Dungeon diving

Alice's POV:

----------------------------------------------------

What we saw was quite surprising. Around the dungeon were beastmen everywhere. We could see even some elves, which was a rare sight for because they rarely left their planets and their sectors. We came to know that this is a Beastmen Sector, but it seems like it had elves too, though probably not in large numbers.

Some humans think that the elves are their higher forms because they look alike. The elves are usually more handsome and beautiful too, not to mention that their strength is higher than the human's strength. This is also true about beastmen. Looking at it from an outsider's perspective, the humans were the weakest. But that wasn't necessarily the case.

Underestimating humans was a serious mistake. Humans could do terrible things to satisfy themselves or to reach their goals, but that was how they were. Their cruel and dark nature was what kept them alive even if they were supposed to be at the bottom of the food chain. Hiro was also a human and I'm also clear on that humans could do many wonderful and miraculous things.

The beastmen and elves made a little village around the dungeon and all of them were high-level cultivators. You could call this an elite force, considering that we sensed at least fifty beastmen at the ninth stage. This meant that this single village could easily destroy the Shao family. Seeing this, we realized that we were born not only in a weak sector but even where we ascended to was a weak sector. The apple and its tree...

If we ascend from this sector then this is probably going to change because probably the 3rd realm world connected to this and the similarly powerful human world right next to this is most likely connected to the same Domain Space Realm realm. (AN: First realm is the name of the next level while the second realm is THE realm itself.)

Who knows how many worlds are connected to it. If that’s the case, then the next place we are going to ascend to, is probably full of powerful cultivators. Those who were here were regulars, so upon entering the village, we were noticed immediately and our shady looking black capes only added more to our mystery. But since our tails were hanging out from under our hooded capes, no one stopped to disturb us or so that was how it was supposed to be...

Cultivators who aren’t powerful enough aren’t allowed here. Beastmen didn’t want others to take a treasure if they aren’t worthy of it. Since we didn't give off any aura because we didn't want to show off, we were targeted. These battle-hardened warriors probably thought that we are some weak chicken.

A powerful youth at the seventh stage of Space Founding Realm walked in front of us with his two friends who were at the sixth stage and wanted to grab onto our hoods, and take them off, but we simply slipped past them without even caring about him.

[Look this cliche guy. Does he really want to die that badly? I swear that if he takes off our hoods and tries to do something to you then he is going to die. No one can touch my woman!] Hiro started fuming in his mind, already planning to kill the guy for touching my hood. Of course, I wouldn't like to be touched by these lowly beastmen. Touching a dragon without its permission was a great offense!

[Fufu~ how possessive. Just like last night~ But what should I do if a female would try to climb on you? Do you think I’d let her touch you? You are my mate. It’s basic to never try to steal something from a dragon!] I remarked proudly as I felt my draconic instincts flaring up. [It’s not like I would let any woman climb on me so you don’t have to worry about it, I love only you.] Hiro was thankfully the committed type. He wouldn't be interested in any woman other than me.

[Fufufu~] I laughed happily in my mind. He was thinking things like: Why would I ever want to touch another woman when I have such a beautiful girlfriend? My mate is the best in every universe! If there are more...

“Hey! Who are you, people? We have never seen you here before, could you at least identify yourself?” The beastmen at the seventh stage started demanding answers from us. I guess he felt shamed because he was dodged so easily even though he was a 'mighty' warrior. Hmph, just a sore loser.

(AN: I’m not going to write ‘who are you beastmen’ and things like that. Just consider it as if they would think that they are beastmen, alright? Thanks... Also when I say people, it can refer to elves, beastmen, and humans alike.)

Though he still didn't move towards us. Probably now he knew that he wasn't our match, so he wanted to win some face for himself by questioning us. He didn’t dare to be rash. He wasn’t a warrior who got his power just from cultivating. He had experience and he knew that it’s better to not annoy us or else he might lose his life. It's good that there are people who understand the truth!

