“Emerge from darkness, blacker than darkness.
Purify that which is impure.” Says the man stood before them.
They remember that chant from what Yaga taught them, they just cast a Veil.
The man lunges towards them, trying to punch Runa, Ryuki parries with the dagger, but for some reason, sparks fly when he parries the man’s fist?
The man diverts his attention to Ryuki, swinging at him, Runa takes the chance to stab him in the abdomen.
Only for the blade to stutter, not impaling him.
Ryuki blocks the swing with his dagger, but gets thrown into a wall.
Runa jumps back.
“And you are?” Ryuki says, groaning after being sent into a wall.
I got so excited i skipped introductions, how awful of me!
Truly dreadful!” The man says with a grin only a psychopath could bear.
The man looks over to a plaque on a wall, it reads Hans
He looks back over to Ryuki and says with a stare reaching into his soul “That’s right, silly me.
I’m Hans!”
Ryuki looks a bit confused by the matter and cant help but wonder if he is ok in the head, but his thoughts are interrupted by the madman “Hans” barrelling right for him.
He jumps to the side and tries to use the opening to cut him, only for his dagger to scrape along his skin, making the sound you get from dragging metal across metal.
Hans turns to attack Ryuki again, and Runa leap over Ryuki’s head and lands on Hans, pinning him to the floor.
Hans with the detached look still reigning on his face, retracts his legs back, and kicks Runa backwards.
Runa and Ryuki keep trying to cut him with their weapons, but nothing happens on contact.
Ryuki swung for his hand, only to have his dagger caught and thrown.
Runa aimed for his head, only for him to catch the blade in his mouth, then bite down and through it.
Somehow he was like metal, but how?
Ryuki wondered for a second before zoning back in.
“Hey, you got a technique Hans?”
Hans ignores the question and lunges forwards at him, only for Ryuki to parry him with his hands and throw him over his shoulder.
“I’m guessing it lets you make yourself metal, or at least act like metal.
Am i right Hans?”
Runa watches as Hans mindlessly lunges and charges, but fails in his attacks every time, while also ignoring every question he is given.
Suddenly, blood spurts from Hans’ forearms, and weird pitch black blades come out, before bending to face Ryuki.
“Not quite, Blonde Sorcerer.” Hans says, no longer acting like a madman, now looking composed.
