VERNER: The Devil Hunter The haunted hotel Part 2
Tywin, Astrid and Erik got to the reception, looking all smooth and noble, the receptionist looked at them awkwardly when she checked for their reservation and saw it was a ticket for three, and they were two boys and a girl which was very weird because these kind of bookings were usually for one man and two or more ladies. She stared at Astrid with disdain like she was some sort of dirty slut thinking she was spending the night with two different men. The three of them walked casually as they tried to locate their room, only carrying some bags filled with irrelevant stuff so it wouldn't look like they came empty handed. Tywin counted the numbers on each door as he led them through the corridors, Astrid and Erik on the other hand were too busy admiring the marvelous paintings and sculptures that they found at intervals. "This place sure is fancy..." Astrid pointed out, she paused for a moment and gazed at a painting of a half naked female angel with wings and a halo over head

Cedar walked down one of the corridors in the hotel, he had his black sleeveless shirt with white wooly trims on as well as his white pants. Most of the sentinels didn't wear the standard Guardian society uniforms because they were more like esteemed members of the organization rather than it's workers. Cedar had his two straight and golden sickles strapped on his back as he actively searched for room 315, but noticed that something was wrong about the hallways as he kept seeing rooms of the same numbers again and again. "I've been here before, I've already gone through a bunch of stairs so these rooms have to be on the floors below but I keep on seeing them, something's not right about this place." He looked at a particular room door and memorized the number, "Room 250" he thought to himself" he took an elevator and sent it to go four floors up, and went it stopped, he came out and looked at one of the room doors, "Room 210?!!!, I knew it, something's definitely wrong with this
VERNER: The Devil Hunter The haunted hotel Part 4
Back in room 315 where Cedar instructed the kids to stay, Verner was still desperately trying to wake his comrades up. The little amount of gas that sipped into the room had already knocked them out so hard, but for some reason it didn't work on him, he was to anxious at the moment to think about that though "Tywin!!!, Astrid!!!, wake up please!!!, common we have to find Cedar!!!" he cried and begged, slapping and shaking each of them violently, but they were still sleeping sound, he gave up and paced around the room, sweating and breathing heavily "What do I do now?!!, what can I do now?!!" he wondered as he held his head with both hands, he had no idea who was behind this, how many devils where out there, and why master Cedar hadn't found them yet, the room doors were numbered so what was taking him so long?, all he had to do was count. Verner just stood and stared at the three sleeping soldiers that he placed on the bed, still deep in thought, he had to wake them up so the

"Thunder Flash Spear... RELEASE"Verner used the thunder spear attack to blast himself towards the monster and slash of it's head, except his blade got stuck in its neck. A massive shockwave was released as Verner's near light speed attack was halted instantly. "Dammit, I can't cut it's head, I can't pull out either!!!" he struggled frantically to pull his sword out but it was stuck halfway the the monster's throat, he put his legs on it's chest and used it to get extra pull force but it didn't budge, Verner had put himself in big trouble, he grunted and cursed as he kept trying to pull out his sword The monster breathed out and it's breathe stank like rotting corpses, Verner almost threw up right there, it violently grabbed him by his neck and flung him to a wall so hard that Verner broke through it and crashed into another wall inside the hotel room. The monster pulled the sword out of it's neck and dropped it on the ground then casually broke the wall and walked through i

290 Room series, a few minutes ago; "You really thought I was the one switching the rooms constantly, that was all Vagas, black night number 12, both of us made a binding vow to act as one and run this hotel as we noticed our techniques were very similar, so together we would be unstoppable, HEHEHEHE!!!" "Is that so?" Cedar asked, Callus stopped laughing immediately as he saw a spooky smile on Cedar's face, Cedar took his arms backwards looking like he was preparing an attack, and then; "Wind hex arts: revolving scythes!!!"Cedar pushed his arms forward swiftly and released series of sharp air currents shaped like curved sickles blades that all rushed quickly to Callus. Callus smiled and switched his position with Cedar to make him eat the attack that he just sent out but was very surprised when the air current sickes bounced back and cut him to pieces instead. "HAA!!!, Gotcha!!!" Cedar dashed towards him so he could slice of his head and kill him off immediately, but the cor

