BLAIR Chapter 218: The Lone Wolf pt.1
Rain’s POVIn all my time of being a Hunter, I have always been alone. I have worked together with others in my four centuries of Hunting, but it was always brief. I never considered them comrades, let alone friends.I won’t have to worry about others if I move alone, nor will they worry about me. I am strong. I don’t need protection. I don’t need help. And yet I find myself in a difficult position recently.I recall that moment. The moment when I could’ve died had Lady Platinum not interfered. The moment where I could not do anything. The moment when I realised I was weak. The elites among the Scarletts, they were opponents even the Dragon Emperors were wary of. Opponents that even the best Hunters, the Five Colours, could not beat alone.I heard that Sara also faced a Scarlett elite during the battle. She practically lost but was saved by Rin Blair, a Dragon Emperor and a Legendary rank Hunter. Meaning that the Scarlett elites were at least their level. A level that I was never deem
BLAIR Chapter 219: The Lone Wolf pt.2
My fight with the insect king, Noso, had started. Using agility and speed, I kept dodging all of his attacks. He could not even touch me but at the same time, I could not injure him either. As I was slashing and cutting him, I noticed that his shell is slightly lighter in colour now. It was almost silver.Perhaps he’s grown stronger? It didn’t matter though because the method we came up with is going to work no matter what.Noso’s only perk was his defence and strength. His speed, agility, and reflex are very low compared to mine. I’ve been in this line of work for centuries while you were only born a year ago. You are still inexperienced despite having intelligence.I moved out of the small tunnel and into the large nest. It was like an ant colony’s nest with many other chambers connected by tunnels. Each chamber housed different species of insect and even non-insect. This was not possibly natural to see many different species work together.Leaving such thoughts aside, I focused on
BLAIR Chapter 220: Dragon Emperor VS Insect King pt.1
“KHIEEKK!!” On Noso’s command, the entire army of insects charged at the group of three.Seeing them running in, Matthew, Bartolo, and Mala also charged to attack. Matthew was in front, heading straight for his target, Noso. Bartolo and Mala were to fend the other insects off while Matthew dealt with Noso. Only after that will Matthew join them and exterminate the insects.Matthew and Noso met in the middle of everything and their clash began. Matthew threw a powerful punch at Noso that Noso was able to block. This punch was supposed to knock Noso out of the chamber and into another, so that the other insects wouldn’t interrupt them.But that didn’t happen, Noso was able to take the full brunt of Matthew’s attack and only skidded back a bit. As for Matthew, his knuckles were hurting from punching Noso.“You got tougher, huh?” Matthew said to Noso.“My body is much much stronger now.” Noso said with a smile which was shown by his mandibles moving upward.“I will destroy you all the sam
BLAIR Chapter 221: Chimaeras' nature
While their master was dealing with the insect king, Bartolo and Mala were engaged in combat with the entire army of insects that Noso sent. Rain was currently out of the fight for now. Bartolo and Mala were both in their chimaera mode and looked nothing like they usually do.Bartolo had a larger body that was covered in thick white fur. His feet were like a cat’s with huge and sharp claws. He had two right arms but still one left arm that was all muscular. His third arm was scaly while the other arms were also covered in white fur. He had one horn growing from his forehead like a demon’s. And his eyes were black with red irises.Mala was still about her normal size and covered in light blue scales. She was swift and agile while moving and fast on her feet. Her eyes were yellow with black irises and her hair was longer. She had a long tail to help her balance herself while moving fast. She had sharp talons for hands and lizard-like feet.They were both managing somehow to hold back th
BLAIR Chapter 222: Dragon Emperor VS Insect King pt.2
In the lower chamber, Noso was engaged in combat with a very different opponent. The foe he faced was the same person, but the vibe was entirely different. Noso was forced to use his astra in order to fight back against the Dragon Emperor.Noso hadn’t used astra since he killed the last of the insect generals. He didn’t need to. His armour was already too tough for almost anything to break through, so he didn’t bother to use astra to enhance himself further.But now Noso was forced to use astra again to withstand Matthew’s onslaught even though his armour was the toughest it has ever been. It simply showed how powerful Matthew was in his current form. Even with self enhancement, Noso was feeling pain and shock with every punch Matthew threw at him.(What is with his strength? Where is he getting it from? He couldn’t even scratch my body before, but now I can feel cracks forming even with body enhancement. Who is this man, really?)Noso was being pushed back by Matthew’ overwhelming st
BLAIR Chapter 223: Pest Control
Rain, Bartolo, and Mala were currently executing the final phase of their subjugation quest, exterminating the rest of the insects. Meanwhile Matthew was dealing with their king, and they proceeded with their plan without him. Without holding back their strength anymore, they were able to swiftly clear a large number of the insects that kept swarming them.Matthew joined them after about an hour into the process. Perhaps no longer smelling their king’s pheromone, the insects scattered and even started interspecies fights. It made exterminating them much easier.“This nest is so big. We should split up.” Rain suggested.“Sure. I kinda destroyed a huge chunk of it already.” Matthew said.“So that was the explosion from before. I have several questions, but that will be for later. Kill any insects that you can find. As for the eggs and larvae, we’ll use toxins and fire just as planned.”“Roger.”After several instructions were given to each of them, they moved independently to clear out
