Quest For Three Stones (19)

Zunal;

Fishy things are maddening 

The hunter king was standing straight; there was not a single expression on his face as if he was victim and the hunter who was keeping tip of his sword at his neck was the enemy of both hunter kings. It was Qiao. Qiao was pointing his sword at the neck of the hunter who appeared from behind and Qiao thought that he was trying to sneak attack. It was normal for him to react this way at the thought of ambush and the hunter king who was silent and not pointing his sword in answer was also seceding at the tip of the present situation. 

But the hunter king who was in the illusion that his loved one was about to get killed leapt with the sword. He cannot see and ignore this easily; his daughter was in front of the enemy which has grudges against the hunter king, how he can let his daughter face the cruelty at the hands of his enemy. He was a loving father and aspiring to become Hunter Monarch to save his family from all dangers but what was the use of becoming stronger when the family was no more and got killed in front of his eyes at the hands of his enemies. 

Qiao was waiting for the attack but the hunter did not use the sword a bit which was more confusing for him. If this hunter meant to ambush or sneak attack why he was acting neutral all of sudden? Qiao might have stepped ahead to touch with his hand to confirm whether it was another illusion or it was real hunter? But it was hunting world and the hunters of upper levels have unpredictable weapons to begin with which can result a very different picture all of a sudden. 

The hunter king did not wait to act with the sword instead he commanded his stone to control the situation; the stone kaput a blinding light and Qiao was smashed directly, his sword fell near him and the hunter disappeared next instant. The hunter who was standing silent in return of the pointed sword was amazed that the other illusion did not attack which was looking like a clue. If the shadow had had attacked then he could take it as another illusion but because it was equally stunned so there was a hint for the hunter king. 

Not everyone can understand this hint only those who were rationally struggling to get out of this Phantasm would learn with the time or after making some decisions. So this hunter king got to know that there was another hunter in this phantasm who was equally serene and think before attack just like him. Now he was more than ever curious to meet that shadow illusion. He was sure that if the both find each other and work together then they could get rid the useless deliriums. However it was pity that the next instant the hunter disappeared he could tell that the other hunter faced some real attack but he cannot do anything for him. 

They were separated now and have to wait. Qiao was lost on the other hand; something horrible clashed against him and he fell, the stone could only spawn the first command because the attack was commanded under the phantasm. If it was somewhere else then it must have been impossible for a low level hunter to breath further. The stones gotten from the level six or up were used in attacking as weapons; these stones spawn the commands of the hunters of upper levels and control the situation just like a weapon. 

Qiao shook his head; it was exhausting, whatever thing bust must be villainous, he was forced to think because it gave him sudden bolt which he was not ready for. He was unable to decide what option he should believe. There were two options in his head for this occurrence. First that the hunter who was standing surprisingly silent was able to put a sneak attack without moving his sword or hand which was weird for him. The second option was that there was someone else in the phantasm as for this specific hunter he seemed studying the situation before act. 

The one who attacked overwhelmed by the situation present in front of him was regretting now. He lost both shadow illusion despite the fact that he found it after a long time. He was gritting his teeth because of his nature to act ridiculous and uncompromising, he lost the chance. He shouted his lungs out, "It could have been a chance for me to leave this cursed place if I was not acting foolish again." He was almost pulling his hair with frustration. It had been many days since he got lost in this phantasm and this cursed place was not willing to let him go either. 

Qiao was alone again; taking deep breaths he sat on the ground to check whether he was injured or not. The bastion of the attack was not long lasting still he could feel the force behind it. Though at reaching level five ha has gained much forte and stronghold on his physique and it enhanced his overall appearance along with the normal skills which a hunter possess; in fact two of his skills were better than others and it was a good sign for someone who want it all. 

Qiao cannot bother at the normal achievements and feel contented. He needed all the best to battle with the worst. For him if he was weak then there was no chance to stand in front of the wicked hunter better give his best and become strongest than the stronger hunter king of this world then he could rest assured that the battle would go on equal terms. And everything depends of the last battle with the wicked hunter whether he would be able to kill the hunter and get rid the curse or he would defeat Qiao and then both Qiao and his younger one would meet the ruthless death. 

It was all up to his grit how far he could survive and how strong he could become in the little to no time. After examining he heaved a sigh of relief, the impact was strong nonetheless his present body could withstand it. It was good sign as well as bad; good that his body was able to endure, bad that there were more hunters confined in this phantasm. Being learned he was sure that it would not be any good for them too. 

When he was sitting that it was all illusion and the real hunter might never show; the ground he was sitting currently shook and the buildings started to collapse. The nearest building which was a huge skyscraper was the first one to collapse, large amounts of jam started to fell around him. Qiao was speechless because it was no more illusion, the concrete that fell over his feet almost made him yell out loud. "Bullshit illusion, ah it is damn real" he was running around to avoid the jam in real time now. 

Only this skyscraper was currently collapsing and it when he felt that the jam could bury him alive inside hence he ran to save his life. Keeping going with the thing of illusion was foolish in this situation when he could feel the concrete hitting him but he was shocked how come the buildings suddenly have the sense of reality in them. He was thinking about to search the shadow illusion and this happened. It seemed he cannot search with his own will instead with the will of phantasm. The building was still collapsing and he reached the far end to avoid. 

He was puffing because the fear of losing life was the biggest fear in all terms and it could easily panic anyone much less a guy who was normal citizen just two and a half month ago in the advance world. He was curious as to what happened suddenly and the illusion turned realistic. Soon he saw that many people were crying for help from the broken windows of the building. There were many who almost got crushed inside the jam while running for life. People seemed normal humans not the hunters with weapon hanging at their backs. 

All the screams for help and the scene going in front of him was panicking. For a normal human; it must have become horrible for Qiao and he could have lost the nerves at this sight but because of tempered his nerves by slaughtering number of monsters until now so the bloody sight was bearable for him. Now he was thinking whether to run toward the building and safe few humans whom he could render some help or stay away from the collapsing building? He was at the tether ends what to decide. Qiao was about to freak out what to decide when he saw that the people started jumping from the building.
