《Death Incarnate (Completed)》Chapter 5: Time to collect a debt!
Advertisement
Cal ended up sleeping at a friend's home due to how pack the shack was. Once night descended, Kei wanted to discuss the matters of the future with his slaves and sort of wife.
Bridget was still weak nor can she talk, so she was laid down on her back and just listened in. Polin raised a concern that only mattered to her.
"Do I have to call you master?"
"Hm... No, you're special. You call me hubby, darling, sweetie, or Kei. Whatever you see fit."
"Yaaay! Darling!"
Polin placed herself in the middle of Kei's crossed legs who was sitting on the floor. Kei then wrapped his arms around her and put his chin on her head like a stuffed animal.
Elen looked with annoyance at this strange couple. It didn't change the fact she was still a slave and Elen has doubts that he loved her, at least not in a romantic sense. Or this how demon relationship work? It's just a lovey dovey stage. This idiot mix-breed will realize her life is fucked up like everyone else.
"Master, what are you planning to do after leaving the city? I really want us to set some sort of plan because..."
"Because you want to go back to your home country, take revenge, and get your booty on the throne, right?"
Elen nodded her head even though she doesn't like how he mentions her booty. Revenge and the throne was her most desired wish.
"First, I want to iterate this again to all of you. I can be a cold bloody killer whether they be innocent or criminal. Tick me off and your head will roll, understand? I'm nice to people who are nice back. When someone is not so nice, well... You get the picture.
I know Elen and Bridget doesn't care but how about you Polin? I will kill a lot of people, would you hate me for it?"
"Hm... Nope! As long you love me then I don't care about other people!" Polin said her piece and Elen gave a slight nod.
"I want us to leave the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, I want to get an identification card from the Adventure Guild. It's a hassle to go through checkpoints without one. Then once we leave the city I have put a show to perform to display what I'm capable of. I know the both of you are quite curious if I have the power to help. Then we can talk on what to do next."
Bridget's eyes sparkled to hear that he was going to display his power. The miracle healing shocked her but for her desires, she would love to see Kei in action more than anything.
"Yes! COFF COFF Pardon me." Elen was getting too excited as well. She can feel that he was strong but fighting by himself seems improbable. He can be strong but fighting against an army of elite elves? He was her only hope to at least get back home. She was sure there was still a remnant of her family's forces and loyal followers hiding. They were all waiting for her.
"On the next topic, Elen."
"Yes master?"
"Is your collar restricting you power? Can you fight?
"You jest master. I can fight, I have the innnate constitution of the basic and rare elements: fire, water, earth, wind, healing, and light. I been taught by the best and know I at least one high level spell for each element. I'm also well verse in the bow and sword. "

Elen puffed out her chest. Kei just want to reached and grabbed them. They look so soft.
What a minute. Didn't she said she is the "master of the four elements" before. She mentioned 6.
"Then what was that back in the diner to be a master of 4? You mentioned 6 now?"
"Doesn't it sound cool with number 4 and mentioning 6 is redundant. That way I can surprise my opponents."
Maybe she does have a good head on shoulder too.
"Regarding the collar, it does limit my mana. It's up to Master to release them but ... do you trust me?"
"I'm not too worried."
Kei send a bit mana like a transmission to Elen's collar to remove the limit.
Then Elen's eyes shined like golden stars and rushing mana poured in every fiber of her being.
"Phew... I can finally feel like myself again."
Kei was expecting her to go over-the-top again but apparently she can act humble.
"Master, is it possible to get weapons?" A elite fighter like really needed some weapon to defend herself with.
"I been shunned by every business owner in the market district. What makes you think a blacksmith will want to sell a weapon to a demon or slave?" That was Kei's reply and it was the truth.
"Oh yeah."
"But don't worry my little elf."
"I'm not little! I'm 80 years old!"
"In elf years, you are little. Hahahaha!"
Elen just turned head away not wanting to talk anymore.
"Now, I need to leave. Sorry Polin but I'm going out for an errand."
"Aww~ Let me come with you. Do you want to do naughty things outside?"
Polin blushes and gripped tightly on her tunic. She doesn't have any experience in that field but as a married couple this was should be expected to do the deed whenever and wherever they want (or so she thinks).
"Don't be so hasty little wifey, there be plenty of times in the future if you want. You two as well." Kei winked in Bridget and Elen's direction.
Elen turned beet red. Endure Elen, just endure. Sexual intercourse is no big deal.
