Chapter 77: [First Kill!]
I have seen people far worse than monsters. Even in my previous world I had dealt with scums who treated children like shit. They were the worst of the worse.
But this takes the cake. Even though my world was bad, but to this level. Nope, I haven't felt this disgusted in my entire life as much as I am feeling now.
-Slash!
[+20 Skill Points!]
I killed a few of those scums as my eyes looked at those poor children inside the ring. Their shaking eyes as they looked in my direction with fear.
A sudden fury appeared in my mind as I glared at those men around me and killed another dozen of them. Those fuckers… I will give them a thousand deaths over.
-Slash!
[+50 Skill Points!]
Those system messages were strangely annoying. They were breaking my concentration as I tried slashing these bastards.
I saw them gaining their strength back up after dying, so rather than killing them, I then decided to cut only 2 of their arms. Along with 2 of their legs.
It will still kill them. But their pain would be much more painful than simply by a fatal slash.
-Slash!
A dozen fell.
-Slash!
And a dozen more fell again.
"He is only one man! Surround him! I can't believe he won't fall after taking hits over and over. Just keep going on," one those men who looked a tad bit stronger than others spoke as he observed my face with pure anger.
-Whoosh!
And then dashing towards him as I slashed about 10 men in between, before I placed my sword just above his tongue.
With a satisfied yet evil smile, I looked at the horror filled look appearing on his face before I put a fraction of my strength in this attack.
-Slash
And then I cut his lower jaw off his face, before I threw it away. Blood gushed into various directions as I then slowly relaxed before looking at the horrifying expression of everyone present there.
"M-Monster!!!!"
"Run!"
I sighed at their words before I mumbled,"how filthy," and then looked at the bastard who was at the farthest. At first I thought I might need to use a bunch of my skills here but looking at how pathetic they were…
'I didn't need to get serious against these guys,' I realized that they were far too weak. If I used any of my skills against them, they would die without being able to do anything at all.
Not something I would like as that would be too merciful for them.
It's a good thing that they were coming back to life all over again. This way I can kill them a hundred different ways, making them feel the pain that they put those poor kids in.
-Whoosh!
-Slash!
And once again, dashing towards the man who was the farthest, I cut down everyone who was in between before my sword slashed him into two pieces.
Their misery… has only begun.
…
[Location: South of the castle!]
The fight between Amia and the group had reached near its climax. Even though the group was a little bit tired, their vigor was only increasing with each passing moment.
Though other players had also caught up to the south area as well. So they needed to kill her before some random players appeared and took away their kill.
"Whoa! That bitch has a total of 1000 skill points! Attack her!" One of the players, who reached the south area of the castle, shouted with pure excitement in his eyes as he looked at Amia.
Amia, who was already on edge against the madmen, observed the new players with an alarmed look. If they were anything like the current players she was fighting, she might really end up dying.
Even though she was an immortal in this place, dying was something she still hasn't completely come to terms with.
'I must escape from here,' she decided as she changed her stance from offense to defense before running towards the room from where Alice and the others had come from before.
"She is trying to run away!" Alex shouted, panicked that she would run away bringing all their efforts to zero. They had worked so hard to corner her and if she runs away now, it will leave a bitter taste in their mouth.
It doesn't matter who gets the points, the main thing was that someone should get it.
"Got you!" Percy, who was now basically covered in electricity around him, blocked Amia's path before he moved for a punch.
A bunch of holy shields appeared in between but they were all broken down into pieces until Percy's fist was stopped against her skin.
[Greater Scorch!]
And Alice used her skill to damage the area where Percy was attacking. Even though Percy was somewhat caught in the explosion, he didn't seem to mind as he was already prepared for another attack.
However before anyone else could launch their attack, an arrow came at the precise timing when Amia's defense was the weakest. It was strong. Strong enough to pierce her skin, making her look dumbfounded at the guy who shot her.
The arrow passed through her cheeks and then through her skull, as she dumbfoundedly looked at the direction where it came from.
And the guy who shot her, Mark, smirked as he looked at the system message before focusing on the falling body of that Saintess.
"No hard feelings, haha. I will let you guys have the next kill," he cheerfully spoke as all of them dejectedly sighed before nodding and preparing for another round.
While the Saintess slowly regenerated only to find those kids looking at her again, more thrilled than before, more hungry than before.
…
[Adrian's POV!]
Moving around the underground, I took a look at how everyone was doing. As usual, everyone was having fun hunting. Avida, Invar and Levi were also at their respective locations. As for Boss, it seemed the prince was awake for some reason, but given Boss was there, I didn't need to worry about him creating a problem for me,
"Excuse me, Mr Crowley," the prince spoke as he looked at me with a question-filled expression," where are we going? Isn't the surface on the other side?"
I nodded at him before speaking," there is someone that I need to pick from here. You aren't the only one whom I was going to save here, you know?"
My words confused him as he wondered who else could be present in these parts of the prison. From what he had known, all the vampires were in the other wing of the underground prison, with him being the only vampire on this side.
And he was correct. He was the only vampire here. Just that, it wasn't a vampire that I was looking for.
[Quest 6: The Dead Saintesses plea!
Difficulty: Impossible!
Description: The Saintesses used to summon the Heroes and before, were forced to kill themselves in exchange for power. It wasn't their choice but their families and friends were threatened, and in exchange they had no choice but to succumb to the Cruel King.
Objective: Find the wandering Ghosts of the Dead Saintesses and listen to their request!
Reward: [Chain Quest: Angels' Request!] ]
It was one of the hidden quests that I needed to finish. Earlier, I wondered about how I should find those dead saintsesses. But then looking at the blinking girls on the map, I clicked on them to check about their information. And bingo. There were the ghosts of those girls, floating around as they talked with each other.
And with that, it became pretty easy as breathing to locate them.
Moving towards them, I reached the corner cell, where I found the bodies of those dead saintesses. And to my surprise, it wasn't just two or three, but at least a dozen bodies present here.
"What… is this place?" The vampire prince's eyes opened up wide as he looked at the dead bodies of those saintesses. He was having a hard time believing what he was witnessing.
"To their own kind… just how filthy are they?" He mumbled as he pitied those saintesses.
"I know you are here. Come out," I spoke as I looked at the 'empty' air in front of me. The Prince, Lincoln, was confused as he observed me before narrowing his eyes at the prison.
"Why should we?" A voice came from the prison, making me smile as I replied," I will help you out of this situation."
"What do you want in return?" Another voice came, this time from a different person… err… ghost.
"A bit helps with the situation that is going on up there. I need someone who understands that structure of the castle," I said even though it was a lie. While I did need their help, it was to complete the quest. As for the castle itself, I have it all mostly figured out.
"How can we trust you?" The third voice asked, while I pondered for a few seconds before speaking," you don't need to. I will just help you out a bit and then kill those bastards and bitches in front of you. Whether you want to help me out after that is up to you. It's something that I was going to do anyway since 'that' being has asked me to do it."
Since, there is a limited amount of things I can tell them, I think I can mix in some lies here and there.
"That being?" The first voice asked and I answered," yeah. The one I am contracted with, the [Game Master!]."
