A Week Later-
.
.
Apart from Teli, everyone else who was associated with the road project was unmarried and hence, It was very easy for Bhaskar to kill and eat them.
Bhaskar had eaten them whole without even leaving a finger, and hence a case of disappearance was registered for every one of them.
"*Yes Sir. Everyone is disappeared. There is a strange tale of a 'Vishanu' going on in this town and people are refusing to give up their land.*"
Bagga, who was on a call with Bhaskar was distressed. He had already rented the machinery for the road project and now he got this news.
"I am coming there. You just pacify the crowd over there and wait for me. And what is this 'Vishanu'?"
Bhaskar knew that Bagga would come to the town with a fuckton of money to bribe the locals to give up their land. He was not the bad guy here and was going to give a very fair offer to the locals, buying their land at 2 times the original price, but Bhaskar was already determined to kill his fat boss.
"Sir, According to the locals, 'Vishanu' is a Wolf who is the patron saint of the Jungle. He protects the Jungle from anyone who wishes to harm it or the creatures living inside of it.
Locals are even saying that I will also be taken away by Vishanu."
Bagga obviously didn't believe this nonsense and disconnected the call. He ordered his secretary to withdraw 1.5 crore rupees from the bank account and book a flight for Itanagar and arrange a driver there to take him to the remote town of Arunachal Pradesh.
Bhaskar was lying on the bed naked while an exhausted Anika was cuddling him under the blanket.
They had announced their relationship to their friends and Bhaskar moved in with Anika in her house under the heavy protest of his cousin Jana.
Jomin, who sympathised with the poor Jana then moved in with Jana and their friendship also became strong.
While Bhaskar was lying with Anika, the system screen was opened in front of him.
[Host] : Bhaskar Sharma
[Race] : [Primaeval Werewolf]
[Evolution Shards] : Spirit Shard (5/20) [Evolution Unavailable] [Upgrade Unavailable]
[Inventory] : 128 x Red Sandalwood Trees, Rs.2,88,000, Handgun, 85 Bullets.
Bhaskar ignored the money and gun he robbed from the people he killed a week ago and focused on the Spirit Shards.
He unexpectedly got these shards from killing the 7 people who were linked to the Road Project.
'So there is a chance of getting the spirit shards through killing creatures, be it human or animals, but the chance is low.'
Bhaskar lamented on the information he found out after devouring a Mithun animal native to their town and getting one shard from 4 that he killed. The drop rate of the spirit shard was very low as from the 7 people he killed, he only got 3.
"What are you thinking?" Asked Anika as she lovingly caressed his cheek with the back of her hand.
"I am thinking about the consequences of making Bagga disappear from this world." Lied Bhaskar as he kissed her lips and grabbed her bosom making her moan.
.
.
Bagga arrived in a few days while the government deputed other officers in the municipal corporation.
The police station hired private mercenaries to do an extensive carpet search of the jungle for the people who were disappeared.
"Bhaskar, Take me to meet the locals. I will deal with this myself." Said Bagga as he took a bag full of cash in his hand and got into his rental car.
Bhaskar obediently got into the car and started driving.
Although Bhaskar wanted to kill Bagga, but now that he saw so much money that Bagga was going to just give away, his eyes became tense.
Now he wanted to kill Bagga as soon as possible and take the cash from him, but that is extremely risky now.
First reason being that he would be the most likely suspect as Jomin and Jana were sent to the Municipal corporation to bring the Director in-charge to Bagga, and police would very easily find out that Bagga was last seen with Bhaskar.
While the other reason was that they were in a car and now everyone was vigilant in the streets. Even a small amount of disturbance would attract people and police would respond very quickly in this small town.
While Bhaskar was looking for opportunities to kill Bagga, Bagga himself was thinking about when to fire Bhaskar from his job.
To Bagga, Bhaskar was useless, as his job was being done by his boss. What is Bhaskar's use if the only thing he was sent to do here was done by Bagga himself?
Bhaskar suddenly took out his phone and texted Anika
{Sorry Anika, I can't eat lunch with you today due to some work.}
Anika who was treating a wounded dog noticed a text from Bhaskar and she opened her mobile to check.
