Pace and Hindrance.

The antler resonance to the ambient temperature altered by a burst of yellow lightning discharging within the darkened clouds still forming as it overshadows everything underneath it.

"You idiot! What have you done?!" The armoured lady quirks her mouth in annoyance within the strong wing pressurizing across them while trying to figure out how and when he'd cut off the Kirin's antler.

Dante stared at what was in his hand,

"Me? I've done nothing wrong but did as you said earlier." He looked straight at the rider's heterochromia eyes, he'd saw a face that was conceived in displeasure and hatred towards him.

"YOU!—" The rider exploded as Dante interrupted her from speaking further.

"Hey, how long would you stay under the name of that mystical creature?" He asked.

The rider's body froze in place, wondering what was he talking about.

"Haven't you realized until now, something different, something mismatched, something that is out of order." He placed the resonating Kirin's antler on his shoulder as he undauntedly walked in the air towards them, "I mean I noticed every one of you had something in common." Her eyes widened, "Seems you have thought of it—I've thought of it too. Everyone with a marking of their own, where is yours, I don't see it anywhere or are you still just a tote that only have the ability to control mystical creatures?"

"Oi! What are you spouting?!" The armored lady yelled, then she looked at the rider from behind, "Let's kill him now before anything else, I can't stand him."

But her words avails to nothing towards the rider.

What's is happening? What's he talking about? The armored lady contemplated as she grit her teeth. She had no reason to stay still and listened to Dante's confused words then she rose up from the Kirin's back and leapt towards Dante.

The rider eyes widened.

"Stop! That's what he wants!"

"Come to papa." Dante smirked gripping tightly onto the cleft of the Kirin's antler with a swung just as he'd, a burst of yellow lightning discharged from the darkened cloud was consumed by it, right at that moment the rider's and the armored woman eyes dilated as she raised her gothic war hammer for a strike, also to Dante, he wasn't expecting the Kirin's antlers to have such effect.

I-I can't dodge— The armoured lady was no where near in avoiding the collision from the violent bolts that shines through the sky and directly right to her face.

It hit her in a sudden blast that spread as it echoed throughout the area, dissipating the clouds above and sending her flying uncontrollably towards the opposite direction as her scalemail forcefully dismantled from her body with a cry just as she was about smashing the ground. She was stunningly saved, landing on her back on a gnarled vines that has a large but mushy single-flatly panned leaf on top.

She strained grunted with her eyes closed as she felt she landed on a soft soil with that her senses gradually but in a specifically manner came back to her.

She heard a indistinct gentle gurgling of a small creek then the constant sound of breeze, gently swaying of what it sound like the branches of trees around her. The olfactory of earth filling her nose as she took a breath in and a breath out then she slowly opened her eyes as blood slipped down at the side of her mouth while staring through the varying shades of lush canopy of trees under the many small luminous dots appearing in the cloudless night sky.

Did I die? And was revived as a forest spirit?

"Seems I was lucky enough to save you."

Her eyes expanded then slowly rolled her eyes to the familiar voice. She saw a figure with large glittering eyes sitting down on a rock near her, then the figure sighed.

"Sorry for not joining you guys in the fight, he was too fast for me and I can't fly like most of you guys." He scratched his right eyes, "sit here only to observe the mysterious lights and explosions from the sky then something caught on. You know we are solely created by the bounty collector to one day studied and fight beings that are exceptionally strong. However when I did my research on a certain Divine Humane."

Oh, he did some research? The injured woman thought not actually strong enough to talk for she was very much in pain then she looked up to the sky still laying facing up on the mushy large leaf.

Did that fast one knew her from somewhere?

"That Divine Humane was Dante Krystallo… I gathered this information not long ago," he continued. "At a young age he was terribly sick without having no potency just like you an Inhumane not having the ability to glow for some unknown reason."

Why is he telling me this? The armored woman puzzled,

"Then something wonder happened to him, he was given a esoteric flower that it said to heal any given sickness or wound. Within days he gained the potency of speed and was healed completely."

The armoured woman slightly rolled her eyes sideways thinking, where did her gothic war hammer crashed to?

"The flower is not your ordinary flower you know, it is a flower only few cognize and was firstly written by Godmother Mimosa that rained down from outside this world in seeds along with a supreme being during the fight between Him and the Destroyer. It said with the right preparations of the flower it gives the subject unbelievable and unimaginable powers," as he spoke a traces of light and explosions was seen from above.

