Chapter 53:

Yamada.. the One-Armed Hexer Part 1

Testament of the Blood Moon


--CRRAAAAASSSHHHHHHHH--

Oh no! It actually came true!
A loud explosion came from the outside
It rang and shook the whole hideout
They finally made their move, it's time to move out!

"They're here! Everyone call forth your Bloodlust!"

Everyone began tapping into their Bloodlust to ready themselves of the upcoming battle!
The room was overwhelmed in the scent of Blood, more than I have smelled since I became a Hexer. Then another thought clicked on me!
What about Setsuna, what is she going to do? She can't fight, she can only hide.

"Setsuna! We need to hide you immediately! We can't let any harm come to you!"

"Agreed Yamada, we can hide her in various places that the enemy wouldn't find her easily at!"

"Yeah! I think we can use the Pit to hide her for now!"
"Here I will take Setsuna to the Pit so she can be safe!"

"Thank you Selina! I owe you one!"
Selina runs out the room with Setsuna in hand

Akinari then looks at the whole group
"Everyone get ready, I feel 3 really powerful Hexers from the outside!"
"This has to be Anti-Hex, they are the only ones who work in groups of 3 and 4!"
"How did they even discover our hideout? We need to take one alive and get information."
"Okay everyone! Here's the plan!"

Akinari puts his foot down and addresses everyone
The sounds of explosions can be heard outside

"We need to defeat the 3 Hexers outside ASAP! They feel like S rankers so it will be a difficult fight. We aren't sure if they're any foot soldiers so be wary of surprise attacks and keep a close eye on your surroundings!"
"I will take on one by myself and capture them for interrogation!"
"The rest of you need to stay within view of each other and communicate! If you can't beat one by yourself, then call for help immediately!"
"This is a crucial battle, if we lose here, not only will they kill and or capture us, but Bloodline will lose major hold in Yamaguchi! So failure is not an option!"
"One last order before we disperse and that's to come back alive! Do you understand!?"

Everyone shouted in perfect sync
"SIR YES SIR!"

"Good! Now let's go shed some Blood!"

All of us then proceeded together. We all reach the entrance of the Hideout and Akinari looks at us. Selina then regroups with us as we get near the entrance.

"Are you Warriors ready for this?"

We all nodded our heads, then he turned back around and kicked the door down and we all ran into the forest.
Selina and Ichika walk together and I follow Akinari close by. Selina and Ichika both raise their Bloodlust a bit more. Akinari then looks at me.
"Kid, are you ready for this? Hurry and draw your blade!"

I nodded and pulled out Ketsueki.
Are you ready to taste Blood again Ketsueki?
Akinari signals everyone to lay low..
The explosions stopped and the forest grew quiet..
Are they planning a surprise attack?

I look over and Selina and Ichika are hiding
Ichika closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.. I felt jolt run through my body, it seemed like it came from her.. Ichika then opens her eyes and they are glowing red..
That must be the Hex mode I heard about before.. it has a slightly different feeling as when I had faced X..

Selina then reciprocates Ichika and also activates her Hex mode.

I feel powerful Bloodlust coming from all of them..

Akinari then looks at me and says
"Kid just stay behind me and cover my back okay?"
I nod at him

Akinari then closes his eyes and I feel overpowering Bloodlust emit from him, he opens his eyes to reveal a Hex mode! Only thing is.. It's a way more potent than both Ichika and Selina's put together! I look at his eyes and notice that they have two broken hexagons in them!
This must be the power of the Double Hex! Such overwhelming and brutal force!

Just then as we sit tight and lay low, we see a lonely black figure step into our field of vision..

He walks up for a bit and then stops..
Akinari then whispers to me..
"Here they come.. get ready Yamada.."

The unknown individual then raises both of his arms in the air like he was signaling the others..
