The force of 250,000 refugees was swiftly defeated. Not one in a hundred survived, and fewer than a hundred retreated to Wall of Rose.
After a brief disturbance, Lianye continued hunting Titans in the Giant Hunting Ground to add to his glory and achievements.
He had originally thought that, with the Pride Stalker's abilities, killing the towering Titans would take considerable effort. Yet thanks to the agility of his normal human body, he could easily avoid their direct line of sight and repeatedly use Void Predator to strike the weak point at the backs of their necks.
Using a Titan's shoulders as the ground and its head as cover produced unexpectedly effective results. Even alone amid groups of dozens of wandering Titans, Lianye could easily secure solo kills, double kills, triple kills, unstoppable..., and aces.
Then one day, after killing four wandering Titans in a single minute, Lianye noticed strange traces left on the ground as the boiling Titan blood spilled across it rapidly evaporated.
A fragment as thin as a cicada's wing was neither scarlet Titan flesh nor human flesh bitten off by Titans.
Moreover, after being killed, Titans vanished into steam due to their high temperatures. Human connective tissue, meanwhile, was entirely different from this cicada-wing-thin membrane.
"Something troublesome seems to have slipped into the hunting ground—filthy bug."
Lianye picked up the fragment of Insect Wing shed during evolution, his gaze sharpening.
The real hunt hadn't even begun!
Yeah, sorry. I broke my word and still owe a chapter. I'll make it up tomorrow.
Chapter 17: Advanced Hunter Mission
From the moment he began using the Pride Stalker's Hero Ability, Lianye had a premonition.
If Renekton had one trait that needed to be portrayed to the fullest, it was his still-unsatisfied desire to hunt and his tireless search for even stronger prey.
No monster had ever proven itself challenging before the Pride Stalker, save for that creature whose image was bound to his very existence: Void Predator—Kha'Zix.
As a Summoner, Lianye had appeared in the world of Attack on Titan. Like the vast majority of players, he used a Hero Ability to play upon the battlefields of dimensional worlds.
But this Titan hunting ground differed from Summoner's Rift. The latter had clear conditions for victory and defeat: pushing down all three lanes and destroying the Nexus crystal. Naturally, this world had nothing of the sort.
Therefore, the measure of whether Lianye had fully mastered the Pride Stalker's abilities—and even surpassed the original hero—was whether he could defeat Rengar's arch-enemy.
That insectoid monster from the Void had already infiltrated some wilderness in this world. It might even be lurking within this very Giant Hunting Ground.
"Looks like it doesn't intend to show itself yet—is it waiting until it has evolved enough to become strong before appearing?"
Lianye tried activating his savage instinct, yet he still could not sense any trace of the insectoid. It seemed Kha'Zix had already fled after hunting the Titans.
Void Predator's abilities were evenly matched with those of the Pride Stalker. The latter could use the ever-growing stacks of his Bone Tooth Necklace to prove his hunter's glory, while the former was a far more vicious predator. Every time Kha'Zix killed prey, he absorbed its power and evolved to become even stronger—evolution and growing stronger were both paths without end.
Thus, until Lianye became stronger as well and his "arch-enemy" evolved further, their battle would not begin anytime soon.
The ultimate hunting mission would only be issued when both hunters had reached their peak.
What Lianye needed to do now was prepare to kill Kha'Zix and prove to the world that he was the ultimate hunter.
Without prey worth fighting for, he would never again feel the true Hunting Rhythm.
This boredom was true for both Void Predator and Pride Stalker.
These two fated arch-enemies, bound by love and hatred, could not sever their connection even upon the hunting grounds of another world.
