The Night of A Raven

Night has came and they was moving on with the plan John came up with and before nightfall.

John told them all to split into different teams and look around for any clues and look for anything that will look out of order.

John told Liam and his other Captain to go with Tech and help with finding the president. Miran, Ink, and Ralph to go to the docks and see about the ships and John was going to look for Elkor.

John have a feeling that he must face Elkor alone for the time being and just being able to face off an opponent that he needed to make sure that he can test his skills.

At the docks.

"Why are we here far from the main city? I wanted to kick some butt. I wanted to save my friend."

Miran said.

"Calm down. You can't keep making something that you know that you will break easily."

"I won't break that easily. I can handle myself pretty good if you ask me."

"No you can't. You always use brute force than your head. John can handle it by himself. We have to be ready for."

Ink stop mid sentence and he felt like they was being watch and than a figure was watching them from a far and Ink use his grimoire.

"The inner flow of loop. Time bending my enemy."

He stop the attacker that has follow them and he has make the area around them a loop and trap him in a trap.

But the attacker use the loop for his advantage and he counter it to attack Ink with knives he through at him.

"What? He threw something."

Ink was cut in his shoulder and he was felt that it was poison in the blades.

"Dang, it bad to have poison in me, but I need to get it out. Be careful guys he have poison knives."

Ink was thinking to himself and warning Ralph and also Miran about the danger.

Ralph has shot at the direction of the attacker and he soon went behind a crank.

It was dark and they was looking around and trying to catch his noise.

Miran put her back onto Ralph and they was both in front of Ink and Ink watching around the area.

Out of the left side of Ralph was a throw of a knife and it was like a gust of wind that was coming to them in a form of a sharp pain.

Ralph dodge it and he stay behind and Miran went in and ran toward the him.

The attacker step toward her trying to block Ralph shot from reaching him and he stay behind and waiting for an opportunity for her to move out of the way.

"Dammit, I can't shoot anything like this."

Ralph was trying to make sure that he can create something that would harm the attacker and not Miran.

Miran was trying to make sure that she was going to lead the attacker toward Ralph range and Miran had kick his leg.

He jump and Ralph has another chance to shoot at him and he took the chance to attack.

"I got'em him."

He shot and the attacker was hit and so they assume that they hit him but he was moving it backward and he has the blood come out and he use it as a weapon.

"What? Blood arts?"

Ralph said.

The attacker said, "You. Who are you that walk on my lord lands?"

"What? This isn't that bastard land. He is a kidnapper and a cruel person." Miran said.

"You are weak and foolish to even realize the glory of his lord view and the true path toward the heavens."

"What are you saying?" Miran said and he was going toward Ralph and Ralph has aim down his sight and try to attack him, but there was no other way to stop him from attacking.

"Dammit."

The attacker try to slash Ralph with his blood scythe.

Ralph step down and he was on his knees and he try to block it with his gun and it went through but he was able to dodge it and get out of the way and than Miran was going to use her art, but Ralph said.

"No, you need to stop. This guy doesn't need to see you use your mystic arts."

Ralph said.

"But you can't fight him."

"Stop it. You know nothing of my power Miran. You stay back and let me handle this."

Ralph had look at the attacker and the attacker has look and see that he was standing waiting for him.

"You seem to have forgotten about your position."

He declare his name was Haimon. Haimon shoot three blood clout arrows toward them both and one at Ink and Miran and Ralph both took Ink and ran behind a crank.

They kept Ink behind the crank and Ralph shot back and him and Miran has move onto the other crank to get an punch onto him at least and if she can to slow him down.

Blood art isn't normally something to learn easily and it take skills and also learning of forbidden knowledge to learn about Blood art and using blood art will lead to blood lost if not careful, but in this case. He is using as he is recycle it back and forward.

When you a skill using of any arts. You must first tried to make sure that you are a master craftsman of it.

Miran can count the blood art with her holy arts but she couldn't get close to him without being attack herself and even if she did get through.

She would be probably get her blood taken away and can be bend to move on her own by Haimon.

Haimon stop her from her advances and Haimon have her to stop and she couldn't move no more and she was standing in one spot in the opened.

Ralph shot and than Haimon stop him from pulling the trigger and Haimon was controlling them both.

They both was being control by Haimon but both was confuse about what was happening.

"What going on?" Miran said.

"I think he controlling us." Ralph said.

"I thought I told you this before. You all is being quite rude to the lord here and if you can see the greatness of his vision than you must go away."

Haimon said.

While he was talking Ink came up with a spell and Haimon hold up Miran and Ink was holding the spell up.

"What do you think you doing? You really think you can attack me while I have your two friend here?"

"How much I hate to admit he right, but I still trying to make sure that he doesn't get a upper hand in the fight." Ink was thinking to himself.

In this intense outcome anything can happen, but the slower they get the more dangerous the situation will come and people will die, but Ink will make sure that doesn't happen.

Ralph has came up with a backup plan before hand and he would try to trick Haimon just in case he catch them off guard.

Haimon was a few inches away from them and Ink was about a few more inches away from Ink and Miran was more closer to Haimon.

Haimon would use Miran as bait to stop them from attack him, but anything that can't hurt Miran.

They have option but how Ink going to use them will require a skill response to his next attack.

But they still doesn't know if he made up of machine and there are blood tanks inside of him or is that his actual blood being use for his arts. It a limitless possibility to what Haimon can be using to get that blood and use it.

Ink see that he have a valid cases on the side of his hip and also Ink notice a flash bank on the back of Ralph and Ink stood still and he use it to join his side.

"Oh my apologies, I didn't realize that I was fighting for the wrong team. I thought they told me that this world was the Greta creator, but I see that I must find it through him the lord. Lord Elkor will be the one to find it."

Ink proclaim.

"You see the vision brother. You see the path that you choose."

"Yes, and I have to say that it is a stupid one." He use a flash bank and blind it Haimon.

Haimon was rubbing his eyes and Miran took the blood cases on the side of his hip but that doesn't mean that he is defenseless on using anything else.

Ralph have a grande to freeze him and he threw it and froze his foot onto the ground.

"What?" Haimon use his blood art and slash at Ink for being very close to him.

Ink move in when he was trying to push Miran behind him and Miran blinded him with holy light.

"Arrggh!"

Haimon was blind and Ink and Miran both attack together and Miran went for the legs and Ink went for the face.

Punching him with a spell that enchanted his fist. Miran flip him upward and he has hit the ground hard.
