Chapter 5- The Dark Fang

Ace smiled at her remarks and immediately dashed away with insane speed. She was surprised by his speed and also followed. One could clearly see she was very fast but compared to Ace, it was like comparing a bicycle to a motorbike. Ace turned his head to stare at Tora who was struggling to keep up. " Well not unexpected per say. She has also absorbed a speed based spawn essence as well. Judging by her speed, it was most likely from a silver tier gate spawn. I also know about her having strength based spawn essence. Tsk...Rich bastards" Ace muttered enviously. He slowed down a bit to reduce the pressure on her. This rather made Tora even angrier as she felt that he was looking down on her. " How is he so damn fast. This guy is more than the eye meets" she thought with a solemn look on her face. She had underestimated Ace. " Could it be true about him being a legendary... NO! I'll rather eat shit than accept that" with that she switched to her usual self.

" Before we arrive why don't you tell me a little more about your organization. It won't hurt to know about my future partners." Ace spoke with a smile which infuriated Tora whenever she saw it. " Fine" she sighed and began. The Dark Fang is the spawn hunter agency which protects Emphylla our great country.

In this modern world, five continents existed. Namely Rogland, Dellia, Feina, Grolla and Irin. These were known as the great continents of the world out of respect. Each continent had countries which constructively constituted it's power. Emphylla was ranked 4th strongest country in Feina out of over 30 countries. This indirectly declared the Dark Fang as the fourth most powerful agency in Feina. Hence they were not a force to be trifled with.

In terms of strengths among the continents, Irin was first then Rogland followed by Dellia then Feina with Grolla being last ranked. This was mainly because of a global war which had taken place mainly on Grolla. Despite the ranks, each continent is very strong but the ranks display a difference in strength.

" The Dark Fang was established over 30 years ago. It holds over five million spawn hunters amongst it's ranks. It is the most formidable power in Emphylla." Tora spoke with a tone full of pride.

Not all spawn hunters work for the Dark Fang. Some choose to be lone wolves and just work with the agency.

Though by working for the agency, one receives several many benefits. Hence there were more spawn hunters associated with the agency than lone wolves.

Tora continued to speak for five minutes non stop about their achievements and many other stuff Ace deemed irrelevant. Luckily the goddess of luck was on his side and they arrived at the hut. If he was alone he would have arrived in seconds.

"Home sweet home" Ace laughed slightly as he was about to enter, pack his stuff and say goodbye to this place once and for all. "Won't you come in" Ace smiled as he reached to offer Tora into his lovely home with ' good ' intentions. "Hurry up. Don't keep me waiting" she snorted and looked away from the hut as if she was disgusted by just looking at it.

It wasn't that bad though...relatively.

" What's taking him so long??" Tora frowned as Ace had taken too long for just packing. It had been two hours already. " She wanted to barge in and pull him out by force but the hut both disgusted and freaked her out. Being in the same room as that creep. She was starting to think he was making her wait on purpose as she couldn't bear being there . As she was about to scream his name, he suddenly came out in a casual attire. No longer the old military uniform.

He was wearing black clothing from head to toe with a black cloak. He looked mysterious and dreamy with his wavy black hair and golden eyes. He was truly a very handsome person. He smiled at her and Tora seemed to have had a reaction to it. She stared at him intently as if she was looking at her crush.

"Oh what is this. It seems like you have finally fallen for my charms." Ace laughed gently as he approached Tora who seemed to be in a daze. Instinctively she took out the dark silver blade around her waist and slashed at Ace who barely dodged as he was too close to her. The slash instantly fell five large trees dozens of meters away from them.

" Oh dear" Ace said with a solemn look on his face. He might have gone a bit too far then.

"Don't you try that again or I'll cut your balls off" Tora roared angrily as she threatened Ace with a flushed look on her face. " Fine, fine. Just relax before you kill someone." Ace spoke with a forced smile as he shook his head slowly. " This girl is crazy" he remarked inwardly. "Alright, everything is here. " Ace pointed at a school bag on the right side of his back as he was wearing it with only an arm. His rifle was still placed on his back.

" Why do you always carry that around?" Tora spoke with an interested expression as she pointed at the rifle. She seemed to have calmed down at this point. She always noticed that he always had the rifle where ever he went. Though one could argue it was a normal weapon like everyone carries, she had seen how he behaves with it when alone as she she spied on him from time to time. It seemed more than what meets the eye and she was right. " It's a family item" Ace spoke briefly without revealing anymore. Tora didn't pry and they immediately headed towards the forest with the city being the destination.
