*** snore ***
*** snore ***
A deafening, otherworldly scream echoed from nearby.
Something out there was dying in some horrific manner.
It almost... -wasn't- loud enough to wake up Mizuki, who had
soon found that in sleep, humid vegetation was more
comfortable than it appeared. Mizuki awoke slowly... the
details of the agonized screaming growing more and more
terrible. Before long, her eyes were wide open, and she was up
on her feet, ready to teleport--
She could feel
something just touching her shoulder before she could even pay
attention to that same sort of unearthly, throaty sound that
the thing behind her emitted. Mizuki didn't even have to think
to teleport away at record speed... instinct was doing more
for her than logic. The demon-like creature, looking more like
a charred skeletal corpse of twisted bone than anything
'real,' howled in something that seemed like blood-lusting
excitement and frustration as it's claws grabbed only empty
air. Mizuki appeared meters away from it, turning around. She
was shocked and apalled by the sight before her... but she
tried not to show it. She didn't even have the time to make
any gestures of surprise. The demon looked unfazed by the fact
that she had just disappeared and landed elsewhere... for it,
any kind of blood was good enough, no matter what happened to
it's body.
// This is... what is it...? I... can't run
away from this stupid thing! //
Mizuki backed off
further, then realized that she had regained enough strength
after her rest. The jet black... thing, stalked towards her,
it's slimy tongue writhing out. Mizuki didn't want to see the
length of it's teeth... before it could do anything else, she
yelled, "Renenmaimizuki!" Her form disappeared in the air, and
reappeared right before the monster. Her fists covered in
bright energy, she spiralled a few times, knocking back the
monster's head and letting more of it's rotting body dissolve
into a black goo. All that was left of it's head was a
dripping skull... still, it lurched forward menacingly, even
as Mizuki teleported further away. Crawling... crawling...
groaning... Mizuki stepped forward just once, yelled more
words, and sent a beam of light right through the creature's
body.
// What?! It's still coming forward!? //
It's claws gripped the ground, clawing at it to get a
good grip... It's leg supports burst through the weakened
frame, and the creature collapsed. Still, it was alive, the
hollow eyes seemingly staring at Mizuki. She was startled...
and kept teleporting further away...
