Chapter 53 Hindsight

Two or three minutes ago

Outside the venue

"Have you figured out why the power suddenly went out in the venue?!"

The giant man said coldly.

"This... I haven't figured out the cause yet. Based on the investigation, it's very likely that the wiring at the main power switch was damaged."

It's not a problem on our end. Perhaps the main power line was accidentally damaged during the battle between the students and the Scaled Banshee...

A man bowed his head respectfully and spoke hesitantly.

Upon hearing his subordinate's reply, the giant man's face darkened.

Looking at the thin moonlight overhead, the giant beast man couldn't help but sigh.

In the dark, aside from special mages like shadow mages who might receive some advantages.

In this environment, ordinary mages would be at a greater disadvantage when facing demons...

This is truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly!

"Hunter King, let's charge in!!"

The students were no match for the demons to begin with, and in this dark environment, they were almost entirely at a disadvantage when facing the demons...

If things continue like this, the situation will only get worse! ..."

At this moment, a member of a city monster-hunting team on the outskirts spoke anxiously.

However, he was interrupted before he could finish speaking!

"No, the number of people being coerced is no longer just a few dozen from the beginning. Do you know how many people have been parasitized?"

If the problem could have been solved by sacrificing just a few dozen people at the beginning...

"If we rush in now, hundreds or even thousands of people could die. Can you take responsibility for that?"

The interrupted man glared angrily at the man who had spoken up to stop him.

"Why not? Doing something is better than just standing here doing nothing and watching!"

"If you hadn't been constantly trying to stop us, and had just stormed in from the beginning, things wouldn't be so complicated now..."

"Easy for you to say. Anyone can talk big, but can you really shoulder and decide the lives of hundreds of people so easily?"

"That's still better than someone like you who just stands by and makes sarcastic remarks!"

"you……"

"Enough!!!"

In an instant, just as the two sides were about to erupt into a fight, the giant beast man spoke up sharply.

Upon hearing the Hunter King's voice, the two, who were about to lose control of their emotions, forced themselves to calm down.

The two arguing men knelt on the ground, waiting for the giant beast man to make his final decision.

The giant man looked at the now-darkened arena, sighed, then turned to his subordinate beside him and asked:

"Is it possible that the main power switch was directly damaged by subordinates controlled by the Scaled Demon Mother?"

Upon hearing the Hunter King's question, the subordinate was about to instinctively shake his head, but after a moment's thought, he changed his answer.

"Under normal circumstances, it's not possible, but I can't guarantee it..."

The fact that the entire building lost power was indeed too much of a coincidence, but it's highly unlikely that the mutated scaly banshee retained any semblance of intelligence.

But his subordinates also knew that the Hunter King had clearly made up his mind and just needed a reason.

"So it's possible, right...?"

"I cannot guarantee that!"

The giant man took a deep breath, looked at the dimly lit building in front of him, and his gaze finally turned resolute.

"Let's do it! I'll take responsibility for any casualties that result..."

"yes!"

No one around them objected, and they quickly broke into smaller groups and rushed inside.

..............................

at the same time

Lingling, who had just chatted with Luo Chen for a bit during her free time, was about to use her communication magic tool to contact the outside world!

The next moment, a loud bang was heard!

Luo Chen and Lingling then saw a large hole in the dome of the entire building.

A colossal beast with cyan iron hooves descended from the night sky, its foot shattering the incredibly sturdy ceiling with a single step.

Countless fragments rained down from the sky as the massive body of the blue iron-hoofed beast crashed down, like a small, fleshy mountain falling from the sky!

Upon landing, the entire stadium shook!

The sight of the giant blue beast stomping down was so visually stunning that Lingling was completely mesmerized.

Even more astonishingly, a man was already standing between the giant horns of this colossal beast.

The beast was disproportionately large to the man, yet it was clear that the man was the beast's master.

His gaze swept across the venue, and as he looked at the blue-and-yellow female demons lying on the ground, writhing in pain, a look of doubt finally appeared in his eyes.

"Charge! Charge in! We absolutely cannot let any demon escape!!"

Not far away, a group of hunter mages in neat uniforms rushed in from the entrance.

"Hey, Lingling, don't worry, we've already gone in to rescue you!"

Just then, Lingling's communication device suddenly connected, and a slightly eerie male voice came from the other end.

"No need, you're too late. We've already taken care of everything, and you're only just arriving..."

Lingling stared speechlessly at the broken dome above the building and spoke to the other side.

"ah?!"

The flamboyant man in the leather jacket stood there, somewhat surprised.

The giant man had clearly heard the voice coming from the communication device and turned his gaze over as well…

It was here that a subordinate found the dead scaly mother demon, dragged the corpse before the giant beast man, and reported to his superior:

"Reporting to the Hunter King, the Scaled Demon Mother was already dead before we entered..."

The giant beast-like man nodded, then turned his gaze to the alluring man in leather standing to the side.

The alluring man instantly felt immense pressure, and then spoke into the communication device:

"Lingling, did you deal with the Scaled Demon Mother?"

"Otherwise, did you solve it?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the alluring man, who had been retorted by Lingling, was clearly embarrassed, but he still asked:

"I just want to ask, did you kill the Scaled Demon Mother and resolve this crisis?"

"Of course! I originally used the communication tool to notify you, but who knew you would suddenly walk in."

Lingling on the other end affirmed.

"However, it's mainly thanks to Luo Chen; I was just pointing the way..."

The alluring man nodded, then respectfully looked at the giant beast man beside him.

"Luo Chen...?!"

The giant beast-like man nodded upon hearing the name in the communication device, as if he had just realized who it was.

He had heard of Luo Chen's name before when he happened to hear that Luo Chen and his two companions had single-handedly dealt with all the vampires' bounty lists.

As the King of Hunters, he held considerable authority within the Hunter Alliance, and naturally understood the true nature of the person behind Luo Chen.

Therefore, he was not surprised to learn that Luo Chen had resolved the crisis.

Originally, as the King of Hunters, he was prepared to be disgraced and suffer the scorn of countless people.

Unexpectedly, it was that successor who had killed the Scaled Demon Mother beforehand.

In that sense, Luo Chen indirectly helped him.

This left the hunter king somewhat speechless, unsure of what to say...

Given that, he felt it would be unreasonable not to give him something extra.
