"Here." an outreached arm that ever shivered visibly offered.

"Well, thank you." The Blood Sovereign had shown finesse in front of such upstanding behavior. One drag was all it took for him to empty the 12 ounces of cold beverage.

​​

Though it paled to compare to the blood of divine beasts that he was so fond of drinking in the Undying Domains but the experience has brought about a sense of nostalgia unto his soul.

The Blood Sovereign was indeed pleased to taste this mortal product once more.

"Let me repay your kindness with an equal boon." The Blood Sovereign said mysteriously and opened his palm with the empty bottle on top.

"CREAK!" a cracking sound audibly announced its presence and before anyone could react, the bottle had already disintegrated into tiny bits and pieces.

After that, a rain of flesh and bones fell down on each and everyone of the room like weightless feathers gently settling on fresh lands.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"HOWARDDDDDD!!!"

the rest was still processing what had happened but the most daring and courageous of them all has immediately taken this chance to dash towards the unmoving figure of Julian.

"To have the guts to kill, you surely are amongst the few determined ones Don." The Blood Sovereign gave credit to evil as he was a great admirer to the value of strength above all.

But even as he uttered the words out, the agile and resolute charge of his subject filtered through time in a rather slower motion than what the laws of this world was used to.

There were still 3 precious steps that Don had to take before he could successfully plunge the hungry short knife that had once taken the life of The Blood Sovereign.

"Sadly, i will have to burden you with an eternity of pain as reward for the gift that all of you have given me." At this time, the sharp knife was already at the left chest of the Blood Sovereign.

One more push and Don's efforts would have paid dividends and borne fruit at the heart of his target.

Alas, that inch was akin to billions of light years away for a mere mortal to unbound the influence that suffocated such wishful endeavor entirely.

"A pity." The Blood Sovereign sighed and six dark blobs went out from his mouth. They seemed like black transparent bubbles at first glance but the same could not be said for its use.

The 6 inky orbs went to pair with the 6 boy's in attendance.

A breach formed from the nearest living circle and a fanged mouth with a slimy lithe tongue slithered along the rows of sharp teeth its produced.

Though a malicious set of eyes were lacking from the unnerving monster that threatened everyone in The Blood Sovereign's vicinity,

the fantastical creatures still has not failed to promise its sinister desires unto the fold.

"NOOOOO!!!"

"PLEASE!!!"

"IT WAS ALL DON'S IDEA, JULIAN!!!"

"WE ARE INNOCENT!!!"

"DON'T!!!" the usually tough guys pleaded, cried, and one even peed in his pants due to extreme fear.

The picture of a monster devouring Don's body piece by piece, was a memory of horrors and not one often seen.

Perhaps it was good and pretty in the movies but when it stepped upon the boundaries of reality, what was once a laughing matter turned out to be too ghastly to witness in real life.

And the boys' fears multiplied when a corresponding innocent blob of pure dark which appeared cute and comfy, was now slowly floating towards a partner of its own.

"PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!"

"MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Every depressing call was heard only by deaf ears. It only took 4 minutes before only one lovely monster was licking the immobile bitches on the floor.

Of course these ladies for rent were not stupid to not run nor make a sound, it was just they were rendered motionless by a mystique applied by The Blood Sovereign.

Thus, they remained mute witnesses to the crime.

Not a few has not cried and pissed on their mini skirts and alluring dresses as they thought that the lone active fat circular monster would also eat them alive.

Luckily, this greedy blob was only here to finish the task that it was commanded.

Since these women were all bathing in the blood and flesh of the recently exploded body of Howard, there was a need for the cute guy to eat all the traces that was left of poor Howard.

From the littlest bit of hair to the last ounces of crimson liquid, this faithful soldier of death would not stop until these bodily components were gathered in full down its belly.

These creatures infamous even in the Undying Domains. They were famed Soul Catchers. These obedient slaves was a summon from the blazing domains of Hell and trapped any soul it devoured.

Ten more minutes of careful cleaning and...

"HELPPPPPPPPPPPP!" Ten hysterical women went out of the private room to breathe the air of familiar normality once more.

20 minutes afterwards, a team of armed policemen has visited the crime scene with not even a single fingerprint to be had, may it be from The Blood Sovereign or anyone else's for that matter.

The room could not have been more spotless than the present.

"No one's inside, Captain!" a big man reported to his superior.

"Check the rest of the rooms. Be thorough!" a man who wore his uniform with pride and ability instructed without missing a beat.

He was about to call for the witnesses to do some initial interrogation on site but an agitated voice broke his chain of thought.

"CAPTAIN! YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THIS!" a beautiful young lady rushed from downstairs and had almost slipped on the floor due to her haste.

This was the police rookie Mei Willow who was supposed to cordon the premises downstairs.

"What is it?" the Captain's forehead wrinkled in the rookie's blatant breach of protocol.

"Sir!" Miss Willow could not fathom the words to say so she had only given her cellphone in response.
