Booooom-!
ROAR-!
A booming sound echoed out followed by a painful roar.
The temperature of the surrounding increased greatly, as the bright orange fire burned the body of a three meters tall bear.
Its fur was charred black, and it was roaring in pain.
The eyes of the bear were red because of the anger and it was looking in front of it with hate-filled eyes.
A young man who was wearing black armor was standing not so far away from it.
The expressions of the man were indifferent even though the bear was looking at him with anger.
The man waved his hand and three, football-sized fireballs formed around him. He waved his hand and all three fireballs shot toward the bear.
Booom-!
Because of injuries the bear wasn't able to move and its body was blasted away by the fireballs.
The giant body of the bear landed five meters away, creating a small crater.
The red eyes of the bear were very dim after being blasted away by the fireballs, and slowly its vitality started to disappear.
Because of the serious injuries in just ten seconds, the life force of the bear completely disappeared.
Leon approached the bear with light footsteps and looked at its charred body.
After seeing it was dead he looked for the core, and finally, a smile appeared on his face when he found a core.
"This silver bear was tougher than I thought, It took almost half of my mana just to kill it," Leon said and put away the C+ rank core that he got.
"At the speed I am gathering cores, it will take me at least six months to gather enough cores to breakthrough to B rank" Leon muttered while walking away from the dead bear.
"Even though I was not able to complete their task, I hope they will at least give me some benefits since this time they caught a big fish like Valery," Leon said in a voice filled with expectations.
He knew the dark guild is trying to capture Valery for quite some time, but wasn't able to capture her.
This time he knew a B rank hunter is coming to capture Valery because he was the one who informed them.
He told them when Valery left the academy with Evan and even provided some information about him.
There was not much he told them about Evan, and just said he is a normal hunter without any background, and his power is should be around C rank.
Although he wasn't expecting anything huge he was still hoping to get something that will help him improve himself.
He joined dark guild recently but still wasn't able to complete any of their mission.
His first mission was actually to bring Valery outside of the city.
At that time he told Valery that he found a monster den that is full of many C rank monsters and asked her if she wants to go with him to hunt them.
Unfortunately for him, because Valery was already cautious about dark guild she refused his offer of going out from the city.
After that, they asked him to go to the frost world dungeon and use poison on her that will make her unconscious.
After making her unconscious his task was to bring her outside the city.
Unfortunately at the last moment, Valery once again refused him and instead brought Evan with her.
"My luck is really terrible" Leon can't help but say in a depressed tone.
Just when he was thinking this he suddenly felt something and took out his communication crystal.
Seeing who was contacting him he raised an eyebrow and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Did they successfully capture her, and now contacting me to tell me about my reward'' Leon said In an excited tone and accepted the call.
"Hello," Leon said in an excited voice, "did we succeed this time?"
"Carlos is dead" a cold male voice sounded from the other end and the excited smile on Leon's face stiffened.
'Dead?' question marks appeared all around Leon and he wasn't able to process that sentence.
But when he processed that sentence, his earlier smile completely disappeared, and a gloomy look appeared on his face
'He wasn't able to capture her, which means there is no reward' Leon thought and become depressed. He was just thinking about getting something good this time, but even a B rank hunter wasn't able to capture her.
"How did he die?" Leon asked because he can't understand how a B rank hunter failed to capture Valery.
"Currently we don't know how he died. You return to the academy since Valery will return there soon. Keep an eye on her and try to find what happened there" the male said to Leon who rubbed his temples.
He wanted to collect some cores to improve his rank which is why he come to the wilderness, but now he will have to return to the academy once again because of the order.
"I will try my best" that is all Leon said because he knew he can't directly ask Valery what happened there.
"Other than Valery, the guy who went into the dungeon with her is also able to survive. You can also try to find something from him"
'Carlos didn't even kill Evan' Leon was even more surprised knowing that Carlos wasn't even able to kill Evan.
"Also, gather all the information available about that Evan and sent it back. Carlos died two days ago. Which means they cleared the dungeon very quickly and come out from it. From the looks of it although that guy is just a D rank hunter there is a high chance he is hiding something" the male said to Leon.
Leon raised an eyebrow hearing they cleared the dungeon quite early, he also knew the frost world dungeon is quite hard to clear.
"I understand, I will gather all information about him and will send it back," Leon said after a moment of silence
Hearing Leon the other side cut the communication. Leon also put away his communication crystal and instead of going deeper into the wilderness he turned around to go back.
