Finally, he arrived to the crime scene and asked about it from the nearby guard. They thought the culprit was a blood borne- an all-flesh being that seemed to attack man and animal for their blood to strengthen their bond to the netherworld and this intermediary world- as the guard that become victim and some guarded beast have been killed and their blood taken by claw like attack.
Pretty good observation on their behalf although I was aiming this to be High Vampire attack, that one sound better. And so on Zyca without knowing the real truth ransacked his brain to find a strategy in case if he found the Blood borne, knowing that his Devil’s Luck may trigger such possibility. I like that thoughtful part of this young one.
With nothing else to do as he can’t get his processed part of the G.G and Red Greater as the whole storage is a crime scene, Zyca returned to the Inn to eat dinner with his hungry stomach growling as he skipped breakfast and lunch. That is what would happen if he hadn’t heard a scream coming from a dark alley.
“it might be the blood borne, need to move fast” Zyca began forming chant in his mind ‘All-booster’ a buff that is not just a speed boost but all body and mental augmentation boost that also worked as anti debuffer in case the creature had trait of paralyzing, pressuring, or other mental disabler. He run swift as wind and yet silent as shadow with his ‘Shadow Stepper’ enhancement on his shoes which embeds the silent and stealth when one step unto shadows and because the dimly lit place shadow scatters everywhere, which made things easier for Zyca.
He rushed towards the distressed voice and what he found is damnation of brutal looking bipedal monstrosity, a beast with talons as fingers, standing on its tendril entwined legs with convulsing veins and deformed human face as its jaw filled with fang that each jutted out of its mouth…a freaking blood borne…this is malarkey…how in my watch a blood borne invade the city, is this a brought by Zyca Devil’s Luck, but the victim is almost dead from lack of blood. A female clerk by the uniform and satchel bag she wear.

It seemed like his gaze only on the woman. All I feel from Zyca is rage and coldness at this point, as if…ah right it almost look like that scene…how much of this is possible to be triggered by his Devil’s Luck.
“Hahaha…another one comes to bite the dust as he come to be my food” the cackling blood borne come closer toward Zyca pointing his bloody talon of a finger which Zyca didn’t bother to look at as his mind thought is what to do to save the victim “such poor lady, after losing her brother, the unfortunate guard yesterday that become our call now she will also joining him but alas I must say thanks to her for bringing another prey for me” twice the malarkey for the resemblance and that thing just said her guard brother died…Thrice damn it, how much nonsense of devil’s luck is this…I am going to deny this power later, huh. Now toward the Blood borne.
Zyca pulled out his sword and took a thrusting stance “Instant Movement”
Execution…Done without further ado as the victim condition may grow worse by second. “Assassin class, Temporal Lapse and Fatal Strike” no need for mercy to those without one. Zyca finish with his stab to the torso
“uh…” as the Blood borne falls, it look toward Zyca “what…are you?” he muttered those as his life energy beginning to decline with Zyca’s Essence Drain and the wound he took.
“I…am beyond what I am capable to imagine, yet as of now I am ‘just’ a young simple aspiring adventurer looking for fame” he said the precise role I told him.
He grab the dying flesh of monster and look upon its dying eyes “tell me, why you invade this human frontier city” now the questioning begin ‘Mind Pry’ activated “no need to talk” and ends.
He snapped the beast neck to weaken its neck structure and slice off its head easily, stabbed on its torso again and on same spot, its beast core or Heart.
“I now understand…the shadow lord are about to be awoken and a vile piece of work for my first hunt” he smiled maliciously “how vexing”

The High Angel Forynda has only tolerated this, however. She is concerned that ultimately the flaws of both angels and mortals would combine to create a cataclysm that would shatter both Vorlanys and the angels' home realm of Ceuna. Tragedies, unforeseen by any mortal or angel, set in motion that long-feared calamity and hurtle both worlds toward an irrevocable conflagration. Neither will ever be the same. Follow the lives of multiple characters, from lowly inhabitants of minor villages to the angels of Ceuna themselves, as they experience this approaching doom. *** -Book Two Synopsis- Ceuna has divided. Angels and mortals have taken their sides in a war for the fate of Vorlanys. Forynda, the High Angel and ruler of Ceuna, intends to end the entire struggle in a swift and decisive stroke with her awesome power. Meanwhile, the dissident angels, led by Omonrel, and their mortal allies cling to a thin hope that fate will break in their favor. All hopes for a quick end to the conflict will soon be dashed, however, to the detriment of all sides. The war for Vorlanys will take on a frightening new turn while mortals and angels alike discover previously unknown truths about their reality. ~~~ Some additional comments for readers: This is a project with a very ambitious arc encompassing a huge number of characters over a long period of time. If you are looking for a tight focus on just a handful of characters, that's not this story. It is meant to provide a broad series of perspectives on an absolutely calamitous world-shaping war.
