Abomination Contract Loving The Enemy - Chapter 35

I, however, soon find out that the problem is much, much bigger than I thought initially… for there is not only one Moth Ghoul around, nor only humans scared running away while screaming, but as many screaming ones as others being picked up and thrown around, a few others humans reacting to what seems to be a strangely coordinated attack from the ghouls to the city right at the weakest part, the most unprotected of them all, the slums.

Overconfidence from the human’s part for the outer walls and fire pit, or rather lack of interest in protecting this part of town I wonder…For even if there were walls surrounding, there were no guards on top of them, for these barriers were not meant to keep the ghouls out, but the humans in.

Like a cage.

And now the lion has stepped in, and they are all trapped with it, like feeding prey.

So as I keep the creature in front of us in my line of sight I manage to give a quick glance at our surroundings, but without proper eyesight on then nor time I’m unable to even count how many other ghouls there are shushing around the place, enjoying the feast that was supposed to be mine, and mine alone oi!

As I’m looking around a growling shout comes out of my mouth when I turn around, an odd and illegible sound coming out from my throat but enough to make Takamori look at me..

“Agra!” ‘Taka!’

But is too late to warn him for one of the creatures grows bold enough to try and steal the fancy meal right beside me, and as I try to notify Takamori first the one beside me intervenes, jumping up with claws stretched out, which makes me jump to the side and in the confusion end up taking Takamori’s places at the claws of the flying ghoul as it shushes pass us and with a quick move closes his talons around my arms in a tight grip as it keeps beating its wings away from the roof.

I’m not really worried though, after all I could kill the creature before it tried to fly way too high up, but as moths and insects the creature keeps a low altitude as I hold onto his legs with my own hands, in case it has any stupid ideas like opening its talons and letting me drop at some bullets way or something…

As it flies away with me I can hear Takamori scream but soon after he has to stop paying attention to me or anybody for that matter as the remaining Moth Ghoul attacks and forces him to defend himself, sparks soon beaconing all over his place as lightning flashes like explosions, leaving a line of exposed roots that were gone the next second, in a blink of an eye.

Very good when dealing with a light sensible creature, plus he may receive help from the guards sooner with all that ruckus he is causing.

Or even call the attention of someone else… Shit, if he really goes there I will be too far of like this, is this creature not going to drop me already? I may want to teach you a lesson but I have no intention of becoming nor losing my dinner.

So while holding his legs with my hands I twist my body and turn with all my strength, using the same breaking bones pressure in my grip to make him loosen the hold of me, and as he does so I land straight up over another roof that almost collapses under my weight and impact.

Like a beast I shake my head so the dust that sticks to my hair goes away, and as the view cleans up I can see the ghoul crouching over a part of the ceiling, like a very ugly bird would do.

With a quick sniff and almost annoyed enough to not care I conclude that the lack of humans is enough for my tail to come out and whip at the creature, that scared widen its blacken eyes and flies to the side in despair.

Only to be hit by a part of the roof that I had just kicked there.

With a howl of pain the debris hit it scares on the chest, and being such a thin creature the impact makes it gasp for air, but the small amount of time it took for him to compose himself is far more than enough for me to approach and grab his head with my hand.

He starts struggling, both hands in my arms and his strong legs hitting me on the chest, and annoyed at the distance he is manageing to put between my arm and him makes my other pair of arms to surge and hold both his legs mid-air, and still the creature doesn’t give up even when it sees his attacks rendered to naught, it let’s go with one of the hands and tries to scratch my face, only for my last free hand to grasp his arm.

Then I squish, hard, and like a balloon full of water there is almost no resistance as I start to deform his skull and mark the bone with the format of my hand, and still I keep going even after his hands and legs stop moving, when his eyes pop out, when his skull cracks and bends towards his insides, I only stop when brain matter and blood fly from it and smear all my face and body, throwing his body to the side and hiding my arms and tail once more.

I look down at my still exposed upper body, and the once cleaned skin is once more hidden in dirt and blood.

Taka will be mad at me, that thought makes me smile, but then I frown. Who the fuck cares about what Takamori thinks of it? Mendling in other people’s business like that… I snort, then spit the blood that entered my mouth on the side.

Bloody crunchy, I do not fancy a brain for dinner, rather have proper juicy meat you feel me? Getting used to the life of luxury this city is bringing me…

Though I can think of someone who I would not waste a single part of his body, even the smallest bones of his hands… And those eyes, those cold eyes would be the first thing I will eat.

I growl at the thought, excited, frustrated.

Hungry.
