Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 156: Chapter 155: Enemies Lurking

The temple was very big, even the stairs were huge, going up to the top of a hill.

All the way up the stairs, there were decorating lanterns in different shapes, some like stuffed animals while others were something like a really pretty amazing porcelain vase that changed color adjusting with the lighting, it was a sight to behold.

After walking the entire set of stairs, they arrived at the top of the temple. The voices were now more frequent to hear and louder. Unlike when they went up the stairs, they now noticed that there were a lot of people walking around and smiling at the time. Many children came with their parents or guardians.

In a festive mood, Nero and the rest were very excited.

'Were these kinds of festivals always so festive and full of people?' Elsa never had time to attend such an event. From a young age, she strove to be a good sinner.

The sinners of the sea, go through even greater dangers than the Hunters who explore the dungeons. The danger at sea was something not to be underestimated. Because of this, she barely had time to participate in these events as her dream was to be the best fisherman on the island.

However, that dream was interrupted when her little sister was taken away. She took a break from her dream, to travel all over the world in search of her little sister.

Not that she was away from the sea all this time, she often did fishing activities; precisely because of this, she did not have time to participate in such events.

"Amelia?"

From a distance, it was almost impossible to see Amelia's exquisite beauty and facial features. Jair could only dimly see the pitted curves of her beautiful body; her figure was nearly perfect with almost no trace of fat. She was wearing a black nightgown that clearly showed her curves. On top of that, she wore a large ocean blue T-shirt with ripped holes.

This served to add a trace of laziness and indifference. The outfit was paired with dark blue jeans that allowed her to show off her slender and surprisingly slim legs to Jair.

"Did you see the girl you fell in love with at first sight?" Jana joked as she nudged Jair.

"Yes..." Subconsciously, Jair ended up nodding as he looked in Amelia's direction.

"Tsk..." Jana clicked her tongue and laughed. She hadn't expected that her joking question would eventually reveal this.

After a quick thought, she looked in the direction Jair was looking, then she saw the girl who was in Jair's vision as if there is only that girl in the whole big picture.

'Mm... It's very far away, but I can say she's a beauty. No wonder my silly little brother is so mesmerized by this girl...' She chuckled quietly.

"If you want, you can go there and talk to her." Jana gave Jair a little push: "See, she seems to be alone, but there are flies around her..."

"I... I'll say hello to her, then I'll come back," Jair said before saying goodbye.

Nero saw this and laughed. The rest also laughed a little.

After walking some more, Nero whispered something very softly next to Elsa's ear: "Big sister, there are enemies nearby."

"Like you..."

"Simplified." Nero interrupted: "I have something like an identifier of enemies around me. You can't see it, but it works like a map, only on this map, there are green dots, which means living beings that are not a threat to me, darker green which means people closest to me, and finally, red. The redder, the greater the threat. There are currently 6 red dots around us..."

After saying all this, Nero began to say the location of the people that appear on the map.

Initially, Elsa didn't notice the enemies, however, once Nero passed the enemies' coordinates, she was able to focus and find them. 'This is quite formidable...' She thought.

"It's good that you have something like that." She smiled. But, soon her face turned cold: "They are quite bold in wanting to target you!"

As Nero had explained, this map only works if it's going to threaten her, if they target her friends, if you don't intend to harm Nero in any way, they won't show up in red on the map.

After a few seconds, Elsa added, "They're not stronger than you. It seems whoever sent them doesn't know how strong my little sister is." When she said so far, there was a subtle hint of pride. Nero's growth was by far the most incredible she had ever experienced or even heard of in legends and myths.

"Yes, I can tell by the size of the red dot." Nero explained in a low voice: "The bigger the red dot, it means more danger, at the moment I can say it is not above level 30. I am currently at level 32, dealing with this type of person is not difficult, besides. .." Nero closed his lips tightly, then a smug smile formed: "Even my summon monsters have a power greater than theirs."

"Fortunately yes." Elsa nodded and said, "Then let's let them follow us, let's see what exactly their intention is. In the meantime, try not to alert the enemies if possible, I will try to intercept if they communicate with anyone outside."

Nero quickly understood what Elsa was implying. She smiled: "Yes, if they are because of Eliane or for some other reason, it is still not clear, it would be better to try to find out before attacking them, after all, if they decide to commit suicide, we will not get any information."

Elsa's eyes showed surprise for a second, then a glint of pride replaced it. She smiled all the way down as she stopped talking softly to Nero.

Because of the festival, Choko and the rest didn't notice that Nero and Elsa were arguing about something important.

Even Choko and Yui who looked at Nero quite often just thought that Nero and Elsa were having a normal conversation.

"This looks delicious... Degozaru." Jingu muttered as they arrived in front of a meat skewer stall.
