Previously on Swarming the Gods
now he has to find another host for the parasites since the human was taken away might as well resort to the bugs or beasts around the area ones that were small since he knew that the cultivators won't bother a bug or a rat that was less than the size of their hand!
Let the insanity begin!
Mind you he was only acting this way since he wanted to look cool for the audience and still felt resentful toward lunar!
-----
Well not too much but maybe enough to strangle her a little bit.
But that might not be a good idea, since she might like that!
Bane shivered at the thought before returning his focus on his infected hosts
Bane used a number of rats for this task.
when his parasite had entered the mind of the rats their senses connected together.
whatever it experiences he will too.
It will be a bit taxing on the mind but for the queen and to vent a little thanks to Lunar and her tricks.
It was needed to help him calm down a bit.
but back to the things at hand, thanks to the damage and how small the rats were, they easily snuck into the sect.
the first targets are the strongest ones that can be infected which happened to be anyone that was a realm higher than bane meaning true profound realm disciples.
it had been a few nights since his 'explosive' debut but first, to test using one of the hydralisks as bait he wanted to see if the older men that excluded such power and pressure were waiting in hiding.
With some of its innate traits being similar to a snake, the Hydralisk was cunning enough to accomplish Bane's intentions
So, Bane, had it move around like an assassin at this very night as no moon was shining above and the torches the sect had set up flickered unknowingly made it harder on the guards to see the moving shadow.
The hydralisk moved like a snake crawling on the ground swiftly and silently.
As for what bane was doing he was sharing his senses with the parasitized rat all, while holding a fluffball of a scared rabbit as he slid his large fingers through the fur enjoying the soft sensation it had.
Yes~ so fluffy~
thanks to being a zerg, they tend to have a hard carapace covering them like armor!
but thanks to changing into a human-like form and touching a rabbit he intended on eating at first he found himself the second thing he enjoys other than trampling his enemies...pure softness.
Bane sucks at smiling yet touching this creature's was like second heaven to him but it still can't top Thane's hugs as you'd be sandwiched by those huge soft knockers and you'd have a blissful smile while having a thumb up.
Damnit!
Bane thought to himself that 'talk' with Lunar about the deal is distracting him!
His strength was something the magical rabbit couldn't handle, so it let out a yelp of pain from nearly getting squished between his large hands that felt like a rock despite its best efforts to break free, which work up bane from his stupor.
Whoops, he nearly squashed the widdle wabbit, the next thing was like watching a big bad wolf coax a little bunny, well in this case a big bad zerg that was smiling unnaturally wide in his human form while blushing in contentment.
"there there, just let me fluff you a little more then I'll let you live~"
That was NOT very convincing with the jagged teeth that were getting too close for comfort for the rabbit that passed out from fear shortly after this!
Well back to the hydralisk that was sneaking into the sect via 'snake' style! (A/N reference MGS except for the killing part)
The hydralisk managed to scale the wall and slay some of the humans without being noticed.
For powerful fogies, they really suck at detecting intruders, why not take full advantage of the life jades he heard so much about from blivet's report and connect it with the guards rather than just your Geniuses?
Ha~ these humans have the resources yet they don't take full advantage of them?
The next place his minion sneaked towards was a small hut that had two humans having a good time as they faced the wall the sound of sultry gasping could be heard as the man that mounted the woman was thrusting relentlessly due to the fear of death from the time a few nights back.
Then again, he wasn't the only one that was doing this.
For the past few days, many of the man's generation has been trying to leave something behind they all feared death, especially one where the enemy was silent and unseen by any of them.
He was only 18 years old and was a mid-stage nascent profound realm cultivator that was considered a good seed among them, the woman he was having a good time with, was one of the women they had taken from one of the nearby villages a long time ago.
She was in her mid-twenties and was forced to have seven kids so far, and more than half of them died due to the sick plays the men had made her go into labor but continued to rape her ceaselessly.
Her mind was mostly broken from the repeated loss, and the surviving kids were now future slaves of this sect.
