chapter 38

everyone woke up with a heavy hang over, which is easily cured with some of uncles hang-over. i don't envy them, that stuff tastes terrible, like grape medicine and your grandmas cough syrup had a mutant baby. 30 minutes later everyone was bright and perky, and sitting around a breakfast of pancakes that Johanna requested from me. the old man, who has rope burns all over his body, spoke up.

"let me retire already, I'm getting old." zain

"i told you, I'll let you retire soon." jack

"when?" zain

'one more kill' jack

to my surprise the old man just starts grinning instead of being shocked at the telepathy. now that i

think about it, he already is Marys pet so it wouldn't be all that surprising if she tamed him.

'that'll take a while.' zain

'deal with it' jack

'fine' zain

"so what do you guys sell in this village? i haven't seen many craftsmen and there are a lot of

imported things." jacobe

"gee, i wonder. what could a village full of some of the worlds strongest Marshal artists possibly

sell." Johanna

"mercenaries?" jacobe

"bingo. our customers come from every Continent in the world. of course everyone here has certain

specialties when it comes to mercenary work. 93% of everyone here is either a mercenary or a retired mercenary." Johanna

Johanna and i are somewhat famous assassins around the world. Johanna having learned stealth

from me. we have never failed a job. my kills as an assassin, which do not have anything to do with my kills as a serial killer, number 10. i only really do it for pocket change

after breakfast Johanna and i go out, leaving the others behind.

'thats him, Nicolas. he's a pedophile. he is our target.' jack

'cool, i can see why he would resort to pedophilia, he's ugly. really ugly.' Johanna

'no, he just doesn't like women older than 10.' jack

'i see that you've done some preliminary scouting already.' Johanna

'of course, i like to know everything i can about my victims.' jack

'which is the main difference between your assassinations and your serial kills right?' Johanna

'yup. hes moving, lets go.' jack

we spend the next two hours following Nicolas, keeping note on his behavior. Johanna has to take

physical notes, but i can keep all the information in my head, I've been doing it for years.

after we stalk the man for a couple hours, about 4 total all the time i am practicing psychological magic on random people, we head home to meet back up with the other three. on my way back i notice someone entering the village. specifically a god, the god of humans. he is a major god, which is above greater god, and also the one the church worships. i walk up to him, and stab him in the chest. he steps left a second before my attack landed, so i only scratched his arm.

'perfect' jack

"my, my, aren't you a feisty one." god of humans

"go fuck yourself, you are banned from entering this village." jack

"what can you, a shade, do against the god of humans?" god of humans

racial gods work a little different than other gods. where other gods are weakened by things that aren't part of their element, racial gods are hard to hurt by anything not in their element. meaning that a Human can easily hurt the god of humans but anything else will find it hard to do so. racial deities also gain power in proportion to the influence their race has. of course the test i just performed proves that someone that used to be human can harm the god of humans.

"i managed to slice your arm up pretty badly." jack

as soon as i say that i leap forward to stab the bastard in the heart. i also reach out with my

psychological magic to see what i can do to a god, which is a lot actually. i just suppress everything, reactions, emotions, thoughts, etc. i then bull rush him and throw him out of the boundaries of the village.

"you are banned from this village. never come back. i will kill you next time i meet you, and I'm not the only one that hates you here, every single minor and lesser god that reside in this area hates you. and many of the other residents of this village hates you." jack

"how do you expect to kill me?" god of humans

when he says that i bite his arm and rip out some flesh before swallowing it and repeating the process on the other arm. all the while he is screaming in agony. after the third bite he sends a blast of pure mana at me, i absorb a large amount of it but i still get thrown back through the gate.

"like that" jack

i say as i wipe some of his blood off of my face. the flesh of a god, delicious. that reminds me, i have

some unfinished business with charm.

the god of humans just stares at me with a mildly horrified face, before snapping into a rage.

"how dare you! how dare you do that to the m-" god of humans

he is cut off by his his throat getting cut out.

"I'll eat more right now if you want. after all the flesh of gods is one of my favorite delicacies." jack

after i say that i eat his throat and lick his blood off of my hands. as he is no longer able to speak for now he just teleports away, which is the only good thing about being a god, a free, extremely powerful, teleportation skill. other than that i would rather be a titan, which reminds me of something i need to ask asmodeus.

suddenly Johanna come up to me and licks my cheek.

"mum, tasty. it is really is good, i can feel strength flowing into me, although only a small amount." Johanna

she continues to lick up the rest of the blood on my face and hands. after a minute i hear a cough

sound coming from behind us.

"sorry didn't notice you their jackline" Johanna

"it's fine, you looked like you were having lots of fun" jackline

"good to see the higher ups finally let you out." jack

"never mind about that, did you really mean that our flesh is like a delicacy to you?" jackline

"of course, it's really tasty. and the power contained in it is an added bonus." jack

"well then, would you like to eat mine?" jackline

"sure, but i have more important things to talk about." jack
