Chapter 9 - Chapter 8: In the eyes of a beast there is only endless prey

???

West coast highway. A Desolate place freed from people. Suddenly the silence broke free a clatter of repeated footsteps, groups of men and women in suits their eyes covered with black cloth marched behind a long yellow haired figure sitting in a small wooden shrine on a wooden throne.

"Now, brothers and sisters!" she declared. "We're on our way to preach the good word!" She continued. "Let us sing as we march!" Her voice of declaration caught the ears of the believers staring at her, mouth opened wide, awed their expression synchronized with each other.

Her voice grew unsteadily driving her tone higher. "Hands together~ nurturing our fate..." She continued on. "The sacred path of martyrdom"

Then her antics flared. "We're not alone! We bravely stride forward...!"

Standing before her, a looming shadow of a teenager was revealed wearing red jeans, black shirt paired with black trench coat. Purple hair topped by a black triangular hat, covering his face with a shade of black. he hold a long wire nail on his right hand.

The yellow head raised her hand signaling to stop, her knees raised together, bending her back to see the latter, she examined. "That form of your spirit! And such vigor!" And concluded. "Could you perhaps be another 'hero' like me?!"

She stood up properly. Right arm on her chest. Her back and head bend a little, bowing in a greeting manner. And spoke. "My name is Baek hana!" She continued. "Would you like to purify the world together with me-"

Thwack!.

A long wire nail penetrated Baek hana's forehead, and she fell to the ground in a very dramatic way.

Spider cracks spread through the ground. The men and women in suits looked shocked as they all began to display bodily reactions when they saw her.

The teenager spoke with a glint in his eyes. "Why do all my opponents... Act all arrogant anyway...?" He said as he spun around a long wire nail in his hand, his left hand holding an otherworldly brick hammer.

Moments later. Baek hana raised her body to a sitting position facing the ground disappointed. "As expected, he was an enemy..." her right hand rested in the air near her forehead ready to pull the the wire nail out.

Suddenly. She shivered as she felt a chill washed through her spine and stood up. Walking to the parapet, put down her hands on the sheet metal and looked to the sky.

Her actions caught the attention of the mass along with the teen stunned. She spotted a purple light as it began to grow closer and closer. The silhouette of a black jet adorned with purple highlights become visible.

The teen who saw this as a provocation prepared with a battle stance. "Admiring the view instead of facing your enemy head on is a bad choice." He said. And charged seizing this chance. 'What ever she is planning, I must stop her now before evacuees from Seoul will become fanatics of hers."

Throwing down a few wire nails to the ground. He spat out loud. "Chain." Chains began to materialized around the nails binding down the men and women in suits.

However before it can touch their skin they merged. Coalescing into a grotesque giant worm formed from the bodies of the humans, and escaped from the tightly binding chains.

Swoosh!

The sound caught the teens attention. He looked to the far wide side, and saw a black jet. Drips of sweat fell from his face. he thought 'There is another one! If it joins her, then It will be troublesome to capture and secure her."

Then his gaze swept back to baek hana. Her face looked strange, instead of looking flat and smiling. Now her face formed the expression like a mouse in fright unable to move, being scared from the cat circling around it, while its tail waggling.

Confused. he followed her gaze only to find out that she wasn't looking at the jet at all, he frowned not understanding all. He looked up to the sky, fixing his gaze to match Baek hana and saw it.

It was a massive reptilian beast, it's ribs cage exposed, shaggy hair covering from head to tail, it's skin looked like its molting with bones protruded from its back. Three hollowed eyeless, bone like head with sharp pointy fangs.

What standed out when he first saw the sight of this beast is that its pair of wings. The supposed wings that should flap was now a long stretched winged with thrusters imbedded in it.

Soon the black jet flied past above them leaving a trail of smoke.

Suddenly Baek hana turned to move and two men in suits walked to her and their head flew into the air. Blood sprayed down from the severed head, then as if a miracle happened clouds gathered and rays of light pour from the sky and a colossal black fallen angel hanged upside down comes out.

It exhaled condensing a breath of mist concentrating as it opened its mouth forming a blue ball of energy and fired it several times to the beast.

The beast left to fend off, dodging all except missing one in the process of being hit, tearing off a piece of flesh, the beast wailed as it felt the pain across the body roaring in anger. The torn off flesh healed in a matter of seconds, seeing this the fallen angel opened its mouth again forming a blue ball of concentrated energy and blasting it off to the beast.

The beast chuckled and imitated the fallen angel and fired a similar blue ball of concentrated energy. And blasting it colliding with the other energy ball creating a strong wave of energy scattered through the air.

They both tried again and repeated it, then the face of the beast cracked and grinned, its smile wide as it laughed secretly, as expected when the wave of energy scattered again it still collides and both sides were not harmed, however hiding behind those ball of energy's came a long spiky bones.

The fallen angel unable to reach fast enought was hit multiple times and was pierced through, few seconds later it started disintegrating and the dark clouds parted.

To be continued.

Here's the new chapter and I wrote this in two days, it was hard... I tell you because I just started with struggling to come up with words and the approach I made with this chapter. To come up with this seemed a little too much for the current me, tell you something real i still write even when im stressed this night and exhausted from school, and now I'm writing this while my head hurts.

Thinking is hard for me now if I keep doing this my body will worsen lol. Good thing I don't lose consciousness in the middle of the class, but there are signs like my arms falling when I rested my head in it, my eyes falling asleep unable to prevent it unless I hear a loud sound from the teacher.

So anyway I should try and do my best and take a rest. Not to forgot I should level up my writing to remove it's consistency by reading more novels and playing word cross games to deepen my vocabulary.
