Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 14 - 14

Strangely, everyone else understood only a few words that the winged woman said. Her words were in their language but mixed with another language, and it was very difficult to understand what was saying. But no one had time to think about it, especially those who had become her targets. While in the air, she hurled rocks surrounded by a blue aura down on them at surprising speed. If these thieves were just a little careless, they would be seriously injured or even killed.

"Damn, keep shooting that winged woman with arrows!" The thief leader screamed in frustration. His face that was already ugly became even worse by his distorted expression of anger.

Seeing that another thief had taken out a bow as well and started shooting arrows at her, Nero flew higher and higher out of range of the arrows.

Upon her doing this, the bald thief took the opportunity to slip out unnoticed and flee. He would not put his life at risk because of other people. He didn't care if these thieves lived or died; he had just met them by chance. Because of this, there also was no way the head of the Silver Thief Guild was going to learn that he ran away, leaving his comrades to die.

Nero did not understand or know exactly what she was. She had basically everything going for her, a keener nose than a normal person, the ability to see from far away, good hearing that was able to hear from far away (that's how she heard these bandits' laughter while flying above them), and also very sharp natural instincts. Seeing from the sky that same bald thief who tried to **** her before wanting to escape, she tracked him with her eyes.

Nero looked like an eagle watching the bald thief, preparing to attack. She didn't need to support Choko's group so much at the moment, because after she killed one of them and left another half-dead, the pressure they were feeling decreased a lot. Her interest was now set on this bald thief who was trying to escape. When the bald thief stepped away from the group of thieves and started running very fast, Nero's first reaction was to take a stone from her inventory and follow the bald thief.

Kisame, the bald thief, was so focused on running away, running with all his strength that he didn't notice he was being chased. He was so caught up in running that he didn't even look back, much less look at the sky. Before the bald thief could be happy about his escape, Nero threw a stone at high speed in his direction.

*Whoosh!*

The sound of the stone cutting through the air echoed and the bald thief shuddered with fear, running faster. That same sound had been present even in his recent nightmares. When he slept before, he dreamed that he was being attacked by stones from heaven and the image of Nero always invaded his mind and disturbed his sleep.

Kisame threw himself to the right in a decisive way, dodging the stone that flew towards him. He shouted with anger and fear as he stood up, "Mercy, stop following me, wretched woman!"

"Oh, weren't you the one who chased me first? Now, I am just returning the favor," Nero said. She swore that she tried to speak in the same language as the bald thief, but she did not know that everything came out in a strange way with a mix of words from this world and her previous world.

'What did this strange woman say now?' Kisame didn't have time to try to find out what she said, because Nero made the next move.

*Booom!* *Booom!* *Booom!*

Faced with the stone rain straight out of his nightmares, Kisame did everything to avoid them and not be hit. However, some ended up hitting his feet and arms, and one even grazed his head. Blood began to drain from his temple, down past his eyes. His arms and legs were very sore, and if it weren't for the fact that he was a level 5 and had a tough body, he would have likely already died.

Nero was surprised to see that this bald thief had not yet died or passed out even after being hit by so many stones, but she did not think about it and attacked again, however this time she used her ability that had finished cooling down.

*[Queen's throw]*

*Whoosh!*

The thrown stone swept through the wind, making an amazing sound, and whizzed towards the bald thief. With his injured feet, Kisame clenched his teeth and tried to run, but he wasn't fast enough. The stone that descended from the sky was far too fast for him to be able to dodge in his current condition.

"Urghhhh!"

Hellish pain invaded his body and he screamed loudly as if there was no tomorrow. The stone lodged itself in his chest and pierced his lung, scraping his heart. Falling to the floor with the sound of *thud!*, Kisaro vomited blood and looked at Nero with his bloodshot eyes full of anger and resentment.

Nero descended to the dirt floor. Walking towards the bald thief, she looked at him and as much as she hated him for trying to **** her before, she didn't want to be watching him suffer, wasting too much time on it.

· Primal Slime Level 3 has been invoked!

_ _

*[Spit Acid]!*

At the same time that she summoned Primal Slime, she commanded it to attack with acid.

"No-" That was the last word the bald thief said before he was hit by the acid in his face and died.

_ _

· You defeated the Human: [Thief] Rank F: Level 5.

_ _

Nero did not want to see the thief's face deformed by the acid, so she commanded the Primal Slime to "eat" the bald thief's body and looked away.

*

Choko, for the first time in her life, killed someone. She looked at her bloodstained glove which she used to punch in the thief's head and her body trembled. It was a terrible feeling.

Jana, seeing Choko's pale face and shaking body, came over and hugged her gently. Jana didn't know what to say at the moment, so she remained silent while her friend cried in her arms.

"I killed... I killed someone..." Choko murmured while crying.

Jair and Breno had to make even more effort not to let the two girls be attacked while Choko was in shock from having killed someone. But luckily for them, Nero came back just then.

Seeing Nero's return, whom they thought fled, the thieves began to once again be afraid. Before, they had already feared that winged girl who was even more difficult to catch than a slippery mouse, but now that she returned and there were only 5 left on their side who could fight, it made them curse their bad luck: especially Nero, the cause of their bad luck!

"Did I miss anything?" Nero found it strange that the two girls were hugging each other while crying. However, soon she realized that a thief had died from a heavy punch, and seeing blood on Choko's glove, she was able to understand what had happened.
