After the sound was over, two creatures emerged from the forest, there is only twenty meters distance between them and Alisa and Marcus.
The creatures looked like a bigger version of Praying Mantis, they were at the size of a tall human and this was the only difference between them and normal humans.
Of course there are still physical differences, as Alisa saw these creatures he looked at the Marcus and started talking.
"These are "Human-Mantises" their speed is high and with their claws they can easily cut you into the two, you deal with one and I will deal with the other one"
As her words were over the two mantis started running towards to them, one of them went for the Alice and other one went for the Marcus.
Marcus listened the words of the Alisa and took a deep breath.
After he took the fresh breath, he concantreted his nen on his feet and started running towards to other side, where the area is more clean without grass and naturally flat.
The speed of the Human Mantis was not slower than Marcus, as it kept tailing him, and easily reached him,
Marcus then looked at the big-eyes of the Mantis and used his aura to make some sort of intimidation, but it was cleary not working on the Mantis Creature.
The creature, after looking at the Marcus for about one to two second started running and lunged to Marcus with his claws.
Marcus just side-stepped and counterattacked with his other leg, attacking the side of the Mantis with his Gyo-Powered Leg.
"Baamm" (SFX)
Marcus hit the side of the Mantis, it made the Mantis back away and take damage, but the creature itself has no clear damage in the naked eye.
"This creature is strong against, blunt attacks like punches and kicks"
Marcus thought inside of was his first real fight in the world of "Hunter x Hunter", and he thought that he has to use this opportunity earn more battle-experience so that in the future he will not going to have a problem of taken down by a weak nen master just because of the experience difference.
After Mantis got hit by the kick of Marcus, it was not damaged too much but it was clearly did not shocked why a random creature is strong and can fight against "Nen Master" like him, because in the end he knew about the "Chimera Ants" and "Dark Continent"
Maybe this creature is from the Dark Continent, but right now he had no time to think about on this subject.
As he was thinking the Mantis attacked again, this time it attacked from left side, and used it is nimble legs to attack with making fakes,
Marcus expected this much and used "Gyo" on his feet to and jumped to sky, this move helped him to evade the attack without too much of problem, but it was not all of this.
Mantis was not an fool creature, when it attacked Marcus from to side it is instict told him that the prey have the chance of jumping and escaping from it is attack.
Because of that after Marcus jumped, the Mantis jumped too and slashed it is claws to his head with direct approach, because the Marcus was on the sky, and there is still two seconds of fall time, he had no time to evade the attack.
Marcus just gulped and protected his head and whispered.
"Ko"
Marcus used "Ko" on his two arms to block to incoming slashing attack.
