Bloody Evolution | Day 2 Finale

He dashed in, activating (Sprint), breathes in to clear his mind, (Calm Mind) certainly helped with that, and then… "Flashing Strike!" He utters, moving forward 6 meters, clearing out an area of Grimm.

The sight of seeing several Grimm go flying back was a spectacle. "What the-" One of the huntsmen turned to him before getting his mind back into the fight when an Ursa Minor tried to paw at him, parrying its attack to the side and stabbing its underbelly with his katana.

"About time some reinforcements showed up!" A green clad huntress exclaimed in frustration as fires her dual pistols. "Sorry to disappoint, but I'm just a normal passerby!" None of the hunters believed Ein. Especially since he did what he just did. Especially Artie. He narrowed his eyes towards Ein, recognizing the attack he just did as a (Skill) and his outfit being made by a (System).

[DANGER! ATTACK INCOMING ON THE HOST'S 12!]

"Sitrep?!" Ein shouts out as he blocks a paw from the Ursa Major that had survived his (Flashing Strike) and…

Ein panics at the notification. "Shit!" He quickly stabs the Ursa Major in a counter before the world could respond again. "So the world can level up on the spot, but I fucking can't?! What kind of bullshit!"

[URSA MAJOR HAS BEEN STRUCK ON A RESISTED AREA]

[57 WIND DAMAGE HAS BEEN AFFLICTED]

A hit, yet still no kill, just a knockback. Why is this thing so much more armored than the ones in the show?! Not even just the stat, but its body in general was much more armored, with bone plates all over its body. Now that he noticed it, looks like all the other Grimm he recognized were in the same vein of being much more armored than the Grimm he knew from the few volumes of the show he watched.

Was this also an effect of the Grimm's level up?

"The Grimm's only increasing in number! Tch- And reinforcements are coming in T-Minus 20 minutes!" The katana huntsman dodges out of the way, causing the opposing Alpha Creep to stumble, giving opportunity for the katana huntsman to strike, killing it in one shot.

Suddenly, the Grimm start to spasm in place. Every orifice of the Grimm horde began to emit an ominous, dark smoke. It was somewhat reminiscent of the physical forms of Grimm souls, but more corrupted. Evil.

"What now?!" The dual pistol huntress exclaimed in frustration. Before they could act, the black smoke started to clutter towards the Grimm's respective 'weapon', so to speak, such as teeth and claws.

"This is our chance!" The dual pistol huntress exclaimed as her dual pistols shifted into nunchucks, rushing towards the spasming Grimm. Ein tried to follow suit, but was stopped by Artie. "Just watch…" The huntress and a couple civilians rush the Grimm. The katana huntsman remained still too as the huntress ran in recklessly, but the black smoke smacked them away. 

The civilians were knocked out, and the huntress was knocked into a tree, heavily injuring her. Some of the support went out of the gate to retrieve their injured and unconscious comrades.

The remaining civilians' minds became riddled in anxiety. Even Ein and Artie, though in their case, it had recognition added on top of anxiety. "So it's begun…" Artie looks at Ein. Even though Ein didn't turn his head towards Artie, he still understood what he meant to say.

'You're a (Host), aren't you?'

Ein simply nods his head. "Get ready, kid."

[THE WORLD HAS DETECTED THAT YOU (THE HOST OF REBIRTH) POSSESS A GREATER THREAT THAN ANTICIPATED. YOU (HOST OF REBIRTH) HAVE BECOME A TIER 2 EXISTENCE.

ALL STATUS EFFECTS ENHANCED.]

Artie and Ein look at their respective notifications. While Artie was just clicking his tongue, muttering to himself. Something about "Damned Remnant…" Meanwhile, Ein was in disbelief of the implication. That's was less than 25% of their power? It seems like their power and stats are two separate parts of their strength as well.

How many times will he die by the time he's done with this accursed journey?

The black smoke finally finished materializing and solidifying. The newly evolved Grimm growled at the remaining combatants. Ein could already see what power was unsealed within them.

