Disclaimer: I don't own Danmachi and Bloodborne
It's been days since he got stuck in this damn cave.
The monsters here never seem to stop coming. Constantly appearing from the walls of this place.
Even worse was that none of the beasts held anything he could use, all that remained in their corpses is just a crystal.
Useless for a hunter.
He already ran out of bullets and bloodvials a long time ago.
At least from the murder of these abominations he could gather a simple rule.
Break the crystal, kill the beast.
This is place must really be abandoned, though the hunter as he stabbed his sword into the mouth of a gigantic serpent. Breaking the crystal inside and killing it instantly.
Plucking a mushroom from the ground, he started chewing on it as the hunter walked through what presumed to be an exit from this section of the cavern.
While most might be scared of getting poisoned from consuming anything present in the dungeon, the hunter ignores any of such worries. His adept constitution and old blood flowing through his veins prevents him from getting poisoned easily.
Even if he was, he could always inject himself with the blood present in the beasts here.
"What's that smell? ...The sweet blood, oh, it sings to me. It's enough to make a man sick"
Right as the madman uttered those words, he let out a giant beastly howl. Once a proud hunter keeping fighting to keep his family safe, now a mad beast, craving for blood.
He was granted a quick death, the ex-hunter deserved that at least.
That was not even the end of his torment, for now the hunter had to deal with with the aftermath of the beasts death, in the form of 2 little girls.
He took a deep breath and recollected his thoughts.
Abrasions present everywhere, shallow cut on left arm, stab wound on the back, cracked rib, twisted right knee.
Heavily exhausted, but able to continue.
Body is injured, but blood transfusion from beasts is not necessary.
For now.
He didn't know how much longer he could keep up. While hunts lasted for days on end, there were at least breaks in between through resting in the hunters dream.
Down here however, he barely has time to get a brief respite before fighting off another monster horde.
As he entered a new zone, he noticed the walls of the place is made out of wood, with the entire place filled with gargantuas trees. Somehow having a natural ecosystem despite the obvious lack of sunlight.
Weird, but he's seen worse.
He will never forgot the look on those... things.
It could barely be described as a beast, those revolting heads were terrifying, he did not know how a ball of flesh on a body could survive like this.
His eyes hurt from just looking at them, he barely had enough insight to resist the urge to rip out his eyes.
That wasn't even the worst thing the research hall threw at him.
Suddenly, a giant growling sound reverberated from the forest, snapping him out of his thoughts, he instantly drew his blade, preparing for the worst to happen.
A giant mushroom-like monster immediately burst from the forest, the mushroom monster immediately started swinging from side to side, causing its poisonous spores in the inside of the cap of the mushroom to spread through the air, turning the surroundings to a light purple colour.
Shrugging off its pathetic attempts to poison him, the hunter pulled out a flamesprayer from inside his hunter garb. He proceeded to cut his his left palm with his sword, letting the blood from the wound drip into a small hole where a quicksilver bullet should have been inserted instead.
The weapon immediately roared to life, shooting flames from its bell-like piece. It instantly incinerated the mushroom, its dying screams echoing through the cavern.
So they burn just like the beasts in Yharnam, good.
As he loaded the flamesprayer with more of his blood, he aimed it at one of the trees, scorching it completely, causing the trees surrounding it to catch on fire as well.
In a few moments, the forest was ablaze.
He heard the terrified screams of more monsters nearby.
Loading his flamesprayer once again, he walked towards the desperate cries, screaming for their suffering to end.
He'll gladly provide the end of course.
Tonight, the beast will learn who's truly the predator here.
The only thing heard in the Large Tree Labryinth that day was the crackling of fire.
It was a normal day in Orario.
Or as normal as it could ever be.
Rose Fanett, a recently employed guild staff, is already overwhelmed with the work given to her.
It's only been a week and there's already a multitude of problems I need to settle!
So far, there has been reports of a sharp decrease of monsters present in the middle to lower floors of the dungeon. A party is needed to investigate who, or what is causing this.
A large fire has also been burning the tress from floor 19 to 24, while its common for adventurers to keep the forest in a manageable state. This fire has been steadily burning out the entire forest, forcing the plant monsters there to move upwards to the upper floors. Affecting most of the lower level adventurers.
Such a threat posed to the safety of Orario cannot go unchecked of course.
"So, you manage to find a familia to settle this problem yet?" The booming voice of her boss, Royman Mardeel awoke her from her musing.
"Not yet sir," Rose hastily replied, "none of the current mid-tier adventurers are available to help."
"Hmmm..." Royman pondered for a moment, before replying, "send this two quests to the Astraea familia, they should be getting ready to investigate a suspected Evilus basecamp in Rivira, let them handle this."
"Yes sir!" Rose saluted, pocketing the papers as she prepared to take a quick trip to the Astraea familia's household.
"Next time," Royman chastised, "be aware of each familia's plans, you'll be able to find opportunities for them to do our quests, now get outta you waste more of my time!"
Little did she know that sending this one simple message would bring under her tutelage one of the most interesting adventurer's in her life.
