## Biography

### Crimson and First Hunt Arc

Michael and his crew were protecting the civilians of a countryside village from dragons but their hopes of success got shattered when a superior dragon emerged from the underground and ate in one fell swoop all the civilians grouped earlier by the hunters. Michael surrendered himself after realizing they could do nothing against such dragon but Ragna saved Micheal at the last second. Michael confused by the new arrived asked him who he was and Ragna introduced himself as a Dragon Hunter. The few hunters still fighting were unable to pierce the thick armor of the superior dragon with their silver weapons but Ragna with a single sword created by his silver aura severed a section of the centipede dragon and with the following barrage of swords killed him easily.

In the aftermath of the fight only two kids survived the civilian slaughter. Crimson introduced Ragna to the group of hunters as "Ragna the Reaper" who already slayed several superior dragons and then introduced himself as his companion mage. Michael thanked the duo for their help but in distressed manner questioned why they couldn't come earlier but he quickly ask forgiveness for his manners as he was still grateful for them. He made a request to the duo, to slay a dragon only they could do. Michael narrated that a few days before, Tortiere, a city in the eastern border, was attacked and annihilated by something which blocked out the rising sunlight and the whole sky. Crimson explained that it was a tornado created by the Winged Bloodline 3rd rank dragon: Disaster Thrower. Ragna decided to hunt him immediately but he got pushed down by Crismon and became unable to move, to the worry of the hunters Crimson explained them he was injured from the previous fight, even though it was only muscle fatigue in truth, and the hunters insisted to help them in any manner. Crimson, suspicious, asked them why they were so insistent and quickly realized they were feeling guilty for escaping the tornado with no second though and leaving all the other people behind to die but he wasn't giving them any fault as that is the only way to survive to Disaster Thrower's tornadoes. Michael in tears admitted all Crimson's hypothesis were true and they were ashamed to be dragon hunters but being unable to do something. Micheal, after seeing Ragna's sword, come to the realization that Crimson was aiming to: the power they were missing could be granted to them. The sword guaranteed them to be able to hunt a superior dragon but it didn't guarantee them to survive, they accepted it anyway as they were dragon hunters.

In the coming morning Crimson used his proclaimed magic to open a door to a spatial storage where there were stored several guns from another more advanced era and gave them to the hunters remarking the important key item are the bullets. For the following 3 days the hunters trained in the use of the weapons while Crimson used Ragna's aura to enhance the bullets. When the day came, the hunters were trained and equipped with guns and armor, they used a truck to reach the Tempest Cell Dragon and Crimson baited the dragon to follow them.

Michael and his crew were scared after seeing the tornado following them again but they strengthened their resolve. Michael shoot to the tornado with the heavy machine gun mounted on the truck and used silver bullets which to him and all other hunters seemingly freezed portions of the tornado but the truth was the silver freezed the magic infused in the tornado. After Crimson ordered the hunters in the back of the truck to shoot with their handguns. They were equipped with silver bullets enhanced by Ragna's silver aura which resulted in the freezing of whole portions of the tornado. This hits enraged the superior dragon as he felt his magic weakening and decided to speed up the tornado to crush the truck as fast as possible. The truck went under a bridge and when the tornado followed them, the moment it touched the bridge it freezed completely leaving the dragon confused and falling from the sky. It was all Crimson's plan as the whole bridge was enhanced directly by Ragna's aura.

The falling dragon was grabbed by Slime and thrown towards an enormous pike kept standing by the remaining hunters full armored, the pike pierced the dragon's heart which disrupted his magic circulation and with the sun rising he started burning up. In a desperate move the dragon sliced the ground to tilt it and scatter the hunters, the dragon now freed by the hunters' grip tried to remove the pike from his body but he got hit by the truck, the previous hunters descended and finished the dragon with silver bullets and sunlight. The hunters happy as never before celebrated their victory with the head of the dragon burning impaled on a sword. In the aftermath Michael thanked Crimson for their help but he was dubious if he really wanted to gift them not only food but trucks and weapons, Crimson assured them it was not a problem and before leaving he casted a spell which made the hunters forget about him. The hunters remembered about Ragna and thanked him for his crucial help but Ragna, initially a bit shy, strengthened himself thanks to Crimson's help and replied that he wasn't the only one against the dragon. The hunters traveled away towards the border to reach a safe refuge.
