Hated mate Chapter 49
'It's over.'Lucinda heaved a sigh and looked around her.The signs of the battle were clearly shown on the terrain.Large red puddles covered the ground and corpses filled the environment.The mountain path had been ruined, holes and marks were everywhere on the terrain, normal carriages could not cross that road anymore.'I should first gather all the valuable things and then rest. Even with a rank 2 dantian, I'm almost out of "Breath".'Lucinda went to every corpse on the ground and searched for storage devices or valuable items.The soldiers of the Calhoun's family had no space-rings and their weapons could only be sold for pieces of gold so he simply ignored them.By selling one Obsidian Credit, one could obtain a large amount of gold, that currency had completely lost any value in Lucinda's eyes.The only exceptions in that group were Abel and Samuel from whom Lucinda obtained three space-rings.As for the cultivators recruited by the Royal family, their situations were poor.Mo

On one side, there were the nobles that wanted more power and wanted to dethrone the Elbas family.They tried to probe a reaction from the Royals to understand their line of rule and sent one of the heirs of a large-size noble family for the mission.One the other one, there were the Royals that wanted to maintain control over their subjects.They could not personally attack Samuel's group because doing that would lead to a public uproar but they also wanted to limit the growth of the other noble families.That's why they used the criminals that they were gathering for the creation of a hidden army.In a world where birthright decided most of your future, there was an overabundance of individuals that broke the rules in order to become stronger.Those individuals were under the control of Lady Chen's' branch of the Royal family.Lucinda clearly understood why the Royals needed to create such an army.'There are too many noble families.

Eliminating the unstable parts would reduce the effective power of the item but it made possible for the forging to continue.Lucinda's attention was completely on the internal composition of his creation.Every time she saw signs of instability, she would manipulate that specific part to separate from the core.Little by little, the item in her hands reached the length of a Moon needle.Yet, the forging was not complete.The toxic smoke continued to corrode the bone, forcing Lucinda to cut even more pieces from it.From the size of a needle to the one of a small shard.From a shard to a fingernail.From a fingernail to nothing.The item completely turned into dust, the forging had failed.However, Lucinda was excited.'Finally, it didn't explode! This is the right method to forge with my current materials, I just have to accept that I can't create a complete weapon while I have a rank 3 body.'What she was aiming for with those processes was to gather experience toward what would eve

Lucinda's biggest issue in using the Blood drain spell to boost her body's strength was that she could only use rank 3 magical beasts in the process.Rank 4 creatures gave more nourishment but she simply didn't have the power to fight them.What happened with Abel was a fluke, his physical strength was in the third rank and he was also injured, making him the perfect target for Lucinda's spells.However, magical beasts had a far stronger body than cultivators, Lucinda didn't have the confidence to beat the latter let alone the beasts.'I guess, I'll be forced to strive for quantity over quality.'Lucinda thought.She was inspecting the various boards listing the hunting zones in the Hunter's guild.'They are quite crowded, as expected.'She sighed internally as she inspected the low-danger areas featuring large numbers of rank 3 beasts.'Basically, all the hunters that can't join parties hunting rank 4 creatures are here.'There were a lot of names next to those zones, Lucinda guessed
Hated mate Chapter 53
In the main hall of the Hunter's guild, a dozen cultivators were sitting around Lucinda's.Some of them were shouting and pointing at him, others were angrily drinking from their jugs, it didn't seem that the conversation was peaceful."No, I won't stop. No, I don't care if you can't gain Credits due to my behavior. If you can't match my hunting speed, you should just consider changing your profession. Is this clear enough for you?"Lucinda said calmly.She had sold the magical beasts' corpses and then joined the other hunters on their table.Yet, as soon as the conversation started, she was asked to slow her killing of rank 3 magical beasts.It was obvious that there had been a lot of complaints after her initial refusal for the conversation to reach that point."Impudent! We have families here in the capital! We have maintained ourselves for decades hunting magical beasts! I won't accept that a new hunter, that gained his entry with the help of the Royals, will ruin my job!"Many hu

Recognizing the danger before it was too late was one of the key aspects of survival.Hunters generally relied on reports and on their senses to understand if an area was too dangerous or if a pack had rank 4 magical beasts among them.That's why many of them just ignored the study of traces or weren't adept in that field, the senses of a cultivator were generally enough to recognize beings of such might.Yet, having more information could only be considered an advantage, no matter how small it was."This is indeed surprising, I had to hunt in this area for a month before becoming able to recognize the rank of those beasts by their footprints. The academy is worthy of its fame."Ada praised before continuing with her questions."And, what do you think will it be the best approach against them?"Lucinda's answer came immediately."In their reduced size, they are too dangerous because they can maintain the same strength behind each attack while removing the weakness of their huge frame.

Another wave of attacks crashed on the Shrinking elephant once it was on the ground, when dealing with a rank 4 creature, it was better not to take any chance.The magical beast was laying on the ground, its skin was torn everywhere and its gray flesh sprouted blood on the terrain.Newton and Kurt hit repeatedly its head for a while before they stopped seeing that life was abandoning it."Lucinda, it's safe now!"Kurt shouted seeing that the elephant was about to die.Lucinda didn't hesitate and ran at full speed toward the battlefield.She had come prepared: she was wearing a black robe that featured long and large sleeves that completely hid her hands.That allowed her to perform the Blood drain spell as she ran without being noticed by the others in her group."Turn."Lucinda ordered once he arrived next to Kurt.Snorts could be heard coming from some of the hunters, yet, under Kurt's admonishing gaze, they all turned and left Lucinda alone with the beast.Only when he was sure tha

Lucinda's life became quite engaging. She would still maintain her usual training routine most of the time but, at specific intervals, her presence was requested in Kurt's hunting group to organize and plan their next mission. They would usually hunt twice a month and only in danger zones where they were sure that the number of rank 4 magical beasts was not too high. Lucinda was a burden for them after all, they couldn't risk being ganged up by several strong creatures. That's why their focus was on the lone packs in specific areas, they had to be sure that nothing unexpected could happen. It had to be said though that Lucinda wasn't completely useless. The group of hunters soon discovered that, during the planning phase, her insights on the behavior of the magical beasts were extremely valuable, so much that Ada would often ask for her opinion. There was a time when they had to face two packs of Hellish hounds both led by a rank 4 magical beast. Lucinda suggested for the two s

Peak of the third rank of the body at the age of nineteen and a half!That was an incredible feat!Most of it though was due to the Forging of the Seven Hells in which Lucinda had trained in his childhood.Unorthodox techniques had a faster pace of training but required for the cultivator to undergo risky procedures.The Forging of the Seven Hells had endangered Lucinda's life many times, it was no wonder that he could reach the peak of the third rank at such a young age.'Now, I need to store "Breath" through my whole body.'A lot of energy was required for the reconstruction of the body and, of course, the best source of energy of that world was the marvelous "Breath".Lucinda resumed her cultivation, she had to be sure that her body was filled with "Breath" before she attempted in the reconstruction.One week passed uneventfully, with Lucinda focusing each night concentrating on the Yin body and using the rest of the day to sleep.Rest was necessary during that process, the body ne
