Chapter 509: A Dead End
-----
Since that day, everything changed forcefully for Bernard as he was thrown into the world of the supernatural forever. Since the day he killed the vampire, he broke through being a mere mortal and now he was forced to join this world to survive, as he was going to only be chased by monsters as time went by, and he could risk his family\'s life if he stayed with them any longer.
He left his business and most of his money to his siblings, as he knew they would be able to survive and use it well. He walked away from this place to never return one night, accompanied by a beautiful blonde woman, who had bene waiting for him this entire time.
Hanna welcomed Stein into the Hunters Association and made him an official member, explaining to him that the moment he killed the Vampire, part of the vampire\'s essence fused into his body and strengthened him.
This was what usually happened with supernatural beings killed by weak mana-less beings, their bodies acted as a sponge of all the released essence, absorbing it and using it to strengthen the body and give out powerful magical talent and greater mana pool, although this didn\'t happened after the initial time, because his first kill was a strong Vampire, he naturally leaked a strong presence, leading the werewolf to attack him so he could eat his tasty superhuman body.
Werewolves, much like vampires, were also a pest in Europe, spreading all across the world, they brought a lot of pains in the ass to the Hunters Associations.
Stein was taught many things around the world of supernatural, and he even, through his travels and years of being with her and hunting beasts, learned about Hanna\'s past, her sorrowful life as an orphan who stole food to survive, and how she was once taken by the church\'s special paladins, who saw in her potential for holy light magic. They taught her everything they knew and then let her go into her own personal crusade to slay the evil of the world.
Through their connection and travels, Stein and Hanna grew closer and closer together, and love easily bloomed between the two. But very so often he was shy, he never developed a strong personality to be able to confess his love to the one he loved, and through the life and death battles they went through, he always protected her with everything he had, his strong body developed larger like a hulk, and he was able to easily punch beasts with his giant fists.
His love for her developed more as time went by, and she also coquettishly teased him from time to time. However, as they had to fight so much to survive and clean the evil of the world, they had no time for themselves, something that he would come to regret one day as the two raided a facility where there was said to be a Necromancer inside.
In the way down, they fought through a labyrinth against many Undead, always coming in clutch and recovering using magical potions, until the last area of this dungeon, where they confronted a sick and malicious Necromancer known as Frankenstein!
"You\'ve gotten far, but that\'s as far you\'ll go! You\'re fine specimens, yes…!"
"How many people have you killed?!" roared Hanna.
"Hahaha! As if I were to remember how many loaves of bread I\'ve eaten in my life!"
"You bastard!"
Hanna, who was a righteous woman, couldn\'t help but feel utter hatred against the man, as she joined forces with Stein and the two began to battle it off against the Necromancer\'s deadly chimera zombies, zombies made up of stitched bodies put together, an horrendous practice that only made Hanna even more frustrated.
"GROAR!"
A massive four-armed giant zombie chimera fought against Stein and kept him busy, while another magician zombie threw magic spells at him that his resilient body resisted somehow, but that was in a dire situation, he couldn\'t properly support her.
Nonetheless, Hanna was strong, and reached upon the necromancer as her holy light purified the Undead and slashed them apart.
"I\'ll slain you in the name of god!" she roared, as her holy blade shone the brightest, Stein thought that this was going to be another day of a successful hunt as she defeated the necromancer.
SLASH!
The bright slash of light pierced through the Necromancer\'s body, killing him on the spot!
His entire body was sliced apart, and he fell into pieces!
"GRYYAGH…!"
BOOM!
The magical power exploded everywhere as he died instantly!
"Hahh…!"
"Hanna, you did it!" said Stein, as he quickly reached upon the magician zombie and crushed its head, only to be once more being blocked by the four-armed zombie…
But why? Why were the zombies still fighting without their necromancer?
"Hahh… I did… it- UNGH?!"
SLASH!
Suddenly, from absolutely nowhere, within the darkness of the room, the figure of a knight coated in shadows emerged, his massive spear piercing Hanna\'s chest, and her heart.
Stein\'s eyes were confused, he didn\'t believed what he was seeing.
"Gahahahahaha! Did you really thought you would defeat me? I am a Necromancer! Think a bit harder, nutcrackers! As long as I possess my phylactery, I am immortal!"
"P-Phylactery…?! Ungh… Agh…! S-Stein…"
Hanna suddenly extended her hands to Stein, his face covered in tears as he looked at the woman he could never confess her love to die miserably.
"HANNA!!!"
He roared loudly as his power exploded out of his body, like an aura of pure strength it came out of his very soul with the fierceness of a titan, he punched the four-armed zombie into the ground and destroyed it, and then rushed back to Hanna, to grab her hand. Perhaps there was a still a way to heal her!
"RAAA!"
He roared even louder as he reached the Undeath Knight that had stealthily killed Hanna, his spear surging out of her body as it moved at a speed, he couldn\'t even grasp!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Unngh…?!"
And Stein\'s body was covered in dozens of holes, his head included.
He died.
"Hanna…"
