Lei is running alongside the fiery streets of Yuezenia while wearing her gas mask to protect her from inhaling the Dust from the vaporized demons.
"Geez, there's too many of them! Just how many did turned?" She said
She wielded her katana, while using a combination of skills
[First Skill: Spectre Dash]
[Second Skill: Spectre Stab ]
[Third Skill: Sword Dance ]
Green aura glowed on the newly bought katana, she jumps mid air into the horde of demons, mid air she did a 360° turn, throwing 3 green swords in every direction. She lands in the middle, knocking back the demons. She dashes with her first skill into the Fallen Sword and merging with the Fallen Sword, she cuts in half the demons she saw. Repeating the same steps into other Fallen Swords.
She's not teleporting, it's just her movement speed is boosted when she wants to wield the Fallen Sword
"Agile as a bird eh? This kid has potential"
Sen says on his mind as he overlooks on the Clock Tower of Yuezenia.
"Tamotsu. Ya hear me?" he asks
"Sorry, a little bit busy on clearing our exit" he says
"Mind if you draw all of the D's on your block?" he says
"I wouldn't mind-wait what!? YOU CRAZY?" he yells
He unsheathes his sword slightly. He looks to his runes and says
"Crazy enough to ask you to do it, use your Battle Aura skill. Draw all enemies into your block and have Ryuu spam Starbeam"
Ryuu after hearing Sen's orders, proceeds to unload packs of Starbeam arrows into his interdimensional quiver.
"Ryuu, got that Rex guided arrows ready?" Sen follows
"How many" he asks
"Just one" he chuckles
Sen jumps out of the Clocktower, doing a flip and unsheathed his Dual Katanas, Al' Arbitr
Al' Arbitr's runes glowed blue, the text went blue as he falls from the tower.
"Shoot it at my direction, just at my front"
Ryuu used his Phantasm bow, a high level bow he acquired from clearing the North Sector of Eastoria. The bow was glowing silver and it's strings glowed Phantasm. When he pulled the strings, a white circle appeared on the Arrow's tip, thus he released. Dust was blown on the area of Ryuu as he releases his arrow.
"This is going to be my first time using Phantasm and Rex at the same time. Don't you waste it, Sen" he says while pulling the bow.
"Got it, locked" Sen says
As the perspective changes, on their internal HUDs, Sen looks at his target and Ryuu guides his arrow. The special ability of Phantasm, the ability for the arrow to be controlled by the shooter. As for Rex, when aimed near a target, the shooter gains an eye view of the nearest target, meaning he can see what it's locked user sees.
An arrow and bow combo! Phantasm and Rex!
Sen notices he's locked by the arrow, he then looks at his target, he then scouts for possible pathways of the arrow for it to be crossing over so it does not gets blocked.
He then locks at a group of Demon overwhelming a cornered Adventurer group.
The arrow hits the group, thus exploded. He then teleported right away the arrows explodes, thus landing on his feet. He the says
"Lowly demons, you are still a fetus at my level, trash"
he boasted
The Adventurer group was amazed, it was a pack of girls.
They says
"Woah! Amazing!
"So cool!"
"Who's that"
"Hero?"
He then looks at the Adventurer Party, but was shocked
"Ugh Sen, using me again for girls eh?" Ryuu asks
"If you're going to use me then fine, I just don't want to be embarrassed with your evil deeds"
Sen looks at the girls, hands shaking and with heavy breathing. He was heard by Ryuu
"Uh Sen? You okay?" he asks with a dull voice
"Are you trembling because all girls nowadays are flat?"
"WHOM DO YOU CALL FLAT?"
Asami yells
"Thicc thighs, saves lives" he replies
Sen looks at the girls, they were wearing the same uniform, in white.
"Excuse me, what age group are you girls in?" he asks bluntly with a direct voice
"Oh my! He took an interest in me!" said by the girl with a sword
"what" said by the girl with spear
"He said he's asking about 'our' age group, not just yours" said by the girl with flying books, calmly
"We're in an age group of 14. Why do you ask" said by the girl with dual knives
Sen looks to their breasts with lustful eyes and saw the church just at the back of the adventurers
"Ah. Found the Church" he says
"It's was just laying just right behind the Clocktower, it was discernable to be found due to the smoke" he says
He then walks to the Church while drawing his dual Al's
"Hey! Hold up! What do you intend on with those swords?! Who are you! What do you want from the Church?!" said by the girl with knives as she blocks Sen from going near the church
"I don't want to meddle with 14 year olds. Move it, kid" he says
"Who are you?! What's with that hood? Are you one of those evil sorcerers?! " says by the one with the knives
"Nope. Actually, a group of adventures bothered us on our homeland, then we sensed a Demon exiting it's land so we came over to lend help."
