Chapter 76 - W-Why are you doing this?
“Where is she!?”
“Hey! Who is that!? A Catkin?”
“Whattt!? He is a man!? What the hell!?”
“Fuck you! I ran so much only to find out it was a man!”
“Dammit!”
“This man! I will torture him to death!”
The human soldiers roared in rage as they glanced at the back of the catkin who standing in front of them.
“…”
However, the man they were walking about was frozen stiff.
Seeing this, a human soldier couldn’t help but laugh.
“Pfffftt! Look how scared he is… Hahaha~ Do you really want to torture him, brother?”
“Hehe~ Of course, don’t you know? The more coward the person is, the funnier his reactions are when he gets tortured. Torturing people like them is what I like the most.”
“Indeed. The way they beg for mercy is just too funny~”
“Hahahaha!”
“True!”
“Hahahaha!”
The humans laughed, however, the catkin was still frozen stiff.
Seeing this, a human frowned.
‘Something is wrong… at times like this, his body should tremble in fear…”
“He-” He wanted to warn his friends, however, a voice was heard.
“Oh really?”
“Huh? Who said that?”
The humans started looking around.
Then, they glanced at the catkin in front of them and frowned,
“Was he the one?”
“No, of course not. The man is so scared that he isn’t even running right now, why would he dare to say a word?”
The humans started discussing, then suddenly, the Catkin in front of them raised his left hand a little.
Then, 4 dark red coloured balls of a diameter of 6cm appeared around the catkin. The balls then turned into a pointy red coloured sickle and they shot toward the four humans. Everything happened so fast that the humans couldn’t even react, the ‘armour’ that they were wearing was pierced through without any resistance and the Red sickles attacked their crotch.
“AAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
The humans shouted in agony and they fell to the ground.
Then, the catkin finally turned around.
This time, the humans saw his face and their body shivered in fear.
He didn’t look like he was frozen from fear at all, rather, that big, distorted smile on his face made him look more like a demon incarnate. His eyes were shining so brightly that the humans felt like they would be devoured alive.
“You really enjoyed yourself huh…” The catkin muttered with a big smile on his face.
“You really enjoyed killing Catkin… didn’t you?” The catkin repeated.
The humans shivered even more, the pressure that this catkin was releasing was suffocating.
“P-Please…” Suddenly, the catkin heard a cry.
He turned to a human who had snot all over his face, he was on his knees with his head on the ground and he begged.
“P-Please… let me go… I apologize for everything I did…”
Interestingly enough, he was the man who talked about how fun it was to torture a coward.
“Heh…” A small smile appeared on the catkin’s face.
Then, he walked toward the humans and placed his foot on the back of his head.
“Beg more properly.” He commanded, there was an amused look on his face.
“Please… let me go… I have a pregnant wife back home… I can’t leave her alone…” The man begged again as he was ordered, this time, he even rubbed his nose on the ground.
The catkin’s smile widened, then, he stepped back and a kind smile appeared on his face.
“Raise your head.”
The man raised his head, his face that was covered with tears and snort was now covered in mud, tears and snort.
Then, the Catkin extended his right hand towards the man.
The man frowned, however, he extended his hand towards him.
The Catkin grabbed his hand gently and questioned in a kind voice,
“Do you really regret what you did?”
“I do! I really do! I swear I would never do something like this! Actually, I would never even fight! I will become a common person!”
The man nodded countless times.
“Alright, I can sense that you aren’t lying to me.” The Catkin muttered in a kind voice.
“Yes! Yes! I am not Lying!” The man nodded with an excited look on his face.
“Do won’t ever torture someone else either, right?” The Catkin questioned again, with a kind voice of course.
“Yes! Of course! I would never do something like that!” The man nodded.
“Indeed. I can feel it,” The Catkin then smiled even more and suddenly, his voice turned heavier,
“You certainly won’t do it again, never.”
Then, the Catkin pulled the arm he was holding and tore it away.
“AAAAAAGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
The man cried in agony as he rolled his body all over the ground, the blood spilled out like a fountain, however, for some reason, the blood never touched the Catkin.
