Magnus of Ice

Desire to Kill!

"Oh my, I guess my cute little children made a blunder." A crack sounded, closely followed by a heavy thud as if something had fallen to the floor.

"The request was that they be killed as painfully as possible." Then, a whistle was heard as if the wind was cut, closely followed by disgusting wet sounds.

"Don't you think you broke them way too quickly?" The voice was the same for every single sentence. "Well, watching them beg for their lives with their guts spilling out from their bodies was amusing." Sighing, the voice continued as if not knowing if it should be disappointed or amused at itself. "But what can I do?"

"They're telling me to hurry up and kill you too." Kang Tae-Shik said as he looked at the hunter he had in his grasp. "Please don't kill me... Please..." The hunter begged as he scratched at Tae-Shiks' hand wrapped around his neck. This action just further fueled the madness that Kang Tae-Shik was experiencing.

It was this scene that the trio, the bandana hunter, Mr. Kim, and Magnus, walked into. "W-what?!" Mr. Kim said, which wasn't heard as Magnus had let out a maddening laugh of his own. "HAHAHAHAHA... I knew it."

Irritated, Tae-Shik turned around to see who was currently interrupting him. "Who?" He said as he turned to look at the trio. "What's so funny?" He asked as he cocked his head, waiting for Magnus to respond. "Hahaha... Oh, nothing... Just... Excited." Magnus replied, not wanting to talk to this man any longer.

As he wasn't going to get a satisfying answer, Tae-Shik continued, "How come there are three of you? I thought blue boy over here went down the left path... Actually, how come the three of you came out from there...?" At this point, the bandana hunter and Mr. Kim slowly started walking away.

"I see. The pathways are connected, huh?" Answering his own question, he reached to his back, pulling out his dagger from the scabbard. In one swift motion, the head of the convict within his grasp was cut off. "Off with their head... I guess." Magnus commented as he was the only one standing still. Mr. Kim and the bandana hunter were slowly walking back to the entrance.

Not minding them, Tae-Shik said, "That means the boss room is down the left path. Good. I won't have to search for it anymore." Releasing the body from his grasp, he looks at the trio. With a flick, he cleaned the blood off the dagger, letting it fly and splatter somewhere else. "Now... My schedule's changed a little...."

At this, Mr. Kim and the bandana hunter started a full-on sprint. Finally, reaching the open space where Mr. Kim vowed to apologize to Jin and Sung, Hunter Kang Tae-Shik appeared in front of them. "W-Why...?" Mr. Kim asked as he readied his blade. "Why?" Tae-Shik asked back before saying, "Simple... I was paid to do it...." With that, he disappeared from sight. The only thing that could be seen was the sharp glint of a dagger as it cut wounds into Mr. Kim and the bandana hunter.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" Mr. Kim shouted as he failed to deflect even a single strike from his assailant. After a minute, the bandana hunter fell, closely followed by Mr. Kim as he fell down on one knee, using his blade as a make-shift cane, still holding himself up. "Hmmm, you won't die any time soon...." Tae-Shik said as he reappeared in front of the two downed hunters. "Shall we make it more painful...?" He asked as his lips stretched into a wide psychotic grin.

Raising his dagger, he struck down at Mr. Kim at full speed. At least, that's what he had intended before a scythe made of ice deflected it. Surprised and annoyed, Tae-Shik jumped back as he looked in front of him, seeing the forgotten Magnus standing behind Mr. Kim. That wasn't the only thing he noticed as he saw that the opening they were at was covered in a thin layer of ice.

"Tsk... Tsk... I can't have you killing him...." Magnus said as he made his way around Mr. Kim. Magnus looked demonic right now. The poor lighting and the fact that a chilling mist currently surrounded him caused one to feel like they were looking at the grim reaper. It also didn't help that his eyes started glowing their ghostly arctic blue color as he held his lowered scythe. Finally, with the blade of the scythe behind his legs, he stopped in front of the hunters that were currently on the floor.