"A Hero?!" says by the girl with the sword
"Homeland?" says by the girl with the knives
"Satisfied?" he asks
"Well then why are you headed towards the Church?! With swords?!" she asks
"Bitch. A demon is inside the church. That's it!" he says
"Who are you calling a bitch?!" she yells
Sen teleports to the Church's door. He finally sheathes his sword and opened the door.
"Oh no... Aaron..." says by the girl with the sword
"He's dead" says by the girl with the books
"STOP IT. HERO. PLEASE." yells by the girl with the knives
She ran towards the church, faster and faster as she nears Sen
"Luckily, i switched to my Hood before i landed on the floor." he says on his mind
The girl with the knives pulled Sen's hands to her. She begged
"Please.. Don't.. give him more time!" She cries
"Unfortunately, i must not let that happen. Demon Hunters knows this, a demon is a demon, once they turn completely, they are no longer Human" he says
"But please! Don't kill him! please.."
Sen sighed, and throwed the girl inside
"Yo, flatboard, hide your face if you want to come in" he whispered on the radio to Asami
Asami was irritated, and used her cloth mask. She heads towards Sen with her covered face as ordered.
Sen and her went inside the church, he saw more people with the same clothing inside and Priests and Priestess gathering on the center.
They looked like students of some sort, they were armed with iron swords, bows and mage equipment, all pointing towards Sen and Asami
"Sorry for throwing you too hard, it just irritates me to think of that you can still save someone whom almost turned to be a Demon using holy magic. " he says on the girl
"But we can't just let our friend die that way! He... he's our friend and we will do everything we can to save him!" she says
she was then backed up by the crowd of students
"Idiot" said by Sen
Asami was shocked, she didn't knew that Sen was this cold as she thought
"Stupid. I get your sentiments but that person will turn into a High level Demon if he turns right now. Holy Magic can delay it but not for his level!"
"Now I'm starting to hate him" said by the girl with the sword
Everyone was flustered by Sen's words. Some cried, some felt with rage. Some felt a killing intent to Sen.
"He still have 5 minutes. We can still debate if we will kill him or you'll do it. How's that?" he asked
He then made everyone on the room angry
"That's too crude to ask, Commander" Asami replies
"Unless you can restore him to back to normal, Ms Healer" he asks to Asami
"You damn murderer. Lower your damn arrogance you devil!" the girl with the knives charged to Sen with all her might but was stopped
Sen holds the girl on her chest clothing towards to her, he pulled. And said
"Who do you call murderer?"
He then throwed her again
"Oh right, I'm a murderer. Sucks to be it. Bestowed upon great power, just to kill demons. Post-Demon Humans. Great Responsibility."
"That's my life, a Demon Hunter."
"Murderer of sorts. What if i intentionally turn my hated enemies and have them killed because they're demons? Ha! Amazing!! "
"Corrupted bullshit" he followed
"To be honest, you people are incompetent. Whose dumb enough to stay in the border whose laying just right on the Demon's home valley?"
"Or did you came to bid farewell to those adventurers who visited our homeland?" he says
"The Princess? The Cavalry?!" said by boy whose looks and equipment is rich. Presumably a Noble.
"What happened to sis- The Princess?" asked by the boy
"Still alive. And well. Unfortunately they lost lots of men on their voyage." he replies
"3 Minutes" says by Asami
"The symptoms are getting bad, he'll resort to violence in 50 seconds" she followed in calm, direct voice
"Get away from him otherwise you'll turn into one, idiot" he yells
The Priests ran away from the near turning demon
"You know you can subdue him any minute, why are you holding back ?" she asks
"Or is it because?" she followed with confusion
The two walked into the center of the Church where the near demon is being held by a rope.