[At least you aren’t stupid too. That would make you totally cliche...] Hiro couldn't help but remark grudgingly. [Yeah, then all he would need is a wondering crowd and two stupid lackeys... The only problem is that this could all become true...] I remarked with a small chuckle in my mind.

Thanks to Hiro's past life I had memories about everything he knew. I wasn't alien to technologies and I wouldn't think of televisions as some kind of storage spaces... Fufu~

“What should we do to ‘identify’ ourselves? We aren’t wearing capes and hoods so that we could pull them off of our heads... I think that you should feel our auras and you can also see our tails, is that not enough? Or did you want to show off by beating us up?”

I said, while with every sentence I said, I released my aura more and more, coupled with my bloodlust. Even some ninth stage onlookers broke out in cold sweat. They realized that maybe even they couldn’t take these us on! The young looking beastmen also broke out in cold sweat and shook a bit, but just like everyone else, he too had a good composure.

Dungeons are very dangerous and he probably faced many life and death challenges in there so he wouldn’t be scared so easily from feeling my aura, though he made a surprised face upon hearing my voice. [Of course, he would be surprised. Your voice is like that of an angel. Just hearing you is enough to make me want to jump on you.] Hiro started his bullshitting.

[No, I'm not bullshitting. It's true. Should I ask him?] He continued... I'm proud of my race and I know that I'm not ugly by any means, but I don't think that I'm such a goddess... [But you are. You could be the goddess of beauty, or the goddess of sex, or the-] [Could you stop? I- I like your compliments, but please don't do it. It makes me feel weird.] I cut into Hiro's words because he just wouldn't stop.

The beastmen was still afraid of me, so he cupped his fists, apologized with respect. “I’m sorry Miss?” He asked for my name with a respectful face. So much respect, but what was weird was that it was honest! Indeed not like humans. “Alice” I answered him with a shrug of my shoulders.

“Miss Alice. I'm terribly sorry that I've stopped you on your way. This junior knows his place so I'll stop bothering you. I hope that you won’t hold a grudge against me!” He said with his head bowed down and then left.

The stronger was always the senior while the weaker was the junior. Since he now knows for sure that I'm stronger than him, he doesn't dare to be hot headed. On the other hand, I've seen curiosity appearing in his eyes as he looked at Hiro. I guess he was curious if he was as powerful as me, or who were we, and such things.

“No problem, I’m glad that you understand,” I said with a small nod as I started walking, but as something came to my mind, I turned on my heels as I said. “Oh by the way... Could we talk a bit in private?” He didn't dare to say no... “Yes.”

I realized that it's better to ask for information about this dungeon from him because there wasn't anything detailed about it in the memory crystal. Only its place... Since this guy probably knew some things about it as a regular dungeon diver, it was easier to ask him while we were at it. After we went into a tent which was his, both of us sat down conveniently, not bothering to ask for a place...

What? We are the stronger ones. If he doesn't like something then he can say it... We pulled down our hoods. It made my hair itch... but sometimes I still liked wearing it. I'm sure that it's because of Hiro. Yes, yes. He is the cause. He liked wearing hoods and now that we are bonded, his preferences are affecting me!

Upon seeing our hoods off, the guy made a happy face. [Look how much he wanted to see who is the owner of such a beautiful voice.] Hiro started speaking his nonsense in my mind once again. I know that he loved every inch of my body, but it still felt weird at such times. As at him with my shining green eyes, I said:

“If you are done with looking I’d like to ask you for information about this dungeon. That's your payment for looking so much..." He kept on looking at my face with a mesmerized face without stopping even for a moment. It was annoying so that's why I said such words. He was absentmindedly staring at me, without even considering how it made me feel myself.

“I-I’m very much sorry. You are so beautiful that I forgot about what I wanted to say.” He surprisingly answered so honestly. I have to get used to being among beastmen... Up till now, I've met only with humans.“...Honest as usual. Whatever, as long as you don’t want to woo me I don’t mind.” I remarked on his words and asked for his name: "How should we call you?"

