For Markus finding the hunters on his tail was easy, from his perception altered to the extremes by his aura sense from [Aura Source] he quickly found 3 who were running straight towards his location.
At first he had wanted to bulldoze straight at them, magic blazing but he held himself.
He didn't know of the hunters capabilities of this universe, so he wanted to learn just so he could better combat them when the time came.
So he had taken a different avenue, to stalk them. The dark only made this the more easier too.
And it was while trying to be stealthy that he had noticed something odd, his aura shifted with each thought, the sigils on his aura doing like so too.
When he studied this change he came to a surprising conclusion, his aura was shifting to make him just a bit stealthier.
The more he understood the sigils the more he found.
Like how some movements caused his aura stealth to deepen, hiding him even more and while playing around with it, changing the way he walked or crouching the more he understood until he found himself learning a new skill.
[—Aura Stealth[D-] - A Skill that allows the user to hide their presence, shifting their presence of meaning in and out phase with a simple thought.]
All in all, an amazing skill for what he was doing. It also didn't hurt that Aura type skills as he found out didn't truly use up any of his energy reserves, only needing aura which he had in spades.
The skill was also ranking up fast, a sign that his perks were working in tandem to ensure his absolute growth.
And with this new addition of skill he found it easy to stalk around his prey.
Three hunters, two guys and a girl in the front who every few distances crouched down and felt the earth. Each time she did this Markus would feel mana flare around her, being absorbed into her body.
But she never turned towards his direction, already having stalked right around her with the use of [Aura Enhancement]. His body had mostly healed up, alongside his mana having regenerated to a good level for him to use magic.
The healing twig necklace around his neck still feeding him healing energies.

But as he stalked the hunters he couldn't help but grumble.
Allison was not amongst them.
He had actually hoped she'd be here, after all she was the reason for this entire mess. While he could understand that she was doing her job as a hunter, he still was sulky that she screwed up his way of life like she had.
He didn't know whether if she were here he'd kill her just like he would do to her partners, but he knew that he would have made her regret ever fucking with him.
" How much further Lisa?" One of the gruff looking middle aged man asked, his eyes scanning his surroundings every minute.
" I don't know Alex, the tracks and magic signature I'm following is relatively fresh but not that much." Lisa, a woman that looked to have just reached adulthood said with an annoyed huff to her voice.
" Quit talking, you'll notify our target or worse, the creatures in this forest that we're here." The guy looking to be the authority figure of the group ordered.
Markus hearing that raised a brow.
' Creatures?'
He didn't know of what creatures the the guy was talking about.
He was sure he wasn't talking of the animals that were in his perception due to the grave tone of his voice.
" Come on boss, we're Hunters. There's nothing here we can't take care of." The uncle, Alex rebutted with a carefree shrug.
" You'd be surprised." The 'Boss' said, looking around himself." We're outside Beacon Hills now, we don't have any authority in this lands and don't know what type of packs territory we have probably trespassed on."
And again Markus frowned hearing that.
He knew that this world was definitely not as secluded as the Teen Wolf show had made it out to be, he even knew that there were many creatures in this one world than there was originally.
But the information he was obtaining right then was a really good reminder of that fact, luckily for him though he hadn't met much outside of what he knew other than that one Vampire.
Even then that encounter had been a close call, even if he was way stronger than he had been back then.
So as time went on he listened in their chatter, obtaining valuable Intel both on the hunter society, their capabilities and even on the supernatural.
But finally when the hunters got where he had originally stopped to rest, he finally shot out of his hiding spot.
Targeting the 'Boss' first, wanting to get rid of what he perceived as a much likely higher threat.
Though he was a bit surprised by the speed of which he appeared right behind the guy, a single dash having been enough for him to get inside attacking distance with his Silver Blade in the air, intending for a downward slash through.
" Huh?—FU-?!" Was all the guy was able to mutter before he was split in two.
The noise though got the other two immediately pivot, their eyes wide as they saw me, behind their boss as his body split, innards, guts spilling out.
They paused for a minute seeing me, just for a single second before they reacted just as he dashed towards the second guy, Alex.
Markus chose him due to his choice of weapon, a gun which somehow radiated mana. A single glance at it back when he was stalking then was all he needed to realise that it was an 'Artifact' or Magic item.
" Shit!"
" Alex, fall back!"
Alex drew his gun fast enough to point it at his bullet form even while Markus saw panic gripping at his face and aura, panic that had lagged him behind on some precious few seconds.
*Booom*
He was quick to fire, but his panic had cost his aim which Markus capitalised on to push his bodies weight to the side even while in a straight dash.
*Schling*
Then with a graceful twirl, his [Swordplay][F+] in synergy with [Dancing][E-] his blade had cut through the neck of Alex a single moment after he had fired a bullet.
Markus had immediately stopped right behind his latest victim, his eyes locked on into frowning and nervous visage of the last hunter, Lisa.
*Thud*
Alex's head finally fell off, followed by the body and Markus waited for something as he watched his fellow sword wielding foes eyes, the only only reason he hadn't rushed her just after the others as her eyes unconsciously dropped down to look at Alex's body with a tensed body even as she held her western styled sword at the ready.
And that's when Markus striked.
And he made sure that this one wouldn't go down fast, he'd enjoy this one with a grin if only out of spite.
