Chap 17 New Kill Count

... 

Kaeli and Rumia turned around at the unusual scream. No one can expect to hear in a battle where one second ago was resonating with the muffled groans and grunts of a victim getting crushed alive by the monsterous cow with her unrivalled grip over her victims 

Making it suffer a hellish pain incomparable to a sprain or strain 

"Maaaaauuuuu~" 

An unusual scream indeed, even for Kaeli who has heared a variety in her many deeds admits this is her first time hearing it with a growing veil

'I knew Melty would break him but I didn't expected him to become a masochist this quick' 

She has to applaud for Melty, It's a record even for Kaelis standard

In her mind it's too hard to imagine Devon with his smug look filled with overflowing confidence or borderline Arrogant look who didn't hesitate to challenge 'her' the chief of the Red Clan, A feared entity of the Zargot tribe

The one who can talk openly with the temples priests, with not even at the same eye level but looking down on her would be screaming like a fool in ecstasy while getting crushed with mangled flesh and protruding bones

With her growing expectations. Kaeli stare at the two figures that seems to become one from a distance laying on top of each other motionless raising her excitement

"W... What happened there?" 

Rumia gulped down her fears, She can't bear to hear this weird shouting through her ear

"Inevitable" Kaelia licked her lips with excitement

Rumia dismantle the growing Runes around her and start walking at the focus of attention of todays show, Kaeli responded with kind

She also want to see how Rumia will react after seeing 'The New Rome'

Leaping through the stands other ten members also followed both Rumia and Kaeli while whispering to others with interesting looks 

Slowly the dust particles cleared away giving a complete view of the two bodies freezed on their spot in a 69 position

"Hmm... 

They all halted down after they see a little movement but can't tell in which one 

"Slurp!

In the Eerie silence a creepy noise came from the bodies like one would hear in a zombie slasher movie

One of the ten members is too familiar with this noise "Someone is eating" The who spoke is a zombie itself. She obviously knows her race well

"De... Devon" Rumia called his name with her growing anxiety

Suddenly the unsuspected zombie flipped over it's victim

"Argh! 

Dropping the body at the other side revealing itself with blood and virus infected saliva dripping from the side of it's mouth

This zombie isn't like your typical one from a movie. It didn't wait for a second before swiping it's deadly bloodshot eyes over all the swines locking it's gaze at the only fresh looking vine ignoring all the already dead seniles 

Rumia yelped by its eyes and before she could run or shout for help she was attacked by this creature of wild

Deadly arms locking her from behind before she heared its grunt making her smile but not before she punch it with a reliefed smile for making her fret for a while

"I win" Devon said finally enjoying his victory with the only person present here for him before he gives his same smug look at Kaelis who see him came out without a scratch 

No blood, no mangled flesh nor any crushed bones. No one can tell those agonizing screams came from him some seconds ago leave a trail of blood at his lips and unusual amount of saliva smothering over his lips

"Is that enough to show my worth? Miss Kaeli?" His smug look again pissing her off 

Turning at the one who she trusted the most was passed out with a pool of some weird liquids under her body while she was drooling and giving a silly smile over beautiful flushed face, Shaking ever so slightly

"How did you... Do it" Kaeli asked but got the same silence from him as he was busy soothing the worries of the onee san cat maid in his arms while remembering how he wins this in his now signature style

.

*Devon

Feeling the pain I have never yet to face a scream inevitably came

"Aarghhh!

It was too much for me. Getting crush alive was definitely never on my adventures mind 

Her legs are locking my hands bounded behind my back, I can't even burn her legs even if I wanted to 

The executioner was also uselessy straped behind my back 

I was feeling helpless...again! 

My eyes must be bloodshot right now and in those eyes I saw her bare back... 

I couldn't think straight at this moment and before I notice 

My teeths clutches her silver skin tight pants that weirdly looks like some yoga pants from my world from her crotch right in between her leg area and teared it boldy! 

"Grip! 

"Teeeaaarrr! 

She haulted her strength abruptly making an abrupt relief flush through my veins. The relive was making my mind heavy, forcing it to get the rest but I knew it was but short lived like my life if I didn't do something

From my blood shot eyes, I saw my todays meal presented itself before my eyes... 

