20 Demon

-Freezing feather, five feathers.

-!!

-Whos there?!

I opened the door with a kick and threw the feathers to the hooded people, just three landed, the remaining people managed to dodge them with rare reflexes, but the hoodie that covered their faces fell.

-Who dares to interrupt us?! Said the guard I previously greeted, his eyes injected with blood and the vein that stood out from his head seemed about to explode from anger.

-Who cares! Let´s kill him! Surprisingly enough, the other survivor was a woman, she had several disturbing tattoos and perforations on her face.

Both pulled out a curved dagger from their clothes and threw themselves at me.

-Freeze.

I put my hands on the floor and the magic circle started to freeze the sea of blood below our feet at high speed, the guard avoided the ice jumping over the mountain of corpses, the woman reacted too late.

-Ghk! AH! HELP ME! HELP-

Her body completely froze between her cries of help, I was prudent enough to make the spell only freeze her and left almost intact the hypnotized people, some of them ended with their feet frozen.

Better a cold than death.

-Damn it! Who the fuck are you?!

-... If you surrender peacefully I may not kill you.

-Ghk! YOU, COME HERE! The guard ordered one of the hypnotized people to come closer, the magic circle in their hands answered and obeyed.

-ANSWER ME OR SHE DIES! Said the guard resting the edge of the dagger against the neck of a hypnotized woman.

The face of the guard had deformed into faces of frustration and hatred, his mouth expelled a quantity of saliva equivalent to the volume of his voice, his body was trembling because of the cold, or a more honest feeling.

-I believe you don't understand your current situation. I said looking at the woman shape piece of ice.

-You´re not in control here.

After making sure she had the tattoo of the winged snake, I shattered the ice with a kick, spreading the remains of the woman through the floor and the walls.

Fei Xue established a mental connection with me.

-Master, the barrier was dissipated, Should I enter?

-Yes, get everyone out of here and leave them in a safe place.

-Immediately.

I cut the connection and slowly started to walk towards the guard over the pile of corpses.

-D-DON´T MOVE! I'M WARNING YOU!

The edge of the dagger managed to make a small cut in the woman, a bit of blood began to flow through her neck, staining the fingers of the guard.

-If she dies you die, today I feel generous, so, if you let her go, you´ll get out from this alive.

-Y-You´re lying!

-If I wanted to kill you...

I pointed below him.

-... AH!

The guard followed my finger and saw how the pile of corpses and his feet had already frozen.

-I would already have done that.

-AH! Ghk!...

It took him some seconds to answer, the sweat that came out of his pores and the desperation in his eyes were my only entertainment while he considered his options.

-All right! All right!

The guard threw away the woman and the dagger, lifting his arms in surrender.

I didn´t lose time and with a jump, I buried my knee on his face, breaking his nose among disgusting creaks.

-BUOHG?!.

Then, I tore apart the clothes covering his arms and used Putrefaction.

-AAAAHHHHH! YOU PROMISED! YOU PROMISED! Screamed the guard with snot, tears, and blood flooding his face.

When the skill activated, his skin already pale for the lack of sun changed into a greyish color, blisters with pus and grease violently exploded while his flesh fell over the ice with a wet sound, I made that the effect ran from his arms to his hands.

Those were five beautiful minutes of pure pain framed in the face and screams of the guard.

When it seemed like he was out of strength, I let go of his fleshless arms, and then I grabbed his head, got closer to his ear, and whispered with a gentle voice.

-I lied~.

His eyes expanded like plates before the realization of had being fooled.

-AAAAAAAAHHHHH! FUCKER! DIE! GO TO HELL! I´LL FUCKING KILL YOU!

It was surprising how he could say that in the conditions he found himself in, it almost made me feel a bit of respect... Almost...

-Freeze.

I froze from his neck down, leaving only his noisy head intact.

-Stop screaming.

I threw my fist to his cheek.

Pow! *

Some of his teeth flew away along with his blood.

-AAHH! SON OF A BITCH!

Pow! *

Again.

