Chapter 5

This village was the ideal place for caleb, he only had to wait for the grimms to be attracted by the negative emotions but he had to find a place to stay while waiting for the grimms to start appearing.

He explored the forest that was next to the village and ended up finding a clearing in which there was a rock of a particular shape that could serve as shelter.

He went under the rock and lay down waiting for the grimms to arrive. As he waited he thought about everything that had happened since he was reincarnated as a grimm. The vision he saw before he became a beowolf, that strange woman with white skin and black clothes he's seen twice now and the other woman with silver eyes, black and red hair with a white cape who, unlike the first woman, exuded a reassuring and warm aura.

Will he ever meet them, only time can tell. He then thought about what happened in the city, what happened with the little girl. Maybe any chance of being able to return to live with humans is not lost, but for such a thing to happen he would already have to be able to approach them without them running away or trying to kill him.

He knows very well that one day he will have to face hunters and that when that day comes it will be them or him and he does not intend to let himself be killed obediently. He has already killed people in his old life so he has no problem doing it again in this one even if for that he must increase his strength if he wants to have a chance against only one hunter.

Hunter.....he dreamed of becoming one in his old life, unfortunately he didn't have the chance to become one. The fact of having lived in crime from a young age and that he was never able to unlock his aura meant that he had to give up this dream even if he did well with guns but now it was no use form given the state it was in.

For the moment only one thing mattered and that was to get stronger as quickly as possible.

Two days passed and no Grimm had shown up. He was beginning to get impatient when he heard several warning movements from the forest. He got up and walked discreetly towards the source of the noise. He made his way through the bushes and finally arrived at the place where the noise came from and that's where he saw them. a pack of about twenty small grimms having only two legs, a tail and a face covered with bones.

If he remembers correctly these grimms were called creeps.

It was good news for him as they were smaller than him and less powerful but the problem was their numbers.

Even if they were much easier to kill than beowolfs it was too risky for him to attack them all directly, he had to play it more discreetly.

For now he decided to stay in ambush in the bushes and see what they would do. The pack seemed to be heading towards the village which was perfect for him as it would distract them while he was doing his thing.

He watched them pass and began to follow them from a distance while remaining hidden. He noticed a creep that was a step back from the rest of the group and decided to steer discreetly towards it.

The pack eventually emerged from the forest and began to charge towards the village. Before the creep that was in the back could get out of the forest, Caleb rushed at him without the others noticing him. He jumped up and gave him a violent kick with his paw sending him crashing into a tree and then before he could get up he threw himself on him and started to tear him apart with his claws.

The grimm ends up dying in a dull roar and disintegrating then entering the body of caleb like the beowolf. Caleb could feel the same feeling of strength as when he killed the beowolf even if this time it was less effective, probably because the creeps were less strong than the beowolfs but it was not the only one he had to kill, more of about twenty of them was waiting for him.

In the village the panic was absolute. As Caleb had guessed there were no hunters in this village and the people who live there are not fighters.

Most of the inhabitants such as children or the elderly locked themselves in the houses while the man and the women who could defend themselves did their best to repel the attack of the grimms.

On his side Caleb was making sure to attack the creeps scatter in the village who were trying to enter the houses one by one in a discreet way. With each grimm he killed he could feel his strength and speed increase, it was a truly incredible feeling.

After a while he couldn't find any more creeps scattered in the village, he focused on the noises and heard a lot of commotion in the middle of the village. he walked towards the noises and saw the members of the village gathered against a wall surrounded by five creeps, they must have been the last remaining creeps.

The villagers did their best to prevent the grimms from advancing with makeshift weapons or tools. At the head of the group was a bald man with a brown beard and one blind eye who appeared to be the village chief.

"Don't back down! We are the only line of defense protecting our families!"

When he said that a creep took the opportunity to jump on him, the man had just enough time to put the fork he had in his hands in front of him blocking the creep which bit the handle of the tool.

The man struggled on the ground with the creep under the frightened gaze of the others. He got into debt as best he could when he felt the creepy weight on him disappear.

He looked up wide when he saw a beowolf lift the creep with one paw and crush it heavily to the ground, killing it instantly.

The other creeps turned to caleb surprised by what just happened but he didn't let them react and decapitated one of them with a blow. Another jumped on him and bit his arm while another jumped trying to aim for his head but caleb caught him in midair and threw him against a house then hit the head of the grimm who bit his arm several times against the ground until a crack was heard and the creep's head split in two.

One of the two remaining creep tried to jump on the village chief who was still on the ground but he managed to get up and put his fork in front of him impaling the creep.

The last creep jumped on caleb but he caught him and then in a big blow tore him in two killing the last grimm and absorbed their bodies.

He then turned to the villagers who were trying to help their leader to his feet while pointing their guns at Caleb with expressions of fear and shock at what had just happened.

A long moment of silence fell between the villagers and Caleb but no one moved.

It was Caleb who decided to leave creating a startled movement among the villagers who watched him leave with a completely lost look on their faces, it was the chief who broke the silence.

"What just happened....."