My hot breaths creating steam at front

Down from her anal hole there I saw it with my own eyes, A silver line

An inverted 'V' line with a single straight line filled with overlapping sensitive pink lines with a tempting red alluring tiny steamy hole breathing after a long time

My face inevitably pulled straight to those soft looking folds. Burying my face attacking it straight with my tongue knowing I don't have much time 

'This time she would go for the instant kill'

I searched, searched desperately for the life essence trying to use my [Siphon] like with Selia to heal myself and steal hers but even after a moment, I couldn't find it

"Aaaaahhhhh~

All i did was to stir her insides thoroughly. Ravaging her walls with my wriggling Rogue tongue making her moans uncontrollably

Slithering, I licks her pulpy walls defiling her completely from insides 'She will hate me for this' Not that I cared though 'She asked for this'

'There!' Founding the invisible flow I started 

[Siphon]

The thing was different than the others. I don't know what Revenants have in them as they don't have their own life essence. I=t was all borrowed from the livings so what is this? 

Whatever it is. It did heals my wounds and shocked her enough that she isn't moving

I continued eating her out, Emptying her soul 

Brushing my teeths against her sensitive folds trying to make it painful for her but then 

"Buzzzz~

"Aahhhh~hhaaaa~

With a buzz she released her mushy liquids before dropping down on my body helplessly, I can feel her face squashed on my already hard cock

'Wait... Did she climaxed?' It wasn't even a question at this point but a thought before I resume my meal, Gotta heal first before I take my revenge on her

'The victory is mine' 

... 

"How did you do it?" Rumia asked him as she was feeling his breathing chest against hers. Moving up and down reminding herself he could have gone for good leaving him to deliver his unmoving corpse to Selia 

She knows the revenants like Devon can be easily destroyed if they dismantle him or the universal, Let them starve. There are those who came back by possessing different things rather than their old bodies but even they can be destroyed if one gets their hands on their weakness. A lich phylactery is one of the many

"A trade secret" 'It would be good if it remains a secret' Devon dreaded what will Rumia thinks of him if she knews how he wins at the last moment

While he was celebrating his victory and gloating over Kaeli, A muffled voice came behind him making him freeze. Although he didn't hear it clearly it did sent a chill through his spine 

"Chief... I found him... The one... I'm searching..." She said with her half drunken eyes staring at Devon's back before she added with a crazed expression like the one she showed at the start of the battle "He's mine" Licking her lips while standing with her woobly legs by taking support from a girl with short shoulder length pink hairs 

Devon was surprised seeing her stand again more so when he didn't hold back at that time 

'I hope she also forgets what happened like with kronia' 

Too bad the opposite has already happened. She had engraved his touch to her memory

After that Kaeli could only grit her teeth and agree on him joining her Clan

She could have used more things against him as she could tell he didn't have the support from Ruas, one of the Elder of the tribe

It was only her servant, Rumia. Doing things on her own

Athough she's a strong warrior, Rumia doesn't hold a candle against her but under the stern gaze of Melty, Her one of the strongest warriors she could only let it slide 

'One dead weight for a favor against Melty isn't a bad deal' 

. 

. 

. 

"Devon can you go ahead? I have something to do here" 

Rumia said while massaging her forehead like she remembered right at the moment when they're about to came out of the Hall

With a shrug Devon agreed and was about to walk away when he heard her

"You do know the directions back to the mension right Devon?" She asked out of concern of which Devon said with a smile without even turning back at her "Of course I know" With a wave of his hand

.

. 

. 

"Now which turn is it" Standing at the cross road. Devon contemplated with a thoughtful look before adding 

"I have already taken two lefts, Now let's take two rights to make it even" 

After walking for a while and turning left and right or whatever his godly sense of direction tells him to go from wide road to narrow roads, Narrow roads to some barely a foot wide road only to found a dead end... 

