Requiem Of A Failed Hero



'Shit this is nuts...'

Raith had only heard of the differences in classes part from Mok Jae-Hwa, also from Mok Jun-Seo when he was the chairman of the association. 

From these hearings, however, he was able to deduce that some classes of hunters are considered to be highly rare. They are very rare and hard to come by. Mok Jun-Seo was one of these rare classes. 

Another one of them was Tamers. 

The ability to tame monsters and make them do one's bidding. 

Raith gasped as he realized...Prince Andre had just awakened as a tamer. 

Moreso, he somehow managed to tame one monster right away. Talk about amazing. 

Andre jumped down the gorilla's shoulder as it neared the brothers. 

"At first I didn't get it. But I understand now what was the passion burning inside of me. Sir Curtis! Lord Raven! I think I might have a thing for monsters" He said vibrantly.

Raith was so still contained in his shock that he didn't know how to respond. Curtis, however, let out a soft scoff. 

"As befitting of the prince of Pomeii. I never expected less." 

Andre looked back at the tall frost gorilla. 

"Will it be okay for you to go and play? I will call you when I need you."

Curtis and Raith were yet caught in the maze of another shock.

'I guess it is possible considering that even I can communicate with my soldiers' 

But it was still uncanny to see it happen with real monsters, it made Raith kind of envious. His soldiers were nothing but good old blackies. 

The frost Gorilla, however, sat on the floor like a baby refusing candy. 

"Ah, he doesn't want to go? Says he has no friends" 

He can even understand the gorilla's emotions without it talking?! Raith finally began to get very envious. When his soldiers couldn't talk, he had no way of understanding them. He could only guess based on the way they reacted. This was not cool. 

He sighed. 

'Seriously, am I coveting what belongs to another man right now? I should learn to be content with what I have. Besides, I'm a lot stronger than he is.'

"Brother, I will make a quick trip to Korea and bring the fight back." 

Raith crouched after saying to his brother. He touched the ground and closed his eyes. 

Tingggg! 

The tinkling of a tiny bell echoed into the air. A small magic circle appeared after that and emitted blue light. 

Raith stayed still, his hand on the floor and his eyes closed. 

'Increase the output, this is a mass teleportation 

He didn't need to be extra intelligent to know that he needed to put more power into it to mark a location that was supposed to teleport a large number of people. 

The glowing blue magic circle suddenly began to turn like a will and bring out complicated intricate circles that also began to rotate, giving birth to other circles with byzantine patterns of wheels and ancient engravings of magical runes that would need the greatest of mage to decipher. 

These runes were the systematic composition of every magic formula, their origins as of now, were unknown to Raith, most especially the inhabitants of Earth. But at the very least he could tell they were the composition of the spell he was using. 

Raith opened his eyes to see an intricate interlock of magic circles spreading far and wide feeling over a mile of where they were standing. 

He also could see his cosmic energy draining at a tremendous rate.

His face was dripping with cold sweat. 

'Turns out it takes quite a lot to cast a large-scale magic like this one. She wasn't kidding when she said she could die from using large-scale teleportation magic" 

And this was mere marking, he hadn't even begun to use the teleportation magic itself. 

Raith gasped for air and fell to his back. Gazing into the golden sky. Clouds slowly danced around the new sunlight. The comfort he felt while looking at the sky was rewarding, even though he felt like he had lost his life energy. 

He figured something. He had always lost cosmic energy, always. In fact, sometimes, they would be depleted completely, and yet he had never felt so tired. Which made him think that the problem was not that he was depleting his cosmic energy, the problem was rather that he was depleting the cosmic energy at a tremendous rate. 

"Lord Raven, are you okay?"

Maria asked, tilting her head to the side after bending down towards Raith's head. 

"If you want I can share some of my cosmic energy with you."

Raith was shocked. 

"Cosmic energy? You have cosmic energy?" 

"Of course, I might be young but I am a world tree too." 

'Dang! That was why I could perceive her so well.'

This was the first time Raith was meeting another being with cosmic energy. He had previously been baffled with why he could sense the emotions of a tree so damn well, so this was the reason behind it. She had cosmic energy too.

Raith sat up and faced her, crossing his legs. 

"I don't know anything about cosmic energy, do you know anything about it." 

Maria looked at him, she tilted her head left then again...slowly... t...o the... right...

"You seriously don't know?" 

Her voice came with a hesitant tone. 

"No, I don't."

Raith shook his head, his eyes were bright and full of life, nothing mattered more to him than having this explained. It is one of the occurence of his which he had not been able to explain why it happened to him. 

Maria closed her eyes and stretched her hand forward touching Raith's chest. 

Within his chest a white light began to glow, right beside the white light, a black light also glowed. The lights began to swirl and chase each other resembling the popular yin-yang symbol. 

The speed of the rotation increased and increased and just when it looked like something was about to happen, Maria hurriedly retracted her hand, panting. 

Raith opened his eyes and looked at her. She was sweating and still panting. 

"Maria, are you okay?"

She didn't respond to him and instead continued to breathe heavily with her eyes out of focus. She was clearly looking at Raith but her eyes seemed to be captured in a realm of realization, as if she was putting puzzles that wouldn't fit. 

Her brows creased, now it was as if no matter how much she tried to fit the puzzles into each other, they just wouldn't fit. 

"Lo...rd Raven... what in-n-n the world are you?" 

Raith sheepishly scratched his temple with an embarrassing laugh. That was a weird question for him too.

Besides, his brother and Prince Andre were standing behind him, they were witnesses to all that had just happened. 

He didn't know what she saw for her to ask him such a question but he was willing to put it away for now. Asking now, he felt her answer might be something that would disturb the peace of mind of the duo behind him. 

He stood up dusting the snow off his pants. 

"I should get going. There will be a lot of people in the next ten, maybe twenty minutes."

Maria's scared face suddenly switched to a happy one. She jumped up with her hands in the air, so happy that people would begin to live in a place like this. 

Raith smiled as he watched her. 

"I'll be right back brother." 

He was enveloped by a blue light and vanished into thin air. 

—

China. 

Coming to China made hunters realize that Li Mingwu stood as a pillar far stronger than anyone ever knew. Especially to the Chinese people. 

He was a beacon of hope for everything, his presence kept everything in check, politics, the cooperate world, and even down to criminal rates. Since he was a man who could see everything he wanted to see, everyone lived with the consciousness that he was always looking. 

For the people of China, he was a god. A god they never thought they would lose. 

On a mountain stood a large monument that had his name boldly unscripted on it in Chinese characters. Below the monument were millions of flowers. 

Millions... that's an understatement. The mountain was flooded with white flowers, to the right and left of the narrow stair that was carved out of the center of the mountain, flowers filed everywhere in arrays. 

A small boy stood at the end of the stairs, he was about to begin his journey to the mountain to offer his own condolences but he was dozing.

Behind him stood a tall stern-faced man with a scar across his right eye to his cheek. He was the one holding the lily flower which they were to go and lay on beneath the monument. 

"Lord Kizo" 

The tall guy carefully whispered. He waited a few more seconds before whispering again. 

"Lord Kizo."

Even though he was standing, and had just started dozing, he was already in a deep sleep. 

This was not unusual, at the very least for the man that stood behind him. He was well familiar with how this twelve-year-old looming boy can be.
