My Sword has to Talk!

CH. 36- Who Is That Man

Marcus, Lorenzo, and Blitz froze upon gazing at the masked man. The man's presence alone was enough to send chills down the three hunters—even the innocent bystanders could feel the same.

“Where is Cadmus, young man?" The masked man asks Marcus.

“I- I don't know."

Blitz looks into Marcus and asks him, “Hey Marcus, do you know this dangerous guy?”

“No, but I have met him before only once.” Replied Marcus.

“So you don't know, where is Cadmus.” The masked man walks away after saying those words. He immediately disappears into thin air after a car blocks their view of him. Marcus was in disbelief that the man left without any persisting.

“Who was that rude, creepy guy!” One of the girls asks the three boys.

“We don't know,” Marcus replied to the girls. But after that, Blitz added, “If you girls want to stay safe. Could you stay away from the three of us? Now go to the party you girls were going to since we also have somewhere to go.”

Blitz pulled Marcus and Lorenzo as he walks away from the girls when they reach a certain distance. Blitz, let's go of the two and asks Marcus, “Who was that guy?”

“I told you, Blitz, I don't know.”

Blitz let out a sigh and said to Marcus, “I don't know how you met that man. But I sense an immense power leaking from him. You also feel it, too, correct.”

“Yeah, Marcus! Blitz is right. How the hell did you meet that cosplayer.”

“Seriously, that's the only thing you can say about that man, Lorenzo,” Marcus exclaimed.

“Quiet Lorenzo, now Marcus. Tell us the story about that man.”

“Well, I think it's been almost more than a week now. Clint brought me for a special mission in the middle of nowhere. There we exterminated the nest of chupacabras; however after we eliminated the leader of the beast. That masked man appeared and called Clint Cadmus.”

Lorenzo crosses his arms after the story, but he spoke, “Cadmus, what is that, Clint's nickname. Is he also a cosplayer like that man?”

“Hey, seriously, Lorenzo, you still think that idiotic thing.”

“Hey, you never know, Blitz. That Lorenzo might be an underground cosplayer who didn't show up at an event.”

Blitz massages his head after listening to Lorenzo. He looked toward Lorenzo and spoke, “If it's only about cosplayer. Then why could you feel that man's killing intent leak? Not only that, but he also didn't hide his power. You could feel tremendous energy he leaks.”

The three arrived back at Marcus's house. But upon reaching the door. They notice someone left the door unlocked for some reason. The three prepared for combat.

Marcus slowly opens the door and peeked at the gap. He slowly entered, trying to make less sound as possible; however, he reached the stairs.

“Looks like the three of you are back.”

Marcus looks up at the second floor and met eyes with the girl who defeated them. “You!" Marcus yelled.

Lorenzo and Blitz rush forward to back Marcus up. However, the two also had the same expression and reaction. “You!”

“Hey! It isn't nice to point your fingers at your senior.” The girl spoke as she jumps down to the first floor.

“You three should know how to respect your senior hunters. Also, Blitz, I slept in your room."

“What!?" Blitz exclaimed.

“You could not blame me since Lorenzo's room was very disorganized. Meanwhile, Marcus's room was full of dolls that stare into my soul as I look at them. Even with that age, you still play with dolls, Marcus. Or you are just gay?”

“Those are not dolls. There anime figurines. Please know your facts correct!”

“Yeah! Yeah! I'll call them what animus figurine. So that's why I decided to stay in your room, Blitz, since you have the most normal and most organize space.”

“Whatever! Just leave my room. I need to take a shower.” Blitz spoke as he walks towards his room.

But upon entering his room, Blitz saw a very disorganized room. A vein appeared on his forehead; he wanted to tell at the girl. But remember the traumatizing events when Blitz fought the girl. So Blitz only lets out a sigh as he accepts that he would need to reorganize his room.

The girl had a smirk as she gazes at Blitz. However, the two boys left with him still had a grudge to settle. Out of nowhere, a blade rush towards her face.

Only to be caught by her chains. “Quite bold of you launching a surprise attack. Towards an unarmed opponent.”

“Look, you may look pretty, but I cannot accept being tricked and defeated. I want a second round where I can trade blows. Not just captured and asleep. Also, not to brag, but I am the only one who passed the training—these two guys with me. They both failed.”

The girl raises her left brow after listening to Lorenzo. “Oh, so the two boys who lasted my attack were the ones who failed. And the weakling who fell for a cheap trick passed.”

Marcus seeing the two becoming a little bit serious, backs away. And heads towards the kitchen of the house.

“Who are you calling a weakling!" Lorenzo retorted as his kris dagger burst into flames and breath fire straight into her face.

“A surprise attack!” The girl spoke as she evades the flames. She was quick enough to avoid any severe damage.

However, she was unable to escape unscathed. The tip of her golden hair got burned. The smell of something toasted smelled in the area.

The girl gave a murderous look to Lorenzo, who has a confident smirk. Upon gazing at the girl's eyes. Lorenzo immediately knew it was not going to be a happy ending for him.

The girl's killing intent leaks out that even Marcus, who was far away, had chills run down his spine. His hands shook, and the air around him turned cold. Then he heard it, the screams of horror and pain.

Marcus wanted to check what had happened to Lorenzo. But because of the eerie atmosphere of the direction. Marcus only gulps and ignored his friend, who is possibly crying for help in horror.

“It is better not to get involved. I don't want to be the next victim. I want to live longer. So forgive me, Lorenzo. It's also your fault for starting a fight with her. I do not know what you have done to unleash a beast. But I can only offer you prayers.” These were the words Marcus spoke as the screams of Lorenzo reverberated in the entire house.

Marcus only ignored the cries of pain. Blitz, on the other hand, has not heard the commotion going on downstairs. He only minded his own business cleaning his own body. With the relaxing sound of the showers, droplets landing on the floor.

Meanwhile, in a car parking lot, Clint was walking towards his car and minding his own business. But as he walks toward his car, he notices a presence following him. Clint stops in his tracks and turns behind him.

A person with baggy clothes was staring straight at him. Clint stretched his arms high up in the air and spoke to the person.

“I don't know who you are. But I know you are not a human. So stop pretending with that body of yours. And show your true face.”

The person suddenly screeches an ear-piercing scream that broke the parked cars' windows and the light—turning the parking lot into a dark abyss.

Three hours passed. Marcus was preparing food for his guests. At the same time, Blitz treated the injuries that Lorenzo received. But as they were going on their usual business. Someone knocks on the door.

Marcus goes to check who was the person knocking late at night. But when he peeks at the window hole. He saw a heavily injured Clint.

Marcus immediately opens the door and lets Clint in, and he screams for help. Blitz rushed to his aid and laid his eyes at the heavily injured Clint.

“Good God, what happened.”

“A monster with strange capabilities ambushed me on a parking lot. I manage to escape him, so can you please treat my wounds. I can't believe I have been too careless.”

Marcus and Blitz carried Clint to a room, where they treat his wound.
