Chapter 7 - Slavery

POV:Megami

"Help! I Don't Wanna go! I Don't Wanna be A Slave! Help-Mhphmphmm!" a feminine voice came from the right.

I looked in the direction of the voice and was filled with an overhaul of rage.

There was a young lizard Demi-human woman who was being taken by a group of five guys. one human, two male mermen, one female merman, one Werewolf.

Normally I wouldn't have been enraged by this but there was a werewolf in the group. That was all I needed to see them as an enemy. Without thinking I was already next to the woman with strange symbols replacing my pupils; My right eye shown a deep blood red color and my left eye shown a vibrant red with both having different symbols.

One meant hatred.

The other meant bloodthirst.

POV: Ayumu Maou

"What is going on here?" Megami asked in a eerie tone that made my blood run cold.

I had never seen her like this since we met. What could have caused her to suddenly be like this? How much power does she wield to have me, a former Demon Lord feel this much fear?

I watched her with great curiosity and fear as I watched to see what she would do next but, I would never have been ready for what I saw. She held her arm towards the werewolf with a wicked expression of joyous and bloodlust.

"Life Drain." She said with a wicked smile and pleasure in her voice. The moment she said those words the werewolf's body shriveled up and he screamed in agony.

Her pupils changed into a different symbol and the color turned soft red glow as she looked at the rest of the group. "Take me to your boss." She ordered them. 

'I think she's Irritated? Angry? Hard to tell.' I thought

"M-miss we can't jus-" said one of the mermen among the group but was interrupted by Megami's deathly stare.

"Either you bring me to your boss or I will cook all your bodies into a 4-star dish that I'm starting to crave the more we waste out here." Megami licked her lips.

Everyone who was the felt a shiver in their spine as they could tell she wasn't joking.

"We have to get some seaweed, sticky rice, some spices..."

"Just this way my lady! We will take you there!" The sensible one of the group said with haste. Megami smiled as she walked to me. She took my arm and pressed her chest on it.

'Why is it so soft... I mean it's not like I mind. It doesn't harm anyone so it should be alright. Now that I have a clear head what happened to the body? Did it turn to dust or something? Ah whatever. Let's jus-... Why is she acting like this? She is rubbing her face and chest on my arm! I can't tell her to stop because she is so into it.'

'This is going to be a long walk.'

We stood in front of a big building complex, the air had filthy and bloody smell to it that gave a clear indication of what it was.

Slavery.

Slavery was legal in some countries but most have deemed it illegal. Phel was one of the few Kingdoms that have slavery but in recent years the slave business has gone down and would likely be gone in a few more years. I know however that Megami has no knowledge of that. Even if she did, she would move even faster.

'What a troublesome human.' I thought with a wry smile.

'at least some of this kingdoms problems are being solved.'

When we entered we saw many cages with a variety of beast kin and a small bit of humans. All of them were ragged and some had scars as well. It was clear that they weren't treated well.

We walked passed the cages and entered a clean office with a male meifwa (also known as a cat person) sitting behind a fancy desk on a black chair. There was a coat rack with a brown long coat in the corner of the room.

"Who are you?" The Meifwa boss asked

"How many other places are there and where are they. Tell me about the hidden facilities as well. Give me all the people that have slaves and don't miss any or you and all those you have laid eyes on throughout your life, even if it was just a glimpse will die due to a heart attack and their greatest fear." Megami ordered with her eyes various glowing flashing colors.

I was about to tell her he wouldn't say anything but to my surprise he answered in order of question.

After he was done answering, Megami ordered the guy to put it down on a few sheets of paper. He did as he was told while I had my jaw drop in shock.

"H-How Is that even possible" the guys who led us here wondered.

"It's a spell my brother taught me after he became one of the bosses of the Assassination Guild that operates in both dimensions Called Fallen. The spell is called 'Possession and Order' I believe he said the name was. By the way, I am soon going to have taken over every slavery business in this continent. I will take all of you in and make my own organisation that will not get me angry on sight." Megami said with a smile.

Soon after the boss was done with writing everything down she looked it over casually. The group that led us here was kneeling down near the door, shaking vigorously towards their new boss.

"Town of Killer Clones." Megami said casually but nothing happened. This made everyone in the room wonder if she was crazy.

"Copy and Paste - Astral Clone: Town of intent and instruction, all are the same but you're your own individual the moment you're summoned to the Center. When your job is done you may go home for it will be the end of your day." Megami Chanted an unknown spell which mesmerized everyone present.

"That should be good enough for the Killer Clones not to go on a rampage and kill indiscriminately." Megami said with a sigh of relief.

"H-how?" Ayu said in disbelief. Megami folded the documents and put them in her pocket. Megami walked over and rested her head on Ayumu's breasts. "I'm going to faint soon because of too little ephre... let me enjoy... for a sec..." Megami said as she fainted in Ayumu's arms.

Ayumu looked at Megami's sleeping face and fell into deep thought.

"Why... Do you make my life so much more happy but also make me feel so confused? Your such a strange person." Ayumu whispered quietly under her breath so no one heard. Anyone who knew Ayumu would be shocked to see this scene because at that moment Ayumu had an unconscious genuine smile as she looked at Megami who was in her arms.

(*A/N: Ephre ma or Ephre is a liquid that flows through the entire body of every living thing. Beings are able to produce it in their body similar to how we make blood. It exists in all types of states of matter as it flows through everything in the world of Zhel and throughout their entire universe. It is kinda like mana or qi but in physical form and you have to be born with it or your body will reject it. There are also ways to train to be able to use Ephre if you aren't born with it.)