The wall was too high for him to jump past it and too steep for him to climb while the narrow street was covered with the shades of high buildings side by side creating a dim environment filled with a foul smell making him scrunch his nose 

There's some gaps in between the buildings but they leads to nowhere

More so when those gaps is already crowded with the scavengers, Their eyes glowing bright green in the dark

Some rustlings, Tusslings of them can be heared after Devon brazenly walks in their territory like he own the place only to found himself locked in his place

"Should have waited for Rumia" 

Devon said with a sigh, Promising to never trust his sense of directions ever again 

"Ghiiii... 

Feeling the disturbance getting more prominent Devon turned around and found himself surrounded by the scavengers of the streets

Cracklers, five ft in height with brown soft shell draped down like a cape. Their bodies are barely covered with some scrapes of clothes leaving their mostly non human like limbs on display, Two pairs of stick like arms with two hind legs. Otherwise they look like any malnourished human

They live away from the civilizations but in the civilizations to sustain better 

"If I say I'm a lost child in a fright who happened to came across the wrong side, will you give me a side so I can run back to the bright side?" He asked helplessly with a wry smile

Even though It was already a given why they surrounded him in the first place

His words fell on deaf ears

The cracklers in the middle of the crowd was pushing the front to make a move at him with a foul smell becoming more unbearable for Devon 

"L... Leave your possession right now!" 

An old man came out after a time and said loudly with his screeching voice holding nothing but his two pairs of cracking fists

Behind him stands more than twenty strong cracklers with malnourished body eyeing Devon like a food with some dripping drool that burns the ground like an acid would

The stench was too palpable in the air, Making Devon frown with utter disgust

Behind Devon stood more of them. He can't even tell if they're females or males, They all look the same to him

As Devon did nothing but frown and stare at the wall. The others started to close the gap between him slowly eyeing him warily 

"Leave your mo...money! And we... We will let you leave" 

Another man said with fear apparent in his eyes but still advancing against Devon with shaking hands holding a rusted sword with blunt edges

They knew they're helpless if Devon uses the well polished blade against them but they still tried to threaten him

In a sense they're fearless and fearful at the same time

"Will you?" Devon asked looking skeptical. The same old man nodded making him smile in relief

"Clankh! 

Taking out his sword Devon grips it from the middle and dropped it on the ground making a clanking noise of the steel sword against the stone floor 

"Here... Now can I leave?" 

Devon asked looking around the numbers of them before a clear passage formed in between them leading straight to the busy road filled with traffic

"The... Money?" 

Devon stopped after hearing this and smacked his forehead 

"Oh! How can I forget it... Here take it"

Shaking his head Devon takes out a heavy looking pouche given by Rumia and with an amiable smile Devon dropped it on the hands of a smiling man before walking away

The pouche didn't even touch his hands when a blue flame engulfed it in the middle of its descent, Taking the shape of a blue tear drop ball exploding on his face

"Boom! 

The random crackler didn't even get a chance to scream when his complete body blasted away 

Leaving behind a fountain of blue blood spreading on the walls and the other cracklers faces while it's lower half was burning like a candle stick with a blue flame using the broken spine like a flick of the candle before dropping down the ground, Snapping all the others from their stupor 

Uproar! would be an understatement to this

Snatching, The rusted sword from one of them

Devon covered it with [Molding]x2 in a second only to stab right through the heart of the one nearest to him but even then it ran away after a stab to the heart 

The fearless cracklers who are threatening Devon one second ago are now running back in their holes while some are climbing on walls, Running further away from him through the one meter wide gaps in between the buildings 

They're scavengers not some brave fighters nor some thugs, For them survival is their priority above all else

They preys on weak and pray to the strong, It's in their bloodline to be fearful against the strong and be fearless against the weak 

"Arghhhhhh! 

But if leaves with no choice they're the most bravest warriors in the history of Zargot tribe, Also the reason why they aren't wiped 

Five cracklers surrounded Devon from each side masking others escape behind them. They aren't strong looking but also aren't weak enough to not stand a chance against him

An arc of brown Semi Runic Ring manifested along side each of them before adjoining in a pair while the fifth Cracklers Semi Runic Ring expanded like a radar covering the distance of ten meters in the narrow passage

Devon was surprised by seeing two brown looking beetles taking place against the four cracklers while the fifth one looking like in a deep focus sending pulse after pulse of brown runes around him

It did nothing to him but these pulse makes a link between those beetles 

"Doesn't matter..." 

