Dell tore through each infected that got in his way, fighting as if violence was the only thing he knew. He had been down there fighting for hours already and it was taking a toll on his mind and body.
He may not have been aware of this but the situation was not only making him stronger in terms of the amount of strong monsters Zephyr got to eat. His instincts were getting sharper, he was making less mistakes as more fights racked up. He'd give alot to be out of this small slice of hell, but he didn't have the time to mourn on the situation. All he could do was fight his way through the horde until he got out.
SLAM!
Grabbing and smashing an infecteds head into a wall he would slowly stumble forwards. His shirt was torn off so Zephyr could grab the monsters to eat as Dell continued to trek on.
His icy blue eyes ironically enough had a calm fire to them. Though his demeanor seemed like that of someone about to give up he was still fighting with every ounce of strength he could muster and his eyes demonstrated a will power few had.
One foot in front of the other Dell kept on walking forwards. He say a light in the distance, and below that light was a ladder.
He had lost count of how many infected he had killed to get this far or how long he actually had been down there but none the less he ran towards his exit.
Step,,, step,,, step,,,
A figure would step into the light. It wore black and armored garbs with a crow mask.
"You've truly impressed me surviving all that. But I can't let you leave, you see I may be able to talk with you but I'm far from a regular hunter-"
The crows monolog was quickly interrupted. Dell was on him much faster then he had expected, grabbing the crows mask he would slam him into the wall as a loud crack could be heard.
He would throw savage punch after savage punch, the crow managed to block the punches and kick Dell back.
"It seems the stress from the situation has taken a toll on you-"
WHACK!
Dell deliverd a hook to the crows jaw that knocked him off balance, following up by grabbing onto him and attempting to knee him.
The crow grabbed and stopped Dell's leg, then returning a punch to his ribs. The two exchanged punches, kicks, knees and even parrys.
Eventually the two went through a long cycle of attempting to attack, getting parried, then when attempting to counter that getting parried, and so the cycle continued.
Dell threw his body into the crow, slamming him into the wall. Though he did take a knee to the stomach and elbow to shoulder, getting shoved to the ground.
"Don't you see? You can't beat me! I'm the ideal hunter! My technique, my strength and overall power simply can't be matched by the likes of you-"
Drip,,, drip,,, drip.
Looking down the crow saw blood coming out of his stomach, and looking at Dell on the ground he saw one of his gauntlets drenched in blood.
"How did you manage too"
Slowly getting up Dell would aggressively yet mockingly say.
"Hey, weren't you talking all that good shit about how your power can't be matched by me?"
The crow would throw a punch at Dell's cheek causing him to stumble and spit out blood, but he grabbed the crows wrist.
"Whats wrong? Can't you just heal?"
Dell would pull the crow close into a knee to his ribs. Quickly followed up by a full strength side kick to the stomach wich sent him flying back into the wall.
"Cmon! Show me how the ideal hunter gets the job done"
Dell would run at the crow and kick him in the head then grab him by the colar and lift him up, punching him relentlessly.
The crow would grab Dells head and headbutt him sending him stumbling back and attempting to follow up with a punch but was interrupted by Dell punching him slightly quicker.
Dell followed up by slashing at the crow with his claws, attacking faster and faster until he was forced to the ground, Dell just tearing into him at this point.
Pant,,, pant,,, pant,,,
Dell would slump to the ground. He would reach over to the crow before Zephyr would eat him, taking the armor plates off. But as he did he noticed a sealed envelope.
"I'll,,, look at that later"
Letting Zephyr eat the crow Dell would catch his breath. Then after shoving the envelope in his pocket he would climb the ladder, once above ground he'd pass out.
Near by hunters saw Dell and ran to his aid.
"Hey! Some guy came out of the sewers alive! Get Vie!"