“I wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous! And my name is Evan...” The beastmen said with a fearful face because I forced my bloodlust on him when I said the second half of my sentence. “You better not.” Hiro also chimed in at the end of our conversation, which caused Evan to have a surprised face. I bet that he completely forgot about Hiro. His face said it all. It was like: Ah! How could I forget it?!

"S-so what would you like to know?” He asked with a small stutter and a tint of red on his face. [He was looking at you so badly that he even forgot me... See? This is why you have to wear hoods, blame yourself you lustful succubus! You are a demon, not a True Divine Beast!] Hiro bullied me through our bond!

[I’m not a succubus! And who cares about him? All he can do is fantasizing about me so don’t cry over things like these.] I tried defending my purity, which was taken by Hiro long ago. I sighed loudly. I don't even think that I'm such a beauty, but it seems like that there are always guys to refute it.

“We want to know everything you know about this dungeon. We have never been to even a single dungeon so we aren’t very knowledgeable about their interiors. That’s why we came here. To gain experience and knowledge about it.” I said after my sigh as I put my right elbow on a table next to me and leaned on my right arm. I started fiddling with my hair as I kept waiting for his answer.

“Fumu- fine. I’ll tell you everything I know about its interior. So! I don’t know how the other dungeons are like since I’ve never been to another one either, but this dungeon is divided into levels. None of us are at a level which is high enough to get an accurate data about this dungeon's level, but we think that it's made up of twenty levels. Probably."

"The deepest level the others reached was the seventeenth level and it was a party of five cultivators at the ninth stage. They didn’t go lower because the monsters on the eighteenth level were as powerful as a Domain Space Realm cultivator! Probably it’s full of incredible treasures that would make even people at the third realm go crazy.”

“But be careful because if you go to that level you are most certainly going to die. The dungeon is spreading downwards. On each level, until the fifth level, there is a maze and these mazes are full of monsters. The lowest and weakest monster you can find in this dungeon is at the fifth stage. From the fifth level downwards it’s made up of chambers and there are traps and monsters too.”

“From the fifteenth level, they said that each level is a tiny world. It was said that the fifteenth level is a desert, the sixteenth is a jungle, the seventeenth is a snowy world and the eighteenth is an undead world full of ghosts, wraiths, ghouls and zombies."

"Those who went that far didn’t go to the eighteenth level because they weren’t powerful enough, but they saw from the door the auras of those monsters and they said that they were probably as powerful as someone in the third realm!”

“Also, on every level there is a monster which is more powerful than the others and you can’t go through the doors before killing it. Those are the real deals! It’s much harder to beat them. That’s all I know about this dungeon. I hope that it was satisfying enough.” He finished his long and detailed explanation.

It was exactly what we were looking for! “Yes! Thank you very much, now if you don’t mind we are leaving," I said, already standing up and holding onto Hiro's hand to leave. [Even though we are going to leave even if he minds? How polite of you, my.little.succubus!] Hiro kept on with his stupid nickname.

[*growl* Foul creature!] I growled in my mind jokingly. He was disgracing the dragon race! Stupid Hydra! Hydra's are all stupid and foul and evil! They are also unfair! I thought as I bit on my nail and looked at Hiro who just wouldn't budge and stands up...

[Says the woman who was thinking about our next ‘event’ while this guy was sincerely talking to you. I had to listen to him all alone. Could you repeat what did he say to you?] Hiro was evil enough to point out such a thing!

[That’s! H- He said that-] I started searching in his mind for the things he said, but I was caught... naturally. [Do you think that I don’t know that you are reading it from my memory? I can feel it.] He stopped my futile attempt by saying so. I tried denying it, though! [N-No! It’s not true... Uuh- this is so unfair! S-So let’s go and prepare for-] Before I could continue my thoughts, he cut into my words and said:

[The night.] [-the dungeon...] I finished at the same time as him. Stupid Hiro... I'll punish him for this! When Hiro was done with teasing me, we wore our hoods, left Evan's tent and went towards a vendor looking beastman.