Bridget only stared at Kei and felt nothing about sex. Can she even feel pleasure anymore?
***
Kei stepped outside of Cal's shack. Kei's sixth sense had been active at all times and those stalkers kept tailing them. Now, they knew they were here and he could bring trouble for Cal.
"I know you are here. Let's get this over with."
In the speed of light, he swiftly dispose one stalker after the next. His bare hands are sharped as blades and quickly suck their corpses into his dimensional pocket. A clean and silent kill, leaving no evidence.
He doesn't care who hired them. He doesn't care if they are from a powerful organization. He doesn't care if they are doing this to support their family (he's not psychic). Anyone who crosses him will meet a bloody misfortune.
...
Kei was standing on tallest structure, looking over the town. For some reason there was a pile of hay at the bottom, why?
CAW!!
There was bird flying around. There must a nest nearby.
Now, it's time for a hunt. I'm will not forget what you did mister guard.
Kei used shadow magic to cover himself in darkness, whicj makes him look like a ninja. Then he merged into the shadows. He wanted to be more stealthy than causing a ruckus with his unnatural speed.
Kei was zipping through one shadow to the next. His first guess to where the stupid guard would be was the barracks. Kei searched around the wall to see any buildings that served as sleeping quarters. There were a few but the guard he was searching was not in one of them. Kei ended up interrogating one on duty and the target locked himself in his father's home.

After following direction, there he was, sleeping like a baby, hehehe. Kei knew the face. The smug when the guard conned him. A large mass of shadow jumped onto the guard's body. Before the guard can scream, a hand was covering his mouth.
"MMM!! MMPPH! MMMPPPHH!"
He was slowly sinking to the shadows and as hard he tried to break out of his restraint, he couldn't budge. Crying his eyes out and snot coming out of his nose, he can't imagine what fun he will have tonight.
Without anyone noticing, the guard disappeared without a trace.
***
[Undisclosed Location]
The guard certainly woken up with a slap.
"Huh. What. What's going on!?!" The guard tried to get up but was holded down with chains.
"LET ME GO!! Do you know messing with the guards is only bringing you trouble! I'm the son of the captain!"
His first instinct was to threaten his kidnapper. He had a history to used his position to get free stuff and get away with sexual harrassment once in a while. He tried to brake from his chains that is attached to his ankles and wrists. He was laying down on a cold, stone table like he was in an operating room.
"I don't think you have the right to scare me mister guard."
"Y-y-yyou! That ugly demon!"
"I'm not that ugly!"
Kei slapped him again.
"What the fuck are you doing! That's why demons should all die! If you know what's good for you, let me go and I'll forget about this!"
Then Kei snapped his right thumb.
CRACK
"Ahhhh!
Wait, wait, wait! I'm sorry for back then! I see I was wrong to mess with you. Please! I have a family! I will even pay you back that silver! No, I'll triple it!"
Then all this fingers on his right fingers are ripped off!
"AAAAHHHHHH!"
The guard tried to threaten and insult Kei. When things get turned for the worse, he tried to reconcile. He probably lie about having a family as well.
There is no need to beg since it will get much ,much worse.
The guard tried fanatically search everywhere in the room if there is an opening. The room is small, all the walls are completed made of wood, no windows, and serveral white balls of fire illuminated the room. His screams must have been heard by someone and the other guards must have notice that's he's gone! Sadly, Kei put on a barrier that no sound can escape.
Then the guard notice a woman at the corner just a few feet from where was laying down. She was breathe taking like a craved doll that even other women can't help but admire.
Brown, silky hair, her violet eyes were like glass, and milky skin but she is very skinny and tall. Like a marionette, she was barely moving.
"You monster! What have you done with her! Miss, once my comrades come we definitely find you help!"
He was really hoping for his friends to find him and maybe the woman would grateful for him. He was having useless thoughts when being in this situation. But sadly that woman was Bridget, Kei's slave and accomplice.
"Bahahahahahaha! Do you hear that Bridget!
Dude, she is a victim, but not by me. She is hear to enjoy the shooww~"
While the guard was unconscious Kei went straight back to the shack and ask if Bridget wants to see a special experiment he was doing. Bridget was very curious and very delighted, knowing what his intentions are. She wants, no, she thirsts wholeheartedly to see others suffer. It will be very pleasing to her eyes.
Kei was ignoring all the ramble and screams from the guard. He has plenty of spells that he wanted to test out.
