The Banquet (4)

The woman who was presumably called July left Nine behind, she did not have time to take care of a stranger, she did not know wether he was reliable as a fighter, for she needed one to embark for her long journey.

She left the hall and met up with the frowning Hugh and the panicked Marilyn.

"What where you thinking when you pulled your sorcery?!" Roared Hugh, it was the first time he displayed an angry expression near Marilyn, she looked at him in shock.

"Hugh! Do you know what's going on? What' the hell is happening " Asked Marilyn in distress holding onto Hugh shirt, he glance at her for a moment, but did not answer, he decided to just ignore for know and answer later, after the crisis have been solved.

"First, it's not sorcery, but a gun, tss, primitive " This remark pinch a nerve on both Hugh and Marilyn, the glared at her, he was at the point of rebuking went the heard screams emerging from the Hall.

"Second, we don't have much time, that cheeky bastard had his plan all set, surly, the Lord and some Court members and wizards were already taken down and turn into marionette " Reported The scarlet hair lady.

"July, is that really you?" Marilyn stared at the woman's hair and eyes, "why are your hairs red, and your eyes amber?" She asked out of fear, she realized that, two fangs had also grew, but was too frightened to say it out.

"My name isn't July, but Morgan Danvers, next time you speak or command me as if I was your servant, I would suck you dry!" Warned Morgan, Hugh new her character, he tried to stop her, but Morgan left, she did not have time for this kids.

Morgan had used a secret spell and scan Nine's memory without his permission, but she really did not care, that's how he knew that he was like her, someone brought to this world, but Nine's world was different from hers, different technology, culture, religion and ethics, all about that world was intriguing to her, and made her curious of it.

"That looks high enough " She walked to the guard tower and kicked away the heavy door with less difficulty and walked the steps to the submit.

When she came out and had a view of the town and the mansion, she observed the halls entrance, Nine hasn't yet move out, was he dead? She thought, she did not want him to die, his world had interesting things, especially this weapons, their functionality wasn't that far from the weapons they used it their world, but it's fabrication had some additional eccentric style to it, the trigger to the substance used, the evolved from gun powder to this.

"I feel backward looking at this piece of art" She smirked why holding the gun she had, "hmmm, I need a bigger fire arm, let's see" Scanning throw the memories stolen, she spotted one who was very eye catching.

Circles formed around her with eccentric symbols and complicated runes, the all converged towards the gun and expanded horizontally, from there, well define and carved lines drew out, taking shape, the barrel was formed, magazin and all, the heavy gun was created in mere seconds and fell on her hands bringing her down.

"It's quite heavy, but, that's good, the heavier it is, the destructive power it brings " She placed the gun down, and in mere seconds of touch, she understood how to use it, and at that moment.

Boom!

The hall was blown off and the mansion was seriously destroyed, as it gradually collapsed, a cloud of mist emerged within with a beast like roar putting everybody around into a state of panic and fear.

After position herself on the floor, dirtying her robe, she focus her attention on the mist searching for where the horror would show up, in her search, she saw Nine on one foot looking up at the mist, following his gaze, she spotted the ugly bastard.

"There you are dirty jerk!" She grin in excitement, she relayed at the beast man preparing to engage, "Your still to soft for this world, get ready, scenes like this would be frequent as we travel to the next zone" the man stood up and was looking around searching, soon he lifted his head and their eyes met.

"The beast race isn't that bad" She murmured, and her aime was already position, she pulled the trigger slightly, and inside the gun, a fifty caliber bullet was being materialize in form and enforced with magic.

"huff..." She breathed out, cutting out her presence, she ignored the screams and shouts, the disturbance of what surrounded her, her eyes focus on the white horror manifestation showing up, it gradually grew it's head starting from it's thorax going upward, numerous mouths all filled with hideous looking fangs moving independently from each other, the creepy sight would have send shiver to anybody that weakness it up close, but she smirked and even saw it as a cute sight to watch.

Bang!

She pulled the trigger, the fifty caliber bullet shot out of the Barrett M82 sniper rifle, passed through the eccentric magic circle and shot out, bringing with it large gust of wind.

Boom!

A red line was drawn in the air, as the bullet broke the sound barrier and reached it's target, at the same time the target's head moved towards the light flash, and it's vision turn dark.

Morgan smirked, she loved the sensation of the gun in her hand, the feeling of pulling the trigger, she fell omnipotent in just using it, the moment the bullet went out, she felt like a god bestowing judgment upon the world and it's sinners.

"This is power!" She laughed out in exciting pleasure, and almost went mad, "I think I am in love, hahaha" She loaded a new bullet, the same situation occurred, in process of being created, she looked at Nine fighting.

"His not bad, what fighting style was that?" She closed her eyes thinking as she scan the memory collected, "hmm, a military style fight?" She questioned.

Nine did his best to take down as much human monsters he could, a monster appeared Infront of him, aiming with his large deform claws, Nine dodge to the size, avoiding the claws strike, his beast eyes scanning the monsters body, like a snake, his hands holding the eagle talon daggers cut through the monsters tendon of the hands and legs before slicing the throat, blood burst out and the monster collapse on the floor, this was his sixth monster he took down, but as he turn towards the approaching horde of monster he knew it would be hard to escale this battle field easily, "why did I end up following this people?" He was annoyed by the outcome of his bad luck of never meeting the right people.

Taking a military stand, his hand holding firmly onto the dagger talon blade, lifted them up slightly, he's right foot Infront, he was ready to receive them, "you guys make me remember the ant nest I had to face in the purple forest, they were annoying, the more you killed the more they emerged to bite you, quite irritating, if I could compare you guys" He launch at the horde at fully speed and collided with them.

"They were stronger and organized than you brainless fools!" His strong legs broke through the skull of a monster, it did not end there, his body rotated as he gave a side kick to a monster closer, his dagger moved very fast slicing and cutting on the monster, he grin as he gradually loose his sanity.

Ding!

[Choose a Unique Beast class]

The system rang out in the middle of the fight annoying Nine, now wasn't the moment, but was losing ground, the numbers were growing because of the damn mist transforming people to monsters, he himself was spared, the mist surrounding him was gradually affecting his senses, he needed to get stronger.

"What are you doing!" Nine roared out calling out Morgan's attention, she looked down and saw that the beast man was losing ground and some monsters were breaching his one man barricade.

"Keep up, reinforcement would soon come, we just need to retain it for a moment " Said Morgan, "shit, I don't have that luxury!" Nine's dagger pierced through a monster's skull destroying it, but that was the opportunity the monster wanted, the dragged the corpse away, and the others charge at Nine simultaneously.

The dual attack forced Nine to give up on his dagger, he was barehanded now, the monster launch at him with the expectation of having an advantage.

Pow!

The unlucky monster Infront was send flying backwards, it's face on fire, "if you think losing my weapon gives you guys and advantage, you must be dumb fools " He grin taking a fighting stands if both mixed martial style, that of...

A monster launch a strike, he caught the hand twisted it to the point of breaking it and punch the face so hard it carved inward and kicked the monster away, Morgan on top of the tower whistle at sight, a mixture of Jujutsu and boxing style.

"Come" Said Nine as his palms open up and lingering hot air burst out from them, in his trance to engage in the fight another problem emerged.

A boulder shot out of the red mist, it's location of origin, the white horror, Boulder's target, Morgan's location, "shit!" Both of them cursed.
