Benladann glanced at the man in front of her, as he exuded the power of a Rank 2…

"This guy… He's quite strong," she said.

"Indeed, perhaps we'll take a bit more to kill him," said Drake.

The Ice Giant in front of them, was sitting over a throne made of bones, his face was ugly, and he had a big scar in the middle of it, with a bald head, and two large tusks sticking out of his lower jaw, he looked more like an Orc than an Ice Giant…

Azahunn was rather shocked.

Who the heck were these people and how did they get inside of his hideout all of a sudden?!

"What…?! Who are you?!"

Azahunn quickly jumped out of his throne, his body size almost reaching three meters of height, as his chest emanated a strong mana aura from within.

Drake quickly appraised him, finding out he was a Rank 2 Initial Stage, his magic seemed to be Metal Magic, a rare type of element that derives from the Earth Element. It let him do a variety of things, such as covering his skin with metallic-like coverture or summon metallic ores. Although he had to yet master a way to summon weapons out of it right away.

However, metallic spikes and the like seemed to be possible to create, somehow.

Benladann and Drake, however, noticed something else. Within the shadows of the room, there were many bodies spread around. After some milliseconds of inspection, they learned that these nude bodies were of many Ice Giant, Ice Elf, and Beast-kin women of varied ages… They seemed unconscious, and others… had already passed away.

What kind of grotesque monster was this bastard?

Drake quickly noticed the truth behind what had happened to them, after seeing how they looked and… the disgusting substances within their lower parts, he began to boil in wrath, while Benladann seemed to not understand the full context yet, but still saw this as horrible.

"We should have come earlier!" cried Benladann.

Drake was in silence as his entire body exuded an aura of pure death and ice, a terrible combination that permeated the entire room with the coldness of death, such coldness even affected the resilient Azahunn, whose body began to tremble in fear.

"W-What the heck are you?! If you came to my hideout and killed my people, then you're more than dead!" roared Azahunn, as his entire skin suddenly turned dark gray, coating himself in the Steel Skin Magic Spell, as he rushed towards Drake with all his might!

"Drake!"

Benladann alerted Drake of the charge of Azahunn as Drake suddenly exploded!

BOOM!

And before the smoke of his explosion, his dragon form had emerged on all its splendor, Azahunn suddenly stopped in the middle of his charge as his eyes popped out of its sockets in horror!

"Eeeeeh?! A-A D-Dragon?!"

"GGGRRRRAAAAAAAAA!"

Drake roared monstrously as he caught Azahunn with his gigantic and sharp claws, slashing him into the ground!

CLASH! CLASH! SLASH! SLAHS! CLAAAASH! BOOOM!

"UNNGGRAAGGH…!"

Azahunn vomited mouthfuls of blood as his steel skin was of no use against Drake's incredible might, his claws began to slice through his flesh, as he shielded himself with several walls made of ore only to have them destroyed in an instant! Azahunn quickly started to grow desperate as Drake's berserk-like charge seemed endless!

"GAAARRGH..!"

CLAASH!

Drake suddenly slashed him into the left, as Azahunn flew into the air and hit the walls, making the entire hideout tremble!

BOOM!

"Ungh…!"

Azahunn's entire body fell over the floor as he was coated in enormous wounds, his two arms were missing already, his chest was wide open and his legs broken, his head had several wounds as well, and his left eye had been destroyed. He looked pitiful!

"Hahh…! Haaahhh…!"

Drake gasped for air as the rage of his draconic bloodline boiled across his body, his eyes flashing with crimson-red light as he glared at the pitiful corpse of Azahunn.

"You bastard…! I am going to make you pay!"

FLAAASH!

Drake rushed towards Azahunn as he suddenly conjured a healing spell on him, surprising him!

"Eh?!"

And then, Drake used his tail in the shape of a spear to impale his entire body except for his head continuously, leaving him like Swiss cheese!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"UNNNGGRRRYYAAAGGH…!"

However, a second after, Drake used Healing Magic again, as a cooling wind healed the wounds of the Ice Giant…

Only for Drake to use his claws to slice large chunks out of his entire body, pieces of flesh began to fly away as Azahunn's entire body was being torn apart!

"AAAGGH…! AAAAAAGGHHYYYAAGHGH…!"

Azahunn's agonizing cries resonated through the entire building, as Drake continuously healed him and reattached the pieces he tore apart from him! This was a horrifying method of torture that Drake had come out with! Why give him the quick and sweet release of death if he can torture him by putting him near death several times before actually killing him?

Benladann glanced with surprise as Drake showed off the monstrosity of his very being which he usually never showed off, her eyes wide open as he saw the bastard of Azahunn being tortured, brought to almost death, and somehow healed to only be tortured again!

However, Drake grew bored after some time, as he healed Azahunn for the last time, his entire body disfigured, resembling a mass of flesh with a barely visible head…

Drake grabbed him as if he were a meatball and put him inside his jaws, using his sharp fangs to crush his entire body into mince-meat, and swallowing him!

Gulp.

However, the soul of Azahunn quickly emerged out of Drake's stomach, as Drake grabbed it with his phantom claws.

"Let me go! Let me goooo! Stop! Uuuaggyyy…!"

Drake began to slowly crush his soul as he used the jaws of his very soul to devour Azahunn's soul, like a monstrous god of death, he tortured the sinful soul, crushed it into pieces, and devoured it!

Suddenly, everything went silent for a bit, as Drake turned back to his Ice Giant Form, resting over the ground.

"Drake…!"

Benladann moved near Drake, as Drake seemed dead silent...

"I am fine… It is over, let's quickly heal the ones that are alive," said Drake.

"Okay…"
