I had now at this point started to look for her.
I first went to the first floor and found nothing and then as I was climbing the staircase I felt a burn in my eye.
"Demons", I said.
Not one not two but about 10. I could now hear their screams.
"Fucking bastards.", I cursed.
As I immediately went up and saw two demons. They were near about 3ft tall and they had 50cm blades with them.
"Screech", They screeched and I immediately manifest my bluish dark flame and shoot towards one.
This time it was more stable and it didn't scatter like before. I then immediately saw the second one approaching me and I kicked it and grabbed its skull and burned it to crisps.
[0.001 Dark essence is collected.]
[0.001 Dark essence is collected.]
"Not even one, huh!", I said out of breadth.
Then I saw a blade and picked it up.
"This time I was more cautious as last time I straight up got ambushed by a blade dude.", I reminded myself how lucky I was to escape it.
As I was walking down the hallway, I felt this familiar sense of dread as I went down the path the soundlessness made it hard for me to understand what was going on?
"What the hell is going on?", I said to myself.
As I walked down the path my hair on the skin started to stand.
"He he he he "
A eerie laugh.
I could hear a laugh which was very eerie.
Now I saw a dark figure stood in front of me with a white mask about 10 ft tall. A brownish hat and a cane.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"How are you, sir?", he asked.
"Not the greatest since you showed up.", I replied.
"UHH, That hurts to be hated by a rookie demon hunter.", he replied.
As he said that I immediately took a fighting stance and started to manifest my fire slowly as to not alert him.
"Well don't be so tense hunter. Mistakes happen. The mistake of you treading on this path", He screamed at me.
He then immediately threw a thunderbolt with chains at me.
[Chain Bolt]
I immediately tried to dodge it but there were other two which followed after me.
I immediately used my blade to counter one and used my fame to counter another.
As I saw around myself, he was nowhere to be found.
Then in the darkness, I felt the wind rushing towards me and I immediately used my blade to direct it out of my way and counter attack him.
"Thht", a mettalic sound was produced.
I immediately jumped and put some distance between us.
"Well for a demon you are well prepared. Huh?", I asked. Cautiously.
"Well what can we do? It is survival of the fittest after all.", as he said that he immediately launched ten or more of the [Chain bolts.]
I immediately rolled and dodged and destroyed a few with my flame.
"Hey Noel, is there a way to analyze the spell.", I asked in my mind still dodging all of the [Chain bolts].
"There is a way. Use all your essence you have collected and use your right eye.", he replied.
As I parrying the strikes from his sword and the spell. I immediately pour all my essence in right eye.
[-0.01 Dark essence]
[-0.01 Dark essence]
[Cruel Eyesight is scanning.]
I felt my eyes burn and slowly closed it and then opened it.
Now half of my vision was normal but the other half showed me a schematic area of the room we were fighting in.
Now I could see him even when he was disappearing and I used it to my advantage.
I slashed my sword downward and rushed towards him.
Right now he looked like the ragdolls in those games I couldn't afford ever.
"Huh now I can think better as well huh."
I then immediately started to use my sword and the [Darkness flame.]
My blade now emitted a bluish dark flame.
When he now lauched several of those [Chain bolts] my eyes could see the schematics of the spell.
Where the essence was the weakest. After seeing that I immediately guided my blade through those areas and they diminished.
After that I immediately rushed towards him and blocked everyone of his attacks.
"How did you? You what …." He said. But before he could finish I found the area of the armor which had a ridge and then stabbed it in and then used my flame to burn him down.
"Nooooo", He screamed.
As he was burning, I asked, "Why are you trying to hurt the girl??"
"I will not tell youuuu",he said.
But before he could answer he was burned to crisps not leaving anythinh behind.
"Fuck I still don't know what happened.", I said frustratingly. At the same time I saw a red window appear.
[0.1 essence earned.]
"Hoh, at least I got some essence to compensate for it.", I said.
After this fight, I saw the surrounding fog clear up.
"Hey why did't I gain that spell?", I asked Noel.
"You need to atleast have 1 essence to copy a spell.", Noel repied.
As he spoke my blade broke.
"Tatttt", shattered.
Then I saw the cane,"Well don't mind me if I do."
As I proceeded to grab it.
Then as I walked forward I saw Vanessa laying on the floor. But this time I didn't feel anything.
"It doesn't matter.", I said as I proceeded to pick her up in my arms and ran.
…..
"What's taking him so long??", Vincent asked.
"Don't' know just hope he doesn't get hunted by the masked demon. HO HO", Roland said laughingly as they continue to walk in the field.
As they were walking they saw a girl unconscious lying in the field.
"Oh my god is that Vanessa?", Panic in Vincent voice.
"It is let's take her to the infirmary." Roland suggested.
As they both pick her up and took her to the infirmary.
"Well, I know they will not do anything inappropriate with her", I said as I took my bag, the cane and the core with me and went home.
….
Vanessa POV
"Ehm what am I doing here?", I asked as I saw a white ceiling and a white bed.
"Well, you were found unconscious by two house members who carried you here.", Natasha the school nurse replied.
"But I was on my way to", as I said it I remembered something.
"If you want to know about your friend Nora please come to the forth floor girl ha ha ha.", a clown voice talked to her.
Then I needed to know why what happened in the chemistry lab.
"These two monkeys found you.", She replied.
"No you lose.", Vincent said.
"No you goddamn it.", Roland said as they both were fighting about won in the Despair Hospital 3 game.
"Oh she woke up.", Vincent said as Roland heard him both oh then sat up straight stop fighting and tried to impress her.
"Yeah, we found you near the field.", Roland stuttered.
"Yeah no sweats", Vincent stuttered as well.
But I was in the 4th floor.
After hearing that I proceeded to bow my head,"I am sorry for the trouble I have caused.", I said to them.
"Yeah, no worries." they panicly replied.
As I was worried that someone else will find
out what I was doing, I asked for help
"Can you guy's help me?", as I pleaded for help.
They both looked confused and I told them about the situattions.
