Tome of Paladins : The DawnLight

08. The Hell Is He?

…

The guy then wrenching the rumpled black bat out from Tori's grip, that the motion of it put the latter back to meet the wall harshly with a thumping sound, that for a moment almost send his consciousness out, leaving his body.

*Coough*

*Cough*

*Cough*

Coughing in fit raucously from the hit that almost broke his back, he then looked at the guy in its white coat that now standing with his back facing him.

With body that confused him of how it feels gooey and wobbly since he found the present of the man in front of him, he somehow could feel towering presence that made him like an emmet who could die by a slight step, which drowned him in a very unpleasant feeling that feels bitter on the back of his tongue.

The man then throw the bat to the side that raspingly clanging with the floor, while turning his body and face against him.

*Clank* *Clank*

*Clank*

Somehow Tori could feel the gaze from its empty eye sockets that clinging tightly on his courage that he couldn't denied that it started to diminished, bit by bit whittled away. But he quickly slapped it to the side, then glared at the guy that made the latter narrowing his eyes, seemingly find the former amusing.

"Hihihi… Such a big nerve." He said with his damp light voice that feels young, but put spine chilling sensation on Tori's heart.

Not done yet with all of it.

Suddenly on his ear, there's something that keep rustling closer and closer catching his eardrums off the guard and once again put his tension, rigidly ice-cold.

It getting closer and closer, coming from the left side of his.

Its like there's multiple people slithering, taking their leg to sketched tightly against the floor that put Tori subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

*Sliitthh*

*Sliitthhh*

*Slitthhh*

"Its not the time yet. Dinner would be served after were done here." Said the man surprisingly with its soft, pleasant and a somewhat voice that contained pampering sentiment inside of it, who gazed to the side of Tori that now feel even more sandy.

After he said that, there's guttural sounds of dehydrated humans, following shortly with screeching voice that made Tori dizzy and almost lost his grip on the weapon he anytime now would put to use.

*Rrrararr*

*Rrraaaar*

*AAAAAAAaAaa*

While the sound of that things that now slithered slowly, retreating away reluctantly from him. And the chilling presence that getting closer now started to putting distance, he then sighed with relieve.

"What are you sighed for? Trust me! My babies are going to just ripped you alive without much pain… But me… Hehehehe" Tori shivered hearing that.

Somehow could seen passed the mask that hide his expression, and then seeing a smile that seems horrid but also itchy to sliced open his body, while making sure to make him still alive.

But, from all of the air circumstances that now smothering him harder and harder to the ground.

He…

He somewhat finding himself smiling which the guy seems could feel Tori's emotions and expressions beneath his mask.

"Oh,,, Peculiar. You seem enjoying the tensions when waiting for dead, eh." He said, while lifted his left eyebrows slightly.

Sitting on the dirty floor with body that feels sandy, he waited for a chance to counter that he finally found.

Like a gecko that waiting for its chance to prey on its meal, Tori then throws the three triangle devices* to the directions of the slithering sounds and the blue beast that breathing silently on the side.

He then pointed the Revolver that called Iron Harrow* to the man's head in white coat.

*Szzzzztttt*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Szzzzzttt*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Graaaaaa*

*Rrraaaar*

*Bang*

*Bang*

But…

Tori's find himself horrified which put himself bluer and bluer.

'What the hell is he?'

With each shot of the gun, he found himself freaked out of his mind seeing how the guy in front of him just tilted his head slightly backward. Again and again until...

*Click*

*Click*

He then awkwardly clicking the gun that now chambers are empty, while agape seeing the bullet didn't do any damage to the man who now tilted his neck slowly and slickly, trying to putting his head back facing Tori direction.

*Clank*

Then something like an orb that color are black clankedly hitting on the floor, rolling to the side of the man's feet, that soon buzzing like a bee, producing the smokes that filled the place where he and Tori now standing, that even put the blue beast roaring angrily.

*Bssszzzz*

*Pssssssshhhh*

*Groarrr*

Tori then used the distraction of the grey smoke to running to the side, but…

"Sigh."

Then a hand suddenly breaking through the smoke, that easily grabbed the face of Tori.

It was the man in the white coat with some smoke that sizzling on his forehead from the friction of the bullets.

He then lifted Tori easily like a mouse on the mercy of a cat…

More Info added with few things that I seemingly forgot:

*The triangle devices called Tinkle Bell, because of how it always tinkled like the old Triangle dinner bell when it fell on the floor, showing its ringing sound that quite loud to the ear and put a lot of attention to it. Of course. It looks cool and pleasant to the ear until it showing its magic, by blitzing its way with its sizzling blue string ray that electrocuted anyone that unluckily still on its area of effect. What Tori or we know as Gavin used is the new models that sound already muffled a lot by mixed it with some silvery materials that feels like luffy. Hehehe, I mean like rubbers (This is Fantasy, so yeah… I prepared some materials and put it inside the story. Heheh. There's also real material in world now like elastomer for metal rubber and silicone rubber. Thanks to those Chemists and Engineers which I wish to sincerely thank them.)

Tinkle Bell rarely used by the Main Groups of Justice Enforcers, even though the sounds had already muffled because of how some of those known black organizations that they used to handle could reactively jumping to the side, which reduce the victims of the blue electric. Though that's not the main reasons.

*Iron Harrow is a... a... Revolver. Well, just the name that sounds fancy, but it practically just a regular seven chamber revolver. The image are basically like this.
