Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 EVOLVED

The damned screeched while charging towards kael, but kael was a demon Hunter of parallel speed, dodging the attack with ease, In a flash he appeared behind the damned his hands weaving a ball of fire and he shut forth with deadly precision. Smokes could be seen from the attack, the damned came forth out of the smoke, it's skin scorched out and unleashed a deafening scream, forcing kael to stumble backwards, " damn it! " Kael muttered, his eyes narrowing, "i need to end this before my suit gets torn". With a sudden burst of speed, kael appeared behind the damned, his hands shooting a laser like flame that turned into a net like flamming box, trapping the damned.

In an attempt to get out, the damned touched the flamming box, burning it's fingers "Tsssrrrrrk" it screeched out. Kael wiped off his hands, "guess I'll be leaving here sooner than I've expected". But he's respite was short-lived... Two additional hands burst forth from the damned body, twisting like living serpents.The damned limbs numbered eight, each one flexing with malevolent strength. It's hair fell away like Autumn leaves revealing a scalp. The damned body expanded, it's muscle bulging as it grew larger than before and it's eyes blazing with an unearthly glow piercing the darkness. Hana's eyes went wide, widening in terror as she saw the transformation, "No...!" The word escaped from her lips in a barely audible whisper "it's evolving into a demon!" Her heart was racing in her chest like a drumbeat in a ritual, the damned new form was a More monstrous one.

The demon stepped out of the flamming box as if there was nothing, the demon sniffed the air, with a big grin on his face "haaaa, the smell of humans" he murmured, it's voice dripping with anticipation as his gaze fell on the humans,"I'll kill you, and you, and all of you" he said while charging with an incredible speed, his claws flashing in the dim light and heads rolling on the ground. The demon's movement was fast, each strike landing with unerring accuracy leaving his victims no time to react, sounds of screams and the crunching of bones filled the air. The demon's eyes locked onto Hana, and a twisted grin spread across his face,"your not like the rest of the humans, you have Aura and you'll taste good". The demon's laughter was a maniac one, sending shivers down Hana's spine .

Hana was filled with fear and panic as she realized she was his next next target. She turned to run, knowing her attacks would be useless against the demon but the demon accelerated towards her, with he's jaws wide open as he devoured her. Kael suddenly appeared, grasping the demon's head and twisting it backwards with a Swift motion. He followed up with a powerful kick, his knee connecting with the demon's chest and the force sent the demon flying, it's face scrapping against the ground. The demon sprang to he's feet, with a smile still plastered on his face, "well, that was fast and hard" he said, his voice filled with a twisted admiration "i like you, you have better Aura, and I'll...." Kael didn't let it finish speaking, as he launched a flurry of punches, each one landing with a force on different parts of the demon's body. The demon stumbled back, it's eyes widening in Surprise, "how can he hurt me that much after I've just evolved to a demon". Kael stumped the ground and the force made a massive rock to rise from the ground, sending it hurtling towards the demon like a projectile, the rock pierced the demon's body.

The demon pulled itself, and licked the blood from it's skin. "It looks like your trying to protect them by fighting me" the demon said while laughing, "let's see how fast you can stop the seven of us while we kill all your humans" it sneered, cloning itself and accelerating towards the defenseless humans. Kael's eyes flashed with determination as he gaze at the defenseless humans, with a Swift motion he loosed his necktie and flung it in the air. The tie was covered in a deep red Aura, and the tie spread out like a elastic rubber. Before the demons could even touch the people, the tie bound them tightly, chaining them with an otherworldly strength, the demons struggled to break free but the tie held fast. "What is this thing?" The demons said in awe. Kael removed one of his ring from his finger and casted it to the ground. With a Swift motion he cut his palm, he dripped the blood on the ring and it began to glow, the ring expanding to a larger size, it's mouth wide open.

"Everyone get out of here! This is a portal" kael explained. Hana led the rest of the humans alive into the portal, casting a final glance at kael, "i wish you good luck" she said and exited the scene. The portal contracted back into it's normal size. The demons broke free from the tie, their eyes blazing with fury, "since you saved them, I'll kill you!" They said while charging towards kael, with their eyes glowing more eerie than before.

"Your not the only one with monster eyes", kael said and he removed his eyepatch. A black and red eye could be seen, glowing with horror and Sparks around it.
