Emperor the Crimson Knight

Set took hold of the item and dragged it out of the Nightmare Scorpian. But Set was quickly disappointed.

"What's a rock doing here?" the rock was black in color and was the size of a fist. But Set was even more puzzled as the rock had an intimidating presence and was also constantly consuming natural energy. After a while, he put it in the inventory without anyone watching, and shortly after he pulled out the beast core.

After that, just as he was about to leave, he turned and looked at Hifumi, and the other shivered! But, of course, Set was not the kind of person who would hold a grudge even after he had repeatedly humiliated the person, either directly or indirectly. And so he walked up to him, bowed lightly, and said, "I'm sorry for what I did to you. You may keep the body as a gift of apology." While the body wasn't as valuable as the beast core, the carapace would definitely make a great armor.

Hifumi was reluctant, but seeing a beastlike Set bow to him, his confidence and ego were elevated beyond the sky and nodded to Set acknowledging his apology. Set, of course, wouldn't give two shit what a dick head like Hifumi thought about him, it was just that he had sincerely given him a celestial treasure, and for that, he had to admit his wrongs and apologize.

But just as Set was about to leave, he heard a loud, tragic scream, "AAAAHHHHH!!! He turned to look at the injured and was surprised to see the familiar face. She had pink hair and an awe-inspiring body. Set dug through his memories, but he couldn't figure out why she was so familiar.

The hunting party hurried to her with worried faces. They were even more anxious and worried as they got close. Her skin was as pale as a sheet of paper, her clothes were soaked in sweat, and her belly was coated in black blood. With one glance anyone could tell that she was poisoned.

Everyone was worried about their teammate. She came here as a reinforcement, as a favor to her cousin. Yeah, she and Hifumi were cousins.

"Hold on cousin, you're going to be all right!" said Hifumi, looking at his pale-faced cousin. It was obvious that she wasn't going to make it, and it was all his fault. Set seeing the woman groan and scream in agony, thought to himself, 'This matter doesn't concern me. But it would be a sin to let such a beauty die!' After which he asked, 'System, are you able to neutralize the poison in her bloodstream and help stabilize her condition?'

The system didn't even wait before responding, [Yes, but it would cost you a blood point ...] Set didn't even think twice before agreed with the system. He walked back to the scorpion and took a little of his poison out of the stinger and had the system whip out an antidote.

He walked over to the pink-haired woman and knelt in front of her. The others seeing his action backed away and stood by anxiously. He slowly creased her face feeling her soft, delicate, and lava hot skin. Her skin was so soft you would thin it could be harmed with just a light breeze. He slowly lifted her head, before slowly opening her mouth to give her the antidote.

All looked at her nervously until they saw color return to her pale face. Her cries died, her suffering receded. But just before her conscience faded away, she gazed at her savior and weakly said, "Thank you!"

Set, hearing her words, felt happy that he helped and rested her on the floor before he turned around and walked out of the cave through the exit he had made. But just after he exited the cave, he was given a fright.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!"

Set was shocked to the core! The destruction he caused was not limited to a hundred meters (The author doesn't know math!), it was a thousand meters! Perhaps even more. And in a fan-like structure, there was only destruction. It appeared as if a natural disaster had descended, destroying anything and everything in its path, if a natural disaster had an artistic side, of course.

Set quickly asked the system how much blood point he had gotten and the amount shocked him.

[Blood Storage Point 1,025]

This trip surely had satisfying gains. As he had gained a celestial treasure, a magnificent armor that would defiantly save him blood points in the future. A World-class beast core and a weird rock that seemed powerful yet undeniable useless. After a while of marveling at the distraction he had caused, he immediately summoned the king raven and the safety harness, flying into the distance.

*Five minutes earlier*

The gray-haired man quickly ran into a room, where General Snow was sitting at the desk and hurriedly saluted.

"Greetings to Snow General!"

Snow, suddenly having someone barge in her office, was mad, and just as she was about to scold whoever was there, she was shocked to see a gray-haired man.

"What happened?" asked Snow, thinking the gray-haired man wouldn't act like that without reason. The gray-haired man quickly told her what had happened, and when he was done, he and Snow ran out of the building quickly, heading for a private teleporter. They appeared in the shelter and ran out quickly, the gray-haired man summoned a jade lizard twenty meters long, and Snow summoned a jade wolf three meters tall. They both got on to their jade summons before dashing towards the cave. But as they were returning to the cave, the earth quaked and the roars of destruction sounded.

Although they were a little afraid, they never stopped their journey to the cave. As hey knew how dire the situation was.

After a few minutes, they reached the cave. That only showed the speed of the jade summons, as it had only been ten minutes since they let the office of General Snow. Once they made it into the cave they met up with the hunting party.

Yet they were surprised when they saw what had happened. The Nightmare Scorpion was cut in half and the hunting party was resting, while they occasionally stole a glance at the pink-haired woman who had been in deep sleep. When the hunting party saw the two arrive, they happily welcomed them and told them how they had been rescued by a super expert.

From the description provided by the group, the man was at most seventeen, and he was already a Sky, possibly even an Emperor's class hunter. Hearing this, they couldn't help but gasp in shock! The Hunter was seventeen and yet he reached the Sky realm?! If news of this got out, people would probably just laugh at how obscenely crazy it sounded. As such a talent has never been seen nor heard of before. Such talent was really too heaven-defying! After a while, they carried the pink-haired woman and left the cave which Set had created.

But when they reached the surface, they were gasping for air from the utter devastation they had witnessed. At first, they thought Set was extremely strong, but now he was a bonafide monster! Snow was the most shocked and fascinated man. The destruction caused was simply unimaginable. After a while of contemplation, she pulled out an image of a red-haired individual with a crimson face mask. Seeing the man the hunting party verified the identity of the man as the terrifying Sky hunter they had encountered.

After a while of debate, Snow and the other agreed to go back to the shelter, with fire burning in their hearts. They were all motivated to attain such incredible power! Even Hifumi was motivated, at first, he had thought Set was just a mere pebble he could toss around as he wished, but seeing him now he was embarrassed to think of what he had though Snow and the gray-haired man summoned their jade summons, and they were ready to set off after loading up all the passengers. But just before they left, Snow gave a last look at the devastation caused by the Crimson Knight, and let out a self-smoking chuckle.

Although she wasn't like those arrogant pricks that are entitled and think highly of themselves. She did feel proud of the power she had attained. But seeing the destruction caused by a Sky hunter ten to five years younger than her, she couldn't help but shake her head at how ignorant she was.

"There is still a long way to go in this venture to obtain power!"