“Hello! What do you sell?” Hiro asked even though it was clear... Everything was in front of him. [Stupiiid Hirooo~] I sang in my mind, but he took revenge by attacking my *cough* through our bond... But I was strong enough to hold my voice!

“Whatever you need! I have maps, weapons, armors and even some pills.” The vendor said with a businesslike face. “Eh- we need maps. The others we have, hehe.” Hiro said with a small laugh as he scratched his chin. It's not like he had a beard. We, cultivators, didn't have hair on our bodies, except on our head...

“About which floor?” The vendor asked with raised brows, but upon hearing Hiro's answer he furrowed them and he bent his back backward slightly, out of surprise. “All of them.” “!?” The vendor was really surprised...

“Young people sure are reckless! Please don’t rush into your deaths and consider this again!" He advised us kindly while he was massaging his forehead. “... We aren’t idiots. We aren’t going to go to the bottom immediately. Do you think we want to die or what? We appreciate your kind warning, but we aren’t a suicide squad," I answered him honestly with a small smile.

(AN: N-no... this isn’t a reference. I swear that when I started the sentence I had no idea about its end!)

“Oh- okay. Sorry then. If you really want to buy so many maps, then it’s going to cost quite a fortune though. Do you have the money to buy it?” He questioned us as he was already rubbing his palms together with his eyebrows raised.

Hearing this Hiro took out our money and showed it to the vendor. Our bag was full of gold coins. Only leaders of big organizations had this much money. Seeing this the vendor was happy. We have gained a lot from the Shao family...

Although money didn’t matter too much to cultivators here, but in the higher realms, we could still use the same kind of money we use here. If we could accumulate a lot of money here, then when we ascend, we could easily buy powerful elemental weapons and armors from that money, though we need only the metal and herb. We can do the other.

The vendor calculated the price and after telling it to us, we bought it. He was a beastman. He wasn’t like humans who would try to despicably, cheat us out of our money. He was a prideful beastman! We also bought a tent since we might need it in the future.

Now that we have gained the map to the labyrinth on the first five floors and also about the chambers on the other levels, we were happy. Even some traps were shown on these maps. Of course, their location kept changing and not all of them were known, but it was still better. Using our mind powers, both of us easily learned the details of the maps and then burnt them to ashes.

It’s not like it was necessary to us anymore and why would we let others use it freely when we paid for it? Afterward, we went toward the dungeon immediately. It’s not like we were tired because of shopping and talking. It’s entrance was about the size of normal sized house. It was like a cave entrance, but it wasn’t a cave but a dungeon!

When we went through the dungeon entrance we walked for about two minutes downwards when we first saw a little room with a door. When we opened the door, we saw the first level of the dungeon. There was indeed a labyrinth just like Evan said. Thanks to the map, in just half an hour we easily reached the end of this level.

We didn’t have to search for the right way, so it was quite easy and since these monsters were at low levels, they didn’t pose any threat to us. After slaughtering our way through the labyrinth, we found the first boss. It was said that whenever someone kills a boss, then it is possible for the boss to change into a magical artifact!

This was also possible for normal monsters in the dungeon, but they rarely dropped anything, and even then only small things. Though they could still drop some pills at least, which was very good for these cultivators since pharmacists were very rare in this realm.

The first ‘boss’ was a lion at the sixth stage. We made short work of the monster, which then changed into a pill. This pill was good for healing your body which was quite a good thing for normal beastmen, but to us, it didn’t amount to much. We would heal anyway in a short time, though it would still be useful if we would get a larger wound.

Then we went down to the next level, which was also cleared out in about thirty-five minutes and we found the boss easily, this time as well. It was a jaguar looking monster, but it had two heads and a big spiky tail which looked really dangerous. This one was still only at the sixth stage, though at the peak of it, but it was still easy to kill with our strength.

This one has dropped a low-level ring, which pulled in the universe energy towards its owner making their cultivation easier. I could also make things like these, so it didn't account for much. I put it on my finger after Hiro told me to do so. Thanks to his numerous minds, it wouldn't make any difference... Stupid Hydra.

