Chapter 80: First Mission Commences (2)
A blue anaconda extended its head for them!
Which was like a spear of a seasoned warrior zooming to impale its foes.
Fortunately, Hunter sensed it quick enough.
With his new experiences and flaws in mind, he slid the front of his tongue on his canine, rapidly responding to the assault of the monster by gathering some of his blood there.
And then, he spat it at the blue anaconda's head.
Splashing on the snout, the blood perfectly stopped the monster's ambush. Of course, Hunter was aware that snakes had poor eyesight and relied on different senses to assault.
Which was why he instantly proceeded to show the results of his training with Aimee and Seraphina!
"Rose Closure!"
Following his order, the blood blossomed into roses, wrapping around the snake's jaw like a tie, shutting it close. No amount of strength would be able to free the snake from this bloody trap!
It didn't mean that it was no longer deadly, however.
Even if the jaw couldn't threaten Hunter, the force of inertia, weight, and the monster's flesh and natural strength were all sources of power to be reckoned with.
Which meant that Hunter raised his guard, taking the brunt of the anaconda slamming its head into him.
The impact of their clash numbed them both.
But the monster was the first one to shake it off, extending forward to warp around Hunter's limbs, planning to let out the blue poison through its scales.
However, it was one of the patterns Hunter had read about before coming here. He wasn't worried that he would end up like the woman he had seen just before entering the forest, as he had already taken proper measures to deal with it.
To say nothing of his limbs being protected by his black leather armor, Hunter had taken an antidote as well, which would enable him to hunt monsters for hours. On top of having all those defenses against the poison, Hunter survived Brandi's assault, making him more immune to poisons.
He was also a human with unlimited stamina and unique origins dwelling within him.
He once again dared to take the brunt of the monsters with his body.
Things weren't the same, however.
Hunter became faster… much faster than before.
"I got you!"
Extending his arms to work together with his Red Roses, Hunter caught the head of the snake in a deathly lock, pressuring the monster with his raw strength. At the same time, Aimee and Seraphina had finally joined the fray, slashing their swords at the anaconda's long, glassy scales.
Against this inhuman strength, the crimson-haired woman's heavy sword, and the golden-haired woman's precision, the first monster was powerlessly stranded, unable to leverage its poison to melt into Hunter's defenses.
It soon fell and died, with its corpse turned into a mini trophy.
"Wait for a second," Aimee called Seraphina before she used her skill to store the dead snake, "I need to take a photo of my first trophy on the first mission."
"That's such a good idea! Want me to be in the background?" Hunter squatted before the snake and waved for Seraphina to come closer, "Come here, Sera!"
"Ok…" Seraphina took Hunter's side, squatting as well.
Looking at them with an odd face, Aimee sighed, "I'll take a trophy photo first, then a victory one."
She took first a picture of the killed snake, then told Hunter to spit blood at her. This request made him look at her oddly, but he followed her desire, sending a bullet of blood in her direction.
Which Aimee gracefully avoided.
It splashed on the tree instead.
"Red Rose now."
As the blood grew into a rose, Aimee put her tablet inside and clicked on a picture feature, but with a delay. Soon, she skipped her way to her boyfriend and wrapped her arms around him from behind, her breath tickling his ear.
Soon, Aimee had her first pictures that would be honorably displayed in a grand spot in the far future.
"Let's continue the hunt… there's so much of them that we will be ambushed by them from time to time… but if we use traps, we will be the ones having them dancing on our palms," Hunter sneered as it was time to showcase his experience with mapping and traps.
He used the tablet to get a map, then proceeded to litter the forest with his traps.
His team followed his guidance, each planted in a different spot to keep an eye on the monsters. Those less intelligent monsters were easily drawn to Hunter's traps, which were studied by intelligence teams of the First Hunter Union and Susan Valkoch, creating first-rate traps against the forest's monsters.
Blue Anacondas were falling into them like ants rushing to leftovers of food.
And then, Hunter, Aimee, and Seraphina ambushed them, drawing a path with monsters' blood in their wake. Sometimes, they were still assailed first by those monsters, but Hunter was always the first one to spot them, using his blood bullets to draw a net of safety over his team.
With his body being faster, all thanks to Aimee awakening a little of his Agility Origin, Hunter was catching them in his locks like a pro wrestler, winning against the wilderness.
Soon, it was time to once again drink the antidote. It also grew darker in the forest since the team had spent some hours inside the deadly forest, dancing with blood and poisons.
