16 A Friend?

I ran past countless people as they readied themselves for battle.

Dodging bodies that could trample me I ran further into the crowd as the beetle continue its charge towards me.

Abilities were repeatedly being used to attack the bug while men died.

*Boom*

An explosion surprised me so turning around I was met by a hilarious situation.

The beetle took a shit in the middle of the battle, and the explosion was it crashing down on the floor and squashing his enemies.

Now instead of running further into the crowd, I climbed up a nearby tree.

Once I get to a high vantage point I looked down on the fight.

The beetle was surrounded and one of its hind legs was cut off.

Bodies of humans were everywhere, I could count sixty-three dead.

But the ones wounded were far more.

There were some that were lucky like the beetle missing some ligaments while the unlucky well was unlucky.

The ones trampled whether it was from their allies, or from the tress crashing on them, or the feces falling from the sky, they were all on their death beds.

Looking back from where I ran from I could see a path that was carved out due to all the trees being destroyed.

But underneath them was just pure red.

Bodies torn in half, heads crushed, and chunks of flesh were all that could be seen.

By now the men that were surrounding the beetle were wiped out.

The outermost shell of the beast was extremely strong and protected it from a lot of attacks but it was raining blood due to it being covered in wounds.

The beetle wouldn't last much longer but neither would the humans.

They had lost over three-fourths of their army and the beetle was still standing.

But something or rather someone caught my attention. In the tents where the warriors slept a female was laying on her stomach with her feet risen as she swung them back and forth.

'This might be interesting,' I say as I turn back to watch the fight.

The remaining men which only consisted of seven stood before the beetle.

But it wasn't even close only two abilities connected with the beetle which cut off one of its wings but the beetle was still alive and enraged.

When the beetle saw that it lost a wing it did something unusual… it bit its second wing and tore it off.

As the beetle came crashing down to the ground it threw its last wind at the men and they all died.

Some got turned to mush from being crushed while others were cut apart by the sharp wing.

But even with the last death, the girl was still watching uncaringly.

The beetle now wingless and with only one functional leg slowly made its way towards her.

I was interested to see what would happen as I watched on but something terrifying even for me happened.

It wasn't even a second or a millionth of a second but the beetle's head came crashing down on the floor of the forest.

It was beheaded and I didn't even know-how.

But that's when something even more terrifying happens.

"Hi!"

The girl I was just watching that was laying in the tent was now resting her back to my side and talking to me.

How? When? Or why? These questions were a mystery to me.

"Hi?" I said confused.

The girl moved off my side, laid down, and rested her head on my legs that were dangling off the branch we were on.

As she raised her head to look up at me she asked, "Why were you watching me?"

I responded with a monotone voice to answer her question, "Because I'm going to kill you."

She let out a hearty laugh as she continued to keep looking up at me.

"Of course you will! What I mean is why haven't you done so already?"

Any normal man would die to be in the situation that I'm currently in.

A beautiful girl with gorgeous looks, long black hair to match mine which was short, and not to mention she was voluntarily laying on my lap.

But none of that mattered to me in the slightest, instead, something else was much more beautiful.

Her status panel.

I wanted it.

'She has so many powerful abilities that I can't even comprehend them.'

*Ding*

[Error: 1]: *Must be at least level 75 to understand*

[ERROR: 2]: *The owner of this ability must tell you what it is*

"Because it wouldn't be any fun," I respond.

"Hehe! I knew it! You're a lot like me," She says with a smile.

"How am I like you?"

"We're both broken."

After she said that the forest was quiet for a long time.

The battle had long since ended.

The only sounded were us breathing as she still laid on me.

'Fuck it,' I say to myself. Having her around might actually help.

I grab a strand of her hair and begin to play with it in my fingers.

"Why did you let them die?" I ask.

She smiles at me radiating as if she was the sun. "Because I wanted to."

"I plan to kill everyone on this planet. That includes you," I tell her as I wait for a reaction.

But what she says next surprises me.

"Can I help?"

"Why?"

"Because it sounds like fun."

And she was right it does sound like fun.

Even though I can't kill her right now because I don't have any mana I can still use her.

Doing so will be easy enough plus that teleport ability will be great to get me where I want.

Of course, she could always kill me first but I know she won't.

That's because she wants to die.