"Verner?...where did you come from?" Cedar asked as he was very surprised that Verner managed to find him in the midst of the constant switching of rooms, or did he get rid of the other devil?, and more importantly, what on earth could he have fought down there that make him look so ragged and worn out?. Verner bent down and offered him a hand to help him stand up from the floor, he yelped and grunted as he got up steadily with Verner's assistance, "that devil's rod must be made of diamond or something" he thought, considering how much damage it did to him with just a couple of hits. "Where are your friends?" "I don't know what happened but some sort of gas came into the room from under the door and the three of them just fell asleep immediately", Verner replied. Cedar was shocked as he remembered that the devil also tried to use the same attack on him, and was most likely why none of the guests in the entire hotel had woken up in the midst of these battles. "I came out of the
VERNER: The Devil Hunter The haunted hotel Part 8
Verner and Cedar watched Callus do all sorts of acrobatics with his chained rods then take his battle stance, Cedar held his sickles and spread his arms apart while Verner did the thunder spear pose "WAIT!!" Cedar commanded, Verner stood up straight and looked at him "What's the problem?" Verner asked,"This devil is much stronger than he looks, he has some sort of messed up ability that allows him to switch places with his opponents, so he could use it to his advantage and make us kill each other by switching places when we're just about to cut him down, the only reason you got him the last time is because he wasn't expecting it, neither was I" Verner looked back at Callus, he really didn't look strong, but he was black night which meant that he was definitely someone to be wary of no matter his appearance "You just called my dark magic art messed up, seems like all the beatings I gave you kinda knocked off your memories, because you'll know that I can be very dangerous when someo

"Verner!!!...Cedar!!!...where are you guys?!!!...Verner!!!" "That's enough Erik!!" Tywin shut him down, Erik sighed in frustration "Is it just me or have we gone through this corridor for like the third time in a row..." Tywin and Erik turned to Astrid who was observing the angel and devil painting she saw while they were searching for their room earlier "I don't see how that's possible" Tywin stated, Astrid still had her eyes fixed on the painting, "no, I can't be mistaken, I've seen this painting three times now in the last three corridors we were in, besides after going through so many floors we should have been at the ground floor by now, but we're still in the 200 series, doesn't that bother you guys?" Tywin and Erik glanced at each other,"I mean now that you mention it I think I get your point, it's been more than seven floors if I'm not mistaken and there are sixty rooms on each floor" Tywin pointed out "Which means that it should take us about five or six stories to get t

The majors vs the primordial
A few minutes ago: The three majors stood over the rooftops of the metropolitan buildings, surrounding the business complex that had Bane's wine bar at the ground floor, they were getting ready for a full scale invasion as they had gathered substantial intel on the identity and potential of the devil that ran this undercity business empire, black night number one, Bane. "How long are we going to wait out here Marvin?, it's almost ten o clock" Renae the new major of the thunder clan seemed very impatient, at the age of 21 she had never fought a black night before and didn't understand how much more powerful they'd be than the common red grades, Marvin the fire major and Hugo the major of the water clan were a lot more experienced and knew better than to jump in this early in the night "We'd be better of waiting here as long as we can, if what we heard is true then this devil we're about to face must be extremely powerful" Marvin stated. "The closer we are to sunrise the greater our

The daywalker
Bane's wine bar, the capital city, 9:30 pm A beautiful horse driven carriage pulled over at the front of Bane's establishment, a couple of men who stood around where drawn by the very fancy vehicle and the two brown horses that pulled it. Two hefty men who were most likely body guards stepped out of the carriage from the doors on both sides and one of them offered a hand to help their mistress step out. Belzara walked out of the carriage and looked around, she wore a very long suit jacket and trousers over a white top and black tie which was elevated by her huge breasts, as well as a black hat over her head to conceal her little red horns, her blood red eyes glowed in the dark of the night and her lips were the same colour. She walked into the bar hurriedly and was swiftly followed by her bodyguards, the men who hung around the bar had all their eyes on this fascinating lady, a few of the regular customers could have sworn that they had seen her here before. Belzara went into Bane's

A dangerous secret
Tywin arrived at the disaster management base on the island at sunset, the same place where Cedar was taken to for treatment, he brought Erik's dying body and cried out for help as many of the staff rushed and relieved his injured comrade from his hands. Tywin himself was very worn out, he had a punctured lung and many damaged organs and bones after fighting both Zaltar and Hector, the attendants tried to walk him in but he kept on wailing and just knelt on the ground. "Tywin..." He raised his head up and saw Daegan standing in front of him, Daegan had arrived on the island's sea port an hour ago after Cedar sent a pigeon to him during the night, just after Valdrik's invasion began, he took a horse ride to the management base as he couldn't find the interns he was supposed to carry home. "Where are the others?,...Verner, Skylar, where are they?!!" Tywin just stared at Daegan, he saw the grief Tywin's eyes, the poor boy must have seen very terrible things today, and that could only

