Samuel was on his way to Spartacus, while on his way he completed bunch of low level Missions to promote his Bounty hunter's rank.
His goal was to be promoted to Silver rank hunter before departing to Solan to meet his parents. And his reasons to do that was simple.
Spacial storage, a function that is exclusive for Silver Rank hunter's and above.
Samuel still felt that heavy sense of loss when he left that body of Chaos Lion inside the forest.
Though normal monster corpse don't contain much value, but Rank 7 and above are highly on demand.
Especially among those Alchemists, who are willing to pay any absurd amount for them.
~Ding~
Just as Samuel reached the outskirts of sparta Kingdom he heard a familiar sound coming from his hunter's Badge.

Requirements:- 7 Star Knight/Mage or above.

Without any hesitation, Samuel accepted the mission and rushed towards the given location.

"I think those people stopped following us." Daniel Murmured.
"Don't react and just keep moving, those people are already dead." Newmann explained.
"Dead!, how ?" Daniel exclaimed with a shocked expression on his face.
"You idiot !, Calm down a bit, can't you hear what I just said. just keep walking, you can't handle them on your own. "
Daniel followed Newman's instruction and kept his casual expression, while darting out of this place.
They were followed by a group of people from Tempest Kingdom, Eventually they ignored those people since it was a group of slightly trained people which Daniel could handle by himself.
But soon their presence completely disappeared leaving few wailing cries behind.
"That's why I told you to keep practicing your Swordsmanship, now look, I Maxwell Newman who slayed atleast a dozen of demon monarch's, have to run from these measly demons." Newman Roared.
"D..De..Demons!!, why the hell are the here ?, and why haven't they attack us yet ?."
"Do you want them to attack you ? " Newman grumbled before answering Daniel's questions
"It's just Savouring you, like a cat playing with a trapped mouse. "
"They are a bunch of sadistic bastards, After dealing with them for almost half of my life I came to a conclusion, they do things because they can, there's no greater cause or goal."
Newman gave a thought before continuing
"Atleast that was the case 5000 years ago, for now I can't tell much about them."
"So, is there something we can do." Daniel inquired with a pleading eyes.
"For now let's get out of this place, In worst case scenario we will have to use that." Newman replied.
Daniel immediately shook his head and replied
"No..Not that, last time we used that , I fell unconscious for 2 days, and if that happens again in the middle of the forest we are doomed."
"I know, that's why I am telling you to get out of here as fast as possible without raising their suspicion."
Daniel kept walking towards the outskirts while totally ignoring the presence of couple of dark vile figure following them from behind.
He kept praying, these demons would keep on ignoring him before he could get out of this place.
But soon he understood, it was his wishful thinking as it seems, this demons got bored keeping an eye on him.
As two large figure flew above him and landed in front of him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a boring insect ?, Can't you even entertain us a bit ? "
"I told you we should just kill him, what a waste of time. "
Both of them had a large dark humanoid body covered with muddy miasma, with red eyes and bat like wings, those curved horns placed over their heads only added their more fieriosity to their appearance.
While looking at those two huge figures who were looking at him as if they were wronged, Daniel could only curse inwardly as he thought.
' Why the fuck are you bastards acting like your the victims in here.'
Daniel immediately raised his sword at pointed it towards the two figures standing in front of him.
"Mr Sword I think we have no choice but to use that." after saying that Daniel glared at the demons in front of him.
Looking at the rusty sword In front of them the two demons made a mocking smile and replied
"Kekkeekeke, what the hell is that ? "
"Are you planning to kill us with that piece of junk"
Daniel ignored those mocking insults and inhaled a deep breath before he exclaimed
"TAKE OVE....."
But just before daniel could finish his word a figure dashed passed him. and jumped straight towards one of the two demons present in their.
Soon that unknown figure and the demon came face to face , as he raised his sword and performed a clean vertical slash, cleaving the demon into two.
Without giving much thought it immediately rushed towards the second demon.
Looking at the instant death of his companion, the other felt a chill all over his body.
As it raised it's hand and covered his entire body with miasma. Covering him with a thick black smoke like substance, to block the incoming attack.
As the mysterious figure raised his sword while performing a dozen of simple sword stabs while murmuring.
FIRST FORM OF VULCUNUS SWORDSMANSHIP
"Water Sword :- Leviathan's Wrath "
Those simple sword stabs turned into a brilliant and radiant streak of light ,leaving a slight blue hue behind as it rushed straight towards the demon.
Leaving multiple holes left behind by those sword stabs all over that Demon's body before it fell straight to the ground.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Daniel was in a daze before snapping out of it, especially thanks to Newman.
He looked at the figure in front of him, who looked a few years older than him.
Brown hair Brown eyes, everything about him screamed Ordinary, But in Daniel's eyes he was the most revered existence he has ever met after his own sword and companion Maxwell Newman.
