1.51 Statement Chapter 51 The Legendary Ten, that’s the name the world ended up giving the hunters with Legendary Tier classes. I’ll give you a guess on how many there were in total. Go ahead, I bet you won’t get it right. Ten? Wrong! I told you, you wouldn’t get it right. The world put Noah Lenkov among the Legendary Ten, because, as far as they knew, that’s what he was, a Legendary Hunter. But we both know the truth, don’t we? But really, such details don’t matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. What mattered was the symbol of hope they represented. They were the beacon that the masses, civilians and Hunters alike, could look up to. Even if one was branded a psychopath who’d committed mass atrocities. Again, little details. But right then, was the start of the same figures getting together and forming bonds. It all started with some phone calls on some magic amulets. “All of the Legendary Hunters?” I asked. “Looks like it, yeah.” Barry tucked his amulet away into his inventory. “We will need to find a way to get everyone in the same place, so it’s going to take awhile. Every country and continent has Dungeons to worry about.” That was true, the Americas were not “ground-zero” for the apocalypse, the entire planet had things to deal with. That meant figuring out logistics for things like schedules among the most powerful people on Earth, was a nightmare. It also meant that I had time, Azazel had time to be prepared. There was plenty more I needed to get done. Even with Richard assisting me, I had a to-do list a mile long. Recruit Hunters for the fight against an unknown entity. Kill as many monsters as possible and reap all their souls for essence. Profit? Conquer the Universe! Retire on a farm. A mighty list, and exactly the one I was using at this time. I promise. I said I wouldn’t lie to you, didn’t I? Anyway, things were starting to get rocky, even with Gerard out of the way, it looked like Barry, General Nieve and many others were still gunning for Azazel’s head, which is what I wanted. But it wasn’t enough. A true villain needed to make a point, a strong point. “Well, count me in once that gets all figured out,” I said. I picked up the T.V. remote and turned it on, flipping through the channels casually. “Any chance to meet Jeon or Fredricka is something I won’t miss out on.” “Jeon, the Korean hunter?” Huwett suddenly got back into the conversation quickly. “He’s damn cool isn’t he. And being handsome sure helps,” she smiled. “Cool? Because he has stealth stuff, and a sword? I have stealth stuff and a sword, too.” I feigned a protest, exaggerating a bit. “Yeah, but he does it differently,” she waved me off, looking away. “And you’re not nearly as handsome. “ “Oh, that hurts.” My free hand shot to my chest, over my heart. “Angela, you pain me.” “Suuure,” she rolled her eyes. “Not saying you don’t have a certain look. Eight out of ten maybe. Way better than Vasquez.” “Hey!” “Sorry, it is what it is,” she continued. “Maybe just below Francis.” “Below Francis?” I stumbled back as if she had struck me physically, pantomiming a struggle to stay standing. “I’m below the bare-chested meat head,” I muttered, letting the remote clatter free of my hand. Francis laughed from the couch, Norton adding in his deep belly giggle. Even Barry chuckled a little as Huwett smirked at me. “I guess I gotta live with that—” I picked up the remote, and ‘accidentally’ unmuted the T.V. letting the sound blare into the lounge. “— is unknown what is contained in the recording, as this is only the second message the man calling himself ‘Azazel’ has sent to the press. We will be watching it with you all for the first time.” A news anchor spoke clearly into the camera, the still frame of a handsome blonde man in a white suit and sitting in a wooden chair, hung over her shoulder. I had taken care when filming this message for the press as my alter-ego. And now was the time for it to be played, as per my instructions with the video. The news
