Chapter 34 - Ch 33 - Absolution

"Joshua." I murmured silently as he falls back from his failed sneak attack. Shit. If he turns not only will the demon will get a chance to escape but Joshua might die like that man at the bar. I was to slow I should have pushed harder to banish him before we landed back down injuries be damed.

"Shing." A sword slash cut through the red man, clavicle to hip, like a knife though butter exposing what should be his insides but as a demon he lacked any organs so it was only his solid metal like centure. His body slowly split apart falling down apart not dead, far from it just injured and requiring time to recover but silently he fell making almost no sound as he hit the ground.

That moment of silence followed the slash as everyone tried to figure out what just happened and how Joshua was standing. His posture was much more aggressive and much more efficiently to swing his sword a lower centure and bent knees for much more free motion and power. A thought came to mind and I kept hoping I was wrong.

"Hahahahahaha." the demons laughter was the first to break the silence he understood first, He saw what I couldn't and it had him happy. There were only 2 things that could be and for a cainite that could mean it is only one thing it could be. And as a forgotten thoaty laugh echoed in my skull I made a move.

I Jump into the sky to cover it's escape paths but all it did was whip his chain, with a twist of the wrist and launch the bisected top half of the demon towards me. I batted him aside

"How, How did you figure it out?" I say my mind running through everything

"It was you my half-teacher, You speak too much!" He said in a tone full of condense as he

"You found me Without ever touching me. How could you have possibly done that."

"no." I say in a bated breath, dumbfounded by the observance of the persona as it launched an reckless attack at me beating a counter that would only serve to injure mandella.

"Yeah! Marking the mark makes so much sense you summon your weapon and change it at will YOU can mark from a distance"

"That's the problem isn't it Adam, You can only move in a straight line."

"But don't worry, I was always paying attention!" With that proclamation his

Your affinity with your legacies may increase but your normal skills are still lackluster

While it shurly isn't Joshua it is no better than him, it's overconfidence his own ability thought looking away mid fight was an unforgivable mistake. In that instant i used Burse Step to close the distance in an instance and use the momentum to kill him.

"Hahahahahaha" That dambed voice echoed in my head, giving me a small enough window of clarity to pivot and change the Nature of Bludster from kill to incapasitate

"Blunt Bludster Impak!" I Push my limited aura to the max i send the hightened point blank attack right into his into his chest. Cracking his ribs and crashing into him pushing off his feat and carrying him into the back of the domain.

"Adammmmm!" The beast screamed as the attack caught his core and sent it back shattering the barrier as it carried him further back past the collapsed crowd and into the building collapsing the wall before all its momentum came to a halt.
