"so... Who's telling who first?"
Eli spoke, catching everyone's attention. Currently, they are in the place where they started.
Eli, standing on a huge debris while fate and bare casually sitting on a wrecked door on the ground. Don't as why they're sitting there out of all places.
Slope and lai just arrived, while zero was sitting on a chair that somehow survived with kisha sitting on his lap without even bothering why she was there.
"Wait, no one didn't report yet?"
Lai questioned as he grabbed a debri before swallowing it. He was getting hungry and alia is out of question.
No one speak or move. They just stared at each other which puzzle alia. Are they shy? Or they didn't have any to report to begin with?
"Well, since everyone is here, I would like to explain what I discovered."
Eli spoke, breaking the silent lingering. She clap her hands which light came after. After a few seconds, the light vanished and a book appeared.
The book look old, and yet important. Well, in terms of designing her stuff, she is very picky. And it seems like she found this theme to be beautiful and perfect for a book that contains a lot of knowledge.
"Oh! Oh! A book! A book!"
Bare excitedly remark as he immediately lunge towards it. Eli giggled at this sight before she open it.
The atmosphere suddenly changed. A heavy, tense, and deadly aura suddenly emitted from it.
"That. Book. Feel. Dangerous."
"Say that again! Can I taste it? Can I? Can I?"
"After we used it lai. Anyway, I stumble upon an interesting information~"
...
Eli strolled along the wrecked road, with destroy buildings left and right. It was so bad that it can fall at any moment.
And since she left the group, she stroll around without a care in the world. But she stopped as she saw something that could only be explained as horrendous.
A grotesque, unrecognisable monster like person was standing still. It seems like it was sleeping due to how it acts.
"Oh~ This is new."
As she get closer, the monster opened its eyes. It was black. All black. That's how you could describe it's eyes.
Both move at unbelievable speed and locked on her. This made the corner of her mouth raised. She was getting excited for some reason.
Is the pleasure she steal from earlier still active? Or maybe that's just her own greediness that makes her quench to gain even more knowledge.
"Hm?"
The monster didn't move nor didn't do anything. It just stared at her while eli let it stare at her. For her, no matter what it do, she can steal it. Just by imagining it makes her drool.
Imagine the power, the things this monster have. Though, she didn't know why there was such a thing but she surely know why this place was destroyed.
The evidence is literally in front of her, even elementary would find it easy to identify who can cause such destruction around her.
The environment, the surroundings, everything points out to the monstrosity in front of her.
"It's not moving? It seems it's not hostile, or it's observing..."
She muttered as she realized the monster was also doing the samething as her. Observing your enemy and find out if it's a threat or not.
"Very clever. I like it."
She slowly met it's eyes. It was dull. Very dull. Like it wasn't able to think at all. This made her even more needy
"Ah~!!! I want it now!!!!"
Due to the overwhelming greediness and pleasure he stole earlier, she couldn't control her emotions anymore and started to do what she's best at.
Stealing what she wanted, even if its impossible.
The monster, sensing something, finally move. It ran. Not towards eli, but to the opposite direction.
Why? Because the monster can sense danger as well. And, well. You could say what it saw if you look at elis' face she's making right now.
A monstrosity smile that even other monsters will put their ugliness in to shame.
Eyes full of greediness and hope like a mad scientist who researched the most vile thing that ever existed.
Mouth that drool endlessly, like her mouth was an ocean full of saliva.
That's what its seeing right now. Don't get it wrong, it's a monster yes, but what it saw even traumatized it.
That's how scary and vile she's making on her face right now.
"Oh? It's running? It's running?!!!"
She slowly let out a manical laugh that would put any crazy and lunatics to shame. It was a laugh that will make you cower in fear. A laugh that will forever traumatized you.
