As Charles was fully healed. His eyes flickered open. "What happened?" Charles asked if he was clearly not in a happy mood.
"I am a member of the House of Evolution. We have released a hundred Evolved Ghouls and you have fought one of them." The member of the House of Evolution. "Go to the slums and we will kill off the lower class." He said with a wave of his hand.
"When I get my hand on you." Charles snarled. Getting ready to kill his enemy in front of him. The figure started to chuckle.
"Charles, channel that hatred." The member of the House of Evolution. Before he disappeared. Charles entered back through the window. As he heard a sword being unsteathed. Seeing a clown wearing a mask with a tear drop. Wearing a jester costume. Holding a katana.
"Damn how did we let a serial killer in?" Charles asked.
"How did you beat Peri after I injected him with so much chemical V." The clown said. Charles charged. As he got close he jumped back. Why would he jump back?
"Really it clearly has some work to do." Charles said with a flat tone. Wait, why is the jester staying still. Wait, she is the user of Quick Draw that Charles was talking about. Charles jumped above the slash. He started to run and I followed Charles.
"Where are you going?" The clown asked. As she turned. Charles turned quicker, kicking her in the gut.
"I thought you could not move using Quick Draw, that's why you did not chase me that day." Charles said with a smile.
"Damn that is quite the level of physical strength." The clown spoke blood dripping down under her mask. Charles started to run once again. "Where is he going?" She questioned but I knew where he was going.
"There it is." As he got a hold of his replacement sword. It was a training sword made of Hyper Steel. Charles starts to charge. Their sword clash sparks flying off the blades.
"What are you?" The clown asked if they were equal in strength. Charles kicked the side of the clown.
"Just a mortal." Charles said with a small laugh. The clown had gotten back up. He kneed in the clown chest.
"You have the power of a vampire." The clown said as he Chaos Energy seemed to protect her. She glowed blue.
"Hyper suit." I said it was made to give humans the use of Chaos Energy. She ducts under Charles' slash. Stabbing Charles in the shoulder. Dripping down the Katana.
"Good job." Charles before punching her in the face. He slowly pulled out the katana. He focused that silver aura on his wound and it quickly closed. Throwing the katana at her feet then he started walking away. She got up and slashed his back. As the hit land the space warped around the blow then blue lighting surged out from the wound.
"Chaos Flash!" The clown yelled. "Chaos Flash. It was a distortion of space breaking the realm of chaos and material world. It has many effects. No one can land one at will, you have to get lucky." The clown said. The top of Charles' uniform was completely destroyed minus the mask.
"My body feels strange." Charles said it looks like his output has decreased. The clown kicked him. As she looked down at the fallen Charles. As she started to walk away.
"Goodbye." The female clown said with a smile under her mask.
"Let the hunt begin." His voice was cold. As Charles started to stand up his eyes glowing yellow. He was glowing.
"Why are you back up?" The clown asked. She snarled. Her Chaos Energy was bigger than before.
"Because I refuse to lose." Charles said with a snarl. His yellow eyes. The bright light covered him like armor.
"Fool." The clown said with malice in her voice. She was unhappy.
"Not that you." Charles said. This seemed to anger her even more. She used a wide slash. Charles parried the blow. Charles punched her in the gut. Followed by stomping on the foot crushing the ground and bones under the foot. Punching a clown in the gut. Then once again. Followed by Charles grabbing both of her shoulders, kneeing her in the gut.
"You should hurry. In the warehouse district many Evolved Ghouls will be released." She said with a smile. Landing a punch on Charles face. Then jumping out the window.
"Okay I need to get there but my sword first." Charles said running. "Get Arthur and Willam." He said with a wave.
"Brat." I complained why does he need to be such an arrogant brat. But I knew better than to say this out loud. As I started to fly to get the other two. Entering back into the party. Arthur and Willam rushed out. Knowing why I would be here.
"What happened?" Arthur asked. Still rushing down the hallway.
"Evolved Ghouls are going to be released in the Warehouse district." I told them as they will have to grab their weapon.
"Great Ghouls." Willam said with a snarl. Said as all of us take a sharp turn. As all of them enter the private tower. Seeing Charles in the Hell Hound suit.
"Get in the suits and let's get to killing." Charles said with.
"You seemed weaker." Arthur said. Charles seemed to ignore this comment. He jumps out of the window. I follow him closely. As he landed on the ground. Seeing many blood red eyes there were dozens of Ghouls.
"Sorry but I don't have time for you." Charles said his voice was grim. His sword was glowing with silver energy. He cut off the first one head. It turned to ash. As he used a wide slash cleaving many Ghouls in half. But as there were many more Ghouls. The Ghouls started to back off. As then Charles started to rush.
"We have to hurry." Charles said he had his Mythril sword at his side. He did not have his gun with him. As I entered his shirt as he leaped into the solar dome. Charles suffered minor damage. His clothes had minor burns and a few embers. We were now in the warehouse district. Kaabbooooom!!
