Best Of The Fifth

Chapter 35 - Icy Thoughts

[Y/N's] POV -

We'd been waiting in my room for a while.

I'd started to pet a Pilot Hare than was running around my bed.

Emily was sat on the bench outside, reading up about Bloodbath Diablos sightings.

I apparently had a few books that mentioned them laying around.

She had Four books...the only one I knew she took was called Ghouls and Alghouls.

Interesting.

Either way...we still hadn't gotten the call from the Field Team Leader.

I get that this is a serious mission...but how serious is it?

A few skilled hunters can take out a Juiced Up Diablos...surely.

I don't really care. If I'm told to hunt something, I'll hunt it.

*KNOCK*

There was a knock at my door.

I got up to open it and called out.

'Who is it?'

A voice replied.

'It's Ant!'

I got to the door and opened it, revealing it was actually Anthony stood there.

He wasn't wearing his Rathian armour anymore though.

'Oh? Mr Daora, please come in.'

'Shut Up. But Thanks. ' He said laughing

'It's nice to see you wearing some fitting armour.'

'Thanks. It's weird wearing Elder Dragon armour but I can get used to it.'

'You got a helmet too?' I asked.

'Yeah. It's in my room. I just wanted to stop by to show off a little.' He said, giving a joking spin.

'Hey Anthony.' Emily said from across the room.

'Hey Emily, you okay?'

'Yeah. I'm Good.' She replied.

It was a little bland from Emily. I think somethings bothering her. She always knew most things about monsters. Maybe she's found something about the Muscle Bound Diablos.

'So. I'm guessing your helping us with the Diablos problem?' I asked.

'Yeah. Getting my revenge on the thing. I think it's You, Me and The Huntsman.' He replied.

'Good. As long as we bring it down.'

'We can treat it like a normal Diablos. Snap the horns and then it'll have no more options to turn to.' He said, cockily.

'Hmm. It's probably a little tougher than that.'

He let out a noise in agreement.

'Yeah. It's harder than that.' Emily said.

I turned around and she was basically right behind us.

'Really? What've you found?' I said.

'How do you know I found something?' She asked.

'I can see it in your face.' I said, Winking at her.

She smiled and looked back at her book.

'These Diablos have a really small survivability percentage. It's said that they won't give a Foe any room. You guys need to be seriously careful.'
