Author's Memo: Grettings! I took my time waiting the result of the poll so that I could write it. This chapter was 'planned' to be like this. I had this 10 chapters already 'planned'. So now I'll be thinking on what I'm going to write and in I might have to upgrade some of it's categories.
Let's cut the blablabla and here is the chapter!!!
Have FUN!
----------------------
When we left the tent we found that a group of 10 soldiers was protecting us. We killed them rapidly. I killed 3 and Yoko 7… It’s really annoying how fast she can be and how overpower she is...
The blood that rushed out from their body had soaked my blade. She drank it if pleasure and wanted more. My clothes had some red spots. The smell of blood was making all my senses sharp and I could think faster. A murderous smirk appeared on my face, I wanted to show my blade that it could drink more.
I poured some mana inside the blade and she started to shine. The red runes that appeared on the blade made it transform in two 50cm daggers. I took them and rushed to the battle that was happening.
Yoko ran near me and when we got close to the battle we saw how much power the beastmen have. The humans had a greater number, but without magic they would be easily killed. I really don’t know how they survived this long.
Looking to their struggle to kill or wound one of the beastmen make me feel pity for their prideful race. Without much effort I could see that the beastmen was killing the humans easily.
The smell of blood was making my own blood boil. I wanted to kill them all! I need to go there and walk inside the fountain of hot blood!
I jump and go flying my way to the battlefield. My blood boiling and my two new daggers wanted to taste it.
“Blood! Oh how much I can gather near me?” I could see fear inside the eyes of some humans that had heard my words.
Magic use a antique language as base. And my dragon half seems to understand it easily and it can be used to talk.
“My Blood is boiling! I need to kill my own body is a weapon. Fear me, stupid humans! I came here to finish what you started!” I descend in the middle of a group of 20 humans. All of them carry bastard swords and shields. They are wearing plates to more defense, but it make them slower.
Their armor let me see that my eyes were covered in a red light. I giggled when they looked in my eyes, fear and despair was printed in their eyes. I couldn’t stop. How can trained soldier fear a child? Or it was because I’m a dragon? But I am just looking like a kid with horns, scales, wings and a tail… I’m not that fearsome.
When they finally snapped back hoped appeared in their eyes. ‘So they think they can kill me? Let’s see if they can!’ I smiled to them.
Opening my jaw hot flames got out. I made it hit 2 knights. The screamed when their shields didn’t protected them and their arms were burned. The other 18 formed a circle and started to attack me from all directions. I made all my body be covered by my scales. My red scales took all their attacks.
Their attacks did nothing they are looking down on me…
“Earth is time! Reclaim the bodies of this stupid humans.” With it 10 men were engulfed and just their head were left above earth. I could crush them easily. But I wanted to play! The other 10 attacked together. Using my tail I blocked two swords. With my own daggers I blocked others two, the other six attacked me and two landed on my wings tearing the leather between two bones. I screamed and they jumped back.

"You stupid fools! You hurt me! And I was here trying to make a good fight, but now, let's play!" With it I slashes and took of the arms of one knight. His armor was slashed like butter.
I was pouring mana in my weapon and she was getting hotter. I could see the air frying and it was making illusions.
A red grin appeared on my face. I was slashing all of their arms. 18 arms had been cut and no blood was pouring out.
All of them started to beg for their lives before I finished them off. I sliced their arteries of the neck, without that blazing sword the blood flowed like a river! And they screamed when they had seen that I wasn't going to give them a fast death. I wanted to see their blood! It was making me happy!
The blood poured itself on my clothes and body. It looked like I was wearing a bloody cloak! All my body was covered in blood. Yu'gaed was drinking the blood that had fallen on it. The blade purred with joy.
“Water Blade, cut open the neck of the imprisoned.” With this the 10 that was seeing the other die. Their heads were cut vertically, the brains and blood shot out from the cut. That red liquid flowed very high. But it easily died. And once again the blood had been splashed on me.
“As expected from such a liquid! This taste, this smell! I’m going to get addicted!”
I had killed 23 humans by myself. And my wings already had been healed.
I flew high while I looked around to find some new prey. A group of knights was a fighting while protecting someone.
I smirked when I after I had seen the face of the capitan. He was shouting orders to his subordinates.
"I finally found you captain!" I shouted before dropping myself before him. My sudden appearance startled him.
Yu'gaed had gone back being a bastard sword. It was the time to a duel.
"So I had thought that we would be able to kill you two if you were some beastmen but I couldn't be more wrong. You killed 10 of our men and now you want to take the head of the knights?" With that a wall of shields appeared between us. "You can try, but I have more experience than you!"
He was protected by a good wall... 30 people. With a grin in my face I looked at the fools.
"Mwahaha! You think that this number of weaklings can do something to the great me?!" I change my form, Yu'gaed disappeared. Scarlat claws appeared on my hands and feet, they were 15 cm long and very sharp. My humanoid dragon appeared in battle. I was almost 2m tall, my tail got 1,5m long my horns got longer and more deadly.
"I whose parents were so powerful that they could kill everyone here without breaking a sweat?" Fear. I could smell, the humans were afraid of the deadly dragon that has appeared before them.
"Look at me and try to kill me!" With that I punch the wall of shields before me and they are breaks like nothing. The humans behind them fly for almost 10 meters before stopping. And they were dead, I made sure to pour a destructive wave of mana inside their bodies.
A mad laugh escapes from my draconian lips. "Mwahahahaha!!! As I thought! Humans are so fragile! They die easily if you punch them!"
The captain tried to change the chaos that I had put into their ranks, he was shouting to them to not go out of formation. It was clear that he wouldn’t be able to succeed.

