Hunt and Peace

Alex decided to step up his training, he put on a fitted suit made of Dragonsilk and changed the ammo in the training guns from rubber bullets to steel balls.

he wore his armor's helmet and activated level 2 of the training program. He struggled at first but with the added pressure he progressed faster than usual.

His Intermediate Swordsmanship was still at the highest level but his Advanced Martial Arts reached level 5. His Martial Arts were advancing extremely fast but at the Peak Rank progress would be abysmal.

He wanted to upgrade his Intermediate Swordsmanship to the Advanced Rank but it costs 1,000,000 Qps. He didn't have that much, so he just pushed through.

At the end of the training session he could slash half of the bullets fired at him. Granted they were fired from two stationary guns it was still an impressive feat.

He then switched back to rubber bullets and activated the maneuvering training program. Several guns would pop up from different spots and the goal was to avoid the line of fire.

This was easier than slashing bullets but it was still hard. He was on level 5 where five guns would pop up at different spots.

This trained you to make smarter choices in battle and position yourself better. Alex used this so he wouldn't blindly rely on his instinctual precog, he'd be able to react to situations so his instincts won't work against him.

This would be a long-term project but he stuck with it everyday. Alex trained all day and as soon as the sun fell he armored up and portaled to an abandoned building.

He then made his way to the rooftop where he fought Kraven. Dragon sniffed lightly and as he expected Kraven removed all possible trails.

Dragon had a faint memory of his scent but unless he stumbled across a trail finding him would be hard. So he decided to go new school and had A.N.G.I scan Brooklyn's security cameras for him.

There was a lot of cameras in Brooklyn but she managed to find him after 5 minutes, Alex has been constantly upgrading her hardware.

He was staying in a foreclosed townhouse,

' Guess that noble blood is still there.(Google him if you don't get this) '

Dragon made his way there and scanned the surroundings. There were a few cameras, motion sensors and laser grids at the doors and windows.

' Seems he's expecting me. '

Unfortunately for Kraven A.N.G.I could loop the camera feed and disable the motion sensors and the laser grids.

Dragon snuck in through a window on the top floor and scanned the surroundings before he set foot on the floor. There were low tech traps, broken glass below every door and window, a couple leg snares and some trip wires.

Dragon even scanned the floor for fake tiles and found some scattered about. He stepped inside on a solid tide and reactivated the sensors and grids.

He also removed the loop for the exterior cameras, Dragon could smell Kraven, he was on the first floor. There were numerous traps between the first floor, every step of the stairs were traps.

Dragon used the wrist mounted grappling gun to descend down the spiral staircase. After maneuvering around several traps he stood before the door where Kraven was.

He took a deep breath and for the first time used his Dragon Breath. His helmet opened up for this attack, he chose the fusion between fire and lightning and the door was obliterated.

Kraven dodged to the side barely in time, he looked and he saw his "prey" standing before him with smoke coming out of his mouth.

( A.N. I'm trying a new format for conversations let me know what you think.)

" Delivering yourself to me are you? I thought you were smarter than that. Nonetheless I shall end you tonight and become the greatest hunter in the world " K.t.H

" I told you Sergei, I am the hunter. So whatever happens now is the result of tour own hubris." D

Dragon lunged at Kraven katana in hand and swung it downward, Kraven tried to parry with his shortsword but the blade before him just slid along his without any force.

He was a bit stunned until he felt a kick to his stomach, he retreated a bit and parried the second swing from the katana.

He retaliated by throwing a dagger at Dragon's heart but he didn't even make an attempt to block or dodge it. Kraven soon found out why, his dagger was deflected off the armor like it was a raindrop.

Kraven then knew he had to physically defeat his prey, just the way he liked it. He smiled and dove under one of Dragon's slashes and tried backstabbing him.

Dragon managed to turn used his abdominal plate to deflect the stab and used the pommel of his sword to smack Kraven's forehead which left it bleeding.

Dragon then stomped Kraven's shin which sent him down on one knee, Dragon then followed it up with a shining wizard to the face and then backflipped off Kraven's chest.

This series of events took less than 2 seconds to complete. Kraven wasn't expecting the fight to go this way. During their clash yesterday he was superior, but now he was slightly worse.

But that just made things more interesting, Kraven drew another short sword and charged foward again. His dual wielding made things easier for him they were now equally matched.

