《Tales of Idiots.》30 - Deadly Monster
Advertisement
"Cerberus, kill him."
Cerberus growls and leaps at Ordell, all three jaws wide open. Ordell tried to dodge but one of Cerberus' heads had chomp onto his right arm and began thrashing him around.
The three-headed hound's other heads also try to latch onto the monster, their teeth leaving wounds on Ordell which quickly heals.
Ordell was sent flying to the ground as one of his arms was left in one of Cerberus' mouths.
"Urgh..." Ordell stood up, he then notices that the tubes that were embedded in his back began to crack and broke, causing the liquid inside it to spill out.
"No...No...No," Ordell whispers in horror. His body then begins to twist and warped as he screams in pain.
"What the fuck..." Cyan mutter in horror as he backs away. Drake stops bandaging Lester's wounds as he and Lester look on in horror.
Basil tightens his grip on his hammer.
Lupin tightens his grip on Betty while Peter narrows his eyes as he orders Cerberus to stop as the detective watches Ordell struggle and scream in pain.
Some of the mutated man's limbs began to grow until they were larger than his body and look like it was ready to explode.
That was until a syringe stabs him in the head and injected the content inside with the same green liquid that was inside the tubes that were embedded in Ordell's back. This caused Ordell's entire body to go back to normal.
This surprised the adventures, innkeeper, and detective and caused them to ready their weapon. Lupin fires Betty, sending bullets flying toward Ordell.
The bullets were cut in half in mid-air as a cloaked figure leap in front of Ordell, sheathing what appears to be a katana.
"How...Pathetic."
The cloaked figure looks straight toward the group of adventurers, innkeeper, and detective. He then proceeds to toss his cloak off, he wore a mask that covers the bottom half of his face, shoulders, and elbow pads, which was mostly leather armor with the chest plate made of steel.
However, the most notable thing about him was the amount belts that he was wearing. In fact, the belt went all the way up to his chest.

"It's the belt guy," Lester said as Drake handed his crossbow back to him. "Say, do you have my knives and bombs on ya?"
Drake shook his head. "Couldn't find your bombs, but I do think he has your knives on him. Hey, Lupin, do you have Lester's knives on you?" He yells.
Lester just groans as he remembers the incident that happens between the beastsman and one of his bombs. He had to spend all day doing chores.
Lupin hands over Lester's knives to him, which were about the size of someone's arms and were more like a machete than a knife, but Grimmnarl insisted that they were knives and not machetes.
Though Lester couldn't see the differences at all. After all, they were both pieces of sharpen metal.
"...Time...For...You...To...Die."
The cloaked figure was revealed to be the belt guy who had threaten the Bronze Turtle to deliver the bomb, start to rush toward them but Cerberus leap at him.
The belt guy dodges and grabs the snake tail that lunging at him, ready to fill him full of venom, and punch Cerberus into the wall, causing the hound to whine in pain.
He then turns around, drawing his blade out of its sheath, and cut bullets in half and continue running toward them at an alarming speed, while cutting down any bullets or arrows that were end toward him.
Basil ran at him, swinging his hammer in an upward motion at the belt guy. The belt-wearing swordman slams his foot onto the hammer, sending it to the ground and making a small crater in the process.
"Impressive strength, but not enough," the Belt guy remark as Basil struggles to lift his hammer. He raises his blade to cut Basil in half, he tilted his head, dodging a bullet, and had to leap away from Basil when Lester came charging in, slashing his knives at him.
"Fuck you, you belt-wearing bastard."
Lupin was running in with Brick, firing Betty at the belt guy, and readying a punch with Chad. Drake and Cyan were opening fire on the belt guy, while Peter whose face was pale, whistle, and Cerberus who lift itself out of the wall and charges at the belt wearing swordman.