"Yes... Yes!... Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! YES!!!! YES!!! YES!!! YESSS!!!! YESS!!!! YESS!!!!!YESSSS!!!!!!!!!! RUNNN!!! RUN LIKE YOU MEANT IT!!! RUN LIKE THERE'S TOMORROW!!! THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE!!! IT MAKES YOU EVEN MORE DESIRABLE!!!! YES!!! RUN!!! LITTLE RABBIT!!! RUN!!!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! MAKE IT A CHALLENGE WILL YOU????!!!! HIDE IF YOU CAN!!! TELEPORT IF YOU WILL!!! AS LONG AS IT'S FUN, MAKE IT POSSIBLE OKAY?!!!!"
She shouted so loud you could hear it over 100 meters of radius. She watched as the monster slowly shrink from her view. It was slowly getting far and far from her.
"Ahhh~!!! This is even more than I thought~!!"
She slowly hugged herself and started to touch her various sensitive part, masterbating in the middle of a ruined city.
"Ah~!"
She moaned. Completely unaware that the monster is already gone, and yet she didn't seem to care. She just keep touching herself.
"This pleasure... This greediness... I-its..."
She slowly looked up in the sky, smiled widely before delcaring
"ADDICTIVE!!!"
Her head slowly looked down again.
And then all of a sudden, she stopped moving. Her hands, her head, her body, everything stopped. It's like time itself stopped.
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Five seconds passed and yet she didn't move. She didn't react. She didn't talk. She didn't do anything.
She's just standing there, all alone. Without moving, without doing anything, without thinking anything.
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten
Ten seconds past as her head finally move. She look straight ahead with a smile so unrecognisable that you wouldn't even tell if she's a girl, a guy, or a monster in a human skin.
"Times up~"
She seductively muttered before her eyes shines. It was red. Pure red.
"[Steal]~"
And then, she vanished.
No, more accurately she just dashed.
It was so fast that no eye could follow it.
And in an instant, she arrived behind the monster, who was still running away.
"Aw~ Didn't run fast enough~?"
She grin. The most vicious, wild, unfiltered, and crazy grin. The kind that you hate the most.
The monster shivers and began to run even faster. That's right, the monstrosity in front of her fealt fear. For the first time. In it's entire life.
This scene made eli sighed. She wasn't even trying to chase it and yet she was able to catch up.
How? Well, she just stole the speed of the wind on her surroundings and multiply it by 100 fold. She also stole the gravity on her surroundings in order to balance things out as it was a hindrance that was holding her back.
And with her control over gravity, she was able to fly around quite easily. That is the reason why she is currently flying above the monster, treating this as a chase of cat and mouse.
"Is that how fast you can go~? Or do you need me to help you run~?"
Themonster didn't answer. As eli mocked it again.
"Come on~"
The monster yet again didn't answer or reply. It didn't to. It thought it was the strongest hunter on this world. Their kind is one of the best of the best and yet it was currently being tried like a plaything. A toy that could be easily discarded once she's done playing with it.
And what's worse is it cannot even get mad, as getting mad would be much more worse fate than what it's currently doing right now.
"Go~! Go~! Go~! You're almost there sweety~! Just a little more~!"
Eli cheered. Despite the monsters' sprinting capability, with the speed of the wind and gravity on her side, she's practically good.
"Hey~! Hey~! Want my help~? I can help you~"
As this was going on, notice how there is almost no monster interrupting the session going on right now right?
That's not because of some lazy plot armour where the only star of the scene is eli and the monster. No no no. That's far from that.
The truth is, the monsters did heard them. But to scared to even show and help their own kind. Yes, they're monsters but they will help their own kind if they can.
But you see, eli is emitting something that makes any monster crawl in fear. Her face alone says all. What more evidence they need to not help there own kind that is being chased by her?
That is why there is no one beside eli and the monster right now.
"Hehehehehe~ You know, your cute when you're scared~"
She said, while excitedly looking at her favorite plaything right now. She was treating this like a movie she usually watched, which is crazy to think about.
"You're making yourself worth even more~ those fear~ those dread~ those hope~ those happiness~ those emotions I couldn't comprehend~ I want them~! I want it to understand~! I want it because I can~! I want it since your giving me a chance~! Ah~!! I want it all~!! All of IT~!!!"
The monster ran even more faster, but it was useless. Also, these monsters by the way, are capable of bringing destructions to any city if they group up. And yet, they were incapable of dealing a one girl.