Even if he has to progress a bit slower because of me, he doesn’t mind. He wouldn’t leave me here even for god’s sake if there is any, not to mention such a reason that he could progress a slightly bit faster. These parallel minds worked at the same time and worked as if there were four of him. Both of these minds had the same feelings and thinking process but they were four.

This meant that for example while fighting, he could easily make two actions at the same time. Humans, beasts, monsters, it didn’t matter what they were, but if they can’t split their minds then all they could do was a single action at the same time.

Especially if it’s a continuous process. Let’s say he wants to hit with his right first, then kick with his left leg. Others could only hit and then kick, but this wasn’t the case for Hiro. He could hit and kick at the same time. This is why earlier I mentioned how unfair he is. Especially since he is going to have even more parallel minds and quicker regeneration.

Indeed he was a disgusting kind of mythical beast, but at least I'm not going to be any weaker in my monster form! Like this, hours went by as we advanced downward, killing everything we found on the way. Since we were in the dungeon there wasn’t sunlight so we didn’t know what time it was, but it was likely that it was already dark, so they set up the tent between the fifth and sixth level resting room.

There were resting rooms between every level where dungeon divers could take a rest. This was really convenient for everyone because like this we didn’t have to fear monsters attacking us at night. These monsters were created by the dungeon and they were made up of Universe Energy. Also, these monsters had cores always at the center of their bodies.

All of these monsters were created and also controlled by the dungeon core. If the dungeon saw a person who was good at fighting and seemed to be talented then it would drop better rewards to them while people with lower talents would get shittier items even if they killed a strong boss.

The core saw and felt everything on its territory and this is how it worked. Most likely it was configured like that by its creator, but most of the people here probably didn’t know about this. This was in our inherent memories. I guess this is a high-class knowledge...

When we reached the resting place, we saw that there were two more tents and two groups of five people making it into a group of twelve, counting us. Probably a team of five was the usual party size. They saw us entering the resting room without even a single speck of blood on us.

Even our black capes were completely clean making it clear that we weren’t the kind of weak person who would come here because of these low-level floors. The boss we killed on the fifth level was already a peak seventh stage boss showing how it was getting harder for the weak people to descend lower in this dungeon.

Those who were resting at this place were mostly at the eighth stage and two were at the ninth stage. I'm sure that now they are thinking that their groups are much stronger than ours and they even had the numerical advantage, so they didn’t fear us. Those two groups set up a little fire and all of them sat around it.

They were loudly chatting for a while before finally going to sleep, though while they were loudly chatting some other people were feeling good very silently in their tents... No, it wasn't us. They are a quite opened... group.

Alright, I'll be honest, I'd die without Hiro, so we too did it, but we were very silent! We also set up a sound barrier in our tent so no sound escaped. It felt exciting. What I don't understand is, why is it that they still came to bother us? We knew that they have even better smelling than humans so naturally, we covered our fragrance too. A wind barrier was good for many things!

They came over to our tent and pulled open its entrance meanwhile. We were already sleeping when this happened, so Hiro woke me up. [Hey, Alice wake up. I think that we are in a pinch. I don't know what do they want from us, but I have a feeling that it's nothing good.]

[Mmm- why do they want to die? I wanted to sleep. Have they never heard of the saying to never wake up a sleeping dragon?] I mumbled in my mind sleepily. [I think it’s better if we prepare for a fight, just in case.] Hiro said anxiously as he was already reaching for his weapon. I also followed after him. That's when we saw the entrance of our tent, being pulled open.

“Hello~ You see, we have become quite ‘excited’ so we thought about borrowing your woman if you don’t mind alright? I mean I don’t want to force her to do something like that... We could simply enjoy ourselves!”

While he was talking I felt it. I felt how Hiro’s mind was darkening from the rage he felt along with his face. I didn’t take this insult any better. I guess they felt the fragrance of my body and that's how they knew that I'm a woman. Since we didn't have our hoods on, they also saw us.

“Oh man! Look at her! Hey, you should join us and leave this guy. Or he can just simply come with us and share you with us haha! We wouldn’t mind that either!” One of the two beastmen at the ninth stage who stood in the entrance said with his creepy laugh.

