Mark was feeling really good right now, as his rampant craving was satisfied and he was sleepy as if a good rest was all that he needed to rid himself of any of the daily problems~
But that little feeling was destroyed when something had awoken him, something painful as the sound of metal screeching reached his ears!
Mark found himself in some kind of building, a castle of some kind?
bodies of humans littered the area around him and his back seemed a bit heavier than usual.
but back to the main point, there were three people standing in front of him, one was a dandy looking old man with wrinkles on his face that was also a battle cleric judging from the clothes and armor with symbols of the cross as a white light enveloped the tattered plate armored man donning a shield and longsword as he struggling against Mark's arm that was holding the man in place by the kite shield.
The person between them was a woman that was using some kind of whip-blade that glowed ominously, wearing tight leather armor that emphasized her curves with multiple spots left uncovered exposing her olive skin, as she wore a helmet that hid her face but still left a small amount of red hair peeking out as her assets jiggled from flicking the whip at Mark again.
A loud snapping sound was heard as the whip struck Mark's shoulder leaving a dent breaking him from his stupor as the woman made her commands.
"Mike control the aggro! Julius make sure our tank doesn't fall or we'll all die at this rate! Timmy you fucking asshole stop cowering over there and help us!"
Mark turned towards the direction of where she was looking to see a grown man crying like a child as he cried out even more upon facing him with a 'HHHIIIIIII" as snot and tears dripped from his face before a yellow patch took shape down his pants then puddle formed under him.
yeah, he was scared shitless.
While the culprit was trying to remember everything, his movements changed completely compared to the instinctive way of fighting to a more complex before sending the tank rolling across the ground with a backhand as Mike crashed into the nearby wall, while Julius was trying to keep up with the healing.
But Mark dashed forward as a whip came towards him to which he met with his tail entangling them together as the whip user was trying to pull him away from the healer to which... she failed miserably!
Mark's increased strength wasn't something a woman without a strength skill can cope with thus all that she could do was watch the inevitable but to her surprise, the monster didn't take a bite or impale Julius, it delivered a strong kick, though, to the chest causing the man to fly like a cannonball into the nearby wall.
Then the monster loomed over her as it made a growl full of hunger that sent shivers down her spine and seeing the rows of teeth only intensified the feeling!
But Mike, her loyal butler of her fallen family, bellowed out despite his injuries as he struggled back to his feet using the shield.
"FOUL BEAST, GET AWAY FROM LADY RIA!"
But the monster did odd for Ria to see as the formerly wide-open maw tilted then formed a smirk before a cold voice questioned the beaten man.
"Oh? and why the hell should I listen to you, ~HUMAN?~"
How he worded 'human' was quite disturbing for the listeners but it was still quite a shock for them to hear a monster talk as they only heard of such monsters from fairy tales and of myths that pertained to a certain kind of being that brought terror and destruction upon their lands.
Monster lords!
Mike was the first to collect himself as his words were filled with resolve.
"Milady escape from here now as I hold this monster back!"
[{TAUNT}]
Mike wanted to get the monster's full attention to somehow save his young mistress' life as he was prepared to give his all, however, the armored man realized something that made all of his plans to have a glorious death go down the drain.
The skill he just used... it didn't work this time...!
Mark was back to his normal self as his thoughts worked properly now a simple diverting skill wouldn't work on him as he is now, at first, his words were meant to tease them as he already had gotten what he wanted from them, albeit, unintentionally~
He was actually planning on leaving them alive since there was no reason for him to kill them anymore not that he had that intention, at first, since they attacked 'him' first, he returned the favor, it was fucked up but the bigger fist was always right.
Ria the woman that was facing him at this moment was trying so hard to stand her ground and struggled to hold her dignity as a noble even if she was a fallen one.
As she could smell the bloody breath and nearly burned her exposed skin from how hot it was, and seeing that the skill had failed this woman held her head high as she awaited her impending doom with her eyes closed... to which oddly enough didn't arrive as the sound of a gasp from mike and the sound of heavy steps rumbled by her as it slowly disappeared away.
She opened her eyes to see that the monster that they nearly died to had suddenly disappeared before she slumped down to the ground before laughing a bit in relief that was quickly followed by her sobbing as Ria nearly died and nearly lost everything that she held dear!
Her stifled cries echoed out as Julius came to and healed himself before rushing over to Mike to heal the old man was near death's door.
A few hours went by as Ria was sitting on a large chair within the fort hearing the reports from Mike while Julius was tending to the damage done to him as the damage done by Mark to their group was devastating, the formerly 300 bandits that resided within the fort was reduced to 111 with varied injuries, but Ria wasn't too worried as the ones that did die weren't the men that were loyal to her family.
But it was still difficult to control and supervise the fort with the number of men and women she had under her, life was messing with her again.
She couldn't help but mutter under her tired breath.
"Can this day get any worse?"(A/N >.>)
She sighed as Mike that was reporting the other problems suddenly went on guard as the sound of clapping could be heard above her as a figure was riding the chandelier and the voice that came after was something that she was all so familiar with, as this man used her family and friends as incubators.
He called himself 'Wasp'!
"TSK TSK TSK to think that I'd get quite the harvest today by killing more people that stand in the way of LORD DAMIEN!"
At first, Wasp was imitating the way his master clicked his tongue as if poking at old wounds but at the end of his words exposed the cruel and maddening grin as he thought of ways to thoroughly punish them and grow the numbers of his young!
As there was a good number of women within the fort.
And the healthier the incubators were the bigger and stronger his children would be!
Mike stood tall with his shield, before giving a quick nod to Julius who had a bitter look on his face, the cleric moved with a swift motion as he picked up Ria who was surprised by the sudden turn of events before screaming out.
"NO STOP THIS! NOOO MIKE, DON'T LEAVE ME! NNNOOOO!!!!"
She was all so familiar with this scene as it had happened before as Julius stepped into a magic circle as the woman he carried cried out bitterly to stop this but Julius was familiar with just how powerful the man was and how Wasp was gradually becoming more meticulous with his duty.
So the cleric said his last words to his friend that he fought side by side throughout the years.
"Sorry dear friend it looks like it isn't your time yet... take care of the young mistress will you?"
Mike who was ready for death was surprised before turning to his friend in shock as Julius cast a spell called 'transfer' to which he switched with the Armored man as the teleportation array activated While Julius had a peaceful smile before a blade-like hand stabbed through his chest as his next and final delayed spell activated as there were no obstacles that stood in his way to use it Aka his dear friend and mistress.
Wasp noticed the situation as he clicked his tongue annoyance he had hoped to escape, however, the cleric held the arm that was in his chest like a vice.
As he said with the same peaceful smile of his.
"While this spell may not kill you but at least it can cause some lasting damage!"
Wasp held a crazed grin on his face as the spell formed as he couldn't help but retort.
"HEY, HEY, YOU DAMNED CLERIC, THAT'S A FIFTH-TIER SPELL THAT WILL DO MORE THAN DAMAGE ME!"
The cleric coughed a bit before he replied with the same yet disturbing smile as some blood dripped from the edge of his lips.
"well that's good then there will be one less scum in the world!"
The spell activated as the words were carved into the ground under them as a bright white light enveloped them.
[{LAST JUDGEMENT}]
The old man poured his all into this as he wanted some revenge too as his wife and daughter became victims of the sick bastard.
Wasp yelled out as his other blade-like arm stabbed into Julius before finally the whole fort was covered in white light.
"DAAAAMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNN YYYYYOOOOOOO-"
