Elevator

Zero stepped onto the third floor, finding there was now 10 Qwulvises, however there was still only four skinless dogs. Zero shot his ten Seeker Beams out, targeting all of them at once. Instantly the Qwulvises were all delimbed, while the dogs were instantly impaled through the heart. The four dogs souls floated together to form a Shade, which Zero walked over and collected before moving to the first Qwulvis. "I will come back once I find some knives."

Zero turned and started heading farther into the floor, clearing all of the rooms in a matter of an hour as all the creatures had been pulled to the stairs due to the gun shots. Zero, going through his regular routine, went into any store with bags and brought them out before starting to fill each of them. Zero prioritized food and drinks, then clothes, then items that made life easier, like toilet paper, and feminine products. Zero figured those would sell pretty good if he placed it at a lower price and sold them separately.

Zero had multiple bags already filled when he started to physically become exhausted. 'Window, will my momentum stop when <Back Stab> is activated? And will anything I am touching travel with me upon activation?'

-Notice-

All momentum is canceled once Ability <Back Stab> is activated.

-Notice-

Anything the Host is physically carrying will be carried with them.

Zero nodded at that information. Deciding to try it for science, Zero stretched his back before walking over to the Qwulvises currently bleeding out on the ground. He took the shirts he had brought over and bunched them up so they were covering the Qwulvis' wounds before using the rubber bands he had found to tie them down. Next, Zero dragged the creature to the railing before cutting its jaw so it wasn't able to be closed.

Zero stood Infront of it so it could see him before repeating the process from last time, tying its tongue to a far support beam before lifting the creature so it was teetering on the edge of falling off the railing. Zero then took the next Qwulvis and started dragging it down the stairs until he was on the bottom floor, were he dragged the creature through the pool of its dead kin. Zero placed the creature in the most open area he could find.

'Time to try this out.' Zero pulled the dagger out of his pocket before looking at the Qwulvis slightly hanging over the third story railing. Without giving himself time to doubt, Zero activated <Back Stab> Zero's vision went black, only for it to slightly return for a small moment. Zero was looking through a dark faze, and his point of view was ascending before reaching the area above the Qwulvis' back. Zero's vision went back to its regular tint and he found himself falling. Zero quickly reached out and grabbed the railing, stopping his fall back down to his death. Zero lashed out his left hand, which was holding the dagger.

The blade sliced a small shallow cut into the creatures back, and he felt the tell tale coolness wash over him. Zero pocketed the dagger before using both hands and pulling himself up and over the railing before a satisfied smile donned his face. 'Instant elevator.' Zero walked over to his small pile of bags before lifting multiple and placing them on his self. When Zero was finally done and couldn't hold any more, he was nearly falling over at the weight.

Without pause, Zero moved towards the railing and leaned over, the bags shifting and nearly pulling him over the edge. Zero found his target before activating <Back Stab> once more. Once more, Zero's vision went dark before he was watching his rapid decent through a tinted darkness. Zero appeared in the air above the creature, only for the weight of the bags to bring him down faster then he had anticipated. Zero caught himself with his legs before he fell over, however the weight caused his knees to slightly hurt. Once he slashed the back of the creature, Zero moved towards his room, only to realize it was locked. With a groan, Zero decided to try to see if he could move items through walls.

With a deep breath, Zero stepped forward into the wall, only this time there was an intense resistance, as if he was walking through molasses. Zero forced himself to push on until he fell forward out of the wall and onto the ground of the room. Zero didn't get time to give a deep breath, as the bags buried him. Zero let out a soft groan before he passed out, still covered by the dozen filled bags.

Zero slowly opened his eyes, shocked to find he wasn't being awoken by banging on his door, or gunshots going off. With some effort, he pushed himself out of the pile of bags and let out a satisfied yawn. When he checked his body over, he found the Mana channels had been completely restored, and his mental and physical exhaustion had disappeared. With a satisfied smile plastered on his face, he quickly moved all the bags onto the large pile of other bags before moving towards the deformed metal door.

As Zero examined it, he found the multiple repeated strikes to the door had caused the metal to bend inward and trap the bar in place, effectively stopping the door from being able to be opened. 'I guess we are going with the option to just this a bunker only people with the ability to walk through walls can use.' Zero shrugged as he moved towards the door before walking right through.

Zero instantly found that walking through the door was both quicker, as well as less taxing on his Mana Channels. 'I should find something to reinforce the door if I don't want it to be opened.' Zero was turning to go walk back to the first floor when he was suddenly hit and sent flying, colliding with the wall behind him.
