All was silent as you readied yourself for her next move. There she stood, metres on top of the two of you as her fingertips danced in the air elegantly almost like she was summoning something. In a flash, a long staff appeared by her side. Your mouth was slightly ajar at the sight. You hated to admit it but the weapons from in the 5th Dimensions were beautifully crafted. Small vines of black ivy could be seen encasing the body of the staff all the way up to the top. They stopped and arched up to form some sort of point. The vines kept a glowing purple gem in place with two smaller ones hovering around it. The glowing of the magical stone could be seen even under the bright rays of the sun. The staff was elegant and somewhat matched the way the female standing in front of you held herself. 

The female smashed the bottom of her staff lightly onto the white wall, snapping you out of your trance. You watched as her gaze traced the pathway leading to the exit of the alleyway with only one thing in mind. Her tongue glided across the bottom of her lip and before you knew it, she was now hovering directly over the two of you with her staff underneath and keeping her afloat.

You had never fought against a magical from the Underworld before other than demons and you knew for sure this girl was not a demon. She held no features which you could use to make connections back to the vile creatures of the Underworld. So you didn't know how your weapons would react once you inflict a wound. Jungkook, however, would be fine. Your weapon was of a much lower class than his or in fact any of the Seven Virtues. Their weapons could be compared to the ones used in the heavens. Yours was only created out of metal found in the Overworld and only drew energy from the spiritual energy around you. Each one of the Seven Virtuous weapon's was relics of old times. Each bestowed with the pure soul and power of the Seven Virtuous Archangels themselves - that was if what Jimin had told you was correct.

"Jungkook, (Y/n), do you have a visual of the infiltrator?" You hear Taeyong say, tone laced with urgency. The two of you immediately sprinted after the female who was now gliding her way through the alleyway on top of you.

"Yes, what's up Taeyong?" You reply, breath uneven due to the pace the two of you were running at.

"Make sure they don't come anywhere near us, the citizens are crowding and making it difficult for us to push past."

"On it." Pulling his gun out of the holster, Jungkook aimed the barrel of the gun at the moving figure and pulled the trigger. Sadly, it did not hit her as she quickly changed directions to stop herself from flying straight into a lamp post. However, she did see the laser bullet rebound off of the pole and this caused her to turn around.

"Pesky demon hunters." Turning around to face the two of you, the female was taken by surprise when Jungkook began rapid fire. To prevent Jungkook's bullets from hitting her, she jumped off her staff and landed on the floor with a thud. She then proceeded to spin her staff around in circles, before banging it onto the floor, within an instant, a wine coloured forcefield made of a large silhouette which heavily resembled a fox surrounded her figure.
