Author's Note: I was going to make a timeskip to Day 15 after the fight with Summer, but it would feel too rushed and confusing since a lot of things would be skimmed through, so here we go
<><><><><><><>
"CYKA BLYAT!"
BOOM
The entire village square exploded from the shockwave caused by out attack. My claw, her sword, two unstoppable force collided with each other, neither giving out
The blade locking lasted for several second with both of us trying to get the advantage over the other, before I roared and kicked her back
Summer flipped backward, her cloak fluttering in the air, giving one the impression of her flying. Contrary to what I thought, she didn't try to use our distance to her advantage and change to her gun mode, since I'm just a Grimm and I don't have a mean of ranged attack
Well, I do have it, but there's no way she can know that
Since she didn't switch to using gun, I assumed Summer would just land to the ground and continue her melee assault by dashing to me or something, to which I would just respond with [Acid Spit] to hopefully incapacitate her
I didn't expect her to just completely vanished in the sky
My [Sixth Sense] flared up and I quickly bent down, just in time for a blood red blade to fill my vision, it was her sword. Somehow, Summer'd teleported behind me while still in mid-air. It must have been her Semblance
The sword passed through me by less than a hair's breadth, and I could almost feel Death winking at me flirtatiously from the other side.
I twisted myself as the second blade came down vertically, nearly splitting me in half. As soon as I landed, the first blade swiped horizontally, cutting a piece of fur on my head as I quickly ducked down
Slapping the blade away, I quickly made distance between us by backpedalling. She wouldn't let that go of course, and dashed forward to cover the empty space between us
"!!!!"
As if I'd let you do that, woman
Summer looked down, only to see both of her feet has been stuck to the ground, held by what seems like a white substance, that is the product of my [Web Generation]. I'd blasted thise things to her feet when I turned around, just so I can immobilized her
Grinning, I spat out several mouthful of [Acid Spit] at her. Summer in turn blocked them using her sword, making the metal hissed as it came into contact with the acid. With a flick of her hand, the webs were cut into pieces, leaving strands of it flying the air as she rushed at me again
As I was about to enter her striking range, two black, metallic cylinder-shaped rod appeared in my hand and I held it up in an X position
This is probably the most powerful ability in my arsenal right now, and I'll be damned if it didn't work
Over the last few days I've made it a point to practice my unique Aura's property, that is the ability to mold my Aura to any shape I want. This required a good deal of concentration and patience as the progress is slow, but after some time I've gotten used to it
At current I could maintain basic shapes like a sphere or cube for half an hour, or a full hour if they are 2D. The more complex I mold it to be, the shorter the duration which I can maintain it become. The two rod in my hand right now can be kept like this for 10 minutes, even if I don't concentrate on it
But they're just rods, you'd say. Don't tell me you're going to fight her with this thing is what you'd probably thought in your head. It seems ridiculous, but I assure you it isn't
Remember the Truth-seeking ball in Naruto? The one that can nullify all ninjutsu and dematerialized anything it slashed through? Yep, this is just the same
Summer thrusted her sword forward, hitting the rod in my hand. Her eyes widened as the blade disintegrated upon coming into contact with the black rod
My feet touched the ground, and I pushed forward, intending to go to the assault. I whipped my blade at Summer, to which she dodged to the left. The wind generated from my slash sliced a nearby building in two. I continued with the relentless assault while she kept dodging my strike.
Maybe deciding that it was enough, she finally responded by blocking my attack with her other blade, which, in theory, isn't that much of a smart move considering what happened to her first blade
But then she just have to pull out the silver eye
'Oh come one, are you shitting me?' I cried as Summer's blade was enveloped in a silver glow. As our weapon clashed with each other, her blade doesn't seems to disintegrated like the previous one. On the contrary, my black rod seems to be overpowered as it began hissing loudly as if burned
Thinking fast, I swiped at her leg, to which she lifted her foot up to avoid being knock to the ground. That was enough time for me to headbutted her and causing her to stumbled back. Using this chance, I jumped onto a nearby roof, not wasting a chance to throw some [Acid Spit] down
Due to [Double Jump] and [Jump Boost]. One allows me to jump twice in mid-air, while the other enable me to jump twice as high. It doesn't need a mathematician to say that my jumping power has reached a new height (pun very much intended)
Ahem, back to the narrating, Summer evaded most of the acid and blocked the rest, but a few still hit her. She reacted by throwing her cloak away, leaving it sizzling in a corner
"Not only did you take away my Vodka, you also kill the people in this village, there's no way I can possibly see you as an ally..." She said in a low voice
"I'd thought it wouldn't come to this, it seems like I was wrong"
Uh oh, is this one of those moment in anime where someone decided to reveal that they weren't even serious in the beginning, but now they will, and then proceed to beat the fuck out of their opponent?
