Chapter 21 - Chapter 021: The One You Should Fear

| Theme: mabanua - MEGALOBOX (The theme of MEGALOBOX) [Official Audio]

While the demonic hamster was leaking sensitive information "Elizabeth" was slowly walking down the streets without deigning to pay attention to any of those they ran into.

Sometimes quite literally.

Her little body just strutted forth no matter the obstacle that was in her way as she paid more attention to her own body than where she was going. Repeatedly blinking her eyes as if getting used to the level of light despite having done this for a good few minutes by that point. Also tensing & untensing muscles.

Most obvious with how she had her hands in front of herself - her head staring at her little hands as she pivoted on her heel. Somehow dodging someone that she was about to collide into without actually looking up from her very own hands. Doing so with such grace that she didn't even slow down.

"World looks weird through human eyes." <"Elizabeth">

With her eyes she could not help pick up on all the little imperfections and that always made her so annoyed at what she saw. It proved how incompetent everyone was. They couldn't even make a straight line so she felt it was quite understandable.

But everything was far less… Detailed.

"Must be mixture between the eyes being less clarity oriented and the brain not being able to handle as many details…" <"Elizabeth">

Shaking her head as she stopped in front of the fairly busy street to look toward a two story building with some rather inconspicuous people loitering around the entrance. A regular person likely wouldn't have noticed however she clearly did. Not bothering to hide her gaze which of course got their attention in turn.

Soon enough one of the "loiterers" walked up behind her with his sharp eyes studying her every action as he stretched out his hand to grab her by her hair.

A vicious smile formed on his face as he was mere millimetres from seizing her.

Yet he never got to.

Her head abruptly moved to the side while she stepped back towards him so his arm rested over her little right shoulder; both hands reaching up to grapple his arm. Seeing those little hands wrapping around his arm broke him out of his prior bewilderment. Letting a boisterous laugh burst out as he began to mock her.

"Have some gift that helps you see behind yourself or maybe even react automatically? That's very good since I'm sure we can find some way to train you to use it in the correct way. So why don't you make it easy and help this uncle as well as his friends with your cute little mo-"

Despite asking her to come along - he tried abusing her own grapple in order to lift her - expecting it to be easy to lift her little body with even just that one arm.

What he didn't expect was for her to remain firmly on the floor.

"Done?" <"Elizabeth">

Tilting her head backwards in order to look at him at which point he began to shiver at the sheer bloodlust that those eyes passively released. It was obvious she wasn't trying to intimidate him. Merely her thoughts were leaking through them due to her not being used to the body she was in.

What truly confused him was how such a young girl could have more bloodlust than anyone he's ever met in his time within the dark corners of the kingdom.

Even the few raids from those holy fanatics, something from the upper rungs to make things conveniently vanish when they aren't needed, didn't compare to this. It was less akin to a human and more like being dumped into a pond of boiling blood. There was no resisting this.

With demonic energy running through the souls of her feet (destroying her shoes in the process due to being unable to handle the violent energy) she was like an unmovable mountain. Leveraging that to throw him over her shoulder. Resulting in an explosive *BOOM* as dirt flew everywhere around them.

While before the pitiful humans conveniently "didn't notice" her… She quickly became impossible to ignore as screams echoed throughout the entire street - a few people even got unlucky as stones hit or even pierced their bodies. Some merely forced to stumble, others knocked or and a few bleeding out.

Instantly those who were obviously guarding the building the prior thugs pointed her towards acted in varying ways to this surprise upset.

Some ran into the building and others moved in to confront her however most were too stunned to even think of running or fighting. Not that she cared about any of that as she started walking towards that building once more. A magic fist shape construct came flying towards her yet she just pushed it aside.

Doing so with such casual ease - demonic energy coating only her palm to create a violet film - that the thing appeared to have no weight to it. Yet the exploding building behind her very much disagreed. It seemed to have impressed her as she formed that same hand into a knife while licking her lips.

Staring down at the lineup of four gangsters without so much as a change of expression.

Before anyone knew what was happening she vanished in a puff of violet petals only for a surprised gasp to break out from the brawler. Everyone turned to look at him only to notice the silver haired girl was elbow deep inside his abdomen. Her hand moving about his chest cavity only to retch the entire arm out.

