Chapter 12
Allen flew into the air and hit a tree, slumping against it. He groaned in pain and gripped the katana in his hand tightly. The katana, which was a traditional Japanese sword, had been thrown to him by Kanda before he was engulfed by the forest. Allen's sword was enveloped in fiery red flames, flickering slightly as he used the tree as a support to stand. Kanda appeared before him and looked at him in disgust.
"Che, weakling." Allen shot him a glare and winced as his left ankle gave up on him, causing him to grip the tree harder. Kanda took advantage of that and charged forward, certain that Allen would not be able to block his blow.
Allen braced himself for the impact, shutting his eyes tight. However, no attack came. He opened an eye at a time and saw Kanda looking around, a scowl on his face. He tightened his grip on his sword.
"Come out, you rat. I know you're there." Kanda spat out. Clapping sounds were heard as a man stepped out of the forest, a smirk on his face. He wore a tuxedo and a top hat, the white gloves on his hands a stark contrast to his dark skin. There were weird stigmatas on his forehead, partially covered by his wavy hair.
"My, my! I didn't know I'd be caught this soon." Kanda shot a glare at the man while Allen was completely frozen, his instincts telling him to run.
"Who…Who are you?" Allen asked uncertainly, licking his dry lips. The man turned his attention to him and he smiled in amusement.
"Ah, forgive me for my manners," the man said, reaching out with a gloved hand to tilt his hat.
"Tyki Mikk, at your service."
