Chapter 4 - Bigger Than Expected

"What the hell! why there's so many tikbalang here!" One of the hunter yelled after seeing a numerous of tikbalang standing on the food court inside the mall.

One the the tikbalang then saw the hunters, it then screamed at them and charge. The other tikbalang also do the same, after a while the food court went into chaos, there's a battle on every corner. But the hunters got the upper hand, they are far more stronger than their enemies, the other hunters wonder on how they are easily winning this.

"The tikbalang is a high tier monster, yet some of the amateurs on the hunt was beating them easily, do you got any idea on how they are winning Dina?" Dino asked to his sister as they both hover above the food court, observing the fight.

"Those tikbalang are just newly borned, that's why they are still weak.." Dina answered to her brother question.

"Newly borned?" Dino inquired.

"Yeah, Petra must be the one who probably gave birth to them. Follow me Dino we need the find her quick." Dina responded as she flew to the northeast of the food court, heading to the department store.

"If i remember right, i saw something weird on this area after Dino quickly burned the whole place back then." Dina mumbled to herself as she flew toward the department store.

When Dina and Dino have finally arrived at the department store, they saw a bunch of newly borned of tikbalang, guarding the department store. Dina landed silently on the ground, but Dino didn't, while still on air, Dino remove the flames beneath his feets, and landed to the ground in such a loud way.

"Dino!" Dina exclaimed at him after his loud entrance.

Every tikbalang on the area heard Dino, they then all stared at him. Their eyes suddenly turned red, and ran toward Dino. They move is such a quick speed, and in such a intimidating way. In just a second they already managed to get close to Dino. One of the tikbalang attacked Dino, but Dina interrupted the attack.

"Get ready Dino!" Dina shouted at Dino. Dina then created two swords blazing in white, by using her magic, she then throw the another sword to Dino who are just staring at her.

"But Dina, we don't need this, we can just blow them with our magic.." Dino spoke.

"Did you already forgot the rule, Dino? no damages, or no money.." Dina said back.

"Oh right! hehe sorry i forgot about the rule." Dino said as he giggled.

Dino and Dina then proceed to fight every tikbalang around the area, the two of them are just casually beating every tikbalang that approached them. As the fight kept going, Krona who are still sleeping on Dina's hair, have finally woken up, mostly because of the scream the tikbalang do after they Dina stabbed them, or maybe she woke up because of Dino who is shouting every attack he do, just like an anime protagonist.

"..Good morning, Dina.. Why your brother keep shouting?" Krona whispered at Dina's ears.

She sighed and silently said, "Just ignore it.."

"Left attack! Right Kick!! I call this move "The punch to the nose" Move!" Dino yelled as he defeat the five tikbalang attacking him.

"Dino.. stop shouting every move you do! because if you did they are going to know your next move!" Dina exclaimed at her brother.

"Oh right! i didn't think of that, thanks for the tip Dina!" Dino replied to his sister, he then gives her a thumbs up.

"Anyway, good morning Krona, sorry for my brother being loud, he is just copying the other hunters, who love shouting their ultimate moves.." Dina said.

"I see.. Anyway Dina, is this the hunt your talking about last night?" Krona asked.

"Yeah, if we killed the enemy we will get the money we needed." Dina replied.

"Why you need the money anyway? will that help in our search for the Great End?" Krona inquired.

"Yeah, with this money i can go commute to any other places since Philippines is an archipelago. Like if the Great End doesn't live in Luzon we need to used boats or planes to go jump to the other island, like Visayas or Mindanao. I can also used the money to buy equipments to help me kill the Great End, and a house.." Dina explained.

"Hmm, I see this money is really important. Well then let me help you Dina!" Krona said.

"Thanks Krona." Dina replied.

Dina then explained to Krona the details about the hunt. While Dina is explaining the details to Krona, Dino's fight with his enemies are getting more intense as more tikbalang who is stronger and much quicker than the others are showing up.

"No damages or no money!" Dino repeatedly saying to himself, preventing himself to go destroy the entire mall as his enemies are getting more stronger, Dino then suddenly started to used magic. He used magic to make himself fly just like what they did earlier, but instead of flying back away, he flew toward his enemies, he then increase the output of the flames beneath his feets, making him much more quicker than before.

As he flew toward the enemies in such a quick speed, Dino quickly slice all of the tikbalang, simultaneously, but even though he managed to kill all of them, more are still approaching him. All of the tikbalang is now focusing on Dino, no one was attacking Dina anymore, Dina didn't realized as she was busy explaining things to Krona, until she saw Dino just standing and staring at her, with a dozen of dead tikbalang lying around him.

"Hey Dina, I'm getting tired here you know.." He said.

"Y-yeah sorry for not helping you, i was searching the area for Petra." Dina replied.

"Have you found her? i don't want to fight more horses." He asked.

"Hey Krona, have you already found her?" Dina silently asked.

"Yeah, she is coming for you guys.." Krona replied.

"She's what!" Dina shouted.

"Dina? why are you shouting." Dino asked as he was perplexed by Dina's sudden shouting.

A crouching black tikbalang, with glowing red eyes then suddenly showed up behind Dino's back, "You killed my babies" The tikbalang said at Dino, it then quickly try to punch Dino, but Dina saved him by setting it's hands on fire, on which it quickly extinguish by spitting on it.

Dino quickly jumped back to get away of the mysterious tikbalang, "Dina! that horse talked!" Dino said as he point at the black tikbalang.

"Yeah, i heard that, and if it talked, then that means... Hey! are you Petra?" She asked the crouching tikbalang before her.

"Yes" It replied. The tikbalang then stop crouching and stood up, revealing it to be very tall and huge than the other tikbalang.

"Well, who would have thought. It's bigger than expected."
