Chapter 269 Assailant 

Part 1

Treasure Hunters are sensitive to information.

Just like in the past when 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 tried to buy a Relic, information spread instantly among Treasure Hunters.

That 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 which has easily handled numerous events with his divine strategies, is――Building up his strength.

Information was mixed.

Some say that the Clan House attack was the trigger, while others say that even that attack was predicted by 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》.

The only consensus is that the retaliation will be drastic.

Of course, that is against the Empire’s laws.

No matter if you are a High-level Hunter――Or rather, especially because you are a High-level Hunter, you will not be forgiven if you break the law.

However, 《Strange Grief’s (Nageki no Borei)》 notoriety had a track record that would lead people to believe otherwise.

Once they come against you, they will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and never let you go.

Imperial Capital of Zebrudia.

A store quietly existed in a corner of the Abandoned Metropolitan Area, known as a crucible for criminals that simmered in the darkness of the Imperial Capital.

In a ruined mansion that looked as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

At the very back of a half-broken old door and down the stairs of the basement.

The 『Red Link (Red Tavern)』.

It is an existence that can be called the Dark Explorer’s Association that mediates dirty requests and is created to share information with those outsides of the public society.

The store is small, but only those who belong to a large organization or possess first-class ability and are referred by someone are allowed to enter the bar.

Except for the strong-looking manager, there were only a few customers in the restaurant with a few tables placed appropriately.

The appearance, gender, and age of the customers were all different, but they all shared the same ruthless light in their eyes and the hint of violence that had seeped into their bodies.

In a dimly lit corner of the restaurant.

There was a man and a woman around a small table.

A small man with dark hair covering his eyes.

The small man had a depressing atmosphere and the blonde woman had a strong-willed look in her eyes.

Although they are less intimidating compared to the other customers, the very fact that they are present at this location is proof that they are skilled Red Hunters.

【Zero Struggle (Mutou)】 and 【Golden (Konjiki)】 .

They were two assassins who were known for their Aliases and for aiming big games.

The reason why these two, who usually work in other countries, came to Zebrudia was because of a man who has a huge bounty on his head.

It is hard to believe that the bounty was placed on a single Treasure Hunter.

If they can take care of him, they will be able to live happily for the rest of their life.

They would even have the honor of killing the Hunter who outwitted the “Fox (Kitsune)”.

However, those two did not look good in front of this once-in-a-lifetime job.

The blond woman――【Golden (Konjiki)】, an archer with a 100% accuracy, slammed her fist on the table and looked down at the man in an intimidating manner.

“Hey, you, are you saying you are afraid now! We’ve already attacked once, you know!” (Konjiki)

Assassination is an easy job for 【Golden (Konjiki)】.

Even if her opponent is a skilled Treasure Hunter, she did her job without failing once.

There was no problem even if the opponent was clearly more powerful.

Although Mana Material growth is greatly influenced by the will of the Hunter, most Treasure Hunters tend to use the Mana Material they absorb for their attack strength.

While their defenses can be adequately covered by their armor, they cannot stand up against mighty Phantoms unless they increase their offensive power.

There is no one who didn’t die after being pierced through the vital by 【Golden (Konjiki)】, which increases her stealth and offensive power with the Mana Material she absorbed.

And what made the job even more sure to be done was her partner’s 【Zero Struggle (Mutou)】.

He is a man who distrusts people and always lacks self-confidence, but his ability to manipulate explosives and poisons to defeat his targets without a fight is a terrifying feat that is different from simple brute strength.

If 【Golden (Konjiki)】 and 【Zero Struggle (Mutou)】, who have different areas of expertise, team up, there is no opponent they cannot kill.

However, the man who always performs a solid job while shaking and lacking confidence was now completely atrophied.

“I-I-Impossible.

W-We can’t win.

That man is…… A m-monster.” (Mutou)

“It is no new news that he is a monster! He is a Level 8!” (Konjiki)

Normally, assassins do not target Level 8 Hunters.

It is because it is too risky.

A Treasure Hunter’s Certification Level cannot be raised without accumulating achievements.

There are also exams.  Being a Level 8 Hunter is, so to speak, proof that you are one of the most powerful people in the world.

The quantity of Mana Material absorbed, the number of battlefields they live through.

The quantity and quality of their efforts and, above all, their talents are incomparable.

In this world, there are several types of people, such as one-talent specialized types and versatile types, but Level 8 has the power to blow away such differences.

The fact that there are only four people at Level 8 or above in Zebrudia, Hunter’s holy land, also shows how abnormal they are.

And yet, they still decided to go for it.

They weighed the risk, the bounty reward, and the honor they will gain, and decided to take the shot.

【Golden (Konjiki)】 is a hunter1.

After planning and making a move, it is impossible for her to withdraw now.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Fear him! Fear the Infinite Variety!

Even assassins are afraid of Cry and all he did was to pass a bomb to Gark XD

Tchao à plus!
