This particular contract is the latest in a series of extremely tedious and preparatory extensive contracts from this client. For this contract Ly had to quintuple the usual number in his hunting party, leading to a group of almost one hundred low to medium level base hollows following him. This large number of hollows always made Ly nervous, get this many hollows together and they are bound start trying to kill each other. He was able to control them through fear though, they all knew with a single touch from Lys 'blood" they would experience crippling pain and fear. This kept them in line for now, however, the tension between them was already rising. If Ly waited much longer they would start kill each other, or Ly would have to kill a few to make an example, either way he would need to go and 'recruit' more.
As they emerged from the garganta the hunting party, closer to a small army than a hunting party really, could sense the human souls running around them in every direction, unaware and ready for the slaughter. Ly could hear them shifting around behind him, they all knew the orders were to wait for his command before they did anything. However they were still hollows, and patience was not a common thing in their nature. Ly knew this well and waited for the inevitable. It was surprising to Ly that they lasted as long as they did, but as expected one just could not resist the food right in front of him. As he leapt for a human walking past him Ly brought his tail down hard, the bladed tip of Lys tail punching straight through the hollows chest and pinning him to the ground. As Lys ‘blood’ took effect the hollow screamed loud enough to echo throughout the city.
With a look the remaining hollows held fast, all too afraid to move unless they end up like the hollow still screaming on the ground. Ly shifted around looking and listening, he did not like this contract; too many things could go wrong. Although it was all going to plan so far, this city was known for an abundance of highly skilled spiritual beings, most wanting all hollows to dies. Sticking to the contract would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, if he contact took much longer to turn up. The hollows screams kept the others scared and in line, but also meant any strong spiritual being could hear them. If another turned up instead of his contact this contract would turn into a slaughter with the streets red with human blood.
After a few minutes Ly was getting extremely nervous now. Ly lent down and bitting through hollows neck cutting off its screams, with a flick of his tail he flung the body into the middle of hollows. As a feeding frenzy broke out Ly walked a circle around his small army. He should have been there by then; to control this many hollows with food around would be difficult soon. That is when a high pitch scream cut through the air and a hollow was hit with a Kidō blast killing it instantly. Looking the sky was filled with shinigami looking down on them swords already drawn. A series of howls, grows, hisses and snarls flooded from the group of hollows as they all prepared for battle, claws, teeth and tails tensed and ready.
With a loud deep growl Ly said
“Attack”
With that 1 word hell broke loose. The shinigami fell from the sky striking at any that came into reach, as the hollows pounced on any they could reach. It was all a flash of swords, claws, teeth and tails. The occasional explosion, flash of light or familiar high pitch scream meant either Kido or a bala or cero had been used. A few of these stray attacks that missed everyone blew up a shops store front as the body count grew. Only a few seconds had passed, and yet a quarter of the hollows were already dead. The shinigami hadn’t came out unscathed though, at least one was dead, torn to shreds by the wave of hollows, their body still lay in the mass of fighting. It was also clear that many of the shinigami were injured to veering degrees, though many only look superficial.
With another loud deep grown Ly changed the fight completely.
“Scatter”
With that almost every hollow broke off the attack and scattered in every direction, some in groups and some by themselves. The hollows that remained to fight all fell silent as Ly took off down the street to evade any shinigami.
