In the midst of the dozens of corpses flying all around him, Ayl caught a glimpse of Sam, barreling through a crowd and dispatching no less than half a dozen demons at once. It was a once-in-a-lifetime strike coming from a relatively new Hunter, and he couldn't help but be impressed. When she jerked her head towards the intersection, he nodded quickly in response before turning north. They needed to keep moving, to get the bulk of the horde as far away from Hatsu and Atma as they could.<br/><br/>A rather large demon stood in the way, impeding his passage, so Ayl did the only logical thing. He ran toward the building nearest the demon, and dashed up the side of it with incredible speed, forming two long needles out of darkness and holding them between his fingers. Using his momentum, he leapt forward, frontflipping over the demon and throwing the needles downward at the same time. They hit their target right on the mark, each stabbing into one of its eyes and causing it to roar in pain. Invisible to the naked eye was an incredibly thin wire of darkness attached to each needle, and leading to Ayl's fist. He spun himself in midair, using the momentum to straighten himself and pull the threads taught, making the demon reel back perfectly into position for Ayl to land on its shoulders. "Now you fight for<span style="font-style: italic">me,</span>" he said with a devilish grin, as he used his threaded controls to steer the demon north, barreling through massive crowds with the beasts flailing arms as he did so.