-GHA! I-I´M GOING TO KILL YOU!

Pow! *

Again.

-EH, AH, YO WILL DIE.

Pow! *

Again.

-N-no mohe.

Pow! *

One more.

-I´m shohy! I´m shohy!

When I was done domesticating his behavior Sinaloa style, I grabbed his unkempt blonde hair and forced him to look at me.

At the same time, Fei Xue arrived and started to pull out the hypnotized people in silence.

-There are more like you, Where are they?

-M-Mohe, me, yeh, Yeh! Mohe! Me!

Shit, The hits made him stupid?

-Where?!

-Eaht! Dowhn! !Watheh!

-Do you want me to do the same thing with your legs?! Do you dare to lie to me?!

I lifted my fist in threat.

-IIHHH! * NHO! DOHNH LIEH! NHO LIEH!

I wanted to secure the information, but since I killed all the other culprits my only way to confirm it was through the fear of this scum.

His reaction gave me enough confidence to know the information was not fake.

I lowered my fist and grabbed his right eye between my fingers, ready to be extirped at any moment.

-The elf and the kids! Why?!

-Maha! Blooh! Lhoth oh maha!

-Your plans! Tell me everything!

-Dhemoh! Invhok Dhemoh! Havhe powhe! Loh oh powhe!

Guess never lacks people like you no matter the world.

I gazed at the man for one last time.

-Good, thank you.

Immediately after, I buried the razor of my penknife in his neck, converting him into a sacrifice.

-Gha! * Phg! *

-Not so funny when it happens to you, Is it?

I left him to blood out in the ice and finished taking photos.

Fei Xue came to me once I was done.

-All the survivors were evacuated successfully master, I put them to sleep so they would think all of this was nothing but a bad dream.

-Your attention to detail never stops to surprise me, good job.

I tried to pet Fei Xue´s head, but she walked away from me.

-... What?

-I would prefer you to touch me in a more romantic place, and with less blood, master.

I looked around and to myself, everything was filled with melting ice, blood, and entrails with rotten flesh.

-Ahaha... You´re right, sorry.

-Kukuku~- I guess this is the so-called human cruelty, it has been a time since I last witnessed it.

-Is that so? Well, I´m sorry you had to watch this, it was kind of savage.

-I would lie if I said I didn´t expect something similar, but I hope you fight with the same emotion when it´s about me~. Said Fei Xue with a flirty wink.

-Hahaha, sure, for now, do me a favor and get rid of that. I said pointing at the crimson magic circle.

-A demonic magic circle for invocation, these people were trying to invoke a low-level demon.

-Really? How powerful is that?

-I´d say enough to destroy a small village in a night.

-Uwah, immediate response.

With that level of threat, the capital wouldn´t have problems tearing it apart, but surely lots of people and building would go in the process, it was good that we stopped them.

After Fei Xue said some words in a non-likable dialect I didn´t understand, the crimson magic circle disappeared.

Why I couldn´t understand that?

The linguistic rules for the rides between worlds will never stop being a mystery to me.

I got closer to the corpses and inspected them in search of something useful.

Shit, I´m exhausted, my head feels light, and my body heavy.

I found a small book.

-Let´s get out of here, I need to go back to work.

-Do you intend to work like that? I´m afraid that will be impossible.

-Hah, what are you saying, I´m perfectly fiineeeeeee.

Thump*

I lost my balance for a moment, but before my face could submerge in the tainted ground, a legendary class softness stopped my downfall.

-Kukuku. Told you~.

-... I just need a couple of minutes.

-Of course.

Fei Xue took me to the seats of the bar, opened several windows to make the rotten smell go out of the building, and sat beside me guarding the outskirts.

-Twenty minutes, wake me up in twenty minutes.

-Understood, leave your body to my care~.

Fei Xue pulled my head to her lap, the heat and smoothness that it gave me were better than any pillow I had used before.

I closed my eyes and submerged in a deep dream until I could recover my strength.

Is curious how I let my body to the person I trust the least.

At least if I die now she comes with me.
