《The Noble Curse of Ookami [Previously Titled: CLOSER]》The Grim part 2
Advertisement
Kyuuto's team woke up later, started with Yato looking through the window to see a gruesome sight of warriors scrambling to save their lives, some even lost their weapons. He then alerted the whole squad and they quickly headed up to the roof of their dorm.
"What is... that?" Kanata soon realized how terrifying the creature was, clenching her auric tightly. None of them had ever seen something this big before, although they were already nearly a year serving as warriors.
"Look! It's Kentarou!" Yato pointed to Kentarou who's struggling to fight while evacuating the remaining warriors near him. While the titan starts to destroy more buildings and walk towards the team.
Kaisuke grew more angry when he found out that his allies had been killed by the behemoth. He recklessly hopped from one roof to another while unsheathing his sword, after getting a decent attacking distance from the right side of the creature, he tried to slash the titan's neck while yelling, "You bastard!!"
Kitaro also followed him but from the opposite direction, bearing the same speed as him. But as Kaisuke thought that he would get a decent hit on the titan, it suddenly became aware of him and swatted him like a fly far away.
"Kaisuke!!" Kitaro panicked, then focused on his water element to gather any fluid around him to enhance his blade into a swirling vortex of water. When Kitaro attacked the titan, he unfortunately got caught by its left hand.
The creature did nothing but to scare him, it screamed right at him, spitting its dark saliva and even more goo. Kitaro was scared shitless, as evident by his grip on his own sword and its scabbard weakened to the point of releasing them from his own hands.
Kazuki, moved by the assumption that Kitaro would be eaten, quickly went through the hassle of moving through a half-destroyed building in order to get a decent perspective of the strike.

He then quickly drew out his sword, imbued it with a light element and managed to decapitate the titan's lower left arm. The creature was screaming in agony for a short while, Kazuki and Kitaro escaped in that seemingly small window of opportunity.
After realizing who had attacked him, the titan locked his vision on Kazuki, magically reshaping his lost limb with a sharp spear-like end. He screams as though he had a grudge with Kazuki. He swung his spear arm left and right only to just damage the building around him.
"It's time!!" Kentarou signalled the remaining warriors as well as his own team when the titan's arm suddenly stuck between the destroyed buildings. All of the warriors in the vicinity jumped to hack the creature's head, but they soon failed.
The titan suddenly screamed with high volume, making his attacker nauseated and failing to actually land any meaningful contact to his body. He then maintained his screams for about a full minute, while the warriors adjusting their eardrums, a dangerous sight suddenly emerged.
Hundreds, nearly thousands of hunters suddenly marched to the area from all sides, and because every side of the barriers were destroyed simultaneously, the hunters were able to attack from every direction.
"Shit, we have to fall back!!" everyone abandons ship and starts to run away from the area. A terrorizing sight was left behind in their wake, most of the warriors were dead and/or injured on the site, only to be salvaged by the incoming army of hunters.
Kitaro watched in horror as the hunters were reaching to his comrade's location while he and the others escaped. The Grim looked at them with anguish, and he fled back to the inner side of the sector.
----
On the other side of the base, Kaisuke was found struggling to even breathe after an impactful fall earlier that day. He was surrounded by hunters ready to eat him alive, probably making him one of the zombies. But he tried to defend himself with his sad, broken sword.

He sobbed while pointing his sword towards the hunters near him. His feet were all broken while only one of his arms actually survived.
A man suddenly came to him, he was the one transformed into the titan before. "Ku-- Kuroyuki--?" Kaisuke was shaken in disbelief when he saw one of his fellow warriors in front of him.
"Long time no see, Kaisuke,"
