Third person POV
Hearing that from a resident within the barangay, Hoshi and his group went there right away, only to see similar bite marks on the two goats. Now believing that the culprit was the same, the group decided to continue their plan tonight.
And then, all day, they passed the time by doing other things within and outside of the barangay. Hoshi and Mariya, alongside Taro and Saki, helped out in Lilibeth's house and small farm, while Sha and the others explored and ventured into Minalin's wonders.
ow, after sunset, the time had come. Hoshi, as Kuro, and Bokuto are patrolling around the community grounds while the others are on high alert in the other areas surrounding the barangay. The nighttime was eerily quiet, setting the mood for the night. Then, as the residents were preparing for tonight's various routines, the aswang jumped from the trees and scowled and growled at Kuro and Bokuto. Its bloody teeth and sharp claws are ready to strike both or one of them. Kuro and Bokuto were alerted and turned around to see it, before readying their weapons against it.
"It was you, right?" Kuro asked it seriously in a serious, deep tone.
Bokuto was ready to use his ninja skills.
But then, the aswang growled at them again and lunged at them. Kuro and Bokuto then dodged it, and Kuro fired dark aura magic at the hostile creature. The aswang dodged but got struck by his attacks a few times. Bokuto used his Aero Attack Art technique to try to distract and confuse the malevolent foe. It did so, and Kuro struck the aswang with his weapon, dealing big damage at the aswang.
This was noticed by the others in their group, and they went there immediately. Back at the fight scene, Kuro complimented Bokuto's ninja technique, and Bokuto smiled a bit at him. And then, as the aswang tried to get up from their attacks, Mariya and the others came in time and asked about the aswang's current state.
"It's now weakened…" Bokuto replied as he looked at them and then back at the aswang, which was now on the ground nearly crippled.
Sha and the others then looked at it.
"Wow…" Sha responded with awe.
"Looks so scary…" Taro added.
"Strange…" Saki added as well.
"Yeah…" Kuro replied back while crossing his arms.
"Man, that looked scary…" Sha responded.
"You can say that again."
But then, the aswang managed to get up and then lunged at the group. Kuro and the others dodged it, and Taro fired his gun with the Negative Energy Bullets loaded in its magazine. The aswang couldn't dodge his attacks and got struck severely. Sha then shoots balls of shadow magic at it, further weakening it. Mariya then cleared the area of residents, who had heard the fight scene and went there. And then, the aswang is now defeated. And Kuro and Sha decided to finish it off by sticking some cleansing talismans on the blades of their weapons and striking it with them. They did so, with Saki's assistance, and the aswang was killed by them, dissipating into nothingness and being sent to the depths of the underworld.
Seeing that the threat in their community had been vanquished and banished, the residents were in awe but were happy and grateful for their help and rescue. Kuro and the others saw that, and Kuro was happy mildly with good and low pride, before looking at Bokuto. "You're a smart one, Bokuto-kun…"
Bokuto was taken aback by it and was flustered a bit.
