Chapter 177 - Heart-Eyes, Though Eater
As the sickly colored yellow eyes of the Behemoth followed the weapon, I timed it in my head. This would be a lot easier than when I used to throw the ball up at the same time at Baseball practice.
I didn\'t need to speed up reaction time for this one because it was something I had practiced as a kind on earth. I timed it and wound up; this usually didn\'t work very well, but I was just a kid back then.
I fueled my anger and outrage as I caught the black and red, cracked bat, slamming it into the side of the Behemoth\'s head. The bat cut diagonally and severed the top part of the creature\'s head, causing it to rear back in surprise.
Then after turning the remains of his head back and forth, the Behemoth collapsed. Neft must have lost sight, so it would be easy to focus on the very close others.
"Get out of here, and I will try to get to him, but I need to know where he will be. Can you help me out with that, or those Metalheads are going to get you, and I can\'t protect you right now, okay?" I asked Clarence, and he nodded as he walked over to the wall and started to pull off armor and put it on.
"Sure, top tower, break the Blood Moon, and he will lose control of the Behemoths and Nether Knights, but you need to make sure to watch out for the Karen\'s. They are all nasty women that are almost as dangerous as Neft himself," Clarence explained, and I nodded.
"Good, how much does this thing weigh?" I asked as I looked up at the tower and took some steps back until I was beside him.
"About the same as half as much as the stone it took to build the Keep! What are you?! Some kind of monster?!" Clarence asked me as he was suiting up, and he was starting to look more like a Dwarf than a Demon.
I thought it was rich that a Demon was calling me a monster, but I let it go as I focused on Hellbat. Cheesy name, but hey, I was on a roll and swinging it now; I was getting a feeling for how it was straining my muscles.
"Perfect, I always wanted to see if I could fly," I said as I stepped forward, windmilling the Hellbat in an underhanded swing picking up speed as I focused on the tower.
The wind from it was starting to create a wind storm of straw and dust as the Hellbat started to hum and my arm started to feel the strain.
"Fly?" Clarence asked, but I was already bursting forward, and then I jumped into the air as I timed the Hellbat to point at the top of the Keep.
Even in this intense state, the speed and strain on my arm was incredible, and my aim was low, and I smashed through the Keep. I crashed through the stone walls of the first turret and then into the second that was on the opposite side.
I flipped forward in the second and smashed down, smashing through the floor and landing into a pool full of beautiful naked blue demon women that expertly dodged the falling stones, and I landed in the waist-deep warm water.
"What is he? He looks so nice and handsome. Are you looking for Neft, the angry master?" One of the girls asked, and she moved forward like the others.
All of them had glowing pink tattoos, and the first one did not really fit the description of a Karen, but this wasn\'t my old world.
I backed up from the vapid-looking women that had hearts burning brightly in their eyes. These were the Succubus that I had been warned of, but they seemed changed, and none of them seemed to be the described mean Karens.
As I backed up, I thought about it, and Karen\'s and then being mean was totally an Earth thing, but what did that mean? I didn\'t really have time for it right now, but it wouldn\'t be wrong to ensure Neft\'s location.
"Where is he? And please stay back, I know you are all Succubus Demons, and I am the one that gave you all those marks," I said, but that made the women\'s eyes burn even brighter.
I swear they started to pulse as all the women started to get excited, but they stayed back from me like I had asked. One of the women took a single step forward and then stopped and smiled at me.
"Yes, thank you, he is up in the observatory; killing him will be nice until Dao comes and kills up all. Still, we were all barren and destined to die whenever Neft got tired or too annoyed with the way we acted before," One of the women explained, and I nodded and grinned at them.
"I will be visiting him after that, so don\'t worry too much about it. There are going to be some big changes soon, so stay here, and I will go deal with Neft," I said, and then turned to go, but stopped when another one of the women called out to me.
"Wait! Neft had special things in his head, so don\'t damage it so we can get the Thought Eater to get the things he stole from everyone," the Demon called to me that stopped, and I nodded to them.
"Good, I was worried about that. I will make sure to bring you his head, but I need to all to stay out of the way. Maybe even leave the Keep for now," I said to the women, and they nodded gratefully while still thanking me for fixing them.
I grinned, turned with my Hellbat, opened the door to the center lower area of the Keep, and walked out into the center. I looked around, and the place was empty, and I looked up.
