270 The Senior Hunter and his Blue Beas (2/2)
------
On a vast land illuminated by the starry sky, an enormous beast with blue horns was running in the direction a white railcar was traveling in.
The beast was extremely fast, as it quickly overtook the railcar and eventually left it a huge distance behind.
”Dad, look. It's a Godzilla!” A young girl stared at the enormous beast in bewilderment through the window of the railcar.
”Holy mother of god, it's a demon beast!” The girl's father let out a scream and tugged his daughter into his chest.
Even though the path of the railcar was still within the safe zones, there was no guarantee that it was completely safe from any demon beasts that somehow trespassed into them. Otherwise, how could anyone explain the giant beast that had just appeared?
The scream immediately grabbed the attention of the passengers, who quickly shifted their focus toward the enormous beast outside the window. If they did not know what it was, they would assume it to be a flying mountain instead!
”Everyone, please stay calm. It was only a Contracted Beast. A Senior Hunter is on duty nearby. He's currently investigating the railway!” the conductor on the railcar announced through the speakers.
”So it's a Contracted Beast, that scared the shit out of me.”
”That Summoner is so cool, I saw him standing on the beast's head!”
”That's a Senior Hunter for you, even Commander-level creatures are nothing in their eyes. That blue beast is most likely Commander-level!”
The white railcar was left behind as the blue beast disappeared into the distance. However, the passengers were curious about what had happened that a Senior Hunter had to come just to investigate the railway?

A voice spoke out of nowhere in the middle of the night. ”Senior Hunter, I can't get too close to the target. With the strength it displayed, I won't even last five minutes in the battle.”
The haze nearby slowly cleared up as the moonlight lit up the area slightly. With a closer look, one could see a figure flying in the air!
The figure was around fifty meters above the ground, flying at a steady pace. The strong wings growing out from his back were rather dazzling under the moonlight. Every time they flapped, they would leave a huge gust behind.
”Don't lose sight of it, I'll be right there,” the Senior Hunter responded through the communication device.
”Why do we need to wipe the military's ass after they messed it up… It's leaving the safe zone, should I continue the pursuit?” the man in a leather jacket grumbled with a rather shrill voice.
”I was one of the people in charge of the whole project when I was with the military. However, it's impossible that anyone has survived… It's the biggest problem we encountered,” the Senior Hunter replied.
The winged man sighed. ”Why did you guys even do it in the first place, when you knew it wasn't going to work? Look at this mutated monster that you've created, such a pain in the ass to deal with! Besides, the project isn't really humane, either, since each time it fails it costs the life of a magician!”
”It's still the first magic breakthrough in a long time, the old people will never give up… I can see you!” the Senior Hunter spoke up.
