Sel sighed as he watched her fade away, taking a moment to clam down before moving. He walked away from the graveyard, slowly moving towards the barrier he'd set up around it in the dark woods.
A hole in the barrier naturally opened up for him as he went past.
'Hmm?' he tilted his head slightly in a certain direction before walking towards it.
.....
Eri struggled to maintain her breath as she ran through the thich undergrowth, the branches of the shrubbery whipped at her face and the thorns scratched her legs, leaving deep scars. But she still ran.
Her ears twitched slightly at the voices cursing behind her but she still ran forward, pushing as much out of her frail body as she could.
.....
Sel looked at the little girl who'd just bumped into him. Her body easily fell back as she struggled to balance the orb wrapped in cloth in her hand before raising her head.
.....
' Oh no, no no no no!!!' Eri screamed in her head as she stared into the darkness before her, even though nothing registered in her mind, she knew she'd just bumped into someone, and in doing so, just lost her chance of escape.
As if taunting her for her failures the sounds of people chasing her grew louder. She bit her lip before getting up and holding the orb like object towards the person in front of her in a bow.
" Umm mister ? I'm sorry but you might be in danger if you ontinie staying here. There are some bad guys after me, I know it's impolite of me to ask you of this but as you escape could you maybe take Momo away for me?"
.....
Sel froze. The girl in front of him currently only had a rag covering, if it could even be said to be covering, her little body. Her legs had scratches all the way to her lower thighs.
Her arms were bruised and her body could barely stand. But worst of all, were her eyes.
They were covered in a blindfold. Also made out of a rug, and flowing through the thin fabric was dried blood.
She'd been blinded.
He looked at the orb but couldn't sense any presence of life, whoever this Momo was, was most likely dead.
Before he realized it, he had already squatted down to her level and was watching her moves, from the way her shoulders trembled continuously with time as if she'd resigned to her fate to the muffled cries she held back.
In the next moment though noises shattered the silence as the chasers finally caught up.
Sel slowly raised his head.
" You little bitch you think you can just run and get away with it ??! Huh!!!? Well fuck you I don't care anymore if we bring you back as damaged goods, the lolicons will still buy you anywa..."
* Crack *The sound made when a dog crunches a bome was heard as his head neck and spine were altogether forcibly pried from his torso.
" Even after everything I did there are still imbicels like you out there, vultures taking advantage of the peace to prey on the weak."
The words sent shivers down the spines of the remaining slave traders who each moved a step back.
Eri, stunned, looked behind her in the direction of the voice, struggling to comprehend how he'd moved without her hearing a thing.
"Sleep, child." Sel said, and in the next moment Eri closed her eyes as if enchanted and collapsed onto the folliage.
Sel quietly turned to face the remaining three aggressors after making Eri sleep before breathing out, with it an aura of death slowly permeated the surrounding.
" A person close to me died today, " he took a step forward.
" B b b bbb boss this has nothing to do t.. w...with us.... I promise we don't even know...." Number three's words stopped abruptly as he received a glance from Sel. In the next moment, he froze, before falling to his knees, first the muscles in his body squirmed before tearing out his skin, his organs moved outside, staining his shirt with bloos as every other part of his body followed suit, except his brain and eyes.
In the next moment, he wailed, his cries piercing through the forest. He'd been turned inside out!
Number two saw this and immediately started running, prompting black vines to shoot from underneath and directly drill into his body, slowly moving through like a current.
"... she'd been hanging on for so long, her pain caused by people like you, " Sel moved towards number four, who'd managed to recognize him and was currently kneeling face down not even daring to raise his head, his actions going unnoticed by the others.
"Today you're going to take the place of the prince and bear my grief,.so..."he said as he moved his hand in a circle, a portal opening above number four, and with it, lava slowly poured onto his back, instantly burning through the clothes and armour and reaching his skin. His body shuddered as he withstood the pain, not daring to say a thing as he just let the hot liquid porur down his body.
" Try not to die too quickly for me, okay?"
Sel said as he moved away towards where Eri was.
