Hunt Part 2

Captain Raymond is also destroying the spirits with his Ice Astral Ability, while scouring all the fortress's halls and killing the Djinns he sees, proving his suspicions that the Djinn might have overtaken the place.

"( [White Ice Claw]! )" he strikes the Djinn he sees as he tries to see how many Djinns he killed.

"( I hope Tracker and Shiro are alright. )" he could only hope while doing his thing.

" These Slippering Spirits, they really caught all of us off guard! " Raymond says, attacking another Djinn with his ice, in order to destroy the Core completely.

"( Unlike the Hollows whose Core is so vulnerable, the Djinn's core is quite difficult to find despite their weak strength. )" Raymond says as he fights many Djinns in every room he went, fighting all of them alone while also helping the other Guardians in this place.

" Grrhhh... this attack. "

" Something is wrong... "

" There's too many of them in one place all of the sudden. "

" I know that Djinns can possess another Astral Form, like Souls but... " he remembers the Spirit Hunter who he suspected as the Carrier for all of these Djinns.

" I never know that they can possess one Astral Form with many numbers. "

" For based on what I know, one Djinn can only possess one Astral Form, and if they dare decided to over-possess one body using their wide range of numbers. "

" It couldn't happen. "

" For their host's body would explode, so how...? " Raymond begins to realize after killing another Djinn, he remembers something based on what he observed during his battle.

" They all possess one body, but the body didn't explode?... " Captain Raymond says, while unnoticed to him, there's one Djinn Corpse that silently moves unnoticed by him, as, from its mouth, a small smoke appears.

" I think I've seen this before... "

" Wait, when is it...? "

" Ahh..., it couldn't be...? " Raymond thinks hard, still not sensing what danger is behind him.

" Oh right, these Djinns... "

" Usually, if they attack in armies, they were usually led by an Army Leader.... "

" This, army leader had the ability to store all of the Djinn's spiritual forms in its body, hence its size, and also had the ability to possess another Djinn. "

" I remember facing one before. " Raymond finally remembers while the thing who came out from Djinn's corpse began to approach him.

" I think the leader is usually named, huh... " Raymond says as he suddenly goes silent before saying the next word.

"( I... I can't speak...? )" he says as he then feels his tongue being held, making it unable to say the word he's going to say.

"( It seems you're that smart, aren't you? )" a voice says in his mind, making Captain Raymond shocked to hear it.

"( This voice...? )" Captain Raymond says as he then feels something binding his body.

"( This power, don't tell me... )" Raymond says as he looks behind him, seeing a giant Spiritual Form, a Giant Djinn.

"( Hehehe..., long time no see... )"

"( Old enemy... )" the voice says as the owner appears behind Captain Raymond, binding him with its Spiritual Ability.

"( You...!!! )" Raymond says as he tries to free himself using his Astral Energy, knowing what Spirit binds him.

"( Aruka!!! the Paik Neta (the Pack Leader), the Raydar (Raider Class) Djinn!? )" Raymond shout in his mind while his body is unable to move, for Djinn had already half-possessed him.

"( With my body half possessing you, you are now chained in a state, you can't overcome hehe...)" he says while Raymond still increases his Astral Energy.

"( Stupid little Soul..., you think a mere Astral Energy Power Up is enough to free you... )" the Spirit says, showing itself as the shadowy giant Djinn as he uses his Djinn Ability to forcefully bind Captain Raymond's body.

"( You should know of all Souls that in the Astral World, a powerful Astral Energy is nothing if the user doesn't have or doesn't produce a powerful Astral Ability. )" he says.

"( This rules, applied to both Souls and Spirits. )"

"( Remember? )" Aruka explains calmly as he knows for himself that in a normal battle, he would be lost to Raymond but for now.

"( Dammit..., you... )" Raymond says to himself, cursing himself for even letting his guard down, for despite his strength could easily overpower the Djinn, he shouldn't let his guard down from the Djinn Spirits' craftiness.

"( It's too late, your consciousness slowly becomes mind as I slowly possess you! )" Aruka says telling Raymond that after he possesses him, he will make sure that his job will be done.

"( What job...? )" Raymond asks while still in the possession process.

"( You'll know soon enough, Soul Captain... )"

"( After all, the reason I'm here is to possess you first. )" Aruka tells Raymond.

"( What...!? )"

"( Yes you, who else had the higher rank here? )"

"( With you as my body, I can make my Djinns easily overtaken this fortress. )"

"( And also to kill that 'Spirit' you bring inside this fortress, for he-... )"

" Captain Raymond! " another voice came, as it approaches Raymond.

"( Wait this voice...? )" Raymond says, recognizing this voice.

"( That idiot!!! )" Raymond as he was right that the one who came is Tracker 101 who was gradually searching for him earlier.

" Captain, thank goodness you're here! " he says without knowing or seeing the invisible Djinn behind Captain.

"( Oh, Raymond, look who we have here... )"

"( Friends of yours...! )" Aruka asks while smiling.

"( Tracker, you...! )"

"( Don't worry captain, it's time for me to make you sleep for now. )" Aruka says as he now fully possesses Captain Raymond, preparing his next move.

"( Most of my Djinns are dead and it seems to possess Raymond here is a wise choice. )" he says as he tries to see some of Raymond's memories.

.........

( Meanwhile. )

" Help, help me! " a Djinn says as Shiro slashes him with the Astral Blade.

" Please, stop, aren't you a Hollow, a Spirit!? "

" Shouldn't you be one of u...-Akkhhhh!!! " Shiro slashes the Spirits as he also completes the Quests given to him, giving him an item, despite him can't Level Up at this point, for that thing is on suspension due to his Core's upgrade.

" Shut up, you crafty Spirits! "

" I am not one of you and never will be... " Shiro says, slashing the Djinns as many of them attack him.

" Die! " Shiro says as he uses <Spirit Slash> and destroys all of them while obtaining loot.

< Item Obtained x50 >

" I hope they give the good ones, for it will help during my leveling stagnation. " Shiro says as he rests, after destroying the weak Djinns.