Within her hand was a still beating heart that she unhesitantly took a bite out of in front of the slowly horrified gazes of those thugs.

"Harder to extract without fangs…" <"Elizabeth">

She said with a pout on her blood soaked lips.

It was also that moment that a man with swept back hair & clothing clearly far above the average person scrambling into the building stepped up to the window on the second floor. At first his expression was one of annoyance yet that quickly morphed to surprise. Following that his eyes glowed blue for a second.

Seconds later his face lost all confidence as fear took over; he didn't even try to run as he just stood there shaking while biting his lip. Not so much frozen as just giving up. Such a sight actually brought some amusement to the demonic "Elizabeth"'s face as she threw the remains of that heart aside.

A beam of ice shot from her side in an attempt to freeze her but she simply leaned backwards while lifting a hand up to catch a bat flying towards her. Following that up with a gut punch that sent the attacker into the other two thugs that attempted to stop her from entering the building.

"[Sangre del Absoluto Curse: Demonic Sword of Victory]" <"Elizabeth">

Swiping her knife hand out as a demonic blade formed in a very similar man as that fist previously did.

As a result… Everything was sliced through.

Literally slicing an entire section of the city with such a fine cut that a lot of people likely wouldn't notice for quite some time if not for people & animals randomly collapsing in half.

"Not bad..." <"Elizabeth">

Uncaring to the final results as she kicked open the reinforced door to that building where she found the corridor completely filled with a small army of ruffians. An army of criminals hardened by the streets versus the little girl who stood against them. One could say it wasn't even a fight…

They were right.

Demonic energy fueled her muscles as she fortunately didn't need to worry about any ranged attacks due to the chances of friendly fire. Exploding the ground under her as she charged forward. Arms raised in front of her face as she waved through blow after blow with her retaliation bringing with it terror.

Throwing her fist in a hook whenever she had a free moment - every single one resulting in an explosion of gore as her carefully placed punches brought more than just her strength. Each injecting malicious intent filled demonic energy with every punch. Their weak mortal bodies unable to handle such power.

Even an attack from behind, her uncaring about overextending with her advance, was swiftly dodged only for her to step in toward them in order to deliver a knee to their leg.

That very same leg exploded like everything else she touched.

Their screams of horror were unable to go on for long as she delivered a powerful uppercut that had the same result as every other attack. A gory explosion that left the front half of that thug's face gone. Such a combo only slowed her down for a mere millisecond before she pushed forward once more.

Behind her a trail of corpses that had holes in various places, most being instantly lethal yet a few unlucky souls were left to bleed out, as she reached the stairs.

Just when she was approaching a barrel full of oil was thrown down from the top floor with a fireball following moments after. It didn't take a genius to figure out what happened next as well as why they did that. Specifically to at least slow down if not stop the approach of the girl.

Unfortunately the flames of the demon realm were far hotter.

Leaping off the floor only to kick of the wall of the stairwell, sending her hurtling towards the opposite corner and kicking off that as well to reach the top.

Throwing a punch immediately (before she even touched the ground) at someone who was peering over the side to try to watch the flames. Instantly painting the hallway in front of her red. Turning towards the other one who shot the fireball for whom she literally kicked the ass of.

That very person flying over the banister thus into the flames; their screams being ignored as she slowly walked towards the room of the man who spied her from below.

"Collect blood later maybe… Help improve reserves." <"Elizabeth">

Tensing & releasing her hand as she pushed the door open with the other.

Sitting at his desk was the boss of this crime outfit who looked directly at her with no surprise on his face despite him likely having heard the mayhem below.

"Why did you even do this?"

"Elizabeth" tilted her head to the side with all the energy of a curious cat.

"Fucked around and found out - targetted what was mine." <"Elizabeth">

Hearing that made the man chuckle as the silver haired princess just walked up to him.

"You may have been able to take us out but do you think you can get away with this? Behind us is the mayor in charge of this border town, behind him is the noble in charge of this province and then behind them is a duke. Behind the duke are people someone like-URGH!"

Unable to finish his rant as she seemingly got bored of his nonsense - grabbing his face with her hand as she tensed. Screaming as blood began to seep out from between her vice-like fingers. All he could do was thrash around powerlessly as her lips parted to reveal her pearly teeth forming a savage toothy grin.

"Perfect; entertain me!" <"Elizabeth">

*POP*
