Ch 1.4 Lycantrophe

"Really.. They couldn't even take a single village with that huge number they had." A woman sighed, entering the fray as she slowly walks. "Humans are still frail creatures."

She examined the area as the fire reflected in her glasses. It was obvious that she was in a whole new level as her garments were different. She poised an aura of strength and excellence without even trying as the monsters, Asuka, Ayumu, Vesper, Lunaria and Seris gazed, steady on their guards.

Her clothes were a white jacket with a fur collar above a black top, a white short skirt designed with a line of blue by the end, and a pair of black gloves with golden cuffs along with a pair of black shoes accompanied by white socks, a golden belt tied by her waist and a silver hair pin by her head.

Though those in black showed great strength and ability, just merely looking at the girl expressed the magnitude of her strength as she didn't even yield any weapon. "Hm? There are still a few left.. You guys can handle it, they're not even worth my time." She turned her back, leaving again as the men in black replied.

"Yes ma'am!" They synced in unison.

Though with this occurance, Asuka and the rest stood with a pile of dead bodies around them. They immediately prepared themselves as the blue haired girl left, knowing that the black coated men were about to charge them.

Meanwhile, elsewhere nearby the mountains stood Vesper, all tired out as he faced of against another man in black, who was still unfazed.

Vesper was heavily breathing as he was slowly getting tired.

"What's wrong? Is that all you can do?" The man taunted. It was obvious who was winning, the man hasn't even tried to attack, nor block any damage. His movements showed his capability to follow the ebb and flow of the battle, managing to dodge every attack Vesper makes, even if Vesper moves at an outstanding speed.

"Tch." Vesper ticked, clicking his tongue as he pants heavily.

"Looks like it's time to end the show." The man mutters, standing firmly as he straightens his blade, the edge right between his eyes.

With a quick sweep, almost unseen, he flashes his blade as he quickly sheathes it. An immediate slash appears as it strikes through Vesper's chest, severely wounding him as he falls face down on the ground. "Gahk!?"

"It was a good fight. Not everybody can last against me." He flaunts, turning his back away as he faces towards the direction of the smoke rising to the air.

"W-wait.." Vesper cries, his paws digging into the ground as he tries to get himself up.

"Still alive? You're pretty durable." The man follows, looking back at the crawling Vesper. "But you can't move your body anymore, can you?" He stomps on Vesper's head, making him eat the ground.

"Brgrrb.." He mumbles, unable to speak with the ground in front of his face.

"Now lie down, and rot." The man mutters, thrusting his sword through his body and straight into the ground.

As the blood slowly flows out, he turns his back once more and heads out towards the direction of the smoke, leaving Vesper on the ground.

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard approaching slowly. A man wearing a cloak, his face covered with his scowl came. He looks around everywhere first, then looks he looks at the lying body of Vesper.

"Looks like you put up a fight. Though unfortunately, only one lycan can live. And that's not you." He mutters, removing the sword without hesitation and throws it away.

"Gahk!" Vesper reacted, his blood splattering everywhere as it stained the blade.

"You're still alive?" The man follows, staring at the lycan's crumbling body. "Well, I guess another lycan won't hurt." He adds, picking Vesper's body up, staining his clothes with his blood as he carries him at his back.

"Let go of me... What...are you... doing.." Vesper struggles, trying to break the human's hold on him. But with the little strength he has left, it ony strained his body as he falls unconcious.

"It's about time your suffering ends.. Sorry.. I'm late." He mutters once more, heading off to the forest as he follows the light of fire in the air.

Meanwhile, Asuka and her friends were still fighting against the men donned in black, crossing swords against each other as Ayumu shoots from behind, picking up the arrows from the bodies around them.

"Gaaahk!" Lunaria's shriek echoed, a blade stabbed in her stomach, letting her hang in the air as her opponent raised his sword. "Ghhhk!"

"Lunaria!" Ayumu called, shooting an arrow towards Lunaria's opponent but was blocked by another one as he kicks Asuka away. "Asuka." She runs off to her as she helps her out.

"This is bad.. Where's Vesper when you need him?!" Asuka muttered.

"Everybody... Run." Lunaria calls out, her opponent pulling his sword out from her body as she falls to the ground.

"Lu-lunaria!" They all shouted.
