Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Chapter 22.1 - The Chrono Grove

THUD

As the body of Fred fell to the ground, I was left alone inside the forest with my gun in my hand.

"….."

TAP TAP TAP

The sound of rain falling to the ground could be heard, and before me was the body of the dead half-demon.

The metallic feeling of my gun was in my hand.

I just stood there and looked at what I had done without making any sound.

My clothes were slightly getting wet, but at that moment, I didn't care.

'So, this is how it feels, huh? Hunting someone down….'

A weird feeling enveloped me as I had finally achieved something after coming here.

The anger in my heart still existed, as the figure before me made me remember the scene where her chest was pierced by the claws of that demon.

"Because of you….."

And this made the emotions inside me boil more. While I was dealing with Fred, I forced myself to calm down, to think with my logic, and to ignore my emotions.

But there was no need to do that anymore.

"Because of dogs like you….."

My voice grew colder as I raised my dagger, fixing my gaze upon the wretched creature before me.

STAB STAB.

With each thrust of the blade, I channeled all the rage and sorrow that had festered within me. The world seemed to blur as I repeatedly drove the dagger into his lifeless form.

"BECAUSE OF FUCKING YOU!"

STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB.

This savage act marked the end of my catharsis, leaving me with a haunting sense of emptiness. The anger the grief, all had dissipated, leaving behind a desolate vacuum.

I continued to stab the bastard, letting out everything; however, slowly, the feeling turned into nothingness.

And then, as abruptly as it had begun, I halted.

PAT PAT PAT PAT

The rain soaked through my clothes, chilling me to the bone.

"Haah….Haaah….."

My own ragged breathing filled the silence, no longer drowned out by the rhythmic stabs.

I lowered the dagger, its blade slick with rain and blood, and took a faltering step back.

My gaze once filled with fury, now carried a haunting vacancy as I stared down at the mangled body of those belonging to my nemesis.

The forest, the rain, and the body before me bore witness to the complicated emotions that had now given way to a profound sense of emptiness.

'This is not enough.'

In the midst of this surreal scene, I finally began to process the void that had replaced my earlier turmoil, a void that demanded acknowledgment and introspection.

'This is not the end.'

The rain continued to fall, unrelenting and indifferent, as I stood there, a complex mix of emotions replaced by an unsettling void, searching for meaning amidst the aftermath of my vengeance.

'I still have yet to finish…..No….I have yet to start properly….'

Looking at the body, I slowly lowered my hand and started searching for it, my hands roaming around.

The first thing I noticed was his bracelet; it was a bracelet that had a bigger space than normal bracelets.

Aside from that, he also had a small watch.

A watch that was slightly different than others.

'This is a tempered smartwatch, one that could be accessed by only those who contracted with demons.'

It was an item that was untraceable and was used by demons to contact their followers.

'However, I guess he is still at the starting phase.'

Opening up the watch, I started looking for its contents.

--------------------------

[Messages(6)] [Calls(1)] [Mails(23)]

---------------------------

At first, the opening style was the same, but on the side of the watch, a small needle was there.

'I guess he was too confident that he wouldn't be caught.'

As I slowly pushed the needle, this time, the interface had changed. The color got more and more darker as a bunch of tabs popped off.

It was the tab of villain society, mainly called the InfernalCovenant.

[Missions]

[Currency]

------------------------

The first three tabs were inaccessible. However, I knew what they were for.

'Announcements, Bounties and Contacts:'

However, they would only appear after one passed a certain threshold of trust and got recruited under a senior villain and when they get enough currency.

Just like any other society, Villains also had a hierarchy, even though their goals were different.

After looking at the watch for a little longer, I saw the amount of money he had in his account.

'50k, huh? Certainly covers my losses.'

This was his money in his normal bank account as the hunter Fred Nilsen. However, he also had another currency as points.

'DeValer.'

Of course, when talking about a villain society, the first thing that would come into one's mind would be the idea of anti-government, which could be seen here. From the name alone, it is obvious.

Of course, the one that founded the society is a hateful villain itself, but whatever.

There was a lot to explore, but right now, I didn't have much time.

'I need to find the hidden stage before they clear the boss.'

Since Fred was dead, and I didn't have much else to do, the only thing that was left for me to do was simply leave this place and reach the place where the hidden stage was located.
