Chapter 48 - Chapter 47: Demon hunters

[3 Minutes earlier]

Outside in the city, a group of 15 individuals dressed in similar black suits roam around the streets killing whatever demon they see. The air is thick with smoke and dust, making it difficult to see far for the individuals. Debris litters the ground, adding to the chaotic atmosphere.

There's two individuals:

– A male with jet-black hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin, he has green iris eyes and a pale skin. (Morax)

– A female with smooth and slightly unkempt shoulder-length black hair and black eyes.(Vera)

They both stand outside a building surrounded by multiple human corpses with their last expressions of panic, fear and sadness. The two individuals walk slowly through the corpses with every step thry take being on the guts and blood of the deceased. The female looks at each corpse horrified at the sight. Just as they reach the blood stained door, they'd hear a loud high pitched roar coming from inside the building causing them to trade looks at each other.

Vera: Do you think there's still...

Morax: Yep.

They start running into the building and from inside they'd see more dismembered corpsed and stains of blood on the walls as they get closer to the roaring noise.

Upon reaching where the roar is coming from, they walk into a stand-off between three individuals; A police officer, a man in a firefighter uniform, and a demon holding a weapon made of blood.

@They both hide behind a pillar.

Vera: Tch... [Her eyes widen as she sets her sight at the demon holding her weapon made of blood.]

Vera: [whispers to Morax] Hey, see what she's holding?

Morax: [whispers back] Yeah. [Sniffs the air] She's a succubus.

Vera: [whispers] Shit... This situation is more dangerous than we thought.

Morax: Mm... Let's go confront them...

Vera: Wait, what? HEY... [She attempted to stop him but ultimately watches him walk up to them.]

Morax: Hey! [The police officer, the firefighter, and Succubus all turn their attention to Morax and Vera; who reluctantly joins and walks with him, make their approach.]

Succubus: [With a smirk and narrow of her eyes, she sniffs the air, smelling a demon scent coming from one of the two individuals that just showed up and grunts suspiciously.]

Firefighter: Who the fuck are you guys?

Morax: [Points at Vera] This is Vera and I'm Morax. We are... [Before he could say anymore he Morax gets hit by a trash bin thrown at high speeds towards him; sendimg him flying out the fourth floor window of the building with a short yelp.]

Vera: [Her eyes widen in shock as she watches Morax get thrown out the window.] M-Morax! [She hesitants as she looks at the three individuals and the broken window that Morax flew out of before blinking once and seeing a male with dark blonde hair wearing a grey suit with black gloves and sunglasses walking pass her and everyone else towards the window; he has a black stain all over himself and has an unsettling calm smirk on his face.]

Firefighter: Oh great. Just great, another one.

Man in suit: Lillian. I trust that you ready to fight this succubus. [He turns his head to the side, speaking to a female that appears walking out from the direction the Policeman had come from. She'd give the man a nod.]

Police officer: Man,am I glad to see you guys. [Speaks to the two individuals that appear.]

Man in suit: Mmm... We going off track here, Kiyoshi. We not suppose to be here...

Police officer: I-I know... [The female referred to as Lillian stares at the man in suit in confusion.]

Man in suit: Hm. Well, time for me to go exorcise a demon... (He lunges himself out the window.]

Vera: [She watches in disbelief as the exorcist launches himself out the window. She turns her sight back to the five people standing infront of her and Mutters to herself.] What the hell is going on here?
