[He's absorbed enough in getting back to his research that Add completely misses Sho's network post. What's a little harder to miss is the sound of something thrashing around the temple grounds. It's just loud enough to be distracting, and after a few minutes of trying to ignore it Add finally gives up with a loud sigh, stomping outside to see what all the fuss is about...
A wolf. A black, freakish looking wolf that bears a striking resemblance to some of those ayakashi from back in March, digging around right outside his window. It raises its head to stare at him as soon as he steps into view, growling. He puts down a border immediatelyβbut he realizes too late that the growling is also coming from behind him.
Two ayakashi. Surrounded. Add doesn't even have time to turn around before the second beast is lunging at him, digging its teeth into his leg until it burns with pain and blight, his barrier breaking apart the instant his body hits the ground and he screamsβ
But when the first one leaps forward to finish him off, it's thrown aside by a burst of light... no, a burst of hard light, from Apocalypse's body forming in front of him. He doesn't get a chance to question how it got here (didn't he leave it in his room?) before it lets out a piercingly loud screech, its body shifting into strange shapes before firing a thick energy beam directly at the creature gnawing at his leg. It snarls and releases him.
... Okay, so apparently this is the combat system he's been trying to access. Not the most ideal conditions for testing, but he'll take it.
Unfortunately, he's still not in the clear, considering both those attacks didn't seem to actually damage the ayakashi that are now circling him. He hisses painfully as he tries to pull in his leg, huddling underneath Apocalypse's protection. How long can it hold them off with its attacks...?
At least it would be pretty hard for anyone else in the household to ignore all this racket by now.]
