After leaving Hanekawa to safety with Shinobu. Edward walked calmly through the industrial district of the city. He kept his hands in his pockets to look cool.
While he kept all his attention around her. He didn't want to be taken by surprise by an enemy. Even knowing that Meme had planned everything, there was no certainty that his opponent would keep his word
People lie is the only thing Edward knew was true in existence. For being on the brink of death for most of his life.
He heard many lies of all kinds, from the ones that he was going to get well from the nurses and his family. Even the lies that were from people who said they would be friends with him before they found out about his illness
In the end, all the lies were something normal in his life, and he didn't think it would be any different now.
As imagined, Edward felt a strong shiver down his spine when he felt someone following him and kept his gentle smile. He continued walking towards a less busy part of town as if nothing had happened or even realized he was being followed.
Like a predator that takes its prey wherever it wants. No, Edward was different from a normal predator. He made a point of keeping his prey thinking he was in control and leading the prey into a trap.
He made a point of making the prey think he was the hunter. So when you're close enough, you can catch your prey completely unaware and unprepared for an attack
When he saw that he had arrived in a part of the city completely uninhabited. Edward smiled looking at the moonless sky showing a cruel smile with his fangs bared
"Got you" He started when he noticed his prey's heartbeat quicken and the man's breathing grow stronger.
"Goodbye Guillotine" He smiled as he put all his strength into his feet and jumped
*bang*
a shock wave broke the entire floor around him and Edward disappeared.

Guillotine Cutter was a veteran supernatural hunter. He hunted them since the day who does not remember. The man practically spent his whole life killing monsters.
By hunting many monsters, he had enough experience to know that he had something very wrong in his current case. Therefore, He joined other monster hunters.
Even though he hates the existence of these two other hunters. One was a vampire, one of the most disgustingly powerful creatures in the world.
Immortal beings who don't follow any rules. Usually, dealing with a random monster is easier than dealing with a vampire.
The other was worse a Dhampir a damn half-breed between a vampire and a human
If Cutter didn't hate himself all monsters, he would pity his last partner, who was so pitiful. A being so weak that it was neither human nor vampire, therefore it was not accepted by either of them.
Immortal beings who don't follow any rules. Usually, dealing with a random monster is easier than dealing with a vampire.
Cutter knew this more than anyone else. They won't follow rules like other monsters, so it's much harder to kill them. A random monster depending on its species, if you can't kill it can appease the being.
Vampires were different, each had its individuality and if you can't defeat the vampire it's almost certain that appeasing him is impossible
Cutter, knowing this, joined the two in hunting his target. Kiss - Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade. A legendary vampire who scares anyone who knows the slightest bit of the supernatural
Cutter was not foolish enough to feel safe in defeating such a being alone. So he and the two damn monsters went hunting the monster
To Cutter's surprise defeating the vampire was easy, maybe she was just overrated or he and the monsters that helped him were more powerful than he imagined and this was probably the right one.
The downside was that the monster ran away and ended up being saved and to make matters worse got a servant.
Not counting the help the servant somehow got from a local expert who made a deal with him and the monsters that helped him defeat the monster.
If the servant defeats them, they would return the members of the monster, a pathetic deal he had not intended to fulfill before.
Now that the monster's servant had spared Dramaturgy's life, he wouldn't return the monster's limbs anyway. He would defeat the servant and if defeated would follow him with a very firm plan to catch the monster off guard and kill it in front of her servant
Then he would finally kill the servant when he was in shock. A perfect plan.
When meeting time came, Cutter tried to find any kind of thing to use against the servant, but he ended up washing the girl he talked to earlier somewhere.
The servant probably ate the girl as any monster would and wasn't worth Cutter's attention, a girl who sympathizes with a monster is rubbish just like them
since he had nothing to do, Cutter ran through the city in search of the servant to catch him off guard and in a short time he managed to find the boy walking calmly down the street among the people as if he were a normal
"Pathetic. A filthy freak wanting to walk among people" Cutter declared at the height of his disgust at the existence of the servant who was calmly walking around town with his hands in his pockets as if he didn't care about anything.
Cutter continued to follow the vampire until the two reached an industrial area of the city that had minimal to almost non-existent human traffic.
"That fool is so carefree that he made my job of killing him even easier!" Cutter declared with a confident smile, staring at the vampire's back.
"It's time to die freak" He shouted excitedly showing his smile of victory and leaned his body forward ready to jump towards the vampire
*bang*
When Cutter was ready to jump, a bang where the vampire was, startled him and realized that the vampire was no longer in the place he was before.
*Fear*
Cutter's eyes widened when he noticed that something appeared in front of him, and instinctively he managed to take a step to the side and fall awkwardly to the ground.
He didn't know what the thing was that just appeared in front of him, or if it was just an illusion. He didn't have time to do that because his eyes widened when he heard a faint snort behind him.
"Hoou, so you managed to dodge?" A confident and even disdainful male voice spoke and Cutter in shock widened his eyes even further as he saw a man with black hair and crimson red eyes looking at him shrewdly "this was supposed to cut you in half and not just your arm"
"Arm?" Cutter asked in confusion and looked at the man's hand. He saw a severed arm in the man's hands, and by sheer instinct, he slowly lowered his eyes in search of his arms.
It couldn't be, there was no way. Cutter was the best hunter, he defeated a legendary vampire. He wouldn't lose his arm to a subordinate of the same vampire.
But, reality destroyed any kind of belief of greatness he had when he saw that his arm wasn't in place and the blood was spurting from his shoulder to where his arm should have been.
*Ache*
"AAAAaaaa" Cutter screamed with all his strength and desperation as he desperately tried to stop the bleeding from his severed shoulder
"It's cool, isn't it?" The man spoke once more, showing that cruel smile with the two big scary fangs showing. He walked slowly towards Cutter and threw the man's arm in his face, "cut off someone else's limbs wouldn't you?"
"I asked if it's cool to cut people's limbs" The man let out a beastly roar and waved one of his arms turning it into a big blade "Answer me!"
Cutter who was kneeling mustered all his hatred to ignore the pain and tried to get up to attack the man and get revenge.
He would shove his hand right into the man's chest and rip out his heart. This would make the vampire weaker enough that even without a Cutter arm, he could kill the vampire.
Vampires despite having one of the most powerful offensive and regenerative powers in the world. Had very weak defensive power, and it didn't take much power to pierce their skin and bone, it was just a little more out of it than doing it with a human.
Cutter mustered all his strength and rose to land the blow toward the vampire's chest.
The vampire smiled, seeing the man thrust forward to attack him, and when Cutter's fist was close to the vampire's chest. He pulled his sword arm down, cutting Cutter's other arm.
*Ache*
"AAAAaaaaa" Cutter once again cried and this time by noticing the moment his arm was ripped off. He felt all the pain and had no chance to remain conscious.
Cutter rolled his eyes and passed out right there
"I think I went too far," The vampire said to himself scratching his head and looked at the other building a little taller than he was "I'm counting on you to take care of him and give me a leg"
After looking at the building for a few seconds, the vampire v disappeared in another shock wave.
