Steel hissed from scabbards. Boots thundered against stone. Dozens of voices shouted orders—yet for Jin, it all bled into white noise the moment he hurled himself into the swarm, Touki wrapping his body like a second skin.
The guard watches as jin jump in between them time to seem to slow for them as the one they were supposed to kill as jump in between yet the first drop of blood drop from their side .
The first guard didn't even move his blade. Jin's plunged on him both knuckle straight in chest ,the man know he is dead both of his lungs gone jin kick his body to propel him towards another body and the same thing happen to him and jin tossed his body aside like garbage.
The switch inside him had been flipped.
Jin stood in the circle of guards , some guard were stilling reeling where some were already taking action .
A guard lunged from behind, sword flashing. Jin sense wanred him , Jin didn't dodge. He caught the man's wrist mid-swing—the bones cracked under his grip—and drove his claws straight through the guard's thoat . Flesh spill down . The man shrieked, then went limp gurglling on his own blood .
There were total 50 guys . Thirty-five guards were without Touki who came at Jin like a tide. They screamed and swung wildly, desperate in their courage , but Jin moved like a predator gone berserk .
A blade slashed for his back. Jin ducked, spun, and drove his claws up under the attacker's jaw, punching through his skull and bursting out the top in a mist of blood. He ripped downwards, splitting the head like rotten fruit. blood scatter on his face .
Jin Give a war cry and lunged at another , the guards also struck jin with their sharpen blade but they were not able to pierce Jin skin which is like a stone due to hardening . Just only able to Cut jin shirts who has suffered so many cut it basically nothing .
In Jin hand he got someone leg he keep punchring at it as it belong to one of the few who were able to leave wound on him .
The courtyard filled with screams. Steel clashed. Blood sprayed in thick arcs. Bodies dropped by the second.
Touki-users were moving in the mess fourteen of them, blades glowing faintly with their touki . Their strikes leave injuries where other fail .ripping his flesh making his blood drop at last and then the injuries on Jin increase some was able to cut across his face some his legs tendon . A sword cleaved across Jin's arm, cutting to the bone. Another slashed his ribs, spraying crimson. He staggered, but then the wounds knit together almost instantly, flesh sealing before their eyes. Each of them trying to take their pound of flesh . they want to be the one to be able to kill this monster .
Jin roared, eyes wild, and charged into . One guard slashed low. Jin caught the blade with his bare hand—Touki burned into his flesh, sparks flying—but he held it there. He yanked the guard in close, then rammed his claws into the man's skull. a sound came of skull being broken and brain being stabbed. A wet crunch. Blood burst from nose and ears. Jin tore him open and used the corpse as a shield against two others, their blades lodging in their own comrade. In the same motion, Jin darted out and ripped both their throats open, blood fountaining.
Still, the other pressed him. Blades hacked into his back, his shoulders, his side. Every cut healed, but the pain only fuel his frenzy. He fought like a beast unchained—claws flashing, jaws bared, a storm of flesh and steel. He pierced one man's chest and dragged his claws downward, carving him in half. Another he grabbed by the skull and smashed into the stone wall until his head caved in.
And then—the head guard entered the fray.
Unlike the others, his blade blazed with true sword energy, the aura razor-sharp. He didn't charge blindly. He stalked the edges, striking when Jin was bound in the chaos.
The first slash tore across Jin's back, a jagged wound spraying blood. Jin spun, but the man vanished into the mob.
seeing the opening other also jump at jin trying to pin down but jin also pump himself of touki and keep killing .
bodies mound were now start to form .
The second strike came at his ribs—steel and energy biting deep. Blood poured freely. Again, the head guard melted back into the swarm.
Jin threw blood from his mouth but his template which was progressing faster than ever keep healing and jin keep pushing himself .
other touki guard become brave and start to pin jin down with their sword . there were barely 5 touki user left and 12 normal .
The third blow struck across Jin's shoulder, nearly severing the arm. For the first time, Jin faltered, staggering under the weight of the injury.
Jin is being pushed in a corner if thing remain the same he would be pinned down and killed like a rabid dog .
The mob surged. They piled on, snarling, blades stabbing from every direction. Steel stabbed into his body again and again, the courtyard erupting with desperate screams. this time both of bodygurads and jin . For a heartbeat, Jin disappeared under the mass of flesh.
Then he roared. Veins bulged, Touki flared, and with a violent surge, he tore free—shredding the men around him. His claws punched through faces, split ribcages, ripped men open like paper. He ripped out a spine. He crushed a skull in one hand. He disemboweled another with a single sweep. Blood sprayed across walls, pooling black on the stone.
The head guard saw his chance. He darted in for the fourth strike—sword glowing with lethal brilliance—only for Jin who was waiting as other would have been terrified and only one would have charged at him seeing his opening, the one who is pushing him to his death bed . Jin whirl faster than lightning.
He plunge both his claw as swing them upward and they find their mark in man side reaching to his lung and the man also made last minute decision and pour his all in his sword the blade path straight headed to Jin heart , if this connect Jin would Die . But today's not the day that is going to happen . hrough jin lung .
all stop seeing this .
Jin smile feral " Got you "
Jin then push the man back who has lost his strength and slash his thoat .
The head guard's eyes went wide. His sword slipped from his grip as his hands clawed uselessly at his neck, choking on blood. He gurgled, staggered, and collapsed with the others.
The mob froze. For a heartbeat, silence fell.
From the car, Mira shoved Oishi inside, screaming at the driver to go. Two black SUVs roared away, escorting him toward the station. Behind them, the remaining guards hurled themselves at Jin—not to win, but to buy seconds. To pin him down. To die in his place.
Then Jin roared again—feral, blood-soaked, unstoppable. Nobody ran. All charged, loyalty outweighing terror.
They died the same. One after another, Killed with brutal violence. The courtyard became a slaughterhouse.
