Chapter 52: Demonic Fight
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Several hours past sunset. Somewhere in the north-western forest of the Great Forest Of Cykoln.
Footprints mushed into the wet soil that had just experienced some downpour. Marie, still in her maid uniform, walked through the forest. The tracks that could’ve possibly been left by her prey were already washed away by the rain.
But there were still faint traces of astra left behind. It had been a few days, the traces were very thin. Marie followed it carefully, cautious that she might lose the trace.
Before long, she came by a cave with wooden fences placed all around the entrance. What kind of creature could be living there?
Marie shook her head. “Not that it matters.” She lifted her hand up and pointed her palm at the cave. A large amount of energy gathered into her palm and its size was growing by the second.
“By any chance that you’re in there&hell

Yuki closed her eyes and imagined her destination. Once she did, Tina teleported her. Upon casting, Yuki felt a suddenly strong pressure pressing onto her body. In shock, she fell to her knees and coughed. Her hands were shaking.“Did it work?” Yuki slowly opened her eyes and was met by a devastated forest. “What happened?”Just when she asked that, she heard clashes of metal nearby. It was then that she realised what she came here for.“Hang in there, Matthew.” Yuki got up to her feet and rushed over to where the sounds were coming from.Swords clashed with claws at an astonishing speed. Matthew and Marie, the demon, were slashing at each other relentlessly. Both of them had many cuts and wounds all over their bodies. She was actually amazed by the fact that Matthew was able to keep up with the demon.She quickly shook her head. ‘This is

Matthew’s body was weak after taking all the hits. His left arm was clearly broken, he couldn’t even move it. His neck was being held and choked by the demon.Matthew could see her smirk through the small slit of his eyelashes. It pained his heart if it were to end like this. He barely even got to see what this world had to offer. Over the past year, he had spent his time at the academy. He hasn't started his adventure yet.It was a pity.Before he knew it, he was suddenly thrown to the ground. The impact hurt his already aching body even more. He groaned in pain. With his blurry vision, he tried to trace back what Marie was doing.He saw Yuki firing a barrage of arrows at Marie, staggering her with every hit. It was amazing to see her. But it all became grim when Yuki ran out of arrows and almost as soon as she did, Marie stabbed her with her claws.Matthew’s e

Rose slowly lifted her head. Her face was as red as a strawberry. Her heart was racing since the moment she pretended to be asleep, on top of that, Matthew had been staring at her for a while. It made her nervous.She questioned herself. ‘Why did I pretend to sleep?’ She could have just greeted Matthew as soon as he woke up. However the thought of the words she was saying by herself and she did to him earlier made her embarrassed.A few minutes ago…Rose entered the ward after a nurse opened the door for her. She thanked the nurse and the nurse nodded before leaving. Rose watched Matthew who was sleeping on the bed. His arm and head was covered in bandages and his body had many bruises.Rose bit her lips, thinking about how bad his condition was. She walked over the right side of the bed that had a stool beside it and sat on it.She stared at Matthew’s fa

“Alright, you may be discharged as of today,” said the nurse behind the counter as she returned a Hunter tag to its owner.“Thank you,” Matthew said while retrieving his tag. He turned around and walked towards Rose and Cecilia who were waiting by the benches. “Kinda costly I gotta say.” Matthew said.“How are you feeling Matthew?” Cecilia asked in a shy manner.“I’m good. Thanks for worrying about me. Are you okay?” Matthew asked back.Cecilia nodded and shook her head. “I don’t know. I don’t really remember what happened. Last thing I saw was Phillip and me. On a couch in his mansion and then… Nothing.”Matthew felt anger welling up inside him but he quickly suppressed it. He put on a smile. “At least you’re okay now.” Cecilia flushed and looked away.
BLAIR Chapter 57: Volume 2; The Great Sandcastle, Prologue
In a castle in a far away land. The throne room.“Report,” said a figure of shadow that was standing in front of the throne.“Yes. The army under my command is well underway to have the number we require. However, this may still take a few months, maybe even a year. On that note, the demon clan still fights among each other and other races for power supremacy.” A large bulky figure gave its report. Its long tail swayed from side to side while its scales slightly reflected the fire light..“Troublesome but not worth the effort. Next?”A tall slender female figure stepped up. Her wings were folded behind her and her hair was tied back in a ponytail. “That goes the same for my division. They are getting impatient and sometimes end up killing each other. However, I have it under my control.”“That’s good to hear. At least we

“Welcome home, sir and misses!” Bowed the black haired maid upon the Hunters’ arrival. Matthew, Yuki, Cecilia and Rose all looked confused about the behaviour of the maid.Matthew turned to Gustav who was the one that brought them here today with a face saying, “what is the meaning of this?” without actually saying a word.Gustav chuckled seeing the Hunters’ confusion. “Lord Phillip was the single child of the Crane family. He does not have any more relatives aside from the siblings on his mother’s side and no children either. Therefore there was no one who is legal to inherit the possessions of the House. Except for one.” He explained and turned to Cecilia at the end.“Cecilia was already registered by Phillip as his wife, dreadfully. But on the other hand that means that Cecilia is the one and only person that can legally inherit the House of Crane’s pos

Sunlight pierced between the leaves of the canopy of the forest. Mushy sounds popped as feet stepped into the squishy forest floor. The air was humid in the summer heat after a not so recent downpour. Sweat trickled down the necks of the Hunters.“Are we there yet~?” Cecilia asked in a tired manner.“Just a little bit more.” Matthew answered.“That's what you said last time. And the time before that.” She kept on whining.“That’s because it hasn’t even been five minutes between each time. We’re almost there, trust me. I already remember the route.” Matthew kept dredging forwards. Meanwhile Cecilia looked like she was about to stumble over her own foot.As tired as she was, Cecilia pushed herself to keep up with Matthew. ‘Maybe I should do more exercises,’ she thought.A few more min
BLAIR Chapter 60: Graduation Ceremony
“Good afternoon to all of you.” The Grandmaster of the academy started his speech. “I would like to thank you all for coming on this memorable day. As you know, today is when you will officially graduate from the academy and become full time Hunters. I must say that even though the numbers had skyrocketed by more than 40% than the previous years’ candidates. However, that did not stop from…” The Grandmaster’s voice trailed off as Matthew was not really paying attention anymore.Matthew covered his mouth and yawned. It has barely been five minutes and he was already sleepy even though he was just fine a moment ago. His eyes wandered around the vast hall where all the students were gathered to celebrate the graduation of their comrades. Rose was sitting on the girls’ side of the hall, so she was nowhere near Matthew.Matthew stretched his legs and cracked his knuckles to get rid of the sleepines

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

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
