'If only I had some sort of way to make it seem like I am still standing right here. Then I could more easily lure the prey. To think I just wanted to complete some quests before this,' I sigh and turn my back towards the piles of grass.
After waiting for some time a javelin is thrown at me. 'Damn it. Enough of these games,' I move the blood to destroy the grass. 'I hate dealing with assassins. Always so time consuming. No matter what game it is.'
With all the grass destroyed the assassin is forced out of the shadows. I raise the blood net and converge it around the person, "Who hired you?"
"I won't tell you. Taking you out appeared as a mission," the assassin responds.
"Oh well, I don't really care, I already have an idea of who could have done so," I respond, Clenching my hands around the hilts of my swords I put one to his neck, "Well then where is this hideout for you assassins?"
"Do you honestly think I will tell you?" the assassin scuffs at me.
I slightly cut his neck, "To keep your life, you will," I send a metal spike through his leg. He screams as the metal spike pierces through his femoral artery, "I may even torture you until you die."
He continues screaming. I retract the metal spike. 'Wait I could search the player chats to see if anyone has found it. Some fool must have posted something about it.' I then go to the forums and see one titled, How to get to the assassins guild of Ichoramas. I haven't bothered to learn the name of the city I have been at. So I check my map.
I smile, "Well looks like I don't need you to tell me anyway. I drag the screaming assassin through the air. I turn on the stream. After several people have joined I say, "Now then someone was willing to hire the assassins on me already. Time to show the assassins guild not to mess with me."
I make it to the gate and show my ID. A guard asks, "Why is that person screaming?"
"An assassin tried to kill me. I am going to return them to the assassins guild," I reply and walk through.
"We can handle it," the guard says.
"No. They are willing to have a mission to kill me available. Then I shall return the favor. I'll make them realize why they don't want to do that," I keep on walking.
"You can't go fighting wherever you please," the guard replies.
"They'll try poisons, curses, and other things eventually. I'm just going to speed up that process. It's not like poisons or curses are effective against me anyway. Plus I'm not going for a fight, but to slaughter," I grin viciously and walk towards the assassins guild.
I ignore any further words from the guards as I head to the assassins guild. I reach it and instead of looking for the right bricks to click, I kick down the wall. As I enter several heads turn towards me.
Without a word I grab the assassin from before and rip his arm off. The first one to appear before me I shove the arm into the stomach of. The next one I turn around and stab through the heart. One kicks the swords out of my hands. I grab their leg and yank them.
As that one gets close to me I put my palm up and a metal spike skewers through his head. I turn around and thrust my hands into the assassin's ribs and pull two out. I shove them right through his ears. I extend my wings and feathers go flying cutting several assassins.
I bring out the rotating bone shield. It blocks several different projectiles that were thrown at me. Several of the feathers get destroyed. I gather all the blood that has spilt and form it into a storm. One assassin appears in front of me. I uppercut so hard the assassins head gets sent flying off.
I rip the spine out and add some blood to it, I then throw it at another assassin.It pierces through his stomach, using the blood on the spine I have it return back through his chest. I leave the assassin there screaming as I pick up my swords and cut the arms off of another assassin.
One releases a poison mist. I maniacally laugh, "Too bad for you, I am not that easy to force to stop."
I control the blood storm and form the blood into spears that start to rain down upon the assassins. Some assassins manage to dodge those spears just to get hit by the feathers. "We've got to slow her down somehow. The poison is ineffective," one of them yells.
Some of the assassins did manage to not get hit. I close up on one of them, cutting them in half at the waist. Then I shove a sword up them and their guts fall down onto me as I slash their upper half in half.
I swing at another assassin and my swords break. I grab that assassins arm and skewer it with a metal spike.The assassin recoils in pain and I yank off the arm. I snap the arm like a twig. Appearing behind them, I shove their own arm through the top of his neck.
I jump up and land on the bone of the arm pushing it further down.I flip over the assassin and see his hand all mangled up with a lung. I turn around and my wings cut through another assassin.
To my side I punch and send an assassin flying. I reach into one's abdomen. I pull out the small intestines. Using them I strangle another assassin before skewering the previous with some of the flying feathers.
I spin around dodging several attacks. I get damaged and hear, "She can take damage. Keep going."
"Damn it she has powerful regeneration," I shake my head and appear behind this one kicking their head clean off. That head goes flying and is hit by a lightning bolt.
Several attacks land on me forming holes through my body. I pull the blood from all around towards me. As it touches me I heal up even faster.
"How do we kill such a thing," one says.
I laugh and appear next to another assassin. And skewer their stomach with a metal spike. I retract it and reach up and pull out the heart.
I toss the heart and it blocks an ice sword. I leap to the other side of the room. Upon landing on an assassin I send metal spikes through them. I walk up the person.
I flip over some attacks and drop kick with a metal spike cutting another assassin in half. I do a reverse elbow and another one goes flying into some of my feathers.
I land and an explosion happens. I feel the burn from the fire. I pull blood towards me to heal up. As the flame dissipates I control the rest of the blood to surround me forming armor. Several attacks hit me and the blood armor grinds the attacks down.
I jump up and spin, sending more feathers about. I then have an epiphany and I my control of the blood deepens and it forms I to a stronger armor. So this is what using an intent feels like.
Smiling with blood raining down around me, I reach out towards another assassin and the blood grabs them. I pukka the assassin towards me. I shake my head, 'Damn I can't draw the blood out of them just yet. Should be possible eventually.'
Before I can skewer his lungs out, something stops me from being able to do so. I then notice extra wind. I look up and notice the dust and blood flowing away from that person.