The Catkin then threw the arm in his hand as if he was throwing trash and glanced at the human rolling all over the ground.
“You won’t have the chance to do it, after all.”
“AAAAGGHHHHHHH!!!”
The man didn’t reply, he just continued screaming in agony.
And while this man was rolling on the ground in pain, a human quickly stood up and tried to run away.
And he did that right in front of the Catkin’s eyes.
“Tsk Tsk. As expected of a human. How dumb.”
The Catkin shook his head in disappointment, then another Red Coloured Sickle appeared near him, then it shot towards the man who was running away and pierced his leg.
“AAAGHHHHHHH!!!”
Then, the Catkin turned towards the other 3 humans and three more Sickles appeared near him.
“AAAAGGGGHGHHHHHHHH!!!”
All the humans screamed, there was a huge hole in their legs. There was no way they could run away now.
“PLEASE! I BEG YOU! LET ME GO! I WILL NEVER HARM BEASTMEN AGAIN!” Suddenly, the man who had his arm torn off begged again.
The other humans nodded and repeated.
“Please! We beg you, let us go, we will never harm Beastmen again…”
And just like the other human, they all rubbed their nose on the ground as well.
“Pffttt.”
The Catkin, however, just chuckled and then,
He started laughing.
“Hahahahaha~
Hahahahahahaha~
HAHAHAHAHA!!”
His laugh echoed all over the jungle and no animal or beast dared to make any sound.
The humans who were bowing right in front of him couldn’t help but cower in fear, however, one of the clever humans frowned as he thought about something.
“If you are so strong… then why didn’t you come and save the Neko Village?” He raised his head and questioned.
The man in front of him stopped laughing, then, he glanced at him and brought his face close to him.
*Gulp*
The human who asked the question gulped when he saw that distorted smile from up close.
“Why would I care about those filthy Beastmen?” The Catkin questioned.
The human’s eyes widened in shock and horror, however, it was not because of the Catkin’s words.
It was because of his eyes.
His brown eyes had suddenly turned red, dark red and they shined uncontrollably.
“W-Who are you?” The man couldn’t help but question.
Suddenly, the Catkin’s body began to change. His height and muscles grew, his hair turned even blacker, his skin turned paler, his eyes turned red, features turned sharper, his cat ears and tail disappeared and his clothes changed into black top and bottom with a blood-red coloured long coat.
He turned into an incredibly handsome being.
“V-Vampire…”
He turned into Azriel.
“Those eyes… that skin… you are a vampire…”
Azriel smiled and then, he nodded.
“I am a Vampire indeed.”
“W-Why is a vampire here?” The human questioned in shock.
Actually, he was too shocked right now and there were countless questions in his mind.
A vampire? Since when were they so monstrously strong? Aren’t they just weak Slaves? He wanted to ask this, however, he didn’t dare to.
In what world does this man look weak?
“Huh? Why am I here? Shouldn’t you ask a better question?” Suddenly the Vampire standing in front of him questioned with a playful smile on his face.
“W-What question?”
“Shouldn’t you ask,
Why are you here?”
Azriel muttered and the man widened his eyes.
“Shouldn’t you ask why you were inside the Beastmen Village?
Shouldn’t you ask why were you killing those Catkins?
Shouldn’t you ask how you got to this village from your Town?”
Azriel smiled and the more he spoke, the wider the man’s eyes got, and he was not alone, the other humans’ eyes widened in surprise as well and they started thinking.
Even the human whose hand was torn apart started thinking while ignoring the pain.
“C-Charm… You used charm…” Suddenly, a human muttered.
He may not know about this in detail, however, he had heard about the Skill named Charm that Vampires use to hypnotize their opponents.
Of course, at that time, he just shrugged and thought it was a joke.
After all, according to him,
Vampires were weak.
Of course, he would never think like that again.
Not that it will matter now, he won’t live for long after all.
“Bingo.” Azriel turned toward the human and smiled.
“W-Why are you doing this?”
