"Wait!"
"Stop!"
"Please stop!"
"Can't you break the stereotype that bulls only know how to stomp and stab with their horns?!" But no matter how Nick pleaded with the bull-like beast all he received was another hove to the face. Finally unable to take it anymore he decided to seek shelter in his palace.
Ding! The host is in combat mode, can not enter the palace while within close proximity to an enemy.
"Fuck you, system! What combat mode are you talking about, I'm not in combat I'm just taking a beating!" But again Nick was ignored, but this time by his most trusted system.
"Muhahahaha! Brat this is the day, say your prayers, and prepare for death! I wonder how the next person to inherit the system will be like..." The Old geezer was as helpful as ever.
But there was something other than the beating that was bothering Nick right now, he knew that the bull in front of him had four limbs, but for some reason, as it stomped a fifth one was repeatedly hitting him in the chest, and although this fifth limb carried basically no force in its attack, it was this fifth limb that made his heart feel pained for some reason.
Unable to control his curiosity any long Nick tried to peak through his hands that were desperately working to cover his face.
"You little cow fucker!" Nick was unable to believe his eyes, the fifth limb that he had been wondering about, the limb that he so desperately hoped to be a tail, the limb that he had tried to make himself believe was just another skill of the bull, was actually the bull's gigantic love machine?!
Deception stomp!
Nick was unwilling to let the beast have it easy, so even though it meant he was no longer able to protect his body the same way he would when he was curled up like a ball, he still chose to use both his feet to stomp hard on the fifth limb that was hanging above him!
"Moooooooooooo!" And even though the attack lacked the mysterious power of the deception skill it was still able to cause devastating damage, mostly because Nick had used his feet at just the right time when the beast was jumping up and about to land for another stomp, and only with that momentum and Nick's entire strength of a rank one transcendence realm expert combined was he able to harm the seventh rank transcendence realm bull.
The bull was in so much pain and yet it had no hands it could use to massage that area, so it did the only other thing it could do, it turned to the nearest female beast it could find and rushed over, he was going to relieve the pain with a little 'exercise'.
Bang!
To bad the beast chose the wrong target, the beast he chose was a rank higher than him, and before the bull could aim its little pistol the female beast had knocked him to the ground and began stoping on the beast's already injured pistol.
But Nick had no time to enjoy the bull's plight, he was currently surrounded with tens of different beasts whose aura was either just as strong or even stronger than the bull beast! What else could Nick do, except run away with his tail behind his legs?!
Yet just as Nick had moved a meter from his initial spot he heard the female beast from earlier speaking to him calmly.
"It's no use to run away human, you will die here today, that is for certain, but you can cooperate with my questions, that way you can choose whether you want to die quickly without pain or die while being torn into shreds, your choice."
The female beast's violent attack on the bull's manhood...bullhood, had frightened most of the other beasts by the side, and so they didn't mind or interrupt her while she was questioning the human. Plus they too wanted to learn something from the human.
"I choose...I choose! I choose to live in a society where man and beast can coexist with each other, a society where human-beast marriage is legal! A place where a man like me can love a beast like you without being scorned or spat on."
Yes, Nick's brain had gone haywire, and the only solution he could come up with was to flirt with the Enemy, and in this case, his enemy was a beast, but Nick wasn't one to discriminate against his enemies when it came to his life.
"Oh, my god brat! Did you just sell your body to a beast?! Where is your pride boy?! Where is the pride of a true Emperor, stop cowering and fight her like a man! And I don't mean in bed you beast!" The Old geezer was unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Oh, is that pride you speak highly of edible, or is it drinkable, can it turn into a shield and protect me from being mauled by this female beast, or will it turn into a sword and kill her for me?!" Nick was scornful, it sure was easy to call a person a coward when one was hiding in a secret space.
"Human, even though I am flattered over your honest gesture, and your actions are indeed justified when you consider my beauty and grace, I still can't accept an ugly human like you as my husband." The female beast replied while staring at Nick with pitty, what a stupid lad, to think he would fall in love with the beast that would take his life.
"Now, answer my question, why did you bring us here?!" The female beast began questioning Nick aggressively.
This was it, this was the reason the beasts had kept him alive for so long, while Nick was in the palace, a tear in space had appeared near most of their homes and sucked them to this weird place, and before they could understand what was going on a human had also appeared right next to them out of nowhere!
At first, they had been wary of this human, they had believed it was him that brought them into this weird space, so they figured he had the strength to back it up, but not only did the human attack and prove he was weak, but he had even attacked the sacred area of another beast without awareness, proving that he was a weak sneaky little human. Now all that was left was to solve how this weak human had brought them here in the first place.
"Bring you here?! You fucking goat looking bitch, I want to ask you the same question, who the hell brought a goat like you here?!!" Nick was furious as he cursed, didn't Loyd basically guarantee him that there were few strong beasts in a secret realm, but why did he run into such a large group so soon.
Ding! In order to set up the host's death arena, the System has taken the liberty of inviting a few strong beasts from around the world, this will ensure that the host will experience the different kinds of beasts and will learn how to adapt to different situations accordingly.
Damn it, Nick had no tears to spare.
"Who are you calling a goat?! And who are you calling bitch?!" The female beast began running towards Nick rapidly.
Thankfully, Nick was prepared this time, so the moment he saw the Goat moving he used the Blue soul flame and created some wings and flew away at a speed that was not expected from someone in his cultivation level and rank.
Boom!
Even though Nick had a few seconds as a head start the goat was still on his tail, and so were the other beasts that had been sitting on the sidelines all along, among these beasts was a certain white-eagle whose speed far outclassed the other beasts, this beast had taken a few seconds to flash past the female beast and was now hot on Nick's tail.
Nick could feel the beast inching closer with every step, but he was not able to divert his attention to turn back, otherwise, the other beasts would take the opportunity to close the gap he had made with so much effort.
Unable to think of another solution Nick could only grit his teeth and enlarge his wings to ten times their size, and sadly for the eagle which was so close behind Nick, this change had caught it unaware and had burnt its wings to cinders!
"Keeeeeeeek!" The eagle was in so much pain and no longer had wings to support its terrifying speed, so after a flap or two it crashed to the ground miserably, and before the beast could try to get back up the female beast from behind him came running and took his head off with a bite, she was angry and hungry!
But with that one move, Nick had exhausted half his energy supply! He had no access to the storage space, so he couldn't exactly take his dishes as energy supplements like he normally would, and even the only storage ring in his possession was basically empty, as he only wore it after he purchased the alchemist robe, in order to explain how he had taken the rob out of thin air to Loyd.
"You have nowhere to hide human! And based on the energy consumption of using such a powerful flame, you won't be able to use that flame for much longer, am I right? How about this, I will give you a kiss, and end your unrequited love before I kill you, how does that sound?!" The female beast felt like lying and using her looks would be the fastest way to stop Nick.
But contrary to her expectation Nick's speed increased instead, he was willing to hug a goat in order to survive. but to kiss one...
