Crave the Avarice 2

The daemon had walked quite a distance, now far away from Blake, Ricardo and Zhao Fan. It could tell that it was close to Jacquez. But the human kept shooting and running away. He couldn't run away. They both knew that, so the conclusion was that he was trying to draw him to a trap. The daemon smiled. It would wait expectantly then. 

It arrived at an abandoned building, the doors wide open. The warehouse was only illuminated by the light from outside, making it impossible to see. Sight wasn't the problem though. Even if it didn't have night vision, it could still sense his licht energy.

But as of right now, it couldn't. This inquisitor was no child. He was good, which made the fight much worthwhile. The daemon laughed.

[Do your worst!] The daemon cried, [I'm waiting!]

The blast shot came from the his right. The daemon dodged only to be hit from the right. The daemon rushed to the direction of the second shot only to be hit in the knee from the back. The daemon turned swiftly only to be hit in the side.

[We have a fast one here!] The daemon said firing a vestorer at the center of the room. For a brief second, the daemon caught a glimmer of Jacquez right across from him, standing his ground with a ball of licht energy at his pointed fingertip.

"Ricochet!"

Jacquez fired at the roof and the blast instantly deflected haphazardly around the room. The blast rested in the daemon's chest, although it did no damage.

[Nice.] the daemon sighed, [But not enough]

The daemon rushed to Jacquez and threw its fist at him. But Jacquez did not move an inch, only tilting his head to the left to avoid the punch. A second shot fired at the daemon in the back, the same place it had hit before. The daemon and Jacquez crossed eyes with each other and it was at that moment that the daemon knew that Jacquez was no simple inquisitor.

[Oh!] It exclaimed, a horrendous smile. [Show me more!!]

Jacquez shot out his leg, kicking the daemon in the leg and punching him in face, before jumping back. The two faced each other now.

Jacquez had faced many things in his life. From dangerous game to even primes and members of great families. He had seen a lot of evolved daemon and killed them. Some with Ricardo and Zhao Fan, others alone. Yet today was his first time facing a sin, on his own. Would he be able to pull it off? Or die trying?

For the sin of Greed, it had also had its fair share of foes. All had some flashy techniques, but none had intrigued him as much as this one. Despite using a common technique, despite having the least advantage of the four of them, he was still alive. The smile on its face grew wider.

Jacquez attacked first. He fired two blast at the daemon. Rather than dodging, the daemon took it head on. Copying his style, The daemon fired a smaller vestorer which zipped past Jacquez, tearing a hole in Jacquez's ear. Jacquez fired three more blast, one at him and two far off. The daemon tanked the first one, reaching out to grab the second. The third blast sped away, coming back to haunt the daemon in the knee. The daemon kicked at Jacquez, who caught the daemon, pulling it closer and returned the palm strike, pulling back swiftly and firing a shot into its mouth. Jacquez jumped back only to hit the wall, much to his horror.

[Hehehe!!] the daemon laughed as it reached out to finish Jacquez off with a vestorer. Jacquez slammed the wall and instantly shots rained down from the roof, ricocheting and hitting the daemon as Jacquez escaped out of the building.

Jacquez's ricochet like all ricochets bounced off surfaces. However, the more the surfaces it bounced off, the faster the shot. It however meant it sacrificed most of its damage power. For them to work on a daemon, it would take hours, thoughtless of a sin. However he'd learnt something from Ricardo. Any object could channel licht energy, just that unlike licht weapons, those objects could only retain them for a short period of time, approximately six minutes. Jacquez checked personally.

Of course this till wouldn't be enough for the sin of greed as it was already right beside him, it smile wider and more horrendous than ever.

Pulling its arm all the way back, the daemon punched Jacquez. Jacquez defended against the attack, pushed out of the building. The daemon was already in front of him, punching a tree clean off. Jacquez elbowed the daemon in the throat, rolling away and jumping up a tree. Jumping from tree to tree, Jacquez avoided the barrage of vestorer balls being thrown at him, each one like a grenade. Why had he never thought of this before. 

He wasn't like Kanon. She had the capacity to shot tremendous amounts of licht energy which could cause as much damage as a vestorer. He didn't have the body nor the licht energy she had. However, what he lacked in power, he made up for in speed.

".220 Swift." Jacquez fired. The shot zipped straight through the daemon's chest. The daemon stopped momentarily, staring at the small sized hole formed.

[Ha...hahaha....hahahaha...] The daemon laughed, [Of all the injuries I have had, this one's the weirdest. Tell me your name, Jacquez Ives. And show me more. Show me EVERYTHING!!] The daemon dashed to Jacquez's position, grabbing him by the collar. Pulling him out of the tree, he slammed him into the ground,

[More, more, more, more, more, more, more....MORE!] The daemon cried, punching him over and over and over again. It stopped, seeing that he was unconscious. It groaned, standing up with a sigh.

[The best of the best are really rare to find, pity they never last long.] It said as it walked away. [I wonder if that girl would do any better.]
