Unlike Selena, Nathan was only accompanied by two familiars: Fenrir and Anubis. Just like back when he fought against a juvenile class mutant with these two, he wanted to win against this mutant with the same lineup.
However, the situation was different. Nathan had gotten much stronger compared to back then.
As if knowing his intention, Fenrir immediately charged forward. He pounced on the alien, who was trying to cut him in two.
Fenrir let out a bark that dispersed the attack and eventually reached the alien. The latter blocked him with his own arm before trying to cut him into pieces.
Nathan aimed at the alien's legs and shot them. As Sullivan said previously, the bullet became twice as large.
He shot the alien with a bullet as big as the alien's thigh.
Still, the alien's skin was much tougher than the bullet. It only knocked the leg down, allowing Fenrir to pin the alien on the ground.
Anubis was ready with his bandages, but it didn't seem to be necessary.
As soon as the alien was down, Fenrir immediately bit the alien's shoulder. If he could rip apart one of its arms, the battle would end in less than two minutes.
However, the alien hit Fenrir's stomach with its knee and rolled back, tossing Fenrir away.
The first one that didn't allow the alien to rise was Nathan. He had tested the bullet power, so it was time to get serious.
Anubis had activated his synchronization again. When the alien's upper body was up, Nathan shot it in the head.
The alien got knocked down with so much force that its head was slightly buried underground.
This was the difference between Selena and Nathan. Selena utilized her strength through brute force. Meanwhile, Nathan didn't have a lot of Ena, so he had to be creative.
Instead of creating a big bullet, he concentrated everything to the point where it compressed the Ena.
The explosive power became even more powerful.
This was one of the techniques he came up with after going to the Ancient Library.
The alien ended up rolling back, barely lifting up its head. Even Nathan wasn't foolish enough to fight the alien in close combat, especially with that blade on its arm.
The alien swung its blade horizontally, trying to reach Nathan. But thanks to the distance, Nathan had all the time needed to avoid it.
He jumped into the air and shot the alien with an explosive bullet.
The alien was pushed back, which ended up becoming Fenrir's prey.
"!!!" The alien raised its arms a step too late as Fenrir's paw hit his head a split second faster, blowing it away.
The alien bounced several times on the ground before ultimately crashing to a tree.
Despite having the same amount of strength as the mutant Selena fought, this alien couldn't properly utilize its strength because of Nathan.
The alien should be able to overpower Fenrir, but Nathan had been supporting Fenrir or distracting the alien.
When he couldn't fall, he shot its legs. When it wanted to counterattack, Nathan disrupted his movement.
Now that the alien was once again on the ground, Fenrir immediately flung into him with his mouth wide open.
The alien stopped his teeth with the blade, but Fenrir's claws were scratching the alien's body.
Nathan approached the alien from another direction.
Getting pressured , the alien started behaving even more like a human. He grabbed the soil and threw it toward Fenrir.
"Kh!" Fenrir gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He had to leap back to gain some distance, but as if it were fed up with the current situation, the alien sped up.
It swung its blade toward Fenrir. Fenrir could feel the danger coming, so he instinctively raised his paws.
Knowing that Fenrir was in trouble, Nathan made the gun sign to help him, but the alien increased his speed even further.
The slash was so fast that it hit Fenrir first before the bullet hit.
Fenrir managed to protect its body, but the slash launched him into the air. Fenrir hurriedly swung his tail to stop the alien, but the latter simply grabbed it with its hand and shattered it with a single clutch. As for Nathan's bullet, the alien simply acted as if it didn't get hit by anything.
After that, the alien moved toward Nathan, realizing that he was the weakest link.
Nathan's expression turned serious. He took a step back, fully realizing that the alien would be much faster than him. Yet he didn't raise his stance or use the Dragon Fist to stop the alien.
Instead, he did nothing. Even Anubis frowned and tried to reach Nathan, albeit the alien reached him first.
The alien waved its blade at Nathan, but the latter tilted his body to the side, avoiding it. He had seen enough sword strikes from both Noelle and Sullivan, so it wasn't hard to avoid one.
However, the alien suddenly kicked him in the opposite direction. In the end, the alien wasn't a swordsman like them. There was no need for it to continue attacking with the sword.
"Kh!" Nathan gritted his teeth before the kick launched him to a tree 10 meters (33 feet) away. His back hit the tree, which stopped him, but the pain was excruciating.
If not for the coat, his spine might crack or break.
Anubis used his Healing Ability to the maximum to help Nathan, but the alien hurriedly moved toward him, taking this advantage to kill Nathan.
Both Anubis and Fenrir chased the alien, but they couldn't catch up.
As soon as Nathan was in its range, the alien raised its sword and slashed downwards, only to find itself getting hit on the stomach before it could even cut Nathan.
"!!!" The alien was startled and lowered its head, seeing Nathan's bullet.
It was the same trick Nathan used to kill the bandit leader. He shot the ground multiple times. But because he only had the crystal and Anubis to boost his power instead of Serafina, the range was much shorter.
Still, it worked. It was painful, but it worked. Nathan smiled as the alien was blown back to Fenrir. He smirked, "Goodbye."
Fenrir opened its mouth as he devoured him.
