Onihunter Yuna

120 Assault

The girl stomped with drawn machine guns over the sodden floor of the forest. She could see the edge of the forest and the walls of the castle. Little surprised, she discovered some beasts who fought each other in the meadow around the castle. Yuna stopped and watched them for a moment. In fact, these beasts fought with all they'd gotten. Why did they do that? Were they bored? Or was that simply their nature?

"I don't give a shit. Their souls belong to me." She counted seven creatures. No problem at all. She entered the field and yelled, "Hey!"

The creatures let go of each other and turned their attention to the girl. A barrage of barking, yelping and croaking came over to her, as the Oni formed themselves into a pack and galloped towards her. The huntress began to grin widely. The creatures were just totally stupid. She tore both MP5 K up and aimed at the beasts.

"Come to Mama!" She waited with anticipation for a moment, so that the Oni could get closer to her. "Five, four, three, two, one," she counted down in her head.

At the same time she pulled both triggers and unleashed a hail of bullets on the beast pack. At first, her arms were pushed up by the recoil, but she corrected the direction at once and held the weapons pointed at the creatures. The foremost was immediately riddled with several bullets and torn to pieces. Two more were wounded and rolled over on the wet grass. The others broke out and tried to flank Yuna.

She interrupted her firing bursts, aimed her left MP5 K to the next creature to her left and took it under fire. The Oni was filled with bullets until the machine gun made a click, since its magazine was empty.

A creature from the right jumped at the huntress, but she thundered her right weapon with full force against the skull of the beast, which was accompanied by an unsightly cracking and a pained squeal. Her right MP5 K found a new target and filled the second right Oni with lead.

The last creature attacked the huntress snarling. The blue-haired let go off her guns, which dangled at the straps on the sides of her, and she moved aside. The Oni landed on the grass and slipped on the wet ground. Yuna grabbed the handle of the sword on her back, tore it out of its sheath and chopped the beast's head off with one blow.

She looked over her shoulder. Three creatures hadn't yet dissolved. She stepped to the next and rammed the sword into its head. With the others, she did exactly the same.

"Guess now he probably knows that I'm here."

She took the upper end of the scabbard on her back with her left hand and pulled it over her shoulder, then put the Katana back. An audible commotion announced the arrival of other beasts. Calmly, Yuna switched the magazines of her sub-machine guns, cocked both and put the empty magazines in the pockets of her ammunition belt.

Relaxed, she walked with raised arms to the corner from where she had heard the roars. Within a few seconds chased three beasts in beautiful succession around the corner and were greeted by a hail of bullets. Fallen into the trap like this, the creatures had not the slightest chance and died miserably by lead poisoning.

The girl exchanged the magazines while she turned around the corner. She could now see the entrance of the castle. Excitement tingled in her belly.

The huntress marched to the closed entrance and checked out the solid wooden doors. Large metal rings served as handles. She grabbed one and pulled on it. Creaking, scraped the wooden gate over the paved stone floor, which measured only a few square meters, before a gravel road came, which led away from the castle.
