The Abandoned Hunter

Well, he thought about checking that skill because its level wasn't visible, however, he was interrupted.

"Master, His Highness Sebastian would like to meet you...", was what Katherine said after walking up to him.

"Sebas?", now that was confusing.

He had left just a moment ago so it was weird that he was already back.

"Okay, I allow him to meet me...", was what Jay said but Katherine meant something else entirely.

"Master, I guess you failed to understand what I meant...", was what she said right after that.

"Huh?", indeed, he misunderstood.

"His Highness Sebastian wants to meet you near the Blood Lake, outside of the dungeon..."

"He requested for you to arrive as soon as possible.", she said while bowing in front of him.

"Blood Lake?", now that was the cool name of a lake.

It was as if the name itself explained what the lake was about, of course, instead of water, blood would be filled inside.

Regardless, it seemed like Katherine was serious and wanted Jay to depart almost immediately, but something seemed fishy.

If it was that urgent, then Sebas could contact Jay directly through telecommunication, but he didn't.

It's not as if he suspected Katherine, but the doubt spawned automatically when he thought about it.

"Couldn't he have asked me directly?", Jay asked.

"Indeed master, he did try, but it seemed like he failed to contact you for reasons unknown...", was what she said.

'This is getting weird as every second passes...', he thought.

But oh well, he had nothing to worry about.

He was definitely stronger than Katherine and even if she were to betray him, then he could dispose her off with ease, of course, he had the confidence to do that after defeating Makruin.

"Alright, lead the way...", he said in a dominant tone while glaring at her.

"Yes, master...", she replied politely and started to walk.

Needless to say, Jay followed her. Right after they exited the dungeon, she started to fly thanks to her wings.

'Ding'

[ You have used the Wyvern's Wings ]

[ Your... ]

Well, he was able to fly too, of course, thanks to his skill. But that didn't mean that he would fly forever, after all, it cost him quite a bit of MP!

Both flew at almost the same speed, but Jay was a bit bac of Katherine. Of course, that was because she was leading the way.

It seemed like Sebas had gone to the forest in order to search for some materials. He was given a time limit of one hour according to which he might have already found an item or two.

In any case, he soon arrived where Sebas was. Well, he thought that nothing could surprise him anymore, however, after reaching the place, he was baffled.

"..."

"What are doing here...?", he asked this with an awkward expression.

"Haha, I have come to help a fellow hunter!", said the man standing next to Sebas.

"..."

"The Guild Leader saying this doesn't make sense...", Jay said with the same awkward expression.

"Haha! I was just excited to see where you were going and after following you, I found something rather interesting to play around!", he laughed.

Yes, the one who laughed was none other than Jake with whom Jay had been talking a while earlier.

'He followed me?'

'I couldn't even sense him...'

'Damn, just how powerless am I?', Jay asked himself.

He then looked at Sebas and then looked back at Jake and asked, "So messing up with a friend of mine is fun to you?"

Sebas was beaten up badly. Of course, he was standing on both of his feet, but he was beaten up so badly that even his fangs were broken.

"..."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know that they were your friends!", he said with a loud noise as if he was really apologetic.

"Sigh...", Jay decided to let it go perhaps because he could do nothing because he was quite weak when compared to Jake.

'Let's take a peek at his stats again...', Jay thought and asked the system to display it.

'Ya, it's still the same as the one I had seen earlier...'

'Then how about Sebas?', he then took a look at Sebas's profile.

*cough*

All of a sudden he coughed up.

"Master?", Sebas and Katherine looked concerned when they saw him cough suddenly but it was nothing to be worried about.

'Did Sebas just rise a rank?'

'Wasn't he rank S earlier?', he asked himself.

'Incredible, he was able to rise up a rank...', Jay was impressed by that.

"Listen Jay...", just when he was thinking about that, Jake called out to him.

"Ya?", he replied almost immediately.

"Ask him to return, I will lead you to the place, you have to gather the materials by yourself!", Jake said while grinning.

"...", now Jay was annoyed because he was going to get the materials without doing anything.

"Fine...", well, he agreed probably because he thought that Jake had some sort of plan in mind.

"Hmm, alright..."

"Let's go..."

"Ah, wait...", just as he had said go, he created a gate or a portal right in front of Jay then he closed it almost immediately.

"Hmm, your stats aren't proper..."

"Let me change a bit..."

"But first, equip the runes and the weapons..."

"Show me the state in which you are the strongest!", he said.

Now Jay was super confused as to what he was saying but he did exactly what he was asked to do.

"Hmm, as I thought, I do need to change the stats a bit..."

'Again? He said the same thing again!'

'Just what does he mean by that?', he asked himself and found no answer, not until he took a look at his profile again.
