6 Ancient Temple - Hollows 2

The Last team entered the Ancient Temple. But not all people had entered the Temple, there were still 5 people left. The ones who decided not to rush. Alice, Alex , Albion, Laura and Ren (So many A's).

Alice was not really happy at seeing Ren, Alex didn't really know what had happened a few days ago, so he was neutral to Ren. Albion just shrugged it off, and Laura looked at Alice with a 'I have a rival' look, while Ren didn't bother looking at the two at all.

"So the five of us… will form a team." Ren said with a sigh. He didn't really want to form a team with a person who he had defeated, totally destroyed too.

But such was fate. His team work would probably be very divided.He glared at Alex and Alice and said," IF we want to pass those trials, please do try to cooperate with us a lot, otherwise we probably will fail,BADLY." He added with a glare.

Alex nodded, while Alice just looked sideways, she didn't really want to talk with Ren. Talk about bad luck, spending the next four years with them…

"Let's enter this shitty Temple. I don't want to waste more time in this Mountain. I've had enough dealing with Hollows as it is." Albion said with a sigh, Laura nodded, and Ren agreed with him. Alice and Alex also nodded.

The five neared the doors of the Ancient Temple, and disappeared in a white flash.

"The last team has entered the Temple, Sir." A voice rang out, the source was a shadow, you could not see his appearance, due to the darkness.

"Good, it is as I have predicted, release All Hollows, from Newborn Level to Rank G, and the ultimate Rank F Hollow. Let's go for an overkill. Show me what you are capable of, Ren." Olsen smiled as he looked outside the windows of his Office, with a playful smile.

"Understood, sir. I'll tell the staff to release all of them. Am I allowed to leave for now then, Sir?" The shadow said, as he showed his pair of blue eyes to Olsen, who smiled," Yes, and do hurry please, the faster the better it is."

The shadow then left, as if it was never there, leaving Olsen alone. The man himself, was still smiling, and a hint of amusement could be seen in his eyes, as if this was all planned.

"Show me what you can do… Ren. Your father would be disappointed if he knew his only son was suppressing his true power so much...Show me...Show me what you can DO!" Olsen muttered to himself.

"You are his son after all… His precious son… The one and only… Deathbringer…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are y'all fine?" Ren said as he scratched his left cheek. His teammates had all fallen with either their butt or head. All of them in pain, besides Albion that is, who like Ren had managed to masterfully touch the ground with his feet.

The two men just looked at the 3 others and smirked, they high fived each other with a grin visible in their faces. " Man, we really are amazing… To be able to get such a perfect standing…" They laughed.

Ren grinned, it had been so long since he could relax so much with his friends. Usually his dark personality took the best of him, however when he was around Albion and Laura, he felt more relaxed… And a more happy personality showed up.

"Ren… Don't laugh at this! We are in a serious situation!" Laura groaned as she got up. She no longer wore a dress, which she thanked god she decided to change her clothes, and now wore more suitable clothes for her job as a Slayer.

"Anyway, everyone get up. I sense some Hollows nearby, far stronger than the ones we faced before. We might just face some trouble…" Albion said as he looked at the 3 other members of the team.

All of them stood up, they looked around and did not notice the Hollows, besides Ren and Laura that is. The two of them had enchanted senses, so they could feel the Hollows in the air, besides using Exo Particles, Ren had also found the Hollows very easily.

"Two in the left side, five in the right side, five in the middle, a total of 12 Hollows, 10 Newborn Hollows, 2 G rank equivalent Hollows. I'll deal with one of the G Rank, while Albion, you take care of the other G Rank. The three of you can divide the 10 Newborn Hollows however you'd like."

Ren said with a low voice, as the 12 Hollows started to appear. They all had the form of a Wolf, seems like it was also formed as a wolf pack too.

"Are you sure you two can deal with a G-Rank Hollow…" Alex said, however he couldn't finish his sentence as a Hollow jumped at him, he quickly activated his gauntlets and attacked the Hollow.

"Don't worry 'bout us! Just do your part!" Ren said as he shot towards one of the two Hollows with one line in their masks. He blocked the Hollow's claw attack with his hand, moving slightly to the left and pushing the claw with his right hand.

He then unsheathed his sword in less than a second and swung it at the Hollow, purposely missing it's vital parts. The hollow growled in pain as it was sent a few meters away, just by pure raw strength, an action which was not missed by the rest of the team.

"This dude… How did he manage to push a Hollow with his own raw physical power?!" Alex looked at him as if he was a monster. Hollows were very strong physically, they could push stuff which weighted tons, they could even throw them.

Although Hollows which took the form of a wolf weren't really big, they still were 3 meters tall! That was as tall as bears. They had about a ton of sheer raw strength, so to push them several meters was really hard.

"Don't look at me you dumbass!" Ren shouted, and Alex noticed a Hollow being him, he blocked the strike with his arm and send the other fist flying at the Hollow. " Focus on your own Hollow, you idiot! You could've died…" Well he could've died, but Olsen had hired Hunters just for this.