Beastmen were quite open minded about things like these... But asking Hiro about something like this was tantamount to death. He would never let anyone even touch me, not to mention about ‘sharing’ and they even insulted our love by saying what they said right in front of us! I felt that both of us felt a towering rage in our bodies.

We might be lustful, but our love was pure. Having sex with the one you love is natural, yet they dared to insult our love, our pure loving feelings for each other!? Hiro wasn’t a dragon, he was a Hydra, but he had a similar mindset. Trying to take something which is his? Then face the consequences!

As a murderous spirit was surging around him, he activated his battle form, along with me. He has grown a pair of wings on his back, his canine teeth have grown out, his arms and legs have become covered in black scales as a liquid like green energy was flowing among his scales. The tip of his tail has become covered in spikes and he has also grown sharp and long claws.

Exactly the same kind of mutation went through my body. Our battle forms were very similar, but my tail ended in an axe instead of his spiky bludgeon like tail. Seeing our transformation, the beastmen were startled, but they didn’t have too much time to react.

[Alice... Maybe you shouldn’t see what I’m going to do to them, but you know it all too well. You know my dark side, my everything. I have nothing to hide from you.] Hiro said as darkness was taking over his mind. I felt his wrath which couldn't be soothed unless he killed its cause.

[What are you talking about?! Do you think I would just stand by and listen to this insult? They may didn’t try to touch me yet, but who cares? We both know what they would do to me even if I were ‘disobey’ them. I’m not a tame sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They are going to learn the consequences of challenging the prestige of a True Dragon God! I’m going to make them suffer!”

I thought as I felt a burning wrath in my throat. It was time to act, to slaughter and to torture those who didn't know their places. Both of us broke out of the tent as we used their claws to attack these dead men. Although they were stronger than humans, but they were, on one hand, caught unprepared and on the other hand, they weren’t as strong as us at the sixth stage in our battle form!

(AN: 110 as base * 1,15 because of battle form = 127) As we attacked, Hiro pierced the left one right through his stomach while I have done the same, but to the beastman on the right. Their blood was spilled on the ground and on our claws. “Guh-gaaarh! You fucking bastards. We just wanted to play with you!” They shouted with a pale face.

“You’ve made your biggest mistake when you thought of ‘playing’ with my woman. You should have killed yourself before coming to us. Now you are going to suffer!” Hiro shouted with a dark and cold face as he stood in front of them. They kept trying to put back their guts while they were lying in front of us.

We turned towards the other eight people, who were pulling out their weapons, while two of them were already charging at us. Since the two at the ninth stage were taken care of, for now, we mostly focused on them, but Hiro controlled one of his minds to look out for possible incoming sneak attacks.

As the two that charged at us, got closer, they swung their blades at us. We also used out weapons to attack. There came a thirteen colored light out of our blades, which swept those two aside and almost killed them on the spot.

If we used our Space Energies and sent them into our weapons, then we could amplify its passive ability even more. Hiro also enchanted all of our weapons with Hardness, Sharpness, Energy Accumulation and Energy Stealing.

Energy Accumulation made it possible for our weapons to accumulate some energy which we could use while battling. This would come handy if we would fight for a long period of time. The last one was an enchantment that on contact would always suck a bit of energy out of its target adding it to the owner of the weapon. This was a miracle weapon with four enchantments!

I also inscribed them with four runes, which were Regeneration which made the owner’s regeneration faster or it could regenerate even the blade itself. Blast, which shot out some, or even all of the accumulated energy from Hiro’s enchantment, creating a powerful shockwave, which could kill weaker or at least stun more powerful cultivators.

Confusion, which automatically consumed our mind powers and activated a mind attack. This was very deadly for those who didn’t have a sea of consciousness. The last rune was called Devour. This rune, upon activation, would consume everything in a two meters radius, except the owner of the weapon.

