The sound of sloppy footsteps running on stone resounded in the cave that Tsubori had resided in. He had only recently begun going by Zephesto, and to these teams after him... The demon of the winds. The frantic, terrified footsteps were not from the rogue huntsman. But from the leader of the latest team sent after him. It had started well enough... They tried to stick together, but a cave in forced them to separate, undoubtedly Zephesto's doing. It was two and two, though with some of the pathways looming over great cliffs in the cave network, a well placed wind burst was all it took to knock one of the two down.

That wouldn't have been an issue, as any graduated hunter could survive a fall. But before he even landed, his foot touched the tip of a sword. With the force of a falling person, countered by a blade moving at that speed, Zephesto tore the man in two almost immediately. The single man up top fell easily to Zephesto in one on one combat. The leader and his final teammate came tot he cavern minutes later, finding a mutilated husk of flesh that they didn't need to recognize as a corpse to know it was one. Zephesto simply appeared before them, heading deeper into the caves. The teammate broke after him at full speed, enraged beyond logic by the deaths of his teammates. A well placed shot backwards collapsed some scafolding, delaying the leader long enough to kill him with no issues.

It was then that the leader realized it was lost. He ran back the way he'd come, hoping he could make it. As he neared the entrance, he hazarded a glance back, and his heart sank. He was still right there. He panicked, raising his weapon and firing a shot. A single shot, that Zephesto parried, flashing green as he begun his assault, brutalizing the final attacker. After mere seconds, his aura was spent, blade meeting flesh to bisect the poor man. Without so much as a moment's wait, Zephesto put his helmet back on, starting out into the sands, using his ODTP to avoid walking as often.
