Bsd meets beast Bsd

Chapter 9 - (chapter 1 part 2 in novel)

Nighttime rendered the seaside warehouse district the darkest place in theworld. Neither streetlights nor moonlight reached this pitch-black abyss sodark you couldn't even see your own hand in front of you.Just then, several screams rang out. 

"Somebody, help!" 

The sudden shout startled many members and caused some to even curse. 

"Ahhh! Stay back!" 

"Help me! Please...! Anybody!"

"Who's that?" Gin asked and just as Beast Akutagwa was about to answer, multiple shouts of "NO SPOILERS" came thus he had no option but to remain silent. 

Their simultaneous cries were reminiscent of a battle hymn, with thesounds of something breaking, shattering, and a sticky substance splatteringacross the floor serving as the musical accompaniment.And yet, none of these noises could disturb the silence outside of thewarehouse district. Every single sound was absorbed by the dense, heavydarkness like a sponge.They were in a spacious warehouse used for storing imported goods.Inside were countless wooden boxes stacked on shelves all the way to theceiling. The pitch-black sky of the new moon loomed cruelly over theskylight on the building's high ceiling.

"Isn't that the one near port mafia?" Chuuya asked.

"Then I guess we'll be seeing the Jinko now." Akutagawa replied.  

"Stop! Stay back! Stay back! No...! I don't wanna die! No, no, no!Don't do this! I—"

"Yeah right plead with the port mafia members. I'm sure they would spare your life." Tachihara scoffed while the others snorted at that. 

One by one, the screams vanished into the abyss as gunfire createdsporadic bursts of light. The flickering clearly illuminated the individuals'faces with each shot. They were mercenaries—a fully armed platoon ofover twenty seasoned soldiers who were frantically trying to escape thedarkness. 

"Don't shoot! You'll hit one of our men!" shouted a soldier. "Bulletsdon't work on him! Switch to armor-piercing shells! Use your tacticalflashlights to locate the target!" 

"I can't! The enemy will find me if I turn on my flashlight!" 

"The enemy can already see us! If we don't find them soon, we're allgonna—"

"Make this much noise and you won't even need to turn on the flashlight for the enemy to find you." Chuuya snapped.  

Those were the last words he ever spoke. His voice suddenly stoppedand was replaced by the sound of his throat being slit. The air whistled outof his lungs in a silent scream. Another scream echoed from behind thegroup, causing them all to turn around.It was a white beast.

"So it is Jinko." Akutagawa said with slight disgust while the others just shook their heads being already used to those two fighting. 

The creature, practically the size of a small car, was on top of one of thesoldiers. It sank its enormous jaws into the soldier's throat. 

"He's here! Fire! Fire!!"

"He could literally grow a leg when dissected. How are those tiny bullets gonna do him any harm?" Higuchi wondered out loud. 

Everyone fired their gun at the beast in unison, but it twisted its head,snapping the victim's neck in half before nimbly leaping back into thedarkness, leaving the soldier's body behind to be pelted by countlessbullets. The firing soon stopped, and darkness returned.

"Ugh brutal. I can't believe that its the same Atsushi." Tanizaki said then remembering that the Beast Atsushi was also here he apologized quickly. 

"No offence taken." was the reply he received.
