Chapter 23: To the City Centre (2)

Kaan saw Oscar leaving with Dean and Thar. Dean looked around a few times as they were heading but Thar and Oscar were very natural in their movements as they got closer to their enemies.

Kaan walked behind Liam as the hunt was about the begin. He and Ashley had not much to do but they might need their help in case things got out of control, so it was better to be on guard.

It didn't take much for Dean's to reach the enemy. The guy in a police uniform checked them head to toe and he put out his gun as he did to all groups passing by and thought they'd got the message like the others. He was not happy that they were passing them this close but didn't do anything other than that, he had already lots of problems on his hand with this crazy woman.

Liam was eyeing the enemy with the scope of his gun, waiting for Oscar's to get closer as they could and then the three bullets left with a quiet sound from the gun equipped with the suppressor.

The first shot was a success as it pierced the police's hand holding the gun, the gun fell to the ground and he groaned in pain; the second one was aiming his head but he was able to dodge it. The last one was moving towards the head of the woman who was torturing the girl but a wall that was creat with blood appeared on the back of her head and stopped the bullet.

With the signal Dean quickly dashed towards the woman who was holding the girl. He used his own ability to move faster and along with Oscar's ability to make him faster, he nearly suppressed the limits of humanity and felt the strain of his speed as he moved towards the woman. He was in front of the woman in seconds and attacked her with his sword.

The woman was perplexed by Dean's speed and quickly let go of the girl by tossing her to the ground and tried to stop the incoming attack but Dean was simply too fast right now so his blade cut her arm. When Dean tried to attack once again, this time the blood on the ground raised and created a wall around her once again and saved her from the incoming attack.

The policeman ran towards his ally in a rush to help her defend herself against Dean. He saw two other people getting closer so they needed to retreat quickly.

After the blood wall stopped Dean's attack it quickly changed its shape and charged towards Dean like a sword. Dean quickly backstepped and rather than attacking the woman he decided to attack the policeman who got closer. His sword quickly descended towards the guy's chest but the policeman narrowly managed to prevent the attack with his sword.

As his attack was a failure Dean's stepped back and dodged the incoming blood-blade attack. He decided to retreat for now towards captives and stay in defence until Thar and Oscar got here to protect them.

With this opening, the woman and man put a distance between them and observed the group in front of them. If it was only a swordsman they would be able to take care of it but he had already two other people with him. He was already a threat to them alone and with this support, they wouldn't be able to defeat them and they also had a gunner not too far away. They needed to quickly retreat from this place.

As he come to the conclusion he turned towards the woman he was stuck up with because of that damned perverse guy they called their leader. He had already regretted his decision to join these maniacs but he had already taken this road so there was nothing he could do for now.

"We should retreat quickly."

"Retreat? When the real fun only just started?"

The woman said as she licked the blood coming out of her arm. She had a wicked smile as she found what she was looking for. Seeing her like this he felt disgusted once again, this woman was just a crazy mother-fucker who only thought about her fucked-up Lord and tortured everyone they could defeat and killed them if they were not suitable for their leader. At that moment the policeman made up his mind about leaving this group as quickly as possible but he was a little too late for that.

"Then what are we…?!"

His words were cut down in the middle of the sentence as he felt an indescribable pain in his chest. He saw the woman's hand pierce through his chest and when she dragged her hand his heart was in her embrace.

"You've served well, our Lord will not forget about your sacrifice."

She said in a caring manner, in contrast to her words she didn't give a thought about him from the beginning as he eyed his new prey. The man had many things he wanted to say but there was no time for them.

'I'm sorry.'

Was the only thing he could think as he fell to the ground without any movement.

"Now I can start the fun."

She licked fresh blood coming out of the warm heart and with a grin on her face as she looked at her new prey and shivered in pleasure with the thought of tasting their blood.

Dean looked at the captives that they's had saved. They look at Dean's group with hope in their eyes and then looked at the woman who looking at their side with a smile and once again they felt the fear.

"You don't have to worry, we'll take care of her."

Dean wanted to assure them to stop their suffering and his words were kinda successful as they looked a little relaxed now, accepting the fact they were saved.

"You think you saved them?"

Dean returned towards the woman when he heard her lively voice. He saw the policeman on the ground, the blood flowing from his chest was creating a little blood puddle under him.

"You must be happy, right? You've done the right thing?"

She began to walk towards them, she had a weird way of walking and gestures; she was acting like a child.

"You're just a fool."

She began to laugh with a high-pitched voice and everyone felt an eerie feeling. The two captives other than the girl she was torturing began to get paler and fell to the ground with distorted expressions on their face. The girl tried to do something for her friends but she couldn't do anything other than cry as she watched them trembling on the ground with pain.

In seconds after the woman's words, the blood began to ooze all over their body as they screamed in the agony, the blood began to move towards the woman slowly as she continued to laugh.

Dean looked at the girl trying to stop what was happening as she hugged her friend but there was nothing she could do to stop what was happening. He tried to cut the blood but it was a futile attempt in the end. Seeing the girl looking at her with a desperate look on her face as she cried and hearing the woman's laughter, he couldn't take it anymore and charged towards the woman while he was shouting in an outraged manner.

