Slaughterers (Introduction)

CHAPTER 1

People were captured by demons as sacrifices for the bottomless abyss. One of the demons grabbed a young Dark Elf's arm and pulled her near the endless pit. "Please free me!" She cried, wiggling her arms out from the demon's grip. "AND WHY WOULD WE? ELVES ARE THE ABYSS' FAVORITE SACRICE!" He laughed and effortlessly threw the girl's frail body, dumping it unto the darkness as her scream fades. The poor elf's body was slowly consumed by the abyss. Dark Abyssal Magic and mystical power from the Moon Gods clashed inside her body. The two opposing forces has balanced within her. In exchange, her memories are sealed away by the abyss. Her fragile body rests on the cold hard floor, beside her is an Abyssal demon.

"Selena!" The Abyssal Demon called for her, the Abyssal Witch blinked "Whoops! Seems like I've done it once again" She softly chuckled. "Could you focus? You almost got killed by your target!" The demon said with a concerned tone. "Jeez~! Everything's A-ok, see? not a single scratch is seen on my gorgeous body!" Selena raised her arms widely, revealing her torso and arms covered in blood. The Abyssal Demon breathed out "Now that you've finished your work, could you tell me what's been bothering you?". "I was just trying to remember what happened before I was sacrificed" The demon was silent "Do you have any idea what I used to be?" "I believe I don't" It replied. She softly closed her eyes "Well, I've done a lot of thinking--i 'll find answers regarding my past" She said with a determined look and her bloody hands clutched. "A little soulsearching wouldn't hurt, now would it?" She stood up, seemingly ready and tireless from the fight. "Not unless the Blood Queen would look at it differently..." The demon muttered. "She's obviously busy ruining married couples" Selena confidently replied. The Abyssal Demon sighed, it had no choice, arguing with Selena IS IMPOSSIBLE. She want things done her way.

"Soooo~ Where do people usually obtain their memories back?" she asked, while walking in a slow pace. "Well... perphaps there is a way... but it--" "Spit it out Abyssyyyy!" she bursted out. "He's from the Moniyan Empire, his name is Diggie". Selena paused, the Abyssal Demon hoped for Selena to call it quits, but for her optimistic personality-- that'd be too far-gone. Selena took a deep breathe, and snickered "What's the big deal? fufufu". The demon nod its head no from dissapointment, and led her to the path anyway.

The rooms stained in blood. A man's footsteps echoes in the halls together with the loud screeching of his bloody sword being dragged on the floor. "Don't let the traitor escape with the artifact!" an injured ninja yelled. "Get back here!" he charges at the traitor with his katana, but it was for nothing. The traitor swiftly swung his demonic sword at him, and feeds on his bloodied body. "D-damn you... Hanzo..." the artifact continues to consume him with its sharp teeth. "Ame no Habikiri will devour you." Hanzo spoke menacingly, and the poor ninja was ingested completely. No one can stand in Hanzo's way, he is destructive as long as he has Ame No Habakiri in his hands. As he was about to exit the House of Akkage, three shurikens rush to hit the traitor. But Hanzo was quick and swung his sword to deflect the shurikens.

The ninja's shadow split into four phantoms, in a way for confusing Hanzo. He blinks into one of the phantoms to strike the traitor. Their weapons clash. Hanzo's threatening gaze was enough to pierce the Shadow Ninja like a blade. The Shadow Ninja blinks to his phantoms to dodge incoming attacks from Hanzo. Hanzo felt fear deep within him. The moment when the ninja was close enough for hanzo to reach, he slashed the Shadow Ninja with might and deeply wounded him. On the ground, injured, Hanzo spoke to the fallen ninja "You're a shame to the Shadow clan, Hayabusa" He wields his sword with both his hands for the artifact to consume him. The moment he was about to give Ame No Habakiri a meal, reinforcements arrived. Hanzo immediately flee, leaving Hayabusa to die.

As the two Abyssal beings head their way to the Timekeeper, Diggie. The unnerving silence was alarming for them. It feels as if danger was about to occur. The wind tangled up Selena's fuchsia hair, as five Demon Hunters appeared in their sight, with confidence smacked on their faces. "Hey, little lady. I think it's best for you to surrender yourself. You're clearly outnumbered". Selena doesn't seem worried, for their badges show that they're low-ranked hunters. She chukled and proudly clapped her hands as a sign for the Abyssal Demon to fuse with her. In a flash, the Abyssal Witch mercilessly slaughtered them all. All five were down covered in scratches from Selena's razor-sharp claws. "Don't order me around~! Unless you're tired of living!" She giggled as she unfuses with her companion.

Hanzo moved quickly in the direction of the bloodshed. He rushed as fast as his legs can carry him. He arrived at the scene, yet all he found was five bloodied low tier demon hunters. He felt a presence, the same as Hanekage, the demon that lives within his sword. "Do you accept digesting fresh corpses?" Hanzo questions. "I can't eat anyone who weren't killed using Ame No Habakiri." Hanekage replied, "Hm, picky..." the ninja muttered. He glances at the Dark Elf, an elf with a rather same demonic aura as Hanekage. A lady, whose figure is smeared with fresh blood. Not lady-like for most, but for Hanzo she looked... stunning. Their eyes met, but was disturbed by Hanekage "Who are you?". Both snapped back to reality. "I'm afraid we can't introduce ourselves to an 'artificial' demon" the Abyssal Demon responded in a discriminative manner. "Abyssy! That was not nice" Selena brushed the demon off. "You have the guts to say that, when your host is a fragile little elf?" Hanekage scoffed. "Haneka-" "Hey! A-atleast Abyssy's host don't look as if they haven't showered for months" Selena glanced over Hanzo, whom she interrupted. She felt a subtle boil of guilt from what she said. The ninja didn't seem angered from the insult, but Hanekage was. "Hanzo, slaughter them" "Just... ignore them" the ninja sighed "You want to be powerful, right? The little lady killed 5 demon hunters single handedly. She's going to be a great meal". Hanekage persuaded the ninja, Hanzo nodded in agreement, and tightly grips the handle of his weapon.

"I WILL become stronger"
