He could feel the thunder rumbling from within him. Black lightning with red streaks were emitted from within him as he lowered his stance. The enemies in front of him were slow, extremely so. He could feel within his senses the time dilation that has occured.
Magus said simply while Haruki dashed towards the middle of the swarm. He turned into a bolt of red lightning as he reappeared at the opposite end of the room. Within that same instant the enemies that swarmed him were simultaneously beheaded. As he looked back hea couldn't help but whistle. "Damn... So this is what you can do huh?" He muttered to himself.
Magus said as he absorbed their blood and the malevolent energy that were dispersing away from their corpses. The more he absorbed the more powerful he felt. His black eyes flickered and turned crimson as it shone brightly while emitting sparks of red lightning.
He could feel the effects of the time dilation fade as he watched the two people beyond the monitor be stupefied by the sudden turn of events. "What!? What the hell happened!?" Oslo shouted as he stared at Haruki unharmed and wearing some sort of wierd clothing. Samuel furrowed his brows, "So is that what you were looking for?" He asked Oslo making the other furiously slam his palms on the table. "How the fuck am I supposed to know!? Do you have any idea how much I searched!? I beat him day and night, but he never gave away anything." He fumed as he glared at the man projected on the screen. He clicked his tongue as he stared at Samuel. "Send everyone!" He said as he turned off the cameras watching Haruki.
Samuel pressed a few buttons on the control terminal infront of him. Releasing all the caged beasts the U.C.P. has been experimenting on. He stared at the video feed of Wolf slaughtering every single one of the infected easily and frowned.
Haruki on the other hand noticed that the previously sealed room has opened two doorways. One behind him was where they came from. The one infront of him probably lead somewhere else.
Gripping his nameless unsheathed blade, he closed his eyes and sighed as he walked towards the new doorway. Suddenly beside his waist a jet-black sheathe suddenly manifested from the red streaks of lightning roaming his body, seemingly out of thin air. He steadily sheathed his blade and held the mask plastered in his face. He realized that it was stuck in his face making him frown. "Magus, how do I take this off." He asked.
He reluctantly nodded his head as his eyes grew cold the moment he stepped inside the adjacent room.
It was filled with infected on the late stages strapped on beds as they wriggled in pain and shed tears filled with agony. He frowned as one by one the straps loosened unleashin the ravenous swarm upon him.
"KKKKRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
One infected emitted a deafening screech as it dashed madly towards haruki with its sharpened claws. He stood there motionlessly as he closed his fist and punched a hole on it's heart crushing it. Within that same motion he drew his blade and cut its head. He grabbed it midair and slammed it on the ground turning it to a bloody paste.
He kicked the body aside as he lowered his stance. He once more turned into red streaks of lightning as he flickered all across the room dispersing all the enemies infront of him. Once he has eliminated all of them he reappeared at the middle of the room panting heavily. "What the hell... This is exhausting as fuck..." He said as he put a hand on his thigh while breathing sharply.
Haruki shrugged his shoulders as he tried to stand up straight, "So you're saying im old? I'm not even in my forties!" He said. However Magus's voice rang within his ears once more.
"How do you propose we do that? I'm not gonna say no to being young again. I'm way to handsome to be even considered old." He said as he continued walking towards the empty doorway.
Magus said while chuckling to itself. Haruki frowned, "Hey, Not even as a joke." He said as he shook his head. When he entered what he saw was a similarly looking infected was standing a good distance away from him. It looked like the same one that killed his crew. Except this time instead of red crystals it was purple. The infected was even a little more bulkier this time. This made Haruki frown.
"Something like that?" He said as he pointed towards the monster.
Magus said while chuckling. Haruki stretched his body once more. "Well, It's as good as any. If you're gonna be a cryptic son of a bitch so be it." He said as he prepared to dash towards the monster.
He beckoned the monster to come at him. The monster growled softly as it launched itself towards him. He bent backwars as he dodged the incoming claw that swiped where his face was a second ago. He kicked its chest sending them both backwards. He raised his eyebrows. "That was a full powered kick. This fucker's tough." He said as he turned into a bolt of red lightning.
He appeared midair on it's blindspot behind it as he slashed downwards. The moment his blade made contect with its skin he felt such strong resistance, it was actually bounced back making his arm numb from impact. He stared at the thin gash on the monsters shoulder blade at it was only skin deep making him frown.
The monster instantly turned around and swiped towards Haruki. He crossed both his arms to prevent the monster from scratching his face. Howeer the moment he felt the claws on his arms it was too late as he was sent flying towards the wall. The moment he bounced back froom the impact the beast slammed its shoulders at his body embedding him deep into the wall.
The beast growled as it continued to furiously claw at him. He used everything within his power to parry away all of it's strikes. He managed to free himself from the onslaught as he turned into a bolt of lightning a distance away.
He leaned his back on the wall as he stared at the beast in cold sweat, "This... is one tough... fucker." He said in between sharp breaths. He stared at himself at was surprised, "Didn't even have a scratch on this clothes. "Huh... apparently me too." He said chuckling as he forced himself to stand straight.
He grit his teeth as he turned into a bolt of lightning once more as he dashed around. Flickering from one place to another dealing small instances of damage on the same spot he slashed earlier. This further irritated the beast as black blood flowed outside its body. It's deafening screech echoed across the room.
"Magus! Do your thing!" He said as he reappeared once mroe to slash at the beast widening the small gash that was now an open and gnarly wound.
Black flood floated in the air as it made its way towards the Ars Magus. Haruki dodged the fluury of stikes the monster was dishing out on him as he patiently waited for magus. Steadily he could feel his power increase however his exhaustion increased with it.
He grit his teeth as he spun and slashed towards the back of the monster creating a huge gash without much effort this time. He grinned, "Finally..." He held the blade with both arms as he dashed towards the monsters front. He narrowly avoided its strikes as he lunged and pierced its crystalline armor that protected its heart. He then pulled out the blade as he moved agilely towards its back. He inhaled and with that very same instant, with one fell stroke, he beheaded the beast.
The moment it plopped down he didn't let down his guard he crushed its head and its heart as well. After that he felt the exhaustion hit him. His mask disappeared as he felt dizzy while moving his way towards a wall.
He leaned on the nearby wall as he puked his guts out. He wiped his mouth as his breathing at this moment was extremely rough. "Holy fuck, I'm about to pass out. I'm too tired"
Magus said while chuckling. Haruki spat on the ground, "I'm built different."
Then a series of explosions resounded all over the place. The ground shook as flames slowly eruped from all corners. Haruki frowned as he looked around. Then a series of claps resounded on the empty room.
"As expected of the anomaly. You sure made me look for you."
Haruki turned around towards the voice and the moment he saw him opened his eyes wide. After all the man was dressed in a black vest and black jeans. His hands were covered in black runic tattoos that were faintly glowing in crimson. His waist length straight black hair looked wavy from the heat waves beyond the room.
However the most eyecatching thing wasn't the man's death metal make up... No... it was the two severed heads he was holding. It was Oslo and Samuel with reluctant expressions as their blood dripped down on the floor.
He threw the heads aside and dusted his hands. "Wait a minute... you look familiar..." Then he snapped his fingers. "A yes! The Wolf of Ragnarok! Kazama Haruki!"
