Chapter 77 77 - The Love For Carnage[Violence And Extreme Gore]
Conjuring up two blades of ice protruding from his hands, Haruki leapt towards his first confused victim. Shaken and confused as to what was happening, and why one of their own was attacking them, the minotaurs stood there shocked for a moment before getting back to their senses.
Right as the ice blade was about to pierce through the throat of another Minotaur, the monster pulled up his axe and deflected the hit by using its flat side as a shield. However, that wasn\'t the end of Haruki\'s attack. With one of the blades deflected, Haruki was left hunched over and so drawing his other hand back he flung his fist upward and pierced through the monster\'s belly.
Holding its body up high with a single fist, Haruki glanced around at the other four watching him in fright. Showered with blood and guts from the monster, he could still hear the scream from the struggling beast.
"Who\'s next? I only need one or two of you alive," he muttered, glaring at them with bloodlust in his eyes.
Pushing the body off of him, he used the spell \'dark light\' to consume the monster\'s body while he was still alive. As the cacophony of his screams and the rampant flailing of his body shook the whole place, Haruki began moving towards the rest.
"Clone: Minotaurs," springing out two clones of himself as Minotaurs, he decided to split up some of the work. "Capture the two on the back, I\'ll handle the rest."
With that said, he leaped forward once again, however, this time instead of using his blade he had another experiment to try. Right as the terrified monster clutched its hand around the axe and swung it over its enemy\'s head, Haruki turned into his shadow before appearing right behind him.
"Let\'s see if this works," petrifying the monster with those words, Haruki stabbed him with the blades but stopped before his hand went right through. "Eat him from the inside, demonic spies!"
"AGTHHHHTHH!" Cried the beasts as hundreds of spies began tearing him from the inside. Crawling into his organs, they kept eating them away one after the other.
"HAAA!" Trying to take advantage of the situation, the last of the two tried to land a hit on Haruki while he was distracted.
"Lulu," summoning the tentacle monster with the nickname Lulu, Haruki had it grab one of the beast\'s legs to make it fall face-first onto the ground.
The moment the last one in his portion fell down, Haruki left the other with the bats and walked up closer to him.
"You know there\'s one thing I haven\'t tried yet," shapeshifting again, he turned into a busty succubus. "I hate to do this, but apparently I can only hypnotize while I\'m posing as the opposite sex."
Stepping on the monster\'s head with his heels, Haruki looked down at it almost tempted to scar him further. Although horrified by the sight it had just witnessed, it slowly glanced up over the godly figure. Much like his incubus form, Haruki was clad in tattoo-like clothes barely covering his privates. The breasts especially were pouring out like an overflowing mug.
"Hypnosis: Tear off your heart and give it to me," giving it that command, Haruki turned back into an incubus.
\'Hopefully, that\'s all it needs to work.\' Its eyes devoid of emotions, the beast propped itself up and held its axe up high before his chest. Visibly gulping, it brought it down on itself tearing its own chest. \'Not yet done.\'
As the blood began pooling under him, the monster was brought to its knees when he took out the axe. Grunting in pain its whole body was shaking from blood loss, however, even then the monster reached into his own torn chest and began pulling on its own beating heart.
"AGTHHHTHHH!!!" It roared as it finally pulled the axe out of its body. But the moment he tried to pass it to Haruki, the monster fell down face first once again.
Slowly approaching the beast with its heart still beating in its hand, Haruki whistled to the spies to feast on the heart before it stopped the palpation.
"Go on enjoy, I know how much you love a live heart," snuggled up to Haruki in joy, one of the spies brushed lovingly against his cheeks "Ahaha, okay okay go on, I need to check on the others."
Sending the spy off, Haruki turned his clones who had somehow managed to subjugate the two remaining beasts. The fear he\'d instilled in them made them submit much faster, had it been entirely up to the clones then there was no way that they could\'ve done it so easily.
"Take them off, you stupid dungeon," taking off their necklaces, Haruki opened the portal underneath them and sent them off to his dungeon.
Covered in blood and gore, Haruki wasn\'t particularly happy with the familiar failing him because of the necklaces. In fact, now that the minotaur hormones weren\'t affecting him, the putrid smell around him was about to make him vomit.
"Grab the necklaces from the bodies," hoping the necklaces could be of use to him, he didn\'t want to leave even a single one of them behind.
\'Maybe Moriyana can look at the-no, wait…I\'m half scholar because of Snow\'s body, I should try and learn how to figure these things out myself.\' Finally understanding the scope of his own abilities, Haruki didn\'t wanna depend on her more than what was absolutely necessary.
"Now to see what they were guarding exactly," turning around to the small cave, the beasts had been guarding, Haruki made his way inside.
Making sure not to trigger any potential trap, he had himself floating in mid-air while moving further in. At the very end of the narrow cave, there were cryptic paints as well as stone cut sigil decorating the walls, and in the middle of it, all was an elevated platform with a small chest resting on top of it.
"What\'s this?" He whispered, taking the chest in his hands.
Opening it up with caution, he revealed a ring of gold with a giant red gemstone. Painted on top of it was an ominous eye that growled brightly as Haruki set it into one of his fingers.
\'Bloodthirst acquired!\' That announcement made Haruki scowl.
"Great…" He sighed.
As if tyrant\'s heart, sadism, gluten of cruelty, and even his demonic instinct for corruption weren\'t enough, Haruki managed to gain another passive ability that only made things worse.
\'I guess as long as it gives me stats bonuses while fighting like the gluten ability, I shouldn\'t be complaining.\' Remembering how much the gluten helped him while fighting the minotaurs, Haruki felt just a little better.
