"Did you sense it?"
Standing on the ground in garb that was almost entirely shredded Azreal looked up at how far he'd fallen, then at the crystal in front of him.
He couldn't help smirking a little, he was alive.
"Yea a little it's a bit hard to describe"
"Hmm that's pretty fortunate, this was your first time? It's remarkable that you were able to sense it on your first try, let's go get you a change of clothing"
Walking forward Azreal commenced taking in what was around him, the floor was wholly empty, aside from the crystal in the middle of the room and an elderly warbeast napping on a stool in front of a shack.
Nawai didn't explain anything or try to wake up the elderly warbeast he just strolled into the shack for a moment before coming out with some clothing.
When he was leaving the shack Nawai went into his pocket and took out some coins and placed them in the elderly warbeast lap.
"Here you go"
Taking the modest outfit from Nawai Azreal looked around for somewhere to change.
Looking at Azreal surveying for somewhere to change Nawai slightly arched one of his brows before turning his back to Azreal to give him privacy.
.....
"Fuck! You little snake did you think you could paint some regular old coins in gold and come here and eat and the try to rob me! Me!!"
As the hyena spoke he placed one of the coins in his mouth, crushing the coin as effortlessly as he chews his food.
Looking at the pieces of the coin that he spat out the hyena got even more upset.
They weren't even coins! They were just scraps of metal fastened together by clay to give it its smooth shape and feel!
"Ho, ho your dead!"
The hyena was so irritated that he started laughing the warbeasts behind him started to step forward.
"Hey, Hey, Hey, laughing jack do we really have to go this far? How bout breaking a claw or two? That should be fair enough right?"
As Xavious spoke he started backing up, he was already at a dead end he was just yearning for a miracle.
Once again laughing jack started chuckling the anger was even more apparent.
"A claw or two? Little fucker you came to my place and order the most luxurious things on the menu! Order after fucking order! Even offering to pay everyone else's bill! Oho if I don't fucking kill you today!"
At this moment Xavious felt exasperated but there was nothing he could do, him getting caught was something he couldn't have foreseen.
Everything was going well until he was leaving and somebody started running their mouth in order to bring his act as a rich young master to its pinnacle he took out some 'coins' and threw it in the warbeast who was running his mouth face.
Who would've guessed!
Who would've guessed that the moment the 'coins' made contact with the warbeasts face laughing jack would come out saying he didn't like how the coins sounded when they slammed in that warbeasts face
What the fuck!
Who the hell knows how coins sound when they hit somebody in the face!
"Come on let's work something out"
"I told you already give me those weapons and depending on the quality we can pretend nothing happened"
Laughing Jack had been saying this for a while now, for him it was a simple trade but to Xavious giving up the scythe would lead to his death.
"Tsk here!"
On the way, Xavious had gotten all sorts of things that were thought to ward off or seal evil spirits and wrapped the scythe's in them.
Snatching the two tightly wrapped scythe from Xavious the henchman carried it back to laughing Jack.
"Watch him"
Taking the scythe he dropped them in front of him unwrapping the multiple layers of paper seal and small chains that were wrapped around it.
"Why the hell are there so many of these damn trinkets on it"
As he was yanking off the last trinket he didn't pay much attention to how cold everything around him was getting, just how the scythe's felt in his hands, was sufficient for him to ignore the cold, they were obviously of considerable quality he just needed to see and confirm it.
The cloth they were wrapped in was the last seal, Xavious had it specially made, embroidered with the seal's design in the fabric.
The second laughing jack removed the cloth off the first scythe the entire ally was plunged into a cold depressing, it felt like death kept brushing past them.
Subconsciously everyone of their gazes was on the scythe.
Not letting the moment pass Xavious sprang forward coiling himself around the henchman that was closest to him restraining both arms and legs.
Opening his mouth wide Xavious blade-like fangs shimmered under the moonlight, his fangs met no resistance as it sliced through the henchman's throat.
A rain of blood covered the ally yet still no one broke out of their trance-like state, in fact, they seemed to plunge deeper, the blood rain only seemed to add to the eerie mood.
Warbeast were creatures of war but still children of nature, this was the first time they've encountered something like that and enemy that wanted to devour their souls!
