Annihilation: The Prologue (17)

''Speak''

'Thought'

____________________________________________

~Ryu POV~

I look at the scene in front of me with annoyance, it was an absolute pain to deal with the monster alone, but there are those weirdos from before, probably here to finish what they started. Seeing how Mary's attack got blocked, I am sure the woman from before was also here.

There is now a werewolf talking to Bram, with a scar on its left eye.

'I guess that's the person Mary warned me about.' I thought

Just before they could land, I used my Rashomon and grabbed hold of the monster before throwing it at the plane, and as I expected, the monster was stopped from crashing into the plane by the same invisible barrier.

Commanding my Rashomon, the dragon made out of cloth soared forward with numerous heads aiming to kill the monster right then and there; not only that, but I also sought to kill the monster while taking the plane down with the monster.

However, the monster seemed to react fast enough and dodge my Rashomon, but I did not care and continued to command some of my Rashomon and some to pierce the barrier.

But to my surprise, the plane seemed to open up, and I could see two people standing there; one was a very familiar woman, and the other was a stranger with weird goggles that I did not recognise.

Not that I genuinely care; I am more worried about the woman looking straight at me. It seems that she still wants me dead.

The man with the weird goggles starts to shoot lasers out of the goggle, and he seems to be trying to get Rashomon away before it pierces the barrier and destroys the plane.

'Shooting laser, huh?'

Stepping out of the plane, I can see very familiar faces, with only two new people, one that seems to be a half man and half animal while the other is the goggle-wearing one. Now that I look closely, the goggle-wearing one appears to be in his teen.

If I remember her name correctly, Jean, the woman is still looking at me intensely, while the blue skin woman seems to look around at first before she quickly makes her way inside the castle.

'What she doing?' I can only think before I hear Mary scream something before shooting lightning at the baldy.

The werewolf then rushed forward and dragged the blue skin half-man, half-animal into the forest, seemingly continuing their fight there.

While all that is happening, I have an idea forming in my head because the woman, Jean, and that laser guy are distracted by the monster.

'That laser guy, I should kill him first. I highly doubt that I would be able to sneak behind the two psychics.' I thought before trying to think of a way to sneak behind that laser guy

As if in response to my thought, Rashomon appeared and started to cover my entire body with its power, and the next thing I knew, my body was now covered in a thin line of Rashomon. When I look at my hand, I cannot help but be surprised to see how it has become transparent.

'Rashomon turn me invisible?' Ryu thought before shaking his head. 'I should be asking that type of question now. I have something to deal with first.' Ryu thought

~3rd POV~

Rashomon covered Ryu's body in thin layers itself and, at the same time, ate all the light that would hit him.

You see, the transmission of light waves causes transparency. If the vibrational energy of a light wave is passed through the object, then the thing appears clear or transparent. Not only that, but when Rashomon cover Ryu's entire body, his body becomes entire transparent because of vibration.

[A/N: I don't think this is true. I'm not a scientist; I'm just using anime bullshit science.]

With Ryu being Transparent, he quickly sneaks behind Scott Summer, and with his new pair of arms that come from Bram, it is straightforward for Ryu to use his arm to pierce Scott's body.

~Ryu POV~

"Who are you, and where are you from? I don't care. All I know is that today is the day that you died." When I finish this sentence, I turn my cloth into Rashomon and command to kill the person in front of me immediately.

As I expected, Rashomon killed the man in an instant and not only that, it also ate the body of the person to the point where is nothing left except a pool of blood.

The moment the laser guy was eaten, the woman, Jean and the whole area started to shake, and the castle itself began to break.

"You! HOW DARE YOU!?" She screams, and I swear when her power flares up, I can see a bird silhouette behind her that seems to glare at me with a lot of hatred.

"You failed to kill me last time. Do you think you can kill me now?" I cannot help but answer back with a smile, and unlike last time I am fully prepared for what will happen next. However, she seems to be forgetting something.

"Behind you," I said while pointing behind her, and when she turned around, she was greeted with a sight of a monster swinging its massive crab claw down toward her. "Don't be distracted now."

The monster swings its crab claw down; however, before it even makes a contract with the woman, it is seemingly stopped by an invisible force before both its arms get pulled off by an invisible force, making it armless. The woman looks straight at the monster's face before saying something.

"Begone." With a single, the monster stops right in its tracks before seeming to disappear in a flash of light, leaving only both arms behind.

"No!!" I can hear Mary scream from behind the woman, and it seems she is not pleased with that.

"You should not have done that. While I will say that I do not know her to a deep level, I am certain that she would try to kill you now." I said while looking at the woman behind her, seeing how Mary was charging a massive amount o electricity.

Yet despite all of that, the woman doesn't even care about Mary and only looks at me.

"No, Jean, stop!!" The baldy said from the side; I nearly forgot that he is here and nobody is here to protect him right now...

'I should kill that crippled bastard next.' I thought while looking at that mind reading son of a bitch