"Well. I think that is a reason for his strange speed."

"He… he cut down one of the Kirin's antlers… " The injured lady spoke in a way one could feel the discomfort in her words.

"Huh? He did? I guess the rumor having taken the flower is true… How was the flower prepared?" He placed his hand on his chin then looked at his left, spotted an object cratered on the damp darkened ground, few meters away. "oh, I see your weapon laying perfectly fine over there."

"Good… bring it… to me… l will definitely destroy him… I don't care about his past story… " She grunted about lifting her body up, "And never compare me with him, I don't need some sort of esote-or whatever flower you called it, I'm fine with the way I am."

"By the way, you have no clothes on... I didn't peek."

"Gosh… find me something to wear." She took a peek down only a choker was seen on her neck as she stretched her hand towards him and the other covering whatever part that shamed her the most.

"Here take my cloak." He said giving her his cloak without looking her way.

"Thanks… " She slowly wore it while strained grunting.

"What are you guys doing here?" Someone said coming from the rustling sound of the bush behind them. Noticed the figure holding someone in it's hand probably done for and the other holding a blood-stained large hammer on the shoulder before dumping the person back to the bush from where it came from.

Staring closely.

It was the Bounty Collector!

"Is the Divine Humanes too strong for you?" He asked in accordance to the way they were rooted in their positions.

"No, Master. We are—" The injured lady spoke out of fear while she closely held the cloak around her body.

"Then go bring me their heads." He commanded, "but leave Airbrock's head to me, I'm going after him." He leapt very far from them leading to where his prey may be...

"Are you still in pain?"

"Bring me my gothic war hammer."

He sighed. He looked at her weapon on the ground then manipulated few vines from the ground wounding the weapon and gently took it to her.

Then she rose up holding her gothic war hammer while blazing murderously.

"I will kill them all, starting with any Humane I see."

"Now that all is well." He stood up from the stone then walked with the woman as she held her cloak closer to herself, slightly grunting. "Let's stick to what we came to this city for."

Huff, huff, huff. The absorber gasped with sagging shoulders as his palms flickered in lightning towards his arms exhausted from absorbing absolutely every thunderbolts thrown at them while standing right behind the young sweating girl still holding onto her Sai slightly shivering and the dark mist groaning—To them it was a one-sided fight against the fulminating Divine Humane as a lot of craters and a well visible lightning marks depraved at the region was seen surrounded by debris of mutilated buildings.

"Seems you're at your limit. Then allow me with or without this opportunity to wipe you and your friends away from the face of this world." Abbey raised his two arms sideways as rain of lightning bolts discharged from the clouds down to the ground without hitting any of them looked as though he was still taunting them. "Only if you bend the knee and declare me as your one and only MASTER! Then you shall find MERCY!"

None of the three responded while peering at him, then Abbey inspected them one after the other on staring at the absorber smoky eyes.

"Your eyes look like someone I once called a friend but in the end he was just a clod I hated."

He was definitely talking about Jared wherever he was. Then a whitish-blue lightning passed the young girl and the dark mist at the highest possible speed they had ever encountered, then they both turned horror-struck following the strains as their eyes fixated at Abbey holding the absorber by his neck with that, he was lifted up effortlessly.

"You're messing with the wrong opponent." He longingly side-looked the young girl and the dark mist as his ponytail sways through the wind. "Now that your so called absorber of my lightning is at my mercy! What are you lowly beings going to do about it?!"

"And to whom are you referring?" A voice spoke from the shadows. Abbey turned to the voice, who dares talk to him like that!

The young lady eyes widened as she heard the voice then her eyes watered, the dark mist took a glimpsed at her before also staring to the figure coming with the sound of metal plates clanking against the ground with background roaring of thunder within the darkened skies above.

"… Aje!" The young girl revealed.

"Hmm." Abbey focused on Aje. He felt his existence different from any other being he had encountered…

He felt...

absolutely...

nothing…

but a living suit of armor holding a large blackish shield with a large darkened sword without a single electric charge deduced from any of it.

"Oh, I see. This is one of the abominable armour the trivial Inhumanes made, told it could divide mountains in half with a single strike of its sword." He pointed out, "I don't even see any holes on it, how are you even breathing in that confused disordered jumble of a thing you called an armour."

"You know nothing, ponytail." Aje coldly spoke through the blackened armour.

Abbey groaned with a thought.

Another Jared to beat.