"If i had just a frost or earth mage here, i could've just froze that person before he turns in completely"
he says
"You damn monster" says by the girl with knives
"Stupid. Ever heard of Petrification?" he asks
"Yeah, i know you want to kill him. But atleast learn some manners!" she says
Sen sighed, and rubs his head.
"Sorry, I'm a country boy so I don't know how to deal with people" he replies sarcastically
"Just who are you people?" asks by the boy
Asami looked to the near turning demon with pity, and then looked to the students and priests.
From nowhere, Lei jumps out and informs Sen
"Sir, reporting....?" she asks confusedly
Sen was looking at the near turning demon
"A student? poor boy."
He then follows
"If you've cleared all of the Demons in the area, go find a way to communicate with the Golem and it make it stop"
"But sir, the Golem is heading towards... here." she replies
The Students were shocked.
Footsteps of the Golem grew closer.
The Priests prayed for their lives.
"Welp, seems that I'd slash my sword on that damn mythril guardian" he says as he walks back to the door
"Commander, i can revive him but"
"But"-
Sen follows
"You need me? My blood?"
"Y-yes" she replies
"Took you long enough." he comments
"Se- Sir?" asked by Lei
Sen walks back to the Demon and touched his sword.
"Make sure you fucking work otherwise I'll have my hand bitten for nothing" he says
He thrusted forward to the Demon, and hitted it's abdomen with the sword butt, he then holds the Demon on the wall, pushing it to it's chest
the students gasped.
"Sorry, for making you do this, Commander" said by Asami
"What ya talking about? This'll be the first time we'd ever revive a Terran from a Demon State."
The students and Priests were confused
"Reviving? Do they mean Purification? But the Priestess already did it before but it didn't work" said by the boy
As Asami summoned a yellow magic circle from her feet, she says
"Cause you're doing it wrong. Purification only works in illnesses. If you're a demon, you're no longer human but your heart and soul will be changed into a demonized state. It's no illnesses."
"Do not tell anyone about this magic. Otherwise your friend here will get executed" she says
Asami opens a yellow panel from the air visible from the Terrans. It was Ancient Magic. They were amazed.
"Pain Stabilizer" she casted on Sen
"Looks like you need to shut up right now, Mr Demon" Sen says as he looks to his left arm
"Eat this!"
Sen groaned in pain as he pushes his left hand on the mouth of the demon.
"Silencer, come forth" she casted on the demon
the demon was silenced. It's groan and roar slowed down as it was being turned off.
As for Sen, he's taking tremendous amount of pain on his left arm.
"Hang in there, im almost done, commander" she says
As for Lei, she was overwatching the Golem
"It stopped. Only though."
As Asami opened more yellow magic circles on her and her target, the demon. She said
"Because it can still sense him"
A girl with a staff and books on her hands came on the front
"No chantment magic, she's advanced"
"Hurry up you woman!" groaned by Sen
"I'm done locking," she says
"Hurry up!" he asked as he groaned in pain
Asami stepped towards the near Demon, and white light engulfed her hand
"Please work"
She puts her hand on the head of the demon with her yellow magic circles on her hand.
Everyone's HUD turned glitchy as they look to Asami, it was an Ancient Type Spell thus requiring no incantation.
The Demon, the boy who was half demon, enraged and chewed on Sen's arm, slowly lost strength and eventually losing consciousness.
Blood was leaking on Sen's arm.
His arms was chewed, but the Demon absorbed the blood that acted as a medium of Ancient Holy Magic.
[ Ancient Holy Magic: Acts similar to Modern Medicine. It can heal all types of damage to a body but it slower than regular magic. Since demons are highly resistant to magic, Asami used Sen's blood, putting every last drop of AHM into his blood and then having it absorbed by the Demon that chewed on Sen. ]
// Theory Confirmed; Blood Transfer. Half Demonoids can be cured by blood transfer.
The noble like boy that was a demon a minute ago turned human. The students cheered and was happy to the results. but
Asami, collapsed due to mana deprivation. On the HUD, her MP is at negative 50 (-50/1000)
"It worked, nice" said by Sen, he then collapsed as he smiled silently on his hood. His Dark Hood effect was also nullified to save Mana. His eyes and upper nose was visible, so is his blue eyeglasses.
"C'mon, Lisa! Give them MP and HP regen buffs!" said by the boy
"O-Okay!"
Lei sheathes her katana and rushed towards the two.
"Master!"
