Chapter 307 Facing A Hunter (2/2)
”I killed hi with shock
When Arran looked over, he saw that she was standing next to the real recruit's body, a look of shock on her face and a blood-covered sword in her hands
”Well done,” Arran said His attention had been fully focused on his own battle, and even if he'd wanted to, he couldn't have protected Negin But froh job of that herself
”But…” Negin stared at the dead man in front of her, eyes wide in disbelief ”He's dead”
”A severed head will do that,” Arran said flatly ”Now take a look at this one”
He moved to his defeated opponent's body — the part that held the head, at least — and re his face
He was a plain-looking man with dark hair who looked to be in his late twenties, thoug, even in death, his face held an agelessness that suggested his real age ell beyond that
As soon as she saw Arran's dead opponent, Negin's shocked expression turned to pale-faced astonishh she didn't finish the sentence
”Someone you know?” Arran asked
”He's one of the teachers at er” She turned her eyes to Arran, then repeated, ”You killed a Ranger”
Arran nodded thoughtfully He'd wondered for so real Hunters were, and it seeh one that was less than encouraging
Although he had defeated his opponent, the htly weaker than Arran hiainst two such enemies — or more — Arran knew he'd face serious difficulty
”Will anyone notice he's gone?” he asked He'd had a taste of the Hunters' abilities, and he had no interest inthe battlefield
Negin shook her head ”He's not supposed to be here He isn't with any of the groups I don't knohy he—”
She stopped mid-sentence, and her shocked expression turned to one of outrage ”That treacherous bastard!” she cried out, her voice now treave her a puzzled glance ”What is it?”
”That bastard!” she repeated ”He calanced at the recruit she'd killed, both hate and disgust in her eyes
At this, Arran couldn't help but feel so outside help is frowned upon?”
She shot hilare ”That's different!” she said ”I didn't plan onyou And this bastard—” she kicked the recruit's dead body ”—didn't need any help in the first place He's as pure-blooded as any Darian, with all the support he ever needed to grow strong”
”Not strong enough to defeat you,” Arran said ”Seems to me that he needed help in's voice trailed off as she looked at Arran in surprise Then, a hint of joy flashed across her face ”I defeated him, didn't I?”
”You're the one who still has a head,” Arran replied ”So I'd say that makes you the winner But you can celebrate another time Let's search these two before we bury them”
As expected, the two dead Hunters had plenty of pills — easily twice as er had several other pills than the ones that granted resistance to in excitedly explained should help with Body Refineirl take half the pills While he took several to study later, he didn't have much other use for them — he certainly wouldn't take any of the Hunters' pills until he was completely sure of how they worked and what they did
After they had buried their enein
”We have all the pills we need now,” he said ”So let's waste no ht for the battlefield”
Negin nodded, the excite an enemy still clear in her eyes ”With this many pills,” she said, ”ill definitely find weapons for both of us”
