“What is that?” George asked Evan when he saw Evan was holding something in his hand.
“Horned rabbit, I heard they taste great” Evan said while handing the rabbit to George.
“Ya, I also heard they taste great but why are you giving me this?”
“I don’t know how to cook” Evan said while walking back towards James and Dean who were guarding the van and Henry.
‘Do I look like a chef’ George thought while following Evan.
George gave the rabbit to the driver who was in charge of cooking their food. When the driver saw the horned rabbit he was ecstatic because he also never ate the horned rabbit.
Since there were six people the driver made a rabbit stew, when Evan tasted the stew he really wanted to cry from happiness ‘it’s a hundred times no thousand times better than cup noodles’ although it’s a shame after eating cup noodles for two years Evan’s food standards were really low, and he can only compare other food items with the cup noodles.
“I will keep the first watch, you guys can take some rest” Evan said after everyone ate their dinner.
“Alright I will take a shift with you” George said thus Dean and James went back into the van to sleep. The van was quite big and Henry and his driver were also sleeping in the van.
They just made a campfire but did not set up a camp because it is quite dangerous for Henry and his driver to sleep outside in case they have to face a monster attack at night and they were not able to go back in the van at right time.
Because it was night George was having problem seeing clearly, although D-rank hunters have better eyesight than normal humans and can see in the dark somewhat it was still difficult for George to see his surroundings clearly.
The only source of light around them was the campfire that was burning not so far away from their van.
Evan was looking at his surroundings with a bored look. Since he can see in darkness clearly he was not bothered by the darkness.
Evan and George continued to stand guard and paid full attention to their surroundings after four hours Dean and James came out of the van.
“You guys can go now we will stand guard” Dean said while stretching his body.
Evan went into the van and lay down while covering himself in a blanket that he took out from his storage ring.
Evan was quite tired after all the work he did so he fall asleep just after laying down.
“Wake up we are under attack” Evan wasn’t able to sleep for long because just after one hour he fall asleep he heard the shout of Dean.
George also woke up along with Henry and his driver, Evan and George quickly came out from the van.
When Evan came out from the van he did not see any monster nearby “dude why are you shouting I can’t see any monster here”.
“They will be here soon” Dean said with a grave voice, when Evan heard this he remembered how Dean was able to sense the wolves earlier even before they arrived near them.
“How many are there” George asked seriously when he heard the grave voice of Dean.
“I don’t know but there are at least twenty”.
“What” George was shocked when he heard the number of monsters.
“Are you sure?” George asked once again to confirm he heard that right.
Dean didn’t say anything and just look in front of them, others also looked in direction Dean was looking.
Evan don’t know if Dean was able to see in darkness but just as he looked in front of them he saw a horde of monsters running toward them.
The monsters were one hundred meters away from them when Evan noticed them.
When Evan saw the monsters he was taken aback for a moment but then he shook his head and said “don’t worry, all of these monsters are just E rank”.
Dean and others who were looking in front of them seriously were taken aback by Evan’s words, and before they can ask anything the horde of monsters came before them and others were also able to see all monsters were just E rank.
“I almost got a heart attack earlier when you said there were twenty monsters” George said while signing in relief “Let’s take care of them quickly” George said and dashed towards the incoming monster horde with his long sword in his hand.
James also took action and charged toward monsters with his spear that was covered in purple lighting.
Evan and Dean stayed behind to protect the van from any monsters.
George came before a horse who was rushing towards them and swang his long sword at the horse without using mana.
The muscles of George bulged out and like a hot knife passing through the butter, he cut the horse in two parts with a single slash.
‘dam! that sword must be quite expensive’ Evan thought with an envious look when he looked at the long sword of George.
Evan looked at the shabby sword in his hand that he sto_i mean took from the training ground of the academy, and his eyes twitched ‘I will buy a good weapon after earning some money’.
Crackle ~~~
Evan heard the sound of lighting and looked at James who just stabbed a Panda type monster, just as James stabbed the panda with his spear, it released thunder arcs and chared the panda like a cole.
‘is his skill related to thunder or that spear is special’ Evan wondered when he saw the thunder arc around James and his spear.
Suddenly a tiger-like beast jumped above George and came running towards in Evan’s direction.
When Evan saw this he moved forward and with his superior agility, he was able to kill the tiger with a swift motion.
“It’s strange” Evan heard Dean mumbling to himself.
“What is strange?” Evan asked him after killing the tiger.
“I am not sure but I felt like these monsters are running away from someone”
“Why are you saying this?” Evan asked while raising an eyebrow.
“I am working as a hunter for more than five years, but I never saw so many different types of monsters attacking someone in a group, I mean I have fought against a larger monster horde than this but all of those monsters were the same type”
“But here all of these monsters are of different types. There is tiger, horse, bear it is like instead of attacking us they are running away from someone”.
When Evan heard this he also looked at the monster horde seriously and noticed that even though George and Dean were killing monsters no one was attacking them, all monsters were trying to get passed them like they were afraid of something and wanted to run away from here as soon as possible.
Suddenly Dean’s face changed and he said “I can feel two more presences that are coming towards us”.
“You guys stop attacking” Evan quickly shouted towards James and George after hearing what Dean just said “they are running away from someone they are not here to attack us, don’t waste your strength while fighting against them”.
George and James did not understand what Evan was trying to say, but they still stopped attacking and backed away from the monsters.
The monsters did not attack Evan and the others and just run past them like something was chasing them.
“What the hell is going on?” George asked when he saw all monsters were running away from them.
“Two more presences are coming towards us, I am not sure, but if I am not wrong these all monsters are running away from these two presences that are coming towards us” Dean said with a grave voice.
“If all of these E-rank monsters are running away from them they are at least D rank” James who did not speak this entire time said in a serious voice.
‘I just hope they are not C-rank monsters’ Evan thought while getting ready to fight.
