10: The Supreme Hunter appears

Puff, puff, puff!

As the last Hunter fell, Li An began the clean-up operation.

Don't misunderstand, he wasn't there to collect the Hunter's corpse, but to devour it. The biological blades on his arms receded, and then gaseous tendrils extended from Li An's back, binding the Hunter's corpse in the room together with the two in the corridor. Then, Absolute Devour activated!

Gulp!

With three more drops of liquid entering his body, Li An immediately felt his internal strength increase significantly. The next second, he thought, and his personal panel was called up.

Name: Li An

ID: 940001997

Affiliation: Death

Health: 100%

Strength: 55

Agility: 55

Stamina: 55

Intelligence: 75

Constitution: Blacklight·Evolved Body

Abilities: Tenacious Will lv.1, Absolute Materialization lv.1, Death Leap Kill lv.1, Beast Potential lv.1, Blacklight Shield lv.1, Absolute Devour lv.1

...Li An's eyes scanned the data on the panel, and he immediately noticed that all his attributes had increased by four points each. This was interesting.

After a few seconds of thought, Li An remembered that since he merged with the blacklight virus, he had devoured five Hunters in total. This meant that each Hunter provided him with four attribute points, which was very good!

Thinking of this, Li An immediately put away the panel.

However, just at this moment, a terrifying roar suddenly came from behind him. A sudden tremor ran through Li An's heart, and he instinctively rolled forward, putting distance between himself and the end of the corridor behind him.

And just as Li An pulled away, the wall at the end of the corridor suddenly collapsed with a roar. In an instant, rubble flew inwards, accompanied by a rising cloud of dust.

Roar!!!

From the rising dust, a tall, humanoid creature pushed away the stone slab pressing on it and stood up, then let out a long howl at the sky, venting its endless rage.

Thump~

Just then, an exceptionally clear sound of footsteps also echoed from the collapsed end. Under Li An's gaze, a humanoid silhouette slowly emerged from the dust.

"A-Ge?"

Li An's eyebrows immediately raised. At this moment, he seemed to realize something and immediately turned to look at the other humanoid creature.

Supreme Hunter!

Seeing this scene, Li An immediately understood what was happening. The Supreme Hunter, who had been defeated once by A-Ge, had actually appeared again. When A-Ge defeated the Supreme Hunter back then, it hadn't actually died. Instead, it attacked the Blackwatch base where Cross was located, devoured Cross, and took on his appearance.

The subsequent plot development mostly involved the Supreme Hunter, disguised as Cross, using A-Ge to eliminate threats to its existence. And the scene before him was the Supreme Hunter initiating the final battle against A-Ge after confirming that there were no longer any threats to itself!

"Hmm?"

As Li An was pondering, A-Ge, who had re-entered the hospital, looked at the former with a surprised expression. Hadn't he died? He was still alive?

Looking at Li An standing not far away, A-Ge's expression kept changing, eventually revealing a smile. At this time, he was not yet the Alex Mercer from the second game who wanted to destroy humanity. At this moment, he still held hope for humanity.

"Human?"

"No, a kindred spirit..."

At the same time, Li An's presence was also detected by the Supreme Hunter. Upon seeing Li An, the Supreme Hunter's face first showed a hint of confusion, which was then replaced by surprise. It actually felt a faint sense of danger from Li An, though it was far less intense than what A-Ge gave it, it was still very real.

"I'll kill you first!"

At this moment, although the Supreme Hunter didn't understand what had happened, it reacted immediately. What Li An didn't expect was that he had become the Supreme Hunter's primary target!

3. [Passive·Combat Talent lv.7: As a Supreme Hunter evolved from a Hunter, it can continuously learn the target's combat style during sustained combat.]

Note: This creature's every attack carries an infection characteristic; proceed with caution...Li An, standing at the other end of the corridor, never expected that the Supreme Hunter would target him first. By the time Li An felt the fierce gust of wind hitting his face, it was clearly too late. He could only instinctively raise his arms to block in front of him.

Thud!

Boom!

The next second, the Supreme Hunter's more ferocious and thicker claws, compared to a Hunter's, swept across Li An's arms. Under the Supreme Hunter's terrifying attack, Li An felt his body uncontrollably fly backward, then he slammed into the wall behind him, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"So weak, human... No! A kindred spirit."

With one successful strike, the Supreme Hunter stood in place, waving its huge claws. A playful expression appeared on its humanoid, ferocious face, and it looked disdainfully at Li An, who was sliding down the wall onto the ground.

However, the next second, the Supreme Hunter's expression changed from smugness to anger. Alex Mercer suddenly charged forward, directly slamming the smug Supreme Hunter into an adjacent room.

"He's my prey, you bastard!"

Clang!

Looking at the room where the Supreme Hunter flew into, Alex Mercer's face flashed with a hint of barely perceptible anger. At the same time, as soon as he finished speaking, biological tendrils immediately covered his entire body, and his Blade Arm was constructed at this moment.

"Prey? As a weakling, he can only be food!"

In the dimly lit room, the Supreme Hunter pushed away the object pressing on it and turned to Alex Mercer with a cold expression. At this moment, their gazes met.

"Then you are my food too."

Hearing this, the ground beneath Alex Mercer's feet instantly shattered, and he disappeared from his spot in an instant.

In a flash, the Supreme Hunter seemed to sense impending danger. It instinctively twisted its upper body. The next second, a cold light slashed past, grazing its muscles. But Alex Mercer's reaction was not something the Supreme Hunter could match. Just as the Supreme Hunter reacted, Alex Mercer changed his move again. He forcefully twisted his moving body, and a horizontal slash immediately went towards the Supreme Hunter again.

Puff!

The sound of a blade cutting through muscle immediately rang out. This time, the Supreme Hunter could no longer dodge Alex Mercer's slash and was hit in the waist, then let out a wail, and its body continuously retreated backward.
