[M] Darkness and Gravity II (1/1)

C h a p t e r F o u r

Darkness and Gravity II.  "It's too quiet," Taeyang began as his eyes scoped the area unable to see a single thing even as he used his golden eyes to scan the outside. He and the two hunters, Jiyong and Min, were now perched on the ledge of the building leading to the outside main plaza area of the facility. The night sky had darkened and it kept them all on guard. Luckily Min and Jiyong were somewhat nocturnal, similar to their well adapted, temporary ally. Min sighed. "I don't like this." Like Taeyang said, it had become too quiet and no kind of moxie pressure could be felt or even detected. Not a single trace left behind, which was strange because moxie energy was something like foot tracks: evidence of it was always left behind. Jiyong and Min quickly noted that it felt something similar to Seungri's cloaking magic. That alone was enough to hint at the possibility that whoever they were dealing with were probably able to use charges, like the other Daeva's Min had come across earlier that day. Min couldn't help but feel a wave of worry slowly creep over her.  Are we too late? Did they go after the others?  Whatever the case may be, it was quiet and it wasn't boding well with either one of them. Especially since if Min was right about them being able to use charges or even cloaking abilities, then there was a strong possibility they were still around and that they were dangerous. "Let's head down." On Min's command the three jumped off, and though about five stories high, landed gracefully on the ground below. On their guard the three straightened up and looked around. A light wind picked up, making Min's and Jinyong's coats sway with it. Min stood in between the two men and slowly stepped forward with Taeyang and Jiyong right on her heels as the trailed just behind her. "What's wrong?" It was Jiyong's voice who made Min stop and turn around to see Jiyong looking at Taeyang with a curious expression. "Smell that?" Taeyang asked as he raised his chin and sniffed the air, making the other two do the same.  Jiyong furrowed his brows. "Smell's like-" "Sulfur," Min finished for him as she was able to get a whiff of the familiar scent of the damned. "Min, move!" Jiyong yelled out suddenly, and with precision timing rushed over to grab Min and quickstep them over to the side. and away from the monstrous shadow-like creature that had stomped it's way down on to where the three were once standing. "What the hell? I didn't even sense it," Min mumbled, obviously shaken up as she gazed over at the large seven foot monster, that although looked human in shape, was clearly not in appearance as it exuded a kind of black mist from it's body that encircled it. "It has no moxie pressure so if it's not in sight we can't sense it," Jiyong deducted right away as he watched whatever it was that was no in front of him. It wore a kind of all-black armor and even a helmet to match, but despite that being solid, it seemed like the rest of him was like smoke. His eyes glowed completely white and from him came a low grumble. Whatever the creature was, it was intimidating, to say the least. "Luckily it has a smell," Taeyang chirped from the other side as his sensitive nose crinkled from the unpleasant scent the monster was emitting. "What do you guys thing? Should we attack?" "We don't really have a choice, do we?" Min sighed as she straightened up and materialized her weapons, choosing her katana's straight away as her eyes were already glowing blue by the time she blinked. Jiyong also had adjusted his mask and now his eyes blazed red as he got into his battle stance, awaiting his leader's command. Taeyang groaned."I was afraid of that." And allowed his dark orbs to glow golden, but not fully phasing to either one of his two wolf forms: only one which was actually meant for battle. Min moved first and rushed toward the monster, dragging her two katana's through the ground and making them send sparks flying as she made her way towards him. She landed her first strike with her right blade against his armor before slicing the left blade through his arm. The monster bellowed a loud howl and struck her with his free arm, sending her flying backwards toward Jiyong. "His body is solid," She spoke loud enough so that both Jiyong and Taeyang could hear her. "Tough but not indestructible." Taeyang smiled. "That's all I needed to know." Running forward, he charged up his strength, making him glow a faint golden hue as he did, and punched right into the monster's abdomen,  earning it a large groan from the impact. Taeyang jumped back and watched as its armor slowly started to chip off. He can use charges too? Min's eyes widened recalling the way he amplified his power when he took out the giant without much effort. Taeyang clicked his tongue against his cheek cockily and licked his lips before walking forward. "This was what your friends were so scared of? Piece of cake." "Fuc-" Min stiffened, and stopped before she could even finish completing her obscenities. Jiyong mirrored her and stared at the direction behind Taeyang, grabbing his attention and making him grow nervous as he slowly began feeling a growing presence behind him. He looked back over his shoulder, and was shocked at what he saw. "No way." Where there was once only one creature, there were now no more than a dozen standing in its wake. "There are more?" "Move!' Min yelled and rushed forward to push him out of the way and succeeding. All the while Jiyong, who had moved ahead of her, blocked one of the monsters attacks. "Shit, they're fast." Taeyang growled after coming to a stop when he and Min rolled out of the way to safety. "It came out of no where." Min furrowed her brows and straightened up. "Guess we're going to see what they're really made of now." Taeyang looked to the side and say Min take her fighting stance. Giving a little huff a mumbled, "Thanks, Hunter" and rushed forward towards another enemy. Min smirked. "Don't mention it." Rushing forward, she let her glowing blue eyes burn brighter, summoning more power before jumping over the shoulder of one of the beasts and simultaneously slicing it's head off as she did. As Jiyong and Taeyang ripped through monsters left and right, Min did the same; taking down four more before settling down in the center of all the strewn bodies of
