Night Hunt 4

Whoosh!

Nathan swung his axe and decapitated an S1 zombie that was feasting on a human, causing him to lose his invisibility.

'Heh~ So this is a Level 1 S1. It has a similar frame to the M1, skinny... I remember Twitch telling me this one specializes in power and speed. Too bad I didn't get to experience its speed.'

The feel he got from cutting its flesh and bones was similar to the M1 but was even softer.

As for the actual stats of a Level 1 S1:

• STR- 32

• VIT - 12

• AGI - 32

• INT - 11

It was then, he heard a zombie roar coming from outside on top of the building.

"Roooaaarrr!"

This 3m-tall skinless zombies that were feasting on human flesh stopped and looked at Nathan.

Nathan squinted his eyes.

'What's going on? And that roar…'

He immediately activated [Coward's Way] and ran outside of the building.

The 3m-tall zombies inside the building roared before rushing to where they last saw Nathan.

When he got outside, he was still running as he turned his head to look on top of the building.

He immediately stopped and his jaw dropped.

He saw a 3m-tall zombie with a skinny frame similar to the M1 or S1. But what left him in disbelief was that it had wings.

It was flying and circling the building.

'Fuck me sideways! Wings?! How the hell am I supposed to reach that without relying on non-System items?!'

He thought about throwing his daggers. But after considering his aiming skills, he immediately discarded the idea.

He thought about the scene earlier.

'Those zombies inside stopped eating and attacked me when they heard that roar…'

He looked at the 3m-tall skinless zombies that attacked him. There were five of them (four D1s and one N1) and were gathered at where they last saw him and continued roaring.

The flying zombie roared again.

"Roar!"

The 3m-tall skinless zombies began to spread out to search for Nathan.

'That flying zombie seemed to be controlling them. But what's the name of that flying zombie? Aside from the wings, its body frame is similar to the M1 and S1.'

The flying zombie invoked a spell and aimed it on the other end of the building.

'Magic? It can cast magic?'

Nathan continued to piece the clues he has seen so far.

'I remember when the zombies were still Level 1, a group of zombies led by a D1 zombie attacked the apartment building I was living and I almost died. And so far, the M types are the ones that can cast spells. Following that pattern and considering that this flying zombie has a similar frame to the M1 and also the fact that the 3m-tall zombies were compared to Level 11 zombies before the Second Phase, this could mean that this is an M2 and it's… Level 21!'

Nathan's eyes shined and he licked his lips.

As a Level 19, if he could kill this Level 21, that would give him 150% exp because killing a zombie that's the same with his level gives him 50% exp.

'But how do I bring it down?'

Nathan was no longer interested in the four Level 1 D1s and the Level 1 N1, especially the D1s. They were only Level 11 which only gives him 0.1953125% each.

He saw the M2 cast another spell before flying down and there was the sound of a rifle being fired.

Tata!

His eyes widened and coldly gasped in panic.

'Hey! Don't die right away! Wait for me!'

He gritted his teeth and immediately rushed to where the M2 landed. He ran as fast as he could as if his very life and soul depended on it.

'As God as my witness, if someone else kills that, I promise to skin that person alive!'

As for the stats of the M2:

• STR- 26

• VIT - 26

• AGI - 26

• INT - 84

***

Tata!

"GO ON! I'LL TAKE CARE OF TH…IS!" R.R. roared and coughed out blood as she fired her rifle at the M2 that was diving down towards them.

There was a hole on her stomach due to the [Stone Spear] that hit her while they were running. Fortunately, her equipment was based on Vit and Str, and she spent her stat points on ST, VIT and AGI so she was able to hold on.

As for her stats:

Level 15

• STR- 21 (+7)

• VIT - 20 (+7)

• AGI - 19

• INT - 11

Germaine, who was carrying Chet on his shoulders, continued running.

As for Crawler, he was nowhere to be seen.

Fortunately for them, the M2 didn't summon its minions to help it. It seemed that it was confident that it could take them on by itself.

R.R. continued firing.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE, MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

Tatatata!

She managed to hit the M2 zombie on the body, neck and wings, causing the M2 to roar in pain.

Click! Click! Click!

She ran out of bullets and threw her rifle away.

She didn't have her main System weapon because she dropped it earlier while running away. She quickly pulled out her [Grade D] Short Dagger and prepared to face the M2.

The M2 cast another spell, [Ice Spear].

She tried to avoid it by jumping to the side but she got hit on her right shoulder, impaling her to the ground.

"Ahhh!!!"

She coughed out blood again.

Both the [Ice Spear] and [Stone Spear] lasts for 2 seconds before it vanishes, releasing its target from being impaled to the ground.

The M2 ignored her and set its sights on Chet and Germaine.

