Chapter 72: The Crossroads Killer
Tyler exited the hallway, returning to the innkeeper to bypass them and head to his own room. Upstairs, he entered, sat on the bed, and began to think. "I really need to craft all the materials in my recipes," he mused, "otherwise they're just going to pile up. I need to buy a barrel and fill it with water, then put it in my inventory. That way I won't have to worry about finding water for potions. If I'd had that barrel with me, I could have helped Rebecca when she was hurt. I wouldn't have had to run all the way to the river to fill those vials. Right after I deliver the trihorn hide to the tent, I'm going to have to repay Grone. I think I'll have enough money by then. And I'm going to have to check in with Hector's shop—see if they've sold the shield, and, well, see if Emily's doing okay. She must be fine by now. I hope she doesn't do anything… wrong. That might piss off Hector, or he might fire her." He paused, considering. "I don't even know people's preferences in this world. We
Chapter 71: A Broken Path
Tyler’s eyebrows rose in surprise. "The Black Cloud Guild?"Rebecca nodded. "Yes, the Black Cloud Guild. They're not that famous. They only started about a year ago, but some of the members had been working together before that. You look surprised. Didn't you know he was one of them?""Uh, yeah," Tyler admitted, "I didn't know he was part of the Black Cloud Guild. I've heard of them, but… to think he was a member.""What? You didn't know?" Rebecca asked, incredulous."No, I didn't," Tyler confirmed."Well, that must mean you don't know about their emblem," Rebecca said. "Each member of the Black Cloud Guild has a black cloud emblem drawn onto their armor. No matter what kind of hunter they are, they all have it."Tyler tapped a finger against the table, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Now that I think about it," he murmured, "he did have some kind of drawing on his robe that looked like a cloud. I just thought it was part of his armor's design.""Yeah," Tyler said aloud, "so wha
Chapter 70: A Kind Of Streanght
Tyler stared at the Trihorn and the other Hexhorns resting amidst the Vital Flowers. "Trihorn?" he muttered, taking a hesitant step backward. *It's a boss monster, isn't it? And it already noticed me,* he thought.The Trihorn let out a deafening shriek, its sound echoing through the clearing. The other Hexhorns stirred, rising to their feet. *Shit,* Tyler muttered. *Just when I thought this couldn't get worse, now they all noticed me. They're probably going to attack all at once.*An idea sparked in his mind. He looked down at Rebecca. "Hey, wake up," he said.Rebecca groaned, her eyes slowly opening to the sight of the numerous Hexhorns and the Trihorn. "What is going on?" she whispered, her voice weak and strained."This is probably going to be painful," Tyler said. "I just want to say sorry in advance."Fear flickered in Rebecca's eyes. Then, a flurry of system messages appeared before Tyler:Level 52 Hexhorn has activated skill: Charge.Level 62 Hexhorn has activated skill: Charge
Chapter 69: Hunter's Mercy
The darkening forest, bathed in the fiery hues of the setting sun, served as a backdrop to the scene unfolding before Rebecca. Tyler stood over her, concern etched on his face. Rebecca, her mind racing, thought, *That hunter… what is he doing here? And how did he do that?* She attempted to shift her weight, but the pain in her broken leg sent a fresh wave of agony through her. Tyler, observing her, noted the injury and the man's previous actions. *Her leg's broken, and it looked like that guy was about to assault her,* he thought.The man wiped a trickle of blood from his lip, his eyes narrowed. "Don't just ignore me!" he snarled. "Are you a friend of hers?"Tyler replied, "No, but I just couldn't stand—"The man cut him off. "Then what the fuck do you think you're doing? You should've minded your own business… kid. This had nothing to do with you."Tyler remained calm. "I know," he said, "but I simply can't witness something so repulsive and let it go on." As he spoke, The steel fang
Chapter 68: Shadow Of The Past
The sun dipped towards the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues. Rebecca, bow in hand, moved through the forest, her eyes scanning the undergrowth for any sign of monsters. *I hope that Hunter didn't lie to me…* she thought. *If my plans are going to work, I'm going to need to have a talk with him. He's a hunter, right? Even if we got off on the wrong foot, you can always buy people like him with money.* A smile played on her lips. *Huh, he took all the spoils for himself when we killed the Shadow Walker that time. He's as greedy as I am.*The wind stirred, rustling the leaves and gently swaying the long silver hair that flowed down her back. She turned left, deciding to change course. *I've gone too deep into the forest,* she mused. *But all I've managed to kill is one Brolin, two slimes, and one Hexhorn. Where are all these damn monsters.*Then, a figure emerged from the trees. The person had long black hair tied in a ponytail, wore a black robe, and carried a large, brown dagger
Chapter 67: Blood And Speed
As Tyler walked toward the Crossroads Base exit, he studied the system panel's recipes intently. *Wait,* he thought, *that's the recipe for another dagger, and I think I have all the materials needed to craft it. I'll craft it once I get into the monster zones.*He continued walking, but as soon as he left the base, his pace quickened into a jog, then a run. *I really want to see how fast I can run now,* he mused.His run escalated into a blur of motion. His feet barely touched the ground, a whirlwind of movement propelling him forward. The wind whipped through his hair, and the world around him transformed into a streaking tapestry of colors and sounds. The air rushed past him, carrying the scent of pine and earth. Entering the forest, the trees became a streaking green and brown as he moved with incredible speed, dodging branches and roots with effortless grace. His body was a blur, a phantom flitting through the woods, leaving only a faint echo of his presence behind.Within second
