The Dark Soulslayer

1. The Night Assassin

A dark shadow dashes through the forest, silent as the wind. The dark shape moves swiftly and avoids the moonlight. The shadow stops and sniffs the air with a sense of smell like an animal's. An animal searching relentlessly for its prey. Golden yellow cat-like eyes look to the east and the shadow starts running towards the scent.
A clearing was the source and the shadow stopped in the center. It sniffed the air and immediately jumped back. A big shape dropped from the sky and it's clawed foot stomped where the shadow was standing. The shape had a soft glow in the moonlight. The shape was a 10 foot tall wolf on its hind legs with bits of spiked metal armor on its shoulders and chest. Red eyes glowed, with its sharp teeth bared.
Despite being half its size, the shadow faces the monster and it reaches inside it's coat with both hands. It pulls out two silver pistols, one in each hand reflecting the moonlight. The wolf growled and pulled from behind it's back a long steel pole with two curved blades, resembling a double bladed scythe.
The shadow rushed toward the wolf shooting both guns aimed at it's chest. Before any of the bullets collided with the monster, the wolf spun the scythe expertly and the blades blocked the bullets. The shadow jumped high in the air, over the monster and put the guns in their holsters in midair. As the shadow landed behind the wolf, he reached over his shoulder and drew a long thin black sword from it's sheath and turned around to slash at the beast's back.
The wolf howls in pain as dark blood drips from the long cut. It whips around to strike with it's weapon and the shadow's blade meets the scythe. The two struggle to get an edge in one another. The shadow holds the blade against the scythe and reaches into his coat with his left hand to pull one of his guns out. The beast sees this and knocks the shadow back so the bullet strikes the beast's armor.
The beast tries to attack but as it swung the scythe the shadow jumped over the blade and shot the monster's chest. The shadow then backed away as the monster howled and for into a stance.
The beast glared at it's enemy and prepared to finish him. The shadow's sword's edges glowed with fire and the shadow dashed toward the monster. The wolf spun it's weapon and threw it. The figure dodged the blades narrowly and struck the beast in it's throat and slashed the blade down to it's left side.
Dark red blood gushed from the lethal wound. The wolf howled in pain as it burned and it fell to the ground. The body burned in flames of not orange and yellow but black and red. The flames on the sword extinguished and the shadow put it back in its sheathe. The body of the monster burned and then cracked like glass and vanished as it broke into shards.
The shadow wiped sweat from his brow and looked at the moon. "That's another demon down. Another soul free." The boy walked to exit the forest as a orb of energy vanished from where the monster disappeared from.
As the boy reached the edge of a cliff at the end of the forest, he looked down the long fall and then stepped off the cliff's edge.
