Just as he felt it was about time to catch up with his team, his headset scratched to life.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><em>"<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">Approach with caution. Try to identify any strange grimm and focus your attention on them. Do not engage unless they attack first. Xeo, any good routes for us to get closer?</span>"</em></span>The hunter paused as he lifted his rifle back up and looked around in direction of the team. Quickly following the paths stretching forward, only the one on the right led towards the outpost.<br/><br/>"Stick to the path on your right. Can't see anything specific from this distance, I'll be moving in soon." Xeo replied after scoping the area before them, lowering the rifle beside himself once more. One last good drag from his cigarette, the hunter grabbed the butt and flicked it away before swinging the rifle around like a staff to make it shift into it's smaller form. Xeo held the gun in his off-hand and reached down to the sword on his waist to pull it out.<br/><br/>"Aegis, 6-blade spread..." he muttered to himself as his poured his aura into the blade as well as wrapping himself once more. The sword began to glow blue before the metal seemed to spring to life, metal plates sliding and clicking rapidly before 5 blades sprung out, identical to the one he was now holding, to make 6 floating identical swords. Xeo let go of the sword he was still holding as the other ones floated up behind him and jumped up high from the peak. However, he didn't quite just simply soar back, he'd consume too much energy doing so. No, instead the man chose to reach a certain height and let himself free-fall down along the mountainside, using the 6 swords as grabbing and stepping spots to help himself navigate through the thicket of trees and branches that littered the way down the mount. He wasn't planning on joining up with the team quite yet, given their current headstart, but Xeo didn't feel like there was any real hurry to get back to them either. Finding more comfort in scouting the area, he could apply his own knowledge to the landscape of the country he was raised into. This hunter had been trained in these lands.
