31 The Depraved One (3)

Seeing the mark on the forehead of the men, enraged Zok even more. But that anger faded away quickly and was replaced by sickening bloodlust. It almost seemed like the system was waiting for something like this to happen, because the moment Zok's bloodlust reached its peak, a mission was given to him.

[Emergency Quest: Please your bloodlust by any means necessary.]

[Rewards: EXP +200]

[Additional rewards will be awarded for depravity.]

'Depravity... I like that word.' Zok thought before licking the blood from his hands. He didn't know why he did something as disgusting as that, but at that moment he just felt like doing so.

Zok stared at both of the gargantuan men carefully in the hopes of finding some kind of weakness. The men were almost identical, their built, dressing sense, and their weapon of choice: an axe, everything was similar. Except for their hair. One of them did not have a single strand of hair on top of their heads while the other one only had hair resembling a tulak's tail that was beaded just like their beards.

"What a sick bast.ard..." The gargantuan man with a bald head mumbled, "I thought the Shamanka had already taken care of that cannibal tribe. But looks like one of them managed to survive. Maybe this was the reason why she commanded us to protect this location. It would be troublesome if someone as evil as this bast.ard got through here."

"No. Her Holiness told us to keep watch for a green-haired bast.ard, remember? This guy is just unfortunate to have found us here." The man with a ponytail let out a pitiful laugh, "What do you say? Shall we get rid of his limbs and then have some fun with him?"

'Green-hair... So these but.tholes were supposed to be on the lookout for me? But they should think I died along with Taheton. It must be that shamanka... that bit.ch is trouble. She is way more capable than I imagined. But does that mean the tribe knows about it as well?'

Zok shook his head a little. This wasn't the time to think about all that. He had to do what he was there to do first and for that, he needed to kill both of those henchmen. But first, he needed to take care of someone else. The weakling from before.

Zok turned around to look at the third henchman who was bullying the old man when Zok arrived there. The man saw Zok and made a break for it, but was only able to take a couple of strides when Kaira tackled him to the ground.

On Zok's command, she did not kill him nor did she give any grievous wound to him. She only dug her canines deep into the man's thighs, rendering him of any sort of strong, sudden movements. After he was done dealing with the giants, Zok was going to take his time torturing that poor soul and enjoy it very much.

"Wait a moment... that direwolf. It's the one the Shamanka showed us before." The baldy looked at his twin, "It is that kid. I'm sure of it!"

"But... that guy looks nothing like the kid. He was supposed to have a frail-looking body with green hair. But that wolf... hm, we'll just have to confirm our suspicions then." The twin replied, "Even if he is the one the Shamanka mentioned, it doesn't change anything. We will still take him down and have fun with his body before presenting him to the shamanka to decide whether he is the one or not. It's an easy job for us one that would please her holiness even more. I wonder what kind of powers would she give us after that. Wait- where did that bast.ard go?"

All of a sudden Zok disappeared from their eyes like he never was there in the first place. Both the men started looking around for him, but couldn't see him anywhere. However, rather than panicking more, both of them swiftly calmed themselves and closed their eyes.

'Fcking fools!' Zok thought as he made his way towards them from behind, 'Kaira, attack the baldy, I'll take care of the tulak's tail here.'

Kaira immediately charge towards them and Zok simultaneously lunged at the man. However, as soon as he did that he realised something was off because both the men were smiling. The next moment the bald man slashed his black axe right at him. While the one with hair lunged towards Kaira.

'Shi.t! Kaira back down now!' Zok yelled using hivemind skill while he himself jumped back. Both of them barely managed to dodge their respective assailants, 'I didn't make any noise and I don't smell either. Then how the hell were they able to sense me?'

'Level 20!?' Zok was shocked as his invisibility faded away, 'That's... just absurd! They are stronger than the Arachnid or the Serpent? How does it even make any sense?'

"Thanks for confirming our suspicion, Kiddo." The baldy smiled disgustingly, "Looks like you really killed that Taheton brat. But rest assured, you won't be able to kill us with your petty tricks. Especially, since that bracelet won't help you anymore."
