"Hello, guys its good of you to come..."

Red is still writhing in pain and screaming... As for Green he only has bumps on his head but overall he is ok.

Green knew they fuck up...

"Guys, why did you attack us?" Said Green trying to look confused and honest.

Arc looks at him and laughed... "Do I look like an idiot to you? Cut his arm I don't like being lied to." Said Arc with a frosty smile...

Green heard it he panic "no... Wait arhhhhhh..."

"Both of you shut up or ill cut all your limbs and feed it to you both of you.." Said Arc.

Arc has no compassion for these kinds of people he knows exactly what kind of people these two are.

Both Red and Green. Gritted their teeth and almost biting their tongue in order to shut up... Their face is full of sweat and tears even snot.

Arc looks at them in disgust... "Both of you are hideous what are you both anyways?"

Ruby and Jem began to search the two removing their equipment and accessories. Even their clothes leaving only their undies.

Boss here... Ruby and Jem pass the nameplate of the two.

"Red and Green?? Congol Race... Hmmm.."

"Boss these looks like storage devices," said Jem.

This is a regular storage device with a capacity of 10 cubic meters... Ruby and Jem check the storage device and found many items belonging to the two previous victims.

Arc wasn't surprised by it. "Well, whatever these two solves our problem of baits."

"Haha, right boss these two are perfect..." Said Jem.

Red and Green thought they were just bluffing and just scaring them to get information. But the next actions of Arc's group send both of them to hell. Without asking any question Arc turn around and said, "prepare them,"

It was Biggs and Wedge who nodded. First, they dislocated all the remaining limbs of Red and Green then they gag them. Afterward, they carry them about 1 mile away into the territory of Dekoro... Red and Green cant do anything they squirm and squirm but no matter what they do its useless. They were gag, so they can't beg either and besides they knew it's pointless their fate is sealed.

Both have a look of resignation and desperation in their eyes. But Biggs and Wedge act like they saw nothing well, in fact, they simply didn't care...

After putting the two together in a small clearing. Biggs made a small cut into their foreheads and soon blood began to flow.

Red already passes out from the pain but Green remains awake squirming… minutes pass then hours. Soon Arc starting to become bored they have hidden atop the huge tree few hundred meters away waiting for Dekoro to arrive...

Shit luring is not working, maybe i should have sent drones, but because he wants to experience some excitement and real authentic hunt he decided to place a bait instead as a real hunter would do. But after waiting for 2-3 hours those feeling began to change.

Jem who was beside him giggles, "Boss your so inpatient"

As an intelligence specialist, the first thing they drill into the shadow unit is patience waiting, and gathering information is a very long tedious job.

Arc sighs well I am getting a little impatient, haha. After all, this is just our first hunt. When he was about to release some drones he heard something and his excitement immediately shot up.

And true enough the first Dekoro arrives it slowly walks to Green and Red who already exhaust all their strengths in the last few hours...

Looks like this Dekoro travels in packs. Because one after another Dekoro of all sizes arrived... Soon more than ten of Dekoro surrounds Red and Green who are so weak they couldn't even move anymore. Only their eyes display pain, fear and resignation.

Few minutes pass but still, no Dekoro attacked... Arc who was about attack paused... "What are they waiting for" and he didn't have to wait long for an answer. A Dekoro twice as big as the rest arrives.

"An Alpha..." Said Arc. Arc smiles and said. that one is mine the rest is yours...

When the alpha Dekoro appeared it immediately bite the heads of Red and Green killing them instantly and soon every Dekoro pounded on the remaining flesh of Red and Green.

Now is the perfect time to attack...

Without saying anything Arc dash to the Alpha Dekoro, and in pure instinct the Alpha Dekoro immediately transforms like a ball of spikes like a pangolin only its full of spikes and more than four meters big.

Arc using his long sword which is about 2 meters long and as thin as paper easily cuts all the spikes and flesh of Alpha dekoro it howls in pain and its eyes immediately turn red.

It immediately pounces on Arc who predicted the action he jumps back while slashing his sword leaving another cut into Alpha Dekoro. Who ignored the cuts and continues to chase Arc.

But in fairness Arcs, strength is already beyond 2-star even if he fights barehanded he can kill the dekoro with single good place punch to the head... So no matter what the Alpha do he can't touch Arc who was just toying with him.

Few minutes pass and the Alpha Dekoro howls in frustration and exhaustion and Arc who saw that and decided not to torture the poor alpha anymore and cuts its head of killing it instantly... All the Dekoro was already been killed off, and they are just waiting for Arc to stop playing around.

Arc saw that all the dekoro besides the alpha are killed almost instantly their body condition is perfect compare to the alpha who was full of cuts all over its body. Arc can only scratch his head in embarrassment. Faking a cough he said, "alright let us clean up and go to our next hunt"

Jem giggles and the rest have a smile on their faces.

Because to them as long as Arc is happy they are happy too.

The next few hunts are of no surprise Arc using drones to look at his targets didn't have to wait long to kill it.

Two days after, they are down to their last hunt... This is a class A rank beast... The name of the beast is Phantoms the picture looks like a black panther only twice as big and there's a strange black smoke surrounding its body.

According to descriptions the beast Phantoms are not only very fast but the smokes that come from their body can cause hallucinations... And it is also poisonous...

The beast territory is in the far northern part of the continent about 2000 miles away from the trade city of Groma. It may sound far but with the advance transport that Arc bought in the city, it only takes about an hour or so to reach it.

The place is a mostly barren landscape full of petrified trees and volcanic rocks apparently there are several volcanoes in the surrounding area and those are the reasons for the landscapes.. There are only a handful of creatures to chooses to lived here and Phantoms are one of them and also one of the most dangerous fortunately Phantoms hunts alone and didn't travels in packs or groups.

The place is a miners paradise countless mines are estabilised in the area and they are the ones who posted the bounty according to the reports Phantoms normally stay away from human establishments and won't attack unless provoked. But this particular Phantoms is different it hunts workers and anyone who was foolish enough to travel alone.. Not only that the creature is very intelligent and knows when to attack and who to attack.

So Arc decided to separate in a group of two Arc was with Jem, Ruby was with Biggs, and Wedge was with Eve.

The area is wide and vast, so he released a number of drones while forging ahead looking for trails or evidence that would point then in the right direction.

Unbeknownst to Arc, he and Jem are already being stalked by the phantoms who have several scars on its body proof of it success in the hunt. The Alpha is watching Arc and Jem hidden in a distance buried in rocks and stones and only its eyes are exposed.
