My Demon Hunting System-Chapter 36: The Birth of an Ultimate Warrior

"Hmm...I think it will be better."

While caressing a container, Father Albert said to himself.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of his cabin.

"Hmm?"

"Yes, come in,"

Father Albert responded as he shifted his gaze to the door.

Creak!

The door opened and Galirothoxmus stepped in,

"Father."

He called out.

Abruptly, his face shifted to the translucent green container. He asked,

"What's this, Father?"

A smile formed on Father Albert's face. He shifted his gaze to the container, saying,

"This is the beast that I promised to gift Ary and Erica."

"Oh."

Galirothoxmus reacted, then he stepped toward him, asking out of curiosity.

"Which heavenly beast is this, Father?"

Father Albert closed his eyes, still smiling, and said,

"It's not a heavenly beast, my child."

"Hmm?"

Galirothoxmus was left perplexed after hearing this.

According to his knowledge, warriors were gifted a heavenly beast as a reward for their training. If the container hadn't contained a heavenly beast egg, then which egg did it have?

"What do you mean?"

Galirothoxmus asked, and while shifting his face, he added,

"If it's not the egg of a heavenly beast, then which beast's egg is this?"

The egg inside the container was red with green and yellow stripes around it.

While caressing the container, Father Albert opened his eyes and avowed,

"This is...the egg of a Legendary Beast."

"...?!"

Galirothoxmus was left startled after hearing this.

"A...Legendary Beast...?!"

He repeated in a shocked nasal voice.

"Yes,"

Father Albert confirmed, saying,

"This is as an apology for not being able to save his parents and uncle."

"Ah...I see."

Galirothoxmus responded.

Father Albert looked outside the window beside him, saying,

"I hope they are doing fine with Kashi's training."

"Hmm? Are they under Kashi's supervision?"

Galirothoxmus asked.

"Yeah,"

Father Albert confirmed, and then made a pitiful expression, striving,

"I just hope Kashi did remember to hold back."

***

"Hey..."

Kashi called out in a disappointed voice, then he looked around himself, over the ground, commenting,

"Are you guys...really Warrior race? How could you get defeated that easily?"

Around him were our heroes lying on the ground.

Ary, Mike, and Emily were on the ground.

Luckily, Erica and Mary were healers, so they didn't participate in the combat, yet they even failed to heal them while they were beaten up.

Kashi's expression changed to perplexed. He placed his left fingers on his chin, pondering openly,

"Are you guys that fragile or is that me who forgets to hold back?"

"Second one, Senior."

In a wobbly voice, Mike commented while trying to get up.

"Hmm? Did I forget to hold back?"

Kashi asked while tilting his head.

"Yes, Senior."

Ary replied while getting up after being supported by Erica.

Sigh!

Ary sighed and while sitting on the grass, he commented,

"You took only 2 seconds to defeat all of us. How could we believe that you held back?"

Swoosh!

A green flame surrounded Ary. It was Erica, who was healing her.

While Mary was healing Mike and Emily.

"Hmmm...that's odd."

Kashi said, though he thought that he did hold back. But truthfully, he forgets to hold back.

Sigh!

Kashi sighed, then glanced at Ary, saying,

"Well, come at me now."

He glimpsed that the flame around Ary had disappeared, which indicated that Ary was healed completely.

"Hmph."

Ary responded as he got up, saying,

"Fine then."

Then, he picked up his cutter blade of death from the ground, and while standing in a hanging stance position, he commented,

"Here I come!!"

Then, he darted at Kashi while roaring.

Kashi didn't move from his position but narrowed his gaze to focus on Ary's moment.

"Hiyaaaa!"

Ary launched a slice attack on Kashi.

Kashi dodged it, and within a second, he slammed the bottom of his blade at Ary's back.

"UWAK?!"

While coughing blood, Ary fell to the ground.

Sigh!

Kashi sighed with a disappointed tone, then glanced at Ary, saying,

"Don't be careless. Try to understand the movements of your enemy."

