Alex decided to put the matter aside and quickly check the legacy. The legacy that princess spoke of was a small purple ball which was the size of a baseball. The purple metallic ball was engraved with runes. Alex took and looked for any possible way to figure out what it can do. as he observed it for a while, he found nothing noteworthy about this ball. he wanted to take the legacy for himself like any other hard-working hunter but he didn't know what to do with the purple ball or how to obtain the legacy. The princess had said that the ball would automatically know when the inheritor suitable for the legacy was around.
Finally after trying for some time, he decided to let the matter rest for now and go out to see what was happening outside.
The undeads had gathered due to the Death's mark, fortunately for Alex, the undead could not enter the compound due to the height of the walls and the fact that alex had closed the main door when he entered. he saw that there were many things that looked high value but in this era, the most important thing was human life. the resources were abundant but the survival was difficult so the expensive things were almost useless.
He also had his mission to fulfil in Sector R18 so he decided to not take extra weight with him as looked for the way to exit the place. he observed that undead were attracted with instinct, most of them didn't even know where he was but they could tell his general location and would claw at the wall to get past it. he saw multiple undead bears and other stronger skeleton undead in the crowd. the strongest of them all was a huge Undead Rhino that was making some progress by ramming into the wall.
Alex decided to make use of this opportunity as he started with the rhino. he used immolate on the rhino as the undead muscles and skin of the rhino caught on fire. the rhino roared but still continued to ram into the wall. the wall was on the brink of giving away as the flaming mass of bones collided with the wall once more, the flames also jumped on the other undead as the undead started to put up some distance between each other.
Alex used the same method that he used to deal with the undead soldiers. he used the immolate in short bursts on all the undead one by one as the whole crowd was lit up on flames. the night sky was illuminated from the flickering light of the burning undead.
there were some undead like ordinary skeletons who required constant activation of immolate on them to keep them burning as there was no fuel on their body to keep the flames going. little by little alex was able to kill each and every single undead without exception as the sturdy walls held up well against the undead. The Rhino and the bears collapsed into piles of bones and alex could feel another level up lighting up his body and his body getting stronger.
as the last few undead burned down, alex decided to leave for Sector R18. as he exited the manor, he walked just a few step on the road when he saw a man standing on the road opposite to him. the man was wearing a black combat suit and a black sleek helmet on his head which looked like a skull. the helmet had a golden skull carved into it.
he was slowly walking towards alex while alex saw that there was a helicopter approaching the site. alex could see General Yarrik using a high calibre rifle to shoot at the man.
Before alex could process anything, general yarrik fired the shot. The round left the gun with a loud boom but he expected didn't happen. the man in the black suit caught the bullet in his bare hand as the black glove was obliterated and a pale white hand could be seen holding the lump of hot metal.
Yarrik fired few more round as alex slowly started backing off as he knew now that the man was an enemy. He activated immolate on the guy as the flames engulfed the man. The man despite being on fire, deflected multiple rounds as the helicopter also started firing with the minigun.
*Brrrrrrrrrrr*
A hail of bullets were sent the man's way but his cloths and helmet were intact despite being hit with the bursts of minigun bullets. Yarrik's bullets on the other hand, he deflected with his bare hands as he slowly walked towards Alex. The flames couldn't do anything to him as Alex now was sure that the man was here for the legacy.
Yarrik yelled while firing round after round at the man " Get out of here! Run!" Alex nodded as the man lifted his hand up and a huge chunk of ground was lifted up in the air. the chunk was them sent hurling towards the helicopter. the pilot tried his best to avoid but the huge chunk of rock still ended up hitting the blades and the while helicopter was blasted into pieces. as alex saw this, he observed the man turn to him while he waved his hand.
Alex could feel a strange force lifting him up as he flew towards the man. by this time other soldiers had appeared. one soldier threw an energy blast from his mouth. the man used his hand to take on the energy beam. there as another soldier who transformed into a huge humanoid monster. the man just took one look at the monster as the monster was lifted off the ground and thrown far away. a female soldier used a blade to give a chop in the man's direction. the chop although split the ground in two, couldn't do anything to the man.
As alex was flying closer and closer, the was bombarded with skills from different soldiers. some destroyed his clothes a little and other barely made any scratch on him. the man would take on the most lethal ones on his hand which seemed to be indestructible, his whole body was way stronger than any hunter alex had seen as even attacks that had devastating attacks on the environment around man couldn't even scratch him.
As alex was within few meters from the man the soldiers halted the attacks as the close range soldiers moved in for the attacks, the man used his telekinetic ability to throw all of the soldiers away one by one. as alex was about to reach the man, Captain yarrik appeared behind the man. he had fully activated his skill as the skin and even his clothes were now made of black metal.
"Stop! Tiberius, he is just a kid! you can not do this! "
"Its lord tiberius for you!" the man said in ghastly voice as he grabbed yarrick by his throat with his right hand and Alex with his left hand. Alex struggled as tiberius opened the portal and before anyone could come close, disappeared into the portal."
After a few minutes there was a huge blast on the ground as a man in the black hunters uniform landed on the ground as he looked around. the man almost 2.5 meters tall and built like a tank. the buffed man looked around as he punched the ground hard and made a huge crack.
"Skill stealer has escaped again, and this time he took yarrik with him. " the soldiers slowly came close to the man and reported "Sir should we set up a perimeter and search for them?"
the man looked at the soldier as he sighed "declare both of them missing in action. this mission is over. go and tend to the injured "
Soldier saluted "Yes General Kaiser" as he left.
