First chapter of many

The demon soared through the air using his own control over his magic to do so wearing his typical black clothing as well as the nodachi, Date on his back. He had recently started to fly around himself so that he could get used to it more over always relying on Zinnath to take him around. He knew that she did not mind at all and probably wanted to help him where she could but he did not want to risk losing her suddenly. She was one of the very few things he had left as a reminder of his sister and because of that he wanted to protect her as much as he could do so. He knew that she would eventually follow him to help him but he wanted to make sure he would be ready to use his magic well enough then to protect her just in case anything happened. He didn't have the best past so he probably had enemies around just waiting to find a way to get to him and he did not want Zinnath to be that target.

He flew over the area of ancient ruins and scoped it out a bit. He had not exactly met the woman who would be his partner in this job but he wanted to make sure he met her. Her name was Leila and she was somehow the sister of Noheme and that was enough alone to get him to want to meet her. The goddess having a sibling was interesting to him because she never spoke about it until recently. It wasn't too weird for her not to talk about herself but it still intrigued him a lot to be able to meet someone who happened to share blood with Noheme. He hoped they would be easier to get along with though because his first encounter with Noheme was not the best at all. The two almost took each other's heads off due to the situation they were in and only reluctantly worked together. That job ended with them gaining respect for each other but it still took time before they would finally consider themselves as friends and teammates. He wondered if Leila could be someone similar as to what Noheme was to him also.

He used his sense of smell to pick up on any scents that stood out and then followed it to where he found a girl in armor standing in front of a entrance into one of the ruins. He waved his hand as he dropped to the ground and started to slowly move towards her. "Yo. Leila, right? Got to make sure who you are before we talk more." He questioned her a bit to make sure she was who he was after. From the scent alone he could slightly tell it was her from the similarity it had to Noheme's but with the life the goddess had it was hard to just assume everything was the way it looked out to be. If she was an enemy in any sort of way he would have to figure it out quick especially with someone like Lilith being around to pull strings.

Cirven let up his guard a bit upon hearing the girl call out that she was the person he was looking for and teaming up with. He was surprised to see how happy she was especially from with who her sister was and with the complications that came with her coming into this world. He did not know much about her but knew that she had only recently been created or something similar from her scent being similar to the a small green ball that he saw Noheme get on one of their past jobs from Lilith, her creator/father and the man who was in the center of the reason why she was the way she was.

He didn't know even if Leila knew what was going on with Lilith but with how she was acting he was not going to bring it up and make her feel differently. He just felt like it was not his place to bring up something like that and would simply be there to support the girl with the job she had chosen to be a part of. "Nice to meet you, Leila. I'm Cirven Mizune but I'm pretty sure your sister has told you that already." His face broke into a smile towards the girl. "Kind of surprised to see you are pretty much the opposite to your sister. Maybe you can help the gloomy fox with being a bit more upbeat at some point?" He teased at Noheme who was probably somewhere off sneezing from her being talked about by him.

Before they could continue talking much more a voice called out to Leila. A young girl who was shorter than Cirven came out from the shadows nearby which made the demon get on guard even though he did not look it. He made it a tendency to look as though he was full of holes when fighting when he was actually not at all and was only baiting someone to attack him in some way. His guard only dropped a little again when Leila explained that she was the one who contacted Leila about the job. "So I take it you don't know how to introduce yourself in a way that won't get you killed on sight?" He joked with Lexa then smiled. "Hopefully we can get this over with quickly or at least this ends up being fun in some way. What is that rock you have and what do you have us here for anyways?" He questioned the girl while staring at the rock and then back at her face. The situation gave him a weird feeling like there was something else do this that they might have to do some digging to get the answer to. He did not trust the randomness of how the girl approached them at all and did not exactly trust the job details she would give them. Something was fishy to him about it all.

The demon could tell that it would be easier to get along with Leila than he thought initially. Noheme was similar to that at first even though they both almost ripped each other's heads off on the first time they met but somehow their respect for the power that each had formed a friendship that lead to them trusting each other enough to be partners. It was something that took Cirven a lot to do in this world that he had lived through countless turmoils with. Leila did not know the struggles her sister was going through mentally that Cirven picked up on because Noheme probably did not let her in hopes of not disrupting the happiness her sister felt with her life. Cirven was going to try and fix what he said to her and try to get her to believe that maybe he was wrong in what he saw or felt but before he could he was cut off by Lexa.

They had a job to do here and he had to make sure Leila got through this job alive even though something bothered him about it all. It was almost like there was something in the air that kept nagging at him to find out what was really going on but he could only figure that out by continuing the job he was brought into. "So just clearing the way is our jobs? I only hope it stays that easy. Can't say I completely trust you here, Lexa." He gave the woman a glare and then made his way into the ruined temple first. "Let's get this over with." He spoke out as he made his way in.