Both of Summer's eyes started to glow silver. Dropping her sword to the ground, she held her palm forward, as if grasping something. A silver sword materialized in her hand, it's radiance shone in the burning black sky, like a beacon in the storm.
Little pebbles lying on the ground started levitating up due to her increase in power, just like every goddamn scene in Dragon Ball. The sword solidified in her hands as she brought it up, causing me to have a clear look of it
It's not like any sword I've seen. Both the handle and the blade is shining and seems to be incorporeal, as if they're just pure light
Don't tell me... she's also molding her Aura into weapon? No, this is bad, this is really bad...
My entire body shivered. In the show, Grimm are especially vulnerable to Silver eyes, as if it's the bane of their existence. It'd never been explained why, but I knew that one hit from this thing could eventually end my life, or two if I'm really lucky
I chill ran through my spine as I saw her gone, at the same time a shift of air appeared behind me. The next thing I saw, a white light filled my vision, and an unpleasant feeling tore across my left arm
Pain
Using her Semblance, Summer'd teleported above me and sliced off my arm. The building which we stood on shook from the force behind her slash
Holding back a scream, I attacked her with my claw. Summer gracefully stepped backward, going out of range just enough for my blood red claw not to reach her, before stepping in again
I tried to hit her with my other arm, only to find out that it has been decapitated from before. She used my short moment of confusion and stabbed me, this time in the chest
Have you ever touched a 1000 degree knife with your bare hand? Yep, this feels just like it
As if it isn't enough, she dragged the still submerged blade diagonally across my abdomen, effectively slicing it open. If I were a living being, my intestines would have already fallen out at this point
Since that's not the case, all it caused is for black blood to spurt out from my wound. I finally throw dignity to the wind as I screamed like a little bitch, because fuck that hurt
Steam is rising out from my wound, probably my Aura trying to heal me. I looked to my the stump that is my left arm and see that it is already cauterizing the wound.
Kicking Summer back, I made a mad dash away from her to try and gain some distance. But she teleported in front of me and kicked me back
I crashed into a nearby building, the force created by the impact were so strong that I coughed up blood from the pressure in my lungs
Before I could so much as retaliate, she teleported in front of me again, stepping on my chest to prevent me from moving, not that I could anyway. She looked at me coldly, silver eyes glowing in the dark
I wonder if this is how I'm gonna die, because those eyes have 0% mercy in them
A hot sensation in the area near my chest caused me to look down. The blade was just inches from the area that is, if going by human anatomy, my heart
I looked up to see her face one last time. It was still that cold expression, uncaring for the life she's about to take, and void of emotions
A searing pain tore across my chest, and the world around me went dark
<><><><><><><>
So, this is it, huh?
I died again
Even though I've tried so hard to avoid the death flag waiting for me as a Grimm, it's still useless in the end
Being beaten like that, how pathetic of me. Maybe what they said about me is true, I'm just a failure after all. I shouldn't be here, it would be better if I just stay dead
Is that what you thought I would say?
To be fair, I'm tired of living like this, just hiding away from people like in my previous life. Always scared, always hiding from the unknown
It isn't living, it's just surviving
For god's sake, I've been given a chance, a new life. And I'm gonna damn well live it to the best of my ability!