'Lunch? But we never kill people at noon. Then why is he asking me to kill people in the middle of the day? And who is he asking me to kill?'
Anika was bewildered at Bhaskar's text. They always eat people or animals together and have never shared a proper meal, hence she immediately knew that Bhaskar was asking her to kill people. Ever since she turned into a Shape-shifting Direwolf, her mental processing ability has also increased exponentially and shortly she bid goodbye to the Dog and its owner with a smile and locked her small clinic from the inside.
Anika stripped naked and got out of her clinic from a window and sped towards Bhaskar.
Bhaskar had told her today in the morning that he was going to take Bagga to meet the locals hence she knew where she had to go. On top of that the size of their town was pretty small and she could literally smell Bhaskar's location.
"Arrhhhhh. Vishanuuuu…Mummyyyy!!!" A 24 year old boy shouted at the top of his lungs and attracted everyone's attention.
It was the first time they saw a wolf in person, as the last time someone saw a wolf was 73 years ago.
The legend of Vishanu was very old in their community and when people saw the Wolf running with blinding speed, some brave ones tried to chase after it.
Bhaskar soon saw Anika rushing towards him and he gestured towards her with his eyes.
Anika understood that he wanted her to kill Bagga for some reason. Bhaskar had planned to kill Bagga tonight, but since Bhaskar had ordered her to kill Bagga now, she was going to do just that.
When Bhaskar gestured to her, Bagga also saw a Wolf running towards them and he was frightened.
"What!?? Wolf!! Wolf!! HELP HEEELPPPP" He started shouting, but Anika was fast.
She never stopped and unbelievably jumped inside the car while breaking the front windshield and clutched the neck of Bagga, before breaking the back glass of the car with Bagga still in her mouth and rushed towards the forest.
Bhaskar played his part and acted as if he was traumatized by this while the bag which contained approximately one and a half crores in cash appeared in his inventory.
It all happened in less than 10 seconds and when people saw it, they ran back into their houses.
The police, who were already on high alert soon reached the place of the incident and found Bhaskar sitting beside the car, shivering.
They saw the car's broken glass while people started coming out of their houses and started to tell the Police what they saw.
"Sir…It's it's Vishanu! Didn't we tell you!? He protects the jungle, and whoever tries to trespass in his home becomes his food."
"Yes Sir. We all saw Vishanu taking away that fat man. It was so fast that we couldn't even follow him."
"He …he took that fatty towards the jungle."
People came to Bhaskar and looking at him shivering, sympathised with him.
One kind old lady put her hand on his shoulder and comforted Bhaskar.
"Son. Now you have also seen the terror of the God of the Jungle. At least now you should drop this foolish idea to make a road through the jungle."
Bhaskar looked at the kind old lady and nodded so fast that it looked like he was a bird pecking for food.
"Mr. Bhaskar. Can you tell us who the fat man was?" Asked the Police Chief with a headache.
"Sir…He..He was the owner of the company which was contracted to make the road here. We were going to meet the locals to convince them to sell their land to his company."
The police chief understood the whole matter and asked someone to tow the car to the police station, much to the heartbreak of the owner of the small car-rental company.
They didn't have any forensic team in their small town, and they were also convinced about the existence of the Wolf.
An internet cafe which was on the street where the incident took place had a C.C.T.V. camera outside of their shop, and it recorded a wolf taking away Bagga, verifying what so many eyewitnesses saw.
The police called a group of hunters from Itanagar and organised another carpet search of the jungle.
It was going to be incredibly difficult as the Jungle was humongous and there were many animals from lions to elephants residing there.
The hunters equipped themselves with Tranquillizers and Armor penetrating rounds.
.
Anika was standing with Bhaskar in her home and looking at the group of more than 50 hunters going in jeeps towards the jungle along with several police officers and other mercenaries.
"They will find nothing there." She grinned while handing Bhaskar the gold and diamond rings which were worn by Bagga.
"No. They will find their end in that forest."
Anika was startled when she heard Bhaskar saying this.
"They…They have rifles.." She protested as she hugged Bhaskar tightly.
Bhaskar understood her concern and hugged her back with a smile.