The room they were brought into looked like it was some sort of hidden tech lab for a group. Multiple machines lined the walls with equipment next to them as well as counters with more equipment on them. there was even beds near the machines that looked like there were some experiments done that would not have been approved in many places. This gave Cirven the returning memory of Cor Torva and how they experimented on person after person in order to gain power. They had no remorse for anyone and only cared about their own pursuits and their goals. A death or more was only a slight set back to them and they just continued to ruin lives over and over.

Right upon he walked in he was welcomed by multiple scents from all around him. Metallic smells swarmed into his nose from all around him. There was something else mixed into the smell though. The smell of ripped through flesh and blood. The mix of scents bothered him slightly at first but he dealt with it. He had a job to do after all and he would be thrust into things because two giant spiders swiped their legs at him forcing him to jump back. The past him had a fear of insects and would have flipped out over the fact of these spiders being that big but he was different now. Three more enemies, two 'enhanced' scientists and a dog stood with the spiders and all of them looked to be morphed into something different with some type of circuits throughout their bodies making them look like some cyber zombies. "Stand back. I'm not in the mood to play around much here at all so.." Cirven took a deep breath of air while leaning his head back until his cheeks puffed out and black electricity sparked out from his mouth. He then leaned his head forward and fired a massive blast of black electricity that engulfed all of his enemies and instantly defeated them besides the two scientists. "You two are a bit tougher than I thought." The scientist did not respond back and seemed to be running off of some type of instinct as they both put their hands out and fired off a combined blast of electricity similar to Cirven's earlier attack aiming to engulf him and his allies in it. "That's kind of cool but you did it wrong." Cirven put his hand out and absorbed the redirected attack into his own body then sent the blast back out at the two scientists who were hit by the attack. After the attack hit them they laid out on the floor accompanied by the other creatures that were their allies and were done in by the first attack. "I don't think they will die from that but they really are not living to begin with. I can see it from here that they are all working off of some sort of instinct to attack anyone who comes in here. The scientists not talking and looking as if they were some circuit obsessed zombies shows that. Be ready to deal with some company or go wait outside. I can hear multiple more enemies around us." The God Slayer's dual colored eyes looked around the dark interior they were in as he tried to find where the enemies could come from next.

Lexa and Leila would comment on most of the things going on while they made their way through the temple, most of which only got slight scoffs from Cirven. He was not really in the mood to be in some temple fighting things that made no sense being there in the first place. Especially things that were enhanced by some type of circuits going through their bodies. The mood was caused because he did not trust Lexa much at all even though she said if anything extra happened she'd pay them more and all they had to do was clear the way. This caused him to quickly defeat a group of enemies and just shrug to the comment Lexa spoke out about wrecking the place. "You said you would pay extra for something like that,
right? I can't just hold back when there are multiple enemies in front of us that I know nothing about. Maybe you can fill us in on what is going on here like a good employer would do?" He questioned her and gave her a glare from over his own shoulder with his red left eye.

He wasn't given much time to really respond though as more enemies all appeared where the others had fallen. They had doubled their numbers too which caused the demon to let out a sigh. "Looks like we have more work to do. Be on your guard. I took those earlier enemies out just quick enough so that we didn't have to deal with any of their abilities but this time we will all have to try more than that." He spoke and then turned his head side ways causing a cracking sound to be heard coming from his body. He then did it again the other way and cracked his knuckles. "I needed a bit of a work out anyways." Black electricity sparked to life more around his arms and formed the electrified claws he used to fight with.

Cirven eyed over the enemies who had entered the room, all of which looked similar to the earlier ones showing a sort of trend. There were five circuit cover dog, two large circuit covered spiders and a circuit covered scientist who looked similar to the ones earlier and like a cybernetic zombie. The demon then ran forward towards the enemies near them and quickly struck one of the spider creature's legs causing it to yelp out in pain. One of the dogs ran towards him and jumped through the air at him but he ducked under it an struck it with his electrified claws causing the dog to yelp through the air and land on the ground with a slight limp. The other spider joined into the fray and shot out some of its webbing from its mouth in order to try and trap Cirven but the demon saw it coming and before it could hit him he was in the air above the sticky substance. This left him vulnerable though as the circuit covered scientist found his mark and launched himself into the air at the demon while wielding a bone saw that he swiped through the air. Cirven had planned a bit ahead and hoped that he would be close enough to all the enemies he could get near when he leapt into the air. The only issue was he was now forced to use his idea now instead of when more of the enemies were closer to him.

