The message had taken some time for Nate to understand the meaning.
[An opportunity for the host to create a title for his horde member]
It was not making any single sense to Nate what exactly the system was talking about as he focused on another question that had been directed to Lyon which the former was kind of hesitating to answer...
"So what is he called?" V asked.
All this while though, they have been moving, though it was slow, at this moment, Lyon stopped entirely.
"What's wrong?" the other's faces frowned as they looked at him.
"His... name is..." Lyon looked at Nate who just shook his head.
Lyon once again requested help from Nate.
"His name is Hazard" Lyon finally said out of guess.
[Does the host agree on the name Hazard?]
[Yes /No]
'That might be a great name based on Peter's current personality ' thought Nate with a smile as he selected an answer.
[Yes]

'If there were ever a competition on who names best..., Lyon, you need to go for it.'
Nate thought with gladness.
If what he was thinking of is what the new name could do, then this is worth it.
No doubt, Nate is curious about the new name that was listed as a title was all about, but he knows now is not the best time to start his experiment.
Meanwhile, Lyon was glad that the question was not coming anymore and neither was Mini coming any close to Peter.
With that one being answered, Lyon was hoping things would go more smoothly from here, but the universe had proved him wrong.
So far, the group of seven had been going from car to car so they could take a shield that would prevent the zombie from spotting them.
This had also increased their hindrance though, but they were okay with that.
It was already getting dark and V and the rest needed to get back to their shelter base before dawn.
This, of course, was not a problem to Nate, after all, he does not need sleep, but Lyon was still with him who after all also needs to sleep.
Going further on the road miraculously, there were no zombies, but Nate of course found this suspicious, and not only he, but V had seemed to feel like something was off as he deep his hand into the short bag and was ready to deal with whatever was coming for them.
Soon, the creature came into view, by busting through the wall of a house opposite the others.
Seeing this creature, the person that was frightened the most was none other than Mini who screamed out just like the little girl she was.
The thing is that the monster seems not to have noticed them, which was good but the screaming changed things with the monster twisting its neck like a robot and gazing at them.
Tony was quick to take Mini out of V's hand as the former pulled out the spear and pointed it at the monster.
But before he could do anything, a long tentacle was swung towards him, V seeing that he had to withdraw his attack as he used the spear to shield himself.
Coming in contact with the spear, there was a slight glow when the tentacle hit the spear, as it was withdrawn fast like it just touched a fire.
Meanwhile, V was not left safe either, as he was sent flying backwards to the nearby wall behind him.
Boom!
He clashed with the wall and a few cracks were seen spreading on the wall.
This shows that the power behind the strong tentacle was not weak by any means.
"Dad...!" Mini cried out while stretching out her hand with tears in her eyes.
Seeing the strength that was demonstrated just with a swing, shook Nate's heart violently as he did not know if it was because of fear which is practically impossible now, or because of excitement which had a high possibility.
Tony had carried Mini and retreated backwards to give space from the fight.
Ron pulled out his scythe and ruched at the beast.
This time, he was not keeping his distance from the beast at all, instead, he was going for it head-on.
Reaching a certain distance, Ron did not dare to move further because the tentacle was swung at him.
He leaned backwards to slide beneath the tentacle, but he seemed to underestimate the tentacle because it was almost scratched on the ground while moving.
Seeing this, Ron stabbed the scythe on the ground, using it to push himself upwards just in time before the long thing could hit him.
Meanwhile, Tony was looking at V's previous spot, only to find him still lying on the ground.
"Did just one hit kill him" Tony panicked.
But at this moment, what was bothering him the most was Mini...
'If we ever get out of this, and she finds out, it's good that I die for her to imagine what she would do to us' he thought.
Seeing that Ron has just successfully evaded its strike, the rest of the beast's body starts to twist as they form a recognizable figure.
"A monkey"
For Ron to call it a monkey, one might stone him to death. It was an evolved monkey that now had a tiny body with a larger tentacle-like tail, it was two of them. The money body could be said to be the size of a car.
"Common little monkey" Ron yelled out as he changed towards the monkey beast...
Once again, Ron jumped up into the air, and the tail swung towards him, but Ron was preceded as he swung the scythe blade at the first tail.
But how could he?
His body was seen sent backwards, but Ron seemed to be a good and skilled fighter as he flipped his body and landed with both legs.
But soon, he had to roll out from the way, as the tail hit the spot he was standing a few moments ago.
Meanwhile, Lyon had walked towards Nate.
"Shouldn't we be helping?" He asked.
Nate did not answer instantly but he later gave his other.
"You are free to help if you want"
Hearing the answer, Lyon did not waste any time kicking off the ground into the fight.
Meanwhile, after rolling out of the way, another tail swung at him.
Ron was not able to react as his body, and soon his body was launched into the sky far in the distance.
With Ron out of the way, the monkey's attention was now on Tony and Mini.
'This is it...I can't fight while still carrying her nor can I drop her' Tony started to take steps backward.
The tentacle was swung towards the two.
Tony being helpless at this moment could only close his eyes and pray to God.
But right then, before the tentacle tail could come any closer, a figure appeared in front of the two and grabbed the tail with its hand.
"You seem to be going only for the weak ones while ignoring us"
While saying this, another shadow had just passed him with a sound speed as he swung the pickaxe in its hand.
"Wow..., you still have a human consciousness in you after all"
