He charged at the beastmen with almost inhumane speed, his rage being the fuel that was keeping him alive and spurning him on to attack and try to surmount this insurmountable wall, but he did not keep any of those thoughts in his mind and simply charged with the intent to kill… seemingly.
After reaching the beastmen he swung his knife at whichever one was closest to him and attacked, but he kept getting fended off and his attacks were ineffective, not managing to injure or even get the hyena brothers to take him seriously.
A couple of minutes later he was back on the floor, winded after another lightning-fast attack, only this one was from right in front of him, yet he was unable to avoid it.
"This one seems more interesting than the last one," one of the 3 hyena beastmen said with a huge grin on his face as he watched the man struggling to stand up even after losing so much blood from his injury.
"Why do you think he keeps standing up to attack,"
"Could it be because of that broken toy over there?" another of the beastmen asked with an intrigued smile as he pointed backward with his thumb at the woman's body that hadn't even twitched after she fell to the floor, it was obvious she had long given up the ghost.
"Doesn't matter, let's have more fun with this one and show him true despair,"
"It should be fun to gouge out his organs and play with them," the last hyena said with a blood-crazed smile on his face as he eyed the man who had managed to stand up again and poised to attack them.
"I WILL KILL YOU BASTARDS!!!" the man shouted as he began to charge at the beastmen once again for the umpteenth time.
"Should we just destroy his throat, he's loud," the beastman being attacked asked his brothers with a nonchalant tone as he dodged and then swiped at the man with his claws, just barely enough to nick his thigh and give him a light wound causing another source of leaking blood to appear on the man's body.
"Don't do that, that can kill him too fast… plus, he has to have a voice if he's going to scream in pain later…"
"…gives me goosebumps just thinking about it," another of the hyena brothers replied as he used his claws to attack the man from behind, ripping his shirt and leaving claw injuries on his back, but he made sure not to give him any deep injuries.
At this point, the three hyena beastmen were just playing with the man and sending him around to each other, but leaving a new injury on his body every time they passed him on to the next and soon enough, he was spent. He fell to his knees, unable to move another step.
His rage and desire to hurt the beastmen had kept him going for a long while but it seemed nature had finally caught up and his strong mind and desire could no longer force his almost dead body into moving another step, and so, he fell.
Tears fell from his eyes as he realized that he had reached his limit and did not even manage to leave a mark on the fuckers that had attacked his home, sent his children into hiding, and killed his wife.
"I think he ran out of steam," the first hyena brother said as he looked at the man that was now no longer able to come after them.
"Humans… so fragile,"
"They just can't keep up… and when it was finally getting fun…" the second mused disappointedly.
"We'll no matter, we can just move to the next game," the third said with an eerie glint in his eyes as he walked over to the kneeling man and raised his claw to slash him, but stopped his attack midway as he noticed the unrelenting glare in the man's eyes.
"... You… don't seem to be scared of death or pain," the hyena said as he brought his claw to the man's face and scratched it leaving a deep wound, but the man did not even flinch from the pain, and this displeased the third hyena brother.
"I can't have that…" his eyes suddenly regained their glow as if he had thought of a great idea.
"Since you don't fear death or pain… I wonder what can make you despair," he said in a smiling voice as he turned his head towards the dead woman's body across the room. The man also followed the man's sight and saw what the man was looking for, immediately his heart sank…
"You wouldn't dare," the man growled in anger.
"Oh, but I do dare," the beastman laughed and walked over to Martha's body, grabbed it by the neck, and held her up, facing her husband,
"Normally I wouldn't play with broken toys, but for you, I make an exception," he said with a smile like he was doing the man a favor.
"Hey, hurry up and do it, I want to hear his screams of despair already," one of the hyena brothers said with a look of crazy anticipation on his face.
"Ah, right… let's begin with detachment," he said with a wide grin and grabbed one of Martha's limp arms.
"No… don't do it," the tears that had stopped running from his eyes reappeared again when he saw what the hyena beastman was trying to do.
"Please!!!" he tried to plead, but…
*RIIIIPPPPP*
With a great show of exceptional strength, the beastman tore off Martha's right arm from her body.
"NOOOO!!!" the man screamed, his heart in pain.
The lack of response and the lack of spraying blood from where her arm was torn off only cemented the fact that she was dead and wouldn't feel any pain from the beastman's actions, but that information wouldn't make her husband feel any better as he watched his wife's corpse being desecrated.
The beastman brought Martha's torn-off arm to his mouth and took a bite of her flesh and chewed it,
"Tch… it's no longer warm,"
"This is why I hate broken toys," he said with distaste and threw the severed arm to the side.
'@#$%**&%@#$'
At this point, the man couldn't even think coherently anymore and whatever words appeared in his mind was gibberish and all he saw was red.
Due to this, he found a source of hidden energy within him, and he forced himself to his feet and shot off at the beastman holding his wife.
But to his dismay, the beastman was smiling widely at him with a wicked grin,
"Finally, I see the despair in your eyes," he said and threw the woman's body at the man.
The sudden appearance of his wife's body flying at him, caused the man to slow down and try to catch her body, but the next moment, the hyena arrived in front of him and cut through his wife's body and cut him across his chest with his sharp glowing claws.
*SPLURT*
Blood shot out of the new injuries on his midsection as he fell to the ground with a thud, his wife's pieces falling beside him.
This time he was down for the count.
Even though he was still alive, he knew it was not for long… but he was not prepared for the horror that was yet to befall him before his eventful death.
"Come on bros… It's time to eat," the beastman that had put him and his wife in this state called to the remaining two hyena brothers with a satisfied look on his face as he looked at his "handiwork".
"Bro, you're too good at this," one of the hyena beastmen commended as he arrived beside his brother.
"Of course… only despair-filled flesh tastes good after all," the culprit that put the man in his current state answered proudly.
Even down and out, his eyes still widened as he heard their words,
'It can't be right?' this was the thought that crossed his mind… and seconds later he was proven right as the teeth of the hyena beastmen found their way into his body and tore pieces of flesh from him.
His screams of agony filled the room as the beastmen began to eat him while he was yet alive.

I was going to put a disclaimer warning as this chapter was quite morbid and dark... but then I thought, 'Y'all did see the R-18 tag after all,'
Lol... anyway, I put in extra effort to describe this scene, so reward me with powerstones... Please
