BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99
—–
So we caught this idiot named Borudro, the one behind the slaughter. He was the one that created all these chimeras and also the kids themselves by bringing their souls into the world and placing them inside new bodies. I don’t know how he did it, but he used some kind of method to bring otherworldly souls here.
Laura kicked him in the face and even twisted his nose horrendously. It looked painful, to be honest! This girl packed a punch despite being rather young and small. Or, well, packed a kick.
“You’re a strong girl, aren’t you?” I asked.
“I just wanted to crush his face. I still remember all the things he made us go through… He even made us bathe in all sorts of elemental magic attacks to build up resistance to elements and pain….” Sighed Laura.
“Oh…”
However, unlike the ruthless Laura, Takeshi was just standing there doing nothing. He seemed disturbed by the scene and wasn’t attacking the man.
“Just end him already… I don’t want to see him anymore. I just want to know that it’s done,” Sighed the boy.
“Alright then, you guys don’t have to see this. Let me handle it for ya,” I said.
“Thank you…” Muttered Takeshi.
“I want to kill him myself….” Complained Laura.
“Eh? You’re sure?” I asked.
“Yeah, I am… Let me do it,” said Laura.
“Alright then, go ahead,”
I couldn’t fight against her will.
“But how will you kill- Oh.”
Laura infused mana into all the clothes the man was wearing. They were not alive after all.
“Die…” She muttered, her eyes flashing with crimson-red light.
The man hopelessly had all his mana drained by me and couldn’t attack her.
“Wait…! Y-You’re… using your Unique Skill?!” He asked.
“…”
FLASH!
Suddenly, his clothes flashed with bright red and dark light, and I quickly generated a shadow barrier just as… all his clothes blew up as if they were deadly explosives alongside the guy’s entire body.
“Gryyyyyaaaaaaagggghhh…!”
BOOOOOMMM!!!
He was completely torn apart into pieces.
I never realized her power had such a deadly technique. Technically, if the person is wearing any kind of clothes, accessories, or any “item” over their bodies, she can touch it, turning it into a bomb, and detonate it dealing direct damage.
She made all his clothes explode, so they ended up being many bombs at once. Despite her Magic being around 800, it was still deadly enough to kill him.
This girl is deadly! Now that she finally has her Magic stat at a decent level, she could pretty much be a national threat with such a powerful ability and her ways of abusing it.
Even more, thanks to Twin Connection, she can share the power with any person she wants…
Actually, thanks to her ability, I ended up awakening a new Spell named Undead Detonation, which lets me explode Undead without the necessity of touching them, but well, it only extends to Undead I’ve risen.
Now… Borudro is gone, but his soul is still here, so I grabbed it.
“GRYAGH…! L-Let me go!” He cried.
“Now, now, we can’t just do that, my good friend. I have to get as much info out of you as I possibly can! So go on, tell me everything you know! Or else… do you want your soul eaten? Without a soul, you won’t even get a chance in the afterlife,” I said.
“G-Gyyyggh…! F-Fine!”
Oh man, that was easy.
In the end, the guy spit out all he knew.
He was resigned to this place 30 years ago by the Vampires with the purpose of creating the perfect vessel of the Fragment of Evil. For some reason which not even he knew about, the Vampires wanted to create the ideal body and vessel for this power, and he was one of the few other scientists given this opportunity.
He was fed with all sorts of magical materials and resources and asked to make the perfect Homunculus. He’s also a sicko obsessed with experimenting with living and unliving and was made into a Vampire when the Vampires captured him after he was imprisoned by the Kingdom.
He actually used to be an alchemist that was caught using slaves for experiments, and even that seems to be illegal, so he was imprisoned.
The Vampires saw potential in him and then converted him into a Subordinate Vampire, making him another of their personal alchemist/necromancers for their wicked experiments. The sad part is that he barely interacted with other vampires as he is a fairly new one and only has 30 years of vampiric experience.
So he didn’t know anything else aside from that, damn it.
I decided that he only deserved to be punished for what he did, so I didn’t comply with my promise and ate his soul slowly, expanding my jaws into massive razor-sharp teeth, tearing him apart as he screamed desperately.
“No! Wait, wait, wait! You said you wouldn’t kill me! Y-you said you would let me rest in peaceeeeee….!”
“You don’t even deserve Valhalla nor Hel. You only deserve to stop existing. Be embraced by the void, smartass,” I said as I consumed him completely.
CRASH!
“GRRYYYAAGGGGH…!”
And he was gone with a last pitiful scream.
I swallowed him, and he… tasted bitter.
Uegh, will I not get indigestion with this?
Ding!
[Calculating EXP earned…]
[You gained 270000 EXP]
[Your Level has increased from Level 33 to Level 34!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 34 to Level 35!]
[EXP: 60000/120000]
Damn, his body and soul gave out some nice EXP. Also, it’s nice that everyone else also got some shared EXP out of that and leveled up some more.
“Phew, now that we are done here, what should we do?”
“I want to sleep for now….” Sighed Laura.
“Me too… I am tired….” Also sighed Takeshi.
The two kids seemed quite tired, and I didn’t blame them. I made them work hard by killing our half-dead prey, and it’s already late at night.
“Alright then! Let’s go back to the Inn, and we’ll leave you to sleep there with some friends watching over you. Then I’ll come back,” I said.