It flew straight and low, just about 5ft above ground.

When it was already only a few inches away from Chet and Germaine…

Whoosh!

It was sliced in half by the waist with an axe by Nathan, causing its lose balance mid-air and crash to the ground, while its blood and guts splattered all over the place.

"Not yet!"

Nathan rushed over to where the upper part of the M2 landed and stomped on its head twice before it eventually cracked open. It wasn't even able to roar to call its minions.

Bam!

Bam!

Crack!

A [Blue] Treasure Chest Appeared.

'Ding! Congratulations on reaching Level 20!'

A smiled appeared on Nathan's face and he started chuckling.

"Hehe~ Haha~ WAHAHAHAHA! SYSTEM!"

"System off."

"You…!" said R.R. who was on the side lying on the ground and coughed out blood.

"Cap–Captain Nathan… You came for us…" said Germaine as he knelt down and he gently put Chet down from his shoulders.

"Captain Nathan… You have my thanks…" Chet weakly said.

However, Nathan didn't hear them. Something else caught his attention.

"Heh~ What's this?"

Nathan's attention wasn't on the chest but on a gold-colored orb that was the size of an infant's fist. It was among the things inside the M2's head.

He picked up the orb and examined it.

The System informed him it was a [Grade C] Nucleus. It was used for trading at the Divine Tower.

'Divine Tower…' He had no idea where the exact locations of the 50 Divine Towers were. 'But this [Grade C] Nucleus… Come to think of it, I never bothered to check the insides of the head of the zombies before.'

Thinking about the number of zombies he killed, he didn't whine because he was in a good mood.

He also thought about [God And Devil World] regarding the use of nuclei.

'Wait… Does this mean I can make my own Greenie? If I have my own Greenie, I can fly back to Muwin. Hehe~ I'll test it out later.'

He placed the [Grade C] Nucleus inside his fanny pack and turned towards the [Blue] Treasure Chest with a loving gaze and sweet smile as if he saw someone very dear to him.

"I've never seen your color before~" Nathan sweetly said.

He picked it up like it was the most delicate and precious thing in the world. After that, he disappeared and ran away in fear that the four D1s and the single N1 might arrive while he opened the treasure, destroying the precious moment.

"Eh?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

***

Nathan was inside a building and on his knees.

In front of him was the [Blue] Treasure Chest and on his side was the [Grade D] Large Axe.

He clasped his hands together and prayed.

"Please don't be a spellbook... Please don't be a spellbook... Please don't be a spellbook..."

Clap!

"Okay! Time to open it."

He took a deep breath before opening it.

When he opened it, it was a [Grade C] Tiara that gives +5 to INT.

His eye twitched.

He closed his eyes, pursed his lips and took a couple of deep breaths.

'I must be imagining things. It can't be, right?'

He opened his eyes.

It was still a [Grade C] Tiara that gives +5 to INT.

He closed his eyes once more and then opened it.

It was still the same item no matter how he looks at it.

Finally accepting that he wasn't imagining things, he lifelessly sat on the floor and stared at the ceiling.

"Of course. Haha…"

He removed his headgear and slapped his forehead.

Pah!

"What was I even thinking? I mean, why would I get a nice item? Who am I to get [Plot] items? As a matter of fact, come to think of it, I'm nothing but a lowly, spineless Chosen One so I don't have any right to dream about getting nice items in the first place."

"Do I have [Plot Armor] like that bimbo Ashleigh? No."

"Do I have a likable personality and power like booty warrior Derek? No."

"As for Rose… Hmm… What's nice about her? Hmm… I really can't tell… She's a scheming bitch?"

"Anyway, I should already accept the fact that I have rotten luck when it comes to System item drop so I can only resort to stealing. Haha~"

He shook his head helplessly and smiled.

All of a sudden, he grabbed the [Grade C] Tiara and threw it away with all his strength.

"FUCK ME SIDEWAYS!!!"

It hit a wall and made clanking noises as it hit the wall and fell to the floor.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

"Fucking INT?! What am I fucking going to do with INT?! Aside from that, it's a tiara! A fucking tiara for god's sake! Why don't you give me a fucking dress and heels as well!"

He let out a deep sigh and massaged his forehead before wearing his headgear and picking up his [Grade D] Large Axe.

There was also another issue.

'[Grade C], huh? I only have [Grade D] Repair Kit. If it was a ring, necklace or amulet, it would've been okay because it doesn't have durability.'

He decided that what he needed right now was to vent out his frustration so he planned to kill until he loots something good.

"I don't believe those skinless zombies can't give me something good!"

He tightened his grip on the handle of his [Grade D] Large Axe and activated [Coward's Way] before heading out.
