NOVEL WEB 7 – Emergency Mission
Things had been pretty uneventful for the most part during the past few weeks. Bullying weaklings and hiding from the strong ones as usual. Are we sure this isn't a Chinese novel? Currently he was on his regular afternoon patrol when suddenly he heard a very annoying alarm sound he hadn't heard before.

'What?!' he screamed internally. Before he could even have a second thought he dashed towards his home, but when he got there no one was home yet.
He knew the route his sister took when walking to and from school and this was around the time she usually would be getting out of school. He hurriedly traced the route towards school hoping he could make it in time to prevent anything from happening. It took him only a few minutes to make it halfway through the route as he was now capable at moving at about highway speeds despite his lack of any specialised movement skills so far.
He just turned the corner when he saw some frivolous rich kid with 4 lackey's pulling his sister into an abandoned alley in the distance. His mind went blank and he ran after them into the alleyway. When he got there the lackeys were surround her as the rich kid was trying to pull down her skirt and there were tears in her eyes as she was trying to push them away as best she could, but it was futile with 5 guys surrounding her. He was barely even cognisant of what he was doing as he let out a massive hollow roar powerful enough to shake the surroundings. All of them stumbled over unable to keep their footing including his sister.
He was so enraged. Death was not sufficient, he must show them absolute terror. Quickly used his blades dull edge to slam them away from his sister and into the wall with little care. It wasn't enough though. They couldn't see him. Suddenly he had a thought and slowly spirit power started coating his blades enhancing the iridescent effect on them even further as they seemed to glow. Then he slammed them into them again except this time they didn't slam into the walls again, but their souls separated from their bodies and slammed into the wall while their bodies remained where they were, but slumping like a puppet that had lost it's strings the only thing indicating they were still alive their slowly rising and falling chests.
"What the hell is that monster!" one of the lackeys yelled.
"Shit, shit, shit, just protect me I'll call for the police." the rich kid tried to put on a confident face while planning to abandon the lackeys to slow down the beast that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They were so terrified didn't even notice their physical bodies laying on the ground unconscious attached to them by the Chain of Fate.
The lackeys weren't buying this though, Hisashi wasn't like some kind of big animal, this was an absolute monster, the kind that nightmares are made of. There was nothing normal about this and police weren't going to solve this. They all started running at the same time leaving it to survival of the fittest. This only enraged Hisashi further though and he released another powerful hollow roar that made their legs turn to jelly as they struggled to crawl their way out of the alley.
Hisashi looked at the Chain of Fate before putting his blades between the chain links then using the to slowly drag the first victim back towards him. The other's hadn't even noticed it yet, but the victim was screaming bloody murder as he came closer and closer to the monstrosity.
When he came within arms reach of Hisashi his face was filled with snot and tears and if he has been able to piss himself in soul form he probably already would have. Suddenly Hisashi's mask separated between a lower and upper jaw revealing a row of razor sharp teeth. He used the dull inside of the blade arms like a pincer gripping the lackey and bringing him up to his mouth and chomping down without a second thought consuming the entire soul.

He was so enraged he didn't even notice the notifications. The whole thing happened so fast the others hadn't even made it to the end of the alley when he started pulling the one farthest away towards him. The others looked as if they had seen death itself as they watched the one that had made it farthest of them all slowly be dragged back past them towards the jaws of hell. The second one didn't last any longer than the first. They were all absolutely trash just like their behaviour.
By the time the first made it to the end of the alley he had finished the third.
Before the fourth lackey could even do anything he was pulled out of the bright street lit by the orange setting sun back into the dark alleyway towards certain death while squealing like the dying pig he was leaving only the rich kid that was leading this little gang. Hisashi had left him for last though, nothing can bring out true terror like a sprinkling of hope and that was what he had given him by letting him reach the street.

The rich kid started running up to people, but surprisingly despite his loud yelling for attention they ignored him like he wasn't there. Quickly he gave up moving further up the street to other people trying to get the attention of anyone willing to give it. Finally he saw a patrolman from the small neighbourhood police station. Just as he thought he was saved and wanted to run up to him his Chain of Fate suddenly went taut allowing him not one step further and just a moment later he was slowly being dragged back to the alley kicking and screaming at the top of his lungs trying to grab hold of anything he could, but no one was even looking at him and he wasn't strong enough to resist the pull of the chain.
Hisashi made sure to pull him back slowly unlike the lackeys, by now the rich kid was hyperventilating and in a fatal position as he was dragged the last bit finally given up resistance.
'Oh it seems his mind snapped.....how....good.' he thought before finally gulping down the last one.
