Vati: "I have to leave you, but keep training."
Laura, Terpsichore: "Alright."
.
.
"I have placed all my pawns.
My source of income, my advertising board, and my bodyguards.
All that's left is to wait for them to grow abundantly.
But there's still a problem to solve with Terpsichore; despite all the training I make her do, she still can't awaken a capacity.
But well, with a bit of luck and serendipity, I'll surely find a way.
Unfortunately, I've never had any luck."
Vati stops his train of thought to turn his gaze towards the two individuals following him.
He decides to isolate himself in a sparsely populated place.
He turns around and sees the faces of his opponents.
Vati: "… Mmh, I have met you before"
After looking at them for a few more seconds, he finally remembers them.
Vati: "But yes, you are the two bastards I beat at the Lumiman headquarters."
You, you were the one who shot at me!
The two men remain silent, staring at Vati.
Vati: "I hadn't killed them?"
After looking at them more closely, he notices their bloodshot eyes and swollen veins.
Vati: "... It's a spirit!"
Vati draws his white sword as the individuals propel themselves using the walls around.
...
Terpsichore: "Hello madam, do you need help?"
Laura: "Who are you talking to ?"
Terpsichore: "Well, to the lady who is right there."
Laura, who was wiping her sweat with a towel, turned around and saw a woman dressed as a priestess, motionless, with bloodshot eyes.
Terpsichore approaches the woman docilely, but a blade of blood rushes towards her face at full speed.
Laura: "Terpsichore, attention !"
The blade stops just a few millimeters from his face because he manages to hold it back with his hand.
Terpsichore: "Oh !"
He jumps to move away and gets closer to Laura.
Terpsichore: "I think it's an enemy."
Laura: "There are several."
Other individuals emerge from the woods and approach in a threatening manner.
Terpsichore: *smile*

In the alley, blood stains the ground and the walls.
Vati looks at his two adversaries cut into pieces, he uses his accelerated blood regeneration to heal himself and prepares to leave when suddenly the previously severed limbs move and gather, forming a monstrous human chimera.
??? :"How do you know ?"
Vati: "Who are you ? And what do you want, spirit!?"
??? :"How do you manage to use my powers ? Shhhhhhhhh I am.... "
Vati no longer waits and pours all his energy into his sword, cutting the monster in half vertically.
He remains silent when he suddenly hears footsteps.
He turns around to see a man dressed entirely in red with red eyes and hair.
??? : "I am the spirit of blood."
BOOM !
