into ice freezing them instantly,

And beginning Honō’s hunt.
