Chapter 12 - The Hunt of the Hunter

Alex and his team have been collecting all the data and information to track down another hideout for these title hunters. On this Alex had been more aggressive and seems more powerful than usual and can now handle more enemies than usual, which grabs Jacob's attention. "Alex there's something been bothering me for the past days. Have you become more powerful than usual?" Said Jacob.

"I don't really know the answer but from my conclusion I know its all down to my skill as I learn. But to be frank and honest with you I simply don't know due to my origins being I was just a lumberjack when I was picked as a title candidate. Things flew by fast in my end I guess." Said Alex as he replies in a more casual way.

The three found an informant that there's a house outside town that had been known to be a hideout for these hunters with Alex doubting that it could be trusted as he knew that they are also being hunted by the higher ups for knowing the secret of the Cult. "We can't find out anything without looking for it right?" Said Jacob optimistically.

"It is a gamble since we've basically alerted their alarms." Said Night. "If we can outnumber them since we've been getting tons of them we might have shaved their numbers." Said Elise. "I guess I'm outnumbered here let's go then but be cautious this is outside town we may never know what's outside and what is inside that house." Said Alex.

After a few minutes of walking outside town they arrive near the location just to scout the area first and try to check if there's any enemy that they can take down outside first before entering the house. But from what they saw its a little different. "Seems like the compound is quiet." Said Jacob. "Too quiet, we have to be extra careful." Said Night.

"I'll take point, follow me and check my back in case." Said Alex as he pulls out his axe and started running to the tree near the entrance of the compound. Everyone followed suite as they walk slowly to the entrance as Alex reaches for the door handle a hatch opened from below them and they fell into a deep hole going underground.

"I TOLD YOU GUYS THIS WAS A TRAP!!" Said Alex as he screams down while the others got caught off guard from this trapdoor. "I hope we land safely." Said Elise and they did land safely down but to their surprise it was quiet, too quiet... Again they don't know where they are and what's with this facility looking place.

A few hours of searching around and checking the area as they investigate why they ended up there. They found a door that might lead them to another area. "I have a bad feeling about this everyone prepare for battle this is the only door we haven't opened." Said Alex as everyone arms up and Alex slowly opens the door revealing that there was hundreds of Hunters waiting for them inside the room.

"Seems like this was a trap." Said Jacob. "Indeed it is Mr. Jacob. You are all here entrapped for you four knowing our plans. Since you already accumulated that many kills under your belt if we successfully kill you we'll take it back then." Said the man behind a dark window.

"Like hell you would!" Said Alex aiming his axe towards the window where the Man is speaking. "Well then let's see if you can handle 100 of my finest hunters made to kill you 4 until then goodbye." Said the man as he leaves the shadows and closes the window shade.

100 hunters made to kill all of them. "Well I guess we have to kill them to escape." Said Night. "I don't hate it since if we don't do it we'll die." Said Jacob while Alex's voices went nuts on happiness 'Let's do this kid!', 'Finally some practice', 'Hey more meat sacks to demolish' Alex hears this and gets onto his fighting side as he and his team prepares for the clash of 4 people vs 100 hunters.

The four began to wipe through the first waves of enemies as they exchange blows and hits while their enemies fight with numbers the 4 stood their ground and wiped through out their way taking down the enemy one-by-one but the enemy gets stronger as they take down more and more from the original 100 they're just down to 60 but it got stronger and stronger only to their surprise this made them work harder and yet Alex has never dropped a single tear of sweat.

"How are you doing this Alex?" Said Jacob as he tries to catch his breath while fighting. "How is he doing this?" Said Elise. "I don't know what you're in right now Alex we need it too, to get out of this fatigue." Said Night. Alex did not reply on what they were saying Alex just continued on slashing and eviscerating through their enemies...

When they slowed down by the time they took down 64 enemies Alex stopped for a sec while he finishes the 65th enemy and look at them and said. "I need to take him down. And fatigue will not stop me, I wouldn't let my body stopping me from taking down that powerful man." Said Alex as he finishes saying his response and soldiered on mowing down more enemies in his wake as he gets faster and faster, stronger than before. And his usual kindness and presence just disappeared what they saw was a man who can take down armies with just his goal in mind is to take down their leader.

Meanwhile behind the curtains as the man who was there to watch the show... "Speaking like a true usurper." As he says that while sipping his wine staring in the chaos he made down in the kill zone.
