it was very fast since that person moved and jumped from tree after tree and when Alex got a closer look he was a 5.5 ft man with slick back violet hair and a small scratch mark on his right cheek and held two small crossbows but different it had a magazine and bayonet knife on the ends
"R-Run from the hunter!" one of the Titans shouted
"Esca-" Before the other titan could finish his he fell dead as an arrow went through the skull effectively killing it and the others ran harder than ever before
"Come on my prey~Ahahahaahhah" Alex saw him standing on the tree in front of them
"Don't run and die like a beast!"The man grinned evilly and the Titans below shivered Alex moved a little but that made a noise
SNAP!
"Who the F! Is there hiding!" the man shouted and aimed his crossbow at the 9 remaining Titans and the other at the source of the noise
Alex came out while raising his hand and the man fired a shot but Alex stopped the arrow heading towards him with his right hand
"I have come here to recruit you hunter or to be exact the lone wolf titan hunter" Alex looked at him
SHIK
The Titans ran as they saw the man hunting them focused but after a few meters of running the hunter came down and when he touched the ground he released some shadows soon the Titans stopped moving and they tried to move but were struggling
'So he controls the shadows'
Alex turned to the Titans and him and spoke
"May I know your name?" Alex ask him
"The name is Aric Shadowbane from the Shadowbane clan but that clan was exterminated by Chronos and I'm the last member," Aric said with a sad tone but firm
Alex nodded and spoke
"My name is Alex Luker Draco emperor of the draconian empire"
Aric's eyes widen and he never knew that he would meet a bigshot
"So why are you up here in the north?"
A few minutes later explaining
"All right i will serve, i will be of service," Aric said while bowing his head a little
Alex nodded and pulled out 2 pistols that had knives in the end
"This is a unique and final product of a weapon i made and i created it for me but it was quite useless" he handed it
"How to fire it?" aric said as he examined the pistol
"Just pull the trigger and you may input your energy like fire a shot that could hit the target disabling him to move or teleport by firing a shot in your location and fire in another visible area lastly you have the devil eraser" Alex finished
And then Alex pointed at the Titans meaning 'Go for it use them as a test dummy'
The Titans shivered in fear
A few screams later
The Titans, well let's say they were tortured/experimented and Alex seeing their bodies felt bad for the Titan race but that's a consequence for choosing an enemy of the continent
And after a few hours of rest alex explained his position and the role he's gonna be assigned
"So I get it, I will create a unit that will hold the techniques of hunting and will lead your armed forces?"
"That's pretty much it for now but you need to train and get to the level that you considered a god," alex said shocking Aric
"That will take a few hundred years and i might die before reaching demi-god," he said because of estimations it will be impossible
"Don't worry we have a chamber that will help you reach that"
Soon both stood up was walking out of the forest but then alex felt a change of energy around and after taking another step their surroundings changed
Instead of a cold environment, it changed to a barren region with little forest life
They look around for a while and soon a large shadow came from above when Alex and aric look up they saw a large mouth about to swallow them and both jump to sides
BOOOOOM!
Alex regained his balance and look at the creature that was about to eat them and it was a large winged beast a dragon but the scales were browner like earth
"What should we do!"aric said as he appeared alongside alex
"Then we kill it" Alex drew his sword and heard different roars
"Deal with the small fired i will deal with this beast," Alex said as he pulled out his mask and wore it and soon it lock and glowed and aric drew the two pistols and a mask to cover his mouth and nose only
BOOM
Alex and aric went to their respective battlefields
Alex battlefield
Alex charged forth and swung his blade down at the dragon head that was stuck
CRIck
Alex's sword was able to pierce the scales but not deep enough so he pulled it out and pulled his gun out and fired a few shots
ROAR
The dragon shrugged the bullets of but instead of bouncing off it created holes and it hurt like hell
The Dragon screamed in misery but Alex charged forward again bu this time not aiming for the head but directed to the wings
Sling thud
The dragons left wing fell and the dragon roared in pain but it was cut off when Alex directed the attack to the head and the force crashed him down to the ground again and aimed his gun at the eye that he can see
BANG!
Alex fired a shot at the eye that he can see
'Not enough'
Soon black flame and thunder begin covering his sword and soon shadow hands also begin to envelope
'THEEE'
Soon Alex raised his sword high and the dragon gazed at the attack that was about to happen and gathered his breath
'REQIUM'
Soon as the attack was released the dragon released it breath and the attack alex released faltered as a giant explosion envelope but alex attack went through and the dragon tried to escape by flying and it failed to realize its left wing was not present and holes were seen in the other and the attack cut the lower half of the dragon killing it slowly in the process
The dragon gazed at Alex at roared finally before dying
Aric Battlefield
Aric fired a shot at the oncoming dragon and it accurately pierced the head and he moved to the side before a dragon consumed him and Aric saw alex finishing the battle he immediately increased his speed
He fired a shot and a shadow streak came out and hit the bullet and like a grappling hook he retracted and was on top of the flying dragon and the gun changed into a shorts word and stab it down and few seconds later the dragon began to fall and he check the remaining Dragons some are fleeing and some are charging at him and seeing them he fired multiple shots and within a second he killed them instantly
A few hours later
Alex and aric pick some samples up and when alex sees the portal he enters and appears in the forest where they are about to return
"So where to next" Aric ask alex since they have returned
"Well let's head back to Draconia were going to the port city on were i was dropped off"
Soon both of them began heading back and Aric gathered his small belongings and sell off his house and rode on a carriage with alex and on their way there and it was only a few meters away that they met with a certain someone
"Emperor Alex you should have said that you will be visiting, we could have prepared a feast for you!" Shouted the queen of Muscovy
"Hey who is she" Aric whispered as he elbowed Alex
"She is the Queen of Muscovy Zarina," Alex said with a slight frown Since this woman is a sad single virgin and she has been looking for man to marry and Alex has been always her target but alex had a backup plan
He pulled out a coin with a different shape and emblem
"I summon you Axe i need your help on something" Alex threw the coin down and soon a magic circle took form and came out Axe who was drinking tea while sitting down
When he appeared he looked around and saw Alex and aric in the other side and Zarina one the other with her guards
"Uhh? What's happening? Why did you summon me? I was at a cafe"
Alex saw this and shook his head and spoke
"Here are my orders keep Zarina busy she's single and your single just keep her busy at all costs and hope for a love life" As Alex finished his orders he slowly moved back a bit and after a few steps he turned around and ran towards the port city were the spy ship is dock along with aric
Axe POV
'So I was summoned to have a date with her?' Axe looked at Zarina who was looking at him with cold eyes
"So wanna explore the eastern side of the continent?" Axe said since he was getting a paid leave so why not take advantage of it
Zarina calmed down a little looked at axe face and began thinking
'He not a bad option since he's somewhat on par with the emperor' And yes she has earned the nickname the ice goddess of the north
"Sure why not and let's split the payment, i need a break," she said removing her crown and sheathing back her sword
Alex and Aric were able to arrive at the ship and begin boarding it and left quickly during that time
Axe and Zarina will begin their travels in the east of Pangea
To be continued
