༺ War Chief Assembly (1) ༻

Hatan U-Jul struggled to suppress his headache.

"...I've said it several times, but it didn't just die once and started its resurrection process. It's been confirmed that it was annihilated. Its existence itself can't be detected."

Everyone fell silent.

It was a silence that often followed when people heard something utterly ridiculous; A silence born from the inability of their thought processes to comprehend the current situation.

Even though it was asked repeatedly, someone, unable to hold back, spoke up again.

[...The Unicorn of the Jungle Zone is completely dead?]

"Yes. With certainty."

[And all the other Rulers of the Demonic Zones also suffered harm that is equivalent to annihilation.]

"Yeah."

[And all of this was done by—]

"One man and two hunting parties acting on his orders. If you ask me one more time, I'll take it as a challenge to duel."

As he spoke these words with barely restrained anger, a hush fell over the other War Chiefs.

An emergency assembly of all the War Chiefs wasn't a common occurrence, but if his words were true, it wasn't hard to understand why this meeting was called.

[It's an unprecedented event.]

One of the War Chiefs murmured in a low voice.

It was extremely rare for anyone to kill the Rulers of the Demonic Zones during the long history of the Tribal Alliance, let alone erase their very existence.

Even the achievement of hunting a single Ruler was enough to be recognized as the greatest hunter of their time.

But to have hunted the Rulers from all four Demonic Zones?

[...According to the traditions of the Tribal Alliance, that person must be given a fitting reward.]

"The title of Great Hunter has to obviously be given."

[That's not what I mean, Hatan. You know it as well, don't you?]

The War Chief who spoke sighed before continuing.

[...Given the nature of the Alliance, someone who accomplishes a 'great feat' that has never been recorded in history deserves more than just a title.]

Never fail to reward a meritorious service nor to let a fault go unpunished. Reward and punishment. It was the tradition of the tribes.

For someone who achieved such an incredible feat, it wouldn't be right to just throw a title at them.

Even if that person was an outsider.

As the conversation continued with a heavy undertone, everyone fell silent once again.

"..."

"..."

Though everyone remained quiet, they were likely all thinking the same thing.

This was something that none of them present could achieve.

Even the Chieftain of the Tribal Alliance wouldn't be able to.

So, what reward would be fitting for someone who accomplished such a feat?

[Is it really that big of a deal?]

But, as always, there was someone who, out of personal dislike, would wish to belittle the achievements of even those who accomplished such great feats.
