Blood drips down the side of John's face. It stung whenever he got cut by the butcher knife.
Hilda also received a wound on her shoulder. She quickly retreated back, the puppet could still feel pain, but she could gain an advantage.
"Get him first! I'm still OK!"
John shouts to ease Hilda's worries. The fight would be instantly over if the mystic is dead. And the old man knew that too. Hilda quickly splashes her blood onto the two guys that she is fighting and chips herself in the arm. The puppet recoils in pain, and that is the opening Hilda needs.
However, In that instant, the mystic came up with a great Idea. The guy that was fighting Hilda began to lose their reaction speed.
Even by a little, Hilda could tell immediately that something was up. John could also tell since he began losing rapidly. Cut and bruise began appearing more frequently than before.
The old man is attempting to take him out, making it four vs one against the maid. Hilda realizes this as well and turns to face Master.
"Kill him!"
John is decisive, it's not fatal for him to take these hits if he were careful enough. This is a body that has been somewhat trained to be a mystic. He could endure this kind of wound.
Hilda received her order and ignored the guy who was fighting her. Since their reaction time is been lower they couldn't keep up with her advance. Her knife shone as it swiped at the old man's neck.
The knife went through the flesh but it's not the old man. He switches the main control back over the guy fighting the maid. They quickly react and block the lethal blow. Hilda couldn't help but be annoyed with this. However, at least she could take out one of the guys.
"I'm not that easy you bitch!" The old man said laughing "You should have taken my offer! Play time's over now!"
The old man just finished something, he clapped his hands together and a wave of air pressure could be felt passing by. All the people that the old man has been controlling shake uncontrollably. The old man smiles at his victories.
John had no idea what was going on, but he used the opportunity to take one of them down with his pitchwork. He still avoids being lethal, only striking the man in the stomach. He pushes it against the wall, pinning the body.
John turns back, hoping for another opportunity to take more down but it seems that window has passed. Even in the dark, he could see that the body of the wooden pole guy has became crimson red. their eyes ooze like they would fall off at any moment.
AHGHAGHAGHGH
Their scream of pain causes him to snap out of his daze. Their body flew at an inhuman speed, John yelped and dodged to the side.
Boom!
The building wall didn't last. Sending a loud boom over the city. That move now put this fight on a timer. The city's enforcer or priest could arrive at any minute now. But the old man doesn't seem to need any more time.
John is horrified, the wall has broken, as has the guy he has pinned down. Blood splatters everywhere, like fireworks. He couldn't even make out who the guy is now that he was splattered. The most horrifying aspect is that he has to deal with that thing.
Boom!
On the other side, Hilda receives the full blow of the buff-up guy with a blade. She was about also to take advantage of the transformation but the old man's minion seem seemed to change faster. The knife absorbed most of the blow and bent backward However, the force still sent her flying into another building. She let out a quiet moan and got herself back up. Her knife has to be discarded for a new one.
Oddly when she has broken through the building, there is no reaction from the inside. Hilda couldn't think more about it before the guy broke through the building. This time his shirt was ripped apart, revealing a bulging muscle that looked like it was about to pop. The vein throbbing, pumping the guy full of blood.
Their faces morph into an unbearable state. It hardly looks human anymore.
AHGAGHAGH
Another painful scream came through as it was charging at her. Hilda was worried about her master but she had to save herself first. She dodged to the side, letting the massive body run past her. It easily broke through another building.
After fighting it for more than a second, she could see a glaring flaw in these things. They don't have fine control over their body. They have so much muscle and mass that the old man properly has a hard time controlling it.
However, They were still a threat, With their power alone she couldn't ignore them.
She flips over a neighboring wooden table and hides behind it, giving herself time for thought. A short look around might give her an idea. The individual could only charge in a straight path, therefore the best strategy is to move away from them and dodge to the side.
The guy emerges from another room looking around. The old man still has control over these monsters, he looks around and does not find the maid. Looking through the moster vision is getting harder and harder because it can see nothing but red.
At that moment A knife came right at the entrance of the red monster's head. he bends backward a little and moves his head back to see Hilda. It charges at the target.
Hilda quickly moved over and let it pass by her, however she was not in the clear yet.
Boom
Another sound came from the side. Hilda looked over and saw another guy charging at her. She completely forgot that there were two of them left. It's too late for her to dodge this guy.
She uses both her knives to form a cross blocking the guy's shoulder charge. However it' was futile she couldn't fully absorb the blow, instead, she chose to redirect the charge to a different place.
Her knife bent out of shape again and had to be swapped out for a new one. These et are her last, she needs to make this count.
