DxD 10 – First Kill

It has been 8 weeks, since Gunnar has left the orphanage. And in these eight weeks. By using his nearly endless stamina, and his speed that can rival a Low-Class being, who don't specialise in speed. But still faster than the limits of a human being.

Gunnar Klinger managed to outrun his pursuers, which Gunnar himself has no clue there was people tracking him down in the first place. After all, who in their wildest dream, will imagine, a child that no more than 9 years old. Could run about 40mph, and that is without rest as well?

Gunnar doesn't need to eat that much. It is the same with sleeping, he hasn't slept once in 3 years. And he even went on without eating, to see his limit of not eating anything. Which happened to be 3 weeks to be his limit before he feels the needs water and food. Showing how much he is going away from being human.

Of course, there is food in his Devourer's Subspace. Each time he was given food, he made sure to least eat half of it, and throw the remaining half into his Devourer's Subspace, when no one is looking.

He didn't do that because he has planned to leave the orphanage for some time now. No, the real reason why Gunnar even begin to store any spare food or drinks in his Devourer's Subspace is very simple.

And that is reason; there be no telling when Gunnar be in a situation that he will not have any access to any sources of water or food. It is because of that sole reason. He begun to store food into his Devourer's Subspace, besides the 'food' to increase his Abyss, his Abyssal power.

Gunnar has about few months of food and water in his Devourer's Subspace. But of course, that is only counted if Gunnar still your normal human. With how much he can eat, which can be a lot, but also very little, counting on his mood.

Meaning his supplies could least him between 2 weeks ~ 6 months. Even if that amount of food in his Devourer's Subspace, can last a normal child of his age, 2 months. It is because of that, that Gunnar doesn't have to worry for food or water for the time being.

Within the wildness, properly somewhere in Germany, since Gunnar has no clue if he still in Germany or not. Gunnar didn't spent all his eight weeks on the run. Sometimes he will run into wild animals.

Of course, he hasn't killed any of them. And the very wild animals, also can sensed something off about Gunnar, with his Abyssal Power within him. After all, unknowingly to Gunnar. His Abyssal Power masks Gunnar's aura. Making it hard to even notice the little black-haired boy. Never mind find him.

And when they do find Gunnar. They become wary, since they feel nothing. And when these wild animals do show any signs of ill intentions. A horrifying aura appeared before them, making them scared for their lives. Since this aura that comes from Gunnar's Abyssal Power itself, is not only sinisterly, but whoever feels it, feels like the Abyssal Power wants to devour them.

Gunnar never truly used his Abyssal Power in the last three years, to put pressure on others. But when they do sense that Aura of the Abyss. Anyone that can sense that terrifying aura pressuring them. All they can feel, is every cell in your body begun to scream at you, telling you to run, before the monster before you, devour your flesh and soul!

It no wonder, any wild animals, no matter how brave they known to be. Felt with their intuition, and their body, that the person with that aura could devour them into nothingness. Will run with their tails between their legs.

And it thanks to that, barely any wild animals dare to face Gunnar. Unless he let them to. Like right now.

Gunnar stared at the circling of four brown and grey fur wolves, that he sensed heading towards him. There is a reason why Gunnar didn't used his Abyssal Power to scary them away. And that is, he wanted experience in fighting. After all, Gunnar's strength is only one level or two higher than these wolves. Making them the perfect training partners to hone his skills.

And at this moment. Gunnar is not brothering looking right at them. He just closed his eyes. And used his Abyss inside him, to informed him of their gazes. As it was done before when Marius and his goons wanted to deal with Gunnar at that time. Gunnar can feel murderous and hungry intentions from the wolves, when they look at him.

Like the Abyss itself, whoever that looks at the Abyss, the Abyss will look at you back. And even feel your intentions towards it as well. That is why, Gunnar is developing this kind of power, that can feel the gazes of others. So in the future, he doesn't need to dodged other attacks by using his normal senses.

And he called this ability, to feel intentions of other gazes on him, as Abyssal Observation. The ability to feel others watching you, and their intentions are as well. But there are flaws with this Abyssal Observation. One, you could only feel if they have ill intentions, natural intentions, or good intentions.

Which means, you cannot tell, if they have ill intentions of jealousy, or maybe they want to kill you. It hard to tell, if it simple hatred, or just envious. But it does help, when it comes to those attacking him from his blind spots. Or if he is being spied on.

Feeling one of the four brown and grey wolves, that goes by Grey Wolves. Begun their attack, one of them sneaked behind Gunnar, and tried to go after the back of his neck. However, Gunnar, only slightly smiled, as he stepped to the side, at the same time. When a wolf's mouth was about to bite him.

