Chapter 22 - Desperate help.

The screams of the elves kept resounding inside the cave.

One by one, they were all pinned to the ground, Lyra stood, unable to do a single thing to help them.

"Get your hands off me!" Isla shouted, moving back from the male elf closing up to her.

"Don't be stubborn, do as the alpha says!" The male elf boosted forward before grabbing her arm.

In the blink of an eye -

Slash -!

Part of the Blop's body liquified, at the end, a

sharp blade as it whipped at the arm of the male elf.

Everyone paused. Turning their attention to the blood that was sprayed into the air.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! My blooooooood!!!".

The male elf collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony as he gripped the flesh opening on his arm while his severed hand was on the floor, soaked in blood.

"Here we go."

Lumin leaped from Isla's hand and landed on the ground, just a few inches from the male elf who was still screaming.

Silence took over, what had just happened? One of their own was screaming… his hand was sliced off? How? There's a moving slime on the ground? Are they under attack?

Suddenly -

"What the hell did you do you bitch?!" Raki shouted as he pointed at Isla.

"I…I didn't do…" Isla could barely complete her sentence, her gaze shifted back to the Blop, his words, "I will protect you." Resonated in her head.

"And what the hell is that thing?!" Raki looked at the Blop that was crawling towards him.

"The pet?" Terra whispered to herself, still pinned to the ground.

"Heyo, my dude, what's up?" Lumin waved his tentacles at Raki.

Raki, frightened to see a talking slime like beast, stepped back again, "Fucking hell is that? You guys get rid of it!!!".

"R…ight!".

One of the male elves holding down Ruxy, stood up and began to walk towards Lumin.

"Look man, you really don't wanna touch me, it's pure darkness right after, i'm trying to help you here, think about it, a talking Blop, definitely not normal…hey…"

The male elf obviously didn't listen, he was afraid but still, the Blop looked so much smaller, and weaker.

The moment his hand touched the Blop's body, he exploded, blood and guts scattering everywhere.

The fear of the elves who witnessed this began to increase. One of their own, just died right in front of them…without any cause or action.

"W…hat just happened?" Raki blurted out.

"I tried to warn him, touching something that has a continuous amount of mana running through it can damage one's body you know? His body simply couldn't handle the mana inside him I guess, poor guy… anyway…"

Lumin looked at the female elves.

"I'm not evil or anything, but I'm willing to give you all a choice, right here and now, you can decide, do you want this small cute monster to help you get rid of the male elves… or should it walk away and never return… make your choice."

The woman's eyes glared.

This monster who had just managed to damage not only one, but two of their males was asking if it should help them.

Isla immediately stole herself, she went to her knees, her head bowed, "Please! Mr Blop Sir! I was wrong earlier, I do want to live freely, I do want a life away from this stupid rule, please, help me!".

"What nonsense are you saying bitch?! You would betray your own kind?!" Raki shouted, gesturing his anger with his hand.

Isla, with her head still bowed, responded, "I never looked at you as family, I simply feared you, that is all".

Raki's face was twisted in anger, two things were certain, this Blop was obviously not something he wanted to mess with, he needed a way for them to not accept its offer and secondly… the Blop could kill him at any moment, and yet, it didn't.

Gbam-!

Raki's fear increased even more when he watched Lyra fall to her knees, and also bowed her head to something she had no knowledge about.

"On behalf of my family, I beg you, to please help us."

The remaining female elves, those who were pinned, and those who were not, all bowed their heads also.

'Bruh is finished.' Lumin began to bounce on the ground.

"After all I've done for you! This is how you repay me?! Uhn?! Lyra!!!!" Raki pressed his back against the wall, "Go..on! Don't just stand there, kill the slime!!!".

The male elves moved from the female and began to move closer to the Lumin.

'How many males?'.

[7 male elves, excluding the leader.]

'Yesh, I'm not harming the leader, I'll let the female elves get the pleasure of doing that… but what I will do…'

Booosh!

Lumin charged forward, a scythe shaped weapon made from inside grew from his body. He moved so far, no one could tell where he was, until he stroke-

The upper part of the elves' body slipped to the ground, blood dripping as the lower body stood on its feet.

Almost instantly, another male elf dropped to the ground, as an ice bullet blew up his head.

One by one, the male elves were dying and none of them could catch a glimpse of the Blop.

While this was happening, the female elves kept their heads bowed, even if blood sprayed on them, or a body part landed on their bodies, they would remain still, their head glued to the ground.

After a good minute, all the seven of the male elves were dead, Lumin giving neither of them a chance to beg for their lives.

The cave was now covered in blood and guts, the smell of blood overshadowed the wet scent that had once occupied the cave.

'Sigh, Bot lobbies.' Lumin whispered to himself.

Looking to the side, he noticed Raki had managed to run away.

"Y..you guys can raise you heads now, I've taken care of them for you. Although your ..leader escaped, but my partner is close by, she will bring him here so you can kill him yourself."

Lumin uttered as he crawled towards Lyra. He had already sensed Alpha's presence earlier, which would only mean she was nearby.

"Y…your partner?" Isla questioned.

"Oh yeah, she'll be here any…"

Splushh-!

Raki's head rolled in.

The female elves and Lumin looked at it for a while, until she walked in.

Alpha.

Dragging Raki's headless body, she stood at the entrance, a smile on her face the moment she spotted Lumin.

"My lord!" She beamed with joy, "I've been looking everywhere for you! Look, look, I captured this guy for you!".

'She freaking killed him!!!'
