*BOOM* The large mass of the chain and the more potent infusion of aura shot toward him like a cannonball, forcing him to use his hands to catch the tip of the chain as he had no room to dodge. So now that he was sent sliding down the hall I summoned an instance of chain jail that I snaked across the floor as I put my sights on the woman to be my first target of elimination.
*thwip* *crash* using the more lithe profile of judgment chain I snaked it straight down the hallway before jerking it strongly toward the remainder of the wall while my opponent was pinned by the chains. Then, seeing her form that was wrapped securely in my aura-wreathed chains, I quickly pulled the length of chain back toward me. Dragging her bound form across the ground just behind me as I strode toward the larger scarred man.
"Ahh!" jerking the chain upward a bit, I forced her to stand up as my chains coiled around her in a more secure hold whilst a free length of chain wrapped around her neck. At the same time, the larger scarred man remerged from the debris after being rocketed away by the anchor chain I made. Looking at us, and more specifically the loop of chain around his comrade's neck, he paused for just a moment. A moment I decided to capitalize on,
"You probably already have your suspicions if you knew to come here of all places… but I may as well confirm them." reaching my free hand toward my face I gently peeled off the brown eye contacts in one swift motion using a bit of aura in the process as I flooded the hall with my previously suppressed aura that was now filled with the barely contained emotions that were welling up inside me at the sight of the people who murdered my clansmen.
As I stared into his eyes from across the hall, I searched for some sign of recognition or anything yet his face was set into the grim frown that made its way onto his face the moment he saw my hostage.
*tch* it was somehow more insulting, even Uvogins boasting and careless attitude were preferable. The refusal to not even take pride or recognition of his people's slaughter, to not even recall it was infuriating. It was the straw that broke the camel's back, as with a slight flex of his wrist and fluctuation of his aura judgment chain rapidly contracted as a loud crack resounded as an additional member of the phantom troupe made its way to whatever hell waited for them.
"You…" Taken aback by the sudden killing, it seemed he was at a loss for words. Perhaps he had assumed I wanted to escape by trading her in and fleeing.
'How idiotic.' I thought in disdain, there was no way I wouldn't capitalize on a chance of taking the life of a Troupe member.
"Thought I took her as a hostage? No, I just wanted you to watch. Not even for me to revel in revenge or glee at your anger and loss. Instead, I want you to watch as I hold you accountable for each and every life of my clansmen you all killed." Pushing aside the freshly made corpse as I retracted Judgment chain I launched Judgment chain once more as I eagerly pushed on the offensive.
*clang* though my mood was further soured as Hisoka's cards intercepted my other attack as more cards rocketed toward me. Each aimed at my various vitals as a murderous aura filled them and enhanced the lethality of them by several leagues.
*grunt* twisting awkwardly out of the way as I backed up against a pile of debris that seemed to originally be an ornate poster bed I tried my best to keep my eyes on both men at either side of me.
"Hmm… Boss said if things went bad to just kill him, though I didn't think it would be this bad. And I thought you had it covered? I'll just meet you at the base." walking toward the slumped-over body of the woman Hisoka bent over as he picked her up by the back of the collar like a cat, her limp body hanging just above the ground. Afterward, just as soon as he re-entered the fight he left without any of the dramatic flair he was known for.
Hesitantly turning my attention back toward my other opponent I decided not to dwell upon Hisoka's odd change in behavior. Though, I continued to stay wary of the possibility of him coming back into the fight.
However, it seems I had kept my guard up too high, as I wasn't paying enough attention to the other opponent I felt a spontaneous spike of massive aura that must have been masked until it was fired upon me.
*BOOOOM* feeling the intense heat and explosive force that assaulted me, I was sent barreling away as the building finally gave in with that last attack as the building began to crumble and fall on top of my body.
*cough* *cough* feeling the rubble and debris pinning my body to the ground I had the odd illumination that I was only alive due to how rich my employers were. Since we were on the top floor of the hotel there wasn't nearly enough material to crush me, only enough to severely injure and maim me.
*clank* using a much smaller portion than I'd like I manifested my healing chain and wrapped it around my body as I struggled to move off all the large slabs of reinforced concrete pinning my body or even penetrating it. Leveraging my aura that I was mostly using to shield myself, I exerted a large amount of force as I freed myself.
*huff* *huff* looking down at my disheveled state I continued to focus on healing myself as I kept looking around for any sign of the troupe. Finding none, I let out a sigh I didn't even know I was holding. Although, I did spot something interesting, leaking a bit of aura was a playing card that was embedded in the ground.
Picking it up, I looked at a king of hearts, oddly it was only the face of the card that had aura leaking from it. Using Gyo I realized it was a veneer, and could be peeled away.
[You further jeopardized my position in the troupe with this fight and killing someone. I need you to speed things up, and bring you and your friends to the location of our base as soon as possible. ~Hisoka]
