"Huff!...huff!.. a-agh!... Haah!"
In the middle of the night, someone ran through the darkened alleys.
Their appearance was covered under the hood of their tattered black robe. As they ran, the sight under their cloak was revealed briefly.
Under the hood, the face of the person was revealed briefly, a man with brown hair and emerald green eyes with a slight stubble on his face as sweat ran down his face, intermingling with the blood flowing from his head.
He was wearing a white shirt and black pants with multiple cuts and tears leaking blood as he continued to run barefoot while tightly holding a long slander wooden box.
It was black like obsidian, reflecting no light except for the ones glowing from the root like veins all around it that glowed with a ominous blood-red hue.
"Stop!"
A voice commanded, making the man freeze up immediately as if his body had turned into stone.
His eyes widened in panic but no matter what he did, his body didn't budge, stuck to the ground.
"you've made us run quite a lot. I must commend you,you've made us waste 3 whole years."
The owner of the voice was revealed to be beautiful girl with snow white skin in her late teens, wearing the apostle combat gear with a white robe over it, the church's emblem ingraved onto its back.
Her long silver hair were tied in a pony as her golden eyes glowed with authority.
Two golden lines came out from both sides of her mouth, making circles on each sides and continued upward, going over her eyes and reaching into her hair.
"Now, let's get some answers, like what is that thing you're carrying?"
She said jn sweet and gentle bell voice that could melt anyone's heart.
"F-fu-fuck off!!!"
Tho, the man wasn't in the list of 'anyone'. He continued to struggle, trying to break free from whatever the girl had done to him.
The said girl simply shook her head in disappointment and took a step closer.
"You should reconsider. If you tell us everything, the church might lighten up your punishment."
She said in her sweet voice with hints of genuine concern but the man did not care as he was finally able to move his hands a little.
"I'll tell you... you..."
He said, gritting his teeth making the girl beam and clap her hands in delight.
"Wonderful! Thank you for your cooperat-!?"
"DIE YOU BITCH!!!!"
He suddenly yelled and forced open the box, red and black tendrils shot out and around him. As they expanded further a hand came out of the shadows of the alley and took a hold of the startled girl's white robe, pulling her out of their reach.
"That's why I told you to wait for me, maria. Now look at this mess."
A deep masculine voice reverberated throughout the alley, heard clearly even with the sounds of squelching tendrils.
The girl's face flushed in embarrassment as she pouted, the golden marks disappearing from her face.
"Hey! I had it under control! I'm not a kid you need to look after!"
She yelled at the person who walked out of the shadows, revealing him to be subaru. He looked to be around 19, his body much more muscular and his facial features sharper.
"You're 12. You are a kid. And this is your first mission, I need to make sure that none of the apostles get killed before the gates open."
He replied calmly with little to no emotions, cracking his joints, he prepared to end the situation before it escalate any further.
Or so he thought. A gaint golden hammer swung from behind him, the force of its impact making him plant his face into the floor.
The attacker was revealed to be none other than maria, her skin was beet red from anger and embarrassment as she gripped the weapon of Devine concussion in her hands, her teary eyes glared at the downed man, twitching on the floor.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?!?"
Pushing his hands on the floor, he got up. Pieces of concrete stuck to his face as it contorted with a annoyed scowl, glaring at the girl.
"IDIOT! Don't act like an adult! You're 13! Not much older than me!"
They continued bickering completely forgetting about the man that writhe on the ground.
The red and black tendrils dug deep in his body, draining him off of his blood and life itself. His body began to shrivel up, his flesh ripping apart and turning into the same tendrils that were killing him.
In seconds, there wasn't a trace of the man left. Only the tendrils and the box remained.
The two were still bickering until subaru felt danger from behind. Grabbing the startled girl, he jumped on the wall to reach the roof.
Looking down, he stared at the mass of tendrils now condensed into a grotesque monstrous form.
"This just keeps getting more and more annoying. That's why I told them to let me do this solo."
Subaru sighed in annoyance while glaring at the monster below.
It seemed like a mix between a human, gorilla and oddly enough, A dog. It was red like blood, the condensed tendrils resembling muscle fibers making it look even more disgusting.
Subaru dropped maria on the roof and for some reason, took out a cigarette.
"Stay put. I'll handle this."
He commanded with authority, making maria look at him in annoyance.
He spun the cigarette in his fingers... like a badass.
He lit it up by spinning a lighter in his palm... like a badass.
He tenderly brought it to his lips, taking a breath He exhaled a white ploom of smoke... and promptly doubled over, coughing his lungs out... like a badass.
Maria patted his back, supporting him while trying to hold in her laughter.
"W-why pfft- why would hehe- you try to smoke if you keh! Can't handle it?
He weakly glared at at her with my teary eyes. Before regaining his breath and stabilized himself.
"I'm just trying to get used to it before the the testing of deathly vice commences. Now, I'll finish this before I make a bigger fool out of myself."
He said, jumping off of the building, a great sword of golden energy materialized in his hands raised above his head.
The monstrous beast sensed the incoming danger and looked up as subaru descended, the blade slashing downwards at it.
The moment the blade made contact with its snout a blinding flash occurred before everything turned to black.
