Yuuma looked back as he ran, seeing Kelin and an unfamiliar girl close behind him. As the girl asked him where the kid who needed help was, a white blur passed them -- one of Yamato's hamsters. Good, whoever it was that was in danger, they wouldn't be for much longer. He took another quick look at the girl, choosing to not speak and simply motioned for her to follow him with a nod of his head. Soon enough, they were in the Crimson Sky, a young boy getting dragged away by a pack of Youkai. Eyes widening from the shot of anger he felt, he expelled mana and leapt dozens of feet in the air towards his enemy. Wind rushing by his ears, he strengthened his right fist, before bringing it down like a hammer on one of the dogs as he landed, shattering the creature's skull. Nearly simultaneously, he reached into his cloak, unsheathing and strengthening the knife that waited on his left hip. Still following through with his overhead blow, he drove the point of the blade into another Hell Hound that had the child in it's jaws. Yelping angrily, it let go and twisted its body, snapping its jaws at Yuuma's neck. Reacting quickly, the robed man brought his already strengthened hand up instantly into the hound's mouth, stopping the creature's furious drive for his vitals. It snapped its jaw closed with enough force to draw blood from his hand, despite the fact it was strengthened. Clicking his tongue at the hot pain, Yuuma forced the mana in his hand out, creating a powerful shockwave directly in contact with the Youkai's head, removing it from its body rather messily. Seeing Kelin kick two other hound's off the boy and moving to protect him, Yuuma grabbed the two beasts by the scruffs of their necks just as they leapt back at their target. As he felt a third Youkai sink its teeth into his calf, he let out a loud, frustrated curse, turning his body to drive the dog he held in his left hand head-first into the wall next to him. Dropping the lifeless body and reaffirming his grip on his knife, he plunged it into the second Youkai's neck, before tossing that one away too. At the same time, he strengthened his leg and immediately expelled mana from it. The blast rocked the creature that had its teeth in him, causing it to let go and stumble away. He looked at it with contempt, breathing a little heavy, and picked up a small rock near his feet. [color=f26522]"Die, mutt,"[/color] he spit as he imbued the rock with mana. Winding up, he whipped it at the creature's head, willing it to release its energy the moment it made contact. With yet another loud shockwave, the Youkai fell to ground, dead.
