Chapter 30

Shit! I totally forgot about him!

"Kino-chan?! where's Kino-chan!"

We then went back on our tracks but with this crowd? It's nearly impossible to find him!

I'll guess I have to-

"Don't use your skills here!"

'Hm? what do you mean? and why?'

"This town had a special detecting device, it marks a person whenever she or he uses magic or a skill."

'R-really?'

"Yes and it won't take even a minute before guard arrive to cut you down."

Fuck... fine.

'Well we won't be able to find him if we stick together, We'll split up and meet at that post exactly after one hour, alright? one hour.'

"Got it."

With that, we split up.

I headed towards to the more densely crowded area and started shouting with my thoughts.

'Kinoko?! Kinoko?! Where are you?!'

I couldn't hear shit since the crowd so noisy. It was then did I realize my mistake.

As people bumped into me, the cover on my tails got looser and looser.

Shit.

And I was exactly right in the middle of the crowd. If you want a picture of how many people, well maybe people crossing in Tokyo city will do.

Imagine that but twice or even thrice as much.

I couldn't tell much but there is hella lot of people here.

I was starting to panic since one knot has already been loose.

Fuck...

If I stay here, the cover will soon get loose but if I keep moving the chance of the cover to looser is faster and higher.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Thud!

Shit!

Who's the bastard?! I glared immediately to the bitch.

"U-uwaaaaa!"

Crap. It was just a little kid. He was about 8-7 years old. Wearing neat and tidy clothes so I assume that he isn't homeless.

Fuck.

"Uwaaaa!"

His crying started to gather the attention of people.

Damn it.

Fuck this shit, I got no time for kids.

Out of impulse, I just went to move forward, away from attention.

But THEN!

Woosh!

This little kid pulled on the cover!

Woosh!

With that, my tails were exposed.

Fuck.

Ruri's POV

-

It's been an hour since my agreement to meet here with Haru.

Jeez, what's taking him so long?

I tried looking on the west side of the town buy I found nothing.

I also couldn't communicate with Kino-chan by telepathy.

Where is he.....

"Hey.. did you hear?"

"What is it?"

Those women sure like to gossip loudly huh?

"They said they found a four tailed fox in the middle of town!"

"Wait.. really?! you mean the fox from the legends?"

"Yeah! but we still aren't sure though. The knights immediately apprehended and captured it. Surprisingly, it didn't resist. "

"Woah... that's scary. Wait a second.. isn't a multiple tailed fox the pet of the Demon Lord?!"

"Yes! that's why everyone in the town is alarmed! If the fox is here then the Demon Lord must be alive again!"

"Oh no-"

I immediately dashed away and started to look for him.

This can't be.

Damn it!

We shouldn't have been so careless.

"Yeah! it was so pretty! it had a soft white fur!"

Damn, everyone in town is talking about it....

Where is he?!

I took a pause and decided to ask one of the bystanders.

"Do you happen to know where the knights took the four tailed fox?"

"Oh? uh, I think they were heading to the dungeon."

"Thank you."

"Would you like to try some- and she's gone."

The dungeon?

Crap, once Haru goes inside that thing, there's no way out!

After asking around for directions, I finally found the entrance towards the dungeon.

It was located somewhere on the bottom of the mountain.

Guards were surrounding the entire place while on the entrance was a noble's carriage.

Is that?

I saw a fat well dressed man step outside a long with a couple of knights acting as bodyguards.

Isn't that the town lord's pig son?

Tsk.

It seems the news has already reached them.

How do I sneak inside of that place...

-

Haruki's POV

-

As soon as I let the guards take me, I was knocked out.

When I came to, I already found myself inside this dark spacious place. In front of me were bars of metal, indicating that Im inside a cage.

Sigh.... this is one of the most stupidest mistakes I have ever made in both of my lives.

Imagine being-

Step.

Step.

Step.

It seems that the cage I'm placed is somewhere below, like a basement?

I could hear multiple steps descending from a far, meaning that they're heading here.

Soon the place was lit up and I could see that it really was spacious.

The size of my cage was about a whole basketball court.

There were no windows, only the steel bars placed in front of me.

Step.

Step.

Soon I saw the people who were coming down.

In the middle was a fat, ugly, noble looking bastard.

Of course.

Behind him were several knights, about fourteen?

"Hm~ fufufu... it really does look majestic as the legends says."

What is this ugly bitch talking about.

The fat ugly noble walked further, enough to be right next to the bars.

"Y-young lord! It is not advisable to get that much close to the cage!"

What's the harm? I mean if he wants me to bite his head off then I would but I also don't wanna because that would be disgusting.

"...did you just tell me what to do?"

Oh wow, typical brain dead attitude.

"N-no sir, I was just simpl-"

"GET ON YOUR KNEES AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS!"

"Y-yes my lord, forgive me!"

The knight immediately collapse on his knees and begged for forgiveness.

