A single hunter.

The old man was still hovering in the air with his rob flipping behind him. He had this supremacy aura around him that even Lyons heart was tumbling.

'You said something about not needing an army...then who is this guy and why is my instinct telling me to run away,' Lyon panicked.

There is a reason Nate why Nate was yet to move, not that he was afraid rather he was considering something else. 'He knows what am capable of, is this the leader of the zombie Hunters or something else and why can't I feel his presence,' Nate wondered.

Not being able to feel the man's presence was the main reason Nate had not moved yet. The old man had made it clear he was after Nate which Nate wouldn't take it lightly, but he can't feel the man's presence.

'He has no sent that tells whether he is a human, zombie or a beast, but who cares, all I know is that he is here to kill me,' Nate said to himself.

"Try as much as you guys can to protect those zombies, this fight is main," Nate saying that to the others, he disappeared from their sight.

Meanwhile, the old man seems to have also disappeared.

"Wiat...is he going to fight that man...?" Lyon wondered.

"You heard what he said, we need to protect those zombies, if you want to help him, go ahead," Bull said to Nate.

Lyon knows that Nate must have something in mind when he decided to take the man alone wouldn't want to interfere and decided to help in getting the zombies into the mothership.

As they were doing this, multiple explosion was already going off in the distance.

---

Running through the bushes, Nate was looking back to see how much distance he have created from the old man but the latter was just right behind him.

"Forget about it....you can't outrun me...!" the man shouted and stretched out his hand.

"Fool... I'm not running away from you...!" Nate shouted as he made a three-sixty turn and rushed towards the old man.

The old man clenched his fist and throw it out. At the same time, Nate summoned the axe and swung it at the man.

[Explosive mood activated]

'I will use you to test the capability of my new skills, ' Nate thought as a line thread was released from the sword.

The old man seems to have noticed this. Commanding the air beside him, the old man formed a barrier to block the thread.

Boom...!!!

The barrier exploded as the thread continued to head towards the man. "The hunters sent you right...maybe they didn't tell you what I can do...!" Nate shouted as he spotted the man trying to escape.

"So what if you have a supernatural weapon, I also have one," the man replied Nate.

A ring on his finger glowed as golden armour covered his chest. "I'm not cocky enough to start holding back, you surely are a pain in the ass," the old man said.

His hand started to gather wind blades and was sending them towards Nate.

[Light foot activated]

Using his light foot skill, Nate was able to dodge all the blades and at the same time, he found himself swinging his sword sending off more thread.

"It's useless, this armour absorbs damages, the more you hit me the more it gives me power..!" the old man shouted not minding to dodge the threads.

'Yeah... let's see if it can absorb ice..' Nate thought.

As the thread hit the armour, the explosion Nate was expecting never happened but something else was taking effect.

The old man's body was freezing and he was gradually descending. Nate took this opportunity to reach out with his sword.

Turning it into a spear, Nate hurled it at the man's chest.

Bang...!!!

The spear spine around the man's chest did no damage to the armour but more ice frost had spread through the old man's chest giving Nate more time to reach him.

"Having those weapons isn't enough," Nate said and kicked the old man's head down on the ground.

Blood gushed out of the old man's mouth as his eyes turn red. The freezing time was over and the man was planning to attack.

However, not knowing what hit him, the man found himself on the floor. Calling the axe into his hand, Nate swung it at the man's shoulder.

The golden armour extended to the hunter's shoulder therefore it was useless since no damage was done, but Nate just wanted to freeze the man up before punching the hunter in its face.

Nate repeated this multiple times, flogging the man all around the trees before holding him down on the floor.

"You think fighting me with all your tricks means you are not cocky, " Nate said as picked the man up by its neck.

"For you to just suddenly appear, I have an idea who might have told you who I am," Nate said looking at the old man straight in the eye.

It was then Nate sensed something coming from behind. It was the old man's wind blade. Seeing this, at throw the man towards the blade they hit its body but did nothing.

"They were right... You are indeed someone dangerous to live. I can't defeat you now, but I will come for you soon when I am prepared..." Saying this to Nate, the zombie hunter flew away.

"Tips for next time... Don't be too cocky to come alone," Nate shouted out but the man was already out of his sight.

'I have a lot to do than waiting here,' Nate thought before returning to the others.

Meanwhile, Bull, Mark and Lyon were still taking the zombies inside the mothership when Nate returned.

Looking behind Nate, the others were expecting to see an undead old man walking with him but they didn't see such a thing.

"Where is he?" lyon asked.

"He ran away as soon as I overpowered him," Nate answered.

"But he doesn't seem like a weak type, " Lyon said not believing he was afraid of that man earlier.

"I think we should do what we want and leave here, I don't know if I can face him if he were to return with backup," Nate said.

As he was approaching the mothership, a familiar bright light shined in front of Nate and when it cleared, a middle age man was standing before him.

"Nate...what have you been doing...!!!" the middle age man said hastily.