BLAIR Chapter 224: The Dragoknight
Theraphosa's POVAfter Lord Blair, Gon, and the elf left, I started to clean what was left of my dear lord's chamber. I sorted the collection of equipment and weaponry in the storage room. After that, I grabbed a broom and began sweeping the floor. I had just swept yesterday and made sure everything was clean, but then those people showed up while being followed by the insects.I sighed. There was not much I could do.I suppose I should be thankful that they came. If eventually those insects find this, I don't believe I'll even be alive. That monster of a king was very strong. I couldn't do anything to harm him.Lord Blair was able to crack that insect king open though. As expected of him. That elf was considerably strong as well, I didn't think I could win against him. But even he would be powerless against the insect king.This encounter made me realise that I am strong, but not strong enough. Perhaps spending all my time only cleaning the chamber everyday for the past six centuries
BLAIR Chapter 225: The Dragoknight's Real History
"And so, I came here to carry out my mission. This is the Dragoknight my lord entrusted." Theraphosa handed Matthew the golden gauntlet to him.Matthew was still shocked to hear all this even after listening to Theraphosa's explanation. Why was Matthew chosen and when?:From the spider's explanation, it seems that Arshild personally chose you. How is that possible though?: Draco spoke his mind.(She said that she met Arshild’s consciousness. Maybe he transferred his brain into the thingy. Sort of like an AI.):Hmm, I have a bad feeling about this. But having such a weapon would be helpful:“Nothing to lose I guess.” Matthew reached for the gauntlet and touched the blue crystal on top.The crystal lit up and disappeared in a show of yellow light orbs before reappearing on Matthew’s left forearm. A voice came from it. “Initiating soul connection. Pairing successful. Absorbing mana for full activation. Error. Right hand not detected. Activation cancelled. Notice, creator override initiat

BLAIR Chapter 318: The Family pt.2
At the edge of the pit, it was them. A total of nine of the Scarlett family members.From the right, a woman with long red hair and black and white dress was casting a healing spell on Bilgrae. A male elf in full black armour with a star shaped bang of three red points and two white points and his black hair was split in the middle. A demon with dark violet hair and a pair of horns at the side of her head and wore a jet black skin tight suit which exposed certain parts, Crymillia. In the middle, it was a man with short bright red hair wearing a black and gold robe. Then, a man with black hair in a red and black suit. Another demon with about the same features as Crymillia except that his hair was short and he wore a black cloak over his suit. Then there was a man with spiky red hair in a red robe with a high collar, Crone, the one that Matthew and his friends fought at the Great Sandcastle. Finally, there was the black feathered avian human, Skystorm.Seeing Skystorm in good health, M
BLAIR Chapter 317: The Family pt.1
Confronting Bilgrae now was what he expected to see from a Dragon Emperor.Matthew was now at maximum output of his astra and all of it was condensed in his body. Bright red scales covered his entire body and he grew slightly in size. His muscles became more toned and also increased in size. A pair of horns of a darker tone of red grew out of his forehead that curved to the back of his head. Both of his eyes were glowing golden as his hair was.“Let’s finish this!” Matthew did not delay any further. He couldn’t maintain this form for long so he must finish the fight quickly.Matthew dashed toward Bilgrae who was ready for Matthew. Their fists clashed again and this time, not only was Bilgrae pushed back, he felt pain in his knuckles. Matthew was much stronger than before and far faster too. Utilising his speed, Matthew went for another punch to Bilgrae’s gut.“Oof!” Bilgrae got the air knocked out of him with the first hit.Matthew followed up with a barrage of punches. Bilgrae truly
BLAIR Chapter 316: Test of Strength
After being blown away by Skystorm’s wind, Matthew regained his footing and was met with the big lizardman, Bilgrae Scarlett. Bilgrae had a smirk on his face. Matthew stood up and faced Bilgrae, but his eyes were not on him. Matthew’s eyes fell on Falynx in the far distance.“Are you still concerned about that monster?” Bilgrae asked with his deep voice.Matthew looked at Bilgrae now. “It’s hard to know which one is the monster here.”“Heh, you’re right. All of us are monsters deep inside. It just takes one misstep to turn a person into one. You’ve been there too.”“No I haven’t.”“Maybe not to you. But the whole world saw you as one. Now that monster suddenly turned into an emperor and they suddenly glorified you, while some still hate you of course.”“Hmph.” Matthew huffed.“You’re angry with me, I understand. I purposely did not kill that beast. Out of compassion.”“Don’t lie. You Scarletts don’t know what that means.”Bilgrae wasn’t smiling anymore. “You don’t know how merciful fa
BLAIR Chapter 315: Vampiric Origin
