Jason was half way through the alley way path he had taken when he suddenly felt a cold presence brush past his back. Without thinking too much, he flung the bags of boutique clothes into the air, whipping out the Daggers of Cain from the system in built Inventory as he stabbed one of his daggers behind him.
Whoosh!
A powerful invisible force suddenly crashed against him, knocking him against the wall of the alleyway. Ignoring the slight back pain, Jason immediately whipped up the Sprite Pupils. Following the change in vision, he finally saw his assailant.
It was a female Malevolent clad in red robes made out from ectoplasm. When compared to the previous Malevolent Jason encountered, the ecto aura surrounding this one was much more potent.
"Die!" the female Malevolent was oblivious to the fact that Jason could now see her as she sent three ecto threads in an attempt to wrap around his neck.
Snorting coldly, Jason backed up a bit as his wrist flexed skillfully, cleanly slicing off the three ecto threads.
It wasn't that he was an expert in this, but that the Klypt Daggers were just too sharp. It was like there was nothing in the world it couldn't slice!
"Eh?" although the three ecto threads Jason sliced off were nothing to the Malevolent, that didn't lower the astonishment she felt when she saw them being dealt with easily.
She had encountered a fair share of Mystique Hunters and never had encountered something like this.
As if to test something, she attacked Jason with five more ecto threads, only to have them cleanly sliced off, just like the earlier three!
Her theory was proven!
"Y-You can see my ecto threads?" she became visible while sporting a shocked expression as she scanned Jason sharply with her eyes..
Or to be more precise, the Klypt Daggers in his grip.
Ignoring her question, Jason broke off into a sprint, arriving before her as he sent a slash towards her neck. Thanks to Jason closing the distance, the Malevolent couldn't utilize her ecto threads in time, causing her to lean back.
Discovering the other party evaded his attack, Jason sent a kick towards her stomach, only to have his leg pass right through her. Having not expected this, Jason lost his footing, causing the Malevolent to slap him flying with five of her ecto threads.
"Idiot. Although she's visible, that doesn't make her tangible. Normal physical attacks don't work on her" Sofia's berating rang in Jason's head.
"What? then how do I kill her?" Jason slowly stood up on his feet.
Luckily he had been close to a wall or that earlier smack would've broken his back completely and not just give him a stinging pain on the cheeks.
"Use those daggers of yours. I have noticed they seem to completely ignore intangibility" Sofia replied flatly.
"What the hell are you boy? at first I thought you were just a random spunk in dire need of some haunting.. but it would seem you are quite something. No wonder you caught that person's attention" the female Malevolent said as she conjured up about a hundred ecto threads, forming a barricade like domain around herself
If would seem she had sensed the danger the Klypt Daggers posed to her.
"Someone sent you after me?.. why?!" Jason caught the hidden meaning in the Malevolent's words.
"I can on one condition.. that you gift me your head hahaha!" the Malevolent suddenly shot towards Jason at an insane burst of speed, the ecto threads barricade domain moving along with her as she sent twenty of them slamming towards Jason from four directions.
"Sofia, I need your help!" he hurriedly called out, only to receive no reply..
"Bi*ch!" cussing spitefully, Jason stabbed towards the five ecto threads coming from his left, when suddenly his knees buckled, looking like he was about to fall face flat to the ground. However this quick reaction of his caused the five ecto threads to shoot past him, smashing into the five ecto threads coming from behind him.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Boom!
An invisible burst of energy exploded outward from the unexpected collision, knocking trash cans into the air. As for Jason, he was helplessly swept off feet, skidding across the surface of the ground as the force of the friction peeled off some of the skin on his limbs. As for the Klypt Daggers, they flew out from his grip.
"Kekekeke" Jason heard a malicious laugh. He tried standing up to his feet, only to discover that his knee bone had been dislocated.
"Die!" the Malevolent appeared before Jason, sending out ten ecto threads pumelling towards his head with the intent of turning Jason's head into squashed watermelon.
"Hey Ghost lady. Why don't you pick on someone your own size huh?" a lazy voice rang from behind the Malevolent, causing her to halt her actions.
Looking behind her, the Malevolent suddenly gasped when she saw the owner of the statement..
It was actually a seven years old looking boy clad in bright purple trench coat and sporting a long raven black hair tied in a ponytail. Strangely, the features of the boy was quite feminine. If his chest wasn't so flat and his chin pronounced, he might've passed off as a girl.
"Miss me?" the eyes of the boy glowed brilliant purple as an invisible force suddenly swept the Malevolent off her feet, smashing her against the wall of the alleyway. Strangely even though the Malevolent was intangible, the force of the shove caused a deep fissure to appear on the surface of the wall
Ignoring James who was sprawled on the ground, the little boy levitated as he calmly floated towards the female Malevolent, who was still pinned to the wall, completely weak in the face of the invisible force.
"You!!" the Malevolent trembled as her whole body suddenly began to glow brilliantly like the sun.
"Self detonation? keep dreaming" the little boy yawned while lazily snapping his fingers, causing the glowing figure of the Malevolent to revert back to normal.
The expression of the Malevolent became warped in unspeakable terror.
"You work for Starlet, correct?"
"I work for Queen Starlet.." the Malevolent corrected in a shaky tone.
"Whatever" the little boy rolled his eyes, sneakily giving Jason a look.
"I have been watching you both altercation"
The Malevolent stiffened when she heard the confession of the other party. To think he was watching and she completely had no clue!
This newcomer was too terrifying!
"Why would Starlet be interested in a weakling such as him? after centuries has she grown so bored?" the little boy clicked his tongue.
"I-I don't know what the Queen intentions are. She told us to harass him with intent to kill " the Malevolent whimpered.
"Hm? you were not going to kill him for real?" the brows of the little boy rose in surprise.
"Those were the orders "
"How many of you were given this task?" the little boy asked.
"A-All of Us"
The little boy grinned.
"Interesting.."
Giving Jason one last curious look, he immediately lost interest as he focused his attention back on the Malevolent.
"Enough talking about that weakling. I have no interest in Starlet latest toy to satisfy her amusement. Who I am interested in today is you" an evil smirk appears on the face of the little boy as he snaps his finger, causing a purple colored portal to form besides him.
A cold and deathly aura wafted from the portal, as well as agonized walling.
"P-Please I will tell you everything you need to know. D-Don't.. D-Don't take me there please" the face of the Malevolent went ashen when she saw the portal.
"Don't worry. We both are going to have so much fun together. I just hope you survive it though" with another snap, the purple portal swallowed up the both of them before slowly dispersing into the wind.