He was angry because he couldn't understand how could someone do something like this. Why would they hurt and kill people? Why they were accepted to get this low to receive power? Then he realized that he would not be able to understand how much he thought about this because he was not someone like them.

He wanted them to also feel the pain that they caused the others and right he just wanted to make his wish real by tearing her up.

Kaan was mesmerized by the scene happening in front of him. Watching the blood dance through the air as if it had if it was alive both felt sacred and eerie at the same time.

Kaan saw that Liam tried to shoot the woman before she collected the blood but the blood from the policeman began to move around her as if it was a shield and stopped the bullets. Seeing that things are getting out of hand Liam decided to step up.

"You take care of the zombies around, Emily you come with me."

He ordered Kaan and Ashley as he began to move towards the woman. Emily gave a look at them as if they had something to say but seeing them drawing their weapons and heading towards the incoming zombies, she followed behind Liam.

Kaan was happy that he didn't have to do much and also this way he could collect XP yet he always kept an eye on the fight going on as for Ashley, she was just following the orders.

When Liam and Emily reached the scene Dean was in a frenzy as he attacked the woman again and again; his attacks were fast and strong but the blood began to create an armour around her body only leaving an opening in her mouth and her eyes so none of his attacks was able to hit her. The blood armour was also attacking Dean after every time Dean's attacks met with the armour but Dean was simply too fast to be hit by its attacks.

'He is good but he will not be able to keep this up long.'

The woman thought happily. She knew it was an ability that he was using for a while and it wouldn't be long until its effects would wear off and for her, the time was not something she had to be aware of.

'It looks like I'll be able to offer our Lord something worthy of his time.'

She was really joyful that she encountered these guys. It was what she was waiting for, from the moment her Lord bestowed his powers on her. She smiled under her mask as a blood sword appeared on her hand as she charged Dean, it was time for a good show for her Lord.

Liam observed for a few seconds the fight that was happening in front of him after he came next to Oscar and Thar along with Emily. Dean was doing well but Liam knew he would not be able to maintain this performance for a long while. Thar was also thinking the same so he was going to step into the fight to help him but he was stopped by Liam.

"You'll only become a burden, you are not fast enough to dodge the attacks of the armour."

Liam said with a cold-blooded voice as he continued to observe the fight. Thar was sure that he would be able to keep up with them but decided to listen to Liam for a while.

Liam saw that whenever Dean attacked the woman the blood was condensed where his sword was hitting and making the blood armour weaker on the other sides.

"Emily, can you control the blood?"

He asked as a plan was being created in his mind.

"No."

"What about my bullets? Can you add more strength to them?"

Emily stopped for a while before answering.

"Yes, I never tried but I think I'll be to do it."

She would not be able to do something like this if she hadn't chosen a path of her skill but now her control over the objects was more absolute and easier to control her power. She was trusting her ability to control.

"Okay then get ready."

Liam said and aimed his gun towards the woman and watched their fight from the scope. Emily took a deep breath and focused on the gun, getting ready to use her power.

The fight between the woman and Dean was fierce. The ground was painted with blood traces of their fight. Dean was mostly able to dodge the incoming attack but not all of them. He was hit on his right leg and the arm he was holding the sword but they were not that deep and he was not thinking about stepping back until his sword pierced the armour and he erased that wicked smile from her face.

Dean knew that the effect of Oscar's ability was coming to an end and his own ability 'Feet of the wind' also didn't have too much time left. He had shouted as he once again lunged with his sword, he felt his muscles getting contracted tightly as he attacked with all of his power once more before Oscar's ability come to an end.

When his attack hit, the blood quickly rushed towards his sword but it was not able to stop his attack with this amount now. For the first time, he saw that the woman's smile disappeared for a moment and more blood rushed towards the sword and absorbed the power of the attack.

'I'll make you not able to smile ever again.'

He smiled towards her angrily as he remembered the girl looking at him with teary eyes and in desperation while holding her friend whose blood was absorbed by this woman. He shouted once again and pressed his sword stronger.

Liam saw the opportunity and got ready.

"Now."

It was the only signal he gave to Emily as he shoot two bullets. This time the bullets were enchanted with Liam's ability and they moved fastly in the air as the wind began to swirl around them, making them faster and faster as they moved.

Emily's eyes were focused on the bullets moving in the air. She felt their presence moving in the air, she felt how the wind was embracing them as they tried to reach their target. She felt as if the bullets were in her hands right now but it was so hard to create a stable connection so she didn't waste time and used her powers to give more momentum to them.

Dean saw that woman try to let go of him and create a blood wall in front of her as she turned her head towards Liam's after she heard the gunshot noise but she wasn't fast enough. The blood wall she tried to create was too slow to appear as the bullets moved through it and then they pierced through her blood armour, which was focused on stopping Dean's attack, like a paper and hit her on the head.

With the power of the impact, she flew to the ground as the blood surrounding her lost its shape and scattered around her body like it was her coffin.