First was the top tier healing spell - it was able to perform regeneration of his fingers!
Nighmare Eyes - the guard started freaking out and thrashing like a wild beast. What was he seeing? Was it more of a nightmare than the one he was currently in?
Insect Pheromones - a horde of insects came crawling into the room. Kei was controlling them, making them eat the guard and enter through every hole. He makes them eat his dick. They chomp and nibble every piece of it. A long centipede tried to enter into it as well. The guard actually peed himself with all these bugs on him.
He turned his head towards Bridget and she was smiling this whole time. Her mouth was shaped like a cresent moon. If there was a contest of creepy smile, Bridget won hands down.
Kei tried to make blades from various elements: ice, wind, shadow, fire, earth, lightning, wood, etc.
He used every type of blade and make work of the guard: stabbing, carving, slitting, and hacking.
After every act was performed, Kei would healed him again and again.
It has been hours and both Bridget and Kei were getting tired. The guard stopped screaming and have lifeless eyes. It was no fun no more.
"Well, mister guard I think it's time to end this. Thank you for offering your body. Now, for your eternal rest."
***
Kei left a present at the gate of the wall. Then he princess carried Bridget, taking a night stroll back to the shack.
"I hope that satisfied you Bridget. I can definitely help as long you serve me."
Bridget nodded her head. She knows what he means by serving him. She can't walk, move her arms, or even talk at the moment. She can't fight in this state or do simple chores. What else was she good for? What could she do?
She looked up towards Kei, staring in his deep, silver eyes, asking for something. She revered him. She didn't care if she died in a rat hole and she would embrace death. Then suddenly a man came before Death can ferry her away to the the unknown. He was like a god who can perform miracles, someone who hates the world as much as she does. She doesn't care about the world and wants to leisurely watch it all burn down.
After seeing how Kei tortures that man, she felt very pleased in her heart. Like finding a soulmate or a perfect partner in crime.
Kei continued to stroll through the neighborhood while carrying Bridget. The silence between the two was nothing short of ethereal. Bridget just smiled, rested on Kei's chest, and let the silent night go unspoiled.
***
[The next morning - at the gates]
"Gahhh!"
Several screams could be heard from the gates.
It was covered in blood with pieces of flesh scattered around. There was a painting of a dick with blood on the wall. An intestine wrapped around the iron gate like a bow. There were heads littering all over the place. It was the heads of the guard that Kei tortured, the ones patrolling the area, and the stalkers. It was mortifying to all who witnessed.
A few guards can't help but puked. The captain of the guard was furious.
"How the hell could this happen! Anyone give me a report!"
No one can say anything. Nobody witnessed the act, the people patrolling are dead. There was no one that can answer.
"Ahh! Lock down this town. No one enters and no one leaves!
Contact the Adventure Guild! Get the mayor!
Fucking search every creak in this town and find the culprit!
There must someone who knows something!"
He was livid, not because a few nobody guards are dead or because the feeling of being humiliated. One of those heads is his son.
"I will find you and kill you!"

Vigil's Justice (Vigil Bound Book 1)
Death is a real son of a bitch. Boyd Knight found his calling when he joined the Marines and qualified for the elite Force Recon. He’d found a tribe and a family, so when a hand grenade landed near his team, he jumped on it without thought or regret. But instead of winding up dead, he wakes up butt naked in a cave full of monsters with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. He’s been hand chosen by the Five-Faced God of Justice and entrusted with the power of the Vigil Bound. Every kill makes him stronger and thanks to the Ascendant System, Boyd can level up, unlock increasingly powerful spells, and even harness the abilities of the monsters he’s been dispatched to hunt. If he can survive the deadly shapeshifter stalking him from the shadows, Boyd’s second life promises to be even more ass-kickingly epic than his first.

8 126The Afterlife, And How To Survive It (Barely)
Larry Foulery's monotonous, directionless life changed drastically, when he got shot in the face. Reincarnated into a new world, where he has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and with the honor and dedication of an part-time fast food cashier, he is ready to face this adventure. Kinda. The story takes place in the cynical world of Afterlife, where status screens and are considered normal, and the rule of physics cry in a corner, because nobody cares about them, and they are alone and lonely, and their family hasn't called them in years. Anyways, have fun. BTW don't stare too long into the story cover. I get the feeling it stares back. I'm trying to improve my writing, so feel free to bombard me with criticism.