His face got red and with a powerful shout that I wouldn’t expect from a human everyone looked to him.
“You! You! Evil creature! What are you thinking you’re exist for? All you beasts were created to serve us! The most numerous race of this world! Before our number no one can win! However, you, your own existence need to be purged out of our world!” With that he jumped before me and took his weapon of the scabbard.
The sword had a silver glow. 90 cm of iron blade, her hilt had some jewels, my eyes shone when I saw that. I wanted the jewels, my instinct wanted to get hold of the hilt because it was beautiful. Some runes was glowing in the center of the blade. The name of the sword had been carved on it’s body. Hu’ilon B’ugav, the Heart Eater. A good name for a trash sword.
“So, I need to ask you. Do you know your partner name?” I ask the captain. He looked troubled but soon he recognized what I said.
“Obviously! Who wouldn’t know the name of the blade that always walked with? My sword, Hu’lion B’ugav, wants to have a taste on your flesh! Evil being!” He rushed and made a swing to hit me, I use my claws to parry his attack. He had wide eyes, he had probably thought that I was a stupid beast in this form. (And this isn’t even my final form!)
“What a beautiful name… But you know the meaning?” I wanted to make it look like a show! The captain need to be tortured, his will shattered and his partner killed. The show of what happens when someone try to mess with a dragon! “Do you want to know? Do you? That names is so beautiful! It had pride, I can see what the creator wanted to do with it! But now it is just a tool! It has lost its creator and its new master don’t know his true nature!”
I parried all his attacks. He was doing feints, large movements and some few attack really could push me back. Some of his men were defending our duel place. I was just defending, trying to make it looks like he was winning, some of his attacks had hurt me, but they were easily healed.
I could stop anymore, I wanted to tear him piece by piece. I open my mouth and from it a blazing inferno was expelled.
He made an arc with his sword and mana gathered on it’s place. An arc of mana cut my fire. I dodged his attack after it had gained some speed.
‘So he really use mana in some attacks.’ I thought to myself.
“Let’s finish this!” I started to attack with my claws and his armor was being cut like it was paper. “Do you thought that the Heart Eater would win against me? I have the last sword my father made. He was a glorious dragon and with his claws and teeth he forged it to me!” I striped him off his own armor.
Fear was appearing on his eyes.
“As I had thought, you aren’t worth of your own blade.” With that I chop the blade of the hilt. A clean and powerful cut with my claws. The sword had been cut in five pieces so perfectly that no one would believe. “Did you see that? This is what will happen with you.”
He couldn’t understand my words, but the meaning was everywhere, he just needed to look.
With a stupid scream he soiled his pants. The beautiful hilt had fallen from his hand. His knees were shaking and he was able to support his own weight.
With my tail I take his neck. “Look at you… A powerful warrior of the humans soiling himself before a kid…” I started to shout. “Look at your captain!” I shake him and with his weak hands he tried to break of my ‘tail hug’ to breath. He clawed my tail with no power.
“This is the leader that you all believed to be powerful. Look at him now! He, who tried to win against a small dragonian child, had lost!” With that words I crush his neck and use my claws to cut his arteries. Blood rush out and soak me.
Despair. That word spread like fire. Everyone of the soldiers wanted to run. The ones that had seen the scene of their leader being overpowered by a simple kid had started to flee. With sigh I threw the garbage, got my beautiful present and I jump to the sky. Soaring in the sky I look around I can see the humans being destroyed by the beastmen army.
“Ice arrows. I want your power. Rain down on the foolish humans, they are nothing more than a plague.” Thousands ice arrows appears behind me. I wasn’t able to see the total amount, but I had used near 50% of my mana just to create this amount.
Without any sound all thousands arrows go down and dye the ground with the red color. Just the humans got killed by the rain. The arrows would break after the hit making the wound bigger and the bleeding wouldn’t stop. They died fast.
The beastmen were the winners but the cockiness got 100 of us and another 200 were hurt. But nothing that bad, so they wouldn’t die.
I myself had killed their leader and almost half of their force. My body was covered by human blood and it was warm. The taste of iron, the smell of rusty metal. Ii felt so good that I had to use almost all my willpower to not go down and gulp down some of them.
I landed and I finally could see how beautiful it had become! Everything was red!
“Job completed! Total annihilation! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” I laughed after seeing the carnage before me.
Yoko PoV
He did it… He really did it! WHY THE HELL THE NEEDED TO KILL THE LEADER! I WANTED TO PLAY WITH HIM TOO!!! HE LOOKED SO FUNNY TO TEASE!!!
It was fast, but he did a show! I can let this pass… this time. He just got lucky. Captain Englod died after that kid had toyed with him. He took some of his attack and when he attacked he first striped the guy… I had to use my power to not start laughing. But the end… that end… I have to say… I wanted to toy a little more with the humans… He go there and with a spell he kills every survivor…
And now he is looking like a madman… he just landed and started laughing. What is so funny that you need to laugh like that?

8 332Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.