Sen and Asami was asleep due to Mana and blood loss respectively.
Lisa, a student, casted her healing magic on Asami.
" Mana Regen! " she says
Asami's MP regenerates into zero. She then gains consciousness as she on her own regenerates mana
"You're regenerating that much?! Wow" said by the amazed Lisa
Asami sat, she holds her hand and says " Thanks for the heal"
"Lei, use this potion on him. Pour in directly on his arm and bandage it." she says
Asami throws a red potion on Lei, she then catches it and opened it without hesitation.
She stopped, she looks to Asami and asks
"Bandage? But we have a healing potion?"
"As far as i know, Demon bitten areas can't be healed that fast, so it requires bandaging."
Lei pours the potion on Sen's arms. His arm emitted steam when in contact with the potion's liquid. He then groaned in pain.
"He won't need to drink it, right?" she asks
"I doubt that, he lost blood due to that demon. And anything that is lost due to demons can't be healed by magic."
Asami walks toward and patted Sen in the head.
"I'll bandage him."
"It's OK, I won't steal him from you" said by Asami while laughing
"grr" Lei was annoyed by Asami.
On the door the center, a swordsman with a shield arrived.
"Damn! That Dust hurts like hell!" he says as he sat on the bench inside the church
"Oh? You still alive?" said by Mitsou
Mitsou was on the upper ceiling, sitting on the planks.
"Don't say my name"
he says via telepathy to Tamotsu and Lei
They then nodded.
Lei looks repeatedly to the other two. Confirming if it was them.
"my HUD is getting fuzzy." she says
"It's a passive skill of the Dust: [Interference] . You can't cast magic either" says by the guy whose hair is grey and carried a silver bow with light blue string.
It was Ryuu
"He played Hero again huh" he follows
some students sat together on the benches, praying for salvation.
some talked about the 5 people who just arrived at the church.
"When did you guys arrive here?" asked by Lei silently
Mitsou jumps on the planks he was sitting on and grabbed on the wall as he descends.
"We just arrived here. But i secretly followed you guys while en route here"
Tamotsu sighed.
"If you did, you could at least helped us with the evacuation"
"I did help some kids, but my blade is meant for humans, not demons"
Ryuu scanned the area with his eyes, he looks in to the student's eyes and asks
"They're students, aren't they?"
"Yes, they're from the Magic Academy of Cenaria" said by Lei
"If they're using melee weapons like that, i guess they have weapon oriented magic of some sort?"
"Er... Yes, i guess"
The students carried Spears, Bows, Swords but was regarded as a Magic Student.
"And him? How long is he going to lie like that" asked by Ryuu to Asami
"Bloodloss caused by a demon."
"i see"
Tamotsu carried Sen on the bench.
"So now then, what's the plan?" e asks
"A follow up team with Humvees will help with our evac. All 12 will be here in the next 2 hours."
said by Mitsou
"So we just gotta hol' up here until help comes?" says by Tamotsu
"Lei, why is the Dust ain't getting inside this building? Is it an Area Passive skill?" asked by Ryuu
She points towards the wooden statue of Terra. A Gem.
"This building is protected from Demons, except High Level ones.
We have an On-Guard magic but i doubt it'll hold out for 2 hours"
"I see" Ryuu looks to the Priestess and with a stare
"U-uhm! It'll last for 2 hours" said by the Priestess
"I see, I'll act as the acting commander now. If any demon comes on that door don't kill it."
"Huh?!" said by Lei
"We're going to put it into cryostasis- i mean freeze it then later then experiments on it?" asked by Tamotsu
"Correct, we're already this close a cure for that disease. Or shall i say, a weapon" said by Ryuu
"Weapon? Cure? Don't tell me you're going to put them into that stressed state again" said by Lei
"No, we won't. I know of a better way of doing blood transfer" said by Asami
Lei was shocked she says
"Scary"
Mitsou unsheathes his blade from his back, his mini katana
"Argh. This thing is utterly useless when capturing live subjects eh. Oh right, i wonder if this'll work on Demons"
"Go ahead and test it out. We need more data about their physiology and stuff" said by Asami
Tamotsu was walking around, checking out every door in the big church. An idea then popped out of his head.
"Oi, bro! did you bring your card sets?" he asks
Lei was then alarmed
"Really? you'll play cards while we're in this situation?"
