The room filled with the sounds of rats wailing. Blood, flesh, and bones splattered and clattered around the room.
Yumiko's feral atmosphere exploded as her clawed hands butchered two giant rats with a brutal attack, ripping off their heads before using their bodies as missiles to crush another smaller rat, launching them with a brutal low kick.
Ryuji felt time slow down, his axe crushing four rats, and he couldn't help but find her beautiful blue eyes, now bloodshot and dark red, captivating.
'She is so wonderful.'
Yumiko darted between the monsters on all fours, her entire body covered in blood as her tail wrapped around a kobold's neck and snapped it.
If it hadn't been clear before, his own mental faults and issues became more visible inside this moment of madness.
While Yumiko's deep laughter and mockery of the rats echoed from the monster room, Ryuji's bindings and feelings loosened—no longer needing to act like the perfect son and kind neighbour. He grasped his axe.
The whirling winds roared as he lifted it, his legs set as he focused on a group of rat corpses. He didn't care about damage or wounds; instead, he just attacked, and like a whirlwind, he jumped into a group of giant rats, their claws slashing at his body, teeth gnawing at his flesh.
The monster's weak bodies shattered as if a battering ram had hit them as the other monsters attempted to flee. But alas, they failed, and each of them became torn to shreds in his deadly blender of steel and might.
Yumiko yowled and growled, not allowing any rats to escape. Her terrifying speed and growing skills allowed her to dodge their attacks as if she were a feral beast dancing in the rain of blood.
As each of them approached her, she lashed out with her deadly claws, feet or tail, snapping their necks, tearing their throats or crushing their bodies before using them as projectiles to kill other monsters.
To Ryuji, everything had become a bloody mess. He didn't notice the burning feeling on his arms, legs and back. As his axe danced around him, everything faded from his mind. The only thing left was a primal sensation.
He didn't know why, but he wanted to protect and watch Yumiko at all costs. As if to meet her expectations, he pushed his body further, trying to match her animalistic movements and beauty. His axe was sticky with flesh as it crushed another rat before a pleasant sound.

In the corner of his eye, he noticed their attributes increasing, with both of them gaining four points.
Yumiko's head snapped up, and she looked over to him with the most bloody face while curling her lips into a twisted smile as if enduring the pleasure of levelling up.
She bit the throat of a rat—the blood squirting over her face as she peered at Ryuji with her piercing red eyes as if seeking his response.
'Lovely.'
Yumiko's smile seemed to pierce him like a spear, a tingling sensation flowing down his spine as he realised she wasn't even close to finishing her carnage.
Ryuji didn't rush to help her because another wave of rats spawned.
This room definitely seemed to kill the party that triggered it; as he reached full rage, his body aching seemed to stop mattering as he leapt towards the group of six rats that just appeared.
Ryuji held his axe to the side, tensing all his muscles while twisting his upper body. He then lunged forward and rotated like a spinning top with blades attached.
As the blood splattered the walls and the rat bodies exploded on impact, he saw Yumiko rushing towards him at incredible speed.
With a single leap, her speed allowed her to bypass two rats, and the extended blades from her wrists sliced through their necks before she clawed the body of another, her tail wrapped around a kobold's arm and twisted it before tossing them towards the two rats bleeding on the ground.
Her body wrapped around Ryuji, pressing herself against him.
The feel of her soft body touching his arms and legs caused him to release an instinctive grunt, and in response, a carnal desire flared within him while their massacre continued.
***
Ryuji leaned with his back against the cold wall, his armour almost destroyed, revealing his bloody muscular chest covered in wounds, the red bar at the top of his vision touching empty, while he breathed deeply.
It seemed the trap finally ended, with the last kobold having its neck snapped by Yumiko's muscular thighs before she smashed its head into the ground, like a wrestling move.
The room shuddered, gravel and dust flooding it before a small squire pedestal rose, with a silver chest on top bathed in the faint moonlight.
'We won...'
However, Yumiko didn't seem to care about the chest, her body almost entirely coated in blood—she stalked through the corpses, moving towards Ryuji with her eyes never leaving his body, a strange intensity inside her iris as the bloodshot sclera eased.
"Ryuji... that was fun... I've never felt so much rage and desire to kill...! What a wonderful feeling!"
"Ah... Mmmph!?"
The feral atmosphere still lingered as she leapt at him, slamming their bodies against the wall before she sealed his mouth with hers, her eyes slowly returning to their beautiful blue as the red drained like blood.
Like a woman desperate for moisture, her tongue pushed into his mouth aggressively, exploring it, the sensation forcing him to lose himself in the mixed taste of iron and Yumiko's sweet saliva.
Yumiko's sensual body pressed against his; her knee parted his legs as she moaned into his mouth, nibbling at his tongue while her hands pressed their bodies together.
She rubbed herself against him like an animal, the friction and the feel of her lips awakening Ryuji's carnal desires, a flame so powerful he no longer cared about pain or injuries.
His hands drifted to her hips and behind, where his fingers trailed along her tail, grabbing its base and causing her to shiver.
A ferocious snarl escaped her throat as she nipped at his lower lip before she smiled like a succubus.
However, Ryuji didn't let up, his fingers circling her tail, teasing it, causing her to utter the most adorable moan, before he pulled it slightly, causing her to tremble, no longer biting his lips and sucking on them instead as she groaned.
Their blood-soaked bodies brought their most primitive instincts to the surface. They no longer cared about the treasures or the door slowly opening ahead of them, and their eyes fixated on each other.
Yumiko's beautiful eyes glowed as they trailed down Ryuji's body, pausing at his chest, admiring the various wounds and muscles as she licked his bloody body as if to groom him.
"Uhm... You two?" Akari's voice almost turned inside out as she looked inside.
A room filled with blood, viscera, bones and carnage.