Which was what Hunter and his teammates were ready for.
After unfolding the tent, Hunter created a mini safe zone with his traps, which were like totems. Those totems exuded a smell that no monster of this forest could fight against. With so many of them circling around the tent, no wildlife would first attack their tent.
Their range was also minimal, so it wasn't like Hunter was threatening his party this way. Only a monster that approached really close here would get stirred by those totems.
In this scenario, totems weren't dangerous at all.
"Take a nap, my beautiful teammates! I will be on standby!" Hunter invited two beautiful partners into the tent, pointing at himself, telling them he was the best guard they could have gotten.
Aimee was compelled to agree, "I'm already pleased by the fact that I don't have to eat… but I will surely fill myself with lots of sweets and black tea once we return home."
"Good idea!" Hunter grinned.
Seraphina nodded, "I'll finish my meal as fast as possible so you can sleep well."
"It's fine. I don't think I can fall asleep so fast in this forest," Aimee looked around.
As she noticed Hunter keeping his eyes rolling around them to keep them safe, she mischievously rose on her feet to peck his lips before entering the tent.
"Don't let your eyes roll off."
"I'd cross seven mountains and rivers to heal them should I lose them, just to be able to see you every morning!"
"Ah, that's what I call a good way to score points in my heart. Wake me up when something off happens."
"Yeah. Sweet dreams."
And six hours later, something off occurred.
The domain of the Blue Anaconda Boss stretched toward them, swallowing them.
-
"Aimee!" Hunter gently jostled his girlfriend, waking her up from the nap.
Feeling the movement, Seraphina opened her eyes and rose to the battle position with her hand on her sword's hilt. She was clearly honed in the wilderness, as such a quick reaction was only possible after a few unfortunate experiences in the wild areas.
Having their eyes on him, Hunter nodded and whispered, "We're in the domain."
"How come? We didn't move at all…" Aimee whispered back, then peeked outside, noticing that the scenery had changed a little, with many more vines obscuring their vision and movement.
The air was also different… and even slightly dense fog weaved between the trees.
Which meant they were undoubtedly in the domain…
"This fog is the worst… I think the traps no longer work…" Hunter shared his first assessment of the situation before everyone exited their tent.
Packing it swiftly, the party was soon ready to cross the domain to either find the boss or just leave it. It'd be much better to leave it as the information about the boss was limited.
The antidote against normal blue anacondas surely wasn't enough against this existence.
No one also knew what kind of… grade this monster was. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈
Hunter whispered as he moved forward with his team, "How is this mission the most popular one? We didn't even go deep into the forest yet are in the domain."
"This is what is the most suspicious. It's as if we are targeted. No reports of a domain extending toward the outer part of the forest have ever been reported before… if this is common, then no one has ever safely left this domain. It's as bad as it could have ever gotten… I hope I haven't jinxed it," Aimee explained as she had properly read the mission's content before.
Hunter clicked his tongue, "It's just the first mission, yet we're in deep shit! World Order, and now this. What else?"
"It's so unlike you to complain like that," Aimee gently elbowed her boyfriend.
Which he quickly made her regret.
"I want to go to hot springs with you... and easy income to cover our apartment expenses! Then I can safely roam the world and meet more people!"
Aimee ignored those words and turned to Seraphina, "Forgive me. It's my fault he's that horny."
"No, no… it's funny to listen to it… Uh, I usually get tense in this environment, but you two make it easy to swallow and move forward. I believe we will overcome it. None of us want to stop our journey here," Seraphina replied with a broad smile.
Hunter laughed, "That's my future wife!"
"Already back to yourself?" Aimee sneered before noticing an army of blue anacondas slithering their way toward them.
Her entire demeanor changed.
Following that was a huge drop in the temperature.
Hunter noticed that Aimee would soon use a new technique she had learned on their way here, "Remember. You can't refill your lifespan off monsters… it's just humans and spirits from now on."
Aimee nodded, "I know… one percent should be enough against them. You two will finish them."
After these words, Aimee's black sword shivered with cold steam and black aura, coalescing into one wave bobbing on her blade with profound and unique energy.
Lunging forward, Aimee slashed the air with her sword, forming a wide slash before herself, which shot forward like a grim reaper's scythe, drawing blood on the blood anacondas' long bodies…
"Soul Slash!"
A new skill to add more diversity to her style!