And lightly kicked the wolf few meters away from him. It was easy for Gunnar to kill these four. However, unless he has to. Gunnar refer not to kill, especially since, he is the one that started this, by baiting them attacking him on purposely.

Feeling it has bitten air and was kicked on the side of its body. Lucky it hasn't broken it's rib bones. But that doesn't mean it didn't hurt, as he howled in pain, alarming the other three. Which than made two of the three Grey Wolves rushed towards Gunnar in a crazy mad manner.

But Gunnar shows no fear on his face. As he calmly looked at the two mad wolves leaped at him. Only to use his Abyssal Power to increase his Jumping power, and leaped into the air by several meters, that did alarmed the four wolves. As Gunnar lightly landed on the ground next to the only Grey Wolf that hasn't moved.

"You must be the leader among them, I am right?" Gunnar asked with a smile. Which the leader among the four wolves, almost shat himself. After all, Gunnar himself has no aura like a ghost himself. Making it hard for those wolves to even sense or smell where he is.

It no wonder, the leader among the Grey Wolves almost passed out in shock, when he didn't even notice the human boy behind him! However, the leader of the wolves, didn't attack Gunnar, instead run forward, and warily watched Gunnar.

With it's senses, the Grey Wolf leader was confused, since one part of his senses are telling him, this human prey boy is harmless, and easy prey since his aura is so little. But the other part of it, the animal instincts. Is informing him, this easy prey is too strange… something about this human boy isn't right.

Which is why, he didn't bother to attack Gunnar, and commend one of his own kind to attack from behind. But he didn't expect for the human boy to easily dodge his own kind like it was child play. And suddenly disappeared, when he was attacked again by two others under his wing.

But the leader of the Grey Wolves, never in his dreams, thought the human boy will appeared behind himself! And this made the Grey Wolf cautious of Gunnar. Especially so, when he cannot determine this human boy's strength. He didn't know if the human boy is in fact stronger them him, and his pack.

Or maybe this disappearing act was just a trick the boy used. The Grey Wolves' leader truly has no idea, since he only knows humans always has a trick or two under their sleeves.

On the other hand, Gunnar was interested in the leader of the wolves. Unlike the other threes, that following their beasty instincts. This leader among them, is watching, and judging his strength. A clever wolf, that Gunnar finds interesting and admirable.

While he thinks that. Gunnar than again dodged two wolf attacks, one on his right, the other on his left. And even sensed a gaze with ill intentions from behind him. And ducked, before the third wolf attack bitten his head off.

'I am getting used to being attack by three… plus, it is a shame… I can't tame animals… no, I can't tame… but I can taint his mind, and mind control him… wait, I can do that? But I feel my Abyss needs to grow more, to awaken that power… and it is a shame to control his mind. I want that wolf, not just any wolf.'

Gunnar thought that, while the leader of the Grey Wolves begun to howl, which made the other three looked at each other, and at Gunnar. Before they rushed back to their leader side. Then the leader of the Grey Wolves looked at Gunnar, and slowly made distance between him, and them.

"Is it backing away… no, it is watching me… maybe it is change his plans of attack? Clever indeed, knowing a frontal attack is useless. So, they are waiting for a chance to sneak attack me. Shame for them, they are trying this tactic on the wrong person. I am immune to sneak attacks of all kinds… since it is pointless if I can sense them. Even now, I can sense you gazes, you know?"

Gunnar told them, even if he knows, that these wolves cannot understand human speech. Knowing there nothing else he could do about this, Gunnar carried on walking away from the wolves. And made his way ahead, not caring about the fact, four wolves are watching, and waiting for a moment to attack him.

However, all of the sudden Gunnar stopped moving. As his sea blue eyes narrowed, sensing something strange for the first time in his life.

"What's is that?" Gunnar asked, as he carefully made his way towards the sources of that strange feeling coming from. Unknowing that his aura becoming thinner and thinner. Making it harder for anyone to sense Gunnar. And the four wolves, that was watching Gunnar, have their eyes widen in fright, seeing he just disappeared like a ghost right before them. And they run away, with their leader in the lead.

Not knowing the four wolves running for their lives. Or the fact, Gunnar right now, is using one of his abyssal powers, not even knowing he is using one of them. And sneaked his way towards the source of this energy he never felt before.

Gunnar eyes widen, as he looked at a man floating in the air, facing two people on the ground. And the man in the air, is something that Gunnar is very familiar with. Something that proven this world might be DxD after all. Since until now, he never met anyone from the anime itself or seen anyone belonging in this anime world.

And right now, a man that anyone who is a fan of DxD will know who he is from a mere glance. And this man that floating in the air, with two black raven like bird wings, who happened to be looking down at the pair of man and woman on the ground, with a cold twisted look.

Is no other than a Fallen Angel.
