Chereads / The Reaper of Souls / Chapter 58 - Qwulvis Mother

Chapter 58 - Qwulvis Mother

Zero was about to roll his eyes at the absurd price of the information, when he suddenly realized why the information might be expensive. 'If you can farm the babies from that creature, you could have a sort of monopoly on ingredients!' Zero turned to face the two and spoke. "Change of plans, I am not going to kill that creature." Zero explained the new message he wanted Quin to give to Gem, the leader of the group. Once he nodded, Zero simply walked over to the stairs and brought the single Qwulvis he had the two bring down for him.

"Is there a reason you made us drag this beast down the stairs... alive?" Zero laughed, "Of course, open its mouth." The two looked at each other before simply listening to his command. Once they did, Zero hovered above the creature until it suddenly shot its tongue out. Zero jumped out of the way before grabbing the tongues base before it could reroll itself back into its mouth. "I am going to lift this creature into the air, I want you to suspend it in the air by its tongue from one of these beams." Quin felt questioning him was useless, so he simply did as he said, wrapping the tongue around a pipe before tying it so it would stay.

Zero let go of the creature, and it lightly swung in the air, like a punching bag with an enormous eye. "Perfect, now, lets go get that giants attention, shall we?" Zero made the two jump down first before he did. The three arrived at the end of the alley and peaked around the corner, finding the giant Qwulvis was standing completely still Infront of the mall. "Quin, take these two guns. Now run to the school and give them the message."

Quin took the guns before placing them into his hands before taking off out of the alley and towards the high school, Josh directly on his tail. The large Qwulvis slowly turned, its large eye focusing in on the two running. Just before it opened its mouth, Zero stepped out and shouted at it. The creature's focus was pulled from the two retreating figures to rest on Zero, however it only held it for a small moment before starting to shift over to the other too.

Without pause, Zero reached into his Shop window before pulling out one of the Trash Grade Qwulvis eyes, the 1,000 souls being taking out as he pulled it out.

Item has been taken out of the Host's Local Shop. <1000> souls have been paid to take the item out. Host currently has <30428> souls.

Zero grabbed the large eye and dangled it from the tendon on the back of it as he shouted. "Hey momma Qwulvis! Look at your child, Its looking at you!" The mother Qwulvis' eye turned and focused in on the eye in Zero's hand, its entire body starting to violently shake. Zero put the eye back into the Shop before shrugging. "Thanks for the ingredients." His words seemed to be the last straw, as it suddenly stopped shaking before a large surge of green liquid came flowing out of its backside onto the ground.

Zero looked on with interest as he saw something move within the green liquid before multiple Qwulvises stood, all of their eyes locked on Zero. 'Bingo.' The mother didn't move as it simply watched its newly born young ones all line up before opening their mouths and firing all their tongues in syce. Zero jumped back into the alley, the sound of multiple impacts sounding while the wall he was against violently shook.

Once the impacts stopped, Zero once stepped out to find the kids were retracting their tongues and the mother was opening its own mouth. "Not happening." Zero activated , targeting the mother. Zero appeared above the mother in the air, however he had no intention of severely hurting it. He dropped down before slamming the dagger into the creatures back, instantly earning a scream from the mother.

Using the dagger as a hand hold, Zero lifted himself up so he was now standing on top of the creature. "The view is rather nice up here. Mind if I stay?" The mother started to rapidly sway, causing Zero to figure it didn't want him to stay. 'That should have been enough time for them to make it out of these creatures ranges.' Zero sighed before speaking again. "I had my fun, I'm going back into the building behind you."

Zero targeted one of the Qwulvis children that had wondered nearest the alley way before once again activating . Zero appeared above the creature only for it to turn around and look up at him. Zero brought the blade down, the dagger imbedding itself in the creatures eye. Without pause, Zero grabbed hold of the dagger and jumped backwards before twisting in air so he was facing the alley.

Zero spotted the Qwulvis they had tied up with a smile before activating . The ground visibly shook as a large tongue crashed into the Qwulvis that he had been at a second ago. Zero couldn't help but smirk as his idea worked. Without pause, Zero yanked the dagger out of the hanging Qwulvis' eye before running back to the stairs.

Zero heard a loud scream echo through the stairway as he made his way up to the fourth floor, however the omission of anger simply pleased him more then scared him. Zero had already felt that all of his mana channels had been breaking every time he used Back Stab, however if he had to guess, he would say it broke about 5% of his total channels on each successful activation.

Zero made it back across the fourth floor bridge before he suddenly remembered he hadn't killed the smart Qwulvis still residing on the floor. Zero spent three hours, if the timepiece was accurate, searching for the Qwulvis before he finally found it. Zero quickly and easily killed it with a Seeker Beam before grabbing its rather dense shade before moving back towards the third floor stairs.