"Y-Yes, Senior."

Ary replied.

Ary's wound was healed when Erica arrived in front of him.

Actually, Kashi told Ary to use his healing ability only when it was absolutely necessary, or else take Erica's help to heal his wounds.

Cough!

Ary coughed again and got up.

"Come!"

Kashi said as he tightened his blade.

Ary glanced at Kashi, pondering,

'Understand his movement...'

Then, he tightened his blade and flashed at Kashi.

This time, he jumped at Kashi and swung his blade, roaring,

"Flame Blade!!!"

And a tremendous amount of fire burst through his blade and darted at Kashi.

Kashi didn't look panicked after seeing that flame; instead, he swung his blade, saying,

"Wind Blade—6th aspect."

Swoosh!

A quick storm appeared around him, causing the fire to extinguish.

"Wha...?!"

Ary reacted, but not before launching another attack, Kashi appeared in front of Ary from the smoke and kicked Ary's belly with his left knee.

"GWAKH?!"

Ary coughed blood again and flew about a mile away, ending up hitting a rock.

"Ary!!"

Erica yelled as she ran toward him.

Mike glimpsed that scene and with a terrified expression, he pondered,

'Is this the training to get stronger or the training to die early?'

Kashi placed his right palm over his face, wondering,

'How is he that fragile?'

SIZZLE! SIZZLE! SIZZLE!

"Hmm?!"

Kashi reacted as he sensed an enormous amount of energy from the left, where Ary had fallen.

He shifted his gaze to his left, saying,

"That energy..."

"Hmm? Ary?"

Erica halted in her path as he glimpsed a red and blue light from inside the smoke.

The smoke disappeared and Ary was seen standing in front of the huge rock.

His body had been scraped and there was some blood around his hands and legs. Yet he was looking down, and his body was covered in blue and red energy.

"Hmph."

After a while of observing, a smile formed on Kashi's face. He mumbled,

"Now, this is an interesting turn of events."

Then, he tightened his blade, saying,

"This is sure going to be fun."

While Ary, who was standing solemnly, opened his eyes.

His eyes were pure white without his purple pupil, and in the next moment, he roared so loudly like a monster that his roar started echoing and emitting shockwaves.

The pages of the book of Almita, in his right arm, started opening at a rapid speed.

"Wh-What?!"

Mike got goosebumps after hearing Ary's roar.

As he roared, the air started turning into a storm and thunder started falling on the ground.

"A-Ary...?!"

Erica was left terrified after seeing her lover screaming like he was not himself anymore.

The blue and red auras around Ary merged, forming a dark purple aura around him.

"...."

Kashi didn't get affected by this change in the atmosphere, but he was just glaring at Ary and was waiting for him to attack first.

Ary stopped roaring as he got completely covered in his purple aura.

"...?!"

Erica, Mike, Emily, and Mary were left panicking for Ary.

On the other hand, Kashi smiled and commented,

"It's finally happening."

"Huh?"

Mike reacted and glanced at Kashi after hearing this.

The aura that was skyrocketing started to become less yet still denser.

Ary was seen inside the purple aura.

His skin became a little fairer, his wounds disappeared, and his hair turned a little spiky.

He opened his eyes slowly.

His eyes were reflecting the same purple color, but this time it was shining like new.

"He did it."

With a smile, Kashi commented.

"Did what?"

Emily asked as her gaze shifted to Kashi, then she again glanced at Ary.

"Ary..."

Erica called out.

Ary raised his gaze and looked at Erica.

He smiled at her then shifted his gaze to Kashi.

Ary opened his right palm and his cutter blade of death appeared in his hand.

While grabbing it tightly and stood on alert, saying,

"Let's start it again, Senior."

"Hmph."

Kashi responded with a nasal voice, then tightened his blade, saying,

"Sure, Ary. Also,"

He added while glaring at Ary,

"Congratulations on becoming one of us, Ultimate Warrior."