"My speed is faster than a cheetah in my normal human form. It gets doubled in my Primaeval Direwolf form….So just imagine how fast am I in my Primaevel Werewolf form?"
Bhaskar's question reminded Anika of what Bhaskar was.
Bhaskar was being humble while he said that he was faster than the cheetah in his human form, as even the cheetah would lose sight of him in seconds.
If Bhaskar really goes on a hunt in his Werewolf form, then there will be a massacre tonight.
Anika no longer persuaded and obediently went to sleep, as Bhaskar transformed into a 3 meter tall Werewolf.
.
It was night and the search party agreed to camp for the night. They lit a campfire on the middle of a small clearing and settled down.
Since they couldn't take their vehicles too deep into the Jungle, It was not possible to go back to the town for the night, and hence 10 of them were chosen to keep guard.
Suddenly, as if responding to something supernatural, the Jungle churned and a cold air blew through the tents, making everyone cold.
The people who were guarding the tents clutched their rifles with a tight grip and became vigilant.
On a very long tree beside the tents, A Golden-Purple Monster was standing on the branch. Unexpectedly, extremely sharp nails started to protrude from his claws while a feral grin was adorned on his face.
The monster's legs, which were squeezing the branch loosened, and the Monster leaned forward and started falling towards a hunter patrolling the tents.
*Ruffle*
A hunter who was taking a piss heard a bush ruffle near him, and he went to check what it was with a gun in his hand.
As he used his gun to push the bushes aside, he found the bloodied uniform of one of his comrades.
Although Bhaskar could technically eat anything to sustain, as anything he eats turns into energy one hundred percent, but he was still a sophisticated monster after all and he refuced to eat clothes.
Before the hunter's instinct could decide whether to scream or investigate, his head disappeared and his clothes were torn off, and within a few seconds, his entire body disappeared in Bhaskar's stomach.
Bhaskar was obviously the Monster and he did what all the monsters are infamous for, Manhunt.
He licked his lips which were stained with blood while his sharp teeth glistened in the moonlight.
Bhaskar jumped and clutched the long trees with his sharp claws, looking at his next target.
"Joy, Do you think we can find this wolf tomorrow?"
"Don't know brother, But the longer this search continues, the larger we can bill the police station."
Two mercenaries who were smart enough to not separate were talking about the wolf to pass their time. Unbeknownst to them, Bhaskar was already above them.
Bhaskar jumped down and while one of the mercenaries was talking about the legend of Vishanu, a claw sank in his skull, immediately taking away his life, while his friend's head disappeared in Bhaskar's mouth.
Bhaskar used his other claw to tear away the mercenarie's clothes before eating them and just like that, in less than 10 seconds, another 2 people disappeared from the face of this earth.
Soon, under Bhaskar's horror, all the 10 people who were guarding the tents disappeared from the jungle, leaving behind their torn clothes as the only proof of their existence.
The campfire which was the only source of the light in the dark jungle suddenly died down.
The moonlight was not enough to see as most of it was blocked by the long and lush trees. Some people who were still not asleep noticed this abnormality and shouted from inside the tent.
"Bohra! Why has the campfire died down so early?"
The shout woke up others and they too noticed this abnormality. They had kept many logs near the campfire and it was instructed that it should be lit till the morning.
One by one, they started to come out, but as they came out, they started to disappear.
It was going to be another bloody night but strangely there was no blood to speak of.
All the rifles and ammunitions were useless under Bhaskar's speed and soon, everyone disappeared inside of his stomach which was like a black hole, accepting everything that came in.
'So many guns…I should probably learn to use them.' Bhaskar thought as he burned all the clothes in the campfire and took away all the rifles and ammo.
'Status' he thought in his mind and immediately the status screen came.

'Hmm…I want to upgrade it but the drop rate is so bad that I might have to kill a hundred people more. Should I do it? After all, I want to go find the Astras too, and Alia Bhatt who is Isha is rather pretty. She would be a waste on Ranbir Kapoor who is Shiva in this world.

Anika who was sleeping suddenly woke up as she felt Bhaskar cupping her breasts from behind. She leaned into his back with a smile and went back to sleep in a more relaxed and happy mood.
