Thump!
The two men threw corpses left and right in an attempt to uncover the girl.
" Ahh! How far is she buried under here?!" One of them shouted with irritation.
" Just continue tossing! Don't think about it! If you want money, you have to work for it!" The other one said, panting heavily.
After a few more minutes, the rest of the girls body could be seen.
" Ouuu! finally done!" They shouted at the same time.
" Hmmm..." The two looked at the girl up and down.
Her legs were short, her waist was slim and her arms were slender, but her chest lacking.
" Hmmm...." The man just looked at the girl.
Slap!
" Ack! What are you doing?!" The man turned to look at his friend angrily.
" What are YOU doing? just looking...." The man grinned.
" Heh heh, why don't we take her into the forest?" One of them suggested.
" Good idea, good idea... wouldn't want to be caught with our dic-Cough! Cough! I mean we wouldn't want the young lady to catch a disease from these corpses!"
" We should take her to that small waterfall and make sure to clean her up good!" The man said.
" Huu! Up!" Just like when they carried Levi, one held the legs while the other held the arms.
After a few minutes they dissapeared into the forest.
"..." On the sea of corpses, two golden eyes silently surveyed their surroundings.
After a while of looking around, Levi finally got up.
"....My head is bleeding." Touching the back of his head, a gooey red liquid stuck to his finger before seeping back into his body.
' How did you trick them?' The demon saint suddenly asked.
" I stopped my heart and continuously released impurities from my body using my blood." Levi responded.
' You...Are you even human?' The demon saint questioned.
" Who knows? I could be a demon, but who could say for sure." Levi replied coldly.
' But how did you know that they would remove the collar from your neck?' The demon saint questioned once again.
" Why would you leave something valuable on a dead person? Only a fool would leave something with an inscription on a corpse." Levi stated coldly.
' Ha haha....Do you even know what an inscription is?' The demon saint asked with a doubting tone.
"....No." Levi was silent for a while before answering.
'...' The demon saint said nothing more.
" I want to kill the fool who stomped on my head, who even wanted to steal my ring. But i don't know how strong they are...." Levi mumbled, his eyes wandering.
"..." He suddenly had a thought.
" I'm sitting on a pile of what looks to be fresh corpses."
" The ground around the edges of this hole looks charred, so maybe they burn the bodies after a certain time?"
" I wonder how strong i would become if i absorbed the blood from all of these corpses?" A rare smile crept onto Levi's face.
He reached out and touched a body that was right beside him.
The blood slowly started to move towards Levi's hand before seeping into his body.
" More..." As Levi said this, more blood came towards him.
This went on for only a few minutes, but more than twenty bodies shrank down to only skin and bones during this time.
"....More! Ack!" He was about to absorb more, but felt a sharp pain in his head.
Levi's skin was bright red as his heart raced.
" I can't absorb anymore? No i want more! I need more! If i can't have all, then i will filter out the bad blood. I will take quality over quantity." As he said this, dark blood began pouring from every pore in his body.
As blood escaped his body, he constantly absorbed more, filtering the impurities.
" More...Hehehe! Hahaha!" He laughed crazily as the white of his eyes slowly became blood red.
He continued absorbing the blood for a good while before he found that all of the blood was absorbed, except the blood that was filtered.
" Hehehe, now i can kill those fools." Levi got up, a sparse blood mist cloaking his body.
Swish!
Two blood wings sprouted from his back as he shot into the air.
Puff!
A small black flame appeared before his forehead, followed by an almost transparent black wave of mental energy.
"Tthere." After finding his targets, he shot towards that direction at a terrifying speed.
" Ahhhh!" The shrill scream of a girl was heard over the constant sound of splashing water.
" Hey you bitch, did you just fucking hit me?" Veins bulged on the man's forehead as he looked at the half naked girl sitting on the damp ground.
" Yo-You took off my clothes a-and touched my chest...." The girl stuttered with a pale face, her hands shakily hiding her chest.
" Ahh? I also dug you up from that fucking pile of corpses and washed you in that waterfall!" The man shouted.
" T-That....." The girl paused.
The man stepped heavily as he walked toward the girl, a belly full of anger waiting to erupt.
" Wait, don't hit her. After we've had our fun, we can sell her to make some money!" The more composed man held the man's hand in an attempt to stop him.
" Let go! We can still sell her even if she has a few bruises!"
" bitches like her who think they are too good for us will only submit after a few beatings!" The man said as he walked up to the still trembling girl.
" N-No! stay away from m-" A powerful slap caused the girl's scentence to be cut short.
" Shut up you whore!" A loud slapping sound was heard as she felt a fiery sensation on her cheek.
" Humph! Stupid! Slut! Think you are better than me?! Humph!"
The man proceeded to punch the girl in her face, causing blood to flow from her nose and mouth as her lip tore slightly on one of her teeth.
" Ugh! Ple-Please sto-Ack!" He continued beating her, punching and kicking her stomach so as to not damage her face anymore.
She pleaded and cried but the man continued relentlessly, the other man watched this scene, black lines appearing on his face as his brows furrowed.
Boom!
At this moment a small shockwave caused dead leaves along with dust to fly in all directions.
" Huuh? What the fuck is it now?!" The man turned around, even after beating the girl for this long, his anger had not subsided.
" Hahaha." A bone chilling laughter was heard as a shadow began walking towards the 3.
" Wha-What the hell? Who is there? Come out!" The composed man shouted.
" Did it look like i was hiding?"
Swish!
All of the dust was immediately swept away as Levi flapped his wings.
" You.... aren't you that brat....weren't you dead??" The angry man said, cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
" Hmmm? Well aren't you having fun." Levi took a glance at the girl, while she also looked into his eyes.
" Yo-You want the girl? You can have her! Look bra- Brother! I don't want any trouble, even when i thought you were dead i still treat you gently!"
" I even put you down in the pit in one of the best spots!" The man started spouting nonsense.
" Oh?" Levi looked at the man, causing him to freeze.
" I think you are misunderstanding something here?" Levi said.
" Ah? Uh, oh, feuuuu! Brother you scared me half to death, haha!" The man sighed in relief.
The composed man secretly released a breath that he himself didn't know he was holding.
Regardless of how strong they were, seeing a dead person standing before them, and even speaking to them sent off too many alarm bells.
" After all...." Levi paused as he looked at the two men.
" I will be killing you here." His cold voice was reminiscent of a knife scraping bones.
He looked at the 3 people coldly, as the blood mist surrounding his body became slightly thicker.
