The Lonely Hunter Chapter 7: Returning A Favor
A marksman's purpose is to shoot high-volume targets in long ranges while maintaining a safe distance. What if a marksman was capable of fighting near distances? Some may agree with this but others will not because we all know that even if a marksman is able to deal a significant damage in short range, the purpose of dealing high damage, accurate shots, and laying low will be restricted and as a result, one will be focused on maintaining defense and evasion to avoid any incoming attacks.A marksman's heavy power is able to pierce even the toughest of defense, it all goes down to how high the power a marksman can do. But even if a marksman cannot deal enough damage from afar, just by going shortening the distance to the designated target increases your damage output. Mastering this type of technique would let you deal much higher damage to the enemy while having your guard up.This was the full purpose of the martial arts "Way of the marksman" though the title didn't

"How many are they? Isn't there at least a thousand of them?!" Kal said in shock as he scan his vicinity. The cemetery was very wide and there was at least a tombstone half a meter apart. The zombies and skeletons moved and began raising their weapons as soon as they saw Kal."Undead monsters have dull movements, their status is weak, and their only advantage is their numbers." Kal said. Seemingly in a sense of relief the zombies and skeletons suddenly jotted and attacked Kal like wild animals.'I shouldn't have said that! But how the hell can these monsters be as fast as humans?!' Kal quickly push his spear to a zombie's chest, the spear easily penetrated their bodies due to its soft muscle tissues, and Kal needn't put much effort in his attack.Grrr....Even with Kal piercing it's heart the zombie continued to move and slash it's dull sword to his neck.

The only source of entertainment he had was watching TV. When he do night shifts in grocery stores. The news would always be about hunters and sanctum. He idolized powerful hunters and always see himself as an ant compared to them. He was fascinated by their martial arts, their prowess and how amazing they looked in TV. Even after becoming a hunter, he always humbles himself that he will never be like them and if he could learn a martial art or two, he wouldn't compare himself to the hunters he had been watching when he was still working."You must be kidding right? I mean I can't even compare myself to Dontrelle or even you guys! Ain't I just a normal hunter? Geniuses like those hunters I see on TV could probably do much better than me.

I don't care if you're Dontrelle's brother, you must've forgotten that we are still complete strangers, you don't know what I can do so make sure you're telling the truth or else..." Dante sounded infuriated. He was emitting murderous aura as he unsheathed half of his rapier from its scabbard.'This aura is just as frightening as Jennifer's. What the hell did I do? I was just telling the truth.' Kal said to himself. He was sweating profoundly and he swallowed down his nervous saliva. He remained composed as it is and didn't flinch from the murderous vibe Dante was giving off."Dante stop!" Lin Wei called out Dante.

He was eating turon (A classic Filipino dessert that is made of ripe banana and wrapped in lumpia wrapper and then fried in oil covered in caramelized brown sugar)while watching the news in the TV. When he saw that Kal was awake, he immediately greeted him."Kal your awake! Thanks for saving me back there and look! You're in TV."

Kal kept on firing the hawk spring arrow. He aimed at the same wound in the leg and activated the bleeding effect. The Kobold champion tried to cover the wound in the leg using his axe but as soon as it did that, Kal would aim to the other wound on the rib. They watch the one-sided beat down with utter shock. The fear effect had subsided a while ago but they were so induced to what was happening, they forgot that they could already move.'Where did he find such an arrow? How can it simply disappear and appear to his hands?' The man muttered to himself as he continued to watch Kal. His men were also thinking of the same thing and Dontrelle who was shocked at what was happening also felt a disbelief.Grraagh!The Kobold champion growled loudly infuriated at the barrage of attacks it couldn't defend. It raised its giant axe up in the air and smash it right down to ground. The ground in its fall cracked and unearthed the ground in a wide area shaking the entire dome of th

As soon as they enter, they were greeted by a sinister breeze. The hunters in front immediately raised their shields and readied their weapons. Dontrelle and Kal also did the same, Dontrelle raised his circular shield the size of a window frame and his sword. Kal stretch the string of his bow and aimed at the pit of darkness."I can see them!" Kal exclaimed staring at the darkness from afar. This was due to the heightened senses he gained from his innate talent so he had an eyes that could see from a kilometer away and he had a night vision that come to that. "You see them from this distance? What type of monsters are lurking from the darkness?" The man asked Kal."They have a very short stature, they are covered in fur, they look like wolves but their standing on their feets and wear light armor and short swords, I can see some using bows, shields and spears." Kal said as he accurately describe the appearance of the monsters."From your descri

Chapter 13: Meeting Again
Kal stared at Dante's left leg smiling. When Dante checked what Kal was grinning at, he looked at his left leg and was dumbstruck to what he saw."H-how?" Dante stuttered in his words. He was surprised to find out that the cloth of the torso in his left ankle has been torn a bit showing his skin that revealed a red mark. Although it didn't left a scratch, the red mark was a sign that something had hit it.'I definitely blocked all of his attacks but where did this mark came from? No way, was it..' Dante then scanned Kal who was still lying in the ground and when he check his belt, the scabbard for his knife was empty. He checked at where the knife had gone to and he went back to the position he was standing. There he saw the knife stuck in the ground with some cloth from his torso stuck between the dull blade of the weapon.'While he was airborne, the reason he purposely aimed all his attack to my upper body so that I would lower my defense in my lower bod