"Hmph, That's better. Anyway, Fox! you can understand me right?"

I decided piss him off and ignore him.

The reason I let myself get caught is because of the guards's levels. Most of them were already on the hundreds.

Fighting them right there and then wouldn't even guarantee my life nor escape.

Plus many unnecessary casualties would happen.

"Y-you... YOU DARE IGNORE ME YOU-"

Yadda, yadda, yadda... All I could hear was the fat ugly bastard screaming for about 15 minutes.

"IRK! YOU SON OF A- JANET! USE TORTURE DEVICE NUMBER 1!"

Hm?

The knight beside him then went over the edge of the cage and activated a switch.

Then shifting gears and mechanical sounds resounded throughout the whole cage.

Huh...

All of the sudden, I felt like the gravity was pushing me to the ground.

Ghk!

It was so incredibly heavy that I felt the same way as that force that Aeolus used on me, except this time, it's much more violent.

G-gahk!

I started to vomit blood as the intensity got worse and worse.

"Stop it."

Suddenly the force stoped and I was left gasping for air.

"Now.. you know how things work around here fox. First, bow down and serve me fufufu~"

I got up from the floor and since my paws has grown to some extent, I was able to pull off a middle finger to the fucker.

"What are you doing fox? you think I'm joking?! Janet! use torture device number 2!"

Fuck...

Fire suddenly surrounded the whole entire cage as it burned me alive.

FUCK!!! FUCK! FUCK!! IT'S SO HOOOOOOT!

My whole entire body was being burned alive and I was reminded of the time when I was sent to hell.

The intensity of the pain very similar towards that place, almost making me lose my mind.

GAAAAAAH! HOOOOOOOT!

"HAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOX! WHO'S YOUR MASTER NOW?! WHO'S- This won't kill it right?"

"Maybe not sir."

"Oh alright, well if it dies, I'm putting the blame on you. THAT'S RIGHT FOX! TASTE THE AGONY!"

I was continuously dropping in hp as I was being burned. I didn't lose my mind since the calming mind skill worked, however if this keeps up, I will really die here.

I already tried using my skills but it seems that mana won't form inside this cage.

I tried using my tails or any physical attacks but the whole cage was incredibly sturdy.

CLANG!

CLANG!

CRASH!

"HAHA! Look at you! desperately looking for an exit! well there isn't one! The only way for this to stop is for you to bow down to me!"

Damn it....

I'm starting to lose my consciousness..

I-

"Okay, that's enough."

With that, the fire stopped appearing and my entire body was left sizzling.

"Oh... look at that! even when it looks like a cooked rabbit, it still has enough power to regenerate! Unbelievable!"

This guy...

"Well? ready to bow down now?"

Fuck you.

I spat my saliva at the bastard's face and snickered.

"Y-y-y-you son of a.... ACTIVATE TORTURE DEVICE NUMBER THREE!"

Goddammit....

This time it was-

GAAAAAAAAH!

MY EARS! MY HEAD! THEY'RE ALL RINGING!

IT'S SO PAINFUL AAAAARGH! MAKE IT STOP! AAAAHHHHHHH! STOP IT! STOP IT! FINE! I'LL DO IT! I'LL SERVE YOUR FAT ASS! JUST MAKE IT STOP PLEASE! PLEASE!

Uncontrollable saliva was coming out of my out mixed with blood from what I think was my intestines being ruptured.

My ears was bleeding along with my eyes which cried blood.

I couldn't see anymore, darkness and pure red vision is all I could see.

Stop it...

I collapsed as I slowly lose my consciousness.

I.... I...

KILL THEM.

Huh? what was that....

MASSACRE THEM!

It's coming from my head.... It's so distorted and sinister, sounds like Satan's voice.

KILL THEM ALL!

I'm too tried to listen...

RIP THEIR ORGANS OUT!

CHEW THEIR HEARTS IN FRONT OF THEIR DECAPITATED HEADS!

I can't... what...?

I succumbed to the somewhat comforting darkness as I just let everything go.

-

DID IT WORK?

HEH... HAH.. HAHAHAHA AHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

FINALLY! NOW THIS IS LIVING!

I GOT UP FROM THE GROUND BUT WITH MY MASHED BODY, THAT'S FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE.

NO MATTER, THIS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THAT PLACE.

HEHEHEHE....

"H-hey, it's still moving!"

"Oh phew! thank god, otherwise dad will kill me. Anyway, you and you! go in there and heal that... thing."

I SEE A FAT ANT ALONG WITH MANY OTHER STEEL WEARING ANTS. SO YOU'RE THE MOTHERFUCKERS WHO JACKED UP THIS BODY HUH?

HAHA.. I SUPPOSE I SHOULD THANK YOU FOR THAT, BY TAKING YOUR LIVES THAT IS.

They began opening the cage and two ants were about to go inside.

HEHE... YOU'RE ALL FUCKED NOW.
