Holy Mission

The Modern Realm, Okasa, Japan.

A young man slid out of a room, an active and loaded revolver in his hands, seemingly chasing a soul. He quickly ran through the hallway, dimly lit by the lights from neighbouring buildings.

A strange aura—the cast field—enveloped the building.

As he ran, he fired a bullet from the revolver, blue energy swirling around it. He sprinted straight ahead, then turned into the next hallway when the bullet struck the wall with a loud bang!

Before him, a disfigured soul—his target—fled. He fired more bullets charged with blue energy, but each one passed through the Grade 2 Exile soul without causing any damage.

Gritting his teeth, he muttered, "Damn, this soul. I didn't bring my sword today. What was I thinking?" Referring to himself, he continued the chase.

The soul emitted a sound that was both crying and laughing, creating a strange noise that annoyed Haruki even more.
