Chapter 3: Drown In It (2)

Whoosh! Boom!

Suddenly a burst of crimson hot energy came out of Edward's left hand which was now engulfed in a crimson colored fiery hot aura. Stumbling back the creature dropped Edward on to the ground who duster Himself.

Shreek!

It lent out a blood curdling shriek and rushed towards Edward who quickly sidestepped and send a wave of hot crimson colored energy at creature burning two of its appendages. Unlike before the it's two appendages didn't regenerate back which made it roared in anger.

It started to tremble intensely as 10 more tentacle-like appendages grew out of its back with it even growing 4 more arms and it's face split apart creating two heads and even it's skin turned into a distorted space-like black. 

Rrrogggh!

A massive roar came out of its two heads as it stared down Edward not in hunger but in pure fury. However, Edward was completely unfazed as his two arms started getting engulfed in the crimson colored fiery hot aura.

"Tainted Kingdom of Anguish: Eclipse." Edward said.

Rasing both his straight up he sent down a eclipse colored beam of hot fiery energy down on to the creature. As the smoke dissapated the creature stood there alive with it's skin completely fine.

Edward's slightly widened, but quickly went back to normal as the crimson colored hot fiery aura disappeared from his arms.

"This is the first time I've used this move in a long time." Edward said, "Tainted Kingdom of Anguish: ACT 1: People's Call."

Out of the ground came out shadowy human kid figures in all sex and sizes as they pointed at the creature while some shouting at it, while some throwing rocks at it. The creature slammed its arms around, used its tentacle-like appendage to squeeze them to death, or just swallow them whole. 

Yet nothing worked everytime the creature killed one another shadowy humanoid figure would rise up from the floor. These shadowy figures were made of the same crimson colored hot fiery aura, but they did not damage just simply threw rocks.

All while this is happening Edward stared at the sight with no expression at all. Soon later the creature trembled as it slumped down tired from all the shadowy figures.

Edward placed his right hand on the figure's head and spoke.

"Rot in the abyss." 

Fiery burst of crimson colored energy came out his hand completely disintegrating the creature. Its flesh quickly dissipated into tiny bits of flesh and soon into thin bits of air.

The apartment trembled insanely as a white light enveloped the whole apartment complex turning it back to its original old normal decrepit broken down way. Edward took a peak in the right corner of the hallway to finally see a spiral staircase.

"Normality achieved," he muttered under his breath.

Going down the spiral staircase the walls were still oozing the same black blood as the Abnormality earlier which also had moving appendages stuck to the walls like moss.

Reaching the basement Edward entered it and pulled out his revolver from its holster and aimed at door.

Creak!

Slowly as he opened the door it lent out a loud creaking noise which echoed throughout the basement. Each step he took was slow, methodic, and quiet. Soon reaching a horrific sight in front of Edward was multiple rotten, mutilated, undistinguishable corpses scattered across the floor with old dried up blood everywhere.

One of the corpses was hanged upside down on a cross with the same symbol as before. The same symbol the wyvern's mouth eating a human etched onto the undefined corpse's chest which slowly leaked out maggots.

"Wyrm Howl Cult it is." Edward thought.

Just as soon Edward stepped foot on the stair something powerful knocked him back to a wall.

Plink! Plink!

Blood dripped down Edward's chest as he looked down he saw a liquid water spear impaled into him to a wall. Out of the shadows a figure came down making the wooden boards creak with each step they took.

Seeing the person who attacked and realizing who it was Edward smirked.

"Well well, if it isn't Kieran himself from the Golden Tooth Mafia." Edward said.

The figure removed the hood covering their face revealed themselves as man who has normal black hair but the left side of his face had large burn marks on it. Kieran wore a cloak and tattered hood with black cargo pants, but the only thing that set him apart was he didn't wore any socks or shoes.

"We meet again Mr. Hanged Man," Kieran said with a cold tone and stare.
