I watched as it's head twisted and turned in an attempt to locate me, but with little luck it began to walk around slowly, a cacophony of words coming from it in an attempt to entice me.
A pleasing sultry voice came from its mouth.
"That's right~ I know the way, the way to your heart~"
What followed next was a various demographic chorus of voices.
"It's fine that you're afraid, but we know the way. We can take you with us!" it said as a man with a husky voice.
"You don't want to get in trouble! But with us here you won't have to worry about that, let me tell you a secret, we know the way!" it said in a young boys voice.
"Were inviting everyone to come and follow us. I know someone who knows the way." it said as an old woman.
It's voice changing and over lapping as it beckoned me into the open, where without fault, it will kill me.
It slowly walked around, covering ground and singling out hiding spots as it approached my spot.
'I have to do something, think!'
By now I've taken control of my breath and slowed it down, sweat ran down my face as I regained energy.
As it got closer I realized that under all of the talking it was doing, I could hear a faint deep sniffing sound.
'It can't smell me'
After thinking on it and questioning why it was calling out to me. It's because it can't smell me, that's probably how it primarily finds its targets.
But with me covered in a whole manner of filth I highly likely smell just like the cloth and bits laying around the room.
My body hasn't matured yet so my sweat doesn't smell, I've got on old tattered clothing that resembles the cloth laying around.
'I can do this'
With caution I slowly positioned myself under a rock that is almost perfectly sitting on top of some other rocks, leaving a small gap in it. Just small enough for a malnourished 4 year olds body to creep inside. I grabbed the corner of some cloth and pulled it infront of me, almost blocking off the small entrance.
I guess I did it just in time.
"You know you'll like it~ The way I'll touch you would make anyone jealous~ It happened in the past and now he know's the way to~" it continued to chat, honestly by this point it sounds like it's giving out sexual favors just so that I'll go out.
'She really needs some ah Jesus in her life'
Now it might have been a coincidence, or the prayer I did earlier made it to the man up stairs, or just the mention of his name but... Wait never mind. If I remember right God died back during the faction war between the Devils, Fallen Angels and other miscellaneous creatures like Draig, Albion, Samuel, Trihexa... Yeah he dead, the Seraph Michael took the reigns after God died 'may his soul rest it peace' So with him at the helm and he busy with the Heaven System, he doesn't really have the time for a 4 year old kid.
I watched as beams of light fell from the sky, piercing the creature.
I looked up and on the remains of the fourth floor stood a group of what I can see about 13 people. Cloaks of grey and black material hung off of their frames with a cross stitched into the fabric. Under their cloak I could see grayed out armour with golden texts engraved onto them. Half of the group stood there with what looked like slim white rifles, the exit of the barrel glowing with a white light.
"Exorcist~ now how did you find little ol me~"
It's black oily cloak hiding the burns from the rifles.
"Stray Devil Julia Beconhart, by the order of the catholic church and permissions granted by the great Seraphim. You are to be executed for the mass murder of a catholic church and the other innumerable deeds you malevolently enacted out upon others. May God have mercy upon the remains of your soul, as it is our duty here. To crush you."
I watched in shock as the exorcist's unloaded on the Stray Devil, innumerable amounts of light exited the barrel of there guns.
Without much choice 'Julia' fell to the ground, a screech of pain filled the air as it laid there, broken.
In just about 10 seconds they pulled up, told 'julia' to go fuck herself and mag dumped her ass.
'I want that'
6 of the exorcist's stepped off the ledge and fell in sync, each one falling around the Stray Devil, cutting off her escape.
With a groan the devil fell down, her legs falling apart. Due to where I hid I couldn't see everything going on, but I can see the lead exorcist just perfectly.
I concealed my presence even further, watching this 'execution'.
"So you killed him" he said as he reached down and picked up the arm that 'julia' held onto in her chase.
"Of... OF COURSE I DID! HE WAS A MAGUS! HE DIDN'T KNOW THE WAYYY.. AHRHRGH" I watched as he slammed his leg on its back.
But nothing prepared me for what I saw next.
As he pulled his leg away the oily black cloak on its back came with it, it's fabric clinging to his leg.
My eyes widened in shock at the... the...
A loud cry went up, the sound of babies crying rung in the air. I looked on in horror at the sight of row upon row upon row of heads cried out in unison. The sight of babies, male, female, young, old, human, yokai, Fallen angel, devil and more.
All of there mouths wide open in the same ghoulish manner as the main head.
"So this is your form, yet I'm certain it is not as twisted as your soul. May God sort out what remains of your being. In cadence, 'As we pray, in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit, amen'. they spoke in sync.
With a twirl they brought a sword hilt even with their faces. With a click they turned from exorcist's into what resembled something from a famous franchise of my past, without a flicker a beam of white light appeared, extending from the hilt, a jedi.
'I want That!'
I watched as in coordination they executed the Stray Devil, it's body cut into 6, it's blood falling freely, coating the floor in its viscosity.
They stepped back together as one, there mission accomplished.
All I could do was watch as they efficiently cleaned the mess that was created, the exorcist leader standing to the side, his face hardened as he looked down at the arm in his hands.
"Were done here, it ate his body before we arrived. The tower will get what remains of him. 'sigh' let's go"...
I waited and refused to move, the power, the efficiency, the absolute strength and coordination shared between the hit squad. It opened my eyes to what I could accomplish, all I need is to awaken my circuits and powers. No, I need to do this!
For real though! Holy shit! I almost died. Watched and experienced this abomination chase me and die. I should be traumatized. But for some reason I just couldn't calm my heart, it felt like something, a goal, a flame of passion was built in my chest.
Then I felt it, a sense of completion and fulfillment filled my soul.
I unlocked my sacred gear.
