Requiem Of A Failed Hero



Inside the limousine, Raith was majestically sitting opposite two people, one of which he was very familiar with, the other was a total stranger to him. Even at that, his eyes did not gaze at the stranger with intense scrutiny, instead, they were on the chairman.

'...I can feel an inexplicable surge of energy from him. To be exact mana... I know it because I have mana perception. Why is there a man that has mana? And to think I have never noticed until now that I have mana perception.'

Raith squinted his eyes at the chairman. But the old man didn't mind.

He started his introductions without further ado.

"This is Hunter Kaiser Kruger. Germany's Catastrophe rank hunter and one of the world's seven."

Raith nodded in an attempt to greet the man.

The man seated opposite Raith, on the supple leather seat that cradled his body also bowed in response to Raith's casual greeting.

Kaiser was donned in a black suit and a red headband that covered his brows and forehead, leaving his spiky hair to challenge run high.

"He has come as a representative of the German hunters association. And they need your help for a gate raid. Of course, they are willing to pay whatever price that you decide on." The association chairman added. He took the smart tablet beside him and forwarded it to Raith.

Raith's eyes stayed glued to the tab as he watched the news feed of the new gate in Germany, apart from the gate's gigantic size, it was also strange because a gate break happened an hour after its emergency. But that was not what caught Raith's attention.

He wasn't in Therut of course when the ant dungeon appeared so there was no way to know.

But he knew very well, the emblem of the most popular guild in Rigeria– and one red humanoid ant that snapped the head of a human faster than anybody except him could see, had this blue rag tied to its head.

Perhaps it was some sort of trophy or entertainment for it.

Raith's eyes widened in unbelief.

'There's no way...' He said inwardly as he played the video backward, although it was a blur but he still could see it. The emblem of Bluezlion guild, led by Pedus Andregant.

The brief remembrance of Therut and what it looked like that faintly passed his mind made him miss home a bit.

Now, he was interested in these ants.

"So, do you want to go?" The chairman asked Raith carefully looking at his expression.

Kaiser was just silent all through.

Raith lifted his face from the screen of the tab to Chairman Mok Jun-Seo.

"The price?" Raith asked, turning his gaze to Kaiser who now began to talk.

"The German government will pay you a hundred million dollars and give you a diplomatic passport along with a five hundred thousand worth apartment in any area of your choosing."

Raith counted the fingers on his left and right hand and looked at Kaiser.

"This last raid, I earned, six hundred million, and that one looks like it will be tougher."

ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm Even Raith said that he did not doubt that he would be able to take care of it, in fact, he is even itching to go there already, after cleaning up his death army and putting them into groups– all he wants to do is just try them out and see how well they fight.

But he was a big lover of money.

"Ah..." Kaiser broke a sweat on his forehead that ran down his temple, '...six hundred million dollars. Shit, I underestimated him.'

"Will you permit me to speak to the association and get back to you?" Kaiser said, carefully with humility adorning all his words.

"It is fine."

"Also, hunter Raven, is it okay if you excuse us... there's something I will like to discuss with Hunter Kaiser." The chairman said.

As he spoke the car stopped and Raith got down.

"Are you okay, stopping here?" The chairman asked with concern.

But Raith truly looked like he didn't mind, he nodded and smiled. It assured the chairman but still made him scared that what if Raith had found it rude?

But in honest opinion, Raith had been meaning to use his newest member of the house as a means of transportation and this just happened to be the perfect time.

The rain had intensified and given everywhere a dark glow. And the attention of everyone was on the fallen hunter, he was sure that no one will catch him, to be particularly, the media.

And as the car drove away, Noir spread out of the darkness beneath his feet as if it was coming out of the ground and as it rose high, it rose with Raith standing on its back– the wyvern pummeled into the sky and took off like a blur of wind.

"What do you think you are doing?" Chairman Mok Jun-Seo was now sitting opposite Kaiser who had let out multiple sighs since Raith left as if all the pent-up tensions in him began to drop off. He sighed one last time and replied to Chairman Mok's question.

"What do you mean what am I doing?"

"A diplomatic passport? A residential house anywhere he chooses?"

"What is wrong with that Chairman Mok Jun-Seo," Kaiser asked, his eyes glinting a soft hue of maroon. Now, that Raith's terrifying presence was not in the picture he had no reason to show humility when he didn't need to.

"I will be honest with you. Your country is planning on stealing Hunter Raven from us is that not it?"

Kaiser let out a villainous thick and vibrating giggle. He leaned forward and placed his chin on his locked hands as he began to talk.

"Honestly, we will try to do that... South Korea does have a history of losing strong hunters to other countries. Is it perhaps because you know not how to take care of your own?"

"Hunter Kaiser..." The chairman's eyes glowed softly with hostility as he coldly called out Kaiser's name.