"I wonder~ Should I bring him for lai to devour~? Or maybe to annoy slope~?"
She giggle before thinking another great idea on her head.
"Right~! She's perfect for fate! She hasn't sex with this monsters right~? Even though she's all horny and stuff, without zeros' permission, which forbid her to have sex to anyone without his permission, I can just bring this once we meet up again~! I'm genius~!"
She licked her lips as she slowly descent towards the running monster.
"But of course~ I should have to satisfy my greediness first before handing it to her~ Though, I am surely wouldn't satisfy to anything except zero sadly~"
...
"Mh~ mh~ mh~ mh~ mh~"
She's humming as she dragged an unconscious monster that looked innocent in frontof her.
It seems like she already tamed it.
"I need more. It's not enough..."
She sighed before spotting something from a distance. It has been three days since she split from the group. She explored, plundered, tried to fill up her endless greediness, and yet none catch her eyes until today.
She was casually strolling around, dragging the unconscious monster behind her using a net where the monster lay.
"Oh~? A group of people~?"
That's right. What she's currently seeing right now is a group of hunters. Though, she didn't know this yet at the moment. She only thought of them as group of people wondering around.
...
At the said group, there were six of them. They consists two women and four guys. It seems like they were in the middle of a mission, considering how tense they currently are.
"You said three days ago, a person was chasing a monster?"
The tall man in the middle asked. He has a long scar on his forehead, probably another traumatic reminder what could've been.
He was wearing a pretty much standard clothing for hunters. Leather jackets that has black t-shirt inside. Leather gloves and a cap. Leather pants and boots. And a huge backpack behind his back. It may seems much but the materials made out of these equipments came from the monster itself.
Yes, they were able to utilise the monsters that terrorised them for many years into their advantage.
"Yes. That's what the report say captain reed."
The guy wearing a glasses replied. He was talking to their captain who is known as the number one hunter on their city, Reed Parlo.
"I see..."
The captain muttered. He was thinking
How could such person exists? If they were able to chase monsters like it was nothing, then we must take caution.
He looked back towards the ruined city behind them, and wonder. Is this really the reality he wanted to live in?
Ruined cities. Strange people. Unprecedented trouble. Monstrosity that shouldn't exists. Why did it all exists at once?
I wonder... If there is a world where everything is peaceful... No harm... No constant danger... No nothing.. Just. Pure. Peace...
He thought as he goes back, he was distracting him away from his current goal right now.
And that is to find the strange person who was caught by the satellite three days ago. Even though disaster struck, it wasn't able to destroy satellites or any similar space crafts. Though the facilities who were controlling it is the one that got destroyed.
"For now, we explore and tried to cover this area more effectively and quicker. Only then we should be able to find that 'person' on the mission."
"Yes captain!!"
All of his men salute at him before walking towards the car beside them. It was their transportation they bought.
Just your usual armoured car.
After few seconds later, catain reed was about to leave when he saw someone in the distance.
The person was in the middle of the ruined city. They were casually walking towards him with no care in the world.
It's like the ruined city didn't bother them.
Once he squint his eyes to get a better view of the person or rather, a variable in the distance, he was shocked.
There, he saw eli fully naked. No clothes, no underwear, no nothing. She was out here without any clothes whatsoever. And yet the look on her face says she didn't care.
"A... naked girl?..."
That's not right... A lone girl, casually strolling around with no weapons equipments?
He muttered before widding his eyes. There, he saw what he though. Not only she was naked but she was also dragging something behind her. And once he got a clear view, he was shocked.
She was dragging a net, and inside that net is an unconscious monster. The same monster who usually gave them trouble. And yet she was dragging it around like a bag or something.
This made him shocked even more. That's not possible, no. It's simply impossible. That's what he keep thinking.
"Halt."
He ordered the squad as they all stopped heading towards the car. One of the girls asked.
"Why?"
She was wearing the same as the rest but for girls. Her name is Kia Parlo. Yes, she is the captain's one and only daughter.
That is right, the girl who asked rudely is his own daughter that has been assigned to him.
