Chapter 12 - 10: Werewolf Armament (2) (2/2)
His body trembled.
'Was she on the other end?'
At quick turned of his feet, he hardly kicked the ground and stormed back on the intersection path, this time he ragingly swept before the right most channel only to hear rumbles and faint scream.
After few leaps, his night vision eyes caught glimpse of a long haired human helplessly being stretched inside a hurricane manifested by a soul beast, a mantis!
Without any second thought, that slender figure immediately registered in his mind -- the sweet maiden, the keeper!
Instantly, he thrust his feet on the ground completely stopping his track. His eyebrows cuddling on a golden fur immediately furrowed.
Luminescence gleamed on his bluish eyes as he immediately activated his Innate Ability, <<Mind Call>>.
~Hang in there sweet gal!~
Gliding his left hand back, he clenched his fist to which vast of his energy channeled through until scorching fire swallowed his whole arm. And then...
” -- Zurrrryyaaaaaa!!!!”
He lashed his arm forward and delivered a full blown punch which sent the surrounding area into tremor.
Reacting to heat, the ground cracked with electric sparks snaked up to the ceiling.
Bzzzingggg!!!
A scarlet hyper beam exploded.
Looking closely, his arm almost looked like a raw rail cannon ceaselessly firing towards the hovering arthropod.
'It dogded it?'
Surprised by how the jade insect outmaneuvered his attack, intimidation immediately welled inside him.
'How dare you humiliate me in front of my maiden?!'
” -- Kuraaaaaehhh!!!”
Concentrating more energy on his arm, the scarlet flame grew even bigger. Petals of scarlet fire gracefully danced on air.
BZZZINGGGG!!!
And at last, he managed to get a hit. He could only watched how the insect lose its flight and toppled enough distance from the 'maiden'.
”Haaa... Haaa...”
Fully exhausted, white smokes puffed from his body and eventually his armament slowly dispersed into thin air as his eyes looked at it with seemingly contented feeling.
If it for his newly found 'maiden', he would not rather hesitated giving up his Sacred Blood Treasure.
Or that's what he expected to be...
His expectation no his exorbitant fantasies was immediately burned into draining disappointment when his eyes put up a painful revelation.
The keeper wasn't a sweet maiden, but actually a long haired young 'man'; above his pallid skin with countless cuts and tore clothes.
No! How long should he wait for HER to come?
Dmitri immediately controlled his reaction so as not to show his handsome desperation.
Instead, he tried lifting up the mood. He slowly approached the young 'man' and wrapped his cuts.
This way, Dmitri could rest ȧssured their closeness would smoothly sail.
Even though his mind still frustrated, there's nothing he could do.
Celebrating with arrival of the keeper was far better than sulking over his dismayed expectation.
Not until...
”...ey lad, want a hand?”
He offered his hand, but only to see the young man suddenly burst into tears.
'Eh?! W-what? Why? Did I say something wrong?'
Panic strolled inside his ċhėst, while his head were confused why did the young boy in front cried.
'Was he hurt? Did he not like my hand? Scared? Why the heck did he cried? I was just trying to help him, did I really help him? Man this is such a pain'
He scratched his head and blew a wry sigh. Maybe sniffing on this young man's self-knot should be off limits.
”Okay. Okay. I will not help you? J-just be careful not t...!”
However, before Dmitri could even finish his words, his eyes widened when he caught a glimpse of a mantis closing-in in a tremendous speed.
Matching its haste, Dmitri swiftly lashed his sword forward to fend arthropod's sneak attack.
Clang!!
Swiissshh!!!
Ear-ripping gusts blasted from the sonic impact.
”Tch! Recovered already, that was faster than I expected.”
Cold glint stroke Dmitri's eyes.
Krrrkkaaaa!!!
Dmitri got an immediate reply.
”You're a hyped one, aren't you?”
Together with a clench of his teeth, he tightened his grip on his sheathed sword
” -- Huaaahh!!!”
…and slammed it on mantis body blasting it several feet away.
”You can hit it?”
Dmitri blinked and rolled his sight towards the voice, only to see, a young 'lad' totally surprised by what he just did.
Confused by what the 'lad' asked, he just shrugged his shoulder, pulled his gaze back to the arthropod and simply answered it.
”Of course, I can hit it. Anyone can.”
”...”
But no words came out from the 'lad's mouth as though he was stuck between the moment of accepting what Dmitri said and what he believed to be.
Well, of course, from this young 'man's thoughts, he believed souls were spiritual entity without any physical materialization thus attacks would be ineffective.
Without pondering much further, Dmitri slowly kissed by anxiousness.
”Lad. Can you stand?”
Then he quickly pointed his gaze on the young 'man'.
The 'lad' was already wiping out his snot and tears, looks like he immediately caught up with the situation.
”Barely.”
The young 'man' shortly replied as he pushed himself up on his feet.
”Good. I'll buy you some time. In the meantime, you should hurry over the heart. This place might turn into a complete chaos.”
The atmosphere changed at haste, when Dmitri tensed his shoulder and put up a defensive stance.
”Heart?”
”Remember from before? The place where you probably opened your eyes, you should be safe there. By the way, what's your name?”
”Z-ziro. Ziro's my name.”
Without any hesitation, the young man blurted out and started to stride.
Same with Dmitri who quickly shot his glance towards the mantis and clenched his grasp even more, or that's what hed like to do but a slow realization hit him hard, which made his eyes snapped back towards the young 'man'.
”… w-what? Ziro? Are you telling the truth? You're Ziro? Ziro, Prince of Eleseiya, right?”