But it came with a price and that the owner would blank out for about two hours upon using it. Two runes worked with Space Energy while the other two with Mind Energy but Devour would consume so much Mind Power that we would blank out. As those two successfully dodged the passive attack of our weapons, all they saw were one-one blade coming for each of their head.

Both of them got beheaded at the same time. Blood was spraying out of their necks as their heads rolled on the ground. The remaining beastmen upon seeing this realized that they have poked the wrong monster. I rushed towards the beastmen at the back, while Hiro attacked those at the front.

Using the passive power of our weapons while pouring more energy into them, we easily shot those beastmen to the death. Some were burned to death alive while some were cut by wind or ice blades severing them into two parts as their guts spilled out of their bodies.

One of them was trying to put back his guts into his stomach while he kept coughing blood, but it was for naught as Hiro came in front of him and thrust his claws right through his eyes into his brain. His powerful and sharp claws made mincemeat out of his brain and head. It was a terrifying view to behold.

Some were skewered by stone spears coming out of the ground. We made incomparable pieces of equipment for ourselves, which made it easy for us to completely overwhelm our enemies.

Only the two at the ninth stage were still alive. They had a high tenacity so they didn’t die just from being pierced through their stomachs. They could still recover. They probably felt hope, but it soon turned to despair as they saw their friends being slaughtered. The whole room was reeking from the smell of blood as body parts and blood was everywhere.

Even a normal pig had a lot of blood not to mention eight two meters tall big, muscular beastmen. Hiro went in front of them and looked into the terrified eyes of those two, prideful beastmen. Our eyes were still in slits. As blood was dripping from our weapons and claws. We probably looked extremely terrifying.

Those two fell on their butts, completely losing their cool. This wasn’t how beastmen were supposed to be. They felt like they were only playful cubs in the clutches of real predators! The true gods of their races! There wasn’t much knowledge about True Divine Beasts and many people didn’t even know about us in the lower realms, but beastmen knew it better.

Because some beastmen said that these True Divine Beasts and Divine Beasts are their higher forms! Just like how humans thought about elves. They probably realized our origin and they also felt so much fear because of our mind attacks. We kept torturing their minds.

“You dared to try touching Alice, now you are going to pay the price for it,” Hiro said with an extremely cold voice with a dark face. His bloodlust was overflowing which terrified these little pups. “N-no please- ARRGH!” The wanted to beg, but Hiro didn't wait for them. Although Hiro is weak to begging people, but he didn't care about them at such a time.

He pushed his claws into their stomachs and used it to tear them apart. His left hand for one guy while his right hand for the other guy. They screamed in pain as their guts flowed out of their stomachs. Hiro also moved his claws to cut their crotch apart. They screamed at this and blanked out from feeling so much pain.

All this while, I was the one attacking their minds, to cause more pain for them... As revenge, I was the one to kill both of them. I made them wake up with my mind power and then I said before killing them. “Filthy shit. Trying to force yourself on a woman? You should be happy to die with only this much.”

I put my claws on their chest and pierced them, then I moved my hands slowly upward, reaching their necks and heads, cutting them into two halves as a result. Afterward, we both used death magic to completely erase their bodies and blood.

While dark magic caused people and things to rot or corrode, death magic straight ‘destroyed’ any kind of living organism upon contact. After cleaning up, we snuggled up to each other and went to sleep in our tents with a worse mood than before, but we slept calmly anyway.

(AN: I hate rape. Yeah I’m a male but I just don’t understand what’s so good when you see a woman as she suffers and struggles in that way. Please don’t come with hentai to me where they are literally enjoying it. I hate even that though... I might be a perverted guy, but I have my morals and ideals. I’m as complicated as the lot of you out there in the world. :)

I’m going to tell you now how hilarious I am. Not tragedy to me: Parents dying, friends dying, side characters dying. Tragedy to me: Mother raped, sister dying or raped, actually anyone close to the MC raped. The MC dying, the heroine dying or raped. Totally no go. Any of these means complete abandoning of the story for me... See? How weird it is? The mother can die, but can’t be raped. People are weird or maybe just I’m the weird one? :P)
