Haunting Screams 10

In his right hand was a cross and in his left a bible. This made him look like a priest or just or maybe just some sort of weird cosplay.

"So I was right after all. This dungeon is different and this cross is the proof.

This mission item. Does that mean that this cross is needed to complete my mission?"

*Clank*

'This sound..

The sound of clanging metal and wood attracted the attention of Jack . He knew that he was about to face something again so he turned his back towards the wall and started spinning the kusari-fundo.

"It seems that I have company and more than one it seems."

The sound of metal hitting metal came from the right and the sound of metal against wood came from outside the broken windows.

'The enemies seem to be two or maybe even more than that, but it doesn't matter. The room may not be small, but it clearly doesn't have that much space for multiple opponent to gang up on.

Well this also reduces the usability of my kusari-fundo.'

*Click clack....

The sound of metal hitting metal suddenly stopped and at the same time the other sound stopped also. This ment that the quiet atmosphere of the mansion was restored , but the pressure that was on Jack kept getting bigger and bigger.

' Why did they stop? Are they planning something?

What is it?'

Jack's nerves were on edge in this situation and he didn't like it. The waiting seemed more taxing to him than the fight.

*Whoop whoop...

The sound of the kusari-fundo was the only thing that brought some normalcy to the place, but it couldn't continue like this forever. Jack had to make a move.

' I can't stay here forever waiting for them to make the first move so , I'll do it for them. '

Jack was ready to go into the offense, but he didn't want to go outside in again so his only option was to go to the right.

"I got this!"

'Physicial Enhancement'

As soon as Jack activated his 'Physicial Enhancement' skill he imediately rushed to the right and into the unknown. He had made up his mind to strike while the iron was hot.

"Roaaaar...

*Bang*

Jack managed to reach the entrance of the corridor when a roar and then a banging sound was heard.

'Shit...

The enemy had foiled his plan to have the first attack and now he was in deep shit.

'I can't stop right now. I need to get to the enemy in front as soon as possible and defeat him as soon as possible before taking care of the one behind.

I can't waste even one second because if I'm attacked from the front and the back at the same time it'll be hard to defend let alone attack. '

In this tense situation Jack had made the right decision. Before with his back behind the wall he was able to handle two attackers, but if he was attacked from his blind spot then nothing could save him.

"Aaaaaa....

Jack gave a shout as finally after crossing four more meters the figure of his opponent came to view and a stray thought crossed Jack's mind.

'What....

Even in that moment Jack still was surprised by the weirdness of this place. The opponent in front of him this time was not a strong looking butcher , but a skinny looking human wearing a butlers uniform and holding in front of him a silver plate with a silver some on top of it, but that was not the most important part.

The butler that was in front of Jack didn't seem to have a head.

' A headless butler? '

*Roaaaar....

The angry roar was heard again from the back and Jack could even feel the cold breath of his opponent on his neck so as he was finally in range he attacked, or rather he tried to.

'Shoot'

The weighted end of the kusari-fundo flew towards the chest of the butler like a unstoppable missile.

"Di...

'What happened!?'

Everything was as it's supposed to be, but reality was often disappointing.

Jack was about to get rid of one his enemies so he could have some room to breathe, but it seemed that that though was just a dream. In the last moment before the weighted end was about to make contact the silver dome covering the place flew and the figure of a decapitated head was seen. The head that was in the plate seemed to have lost all it's moisture as it was like the head of a mumy, but it's eyes were a different story. They were pitch black with a red pupil and from them shined a demonic crimson light.

'I can't move!

Why can't I move!?'

"Roaaaar...

Jack's body had gone completely still as he couldn't move a muscle and as much as he struggled he couldn't get free from whatever what's binding him, but that wasn't all. His chain that was headed towards the chest of the butler had aslo stoped in mid air .

' Is it the heads doing? As soon as the head was revealed...

*Bang*

As much as Jack wanted to know what was happening it didn't matter anymore. An axe came swinging towards his head with blinding speed and with pinpoint accuracy it hit Jack's helmet in the middle.
