Another Hunt: Remake

Chapter 9: Two Kids

Well, well. A hunter is it?

+++++

Weeks has passed since he arrived at this continent, Anima, the eastern part of Remnant, The Kingdom of Mistral. Unlike the Kingdom of Vale, the bandits, criminals and the ex-Huntsmen who turns their back against humanity are roams freely in this land. A hunting ground, a perfect place for a Hunter.

Every time he went out to hunt some criminals or ex-Huntsmen he got in the Guild, he always comeback with sack full of heads and bloody clothes.

As his expected, some people puke on their place and also the Guild girl. But, he didn't care about them as he always received his reward.

Thankfully, he had sent a message to Queen Annalise of Cainhurst within a week, so the Little Ones didn't shoot him with a cannon. And he didn't want to remember his memories in the Forbidden Woods or in the Hunter's Nightmare with those executioners. He wondered how her reaction when she received that message.

He had heard some people talking about him. Rumors. As far as he hates to gain fame and how hard he tried to stay away from big cities, there are rumors about him outside the big city. Some say, he is the grim reaper itself who hunt every of his victim with scythe at night, some say he is a protector, a guardian, who protect every villages or settlements he pass by from bandits and Grimm. And some say, he is just a brutal, cold blooded killer.

In some settlement, he heard some parents used him as their stories to behave their children. They told their children if they misbehave that the dark clothing man will kidnapped them from their parents and they will never see the sun again. Now he is the children story of the people in Anima. Great.

Most of the settlement known him as the Hunter, the Bloody Man.

As far as he hate to get famed, he like that title. It perfectly fit for him. However, the rumors about him got worse when the merchants start to spread his rumors when they traveled to other settlements. Now his tall and sinister figure can be recognized in every part of Remnant. Thank you, merchants.

Nathan shook his head.
It is not time to think about that, it is the time to think how to kill those so called Gods. To finish what he started. He stopped at his track. The only person he knew who knows about these Gods are Salem. When he meet her again, he will asks some questions and he sure their talk will be long enough.

Shrugging for himself, he pulled the map from his coat. His next destination are a village called Kuroyuri.

Blood

Every Hunters are attracted to blood, it always lead to their prey...or the victim of beasts. However, the beasts are also attracted to blood. He came as fast as he can to Kuroyuri as soon he smelled blood from it. He was late. When he arrived, the village has already destroyed, with corpse laying on the street, several houses are also collapsed. He could see some limbs between the rubbles.

Shame, he must be came here sooner.

But, the milk has already spilled. There is nothing he can do with it. One of the lessons, the Hunt had taught him. Before he leaved the village, he smelled something. He sniffed around. There was a faint scent in the air. Someone is still alive.

No

Nathan sniffed again. There are two person that still alive.

The Hunter followed the scent, the sound of his boots began to faint as he took another steps upon steps. His eyes caught something moving under a house. Peeking underneath it, he saw two children hugging to each other. Their clothes are dirty but the girl seems more dirtier than the boy. Their eyes wide in fear when they met his dark and crimson eyes.
As he expected.