Cirven quickly let out a black electric barrier out around his body which covered the spiders, scientist and some of the dogs quickly shocking them each and frying their bodies. Cirven landed on the ground after his successful attack to see that the scientist was still standing. The zombie-like man smiled at the demon and lifted his hand out which fired off a blast of electricity back at Cirven. A blast that the demon instantly knew was his own magical power coming back at him. The scientist was too close for him to be able to dodge it so he had to simply take the hit and he did. The blast sent him rolling across the floor and into one of the machines nearby.

The scientist and the surviving enemies all then turned their focus on the girls while another enemy approached herself who looked exactly like Lexa. The enemies were weakened from their fight with Cirven besides the new female addition and seemingly the leader of the group but that did not mean they were not all a threat.

The landscape of the battle quickly was shifting into the favor of the enemies around the mages with Cirven out of commission for a short time. They started to attack the two girls as if the demon was completely defeated by them in the single attack that was redirected at him. What they did not know was the demon was not anything common in this world at all. "So you think one of my own attacks will do me in like that...?" Cirven's voice spoke out in a light tone from inside the debris of the machines he had been sent through. A loud sparking noise suddenly was let out coming from where he was and with it black electricity shot out from that area and around the destroyed machines. "You are all idiots if you think that." Cirven walked out with a few scratches and bruises on his body at first but they all suddenly disappeared due to his regenerative abilities.

One of the circuit filled scientist noticed this and quickly reacted by throwing his scalpel towards Cirven. The demon didn't waste time dodging as the sharp blade pierced through his head and sent it bending backwards. His head remained head up, looking towards the ceiling as he stood there. The black electricity coming from his body increased in its surging and sparking. "You don't listen well, do you?" Cirven grabbed the scalpel in his skull and ripped it out without even a sound to show it hurt him. The scalpel surged with the black electricity the demon could create and control while in his hands as well as a new purple aura. Cirven then threw the scalpel back towards the scientist but the circuit zombie man was able to move out of the way of it. The problem was he did not avoid the attack heading towards him and before he could react a bolt of black electricity flew through him and shocked him intensely. The bolt then formed into Cirven and he grabbed the scalpel from out of the air as the scientist was about to absorb the attack and send it back at him. Cirven then jammed the scalpel into the side of the man's skull. "Not this time."

He then noticed that the person he was supposed to protect was in danger while fighting one of the other enemies and threw the scalpel at what was left of the man attacking her. It dug into his back and he let out a rage filled groan from the pain as he reached back to pull it out from his flesh. Just like last time Cirven took the form of a bolt of black electricity and traveled through another of the scientists and the remaining dogs to the metal scalpel that was dug into the scientists back. "Don't worry. I got it for you." He spoke out as he quickly ripped the scalpel out from the man's body and stabbed it into his skull like he did to the man earlier this time surging with electricity over and over again. The last scientist growled out as he managed to absorb the damage he had sustained from being shocked by Cirven's electric form and was about to send it back towards him and Leila but before he could the scalpel was ripped out from the head of the scientist Cirven had just dealt with and thrown to its new target in the last surviving one. It soared through the air covered in black electricity and the purple aura where it met its mark inside of the head of the scientist. "Push overs." Cirven spoke out under his breathe. "Leila, I know you are stronger than that. you are Noheme's sister after all." He spoke out to his partner. "Just one more left so stay strong,
okay?" He looked towards her and gave off a smile at her before changing into his electric form again and dashing towards the scalpel that was now lodged into the head of the dead scientist.

He stared down the Lexa and her clone that were now fighting back and forth and knew he was needed because their employer seemed to be somewhat outclassed by her circuit covered clone. Cirven threw his scalpel at the clone when he saw and opening and dashed behind it in his electric form like his earlier attacks. This time though both attacks were dodged by the last enemy. Cirven caught the scalpel and twirled it around his fingers. "You are of a different breed, huh? You still reek of being an experiment though which pisses me off." He hinted towards why he was so uptight about the job to his partners. He disliked any place that reminded him of his past as an experiment just like the one they were in. "I'll put you out of your misery." He dashed forward at the clone and slashed the small blade around which were dodged by the clone but he managed to throw a kick up into the legs of the circuit covered woman to stop her dodging and slash the scalpel across her chest as she lost her balance. She let out a short yell of pain from the attack and managed to throw a kick up towards him while she was on the ground. Cirven caught the kick attempt with his free hand and slashed her leg causing her to yell out again from the pain. He then was about to stab the scalpel into the woman but she snapped her fingers and caused two dimensional portals to appear above and below him and with it a barrage of blades were sent out. Cirven let go of the Lexa clone and jumped up to avoid the blades from above but had little room before the other blades would hit him. He quickly let out a black sphere of electricity around him that blocked the blades from hitting him as well as hit the Lexa clone and damaged her from her prone state. The attacks stopped and with it Cirven dropped to the floor to look over the fallen clone. "Pretty sure she is dead. I'm not hearing her breathe or her heartbeat. Does this mean the job is over?"
