Headstrong Level One Chaser (part 6)
The chaser was anticipating that the newbie would get scared to face him suddenly but what was with his expressionless face?
He was not showing any expression much less getting scared.
Qiao actually had no reason to get scared because he was also at level one with the added advantage of having a better weapon. Unlike what his opponent believed; he wasn't a newbie anymore.
This chaser seemed to be overly confident or ignorant to have even come here to settle a grudge when he had already once faced him and been defeated by his strength.
This should be called height of stupidity now.
"You sure are arrogant to the point to remain so confidant in face of defeat. Today I will grant you a miserable fate." the chaser opened his mouth and shouted.
"Hah, few people open their mouths and only know how to spout bullshit," Qiao smirked as he fastened his grip on the shapeless weapon. He also keenly observed his surroundings to find out if this chaser was alone or had brought others to trap him.
Good thing if he was actually alone and had someone here to stupidly be defeated again.
"Brother, he is really strong. Should we run away to save our lives?" Linwin was not sure why this brother of his was being stubborn despite clearly having seen the difference in the level.
"If we run away today, we will be running our whole life and will be bullied to a great extent. Do you want that to happen?" Qiao asked Linwin while taking a step toward the chaser. He firmly placed a step forward towards the chaser as if challenging him.
He observed his standing position and was aware that both Linwin and him were standing at a disadvantageous place. It was steep and the enemy was a cunning fox. He had a better positioning to move and could attack much easily.
But Qiao's action angered the chaser more.
Just how arrogant…
He shook his head and swayed his sword, "If I killed you, I will surely tell the tale about your arrogance to the others," the chaser smirked.
"Sure but it depends on who would survive in the end," Qiao gestured Linwin to move further away from the steep side.
The chaser suddenly attacked and Qiao dodged with the agility of a level one chaser. The ignorant chaser was still not aware that he was a level one hunter too and underestimated him.
As Qiao moved at an equal pace as with a level one, the chaser was amazed. He was not anticipating this reaction speed. Or rather he did not want to believe it.
The hunting of monsters completely depend on the few skills hunters had and the agility comes first in the order.
"Are you hiding your true strength?" the chaser finally asked.
"It's not that I am hiding. I showed it to you yesterday but because of your ignorance you are unwilling to believe it," Qiao spoke and it directly slapped the chaser.
This was the truth but he was unwilling to believe.
"You are just a headstrong idiot," the chaser angrily spouted and attacked forward to throw Qiao down from the steep side toward the lower hills.
It was his second plan which he thought to use, if he could not kill him with fair means.
But even as the chaser attacked carelessly, Qiao quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack closely. But the chaser was not so lucky. He lost his own balance immediately fell down the side and rolled down the hill.
At this moment, his team members who were looking for him heard the noise and quickly came over there. They had followed the traces and were searching for this guy in this region too since morning.
They saw him falling down while the young man was standing little away from there.
They could see how the chaser fell so they hurriedly came to see when they heard they again heard the voice of the chaser calling for help.
They had little to no grudge against this young man but still wanted curse him as the headstrong newbie in their heads.
"He is hanging on the bushes down there, look," a chaser happened to see and pointed.
"Who will go down and bring him up?" another chaser asked.
"I am not taking this risk," someone immediately refused to render any help. This was a dangerous steep side and if he were to fell, probably no one would remember his bones too.
His luck was not good enough to allow him to survive a fall from this height.
The man looked at others and they also shook their heads.
"If no one is willing then I can't do anything either. It's his fault to have done something stupid, let's go back," the man who was probably their team leader took all of them and went back. He did not bother to talk with Qiao either, because he didn't want to come on bad terms with this headstrong but certainly a level one chaser.
There was no doubt anymore that the young man was a level one currently.
Qiao was looking speechlessly when they left, the chaser was still shouting for help.
Now he was in a dilemma whether to save the chaser or ignore his life.
Linwin heaved a sigh when he saw that Qiao was safe but instead the chaser fell from the steep.
"Linwin, how we should bring him up?" Qiao thought to ask Linwin.
"Ah, brother you want to save him?" Linwin asked with great surprise.
His own people abandoned him and brother was thinking to save him despite knowing that he was bearing a strong grudge against him.
"I am not saving him, I just wanted him to tell others to not take a newbie as an easy feast," Qiao shook his head.
His idea was simple. After being repeatedly defeated by him, he wanted to scare this chaser so that he would warn others to not bully and push around zeroes as they liked. It would be a lesson for all of them.