They were varied power ups, with each different species of Grimm getting a different, equally threatening element. The Beowolves' claws and teeth became covered and overtaken by rock, root, moss, and other earthen materials.

Meanwhile, the Ursai's paws and chest were engulfed in violent flames, running wild and burning the surroundings around it, but the Majors were different as they had a light blue lightning emitting from their fangs.

The creeps were different, in that the entirety of their legs were encased in stone, rock, and ore, but their mouths were drooling an dangerous acid that melted the ground on contact. A dual elemental Grimm.

Finally, the last of the horde, the flying Razorwings, flew over their heads like a murder of crows. With every flap of their wings, the tempest followed. Their tails were replaced instead with a constant slipstream of wind.

The obvious reaction was there. Fear from the civilians, who got little training outside of aura control. They didn't even have their semblances unlocked. From the katana huntsman, and Ein, it was anxiety. Will they really be able to hold out until backup arrives? Artie however, looks calm, even in a situation like this.

Even without the system, he, alongside basically every other person, barring maybe the huntsman and Artie, could tell that the evolved Grimm were completely out of their league.

The two opposing sides were at a standstill. A silence so palpable it felt like you could drop a pin and hear it make noise. 

Until the tension broke. The horde rushed in at breakneck pace. Artie was alerted. His calm demeanor broke in favor of a more commanding tone. "Shit! Everyone but the kid, Ryo, and I! Retreat and evacuate! We're not waiting for reinforcements anymore!" The civilians wanted to argue, Ein saw their angered scowls, but they knew better than not to trust this man.

Artie and Ryo weren't former legendary huntsmen for nothing.

"Wh-What about the kid?!" One of the civilians in the supporting squadron raised a valid question, but Artie's glare shut him up promptly. 

And so they retreated into the gates of Domremy in a rush. Just as the Grimm were finally close enough to attack. The Grimm were smart enough to realize the real threats of the situation, as most of them targeted Artie and Ryo.

Despite the boosted stats, both of them were still one shotting even the Ursa Majors "So, what's with the kid, Arth?! Finally had a lady in your life?!" He asked, laughing like it was just a joke. He blocks an attack from one of the Grimm with the sheath of his katana, then he knocks it back with ease and points the opening of the sheath onto the parried flaming Ursa Minor. A massive blast of energy came out of the sheath's opening, killing multiple Grimm.

"Shut it, Scarlet! He's a (Host) like us!" He says, touching one of the gems embedded in his minigun. The minigun began to change in hue as it revved up, and instead of normal bullets, dust infused bullets were instead shot out. Lightning elemental damage was dealt all throughout the battlefield, stunning any Grimm that was shot.

Just because the two of them were the main targets however, doesn't mean there weren't Grimm rushing at him. For the first time in a while, he's had to use his brain again. He couldn't just rely on his Agility stat.

[DANGER! ATTACK INCOMING ON THE HOST'S 4 AND 9!]

He slides under an Ursa Major and an Alpha Beowolf that were about to hit him from bothsides, making them hit eachother.

"Gyah!" He screams in pain of the air barrage before digging (A. Beowolf Gauntlets) into the ground to stop himself from moving further. He feels like his soul got destroyed!

Well, it did in the most literal sense.

He coughs up blood. It be his internal organs. He wipes off the blood off his mouth to look up the the sky, seeing the Razorwings. While he was distracted, the Alpha Creep ran up to kick him again. Before that happened though, it got shot by a (Fire Bolt). One that's clearly much stronger than his own.

It was his fellow (Host), who casted a fireball towards the Alpha Creep. "Thanks for the support!" Ein shouts out to the girl, albeit with a struggle considering the pain in his soul. The girl simply nods before going to where Artie and Ryo are and supporting them as well, distracting stray minor Grimm.

(Galepierce) buzzes in his hand. It's telling him to let it fight the Razorwings to allow him to focus on the real battle. Ein nods in understanding before throwing it at the group of Razorwings and allowing (Galepierce) to take flight.