They were surrounding him from all sides.
"Do...Not...Call...Me...Belt...Guy...Or...Belt...Bastard...My...Name...Is...Luther," The belt guy growls. Luther ducks under Lupin's fist, causing the wolf beastman to punch Brick and uppercut the beastman, causing him to be stuck in the roof and Brick crashing into the wall.
He then blocks and dodges all of Lester's attacks and bullets before slashing at his chest. ripping his clothes, and making blood gush out of the wound.
This Lester stumbles, covering his wound with his hand, Luther then proceeds to roundhouse kick the adventurer all to the ground next to Drake's feet, causing the sniper to start bandaging his wounds.
Luther then slams his foot back onto Basil's hammer.
Basil abandoned his hammer and tries to punches him, launching a flurry of punches. All of them miss, as Luther dodges them all and swings his katana, causing blood to spill out of Basil's chest.
Basil fell to his knees and Luther was about to cut his head but couldn't when Drake, Cyan and Peter fire bullets on him.
"Urrrggghhh..." Lester groans as he struggles to stand up, reaching for his knives, his chest wounds now all bandaged but it still hurt. "Couldn't have used a potion?"
We ran out of them when healing your face."
"Ah."
Lester stood up, his knives now in his hands. The knives have cracks all over it and the cracks continue to spread before the knives broke into tiny pieces of metal.
"Fuck," Lester curses and grab his crossbow, load a bolt in it and began firing it at Luther as he began moving toward Basil.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Cyan was hiding behind debris and was shooting at the Luther, his bullets doing nothing. "We're doing anything to him!"
"What about your spells?"
"They don't do anything to him! [Guided Shot] does nothing since he can just cit my bullets in half and [Eagle Shot] just make my eyesight better!"
"Don't you have more spells?"
"I don't any other spells!"
"What?"
"I never said I was good at magic."
Luther was deflecting or cutting down any bullets or bolts without any effort as he dodged Cerberus's attempt to tear him apart or turn him into ashes.
"Quite impressive for someone to be able to summon Cerberus, the Guard Dog of Underworld itself," Luther said. "However..." He dodges another attempt to chomp his head off and turns around, looking straight at Peter who was growing pale and tired, causing the detective to glares at the swordman.
"...A being as strong you can not summons at full strength because a mortal cannot bear the cost of summoning a god-like being at their peak," Luther said. "Besides, it would seem that your summoner can't bear the cost of allowing you to be here any longer."
Cerberus growls and lungs, though at a slower pace. Luther sidesteps it and chops off one of its heads.
Cerberus's two remaining head roars in pain, the head that was chopped off regrew and roars.
"See? You gotten weaker than you were before and your summoner is straining to even stand up," Luther then cut Cerberus in half, making it disappear into dust.
Peter fell to his knee, coughing up blood, and vomiting. Lester was dragging Basil back to their side for his wounds to be taken care of. Lupin was stuck in the roof and Brick had most of his bones broken. Drake only has his sniper rifle and couldn't do anything to Luther and had sweats dripping down his forehead. Cyan was shivering in fear.
Ordell was not making a noise and was trying to hide from Luther.
"Time...To...End...This."
A sudden pressure slams everyone to the ground, except for Lupin who was still stuck in the roof.
A demonic aura covers Luther's body, making him look like the Devil himself, and raise his katana, a fainting growling noise could be heard from the sword and was about to swing it down before the wall explodes.
"Man...Quite a mess we got here, eh?"

8 218Tree of Yggdrasil
A Land of Myths and Legends. It has been far too long since the Age of Humanity has come and gone, the only evidence of those times being ruins and relics, left over from a past shrouded in mystery. In the center of the Human Continent, there exists a Tree, the origin of all the monsters and of humanity’s downfall. Yet, humans prevail, rising from the ashes every time. Countries rise and fall, struggling in an endless cycle of conquest and bloodshed. Yet still they pray to the source of their misfortune, the Tree of Yggdrasil, hoping to be granted one of its miracles. It has been centuries since the Tree has blessed a being. Only a select few in the past were able to receive its grace, bringing about a new form of power to the world and transcending humanity. These beings, having created brand new lands of their own, are known as paragons of their own species, yet they are all cursed in one way or another. Once again, humanity is rising, yet their growth brings about misfortune to all who surround them. Those forsaken even by their own races face death, persecution and loneliness. And yet, the Tree keeps its silence. Until now… *Credit for the cover goes to Darkhikarii at DeviantArt, if you want it taken down, please message me.
