Takeshi Haruka POV:
I then quickly strike her in the chest taking her last breath before she could say anything.
Ayame Sato-Swift is now dead , I then pulled out the BHA signal Lacrima.
The BHA just arrived a few seconds after calling in the Lacrima signal.
They did a quick scan and quick cleaning since there was a lot of blood, there was the small crater I made earlier, however that's not in their job description.
"Ayame Sato-Swift is an (A+) rank for multiple people murder by her hand, she has killed over 150+ people."
"This bandit right here is a must catch bandit. Sir here is your bounty ticket."
A BHA associate said handing over a Bounty ticket to me.
I grabbed the bounty ticket then placed it inside my ShadowStorage.
(ShadowStorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
Now then which target should be next.
Hmm.. I recall back to what Ayame Sato-Swift said.
Haruto Tanaka ,aka Rouge Samurai (A+) Rank he can be found in the SouthWest region of Isvan.
Kazuki Hayashi,aka Oni (A+) Rank, he can be found Somewhere 8 kilometers West from the Western region of Isvan.
ToraHasegawa Aka Tiger (A+) Rank she can be found NorthWest region of Isvan.
Since Kazuki Hayashi-Oni (A+) Rank, is closer to me than the other two (A+) Rank bandits.
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni (A+) Rank, is my next target.
I started running away from the scene heading to leave this village.

10 minutes later-
Region:Westernregion of Isvan-
Location:Somewhere 8 kilometers west from Valehollow village-
Takeshi Haruka POV:
Hmm… I was near a mountain and all I could sense was many creatures in small spiritual/life force.
The Western religion kingdom of Isvan was only 2 kilometers south from here.
If I was Kazuki Hayashi-Oni I would make this small mountain a place for a temporarily base of operations.
Since Kazuki Hayashi-Oni is someone who could be recognize very easily with his scowling facial expressions, along with his straight medium length green hair, he was about 192 centimeters tall.
I took the liberty to look around for any human made structure or anything that was moved out of place.
I did notice a small pond nearby, if Kazuki Hayashi-Oni is taking shelter by the small mountain landscape.
Hmm… there was a few branches torn off, not only that , there was a stenches of dead animals, approximately 4 whole days give or take.
There was a small campfire, that's been put out for a while, I say the same as the dead corpse scent about 4 whole days.
Which means Kazuki Hayashi-Oni is likely doing his Heist in the Western kingdom of Isvan.
I could wait it out or go searching for him , hmm.. maybe I should go scout him out in the kingdom, then ambush him here. Since I already know where his whereabouts will be next.
So before I'll leave ,I'll set multiple traps laid out for Kazuki Hayashi-Oni.
20 minutes later-
I finish making four different traps.
Tarps-
(1.)-This trap will activate when an enemy walks into a seal plate, they will be surrounded by earth walls that will close in fast, with the intent to crush human bones, only way out is to jump/fly out from the trap since the trap only surrounds the enemy around them and not above them.
(2.)-This trap will activate the moment Trap (1.) has been activated, the mechanism behind this trap is Water and Earth projectiles being launched with the intent to pierce the enemy body, leaving them in a badly wound condition.
(3.)This trap will activate when both the host and the enemy are in range of the small mountain wall this specific position, an explosion will activate on top of the mountain where an avalanche of boulders will fall down leaving the host in a perfect position to be shielded from incoming impact while leaving the enemy defenseless.
(4.)-This trap will be the last trap that will activate when the enemy enters the area, all other traps must be activated or the host must manually activate the trap which takes longer for the trap to set, when the trap is activated, a wall of magic will surround the enemy sealing their magic/mana power temporarily for 1 minute.
I was currently at the front entrance of the Western region kingdom of Isvan.
I then was met with multiple magic knights on standby, this was a problem, by the looks of their faces they are not very pleased with whatever their circumstances.
"Halt!!!"
One of the magic knights said while four magic knights surrounded me two on my right side and two of them on my left side.
"Entering is prohibited by our kingdom due to certain circumstances."
The same magic knight said.
"Hmm… could I just look at the board , then leave?"
I asked the magic knight.
"Fine! Just be quick otherwise force will be used."
"Thank you."
I quickly read the text board most villages typically have when entering any entry point.
Region:Westernregion of Isvan-
Location:Shirotakakingdom-
Shirotaka:kingdom Known for its pristine white stone cliffs, this realm expertly exports fine gemstones to the trading cities below.
I then left the front entrance of the Shirotakakingdom-
Year:X780 January , unknown
It's been 3 days since I have camped in the mountains, I have been feeding off of animals and plants to nourish me along with the pond water.
Year:X780 January , 16
I really didn't expect Kazuki Hayashi-Oni take this long, however they are most likely to succeed with the help of their intelligenceteam by releasing false rumors of there last known location.
And there it was a two signals, which I was able to sense, they are human signals, however one of them hand a large mana/magical force, while the other had a typical civilian villager with almost no magic powers.
I then used ShadowStealth: to hide my presence from being found out.
(ShadowStealth:The power to hide within the shadows.)
3rd person POV:
"Listen ONI, I already made your presence here to disappear, TheGildedShadows, is waiting for you to turn in the stolen item, it will please our master."