The next moment A hollow got slammed to the walls, Laura had killed one, steam was escaping from her body. She looked very angry. " DIE YOU UGLY HOLLOWS!" She yelled as another Hollow was slammed to the walls.

Ren and Albion sweated. She was really scary. Albion didn't notice his own Hollow opponent sending his claw forward, attacking him, and barely dodged by a fraction of a second, he started sweating slightly.

'A minor Hollow like this almost killing me…' He thought and was pissed just at the idea of that. "Appear in my Hands, Krono!" He opened his hands, and a pair of dual swords appeared, Krono the swords which were made for killing.

"Die!" He yelled as he threw one of the two swords at the Hollow, however it was as if the Sword was tied to his hand, and if one looked carefully, they might notice a very small string attached to the sword's handle, and also to his palm.

"Dual Wield!" Albion shouted as he manipulated the sword to turn left dramatically, stabbing the Hollow, almost going through it. Albion knitted his eyebrows and said,"Vibrate!" The sword suddenly started to shake, and the Hollow released a scream of pain.

The Hollow's insides had been reduced to almost nothing. "Double." Albion added with a smirk, as the Hollow's eyes, which were red flashed black and it fell into the ground, and disappeared, leaving only it's soul behind.

"Easy." Albion finished with a grin, as his other sword returned to his hand. Ren sighed, his friend never was good at trying to hide his powers. Seems he also had to reveal a bit of his own powers if he wanted to kill this hollow in front of him.

"Burn them, Soul Reaper!" Ren muttered to himself and threw his sword with all his strength he could muster at that moment and the sword gained power and speed until it reached the Hollow."EXPLODE!" Ren shouted as his weapon exploded, dark purple energy everywhere.

The Hollow stopped moving and glared at Ren for a fraction of a second, the next moment, the Hollow did not exist anymore, just the soul, which the sword gladily ate. The sword then returned to his hands, the next moment he slammed his fist up, next to his head, hitting a hollow which was about to bite him.

"Alice, be more careful with your responsibilities . You were supposed to deal with those 3, don't let them near us for no reason." He glared at the redhead who slightly shook and said," I'm sorry."

"And done, this was my last hollow." Laura said as she slammed the fourth hollow into the ground. Her personal weapon was not made of metal, it was simply her own body. Her bones and skin were extremely tough.

Alice looked at Albion,Laura and Ren as if they were monsters. How could they defeat Hollows so easily? Not to mention… They called her a prodigy of a century… This was literally like stomping on her with their own feet!

This made her heart ache from pain. She gritted her teeth and straightened her sword and shouted.

"Astaroth, Fly away!" She jumped towards the last hollow she had to kill and her sword started to gather a large amount of wind, creating a mini tornado.

"Get torn into pieces!" She shouted as the mini tornado transformed into a vortex, pulling the Hollow inside it. Despite how much it resisted, and almost succeeding, a single stab by her sword made the Hollow lose all resistance.

It quickly died under her vortex, torn into pieces, even it's soul was fragmented.

Ren looked at the scene with a bit of amusement, while her attack had not been that high of a level, it still was good considering her background, she had always been sheltered. An attack which killed a Hollow border line G Rank was pretty powerful.

"Nice attack." He said with a hand at his chin, thinking deeply, while Alice's left eye twitched slightly. Was this seriously the same person who had almost killed her just a few days ago? Just how much can a person change!

She resisted her urge to slam her sword at his head, and looked at her crush, Alex who was still finishing his last Hollow, he finished it with a final punch to the Hollow's mask, cracking it open, and the Hollow disappeared, leaving only the soul behind, which Alex feed to his weapon.

Slayer Weapons, the more they ate souls the more powerful they became. Typically it was only limited to Hollow Souls though. Ren looked around and saw that all the Hollows had been finished, he nodded his head and told the rest of the team to go forward.

"We'll probably face stronger Hollows as we move, maybe there will even be a F Rank Hollow there. We need to be careful. A F Rank is too strong for us currently, even if we do kill it, it'll take a lot of our stamina, which we desperately need to keep at medium or high levels." Ren said.

Alice raised an eyebrow, while she knew that she couldn't kill a F Rank Hollow, she felt like them together wouldn't have really that much of a problem killing it, but what really annoyed her was the fact Ren was acting as if he was weak.

From her observation, she could see Ren,Albion and Laura were not really at the level a First Year student was supposed to be! They were far stronger than any freshman, which was really scary!

"Whatcha looking at? Let's go forward." Alex pushed her back slightly, confused at why Alice was frozen like that, he sighed and walked forward, his hand intertwined behind his head. His weapons still equipped, ready for any fight or battle.

"Team, ALARA move forward!" Ren said with a grin as he cracked his fingers, he was really excited for the future, well not really, but he had to be positive for this moment at the very least. He wondered, what did the future hold for this team?
