Dark Lord's Estate… .

Zeth glared at his kneeling minions then let out a guttural roar in frustration, roar fiercer than a lion's, a dark, demon's roar . He just wanted to get things done! To get that promotion . And maybe have even the slightest shot at marrying Alice just so he could dominate her . Ooh he wanted to put that b.i.t.c.h in her place, to make her kneel and lick the sweat upon his feet . He froze, letting the dark thoughts fall .

Zeth couldn't forget the promise he made to himself years ago . That despite the humiliation, he'd be the example to his troops . The star and light in which they'd look upon . If only they took their jobs seriously .

Some of them lost respect for him because he simply let Alice go after she denied his honor . He should be dead . Yet even the demon lord spared him, forced him into this leaders.h.i.+p position . Forced him in front of the others so that everyone could witness his shame . All in her name .

"Miserable failures," he said . "You are my elites . Hidden Lotus . STOP EMBARRa.s.sING ME! You dare throw away all of the training? Is there any professional left here?"

His minions were bowing low to the ground, trembling with fear . Despite the loss, they still did this . Things shouldn't be this way . He needed honor! Honor! HE WANTED TO EARN HIS G.o.dd.a.m.n HONOR! f.u.c.k! "Of the three demon lord eyes, I'll look the worse . They underestimate the patrol because the gifted are human and this Neko is a beast kin . Fools! I may end having to do everything myself . "

He stormed out of counseling chambers, fuming .

Lot City Streets… .

Clyde and Melody dropped to the rough concrete of an ally, panting . Covered in sweat like the breath of a marathon, the duo double, then triple-checked the area for pursuers . This cat and mouse game felt like it raged on for an eternity . Clyde wasn't sure if they'd ever make it back to the others .

He stared at the streetlights, which seemed to darken with every blink . A chilly breeze whipped across his face, calming him for only a second before fear retook the mind's seat .

Abruptly, a shape that dripped from the shadows, down the alley walls . A tentacle of slime flashed around Melody's arm before the thought to run had the chance to process .

The redheaded young woman yelped, frantically hitting at the tentacle with her free arm . A second one shot out of the darkness to grab onto the other arm right as Clyde raised his blade . Melody screamed as the tentacles slowly pulled her into an inky blackness . A third rope of slime lurched itself around the sword .

Clyde held on, but he was simply not strong enough . The tentacle yanked his weapon away then tossed it on the rooftop of a nearby building .

"No," Melody gasped fighting with everything she had to no avail, tears streaming from her eyes . Clyde's a.n.a.lyze activated involuntarily .

Abyss to the Blackness

Level: 464

Type: unknown .

Work under: N/A .

Special: Unknown .

Clyde's heartbeat hammered . f.u.c.kING LEVEL FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR?

Sure, he could leave the girl behind—he owed her nothing . She's been nothing but a pain in the a.s.s the entire time and truthfully, his life would be easier if she perished . But Clyde's sense of humanity still stirred, at least for now . He was no hero of legend . He didn't have the power to take on something this G.o.dd.a.m.n strong .

Another tentacle in the shape of something Clyde pushed away from his thoughts, emerged . It ripped off Melody's skirt, revealing pink panties .

"Oh, h.e.l.l no," Clyde said . "I am not about to see this in real life . This is the stupidest thing I've ever done, just to live with myself . a.s.suming I live . "

[You've entered a Death Sentence!]

Clyde's MP wasn't high due to the flash steps and previous battles . He recovered a little, but it was enough, especially against something that even the system named death . It felt more than alarming that something like this lived within the city .

[Activated Scatter shot . ]

The energy b.a.l.l.s did no damage—but stopped the tentacle that was seconds away from violating Melody .

[Abyss HP: 95,000,000% You are unable to damage it . Warning, you must retreat! Warning, you must retreat!]

A tentacle seemed to appear out of nowhere to slap Clyde to the ground . The pain to his jaw felt like a bowling ball exploding to his face . Blood gushed from his nose .

[Your HP has dropped to 15%]

The young man shook his head, feeling very small . What was he even doing here? Why even bother with this scammer anyway? She meant nothing to him . But…that thing . It was surely going to pull her into nothingness while he did nothing . Power . Just a little power—anything .

Nothing happened .

Melody screamed as she was yanked further and further toward the blackness . The tentacles were watching Clyde as if he'd destroy them if they were distracted with violating the girl . Another ten feet and she'd be gone for good . A blessing…right? Who would ever house to the power to take on something like this .

[You have lost the will to fight . ]

[Enemy has sensed this and spared you . Go while you have the chance . ]

As if he'd get far . Clyde pulled the enemy attracter from his inventory . One last idea . One that required the strain of his luck stat .

The tentacles froze, confused and curious . He waved it . It flashed like lightning multiple times, engulfing the entire area . Hundreds of flaps immediately filled the air .

"This is the stupidest thing I've ever done," Clyde said softly . Yet, the tentacles seemed amazed as harpies swarmed the area . "Let her go . See those women above . You'll have more fun with them . An offering to you, great abyss lord . "

A dark laugh filled the air, everywhere and nowhere .

"Very well . "

The tentacles tossed Melody onto Clyde then multiplied into hundreds . The harpies, set on nosediving toward the young man, met resistance . Tentacles wrapped around all of the unsuspecting birdwomen, dragging them to the ground . Many were violated on the spot . The slime ripped away all clothing .

"We will find you! Oh!" one of them screamed as a tentacle shoved into her, thrusting like a machine .

Clyde had an iron grip on Melody as they darted away as fast as their legs could muster . Fifteen minutes later, they stopped in the middle of the street to rest . The redhead wiped away the last of her tears . New streaks replaced them . She did the unthinkable, diving into Clyde, face against his chest, crying .

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Melody has changed from feared to absolute endearment . She owes you her life . You mean everything to her—risking yours when you could've let her die horribly . ]

[Your bravery has been noted by someone of great power . ]

[You have completed the secret quest: Do or Die . A brilliant plan for a near-impossible quest . Reward: $1000 . 10,000 EXP . You have reached level 21! Stats increased! Your Heart protection has reached level 4!]

Even though just rewarded for being heroic, Clyde snapped Melody out of her weeping to point at the treat that grinned a few yards from the duo . The lamia and honeybee laughed .

"We have enough to c.u.m at least five times," Sui said .

"It's all thanks to some light signal . To think we almost missed ya," Abby said then licked her lips .

Clyde's HP only recovered to thirty percent . He lacked the MP to Flash step . f.u.c.k . They left one problem for another .
