Chapter 100 - Nothing To Fear
Chapter 100 - Nothing To Fear
Inside the Hunter Association's training facility, Cao Wudi could be seen doing a light exercise with 200-kilo black dumbbells in each hand.
"You have recovered enough to be training here, Mr. Wudi?" Branch Leader Johnson asked upon his arrival.
Cao Wudi dropped the dumbbells before he responded, "More than enough, Branch Leader Johnson. In fact, I never felt better. It's all thanks to your Green Elixir Tank."
"I see, I see. Fully recovered is good." Branch Leader Johnson nodded before turning to Secretary Jane, "Bring him to the armory and get him geared up, Jane."
"Understood, Branch Leader Johnson." Secretary Jane shortly turned to Cao Wudi and said, "Please follow me, Mr. Wudi."
"Huh?" Cao Wudi expressed his confusion before asking with doubt, "May I know what is going on? What do you want me to do?"
"Mr. Wudi, as you have been specially recruited by me, your name has already been recorded down as an Official Hunter. And as an Official Hunter of the Hunter Association, it is your duty to hunt interdimensional creatures." Branch Leader Johnson said.
"Of course, this isn't proper. You still have to take the physical and written exams for formality's sake, but that can be worried about later."
"Right now, interdimensional creatures are flying all over the skies outside. You need to gear up and go hunt them down. Take this chance to raise your Hunter Level quickly, Mr. Wudi." Branch Leader Johnson spoke with an encouraging look.
Cao Wudi glanced outside the reinforced glass windows with doubt.
Although he could not hear due to the fortified building's strong sound insulation, he could still see the scene outside.
"What's the danger level? How strong are these interdimensional creatures?" Cao Wudi inquired with a cautious look.
Suddenly, he saw a giant dragon ripping the creatures in its surroundings apart before he lost his courage to go outside.
"Actually... I am a p*ssy. I have experienced enough few near-death instances in a lifetime..."
"Nah, you'll be alright, mate. Have some faith. Even p*ssies have 9 lives, while the Great Hero Heracles had 12. Take him to the armory, Jane." Branch Leader Johnson did not allow Cao Wudi to refuse.
After Secretary Jane heed Branch Leader Johnson's orders, Cao Wudi's lips twitched repeatedly.
...
"Boss, the whole city is in chaos right now. What do you want the gangs to do?" Ah Zhen asked over the phone.
"Does that even need to be said? We gained a lot of weapons recently. If we do not use it now, then when? Go take them out and hunt." Albion said before he added, "If you want to be useful to me, you need to be stronger than normal mobs at least."
"Understood, boss. I'll notify the others."
"Un."
Shortly after, Albion hanged up the call before walking into the Royal Pearl Club.
"How long do we have to wait before reinforcement arrives in Silvercove, Klein?" Martha inquired.
"Strange... Where did William go?" Klein Seymour failed to locate William Seymour before he shook his head and said, "It will take three hours for the nearest city to send their Hunters over..."
Shortly after, Klein Seymour spotted the young master walking past before asking him, "Young Master Albion, where are you headed?"
"Hm? I going to the rooftop to take a better look." Albion responded casually without pausing.
Xiao Hua's eyes brightened at once before she hopped up and said, "Big Brother Albion, I am coming too!"
"Xiao Hua! It's dangerous outside!" Xiao Qing admonished.
However, Xiao Hua poked her tongue and said, "Don't worry, sister. Big Brother Albion is very strong!"
At the same time, Klein Seymour informed Albion, "If you are heading for the Royal Pearl Hotel's rooftop next door, you are going the wrong way, Young Master Albion. The two buildings are not connected, so there's no path that way—"
Boom!
The walls suddenly exploded into pieces from Albion's kick, forming a big hole before he glanced back and casually said, "Look, I found a path."
"..." Klein Seymour's lips twitched.
Everyone present was speechless as they silently thought, 'Did you find a path, or did you MAKE a path?'
...
Inside Royal Pearl Hotel, many people took shelter in their own private rooms while a crowd of young people rushed through the hallway, taking the lifts and staircases to the top.
None of them were unarmed as kitchen knives, wooden bats, steel poles, and broken table legs, among other forms of weapons, could be seen inside their hands.
Albion and Xiao Hua followed behind the crowd before reaching the building's rooftop sometime later.
Xiao Hua clung to Albion's arm enthusiastically as she pictured a group of youth smashing interdimensional creatures into pieces like breaking large LEGO structures.
But contrary to her imagination, what she saw was a scene of carnage. Her expression paled quickly before sticking closer to Albion.
Bodies littered the rooftop while blood running like rivers.
Only a few people have survived the onslaught of interdimensional creatures and become Hunters. Among them, one even awakened a special ability upon reaching Level 4 Hunter.
"Interesting..."
Albion glanced at the 16-year-old boy lacerating interdimensional creatures with a Wind-attribute Special Ability.
Roar!
The sky suddenly rumbled from a mighty roar before the giant dragon was caught in the powerful talons of a terribly giant interdimensional creature coming into being.
"Oh my god! What is that thing?! That's gotta be at least three times bigger than the dragon!"
"Nooo, not the dragon! Someone save the dragon! The dragon is our friend—our brother-in-arm!
"Bah! You say that now. But if you stand in front of the dragon, it'll probably gobble you up whole!"
The surviving youths could not keep their calm.
The city was filled with shock as numerous phones and cameras zoomed in on the gigantic interdimensional creature exiting the Dimensional Rift.
At the same time, Albion glanced up before his jaws dropped at its form that resembles Godzilla from his previous world. Except, it had a pair of wings that span thousands of feet wide.
"Jesus Christ! Which motherf*cker fed this thing with Redbull?" Albion could not help bus cuss at its sheer size.
"What's Redbull?" Xiao Hua asked curiously with a trembling voice.
"Redbull is..." Albion paused for a moment before explained with a straight face, "Redbull is a magical potion that gives you wings."
Xiao Hua's eyes immediately clouded with a dubious look.
"Really?"
"Un. Really."
Albion nodded confidently.
Seeing a lack of fear from Albion in the wake of such an enormous monster, Xiao Hua suddenly thought out loud, "Are you not afraid, Big Brother Albion?"
"Hm? There's nothing in this world that can make me feel fear anymore. Instead, it is the world that should fear me," Albion casually said with a distant look that seems to say that he had already seen the sunny days and stormy weathers life had to offer.
Falling out of the skies without a parachute? Checked.
Sinking to the deepest depths of the ocean with an anchor? Checked.
Fear of the darkness? Huh? Darkness? Was that a thing?
As for things that he cannot beat? Let's be honest, he was the only True Immortal in the world.
What cannot be beaten by him after lifting the seal?