Mitsou interacted with his bracelet. He then brought upon a box. It was a cards set.
"This ain't your regular cards you see everyday. It can be used as a weapon. A poke class magic."
A demonoid with missing limbs came on the back entrance where Tamotsu arrived.
"It can carry magic."
Mitsou pulled out five cards on the box on each row and having it inserted on his fingers.
He then throws the first and second card on the leg of the demonoid
The Demonoid leg's was cutted from the main body. Immobilizing the target.
" Wow..." the group of students was amazed so as Lei
He then throws the remaining cards on the demonoid
The cards pierced through the target's body. The body then exploded in flames. Killing the demon as it vaporizes and turns into dust, rejoining its dead comrades outside the church.
"Joker's Card box. I found this box on a dungeon we Tamotsu found. Apparently, any used cards will be teleported back to the box." explained by Mitsou
He then walks towards Tamotsu and asked him
"Guys, let's play poker"
Lei was yelled
"That's a weapon! Not toy! "
Tamotsu mocked Lei
"Blehhh" he then followed
"You can join us if you want"
"I'd rather not get my limbs cut off"
Mitsou grins while he holds give cards to his hands, he says
"It won't activate unless i touch it." As expected, he scared the students.
Lei drops her sword on the bench near her and said
"Fine, I'll play"
Sen rose up from Ayami/Asami's lap and slowly said
"Don't do it...Lei, he can read minds"
"Huh?! Hey! You shouldn't be getting up!." Asami said in discomfort
Sen was sleeping on Ayami's lap the whole time as he recovers inch by inch of his blood.
The Demon Bite effect halted his clothing's regeneration by alot, making him to rely ln rest for recovery.
He looks to Ayami's lap, he smiled with relief and says
"Oh, that's why my head feels so cozy. " he says
She pulls his collar bone and says
"Lay down, I can't accept you to die due to hemorrhage shock"
Sen layed down, as instructed.
Asami's face was red as Sen sleeps comfortably on her lap
"So comfy" he says
She then pats him, playing with his hair. Like a lover of sorts.
Sen teared as Asami plays with his hair. He remembered his old world.
He then lied on his back, looking towards Asami, he says silently
"Thank you"
he then closed his eyes, happily.
"You're welcome, Ichiro"
1 Hour Later
Lei, Mitsou, Tamotsu, Ryuu, and Lisa and Andrew was playing cards.
Mitsou grinned, he says
"I won, for the 20th time"
Lisa pouted into Mitsou as he laughs small.
Andrew was annoyed
Tamotsu sighed
Ryuu, on the other hand
"don't tell me you used telepathy on them too"
Mitsou stopped laughing
"Er? I didn't use telepathy. Even if i did, Lisa would notice me. duh"
"tsk" said by Tamotsu
"Can't believe they're playing that thing" said by Louise
Louise is the user of the dual knives
Andrew was sitting on the floor, he bends his back and said
"C'mon Louise-chan, we need to sometimes play to enjoy our youth. You wouldn't know, we might get swarmed by those D's outside" he laughed
"Heh. We have them here so we don't need to worry" she replied
"Are you sureeeee abooout thaaat" said slowly by Tamotsu with a mischievous tone
"you guys brought MREs?" said by Ryuu in a dead tone
"As if we have those in this world" replied by Asami
The students looked to Ryuu and asked
"M.R.E?"
"Meal Ready to Eat" he replies
"Wut" they muttered
"Jeez, forget about it"
On Mitsou, he grabbed his hook and fired it upwards. Spinning on the planks on the ceiling.
"What're you doing M-"
"Sitting upside" he interrupted Asami
Mitsou sat upside down. His hair acted to gravity. His legs bended on the planks to hold him up
Minutes later, they heard footsteps on the door
Sen is experiencing hemorrhage as he lost too much blood.
He looks to Ryuu and asks
"Hey Ryuu, remember that time when we were naive of this world?"
"Yeah?" he replied
"Their chief had three daughters" Sen says as his body chilled
"Sorry. I just remembered" he followed
Ryuu looks with guilt. Sighed. And looks to his bow with guilt as memories flashbacks to his mind
Sen groans, he says
"Don't worry, the sisters are safe"
Ryuu was fonded with relief
"It was those three, right?"
Sen laughed silently and agreed
"Yeah"