Dragon parried most of the blows with his katana and for the rest he used his bracers. The blows kept changing, different angles, different speeds, different tempos and different amounts of strength behind them.

All of which helped Dragon grow better, the levels of his skills kept increasing but that just taught him new moves and new ways to move. But this battle was showing him how to incorporate the learned skills into battle.

His skill levels weren't raising much right now but his combat sense was growing by leaps. The battle went on for 10 minutes before the fire from the Dragon Breath spread to most of the room.

The battle was underway and they were even until the sound of the incoming fire truck distracted Dragon and an opening was created.

Kraven stabbed at Dragon's neck, victory was his. Or so he thought, Dragon twisted his neck slightly and the short sword drew across one of the neck plates, he missed.

But before he could register why and how he fell for that trap he felt pain at his chest. When he looked down he saw Dragon's Katana embedded into his chest with only the guard and handle visible.

Dragon stabbed Kraven in the chest but he hit no major arteries or organs. He then pushed Kraven onto a wall, the sword embedded itself into the brick.

" I cannot be hunted Sergei, remember that. The next time you try to hunt me I'll do more than stab you. " D

Dragon then snapped his katana at the guard and walked through the fire leaving Kraven to extract himself.

His injury wasn't too severe, the reason he didn't attack was because he knew that if Dragon wanted him dead he'd be dead.

" This is far from over Dragon. I will be the best. " K.t.H

Dragon stepped through a portal and into his base before he walked out of the townhouse.

" Feels good to finally use these languages. What's the point of being multilingual if I don't actually speak the languages." A.S

Alex took off his armor and observed it, there were small amounts of damage to the plates Kraven hit during the fight.

' His superhuman strength actually did damage to my armor.' A.S

[ Quest Completed ]

[ I AM THE HUNTER ]

[ Conditions: Hunt down Kraven the Hunter and show him that Dragons are at the top of the food chain. ]

[ Rewards: 200% Exp, 1,000,000 Qps and 1 Oz of Wakandan Vibranium ore.]

Alex felt the hot energy course through his body but he didn't feel much pain this time because it was just two levels.

Alex spent the newly acquired Qps to upgrade his Swordsmanship Skill to the Advanced Rank. Alex was in a great mood, not because of the Exp or the Qps but because of the Vibranium ore.

He was wracking his brain trying to figure out how to get his hands on enough to make his armor. He could always steal from Klaue but that would affect the time line and that was something he didn't want.

He also couldn't steal the piece from the museum because Killmonger had to use that. So that only left Captain America's shield and Wakanda.

Wakanda had a mountain full of it, they wouldn't miss a few tonnes. Or at least Alex hoped so since he was going to borrow more than just some Vibranium.

He had no idea how to handle Vibranium in it's raw and unstable form. So he had to borrow some of their research as well.

The only problem was that sneaking into Wakanda is basically impossible if you don't have help from the inside.

That's where the ore comes in, he could lock onto its energy signature and open a portal straight to the source.

Borrowing the research was the easy part, A.N.G.I was the best A.I on earth. She could bypass their security and extract what he needs without them ever knowing.

The plan is to borrow the research first and build a stabilizer for the Vibranium, then return for the Vibranium at a later date.

This needed to happen soon though, if he waited too long Shuri would upgrade their systems and the difficulty of the heist would increase.

With the Vibranium ore set all Alex had to do was build the sniffer device that A.N.G.I needed to temporarily reside in so she could access the files.

Alex started designing the sniffer device and his drones repaired his armor. The first draft took a few hours to design but it was just a draft.

Day's passed before he finally finished the design and it took a day to be constructed. Alex took a shower and slept before he started his heist.

.... Author News .......

I'll be posting 6 chapters a week from now on, my schedule is weird as hell so this is the best I can do.

I've also noticed some people wondering about the events of " Second Chance " so I'll explain a bit without dropping too many spoilers.

1: Both him( Alex ) & Her (???) were human when they died.

2: They were fated to die that day by the all encompassing Multiverse. Even if they dodged both trucks, a stray bullet or a falling sign or and earthquake or a meteor falling to earth would've killed them. I'll explain why later on in the series.

3: He (Alex) didn't try to save her because he fell in love or something like that, he was attracted yes but, He was literally the only person who could see her in that moment. So he did what any man with a heart would do, he pushed her out of the way.

4: He asked about her as soon as he woke up because you would do the same if you sacrificed your life to save someone.
