THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
facial wounds

There wasn't much consideration for Captain Drull accepting the request from Zen. This is not just about business or profit from each other.

For Captain Drull, what Zen gave yesterday was more than enough, because he could earn a lot of money to take his daughter to the doctor.

"Alright I'll report about your request." Captain Drull agrees.

At first glance Zen was relieved to both trouble Drull...."Hope this doesn't make a fuss."

"Yes you know, attacking the ant colony is a big thing, and you also know, there is a black ant Queen there, a little hope if the guild master is not surprised." Captain Drull replied with a complicated smile.

"I thought so too, but what is the harm in wishing ?."

Zen saw captain Drull talking to the Receptionist woman at the front desk, it was about the request to meet the guild master. Without a second thought and many reasons, the two of them immediately went up to the second floor.

But not long after, a loud voice sounded from above.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY...!!!."

It came from a guild master of incredible shock, even a Hunter on the lower floor who was still calmly chatting with fellow Hunters or was casually choosing a task sheet. I was surprised to hear his voice crackle.

Afterwards, the guild master calmed down a bit, but not long after, the captain of Drull came back down and walked over to Zen.

"Sorry Zen like your wish didn't materialize, because the guild master wants to talk to you." Said Captain Drull.

"Why ?."

Shaking Drull's head while patting Zen's shoulder..."I've been trying to hide your identity, but he insisted, if he doesn't see the person directly, the guild master won't accept the sale of the corpse of the Ant Queen."

For a moment Zen thought it would be useless if he kept the corpse of the Ant Queen inside a special storage dimension whereas it only became trash without giving any profit.

"Alright, I'll talk to the guild master." Zen had no choice.

"Don't worry, Mr. Houran is not a bad person or anything like that, as long as you can give an excuse, it won't be in trouble." Captain Drull made it a little clear.

Zen was aware that defeating the black ant Queen was something big, but he did not want to trouble himself when it came to the attention of others.

Merely, the guild master wanted to see it head-on, so Zen had to go upstairs and meet with lord Houran.

A little hesitant, but this must be done to make a profit.

Until when Zen walked in, he saw the figure of an old man with a burly body and a scar that was clearly visible on his face.

Guild master named Houran, he was seen sitting straight and slowly standing up as he looked at Zen seriously. Footsteps were slow but heavy when the knock of the shoe was walking on the wooden floor.

"Please sit down." The guild master greeted.

Zen had no choice but to go head-to-head with the guild master... "All right."

Seriously he stared at Zen who was sweating coldly from nervousness, so the guild master asked..."Are you wondering about this wound on my face."

"Not really." Answer Zen.

"This I got while still active as a Hunter member." But he kept talking about the wound on his face.

"When I said no. It's up to you."

Zen could not resist, as he was the host whereas he was only a guest with business affairs.

"What's going on." Zen asked.

"But it doesn't seem like a good time to tell a story."

'If it is not the intention of telling a story do not start a conversation with one day.' somehow Zen felt upset himself.

Houran did not continue the story, he stood up and walked over to look at Zen from the side.

"I heard your name was Zenhan from Drull, but why on your member's card was you addressing yourself as Hanzen, was there a reason ?." The guild master said looking suspicious.

"Is it forbidden ?." Zen was worried that it was against the rules.

"Not really, but some people change their real names under cover because they're involved in some cases and hide their identities to avoid trouble."

Zen was a little nervous because Houran's explanation was completely right with his case right now.

"Actually...."

Houran cut out Zen's explanation..."Yes we also do not make any rules about real names or pseudonyms. So it's not a problem."

'This is a human why....' Zen was a little upset that Houran always spoke but was never clear on his intentions and goals.

Sitting back in front of the chair, Houran still showed a serious expression as if bragging about the wound on his face. But unfortunately Zen had been lazy to respond to the words of the guild master half-and-half.

"Mr Zenhan... Sorry, should I call Hanzen or Zenhan."

"As far as you are, sir." Zen looked resigned and did not want to bother.

"So Mr. Zenhan, I've heard from Drull, if you complete the task on the Ribbon hill by killing the black ant colony, is that true ?." Guild masters were naturally curious.

"If Mr. Houran wants to, I can bring out something that proves it." Zen replied that he was ready to take out the corpse of the Ant Queen.

Houran nodded, and Zen opened a special storage dimension to retrieve the body of the SS-category demon beast queen Ant he had already defeated.

Instantly, Houran's eyes opened wide, he was completely shocked after Zen placed the corpse of the black Ant Queen on the table.

"It's..... Not the usual black ant queen."

"Yes right sir, because this is the queen of evolved black ants and unlocks spiritual intelligence."

Hearing Zen's reply, Houran was once again startled, his legs were as limp and almost fell to the floor.

As a veteran of the platinum badge Hunter, of course Houran realized the difficulty to defeat a category S demonic beast. But never imagined if you have to fight the queen of black ants that have evolved to match the SS category.

The gaze of Houran's eyes was firmly towards Zen...."You must be kidding, the evolved ant queen is too strong, even said to be a disaster if it attacks the city, but how can you defeat it ?."

"It's nothing special, it's just that I'm a little stronger and helped by a friend who's just as strong." Zen smiled to himself.

Houran touched him, he had a lot of experience with demonic beasts, so he knew the skin resilience of the black Ant Queen before his eyes, being far above ordinary black ant demon beasts.

It did not take long Houran turned back the body of the black Ant queen and made sure that it could be proof that Zen had solved the chaos of the ant army in the Ribbon hill.

In an Ant colony, the one absolute force that controls all the ants is the queen. If it can kill him, it can be said to be a victory.