"Get ready. We might discover something unexpected."
He said seriously before pulling out his weapon. It was a semi auto shotgun that looked like it came from the future.
"Captain!... What are you doing--"
Before they could finish asking, he slowly point ahead of them. They stopped before slowly looking towards the direction he was aiming at.
Once they saw it, they all widden their eyes.
"A person?..."
One of the boys muttered before he pulled out his weapon. It was a futuristic pistol that can fire lazer rather than bullets as monsters it was useless for those monsters.
One by one, everyone followed suite. Despite doubting their captain earlier on what he was doing, they finally understand why.
It would really be strange if they didn't doubt a young looking girl who was naked casually strolling around in a place like this while dragging an unconscious monster inside the net she was using to drag around.
"Hold your fire. Despite her appearance we don't know if she's hostile or not. She might not be even a human in the first place."
"Yes, captain!"
Everyone respond as they all aimed at the girl, who in question, was slowly getting closer to them.
After few seconds of intense waiting, the girl finally arrived before them.
She was standing still, doing nothing. No extra movements, no nothing. But one thing they know is her eyes were dull. Very dull.
"You... Who are you?..."
Captain reed asked as he pointed his gun towards her head. If he notice a slight movement, he won't hesitate to shoot.
The girl didn't answer. She just tilt her head on the right side, like seeing humans for the first time. Curious, and confuse at the same time.
"Hey! His asking you! Answer immediately or we'll shoot!"
The girl just looked at them yet again. This time, her head tilt to the left.
"Can you speak?"
One of the girls asked as she slowly lower her weapon.
"If so, then I--"
Before she could step, captain reed stopped her by blocking her way with his left hand. He was cautious against whatever is in front of them.
"But captain, maybe she can't speak or communicate and need someone's help?"
"I know. But we can't casually get close to her. What if it's a trap? I'll rather risk my life than take a risk for my subordinates. Let's wait and watch for now."
"Understood, sir..."
She stopped all her intentions as she aim her weapon again.
"If you can't speak nor communite, you can nod to say yes, or shake your head for no."
Captain reed instruct the girl in front of her who looked innocent yet have a dull and empty eyes.
The girl slowly lower her head, indicating she was about to nod when she stopped mid way.
Then slowly raise her head. There, they saw the most unforgettable and yet traumatic smile they ever seen in their entire life.
"Munch. Munch."
She muttered before her hand slowly expanded. It then shifting into a unrecognisable flesh. At her hand was slowly transforming into a huge monster like mouth, drooling an acid like liquid that melts the ground below.
This made everyone shocked. The girls looked like they want to puke by how her right arm were turning into something flesh like that has a mouth at the end of it.
"W-what is that--"
Before the guy could finish, the mouth move at unbelievably speed towards him. And in an instant, the mout devoured him as a whole before retracting back.
This made them flinched and disperse.
W-what was that!... It was so fast I couldn't follow it!!
Captain reed thought as he remember a mouth passing by him. It was fast. Super fast. Like there wasn't any outside force or gravity to stop or slow it down.
"Everyone fire! It's a monster!! Prepare your weapons and fire--"
Before captain reed finish his instructions, the mouth appeared in front of him in an instant. Like it teleported in front of him.
"Wha--"
The huge monstrous mouth proceeds to eat him. Gobbling him whole like he was just another snack.
"Captain!!!!"
The remaining squads shouted as they rush towards their now eaten captain. The mouth didn't move, ignoring the rushing squad mates of captain reed.
"I'll kill you!!!!!!"
Kia, the daughter of reed was shocked of his father's sudden death. She couldn't believe he died in front of her without her doing anything to save him.
At first, she was sad. Grieving on his death. But then anger surface.
Revenge. That's what all in her mind. And by using this new fuel she found, it gave her enough energy to face whatever monster in front of her.
"Die!!!!"
She shouted as her double pistol that looks futuristic glowed. She aimed at the girl, who was standing still even now.
"[Parallel Beam]!!!!!"
She fired and two blue beam with red lightings all over it came out from the two pistol.
