"SILEEEEEEEENCE YOU TURD, HOW DARE YOU ASSOCIATE ME TO THOSE SCUM?!" Taurus shouted angrily, his hand falling on his victim's head, now a zombie incapable of anything except attacking others randomly.
"Reject!" He continued, taking the chance and activating his skill as the zombie's state reverted to normal.
"You you you! How can you—" The one at the counter shouted once again, his words suddenly stopping in his throat as he witnessed Taurus' victim getting effortlessly beheaded.
"Haven't I told you to shut up?" Taurus questioned while playing with the victim's head, treating it as nothing more than a ball.
"No, please have mercy!" The speaker shouted as Taurus faced him, before bending forward and then suddenly, the head man's head accelerated toward the speaker before crashing against it as both of their heads turned into a single blood mist on sight.

"Who's next? Oh, look at you!" Taurus turned around, noticing some of the ones present seething their swords and some aiming their different weapons at him.
He made up his mind immediately, deliberately separating himself from Tenebirus before giving out his order.
"Leave this one to me, the rest are yours." Taurus pointed at the closest one to him before charging toward the man who thrust his spear in response, only for it to get caught in Taurus' hand.
"Let go you fiend!!!" The man shouted, questioning whether his eyes were playing illusions on him or if the one facing him was truly a child.
He turned his face around, checking on the rest, and as expected, he found his comrades falling to their deaths one after another.
"Sure thing!" Taurus responded before pushing the spear back toward its years, sending him flying before crashing against the tavern's walls as his weapon impaled his body.
"I'm glad you look fine, don't you agree, Tenebirus?" Taurus muttered as he marched forward leisurely, Tenebirus appearing right next to the man, ready for Taurus' next command.
Knowing what was on Taurus' head, the spirit nodded, an evil painting its face as the horrified man breathed heavily in response.
"What do you want from me?" The man asked as Tenebirus crouched on his left side while Taurus did the same thing on his left side.
"Are there any kidnapped children here?" Taurus massaged his chin, hiding his true intent before asking curiously.
"I can't! I can't answer that question, I will explode before you can hear the answer!"
"Ah, I understand… It's unfortunate and all, but it's not my problem, is it?!" Taurus spoke, his hand clenching the man's shoulder tightly as Tenebirus did the same on the other side.
The man's terrorizing screams rang through the tavern as his shoulders were slowly torn and separated from his body.
"It's okay, it's alright! It will be good soon." Taurus spoke in an assuring tone before throwing the separated pieces on the man's body.
"Reject!" Soon, Taurus activated his skill once again, rewinding the time once again as separated pieces flew before attaching themselves back to the man's body.
"You you you, you turned back time!" The man spoke, the shock drenching his face like sweat as he understood how Taurus was able to cure the corruption.
"I did," Taurus responded coldly before yanking the spear and throwing it away from the man's body.
"Unfortunately, I can't revert this one." Taurus drove his hand into the hole left on the man's chest as he screamed in pain, silently wishing the bleeding to end his life as soon as possible.
"Either way, it's not that important," Taurus spoke as he retrieved his hands, the main reason he came here finally presenting itself to him.
With the two minor experiments proving success, he gripped the man's throat before violently twisting it, ending his life immediately as the system's message appeared before his face.
[You've killed a Level 31 Human, and received 8x 175 Exp]
It surprised him with how much experience it gave him, however, he pushed the notification aside and activated Reject once again while waiting patiently for the result.
"Haaaa, I'm alive!!!" The man shouted after taking a heavy breath before realizing how fucked he was.
"You are welcome, buddy! I hope you have enjoyed your time with us." Taurus muttered before retrieving the Book of Knowledge from his inventory.
Its appearance sent a final shiver down the man's spine as Taurus spoke coldly once again.
"Hold him," The words fell into the man's ears and Tenebirus obliged as Taurus went through the pages, searching for an empty one to use as a ceil for his first prisoner since reincarnating.
"What are you doing?! Please let me go, I beg you!" The man screamed in terror as Teneberius lifted him while Taurus activated the book by feeding it with his golden mana.
"What? We are just solving the issue to spoke about earlier." Taurus responded as the book's size expanded before their eyes before putting it down on the ground, below the man.
"I lied, I lied, ple—"
"Claim my offering, oh supreme chains of restriction!!!" Taurus shouted as Tenebirus lowered the man's body, the chains bursting through the empty pages before warping themselves around the man.
He started screaming in terror as the terrifying pain wrecked him while the chains separated his soul from his body, pulling it toward the book.
The screams slowly died down as the man's body ended up nothing but a corpse, as he appeared on the large page, nothing more than a mere art.
Once done, the book's size began reverting to normal at its pace.
"Why?! I didn't deserve any of this, I beg you! Pleeeeeeeeeease!" The chained man began screaming, his voice merely nothing more than a whisper, yet a nuisance that annoyed Taurus.
"I know I know, that's all you mother fuckers say…" Taurus responded coldly before shutting the book on the man, already used to such things happening frequently during his past life.
"Let's go," Taurus spoke and Tenebirus obliged, merging with him once again and absorbing the blood soaking his clothes, making them seemingly clean once again.
He made his back after checking for hidden pathways.
Unfortunately, he found nothing, but he was content with his experiments and the new prisoner he had.
Just as expected, there was nobody to check on him during his absence since Mammot didn't notify him, leaving him to do whatever he wanted happily.
'Did everything go well?' Mammot asked upon sensing Taurus approaching the Pendragon Lands.
"Ten out of ten, all three experiments were successful, and hell, we got a new toy!' Taurus responded before sitting down next to Mammot, the Book of Knowledge appearing in his hand before placing it on the ground.
"Please let me go!" The man shouted the moment Taurus arrived on his page, only for a barely hearable whisper to escape through the book.
"Where is Abyssum keeping the remaining children?" Taurus whispered as Mammot squinted his eyes, trying to see the tiny man stuck inside the page.
"I don't know! I swear I don't know, I'm merely a low-ranked cannon fodder to do some simple jobs!" The man responded as Taurus' index finger turned golden from the intense mana density on it.
"You know," Taurus responded before slashing at the man's body, separating it in half as he screamed in terror only for the book to reconstruct the wiped part once again a moment later.
"The night is long, isn't it? Let's see if you will remain shut till the end."
