Chapter 164: Dominant Beasts

Allen's group left the Soul Burners' camp. They were now back in their room, contemplating the offer that was handed to them by Wesley.

"They want us to become one of them?" Gwen scoffed. "No way in seven hells. Oh, my goodness what is that?"

Stacey walked out of the kitchen and served them their food. It was already time for dinner, and Stacey was the one cooking.

"I made them do errands," Allen said simply. "That was why I was spaced out a lot of times before."

"Mmm," Gwen narrowed her eyes and inspected Allen. "It seems so."

"What now?" Jeremy asked. "Allen, what's our next move?"

Allen sighed and shook his head. "Nothing. They have their separate cause, and we have our own. We have different principles now, different goals."

"What if we'll meet in the middle of it all?" Jeremy asked. "What will happen then?"

"We fight," Allen replied. "That's all we have to do."

A few days came and the group ventured into the forest once more. Their plan should continue even when they had a little break. Words had come from the streets about them, the D rankers with impeccable abilities.

"You're here, finally," Kenneth said. He leaped from a tree and slammed a giany bear on the ground like it was nothing. "Bad news. Remy and Louis were attacked."

"What?!" Allen gasped, his eyes wide in shock. "Are they okay now? What happened?"

"Still unconscious," Kenneth said. The sadness was evident in the man's eyes, he didn't try to hide it. "It's just so hard to lose another one. It's a good thing that we didn't, because if we did, I don't know what to do."

"It's okay," Allen placed his hand on Kenneth's back. "That's okay, Kenneth. They're alright."

"You think?" Kenneth looked up, making Allen nod and smile. "Okay. I'll almost down."

"So, this is the beast we're going to take home?" Gwen asked. "This is quite big, don't you think?

"Just a quarter bit bigger than the gorilla," Kenneth said. "Speaking of, do you still have some of those Silverthorn Gorilla's raw materials?"

"Yes," Allen opened his hands and summoned the bag that contained the gorilla's raw materials. "Here. What are you going to do with it?"

"Let's just say that I have extra materials," Kenneth smiled. He took the bag and looked inside it, taking out the ones he needed. He then took the raw materials and crafted an item. "Here."

Kenneth gave a giant scythe to Allen. "Jungle King Killer. Hit a beast with it and they'll definitely run for their lives."

"What the" Allen trailed off as he watched the giant scythe that was being handed over to him. It was a long scythe with the blade forming a large curved crescent shape. The blade originated from the head down to the end of the pole, making it look like it could also be used as a two-pole weapon.

The overall color of the scythe was green with yellow accent colors on the head and the end of the pole. It had grass-shaped leaved protruding on a lot of its sides except for the pole which was a smooth green surface.

<Jungle King Killer>

Grade: Divine

Damage: 700

Effect/s: (1) Jungle King Killer - Active - When the weapon hits a target, the user shall gain 3% lifesteal for 30 seconds. This can stack up to 30 times.

(2) Passive - When the stacks reaches max, the user shall gain 300% damage, 200% attack speed, and 300% movement speed.

(3) ???

(4) ???

(5) ???

(6) ???

Allen could only marvel at the sight of the weapon. It was an overpowered weapon, that wasn't able question. The active effect alone could easily push him up the ladder of the ranking system they have in Paradise.

The weapon has an overpowered set of effects. It has lifesteal, damage, attack speed, and movement speed all in one. It's not even worth mentioning that this was only two of the effects that was unlocked. Allen could only wonder what the others were.

It was also a Divine grade weapon, which means that this is one of the second highest gradeweapon. Although it wasn't an evolvable type, Allen didn't bother about that. Just the effects alone is enough for him.

"But this is" Allen's trailed off. "This is incredible. How is this even possible?"

"Be careful," Kenneth said. "Although you might get excited because of its effects, you still have to consider the strain on your body. As much as you can, you cannot surpass five stacks."

"Oh," Allen was mildy disappointed. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to get the maximum stacks at the moment, but the fifteen percent lifesteal and the high damage was enough for him. He has other items that he can use, that would not be a huge problem for him.

"So," Kenneth slammed his hands together. "It seems like everyone of you are now being watched by a lot of people. And this is me putting the pressure in your shoulders because you should feel pressured."

"What do you mean?" Allen asked, earning him a scoff from Kenneth.

"What you did in the hospital that included Wesley's brother?" Kenneth crossed his arms together. "Don't pretend that I wouldn't know about that, because I do."

"What about it?" Gwen asked rather sassily. "I just helped the guy, it wasn't really part of our plan to do it."

"Yes, but now that all eyes are on you guys, you need these," Kenneth opened his hands and summoned three more weapons, a bow, a wand, and a spear.

"These weapons should protect you in case something happens," Kenneth said. "Only use them whenever it is inevitable. We can't let just anyone see them."

The three took one weapon each and nodded. They now have Divine grade weapons in their arsenal. Not just one, but four of them, each being taken by a single member of the team.

"Bernard and I crafted those," Kenneth said. "And just like what I told Dante, you should not use all of these weapons to their limit just because you want to use them. Your bodies will strain and it will take you a lot of time to recover."

"Thank you," Gwen said as she raised her wand. "Thank you for this, and I'm sorry because I was sassy earlier."

"Don't worry about it," Kenneth smiled. "Now that you have those, here. You can go back to the camp and feed the WDS. Dennis couldn't make it today."

Allen took the thumb drive and nodded. It was now his turn to drag the giant beast that Kenneth hunted for them. He wasn't sure how a support hunter was able to hunt such a beast easily, but it didn't matter. Kenneth should have a high damage outout compared to the worlds below him, even if his role wasn't meant for damage.

"This beast is quite huge, don't you think?" Allen chuckled. "How did Kenneth get this one?"

"He's a man who can control your speed," Jeremy said. "I bet he restricted this beast's movement and killed it with ease."

"Yeah," Gwen chuckled. "That kid is a person who's not to be messed with. He is still after all a Star Nest Hunter, Paradise Hunters like us couldn't do a thing to him even when he's a support."

"Kenneth is Kenneth," Allen said. "He's"

There were a lot of people in the gate as they watched the group approach the camp. Behind them, a giant boar was being dragged and it didn't look weak, not one bit.

"They're all looking at us," Gwen whispered. "Is this okay?"

"Publicity," Jeremy replied. "This is all for publicity."

When they arrived at the entrance of the camp, the person who greeted them was none other than Bryant. He had his arms crossed and one of his eyebrow quirked up. "Another big catch, huh?"

"Yeah," Allen said and pretended to stretch. Although it wasn't actually pretend since hid body was actually sore from dragging such a huge beast from the forest. "Another catch from lowly D rankers like us. I don't even think we would be able to get anything at this point."

"Are you mocking us?!" Bryant growled. "You think we can't catch something like this?"

"Of course, you can!" Allen said with a smile. He grabbed one of the legs of the boar and proceeded to drag it. "You're A rankers. This kind of job would be basic for you, right?"

Bryant clenched his jaw as he watched the victorious smirk that was playing on Allen's lips. His face was red with anger and his fingers curled into firsts. He looked like it was only a moment later that he would punch Allen's face.

"Basic, huh?" Bryant seethed. "Let's see if this thing is legit. Because you know, we have seen a lot of fake beasts before. There are larger beasts that hunts these types of small ones"

"That's the Giant Boar Gust!" a young voice gasped from the crowd. Oliver walked out and ran towards Allen. "Sir, is this what you caught? I have only seen this in the files, this is one of the most dominant beasts out there. Basically, nothing can kill it!"

And Bryant's anger burned even brighter.