"Arrrgh!" Hearing many roars after the huge explosion. It was the warehouse that was manufacturing weapons.
"Damn it." Charles swore. As one of the Evolved Ghouls. As the smell of blood filled the air. As Charles landed a deep cut on the Evolved Ghoul. Blocking a punch from the Ghoul.
"Arrrgh." The Ghoul howled. Charles rolled under the punch cutting off the Ghoul arm. Hopping on its shoulder then stabbing it in the head. It slowly started to turn to ash.
"Was that so difficult?" I asked if he had a much easier time.
"There is the same strength, but I did not want to hurt Peri Pluto as a servant of our house. But they are weaker." Charles said with a small smile. Of course that idiot would not want to injure staff.
"Arrrgh!" Another Ghoul attacked from behind. Charles was able to dodge. The hand of Ghoul was cut off.
"Get out of my way." Charles said with hatred. Stabbing his sword into the Ghoul head, blood spilled as it turned to ash. "Clearly they have not been injected with as much Chemical V as Peri." Charles growled remembering his ally's death. As suddenly something appeared behind Charles. It hit him with such strength it sent him flying.
"Are.. you. Hell… Hound?" Its voice was low and robotic.
"I have never met a Ghoul able to think for itself." Charles said with a smile. "But to answer your question I am Hell Hound, tell me where your boss is." Charles demanded out of the Ghoul. As the moonlight showed the Ghoul clearly. It had metal claws. It was bent over on all fours and four vials on its back connected to a metal spine attached to it.
"Kill… Hell. Hound…" It spoke charging at Charles. He was barely able to dodge. It destroyed the wall behind Charles. As it started to glow with Chaos Energy. Its aura was black and inky.
"What the hell." Charles said. Its open palm was slammed to the ground sending slashes of Chaos Energy.
"Kill.. Cleave.. My. enemy… Chaos Slash." After this the slash was much bigger. It knew how to use chants. Chants are used to make a clear image allowing the move stronger. It caused a deep cut on Charles' arm.
"Damn it knows how to chant." Charles snarled. His blood ran to the floor. Staining the floor crimson. He focused the silver aura into the wound. It started to heal. He barely dodged a punch, completely destroying the warehouse wall behind them. Charles was hit by a kick. Knocking him back into the wall.
"Have… To. Kill.. Hell. Hound.." The Ghoul said with a snarl. A small bit of its blood left its mouth. As the Ghoul leg muscle budging it launches itself at incredible speed. Slamming into Charles through a building.
"Charles!" I yelled worriedly as the building fell. The Ghoul rose from the rumble.
"Hell.. Hound… Killed." The Ghoul roared and it had pride. Letting out a beastal roar.
"Charles." I started to cry. Tears falling from my face onto the cold stone. As the rumble was thrown.
"Not dead yet. Bastard." Charles spoke. The Ghoul stopped. Turning back around. Chaos energy leaks out. Ghoul charged at breakneck speed. Punching Charles up into the air. Ghoul jumped into the air slamming Charles down with two hands.
"Why? Not.. Dead…" Ghoul asked Charles if he was bloody. Charles was now glowing. Charles punched the Ghoul. It burned the Ghoul. He was swatted away as if he was a fly. Charles' durability was his greatest attribute. He walked out of the rumble. Now Charles' forehead was bleeding.
"You people came into my house. I will not let any of you live." Charles spoke. His hatred was dripping from his words. His eyes glow and even brighter yellow. The glass was glowing yellow. His sword was glowing.
"Die… Die.. Die. Die! Die! Die!" Ghoul yelled. Charging like a wild beast. As he lands a punch. Space warp around the hit.
"Chaos Flash!" The Ghoul yelled as black lightning spread across Charles. As Charles was now knocked unconscious. Then the Ghoul was slammed to the concrete ground.
"Charles!" I yelled. Seeing his battered body. The Ghoul stomped Charles farther into the ground. Blood was spilled all over the floor. It then kicked Charles up into the air. He fell to the ground and his body was limp. Ghoul slowly walked to the downed Charles.
"Charles..? No. No. No." Ghoul said as it grabbed its head. As another voice spoke. "He was a friend." A small voice said. Blood ran down their cheeks.
"What?" I asked as I had no clue what this Ghoul was doing?
"It's me Kate. Remember that time you saved me from those bullies." Kate said blood tears fell onto his chest. "Kill… Kill.." A more demonic voice spoke as it came out of her mouth. "No, please run." She spoke softly, still her tears fell from her eyes. The droplets of bleed fell on his chest.
"Please be alive." I said an unknown feeling filling my chest. Looking at his form. As Kate was cut into small pieces. Then Seris walked up to Charles' body. As he glowed silver as then Charles' chest started to rise and fall he was alive.
"Let's get you home." Seris said as I got on his shoulder as we were in his room. He put Charles on the bed.
