She starts to crawl in desperation to get away, but she didn't get far. Jinx stomps on her back and makes her drop all the way to the ground.

      He then kicks her in her face and she yells and faints. Jeez, that's brutal... Jinx stands over her and he starts to heat up his hand and points it to her unconscious body. But all of a sudden, a white light appears above Venci and a man in similar clothing as her pops up. He's covering Venci's unconscious body and grabs Jinx's wrist to stop his attack. He looks like a demon hunter, and he doesn't look happy.

     Jinx yanks his arm away and looks at him pissed. "Oh wow, another one of you finally came! The girl was a useless weakling." Jinx taunts. The man looks angry. "She's not a useless weakling!" He yells. Jinx then grins widely and has a manic expression. "OH REALLY?! Then how do you explain how easily I beat her to a bloody pulp?! It's not my problem you want to defend your little crush!" He yells at him.

      The man gives Jinx a pissed off face. "She's not my crush..! And it's the truth!" He says. "But it seems you'll actually put up a fight, seeing your badge shows you're one of the stronger ones! I was OFFENDED that they sent such a failure to attempt to kill me..." Jinx says as he bares his fangs. The demon hunter man forms a sword that's half the size of Jinx's body. It's way bigger than the ones Venci made.. I get concerned about him, I start thinking of a way to help him.

      I think of throwing my shoe at the demon hunter. I start taking it off, but Aldinach spots me. "Hey, maybe you shouldn't get involved in his fight." Aldinach tries to convince me. I don't listen to him. I see the demon hunter swing his sword at Jinx and my body instantly moves on its own and I throw my shoe at his head. "Jinx!" I yell as I do so. It smacks the demon hunter in his nose and he stops his attack. "Master?" Jinx says as he turns his head.

     "Sorry Jinx, I tried to stop her from throwing the shoe

     "Sorry Jinx, I tried to stop her from throwing the shoe.." Aldinach apologizes with a sigh. "Heh, it's alright." Jinx turns to look at me with a smile. "Thanks Master. I had it all under control though." He says with a giggle. I blush a little. "O-Oh, I was just worried about you..." I say. We look at each other for a second. But without realizing, the demon hunter stabbed his sword right through Jinx's left side of his chest. He gasps sharply as he groans.

My eyes widen with concern. "JINX! No!!" I yell with tears in my eyes. That didn't look good... "Oh fuck!" I hear Aldinach exclaim. I start running towards Jinx. "I gotta help him!" I think to myself. But then I feel someone tightly wrap their arms around my waist along with one of my arms and lift my feet up off the ground a little bit. I gasp as a result. It's Aldinach.. "Sorry, but I can't let you do that. Jinx trusted me to protect you." He said.

"No! Let me go! He needs help!" I yell as I start flailing my free limbs to make him let me go. "He's a demon! He'll be fine!" Aldinach tries to reason with me. He tightens his arms around me. "Let me go!" I say as I keep squirming. I then swing my fist backwards towards his face. "Oi." He says in annoyance as he lets one arm go. I manage to shove off his other hand and start running towards Jinx again. "Jinx!" I yell out. But Aldinach quickly catches up and he turns me around. He lifts my arms above my head and pins me to a wall.

"Stay there!" He yells at me. I gasp as I blush lightly. "Get off me! Jinx, are you ok?!" I yell as I groan in hopes he can hear me. Jinx groans in pain as he bleeds. "Who's the weak one now, demon?" The demon hunter taunts. But all of a sudden, Jinx grits his teeth tightly, exposing his fangs, as he grabs the sword that's through his chest and starts tugging on it. "Y-You're just gonna pull it out?!-" The demon hunter starts saying in surprise. But then Jinx pulls it out completely and slashes the hunter across his chest. "Fuck you!" Jinx exclaims. The hunter yells in pain and falls to the ground next to Venci.

"H-How..? That was made to make demons weak..." He asks as he groans weakly on the floor. "Now you'll both die." Jinx says. He turns towards me and Aldinach. "Master, I'm done-" He starts saying, but then he sees Aldinach pinning me against the wall with my arms above my head. "M-Master..?" He questions. I slowly look past Aldinach and smile at Jinx shyly. "Jinx! You're ok! G-Get him off of me..." I say. "ALDINACH. What are you doing to her..?" Jinx says as he raises his voice.

He lets go of me and turns towards Jinx. "Jinx, you healed! She was trying to run and help you, so I held onto her so she doesn't get hurt or killed." He explains. Jinx looks at me skeptically as if trying to confirm if that's true. I walk up towards him and nod. "Yes, it's true.. I just wanted to help you.." I say sadly. Jinx sighs. "It's ok Master, I'm fine." He says to me. "But I have one more thing to do." Jinx says as he starts looking for something. He goes to reach for something on the ground. "Ah, there it is." It's The Void..? That deadly knife.. What's he going to do with that?

He picks it up and starts walking towards the unconscious demon hunters. He kneels down towards the demon hunter man. "I'll just kill you." Jinx says as he slashes his throat with The Void. My eyes widen at the sight. "W-Why'd you have to kill him, Jinx..? He was already out..." I question. "Because he was the stronger one. I don't want him coming back even stronger." He answers with a serious expression. He walks up to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. "Ok Master?" I slowly nod. "Y-Yes..."

    Suddenly, Jinx puts both of his hands on my shoulders as he grips onto me tightly

    Suddenly, Jinx puts both of his hands on my shoulders as he grips onto me tightly. He falls on one knee. "Jinx!" I say, concerned. "Ugh... that guy said something about the sword weakening demons.. I think this is a delayed reaction, fuck..!" Jinx says as he shakes lightly and holds onto me so he doesn't fall. I grab onto him, but I stumble slightly since he's putting a lot of his heavy weight on me. "A-Are you ok?! You're worrying me.!" I ask as I look at him concerned. "I-I don't know.. I feel like fainting.." He answers. He's never been like this before, it kind of scares me. But before I know it, Jinx faints. He starts falling towards me and we both fall together, with him on top of me.
