“Marksmen, fire!” Upon Ryuka’s order, all the ranged weapon users fired their attacks at once. All targeting the glands on the colossus’s head. The glands popped after receiving multiple hits. Even more of the gas was released when they popped. The mages who were ready, casted their spells together. “[Cloudburst]!” Many magic circles formed in the sky and a sudden downpour was created above the colossus. The rain washed away the fog of gas. Once all the gas was cleared up, the mages stopped their spells. “Goodwork everyone. Alright you two, let’s go!” Along with Ryuka, Ajax and Rain charged toward the colossus. The beast croaked loudly. The Hunters kept advancing with their weapons ready to strike it. Ryuka landed on top of the colossus and stabbed it with his claymore with all his might. His sword managed

In a restaurant somewhere within the southwestern city of Klap, there was a gathering held. The restaurant was closed for a few days to prepare for such an event. It was a gathering of the Hunters that contributed to the quest. The Hunter Association had sponsored the event. Kaito Mato, the Hunter Association’s vice president, was the person assigned to supervise the whole operation and was also the one who stepped up to give a short speech. “Ahem, I am not a man of formalities so I apologise first of all. Now, first and foremost I congratulate you all on the successful hunt. The beast was one of the Seven Colossi and was undoubtedly powerful. Yet you all have accomplished the quest and defeated it.” Kaito glanced over all the Hunters present. He continued, “It was a beast protected under strict laws. However, once it became hostile, we were forced to kill it before it would b

"So, the suspicion we've had can be confirmed now?" Bronto asked Crymillia who was once again being treated by Pearl. "Yes. I recognise that kind of aura any- ow! Anywhere." Crymillia said. "Are you still not used to getting your wounds treated? You're such a baby." Pearl said and lightly slapped her sister's wound. "Ow! Come on, don't do that! And I'm not a baby!" Crymillia squirmed and wanted to slap Pearl back. Bronto stopped both of them. "Alright, that's enough you two. Hah… you're both adults. Anyway, that guy really is a Dragon Emperor. This is a surprise. I thought he was on Earth. Why did no one report this?" Bronto had a stern look on his face. He was a bit angry. “Speaking of, what about his other relatives?” Bronto asked. Pearl only shrugged and frowned. “I don’t know. I mean, who has time and ca

"What's this about me?" Matthew asked after he silently entered the ward. Cecilia and Rose were speechless. He had just suddenly showed up right as they were talking about him. "Matthew." Matthew smiled and walked closer when Rose mentioned his name. "I was so worried about you, Rose." Matthew held Rose's shoulder. Time stopped at that moment. Rose stared at Matthew's face that was lit by the sunlight. She could see trickles of sweat which showed that he came in a hurry. His clothes were dirty which showed he had just come from a quest. His sword was still on his waist. He did not return to the mansion to put it away. He had literally just returned, and headed straight here. She was so happy about that. "Rose, are you okay?" Matthew's question broke her out of her trance. "Y-yes, I'm okay." Rose s

Rose opened her eyes to a completely intact hospital ward. Everything was fine as if nothing at all happened. “Was that just a dream?” Rose thought. “I hate falling in dreams.” “Rose!” Cecilia came crashing down the door as she did before and hugged Rose. “Oof!” Rose was once again surprised. “Cecilia! Get off me!” Rose pushed Cecilia away hard. Cecilia was utterly shocked and confused but she still managed to apologise. “I’m, I’m sorry Rose. I was just too happy to see you awake now.” Her face brightened up almost immediately. Rose was still trying to catch her breath. “Please don’t just jump on people who just woke up like that.” “Y-yeah, sorry.” Not long after, the same doctor and the same few nurses came in. “Miss Ce