His smile wasn't present this time but a blank face as he look past those brown shelled beetles

The running Cracklers, making a silent escape hiding in every corner possible making the stench in the air lesser as their numbers dwindled

'Too bad couldn't even utilize the flame seeds' He didn't use complete potential of Flaming seeds like with the time against melty as it could cripple the adjacent walls making it fall on him

'This smell is... Disgusting' Devon couldn't describe in words how could he able to tell what this stench meant but he knew he doesn't like this stench coming from them 

Wanting to end it quick, 

Devon ran forward with one sword covered in a pulsing bright red tendrils dodging the quick snap from the beetles jaw by taking a leap against to the walls

Tightening the grip Devon thrust the sword against the shell making a whistling noise from tearing the air around the edges only to encounter a resistance he couldn't break it

The beetle A reacted quick, Turning to the right. It kicked at him with its six legs in succession rapidly trying to bury Devon in the wall

Leaves with no choice Devon withdraw his sword and stands firm back on the ground stabilizing his breath

It wasn't even past some hours from his last fight with Melty and now this, If possible he did wanted to avoid them but 'I don't like them'

His nose wasn't this sensitive before but now he felt like he could discern many things with this, The stench is one of them

"Ten is it? Or twenty one?" He asked scrunching his nose. Sensing another unique smell in between them 'A youngster' It was of pure one 

The Beetle B trying it's best to chew on his bones and stab him with a short but sharp horn while sandwiching Devon against the beetle A 

"Clank! 

The shells were hard to penetrate. Devon could only make many dents against them while pushing them back one by one

The smell lingering in the air are coming from their foul acidic mouth 

"Why you... Attack?!" 

The fifth crackler asked in rage as the pulse coming from his semi Runic Ring becomes violent making the two beetles attack him more vigorously

Devon sighed before two small blast happened under his feets, Sending him high above them leaving a trail of blue remaining flames in a curved motion up above

Catching his breath, Devon placed one foot on the adjacent wall as he locks his gaze against the fifth crackler who watched him with wide eyes

"Boom! 

Like a living missile Devon propelled himself forward by a series of small blasts trying his best to maneuver himself in midair 

Closing the distance against the fifth crackler Devon with his blank face only muttered a single word

"Cause I can" 

Before beheading him in one swift motion feeling a subtle object in between the flesh, It's neck bone

The two beetles also dropped down with brown heavy smoke leaving their bodies dropping four separate naked cracklers as some bunch of mangled bones

Stabilizing himself on the ground. Devon stands again feeling exhausted more than ever 

Even if they would have leaves him alone Devon wouldn't

"Here goes my temporary sword" He said in dissatisfaction as the sword becomes ashes carried by the wind 

The other cracklers are all hidden well in their places leaving Devon to burn the leftovers of the cracklers to vent his dissatisfaction 

The dark valley was illuminated with pure blue flames for some time as Devon walks out to the busy road with his sheathed sword on his shoulder 

"Why I didn't take the taxi?" He said after a large carriage passed in front of him, He felt like an idiot before he stopped it with a gesture 

"The bill would be on Lady Ruas please" He told the carriage driver with a smile as he boarded it, Feeling happy for using his brain for the first time in a while

He didn't felt anything that he was only one step away from wiping a weak and helpless clan nor that he can even if he wanted to... 

... 

"Who did this?" 

A giant Seven ft long skinny shadow asked with a grunt standing in the same valley Devon did his wonders of the day

He's wearing a green belt belonging to his Clan with a bag hanging on his shoulder

"We... Don't know" The elder of the cracklers clan replied gravely 

"Any clue" His voice is calm despite the inner turmoil 

"B...Blue... All blue" 

A shaking voice muttered rocking back and forth at a corner alone. It's the same man who was standing nearest to the man who gets blasted first

"Tell me more... My child" 

A big hand patted his head, Asking gently while clenching his other hand tightly