Akame and Skystorm were separated from Matthew and Bilgrae. Akame stood up after being blown away by the powerful gust of wind created by Skystorm. Their eyes met. Both of their irises were bright red and gazed deeply.“I will be your foe, Red Cardinal.” Skystorm said.“What relic will you take? What will you use it for?” Akame asked.“Straight to the questions huh… That’s not any of your business. Why would you care what we take anyway if you’ll die?”“To evaluate whether it’s worth fighting for or not.”“Hmm, a smart choice. If you don't want to fight, then I shant confront you. Sadly, it seems that Lord Dragunov disagrees with you. If he is in the way, then we must remove him. I don’t think that leaves you an option now.”Backing out from this would mean that Matthew will be fighting two people. If they weren’t among the Scarlett Army’s strongest, it probably wouldn’t be hard for him to deal with alone. Both of their foes were really strong and Akame had no expectation of defeating
BLAIR Chapter 314: The Sun God's Temple
After their encounter with Falynx, they reached an agreement to conduct an investigation as they intended. Falynx had flown back to the surface on its own. Matthew and Akame headed to the temple and arrived at the front door.For some reason, even though they were underground, it was as clear as day down here. It was not dark and not too bright either, like a cloudy day.There were stairs that led to the door and the walls in the area were already partially destroyed. Some of the stairs were also gone. The giant door was made of stone and seemed to be intact with little cracks around the hinges.Matthew pushed one of the doors open. It was surprisingly heavy so Matthew had to lean into it to move it. Akame went inside first and inspected the place. There was a stage and a podium carved out of stone at the end of the great hall. A mural was carved out of the wall behind the stage depicting a supposed god holding the sun in his hands.Matthew left the door open and joined Akame to look
BLAIR Chapter 313: The Giant Winged Snake
In the middle of the desert, there were two figures running across the sands. Clouds of sand were left behind in their quick steps. The cloak provided by the minister was really working. No sand was sticking onto them.“We’re getting close.” Matthew informed Akame.Almost two hours have passed since they left the city. Many monsters came their way but they were easily dealt with. It caused a little delay but not enough to affect their momentum. Falynx’s presence was still about 10 kilometres away.“Be ready for battle.” Akame said.“Remember though, don’t kill it.” Matthew reminded her.A few minutes later, a gigantic figure could be seen flying in the sky. The creature had the body of a snake, the head of a crocodile and six pairs of batwings. Its yellow eyes with black vertical slits looked down at the incoming people below.Falynx bowed its head and began descending. Matthew and Akame saw this as an engagement in battle. Matthew called out the Dragoknight to his arms and increased
BLAIR Chapter 312: Mission Briefing
The sun was already high up in the sky in the Capital City of Kubalt. The weather was hot and dry as usual in San Coro. The street around this particular area was not that busy since it was right in front of the Palace of Al-Jauhara. One would occasionally see knights patrolling the area. Akame was waiting under the intense heat of the sun. She had covered herself in a large black cloth to protect herself from the heat. The guards out here only wore light armour compared to the ones inside, probably because their armour would be too hot to wear outside. Not too long after, she finally saw the one she was waiting for. Matthew was jogging toward her. He wore his long sleeved red hooded jacket and an orange shirt under it and a pair of black pants. He also had his usual travelling backpack with him. “Phew, sorry, did you wait long?” “Not too long. Did you not use a teleportation scroll?” Akame asked. “I did, but the closest one was to Yanbue City. Neither Platinum nor Rose were famil
BLAIR Chapter 311: No Rest
“What brings you here, Akame?” Matthew asked.Just a few moments ago, Akame had arrived in front of Platinum’s cave. Someone like who was a Coloured Hunter, passing through the Blackwood Forest and up the cold mountain was not a problem. Or not.Akame was hugging herself to keep warm but it was not helping at all. “Achoo! C-can we talk somewhere warmer?”“Oh, come on in.” Matthew invited her inside.Akame went in and they both made their way to the living room. Matthew didn't think that it was alright to bring her to the others directly. The living room had a fire to keep them warm, so here was enough.“Ah~” Akame warmed herself up by the fire and put her hands out.“So, what are you doing here without equipment to survive on a mountain? Certainly you didn’t come to interview us?” Matthew asked.“Queen Cleopatra sent me. We will investigate the ruin she mentioned together.” Akame said with the same emotionless voice as usual.“Cleopatra? Well, I was gonna head there in a few days anyw
BLAIR Chapter 310: Future Family
Matthew and Rose arrived at the foot of the mountain just by the Blackwood Forest where they dropped off of the carriage while Guinevere headed back to her palace. It was already very late in the afternoon when they got to the forest. Matthew carried Rose's luggage in hands while he also wore his backpack."I can carry my own stuff." Rose said."No, I will carry them for you. Anyway, are you sure you'll be fine?""My magic resistance is quite high. I also know how to disperse mana if it does accumulate inside me. How long exactly is it going to take to get up there again?" Rose looked up at the ledge near the mountain peak where Platinum's abode was."Well, usually only a few hours if you're moving at my usual speed. If we're walking though, a few days at least." Matthew said."But we're not walking, right?" Rose asked."Nope." As Matthew replied, a shadow flew past over them.A jade green dragon circled them as she descended to the ground nearby. Upon landing, the dragon folded its w
