Instead, he calmly took out his phone and made a call right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, mission complete. Do you want the head or just—yeah, okay…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Blaine snapped a few photos of Electro and sent them to Fury. Moments later, the message vanished from his screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—I—I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electro stammered, but then froze. Something felt wrong. Looking down, he saw an arrow embedded deep in his abdomen. From the point of impact, a circle of black corrosion spread rapidly outward, devouring flesh as a sickly stench rose. His eyes widened in horror before his body crumpled to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, while circling around the Electro, Blaine had already drawn his bow, notched an arrow, and fired. To prevent any chance of failure, he had coated the arrowhead with a drop of curse poison—extracted from the +10 Cursed Blood Knife itself. The poison was colorless and odorless. All of Blaine's movements had been so fast that the Electro never noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when the arrow pierced him, the paralysis from the poison numbed the pain. He hadn't realized he was dying until it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By ten that evening, Blaine had already returned to his villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's overloaded… pushing for that kind of speed is still a bit too much for my current body,\" he muttered, soaking in a warm bath and massaging his numb legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't wrong. Blaine was still only at one-eighth of a divine body, but with a physique rating of 325, he could already touch the speed threshold—a feat few could achieve. Still, without a full divine body, such velocity came with drawbacks. He couldn't yet break through the barrier completely, and the aftereffects on his body were severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like forcing a sedentary person to sprint a kilometer—fine during the run, but afterward, the lactic acid would lock up every muscle, leaving him clinging to walls just to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Blaine's condition now. But thanks to his divine-grade self-healing and the comfort of hot water, the numbness faded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three minutes running, thirty seconds fighting…\" he sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, he hadn't gone full speed. The rush was intoxicating, but he didn't want to collapse into bed, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day marked the ninth day since the system upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At eight in the morning, Blaine was snoring loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, he was still asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At two in the afternoon—still in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, at six in the evening, he woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By nine, freshly washed but sluggish, he slumped on the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, what's going on… why am I still so tired?\" Blaine yawned and stretched, eyelids heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't sleep anymore. No, seriously—can't. I'm a Bounty Hunter, not some lazy bum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly ran through a few sets of combat drills, movements sharp and precise, trying to shake off the drowsiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grrr—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stomach growled. Too lazy to go out, he ordered pizza instead and turned on the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news was uneventful—reports about Kingpin, Bounty Hunters taking down crooks, someone being dubbed \"the Asgardian of Earth,\" and other tabloid nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his food, Blaine once again succumbed to the \"law of true fragrance\" and passed out in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm… the money come through yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine woke up to the sound of a notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Still not in the account? Wait—could it be? Oh… the exciting part's here…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly alert, he jumped out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to Hunter System Version 2.0. This update includes—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy—! What the—hell—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine froze, eyes wide. The new interface was stunning—a complete transformation. It looked straight out of a Stark Industries lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone was the old monochrome layout and dull menus. Now, the display gleamed with color and depth. The interface was fully touch-responsive—like Tony's J.A.R.V.I.S. console.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each weapon could be virtually tested before purchase through a hyper-realistic simulation, more immersive than any VR. The tactile feedback even mimicked metal texture. Every skill came with a holographic enemy demonstration to visualize its use—clear, direct, and brilliantly executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the old version had been a clunky Nokia, this was a next-gen super-intelligent system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine scrolled through, his eyes gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weapons tab had everything—from knives, guns, and blunt weapons to modern and alien tech. Each item had detailed specs, descriptions, and prices, even searchable categories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skills tab had been overhauled too—listing body combat, augmentations, enhancements, elemental powers, and even cosmic-tier techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were Suit options—jackets, pants, boots, gloves, hats, even underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the biggest addition was the Consumables section. Items like [Hundred Poison Immunity Pill 1.0], [Strengthening Serum], and [Tracking Paper Crane] could now be bought directly without scouring the entire store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Recovery section had also expanded: weapons, equipment, skills, and even magic could now be recycled. Recovered abilities could be exchanged for lower-tier ones in the discount area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, a mischievous thought crossed Blaine's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If skills and magic could be recycled—and since his Copy Eyes allowed him to replicate others' abilities infinitely—then theoretically, Blaine could turn himself into a walking ATM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His copied magic might still be basic, but quantity had its own kind of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*************************************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can get access to early chapters on patr*on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like my work and you want to support me then you can become my patron on patre*n.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My patr*on account is Lord_Immortal_0170\u003C\u002Fp>",901,"2026-06-06T09:11:28.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","b731f94e09c4225807f8961df8b6ac5de322ee3674775b63df3e108deef12129","marvel-hunter-chapter-194","marvel-hunter-chapter-192",411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-hunter-cover.jpg"]
