88 Hunter Killer (1/2)
Herald already has his mind set up on what was he going to do, without telling it Ether knows! Because they're now connected, his silence means his approval on it.
Herald catches the skinny guy from behind and without having anyone notice it, he puts him on his shoulder and takes a quick turn towards a little street where it looked like there won't be many people in there.
That wasn't just it, Herald ceized a small bullding and jumps from the ground right towards the top.
the building was small, but that is impossibly impossible to do for any normal human...
It's clear he's now relying on his Qarin's power!!
Always a sigh of relief when he doesn't let him down, he didn't for quite some time now!
Maybe it was just about Herald getting powerful enough to handle it.
The whole process took about 5 seconds!!
The guy didn't even know what is going on, he just found himself standing in front of Herald, on top of a small building.
”...Wh...What.. Where am I???” He asks calmly!
Herald. ”Don't panic! I know how you feel...You must be in great pain lately, am i right?”
The guy keeps looking careless and weirdly calm.
”Pain?...What Pain?
I am alright...
How did you bring me here?”
Herald. ”I mean the pain in here.”
*He points towards the young man's heart*
”Here? Aah....Hhahaaha.....
So What are you?
A saving angel that came to protect me?
Or maybe the God of death, coming to release me of it?”
Herald. ”I am none of that, but i'll help you, just stand still and don't make any unexpected moves.”
Herald gets closer towards the guy, and puts his hand on his forehead.
”Ether! Now is your turn.”
Before Ether could start undoing the curse.
The guy punches Herald straight to the face!!!
Herald did not see it coming because he didn't use his screen powers at the moment, he still somehow can't simultaneously do it all the time, it exerts great energy from him.
Herald gets some steps back and holds his punched nose. The moment he looked again towards the guy.
The devil who casted a curse on the guy, appeared!!
Right behind him, with a smile that is rightly called, DEMONIC!
He spoke with a voice so growly and loud.
”I KNEW YOU WERE ONE OF THEM THE MOMENT I LOOKED AT YOU!
HOW NOBLE!
TRYING TO SAVE SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!”
Herald gets worried sick, but Ether calms him down.
”Herald!! keep your focus, do not fear him because he feeds on that.
I can tell he's a regular demon, don't worry too much!”
Herald tries to keep his composure and replies.
”Yes...What of it you disgusting creature?
Trying to cast curses on people because you have been cursed already?”
”HAHAHAHHAHAHAH!! IF YOU ONLY KNEW THAT YOU HUMANS ARE MORE CURSED THAN WE EVER ARE!!
ANYWAYS, DESTROYING YOU WOULD BE FUN!
I HAVENT FOUGHT IN A LONG TIME...”
The guy though, looks confused but still, he talks with a sad melancholic tone, the curse was already clear on him.
”Who...You're talking to?”. He can't see the devil!
The latter gets quickly inside of his body, and possess it!
Herald, being very unexperienced about this, did not know that it was better to prevent that from happening!
”Hmmmmmm.... Not the strongest of bodies but it should work!”
The guy keeps extending his muscles and joints in a fucked up way, almost breaking his bones and contorting them!
Ether. ”That is body possession, when a human gets in a very weak state of spiritual existence, it becomes an easy task for demons to take control of it, whether from afar or just like this case.
Also it adds up more to their power, they feed on the human's negative energy.
I should've told you this before, but now it will be quite a task to try and complete this work.”
Herald asks him for a favor. 'Can you...not come here yourself?
This is an emergency!”
Ether. ”I can't, it isn't easy to leave our world to your world, and i may encounter a lot of demons my way myself!
I can only assist you from here.”
Herald then accepts the idea that this is his job to do, although he doesn't have a set plan. But he'll create one in the course of upcoming events!
”What is it? You're too scared you can't move an inch?
Should've known better than to get on a demons business if you're just a begginner.”
The devil rushes towards Herald, trying to take him by the throat.
But he dodges it! and grabs his arms from behind to paralise his movement.
The fucked up thing is the guy could easily turn back his body to the front, as if he has no bones to be broken.
”HEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEE! Got you!” He punches Herald with his head.
Ether. ”That cannot work Herald, you're afraid to hurt the man's body, but it's not even his at this point. The only way to let him out is to suffocate the Demon until he can't maintain the possession.”
Herald. ”So i have to go all in on it?
Won't that leave him with wounds that may kill him afterwards.”
