Chapter 3: Sewers(1)

Rueben left the bar and waved Robert a goodbye before he went out of the alleyway which greeted him the sight of a desolate street which only a few people could be seen walking around.

He admired the view of the lonely and desolate city as he knew that there are a lot of families hidden inside the houses of the city, less and less people wanted to be a Hunter and with the number of current Hunters, there would be a time when the monsters and beasts would terrorize this fortress city and kill off the remaining humans left. He and the other Hunters could not let that happen.

He walked the streets, intending to go out of the city to begin his daily hunt when he suddenly heard a blood shrill scream coming from the sewers. He looked down and swiftly found a manhole before opening it and entering inside. "That sounded more like a beast that a human scream. Did those beasts discover the hidden sewer pipe that lead to the river? I'll exterminate the beasts here first before reporting this incident..."

He whispered to not alarm the beasts or whatever is inside the sewers. Thankfully, he brought a flashwork, a device that you can place in your chest and stick it with the pins, once in a dark place, it will light up a few meters infront of you, enabling you to be seen. Of course anyone could see you when it lights up in the dark and your prone to being attacked and it isn't a good device to use if you want to do stealth tasks on your own or a group.

Rueben looked around the sewers, the heavy stinky stench didn't do much to Rueben as he had gone through smell that were worse than this. He took out his cane and made it into sword mode.

There were 4 modes for his cane, the first one being cane mode, he can use it to help him walk as well as a great weapon to use when you want to break someones or something's bones.

Sword mode was used to slice and cut through anything that the sword could cut including but now limited to flesh, monsters, humans and mostly monsters. Whip mode was used to attack in long range which he would only use to either grapple himself into an area he can enter easily or hit someone in an area he can't hit.

The umbrella mode was used as both a shield as well as a shield from rain. He can block most nonheavy attacks done by monsters using the umbrella mode and he could also shield himself from the rain.

An all rounded weapon that could both block, defend and attack at any given moment. Rueben looked at the dark sewers as he heard growling sounds coming from the darkness of the forgotten sewers.

'Maybe I should send some people to clean this place up a bit, with all these stuck ups, the whole city might be drowned in water sooner or later.' He had an idle thought as he continued on.

Just as he stepped, he heard a 'clank' when he stepped on one of the brick floor and he immediately dashed forward before seeing a large sharp blade like weapon come out of the wall from the side of the brick. 'Traps, someone must not want anyone to be here to place such a lethal trap. It didn't give the person a chance to react except for the initial activation of the trap, if not for the sound, I would've been pierced and sliced into half.'

He frowned and started becoming cautious and made his sword mode into cane mode and started tapping the floor, every brick slowly and carefully to which he found 2 traps that were not similar except for its execution, which was the flaw. It would let out a 'clank' sound, giving the person just that chance to act.

"Just as I thought. Many resources are wasted to create these very complex yet effective trap so its numbers must be small." Rueben squinted his eyes and let out a soft sigh before suddenly turning his cane mode into whip mode and lashed towards above.

"Kiiiaggh!!" Something hit the whip and a figure fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Seeing that, Rueben clicked his tongue and took out one of his two beloved modified revolvers, Adam, from the Adam and Eve set pistols. He aimed Adam towards the beast and shot one bullet on its forehead which he immediately followed with a dash towards the beast and turning the whip mode into sword mode and stabbing it through its brain. Which he immediately followed by another stab on its nape and a swift cut that sliced off its head.

Rueben then turned the sword mode into cane mode and took out an Ichor Siphon which could take 50 mL of God's Blood inside the monsters or beast bodies into a tube and this could cleanse anything that could physically hurt the person who uses the Ichor Siphon.

He took out 3 more Ichor Siphon to use as healing properties before taking out oil and burned the carcass to avoid the disease from spreading. Their fight of course must have been heard by the people that was inside deep into the sewers as they sent 3 more beasts of atleast D level.

Also, the Classification are E, D, C, B, A, S with E as the weakest and S as the strongest, there are also stronger beasts or monsters than S level and they are those that can probably destroy the entire continent if not put down. The people who classified these beasts or monsters are the first Hunter, Klein Hielms and The Lady, Marivic Desmond. They were the two most powerful Hunters that are still alive today.

In terms of power level, Rueben would be 7 levels below them which was strong as he could fight against A level with ease and had a small chance at killing S level.

Rueben ducked the incoming paw and stabbed the sword mode into the mouth of the beast before kicking it with is knee and made it bleed from the inside out after stabbing his sword into it multiple times, he left that one to bleed to death and focused on the 2 that were already pouncing towards him, which he immediately dodged by stepping forward and professionally cut their eyes, rendering them unable to see to which he used this chance to put his Caneswordwhipumbrella inside one of the beast and let out the umbrella mode which made that beast bloat up into a fat figure as it bled out from all holes. He then used Adam to shoot the other one in the head and destroyed its brain, rendering it dead.

He wiped the blood off him for a moment before taking out a bottle of oil and gave them a sprinkle that made it easier for him to burn them. After that was done, he coughed because of the smoke and continued his investigation.
