Apparently, the smokes doesn't even hinder him to find Tori who trying to running away.
After gripping Tori right on his masked face, the guy then lifted him up above, leaving Tori's feet up above the ground.
Doesn't wanted to gave up yet, he took another two Torpefied Ring from the bag, holding it with both of his hands, while it sizzling with the blue electric strings.
*Pzzzztzt*
Tori then directed it to the hands of the man in white coat, very well aware that his mask will prevent the electric current to paralyzed him too, which will become a nice sweet chance for him to running from the current situation he's in right now.
*Clack*
The ring then fastened on the manvs wrist.
Indeed, true to his expectations, the man that holding his face soon started to stiffened, though there doesn't seems to any reaction that made him look like electrocuted, just like what he used on the man in black, but nevertheless, it worked anyway.
The man losing his grip that put Tori feet finally again meeting the floor.
He then immediately swiftly running to the side of the man, jumping from the balcony passing the balusters.
He planned to reaching down the window on the first floor to quickly retreating away from that fishy spooky man, that put a shame into the pumpkin ghost.
And the most important thing is, that man managed to make him feel so weak and giddy. Putting his feeling aside, his pride can't tolerate it. He can't. And never once he wanted to lose in such a fashion.
The sole of his feet then burst out fire that put a strong impetus which propel him faster, closing to the window where he slipped himself inside the building.
Closer…
And closer…
And closer… …
In that slow brief period of time, he could feel his heart beaten hard while his lughole caught the roar he recognized as the blue beasts and the screeching voice of the unknown thing that he guessed before as something that seems slithered on the floor, perceived into his eardrums that quite put a panic into his now restless heart.
Just when he thought with his full of snazzy expectation.
That he could finally managed to go out, running away from that place that he guess as some short of place selected and inhabited by a crazy scientists illegally experimented and altering Genetic.
Then…
Everything's quickly goin' down the drains.
Because something, quietly,
Caught his leg.
It was.
…
It then flung him to the sizeable wooden grandfather clock that standing quietly and innocently, leaning at the wall of the first floor. He crashed at it that put the clock smashed and snagged to chunks of woods.
He thrown so hard that almost put his sentience slipping out from his head.
*Bang*
"Uhhh… Arrrggghhh."
Amidst its excruciating physical suffering that striking repeatedly at his chord, he managed to glimpse at his left leg that gripped hard till he can't find any sense of touch from it, except the cold, wrinkled but also mushy and rough surfaces feeling that clutched tightly at his leg, puzzled him for a moment about what is it that gripping his leg right now.
But…
He found nothing. There's nothing there.
It was something invisible.
Something that feels like,
A hand.
Without even giving him more chance to think through, that invisible thing again flung him to some broken tables and chairs until he losing his consciousness from all the hit that inflicted to him.
…
While on the dark space where light cannot reached, and eyes cannot perceived, there's two man dressed in all black watching quietly all the scene that unfolded before their eyes.
"Is it now." Asked someone recognized as a man, who looking at the battle.
"Wait for a little longer. Those guys will be here shortly. Cheww, chewww, cheww…" Replied by the other man who seems busy munching on his gums.
"But why..?"
"Eyyy… Sigh, he's one of Egrius Candidates. Origin Protection are still inside of him. That poor guy doesn't even aware who's he's messing with. If he knew, heh. He'll quietly running now. Hhahah."
"I know 'bout it. It just didn't sit well with me seeing him beaten like that. Poor child."
"Oh c'mon. Aren't you curious too? Seeing the fight of a soon to be candidate, but already have such a high combat capability before even Ignited his own Soul Nucleus. Even the Igniters inside Justice Enforcers approve him so much. They say he is a golden egg. Quite good for mortals, indeed." Said the man who chewing on the gums, sarcastically. Thinking their praise are somewhat exaggerating, trying to ignoring how Tori could reach the top of sixteen feet vertical wall with his height, that absolutely impossible for regular humans.
The man at the side silenced hearing that, ignoring his causticity comment. He then said, "I heard something's happen when he's still a child living with Rysch Nobility. But that news is recondited till it was nothing but a rumor. The Emperor's side seems quite particular about his well being…"
"I heard of it. But… Huh…???" Something's that he wanted to said then cut short by what's he saw.
…
While the invisible hands lifted the unconscious Tori above to the second floor, until it facing the man in white coat who now could be said not quite in a good mood.
"Lucky I still had something protecting me, or I'll hurt from that gun. This kid infuriated me so much." He said while caressing the mask of Tori, that his body now floating upside down in front of him.
"But still, he's rare specimen. I rarely got the pleasure to cut open the body of a possible cadet that yet ignited the flame." He consoled himself for the all trouble that Tori managed to give him.