I. WILL. LIVE!

Summer walked away from the Grimm's corpses, holding her bleeding eye with one hand
She'd originally intended to negotiate with the evolved Grimm. It was a monster, sure, but there's this spark of intelligence in it's eyes that is similar to human, she thought she could talk with it, make it join their side as long as she is sincere enough
But that illusion of hers shattered as she looked across the town's main street, littered with corpses of the villagers: old, young, male, female...And standing alone in the middle of that hellish sight, is her target itself
It cannot be coerced with, she realized. Grimm will be Grimm after all. Her plan having changed, although it pained her to do this, Summer have to kill it
It was a tough fight, she admit. The Grimm were cunning as it is skilled. It possessed many different abilities of other species, even though it look like a Beowolf. In the end, she was able to beat it using the power of her silver eyes
"Mission...complete" she muttered tiredly as she picked up her sword from the ground
"... Or is it?" An amused voice sounded behind her
Summer whipped around. She took in a sharp breath at what's in front of her
There, standing across the building where she'd killed the Grimm stood a teen in dark clothes. He was the one she saw yesterday, accompanied by two other people
Unlike yesterday however, his eyes are crimson red, and his skins are paler. Summer noticed with growing horror that his left arm, which is coincidentally where she's cut off the Grimm, has a demonic appearance to it, being pitch black with claws on it
(This is originally supposed to be the first picture from chapter 9. But for some reason, my dumbass accidentally deleted it and couldn't find it anywhere, and I couldn't copy paste image from it either so I have to replace it. Send me the link to the og pic if you have it)
"You..."
"Surprise, Summer? I'm still alive!" He held out a victory sign, but her heart seems to have stopped
"How do you know my name?"
Her only response is a grin
"Oh I know a lot of things. About Ozpin and his war with Salem, about the four Maidens and Relics, and about your daughters. Their names are Ruby and Yang, if I'm not wrong?" His grin seems to widen as he saw her reaction
This is enough for Summer, who activated both of her silver eyes and dashed toward him with blade in hand. Her sword cleanly cut through him diagonally from his shoulder to waist
"Is that all you have?"
She turned around in shock. There's no wound on his body, as though she hadn't even hit him at all. But since Summer is sure of the feeling, it must have been because he has already healed it
"My turn" She heard him whispered behind her ear. Before she can do anything he grabbed her wrist and pushed her to the wall, locking her into place
Summer tried to resist, but she realized his hold on her didn't budge one bit
"What are you going to do to me?" She mocked "I doubt a Grimm like you have sexual urges, huh, you don't even have sex organs to begin with"
The boy didn't look fazed by her taunt. Instead, his grin become wider
"No, no, I'm not gonna rape you. You are more useful than that, Summer. To me, you will be... a test subject"
He opened his mouth, and she could see two of his fangs extended. As he closed in on her neck, Summer finally realized what's about to happen
"Wait, wait, don't do it! Don't do it!" She shouted while struggling despite her restraint
"Don't worry, you're not a virgin so I doubt your blood will harm me much" Chuckling at some inside joke, the boy sunk his fang into her neck
<><><><><><><>
I thank every god out there that I didn't sparkled in the light as a vampire, or I would have just kill myself right here
No, seriously, Edward Cullen is the worst kind of vampire out there. He's so bad that even Alucard would take pity on him and spare his life
Summer had stopped twitching now. She was still crying, though. Seriously, you're supposed to be a badass Huntress who have no qualm about killing Grimm, but I've just given you a bite and you start crying like a baby? That makes no sense
You have turned [Summer Rose] into a [Lesser Vampire]
You have marked [Summer Rose] as your eternal servant!
You have raised [Summer Rose] loyalty toward you to max level!
Summer's pupil shrinked. Her silver eyes now has a tint of red in her irises, making it look like a cross between the Byakugan and Sharingan from Naruto. Her eyes slowly closed as she fell asleep in my arms due to fatigue from the sudden blood loss
Picking her up bridal style, I carried her off past the West gate and to the forest, where we has decided to meet

"Huh, the village is burning?"
A young girl sitting on one of the branches far away from there asked out loud. Nobody answered her, she was essentially talking to herself
"Meh, whatever. I'm gonna go back to sleep now..." She fell back against the tree trunk and continued sleeping. The world could burn for all she care, she only wants to sleep
You couldn't judge her, Helen's sin is Sloth after all

@RuberForumfree : Hey man, being a Beowolf is cool and all but I think it's time for you to give the MC his human form, we've been waiting for 6 chapters for you to do that
Me: No can't do, maybe later. I'm not trying to rush the story by forcing him to become human. He'll have it eventually
Also me in this chapter: *gives MC his human form*
