Chapter 12 - Hunted Hunter
Vasco walk through the forest toward his mission location. Sounds of birds, crickets and beast roars heard by him. He increase his vigilance as he had heard from the academy that some of it's students died because of their own carelessness. Some were killed by a beast, some were killed by poison while the unlucky ones got killed by monsters.
As he arrived at his first location, he look around the area to find Rabbiters. Rabbiters were low tier beasts who look like a rabbit but had big and sharp teeth while having a big feet almost the same size as their own body. They were beast who are easy to kill if you are fast enough in dodging their kicks or bites.
He found one who just came out from its hole and slash the Rabbiters head before it even realize him. He keep searching for more Rabbiters holes to finish his mission while checking the holes incase they had any baby Rabbiters who can be sold for quiet a price as it is used by scientist and alchemist as test subjects.
His first mission was completed as he skin off the Rabbiters hide and cut off their teeth as a prove. He proceeds to take out its core and then clean the hide and teeth with water magic before storing them inside a backpack and put it in his inventory. He clean himself clear of any blood then take out his phone to locate the second mission location.
.....
Meanwhile, near the second mission location. A group of two women were surrounded by three men. It seems that they had fought for a bit as there are signs of damage at the trees and land while the two women seems to be a little bit injured.
"Why are you doing this?" said a women while holding her friend.
"Come on. We just wanted to know you guys but you guys kept refusing us and even attacked us." a man wearing a bandana lick his lips.
"You were the ones who attacked us first!" yelled a women had her feet bleeding from a slash wound.
"Hey! If you guys didn't ignored us then this wouldn't have happen." a man with a scar grinned.
Both of the women got scared as they know what will happen to themselves. They look at each other and sigh as they know it was their fault for not running away the first time they meet the guys. It was common for murders and rapist to linger inside the forest in search of their prey. Many women were raped and murdered while men were murdered for their weapons to be stolen and sold.
"Please. Just leave us alone." the wounded women begged.
The men were laughing out loud until one of the guy who had a goatee said "No can do. We need to get our compensation. You can pay if you want to be released but if you can't then you need to pay with your body. HAHAHAHAHA!"
All of them laugh while glancing at both of the women's body. They didn't expect that their first catch today would be a busty women. They had large breasts and asses that made the rapists drooled while following them. The even can't wait anymore as all of them dreamed of raping them both.
"Sorry Sam. I brought you into this." whisper the wounded women.
"It's okay Haley. We didn't know they were rapists." replied her friend.
"Hey. Hey. Hey. What are you whispering? Come talk to daddy. HAHAHAHAHA" the scar guy laugh.
All three of them were walking towards the women slowly. Sam was preparing her magic to fight to the death while she had told Haley to run away the moment her magic exploded. The rapist was nearing both of them when suddenly, a black figure dash behind the rapists and slash their necks with a katana.
That figure was Vasco who wears a black full face mask and clothes. Before he entered the forest, he had wear the black mask and clothes to avoid other people see his face and recognized him. This was his father teachings that it is better to be careful to avoid his enemies getting revenge if he failed to kill them.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
He managed to slash the goatee guys neck before dodging a fireball. He then dash to the bandana guy and tried to cut his body in half while being bombarded by earth spike from the scar guy. But the bandana guy manage to dodge although his left hand were cut down.
"ARRGHHH!" the bandana man shouted in pain.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!?" yelled the scarred guy.
Vasco stop to look at the rapist and said "Your mom" then laughed while running from the guy wind slash.
"MOTHERFUCKER!"
Scar man kept on launching his wind magic but Vasco was no longer there. He stops and look around him but to no avail. His prey already ran away the moment his group got ambushed.
"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! Ugh! Fuck man let's go." the man swears.
But there was no reply from his friend that he felt weird. He look behind him only to see his bandana friend got stab on his heart from the back while puking blood nonstop.
The dead man fall down to show the black figure behind. Vasco then said "Run. Now its your turn."
The rapist turn around and ran away the moment he heard his killer spoke. His face was pale as he thought "How did this happen?". They were so close in eating their prey but now the became the prey. The hunter become the hunted.
Suddenly his head was spinning and fall down. Before he realized it, he was beheaded. His last thought were "Fuck me".
Vasco swipe his katana to get rid of the blood. He searched all the rapist clothes to loot their belongings which he got money, weapons and a ring. "Scan"
(Ring of Crash)
Magic Penetration +25
Vasco was shocked to see a ring that gave magic penetration.
"To think that I would stumble a ring this precious. They must have been looted from others." but he wears the ring and it was added to his equipment.
A sound came up from the bushes that made Vasco alert but he dropped his guard down when he saw that it was the victims. Both of the women didn't ran away that far but hide near the place as they thought of giving their rescuer some help if needed but they didn't expect their helper didn't even need any help to begin with.
"Thank you sir" said Haley while bowing.
"Thank you so much for saving us." Sam smiled while holding Haley.