Oh~, how she yearned for death yet due to the threats she received and the lives of her surviving children on the balance she was unable to take her own life.
The sound of a low growl caught her attention a large abomination with a large head had emerged from the shadows at the corner of her eye, those scythes it had for arms made her think.
"has my time come finally?"
Will I be released from this torture?
What about my kids?
Will they be alright?
The vulgar voice of the man thrusting into her pulled her from those thoughts.
"here tighten up now! you bitch! I am almos-"
*Shwink shwink* was the sound he had heard before seeing a blade emerge from his chest and through his abdomen, his blood sprayed on the girl he was on and the walls in front of him.
Before he could let out as much as a peep, a large maw took hold of his face and then chomped down, ripping half of his head off, causing more of his blood and something else to spurt out towards the ceiling as his body fell backward.
It was messy, but the Hydralisk made sure that no noise escaped this little hut!
It was about to finish off the woman too, but she gave off a strange feeling as her eyes gleamed, causing it to stop midway into its attack.
Something about her made it unable to decide on continuing or just leaving for some reason.
The woman had no reaction to the bloody scene in fact she was more focused on the awe-inspiring beauty of death and what it had done for her.
She reached out to the harbinger of death as the body of her assailant fell to the ground with a muffled thud.
"Oh, the harbinger of death! You may do as you please with my everything but please I beg of you save my children!"
She begged this creature that looked at her in confusion as if it didn't know what the hell she was talking about!
The hydralisk was used to its enemies looking at it in fear and trying to fight back somehow, so this woman's words and actions threw it for a loop.
It was gathering the dead bodies to be used as nutrients for his leader to create more bombs.
Hell, this was supposed to be a simple job!
It didn't sign up for this!
Having little choice in the matter, it decided to contact its leader since there was a weird human here willing to help, holding back the urge to simply kill her from how crazy she was acting.
"Ah ok tell her to wait a few minutes then some of the men I have controlled will come to escort her and her kids"
The hydralisk was troubled by this how the hell was it supposed to communicate with a human!?
Only to see the woman nod her head and respond.
"I understand!"
"I will wait here until your men arrive!"
uh...
While this was somewhat of a surprise, the hydralisk was still relieved as it specialized in killing not in talking.
Thus it burrowed and then moved to the next target.
Not before looking at the strange woman one more time, then finally moved to its next target.
The next one it reached happened to be one of the geniuses that had been borne from one of the women they kidnapped throughout their time using her as a toy and entertainment the woman died years ago.
The young man didn't know the truth of his mother's death or about his heritage he was simply a sword cultivator that protected the sect blindly.
He sat in the middle of the room with his sword laid on his right side wearing the outer disciple robes meditating in silence until the sound of something brushing against the dirt.
He opened his eyes waiting for the source of the thick bloodlust to make its move.
The monster in the shadows was patient as it noticed that the man, which could feel before it was about to attack, was tense and slowly reaching for the blade at his side.
Since it was noticed the hydralisk gave a low growl before charging forward.
Clang! tink! Clang!
The sound of the sword hitting the bladed arms and one attempt to stab into the hard surface of the carapace.
It retreated a bit to savor something his race loved the most, a good fight!
The zerg was hungry for battle as the long tail wagged from side to side in excitement, its frame stood taller to make full use of all of its 'tools' for this fight.
The man wanted to say something however, the speed of the monster increased by a notch forcing him to focus because if he didn't, that would be the end!
The tail of the hydralisk stabbed forth, adding to the struggle of the man he was only an early stage nascent profound realm cultivator fighting against a creature that was nearly two stages higher than him.
The more he struggled to better he was getting with the sword however the monster too was getting better thanks to his reaction and skill the hydralisk was ordered to gather some data from him so that in the future, swordsmen will find even the weakest ones if their hive, a hard bone to chew!
He may not be a master, but he was still a good swordsman so the zerg decided to use him to make future countermeasures as they drained him of his worth as much as possible...