But suddenly.
Something seems put a chill on him, creeping silently on his entire body.
Like there's something ferocious just opening its eyes shortly.
And now.
He unluckily is the first one its eyes laid on.
He then looked to the supposed unconscious Tori.
Exactly at the blue spectacles on his mask.
And true to that.
He could sense the source of the vicious and dangerous feeling, coming straight from it.
Following shortly.
The invisible hand that looked like a hand of humans that actually are a hand with pale white skin with full of wrinkle, and long sharp nails, now are melted quickly like a butter on a pan.
It soon put Tori body fall following the gravity, but…
His hand suddenly shoot to the balusters.
Twisting around on it, he then jumped to the white coat man while putting a punch of his to the latter face.
*Bang*
The man managed to blocked it with his hand.
But to the man's horror, he pushed fast to the back until crashed unto the wall that now cracked.
*Crack*
While Tori right skeleton hand are broken from the strike he launched, the man in white coat hand that used to block the punch are now burning with blister on his palm, along with smokes coming out from it.
'How? I thought he's not Igniters yet. Why didn't he used any Rune before?' He thought.
After landed on the floor, Tori that now giving different vibe from before then running to the man.
Dodging the punch with ease by dropping down slightly and tilted to the side, he then kicked with his left leg that thrown the latter far from his original spot, crashed to the back side of the blue beast.
*Bang*
*Crash*
The blue beast who seeing his master assaulted then roaring angrily, following by charging at Tori with thumping sound from its step.
*Thummp*
*Thummp*
*Thummmp*
Just when the blue beast wanted to punched the guy who dare to hurt its master, it suddenly lost the presence of its target. No vibrations that caught on his ear.
Tori who now above in the air then punch with invisible white fire that covering his whole hands, striking right to the head of the blue beast.
*Bang*
The sound of the punch then reverberated, spreading through covering the interiors of the whole building.
The blue beast head now could be seen pasted right on the floor till it almost broke. The hands at its back that at first stagnant, quickly trying to assault Tori whose hand still on the blue beast head.
But Tori just took a glance that soon put the cluster of hands, sliced apart.
He then continued by banging the head of the beast until the floor is broke and made it fall, crashed to the ground floor harshly.
*Slash*
*Bang*
*Crash*
The two guys with all black clothes who stay at the darkness, looked dumbfoundedly at the scene permeated deep inside their eyes.
"That."
…
While the guy who chewing at the gums that now agape, slowly replayed back the memories when he had a short encounter with the members of the Justice Enforcers Main Groups.
"Sopp, So you're the guy asked to keeping safe the boy, eh." Asked the man who walked approaching him with the others.
"Yepp. Hmmm. He trained for quite a while here. Tell me few things about him." He said coolly.
"Even before he was confirmed to had Gricius talent, we knows he's special." Said the woman at the side, while the man who he originally asked still contemplating on what to say.
"???. What do you mean?" He said perplexedly, while lifted his eyebrows.
"Just… Make sure not to let him unconscious, or fall under any threat of death." Replied the woman.
"Excuse me?"
"Well… We forbid to say any about it." She said with a teasing smile. While the others soon laughing at her words.
"Hahahaha…"
"Huhh."
They then marching away, leaving him befuddled at how foggy what she said.
While the man he originally asked finally spoke, "Just make sure you take care of him well. He is our golden egg here at Justice Enforcers. This place… I mean this city is running well. Literally too well if compared with other city thanks for his,,, well, you could say money injections. His talents also one we took proud too. He's the youngest to ever joinin' on the mission. Of course, a lot doesn't want to had anything's happen to him. So, we made his test far from the standard of Scavengers group. All's is progressed like our intended plans. But… … That's where we found his abnormality…" He said mistily.
"Oh not again, just said it straight would you." He said, complained of how he beat around the bush.
The man just smiling, then saying, "Just don't let him fall unconscious. If it's happened without you could interfered… Then… Here's advice for you… Took both your hands up, approach him slowly. When the distance is enough, then use Rune to quickly put him into a sleep. And you're good to go." At the end, he nodded his head approvingly of his method that just composed shortly after thinking about it, with expression that proudly said, 'I'm smart indeed.'
Then a voice came suddenly from the side interjected his snotty thought, "Don't listen him. He is unreliable jerk."
"Hey!! Say that again!" The man said angrily.
"Unreliable. He's more of a dumbbell. Heck, who the hell trying to find toilet when everyone on such tense situation." Said another man loudly.
"At least he still had his own pants."
"Whahahahah…"
"Yeah, at least he doesn't forgot it."
"Whahahha…"
The guy who were the target of the trash-talk are speechless.
While the man who chewing on the gum just feeling regrettably bland while thought inside, 'I shouldn't asked anything and just leave quickly.'

