Monster Hunters Chapter Forty Three
Closure(2)After a spell of drifting through the void, Jacob finally felt his feet touch solid ground. 'Long distance teleportation sucks', he grumbled, as the long awaited wave of dizziness washed over him. Opening his eyes, the first thing he felt different was the gravity, as he felt as light as a feather. Looking around, he tried to familiarise himself with his surroundings as he looked for any landmark to find out his current location. He soon found it though, as right in front of him was a skyscraper, and at it's forefront was a large billboard which said; "Lith's Automated Tech". The building was all too familiar to Jacob as he was surprised Nogret would actually bring him here....Lith's Automated Tech was the company his Dad worked for. Wondering whether Nogret sent him to this particular place on purpose, he got a move on, as he left the alley he was in and chose a destination; the cemetery. Hardly had he taken a step did he receive a notification; =============== **Di

Closure(3)Exiting the Cemetery, he enlarged the newly generated map in front of him, as he headed towards the one marked closest to him.°°°°°°Following the map, he arrived at a corner in the city, a very busy one. Since it was dark, people had started going through their unlawful businesses, as Jacob passed by a dark alley where he could hear people exchanging blows. He was not one to interfere though, it was none of his business. The map led him to the red light district of the city, as he passed by many brothels. The map began blinking erratically when he approached a particular building, and he knew he had hit jackpot.It was a casino though, as he saw two hefty men at the entrance, requesting for something before they allowed entrance.Wondering whether he should use his Shadow skills or just barge through, he looked on as a man was tossed out of the casino, as a burly middle aged man emerged by the door, presumably, he was the one that tossed the other man."Manager", the two

Closure(4)Seeing Jacob still sitting, unharmed, the men in the room started freaking out....What sort of a Monster had their boss offended this time??"What are you standing there for, you morons??, shoot again!!!", Ray yelled again as fear gripped him; who was this kid?!The men gave their boss a weird look; he kept shouting "shoot", if it was so easy, why didn't he give it a try??...Or couldn't he see the kid still sitting confidently after being shot at??."(Sigh), I told you not to shoot", Jacob said, as he clenched his fist, sending the bullet flying.With a searing sound, the bullet pierced into the flesh of the three men that shot, one by one, blood spraying from the wounds.Groaning in agony, the three men fell heavily, lifeless. Seeing this scene, the other two men that hesitated slowly backed out of the room, decisively ignoring Ray's plea for help; never did they know that hesitation could save their lives!!.Although Jacob didn't want to shed innocent blood, there was not

Natalia(1)The map led Jacob to a rather luxurious part of the city, to a hotel to be precise. Jacob only had to wait around for a while before he got what he was looking for; an opportunity to enter the hotel. Slinking into the shadow of an hotel guest, he managed to enter the hotel without being seen. He could have used the {Shadow Conceal} skill, but it required shadows to work properly, and the hotel was even brighter than how it usually was during the day!!. So he had to wait for someone to enter, as a person always carried their shadow with them.Entering the hotel, he kept hopping into people's shadow, both hotel employees and guest, till he reached his destination; Room 199. Exiting the shadow of the hotel cleaner, he slid inside the room through the gap under the door, which thankfully was dark, the only source of light in the room being a single red light bulb.The darkness could not inhibit Jacob's vision though, as his Shadow Element granted him night vision, although he c

Natalia(2)Shifting back slightly, she created a little distance between her and the man; how had he tossed the other man back with just a wave of his hand??."(Sigh), don't be scared. I just want to ask, did he force you to do this??", Jacob asked, as he set up a Space Wall around them, blocking out the man's obnoxious yelling.Looking down, Natalia started folding her fingers again, as she wondered if she should tell this man the truth. But yet again, even if she told him, would he care??, he might just be after her body like the rest; a ravenous lion, her mama usually called them.But then again, he seemed gentle and also, it seemed like he was on bad terms with the other man, maybe he might help her??.Jacob didn't push her for an answer, as he gave her time to decide on her own.She finally decided soon enough though, as she opened her mouth and said; "Don't worry, if you are worried I can't handle the both of you, then you are mistaken, I can and I will!"Hearing this, Jacob alm

Closure(5)Shifting his gaze towards the bathroom, Jacob waved his hand again, as the bathroom door opened, a man in towels tumbling out."Arrrrrrrghhh, I will kill you, you son of a.....Wait, where did that little sl*t go??".His lips twitching, Jacob marvelled at the man's colourful vocabulary. Seeing Jacob standing by the door, Noir figured that Jacob must have let the girl out. What kind of a hotel would allow strangers into an occupied room anyway....He had to find a way to exploit them, and even maybe sue them after dealing with this kid."You don't know what you just did, Who the hell are you and where is the Goddamn girl??", Noir yelled as he quickly tapped around the bed for something. Finding it, he cocked his gun as he pointed it at Jacob, a derisive smirk playing on his features. This scene brought a lot of memories to Jacob, as a sense of Deja Vu washed over him....Except this time, the outcome would be different. "You know what??, you look pretty yourself, I would hav

Closure(6)It was almost midnight by the time Jacob got out of the hotel, the late night wind bringing chills down everyone's spine. Jacob sighed, he had finally gotten what he wanted; knowing the person behind his parent's death. But, the discovery was baffling; his dad always mentioned how great of a colleague Mr Paul Connor was, and how much he appreciated him, so then, why would he want their death??.Using the system, he found out Paul Connor's location; Lith's Automated Tech. He must have been working overtime for him to still be in the office this late. Executing the new {Blink} skill he got, Jacob's figure vanished, as dusts of silver settled on the ground.In the hotel, Noir's figure was sprawled on the floor, which was strange, since there were no sign of injury on him. But on taking a closer look, Noir seemed to have aged considerably, as his once black hair had turned white, with strands of the hair falling out. His eyes were sunken, as they seemed to have witnessed a terr

Final Closure Looking at the dizzying 200 meters below him, Paul swallowed in fear; he had to tell the truth!, the kid in front of him suddenly didn't seem like a kid anymore."What do you want to know??", Paul asked, as Jacob only stared at him; he wasn't going to repeat himself again."(Sigh), Sebastian was truly a great colleague, the type that comes into the office and hands out coffee to everyone. The only thing that I didn't like about him was, no matter how care free he was, he was also really hardworking. I found out that the company was planning to promote one from the both of us, and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who was going to get the promotion. So, I did what any sane bussinessman would do, take out the opposition", by the time Paul finished his confession, his voice had gotten more and more strained, as Jacob tightened his grip."Hey man, what the hell. You've gotten the confession you want, let me go", Paul yelled, flailing his legs about. He even secretly wo