A young man no older than 20 years old said to the bandit known as Kazuki Hayashi-Oni.
"Is that so, then when will I be properly rewarded for this annoyance."
Said Kazuki Hayashi-Oni in an annoyed tone of voice.
"Patience..Patience ONI, before that I have to warn you , I haven't had any contact with Ayame Sato ,aka Swift and Raiden Tsukino, aka Kuro, in a couple of days must tread carefully."
"Then there's HikariKuroi-Aka who apparently was caught by an unknown individual , some say it was her arrogance that led to her being caught, which to me looks like the likely hood of happening."
Said the young 20 year old man.
"Tch… Weak bitch can't even complete a single task, without us being dragged down by her incompetence."
Said Kazuki Hayashi-Oni in a complete angry manner with his facial expressions revealing a very grumpy face.
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni stopped his grumpy mood, as his facial expressions revealed a confused and suspicious expression.
"Hmmm.. where you followed!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni snapped quickly into a interrogating persona ,by questioning the 20 year old young man.
"N…No I was not followed,maybe..it was y…"
"Are you trying to pick a fight with me!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni snapped quickly ready to strike the 20 year old young man.
However Kazuki Hayashi-Oni didn't get the chance to strike the young 20 year old man, as the young man was quickly in case in ice sealing all his mana/magical powers including with him being stuck inside a case of ice forcing him stuck in place.
"What!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni snapped quickly , while looking around his surroundings.
The Gilded Shadows:Is guild Tasked with ensuring that the legacy of thievery is not lost, they offer jobs shrouded in confidentiality and intrigue.
Takeshi Haruka POV:
"What!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni snapped quickly , while looking around his surroundings.
I appear out of the shadows with the help of my ShadowStealth, I was face to face with Kazuki Hayashi-Oni I immediately launched a heavy dropped kick to him, while channeling mana into strength and agility.
•bam
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni was immediately launched into two small bushes, Kazuki Hayashi-Oni crashed landed onto the two bushes.
•crash
"You… Bastard!… you will pay!!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni said immediately getting up from the crashed landed bushes.
"TakeOverMagic!:ONIMode!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni shouted at the top of his lungs in an angry tone of voice.
"Hahahahaahah!!!!!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni laughed in a monstrous tone, not only that ,but Kazuki Hayashi-Oni has begun to transform.
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni who was 192 (6'2 feet tall)centimeters tall was now growing up to 9 feet tall ,now has monster hands and feet with monster claws on his fingers nails and toes. Not only that ,but a horn was grown in the middle of his forehead.
I grabbed a rock then chuck it at Kazuki Hayashi-Oni who reacted angrily by such annoyance.
I then made him chase me towards where my trap(1.) was located at.
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni then triggered the trap(1.) seal by walking over the seal, immediately Kazuki Hayashi-Oni was surrounded by a wall of Earth magic, the Earth walls closed in to squash Kazuki Hayashi-Oni whose frame can be spotted due to his height.
•bam
•crash
The trap(1.) had made a connection with Kazuki Hayashi-Oni who was stunned a little by such force coming from all sides, however he didn't get to the chance to rest as trap(2.) was activated.
Hundreds of Water and Earth projectiles were thrown at Kazuki Hayashi-Oni who didn't get a chance to dodge or defend as he was immediately attacked by incoming waves of projectiles.
"Aghhhhh!!"
"Such annoyances!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni shouted in pure raw anger.
I immediately ran towards the trap(3.) where the small mountain was at,Kazuki Hayashi-Oni began chasing me running through the landscape leaving behind an awful trail.
Trap(3.) was activated the moment we got into position.
•boom
•boom
Multiple explosions could be heard and seen coming from the top of the small mountain.
An avalanche of boulders was raining down from the mountain.
•bam
•bam
Majority of the boulders landed onto Kazuki Hayashi-Oni.
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni body was buried in boulders and chunks of rock.
•crack
A singular hand was popped out, then the hand immediately breaks through the rubble.
•thud
Multiple boulders and chunks of rocks was pushed off of Kazuki Hayashi-Oni who was now badly injured by all of rubble.
"Y…You worm…I'm going to…destroy you!!!"
I could now activate trap (4.) I'm going have to force Kazuki Hayashi-Oni to move to where the trap was placed.
Now since he run into multiple traps from chasing me, he won't chase me and since the trap is towards his left side.
"Water Magic! Sword Beam Emission and ScatterShot!"
(SwordBeamEmission: Release water blasts from swords and other such bladed weapons.)
(ScatterShot: Release water blasts that split into multiple fragments.)
Multiple water projectiles were launched towards his right side forcing him to run in the left side direction.
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni activated the last trap (4.) which caused him to untransform from his TakeOverMagic.
"W…What!!"
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni said shockingly, from his transformation magic being disrupted.
However he did react fast enough from the incoming SwordBeamEmission: 6 Swords were then launched towards Kazuki Hayashi-Oni his body was pierced by multiple swords.
•pierce
•stab
•pierce
Kazuki Hayashi-Oni dead on the spot by multiple water swords being implemented into his body.
That makes Half To Go (4/8)