[(GALEPIERCE) IS ACTING ON IT'S OWN.]

The Alpha Beowolf from before rushes him once again, Ursa Major following suit. Looks like the Alpha Beowolf survived the burn, albeit barely. It was basically charcoal.

Normally, it'd be difficult to fight against the two. Even with all the buffs he has at the moment

If he were normal, that is.

"A power that travels through the speed of light…" He chants. Clouds form overhead as rain begins to pour down. The Alpha Beowolf finally was in range to attack him. It stabs its claw unto his direction, but he dodges just slightly out of the way, wasting no movement, and simply jabs the burnt wolf.

"O, Holy Thunder. Heed my call…" Dead. He didn't need to overkill. In this situation, he can't care about the rewards. He doesn't have the durability or the power to do so.

He sees the Ursa Major running towards him. The rain continues to downpour, yet no rain touches the Grimm, as it simply evaporates from the heat of its body. It was pretty far from him. He equips his (Beowolf Longbow) and arrows, shooting precisely towards the Ursa's nose. One of its weakspots. He lets the bow guide his hand. He readies… Aims… The Ursa dodges to the left, but Ein expected that. The bow told him so. Then fire.

"Appear before me to strike true all those who oppose me." As the chant continued, an electric current ran through the gauntlet. The power of the bow propels the arrow forwards with an unprecedented speed. It ripples through the air.

And bullseye.

Didn't kill, of course. It wasn't meant to. The Ursa Major staggered a bit. Good. He bought himself time to finish the spell. "For it is through me, lightning shall reign, Lightning Spear." He raises his hand upwards. And a lightning bolt struck him with a loud boom. The Ursa Major recovered from its staggered state just in time to see Ein, holding the thunder bolt in his hand. And with a mere flick, the spear of thunder strikes the Ursa Major. In spite of its electric nature, it couldn't resist the power of the lightning, frying it instantly.

Both threats down. He felt the power of (Giant's Equal) leave his body as the powerful foe was defeated. "Pretty impressive, Edgy." The girl went back to him. "I thought you would've needed some help, glad to know I was mistaken." Ein chuckles at her admittedly rude comment. "Rude, but fair. This outfit does look pretty edgy."

[DANGER! ATTACK INCOMING FROM HOST'S 6!]

He didn't worry about that. After all, it was about time (Galepierce) came back to him, but before that, it stabbed right through the Beowolf behind him.

"Didn't think to warn me?" Ein raised his eyebrow and tilted his head, looking at her judgmentally. He extends his hand to the side as (Galepierce) lands exactly in his hand. "You think I don't know about that weapon of yours? Anyone who didn't notice it flying in the air is either blind or an idiot." She says before she equips what looks like a spellbook. Though it really looks more like it's simply floating in front of her. "Besides, we've both got a problem right now."

She's right. Ein looks over his shoulder. A horde of Grimm awaited both of them. "Looks like they recognize us as threats now?" "About damn time." Ein and the girl look at eachother and nodding. Ein spins around to face the horde of evolved Grimm, both of Alpha and Minor variants. Then, the horde charged at them. Yet neither of them seem impressed.

The battle begun between the (Host)s and the horde. The way they fought, they fit together like puzzle pieces. The girl watched his back and Ein watched hers.

…

…

…

They've fought continuously for minutes, smiling with glee. He's already run out of potions, barring (Frostbite Elixer). He thought they were too expensive to waste here. For once, combat didn't leave him with a sense of dread. Even the ones where he overpowered the enemies, those weren't necessarily 'fun' for him. Of course, there was still the looming threat of death. Their teamwork wasn't 100% perfect. He still got hit every now and then, as did she.

In fact, they were both bleeding out. Their auras have repaired and broken again and again, their STP and MPs were running out. They were both almost out of gas. Yet they kept smiling. Yet they didn't know why. Ein was sure of one thing.

She was admirable. She didn't fear death like he did. Ein found comfort in that. Maybe it was due to her lack of fear of death that he too, felt less afraid. Even after all the pain.

