Hunter x Hunted

Levon takes his steps towards his destination, as he reflects upon this encounter '…This was weird, who knows what else there could be that the watch does not mention!'

The map took him not far away from where he was, and he just assumed that the way to enter "Kardia" was the same as last time. And he was right!

He looked calm and collected as he pushed the limestone, in no time he found himself in the white void. The moment he opened his eyes, he knew he was surrounded by the 3Psemas already!!

Unlike last time, the ugliness and the evil aura coming from this creature did not put fear in his heart. Nonchalantly, he puts his hand on his head and closes one of his two eyes as if he had a headache.

'…Eh, the teleportation still gets me dizzy a little bit.

Now let's see what we have here. Two in my visual range and one out of it…' Levon quickly looks back, then to the distance separating the 3 of them and instantly realized something. 'Interesting, the angles in which each one is standing, makes me to be exactly at the center of this triangle, 60° each!!

They're not attacking… Waiting for me to draw my weapon perhaps!? So be it then.'

Levon grabs his gun and takes it out of his waist pocket. Then makes the first move in this battle, which wasn't an attack! He quickly jumps far away from where he was. 'It is better to avoid being surrounded in that manner…' but before he could realize it, the 3psemas followed him with a speed far exceeding his!

Levon was quite surprised, but still unfazed. "Hmmm… so that is their plan" He thoroughly looks at the situation again…Suddenly!! "wait…No!!"

The psemas attack!!

Levon did not realize that the positions they took now was different than the one before, he isn't the center of the triangle anymore, he's standing right in between two psemas from in front and the back!! The angles remained the same, it's his position that is now changed!

This fraccion of a second costed him precious reaction time, as the two Psemas attacked full speed from both opposite directions.

'NO TIME TO DODGE!!' He realized, therefore he activated what he just obtained last time, the bronze shield!

He stood sideways and it manifested itself from both his right and left shoulders. The two Psemas were coming full speed and crashed against it, but it didn't break! It served at hold their force down and slow their movement a bit. And lord behold another super-fast attack from what's now his front by the third Psema!!

Again, there was no time to neither dodge nor use his weapon. So, he shielded himself again as the Psema pushed him back with its force.

'…Shit! They're being smart. Which wasn't the case for the one I fought before. The other two are already moving to their positions again to keep me surrounded!'.

To make it difficult on them to settle in their positions, levon jumps towards the opposite direction, over the Psema who was about to break the shield completely. Then kept on running away from the 3!

'…To my advantage, their movement is only lateral. If I keep changing my position in a certain way it will be impossible for them to surro…' before he could complete his thought, he realized it was a wrong conclusion!

Though it is true that their movement is only lateral, their immense speed compensates for that to a great extent. He cannot outrun them at all! He's trapped once again.

'…this time it's still the same position, but from a different angle. Two from the sides and one in front. Are they planning to keep on attacking to weaken my defense? If that's the case, I must weaken their offense as well.

I must be the hunter, not the hunted!'

Levon waits for which will attack first, it was again from the side. However! Only one of them attacked, the other stood his place in his defensive mode!!

The Psema crashes into Levon's shield and forces him to move towards the one waiting on the other corner. Levon tries with all his power to withstand the push, but to no avail. '…I know I can't shoot that one as long as he's in his passive mode, though this wasn't my plan but I have to adjust, I'll shoot this one attacking me right now!!'

Through the digital bronze shield, levon points his gun at the Psema's head and shoots. But the psema switched back at the last second to his defensive mode. Levon's attack went right through his skull like it was nothing. But the latter knew that there is no time to rest with 3 of these around, another Psema would have already made his move to attack him.

Levon abruptly turns and shoots it before it reached him. It is a successful hit! The psema did not have enough time to switch back.

"Got you!" says Levon, but his moment of victory did not last a second. The two other Psemas were already inches away from his body, coming down full speed!! The shields were barely reforming and therefore their defensive ability didn't reach its peak.

The attack dragged Levon in the ground as he fought for dear life. The two Psemas would be right in front of his face if it wasn't for the shields. This time it did scare him from up that close!

"Uuugggh!!! The shields are about to break... I must..get myself away by any means!!" Levon comes up with a heads up move, a move that he had no assurance it would work but his mind told him so.

He quickly faces the ground…and shoots it!!!

The explosion resulting from this blew not only him, but the two psemas away in different directions. Now he was floating high in the air as if he could fly!

'Agh… It worked! Though I received damage myself…' he says, holding his stomach. Now that he was up high, he knew the Psemas would still attack, and indeed they do.

Luckily, the distance is now big enough for him to anticipate them and shoot back.

'…The moment I land on the ground, I have to run, I have to keep on changing my position or else I am in big trouble. These Psemas proved that they're not some senseless creatures… but they're not in any way smarter than me!!'
