"There's a fire *cough*"
After following orders, a group of exorcists broke into the house.
The fire was already raging inside.
Yet, there was one person alone in a room.
His gaze was hard to make out because of the flames and his gas mask, which gave him the appearance of a Krieg soldier.
"W... Who are you!!"
Although the exorcists sensed he was human, their instinct drove them to draw their weapons.
"Who am I... good question."
Bam
Thud
The shot was executed quickly, but with a nonchalant and controlled gesture.
The exorcist who had asked the question fell to the ground, his leg hit.
"Bastard!!"
With a fluid movement, Gorou blocked the barrage of shots with his imposing backpack.
Thanks to levitation, the imposing bag was easily used by him.
"Quick, dodge! *Grrr*"
Despite their reactivity, none of them could match the performance offered by the lightened exoskeleton.
Gorou violently struck an exorcist, before slamming him against the wall.
Bam
Another exorcist out of action, after receiving a blow from his bolt.
"Fuck, who the hell are you?"
Broom
The chainsaw-sword's engine roared loudly, after cutting through the exorcist's wrist.
"Like I was saying... that's a good question," he said, walking toward the remaining exorcists.
The air, already dangerous because of the fire's smoke, seemed to become more suffocating for the exorcists because of the presence of the man before them.
They began to step back with each of his steps.
"Useless trash, there are more of you, right? So what are you waiting for?!"
A masculine voice echoed behind the wandering exorcists.
A man wearing suspicious attire entered the burning building, while his presence stifled Gorou's murderous intent.
Donaseeker.

The humans galvanized by reinforcements immediately rushed toward Gorou with their light swords and light guns.
Unfortunately, no ranged attack could damage Gorou's imposing bag, and direct combat?
A catastrophe due to physical and skill domination, as they had received Soji Okita's knowledge.
Even though he held a chainsaw-sword and not a katana, Gorou's understanding of the sword compensated for this.
Certainly, he lacked practice, but his physique and the exoskeleton made this aspect negligible.
"N... no, please hHaaa!!"
Engine noise.
Despite his pleas, the exorcist lost a leg.
Gorou said nothing during the severing of the limb, but the mechanical breathing of his mask eclipsed the screams and the fire around him.
He rendered all the present exorcists handicapped, after the exchanges during the fights.
Finally, he was done.
"You've accomplished enormous atrocities in the name of your 'hunt'."
Drop of blood.
The chainsaw-sword was covered in blood.
The slightly mystical aura that emanated from this blade because of the holy writings had disappeared.
It now emitted a repulsive presence... soiled by the blood of sinners posing as lambs of the biblical god.
Clap clap
As Gorou turned his attention toward the still inactive Donaseeker, applause sounds echoed.
A woman wearing a daring outfit, which would make any bondage enthusiast hard, entered the room.
"You're really interesting for a human, but you broke my toys," she said, licking her lips.
A dangerous gleam in her eyes, which promised nothing pleasant.
Raynare

Gorou didn't respond verbally, the chainsaw engine just roared louder.
Raynare squinted, displeased, but the human in front of her showed no fear.
On the contrary, his eyes, difficult to see for ordinary mortals, showed amusement.
"Haha, you're getting ignored by a human who barely has magical energy above normal," declared another uninvited guest.
A blue-haired woman, who possessed a sensual physique unreservedly showcasing her generous chest, entered the room.
Kalawarna

"Stop picking on him, Kalawarna," a woman, no, a girl with a build similar to Koneko spoke up.
"And you're kissing his ass too much, Mittelt," she said, glancing briefly at the blonde girl.

"What did you say?" A threatening aura began to escape from Mittelt.
"Come now, ladies, we're in public."
Donaseeker held a lance composed of Holy Power in one hand, while the other rested on his hat.
At the male fallen angel's word, the tension between the two women disappeared.
No, it would be more accurate to call it a redirection toward another point.
Bziip.
With a sound similar to the annoying light from certain underground installations, the lance in Donaseeker's hands struck Gorou's backpack.
'Indeed, I can't see it.'
He hadn't followed the attack with his eyes.
He hadn't even really tried to do so, because this attack was composed of light.
He had just anticipated its direction using Donaseeker's eyes as a base.
A practice often used in martial arts.
'If I didn't have Okita's theoretical experience...'
Gorou understood that hunting fallen angels is different from hunting devils.
"Haha, you seem to have *bam*" Mittelt didn't finish her words, since she collided with Gorou's backpack right in the face.
The ruthless action surprised the fallen angels for a brief moment.
You have to understand that Gorou's bag is enormous and has an abnormally high weight.
It literally contains emergency replacement weapons and other stuff like flash or paralyzing bombs.
That's why Gorou made an effort to place an optional levitation system to facilitate transport and a little gift in case of theft.
Spoiler, he disabled the levitation option by voice command.
Mittelt's face hit a point equivalent to a ton, only to end up going through the wall.
The brutality of the scene attracted the attention of the fallen angels, who were worried about their ally.
Something precisely sought by Gorou, who immediately used his bolt toward Donaseeker.
Bam.
Of course, he missed.
His opponents potentially have centuries of experience, but this was planned.
"Bastard..." The fallen angel's face was surprised by something floating in front of him.
'He will say: let there be light, and there was light.'
Boom.
A light explosion struck Donaseeker in the face.
It didn't just blind him.
Even Raynare and Kalawarna were caught by the flash bomb.
Engine noise.
Blood.
Finally, a head flew.
"Fucking asshole, that's for my son," he said after shaking the chainsaw covered with the impure angel's blood.
"I can't believe it... he got Donaseeker... uh wait haa!" As she emerges from the rubble.
Mittelt immediately suffered another ruthless attack, which this time didn't spare her.
Gorou had thrown his chainsaw toward the blonde loli.
The poor girl ended up impaled, while the engine still runs for a few seconds without its owner's control.
"Grr damn it, the effect is already..."
Unfortunately, the repeated attacks gave Raynare enough time to recover slightly from the flash bomb.
This resulted in him getting pierced in the stomach by a Holy Power lance.
'I must not lose consciousness...'
Gorou's distorted voice resonated for the first time in Raynare's ears, as he removes the lance from his stomach.
"He killed Mittelt and Donaseeker in a few seconds..."
As painful as it was for her to admit it, this human had become a real threat in Raynare's eyes.
"What's happening? D... don't tell me he got Mittelt and Donaseeker in a few seconds?"
Kalawarna had also understood, after completely recovering her sight.
Raynare didn't respond, but deployed her Holy power.
She no longer intended to underestimate her opponent.
"i..is he running away?"
Contrary to Raynare's expectations, the man wounded by her attack didn't counter-attack.
The dominant and brave appearance had disappeared, as he left his back exposed while running through the house.
A pure and simple flight.
'Even if I lose my bombs and my magnetic bag with integrated voice command, my life comes first.'
His heart ached at having used the voice command only twice in combat situations.
But he consoled himself by saying he could always make others.
"Don't just stand there, we have to catch him..."
Boom.
A sufficiently powerful explosion echoed in the former house transformed into ruins.
The second voice command, after the flash bomb, had been used at that moment.
Raynare and Kalawarna could just barely leave the house before the explosion's blast projected them into the street.
The two women had torn clothes and wounds in various places.
"Game over"
As Raynare and Kalawarna tried to keep some consciousness despite the pain running through their bodies.
The memory gun appeared before their eyes.
'Because of you, I potentially sacrificed Freed and my gadgets.'
