Chapter 748: 393 The ending is predetermined (4000)_1 Chapter 748: 393 The ending is predetermined (4000)_1 A single punch, only one punch was used!

As agreed before the fight, Casio let Krogg have three moves. And then, at the very instant the third move ended, Casio delivered a counterpunch.

Butcher Krogg lost, overwhelmed by irrefutable, unostentatious strength. A direct and unambiguous defeat, the most devastating kind.

This revealed the vast gap between the two fighters.

At the edge of the dojo, Krogg heavily pressed his right hand onto the hilt of his pitch-dark slaughter knife. A sense of helplessness welled up within him, the realization that he had indeed aged. If he were still at his peak, the outcome would have been uncertain. He hesitated for a moment, suddenly realizing that he had inadvertently equated Casio’s prowess to his own at his prime.

This was a subconscious recognition.

Simply put, Butcher Krogg was wholly convinced by a single punch.

Not far away, a tall figure was walking step by step towards the arena.

With the circular sunlight behind him, the black silhouette of his neck and shoulders appeared more rugged and trong, which further highlighted his sturdy inverted triangle physique. This was the embodiment of perfect body construction.

Including Hebu, all five people watched in surprise.

Hebu had always known that Casio was not weak, this Dark Hunt member concealed potent power. Yet, he had no idea circumstances like today’s would present itself.

He thought, at most, Casio would spar a bit with a reserved Krogg to show some talent and win the appreciation of many veteran hunters.

Unexpectedly, Butcher Krogg, the former first-rank Shadow Hunter, and representative of the neutral older hunters, was defeated by Casio outright.

This greatly surpassed Hebu’s initial expectations.

Meanwhile, Wind Whispering Eileen was still stunned. Watching Casio, who looked like a celestial being, step forward, she muttered in her heart.

The rumors from the Dark Hunt Organization headquarters are becoming increasingly baseless. Fear an assassination from the royal family with a master of Casio’s caliber?

Moreover, this Black Bronze level hunter’s identity left one speechless. Able to face down and break Butcher Krogg’s slaughter knife in a one-on-one sparring match, what else could this be if not the level of a Shadow Hunter? Black Bronze level hunter, White Luminance level hunter, Dark Gold level hunter, Shadow Hunter.

Almost spanning more than half of the hunter levels in the Hunters Association.

Who hides their strength like this? A Shadow Hunter disguised as a Black-Bronze level hunter, just for fishing? Eileen was slightly annoyed, as she too almost ended up being the fish. Changing her train of thought, Eileen remembered what Hebu had earlier said on the stairs and suddenly everything made sense. Hebu had said he could not teach Casio, which was indeed the case.

Even Krogg, the once strongest, could not be Casio’s teacher.

Within the entire Dark Hunt Organization, perhaps only the Holy Light Hunter and the Chief Inspector of Black Mechanism were qualified. As for the other powerful components, at most they were equals.

From under his iron mask, Gem’s expression slowly solidified.

“With such strength now, the seat of Shadow Hunter is certainly his. Even, in five to ten years, he has the hope of becoming a Holy Light Hunter. Twenty years later, occupying the only seat of Chief Inspector of Black Mechanism and commanding the entire Dark Hunt Organization of the empire is not impossible.”

War Blade Kames shared similar opinions, narrowing his right eye slightly.

“Smack.”

Shoes footfall on the ground, Casio stopped before them like a statue.

Butcher Krogg put his slaughter knife away, his expression pale as he approached, “I indeed can’t be your teacher, you’re much stronger than I imagined…”

“A month later, the position of Shadow Hunter will certainly be yours.”

He spoke with certainty, his expression a mix of disappointment and satisfaction. He was satisfied because the young man whom the older hunters support would most likely become a Shadow Hunter. But, of course, he was disappointed too, as no one likes to be defeated by someone younger.

At the moment when Krogg’s expression was complex, Casio suddenly said.

“Did you feel it?”

“What?” Krogg looked slightly bewildered.

He glanced down at the bruise made by the punch on his chest and asked, confused.

“You just just spared some strength? I know that… Huh?”

Realization dawned on Krogg as he abruptly looked down at his heart, where the black liquid that had once been the slaughter knife was quietly pooling.

“The side effects of going all out is gone!?”

Krogg was once a Shadow Hunter, powerful but also carrying massive disasters within his body. During his youth and prime, it wasn’t a problem, but as he aged and weakened, it became harder to suppress these disasters.

Especially when Krogg fought with all his might, the wild beast transformation triggered by the disasters was nearly unbearable. Just now, not only had he fully exhibited the Meteorite Punch, but he also used his most powerful skill from his peak period: the Slaughter Knife. After the battle, his ability to suppress the disasters within him should have dropped to its lowest, even with a strong will, he could not avoid a short period of violent and irritable behavior. But, now, he didn’t feel anything at all.

He felt a quiet calmness in his heart along with a hint of bitterness that came with defeat. The tendency to be covered in black liquid, turning into a metal destroyer, and raging in destruction did not appear. He quickly scanned his body.

“The Disaster accumulated in your body, has it decreased?!”

This was an astoundingly surprising discovery! The Dark Hunt Organization had conducted research on hunters’ beast transformations and wild beast transformations, but no solutions had been found for the root of the problem. They only had some suppressive treatments that did not solve the fundamental issue.
