[He set his jaw after that latter statement. He wouldn't know the exact reason for that reaction, but he didn't--couldn't--think about it.]

Ayakashi, huh. Then I'm going. [Ross wasn't about to wait before taking off, either.]

o7

[volksdaemon]

[Days like this he misses having Jennifer around. But to compensate, he teleports a little ahead of where Ross is heading and watches the direction Ross runs, then waits for Ross to catch up, then teleports ahead again in the next general direction.

Finally they get to the spot that Ross should be able to sense. A nice casino center in Munich, plenty big enough and successful enough to attract the people that ayakashi prey on, with enough churn through the day to attract 3 of them. Two are spread out inside, but one is closer to the front entrance. ]

"Please let the gods bless my casino," the guy said. Seems to me like the casino got plenty blessed with success already - a little too much, in fact.

[shiitan]

[The teleporting wasn't the worst of what Schuldig had done; not by a long shot. However, he was quickly reaching 'straw that broke the camel's back' territory, if he hadn't already.]

I don't want to hear your opinions on blessings.

[He leapt forward, taking rare advantage of his inherent nimbleness as a shinki. Once he closed the gap between the ayakashi at the front entrance, he swung his arm with an flat palm, as if he smacking it against a table. In response, the ayakashi fell to the ground. While he hadn't damaged it, it was struggling to even move thanks to an invisible force from above. Ross was already rushing inside, but even then the ayakashi had no better luck at moving.]

[volksdaemon]

[Schuldig makes a Tsk sound in his mouth.]

Idiot! If you wanna destroy those things so bad, you gotta be in vessel form to do it first!

[Not about to play around, he calls Ross' name, trying to force the shinki to come back to him.]

Senki!

[They can solve this quickly, but not if Ross tries to play hero and do it all on his own.]

[shiitan]

[He glanced back as he heard his vessel name being called. It was not a friendly glance, and not just because the spell keeping the ayakashi pinned down wouldn't hold if he was changed to his vessel form. Regardless of what his thoughts or feelings were though, before long he was in that pauldron armour form once again.]

...

[Wow. He was even at the point where he didn't snipe back at Schuldig's words.]

[volksdaemon]

That's what I like to hear.

[Schuldig grins as the pauldron settles onto his arm. It's still heavy as hell, but he lifts it with both hands to start aiming.]

Three ayakashi to go.

[He levels it in the direction of one heading towards him and launches the strange chain-like weapon with it.]

REND!

[It punches a hole through the ayakashi and then Schuldig waits for it to retract back into place.]

Two.

[shiitan]

[The barb behind that statement was not lost on him. After all, with things the way they were now, shinki were at their most useful to gods when they were obedient and quiet about their real thoughts. Both of which Ross wasn't very good at, and it wasn't always easy to go against that expectation as much as he wanted to. However, he had no intention of accepting his fate. He never did.

For that reason, if that chain-like weapon suddenly became a lot heavier upon coming back, it wasn't an accident.]

Two more than there should be.

Turning it in now that we've beat them, woo

[volksdaemon]

[He feels the weapon get heavier, but he doesn't attribute it to Ross. He thinks it's just the nature of straining himself like this and the recoil such a weapon has.]

Something we agree on.

[Lucky for them both, the ayakashi immediately head towards them and Schuldig has the forethought to lash the chain out towards the front lawn - causing a huge divot, but what does he care? From there, he wraps it around both ayakashi in a rushed motion that is still a lot slower than it normally would be for Schuldig. After all, the weapon is damn heavy.]

REND!

[He yanks the chain just to be sure, and both of the remaining ayakashi are cut clean in half. They start to disappear in the air as clouds of blight that Schuldig makes sure to stay far away from.]

Hmph!