... April 13, 3006 This may all be just a coincidence. That's the conclusion that crossed my mind at first. But the fact is that at midnight last night, at 11:56 to be exact, the five of us somehow ended up at the cemetery, because of this darned Rick of ours. The night before we were at the graveyard, Rick invited the four of us to a restaurant. I was really surprised at how terrible, gloomy and wretched he looked. Three days absent out of school, he looks like he's been sucked by something. Rick told us about his nightmare, then kept begging us to keep him company. In short, he was haunted by a creature that looked like him, but with pale white skin and a smile so wide it ripped his cheeks to bleed. The ghost kept talking to Rick face to face, with its loud creepy whisper. Trying to say something secret, but insisted to voiced it out louder. It told him about various vicious and gruesome things like, they ran when I only killed few among them, she cried, beg, screamed agoni

... Still Gavin POV* … As far as I can remember, Peter was somehow always able to predict lot of unexpected things like accidents. Meanwhile, I can only stand still, unable to feel anything. He had an amazing feeling when something bad was about to happen. This managed to leave me speechless, seeing how objectively unreasonable it was. Peter is also the only friend I'm really close with. I myself don't like having relationships with other people, in a sense which is a bit odd for some reason. I just wanted to be left alone. And often that desire gets me really into a lot of trouble, because I can't even ask other people for help. Apart from all that, then I met Peter as someone who I think or you could say my initial assumption is someone who is quite annoying, but sometimes or more often than not, I can't deny that his opinion is somewhat reasonable. As much as I keep myself busy with everything I delve and learn. I came to the conclusion, that life is about how much valu

"Continue." Said Nilfour. "… Okay." Peter replied. "When Rick drove us there, he was still in the same state. When we got there, there was indeed odd mist in the cemetery that i saw. But, about the black tombstone. I. ummm." Peter glanced at the silent Gavin, listening to what he had to say. Despite the things that Gavin doesn't believe in, along with all of his conjecture and theory, he is someone who tends to listen, and argues in his thoughts until he is very sure of the series of words he composes and arranges in such a way, only to often pass the time the conversations of

… … … The Mourning Templars are Undead wearing worn and rusty drab armor, with remnants of dirt and mud. With lots of damage and cracks in its armor, one could also see the brownish flesh, rotting with full of holes and maggots squirming in and out freely as if it was a natural thing in the house they lived in. While the maggots also have many irregularities with their pale pink color. And if observed closely, the maggots were also larger than what's in general, along with sharp teeth adorning the part that could be guessed as the head. The Mourning Templar also didn't wear the iron helmet that was supposed to be part of its armor. All that was revealed was a decayed head, melted eyes and loose wrinkled skin with few hairs stuck by some slush. Teared rotten flesh on its cheek also revealed brownish yellow teeth and dried blood. The rest of the body was basically pasty and rotten like a corpse should be, but had a lot of flesh missing or in the verge of falling off, including an

A really good choice for an entertainment." 04 is instead horrified. It gave him goosebumps all over his body. 'No way! Could it even possible learning human language. Before, the Demon only growled and roared with saliva flowing out of its mouth. What an abomination. Or maybe this is a different kind of Demons. If it is, then how strong would it be. Wait. If. If it may just recently learn about the language and doesn't understand much about human. Maybe I could try.