"Hah.. Hah… Hey, you still have fuel left in ya', right?" She says as she pants in mental exhaustion. Probably from her MP being drained so much. "Heh… Haha…" A mix of panting and laughter came from him. "Obviously…" He says before popping his neck.

"Good… hah… Good…" She managed to pant out before starting another long cast spell. A good sign for what he needed to do. 

He rushes in, distracting many of the Grimm to attack him. He commands his scarf to (Beo-Whip), sending it out to grab an Ursa Major. "Time to wreck this bitch!" He says, before controlling (Beo-Whip) to whirl around, sweeping a large area of Grimm and killing them all instantly. At a hefty STP cost.

That attack always leaves him winded. It left him open to attacks. It's a good thing that he didn't use it while battling solo, or else he probably would've died again already.

[DANGER! ATTACK INCOMING ON THE HOST'S 4, 5, 7, and 8!]

Thankfully, he's not alone. The Razorwings that dove towards him in an attempt to capitalize off of his fatige were blasted with shards of ice. They were quick cast spells that did water damage. He wonders how much INT she has to be able to do such strong magic attacks.

"Phew, thanks!" He says, recovering from the temporary fatigue. "Don't get too happy! My long cast isn't done yet! Hold for a bit more!" She scolds him playfully. "I gotcha, no need to get your knickers in a twist!" An Ursa Minor was about attack her with its fiery paws. Thankfully, she isn't alone either. (Galepierce) stabbed down right through its tough exterior.

"Stop gawking too! You're about to be attacked!" She warns him. Thankfully, it wasn't too late, as he was able to block the Alpha Creep's acidic bite.

At last. She said her long cast spell's last word. It's ready "Alright, it's done! Get back!" She had both of her hands raised into the air. Above her was a massive fireball. It was sort of reminiscent of a spirit bomb from Dragon Ball, but red. Ein of course, does NOT want to get hit by that, so he does as he's told.

What followed next was a spectacle. A huge explosion occurred, basically everything in the blast radius was completely incinerated. "Jeez… I need to raise my INT." Ein says, honestly impressed at the magic skill. "I made that spell myself. Took a few days of studying the arcane, but now that I got to test it out? Worth it."

In the distance, Artie and Ryo stare at the two (Host)s. "Ah… Young love…" Ryo says in false bliss, to which Artie rolls his eyes. "What? I'm right." The truth is that Ein and the girl had been at it for minutes on end. In reality, most of the horde had already been cleared out. They were simply too busy bickering and fighting alongside each other.

"You think we should let them know that, you know, we're done on our end?" Artie keeps his mouth shut for a bit as the two teenagers bicker and laugh. "Nah. Let them enjoy themselves. They're gonna be the future (Conqueror)s, after all. Let's them enjoy life."

As stray Grimm that weren't even part of the original horde flocked towards the two teenagers, they once again got ready for battle. Artie simply smiled softly. Though he did notice the glare at the back of his head. He sighs. "Yes, Ozpin's been rubbing off on me, I know." Ryo snorts. "Good thing you're aware."

…

Neither Ein or the girl knew how much time passed since they started fighting, but when they noticed the Bullhead fleet arrive on the scene, they both breathed sigh of relief. "About damn time." They both said at the same time.

"Jinx." Ein says teasingly, causing the girl to chuckle and punch him in the shoulder playfully. "Screw you…" The girl pauses, trying to think what his name was. "Uh… Did we ever give each other our names?" Ein blinks once. Then twice. Then realization hit. "Oh… No, we didn't." He responded awkwardly. He'd think that after all that fighting, they'd at least get some sort of identity. He scratches the back of his head in embarrassment, but introduces himself anyway. "I'm Ein Valestein." He leans back, finally not being able to expend more energy than he already did, fighting for an hour straight. "And I'm Luna Chiel." She follows his lead.

The dark clouds finally clear. Artie swears the clouds first started to clear so perfectly so that it opened up to have the sun shine on them in particular.
