to him and immediately, he turned backward with his gun aimed extensively at the opponent's forehead. "Pull the trigger!" The opponent snarled and BOOM! A shot was heard which staggered him back few steps but suddenly he stopped. Rapidfire was amazed, his silver bullet had no effect on the latter and he knew he was a vampire but how was he impervious against the most lethal force he had against the bloodsucking creatures. He stopped after more steps back, black liquids slowly oozed down his white face, across his red eyes but what got Rapidfire more amazed was how the bullet hole on his forehead healed rapidly like it was never there. He swabbed his overall black robe, and scoffed simultaneously. "Amazing, right!" He said chuckling, with his fangs exposed. Beside him stood another figure of which Rapidfire recognized as Alan. Rapidfire looked awed, he has been hunting vampires since his early life but he has never seen any survived his silver bullet. Perhaps the latter was a superior vampire but even if he was, his bullet was suppose to weaken him or even still, appall him down. "You must be wondering how, right?" He asked again but Rapidfire was mute, as dumb as a statue "I'm nothing like the weak vampires you've killed for years, I'm superior." Rapidfire cut in, as cold as the wind "who are you?" He chuckled "where are my manners? I am Huntman Jack, the vampire lord of these cove." He spread out his arms. Rapidfire hummed, he has heard a lot about vampire lord, although not a lot but he has heard most parts about them. He read they're vast exceptional to lesser vampires, presumably the most powerful vampires. Unlike lesser vampires, the vampire lord are intrinsically skilled in dark mysticism and summons battalions of vampires. But in the hidden world, vampire lords are nothing like in the folklores, they're immune to all sorts of attacks and sunlight, they have the fewest weaknesses and on top of that, even if they die, they are powerful enough to be reborn after a specific time period has past because they were bounded by supernatural tether bindings to the physical plane by witches and as long as they are not separated in certain possible ways, their lifespans will never confiscate. "I only came here for him, nothing else." Rapidfire pointed at Alan. Huntman was amazed but no one could tell why. He could hear every heartbeats of every victims he has ever apprehended and could judge them by their heartbeats but Rapidfire was different, his heartbeat rate was average and normal. He couldn't sense fear nor paranoia from the latter, he was as adamant as a rock. "Fascinating." Huntman spoke scoffing negligibly. "Hand him over and I'll end my pursuit forever, right here, right now. He's the last key to my puzzle." Rapidfire said warmly. Huntman sniffed "your puzzle? You threatened my sovereignty as the vampire lord and you're requesting for his surrender? You really have gut, I'd give you that." He said. Rapidfire furrowed his eyebrows. "Let me tell you what, you want him, you'll have to go through me." Huntman notified. Rapidfire chuckled, achievement to him. He was going to confront a vampire lord, hasn't really seen one in action but Huntman would be his very first. He tucked his guns back behind his belt "as you wish, vampire lord!" He accepted as he took to his fighting stance. Huntman was rather calm than displeased, his hands were behind his back awaiting the latter. SWOOCH! He dashed in at incredible speed even the wind wasn't disturbed, Huntman noticed and moved sideway to avoid a claw peeling out his face. He ended backwards again to avoid another claw from connecting with his face, then swayed from his hips to avoid the last claw. His opponent was moving fast, evenly moving faster than major vampires, perhaps his training paid off really well. Rapidfire got hold of himself rigidly on his feet, he steadied himself forward avoiding pressure and gravity from hindering his momentum. He skidded forward like a rope was hanging behind his back supporting his crusade, triple clawed fist at the latter's face but Huntman was fast. The fastest he has ever encountered. Huntman snapped back at Rapidfire, his hands still behind his back but his momentum was restraining. A fast action, so fast it shadowed Rapidfire almost in seconds effectively. Rapidfire had challenging efforts in parrying the incoming fist aside but the force of the collision slides him back a little. Rapidfire was amazed, the attack was erratic and inconspicuous. He knew Huntman's hands were behind his back but all of a sudden, a hand came unknowingly. Rapidfire was back on his boots, ignoring the pain off him angrily. He clenched his fist and aimed forward, it was more like a swift reaction that got Huntman astound. He jerked out a nostalgic punch at his face but Huntman blocked