True freedom
Hector was aghast as he watched Verner's halved arms fully regenerate, a million thoughts ran through his mind as the horror scene played out in broad daylight, a human with the power of devils?!!, a devil that managed to survive the sun?!!, whatever this brat was he definitely wasn't a normal human being. Hector shook himself out of his appalled state and drew his sword then charged at Verner; "I'll kill you again!!, damn devil!!!"He got to Verner and slashed at him, he gasped in shock as Verner had vanished from his sight and stood behind him "That's my sword isn't it?" Verner pulled out the thunder flash spear from Hector's strap and took it out of it's sheath, Hector growled and spun quickly to strike him again and Verner halted the attack with his own sword, a shockwave tore through the air as their blades jammed each other "He's a lot faster and stronger now, this is bad!!, this is very bad!!" Hector thought, Verner released his sword from the blade lock and attacked Hector

A zombie
"Where am I?...what happened to me?...where is everyone?,...Tywin, Erik...Skylar..." The island's forest had become very quiet and only the sounds of chirping birds could be heard, Verner's body laid in a pool of his own blood as his two arms were cut in half and his head was drilled open by Hector's dagger, all of which spilled blood like a bursted tank. The sun was at it's brightest and high up in the sky which meant it was midday, Verner's eyes slowly blinked as he gradually regained consciousness "Who am I kidding?,...why am I even doing all of this?,...I'm just a pathetic and powerless brat,...I don't deserve to be a devil hunter,...I don't have any reason to live anymore,...I should just die already,...yeah...maybe then I'll finally meet my mother,...that was all I ever wanted,...wasn't it?..." Verner began to see memories of his childhood, back when he was just a little boy, when he would come back home after spending a whole day playing with the village children, when his

Mission accomplished
Tywin, Erik and Skylar hid themselves in a building on the island, the place seemed to be an abandoned guest house that probably had all it's inhabitants evacuated during the devil attack early this morning. Skylar sat on a chair with her face in her palms, Erik paced around the room and Tywin peeked outside a narrowly opened window, looking out for any signs of Verner or Hector. "Anything yet?" Erik asked and broke the silence, Tywin shut the window and sighed in frustration, "no" he replied coldly. Erik had his hands on his waist and stared at the ground, deep in thought, Tywin bumped his forehead gently on the window repeatedly, the whole room was very tense and moody, they didn't know what to think, what to feel, they could only imagine what Verner would be going through out there, they felt it was best to hide incase Hector got rid of Verner too quickly and chased after them. "Why is all this happening to me?!!,...what did I ever do to deserve this?!!, all I wanted was a good

Hector strikes
"Tywin, Erik, take Skylar and run as fast as you can, I'll hold him off" Verner commanded, watching Hector very sternly, Tywin didn't seem to agree with his request; "No way Verner, this guy can kill you!!, if we're going to stop him we'd have to fight together" "We cant!!, you two are badly wounded, he'd take you both out immediately and I can't let that happen, get away from here as fast as you can, find somewhere to hide, we can't let anything happen to Skylar." Hector grinned as he watched Verner's heroic act, the whole scene was just so comedic to him, this kid really thought he stood a chance against him in a fight, or he was probably just sacrificing himself, both ways the result would just be his death and it would all be for nothing. Tywin left with Erik and Skylar, she took one last glance at Verner before turning to leave, this was most likely the last time she'd ever see him and the thought of that made her so distraught. Verner and Hector were now all alone, Verner

She's not worth it
Guardian society disaster management and paramedics arrived at the resort as the sun rose fully, they had a base at one end of the island as they do in every major residential area in Celestra to help survivors and bring medical support after battles with devils like these, the resort was in total shambles and all that was left was ash and wreckage of the destroyed buildings and facilities. Verner, Skylar and the other interns gathered around Cedar as he got his wounds treated and bandaged then placed in a stretcher. Tywin, Astrid and Erik also got their injuries tied up as well, Zaltar's cold blood attacks took a huge toll on them but it not nearly as bad as Cedar who might never be able to fight again. Cedar took one last glance at each of his students "Verner, Tywin, Erik... you..." he said as he couldn't remember Astrid's name, "The four of you should take Skylar and head to the port, this island is no longer safe for any of you, or anyone at all, I sent my pigeon to HQ last

The decisive battle
Valdrik stood still and really considered the stakes here, he knew very well that his plan to capture Skylar today was very implausible as time was not on his side, the sun would be up in any minute from now and he'd be doomed, Zaltar and the monsters that he sent after the princess had not given any signal till now, he already began to assume that they were dead, the odds were all stacked against him but he knew that if this operation was botched he would never get a chance like this again. He slammed his fist into his palm and summoned a ring of red flames around himself, Cedar smiled gleefully and spun his sickles; "So this is how you want it to be huh?!!""Dark magic arts; Crimson death wheel!!!" Valdrik launched himself with his red flames towards Cedar, he had to finish this battle as soon as possible or it would be over for him, this fight was all or nothing, Cedar ran towards him as well and swung his sickles at him, Valdrik was wading them all off with his flame covered fi