It look like anyone would be disentegrate. Though, she was not safe either. The recoil from the blast was so much that she was thrown 100 meters back, hitting hard a wrecked wall.
The attack may be strong but the recoil is much as strong as the damage.
While kia was slowly recovering from the recoil, the attack didn't do anything. The mouth just ate it.
Yes, it ate the beam that kia fired like it was eating a bread.
"Kia!--"
The one who called kia's name got eaten once he called her. It was one of the boys who has a crush on her. And yet, he died. Or should I say, eaten alive?
"E-everyone..."
She muttered as she tried to get up. Her head was bleeding due to the impact of the recoil. Her right arms were bent side way, testament to how strong the feedback she recieved.
She saw everyone slowly getting eaten one by one through her right eye as the other eye were damaged from the wall earlier.
"R-run..."
That was the last word she could utter before falling on the ground. Her body was slowly giving up on her as she kept watching her squadmates getting devour until to the last one.
She was hopeless, despair creep in as she realized how dangerous and deadly the job she admire when she was a little kid.
This was the moment she finally understood the words her father muttered to her.
One moment of letting your guard down is the moment you lose...
I get it now... Dad... I finally realized what you meant with those words...
I'm... Sorry... For not... Listening... And believing...
After the last 'meal', the mouth slowly retract to the girl's arms and slowly change back. It was as if nothing happened.
"Hm."
The girl hummed, as if what she did was natural thing to do. Well, it was.
After all, the girl is eli all along. It was all an act. You wonder why bother?
If you see a girl, smiling brightly while dragging an unconscious monster with full clothes and no injuries in the middle of a wrecked city, how would you react?
Of course, you would be instantly cautious as it should not be possible. The same goes for the squad she encounter. They wouldn't even question her and straight up blasting at her since they encounter similar situations due to some unique monsters.
That is why she put an act, creating a perfect illusion to let these people drop their ground for a bit. How did she know? She stole some hunters she encounter yesterday, and fortunately enough, she found the right memories for this act.
And in order to do this, she stole the lights on her eyes, making it dull. She then proceed to steal her own emotions, removing any kinds of hindrance on this act. And lastly, remove all of her clothes, add some fake injuries, and vuala. You got your perfect illusion.
"Now, let's try my theory, shall we?"
She emotionlessly muttered, before a bright glow enveloped her. It was like how a caterpillar turn into a beautiful butterfly.
What she's doing right now is absorbing what she just ate. That's right, she's absorbing the people she ate earlier.
Using their emotions and the light on their eyes, she was able to restore her own. She did this because her [Sin Factor] acts like how a real steal works. You can only steal, not put it back where it belong.
Meaning, the real emotions she have back then was permanently gone. But the emotion from the people she devour serves as a catalyst for a new hope.
"Ah! It work!"
She smiled as she slowly felt her emotion going back.
"I'm glad I tried it. I guess I'll inform lai about his [Sin Factor]. Though, he wouldn't really care."
She giggle before walking towards the last member of the squad. The girl who was unconscious due to the damage she recieved from her own attack earlier.
She stole one of lai's mouth monster like flesh before she depart on the first day. It was weird for lai but when eli explain he could produce an infinite of them, he easily agreed.
He knows she wouldn't lie as she was a person who is true to their words. And it prove useful for her as she can only steal and not absorb, nor return what she stole on either her self or on others.
Well, not that she wouldn't return them anyway. Once she got it, it's hers forever now. No one can stop her except zero.
"Hm~"
While she was humming towards the unconscious girl, she was thinking about what to do to her.
"Maybe steal her soul, life force, and consciousness, put it on a book so it is alive, before stealing her hostality and her betrayal so she would remain forever loyal to me?"
She nodded. It has an appeal, but the missing ingredient for it to work is the book itself.
Also, why book instead of any other objects? Well, she's constantly thirst for new knowledge, new experiences, and new suprises the life could give her.
And it needed a storage in order to contain them. And what better object than a book? Not only it is efficient and easy ro carry, you could also avoid being suspected by anything.
"That's it! That's it!"
