Chapter 733 The Pleasure Of Dragons [Pt 1]
The plan was simple, according to the Dragons.
Kat'erin and Shai'ya were positioned close one of the few evacuation gates that the Capital had for situations like this. Their comrades—the backup Dragon Generals sent by the other Dragon Lords that were in support of their Master's plan—were stationed in the other areas as well.
With this network of Dragons, they were going to ensure no one was left alive among those who escaped the incinerated city.
"I never would have thought humans could be so vile, though. They're laying their own city to waste by using Monsters… all for their own selfish ambitions…" Kat'erin muttered, though she showed nothing like remorse or pity as she spoke.
Simply pure amusement.
"They are probably thinking that, since many of the denizens will be evacuated, their plan will still succeed. They have no idea at all, do they, Shai'ya?"
Shai'ya nodded and giggled like a child having fun. "Anyone who escapes will die by our hands! No one is going to escape! They will all be destroyed!"
The two Dragon ladies nodded in conjunction.
"Indeed!"
Everyone was going to perish at their hands.
Right as they thought this, the humans began to pour out like maggots—all of them shrieking and crying as they fled for their dear lives.
The suffering they must have endured to be among those who made it out was evident on their faces, but none of that mattered to Shai'ya and Kat'erin. They simply watched as the humans ran forward, towards the bridge that would lead to the safe woods.
They were both waiting in front of the bridge.
"W-what are you two doing?! Where did you come from?!" The man at the forefront yelled at the Dragons.
He was dressed as a Knight, and he was responsible for leading the people out of the city.
Due to the situation, he was rather impatient—and rightfully so. He had a deep frown, and his evident glare only made his face appear worse. Since the girls did not respond to him on time, he yelled once again.
"Get out of the way! We don't have much time!"
At this point, the people behind him began to push, since more denizens were trying to leave the confines of the burning city. They were being held up by the clogged front.
"What the hell?!"
"Move it! Hurry up already!"
"I don't want to die! What's holding them up over there?!"
"Let us go! Please let us go!"
"We're all going to die, aren't we? Please… please nooo!"
More words erupted, and with more pushing in tow, the Knight decided he had to shove the ladies out of the way, stepping forward to do so.
The reason for his initial hesitation was due to the appearance of the two girls. Their skins were flawless, and their hair magnificent. The robes they donned were of only the highest quality, which made him suspect they were Nobles or people of high standing.
Since the rest of his comrades were still busy fighting, it was clear he was on his own here. He couldn't identify what kind of Nobles they were, and since he was already pressed for time, he had to shove them aside somehow.
"If you won't, then I'll move y—"
"Explode."
~SPLOOOSH!~
The Knight's instantly erupted into a blast of meat and blood—spraying over the horrified people who watched this happen. All their eyes widened in horror as they witnessed this sight.
The gory remains of the night—the pinkish flesh and numerous innards—stuck to the bodies of those it landed on, but the blood was different.
It gathered above Shai'ya, who watched the whole thing with glee.
Kat'erin smiled at her comrade, amused by how she started the rather fun round of killing humans.
"I guess it's my turn…" Raising her hand and pointing it towards the humans, she called forth the name of her Skill.
"[Angel Of Death]"
In an instant, an entity manifested right in front of her.
The being floated in the air and was coated in white. It was translucent, almost incorporeal, as its oversized robe danced about it.
In all senses of the word… it resembled an angel.
This manifestation stood still as Kat'erin broadened her smile and caused her eyes to glow with sheer wickedness.
The confused, scared, and utterly stunned expression of the helpless humans did not stop her from giving the damning order to the entity she just brought forth.
"Kill them all." ~WHOOOSH!~
In a flash—much faster than the blink of an eye—the entity rushed past the humans, having a scythe in its hand.
In one wide swing, hundreds of heads flew into the air.
~SPLOOOSH!~
The blood gathered right above Shai'ya, making the orb of blood even larger than ever. And so, as the Summoned catastrophe easily mowed down the humans that tried to escape, their bodies were drained of the blood they had—down to the last ounce.
The slaughter caused pandemonium, as everyone began to run back—even preferring the destruction that the city offered to the execution that the Dragons were granting them.
Unfortunately for the runaways, none of them were fated to survive this encounter.
"Rain of Blood."
In an instant, the sphere vanished from Shai'ya's position and created a massive cloud above all the humans beneath.
Then, in a single second of sheer silence…
~TIT~
~TAT~
~TIT~
~TAT~
… It released raindrops—BLOODY RAINDROPS.
They were like bullets, and a single one piercing the body of the humans caused them to explode due to the pressure they generated.
Each bloody raindrop had a corrosive element, making them capable of eating and piercing through anything. Adding the immense power they packed, it was overkill for the humans to receive even two of the raindrops, talkless of a shower of it..
"You went and killed them all, Shai'ya. No fair…" Kat'erin watched the whole mutilation, observing as the blood of all the fallen went into her sphere.
Truly, [Absolute Blood Control] was one of the most powerful Skills to possess, and it made Shai'ya an incredibly dangerous person—even by Dragon standards.
"All I gave them was a mild drizzle, though…" She muttered, looking at the devastated landscape with innocent eyes.
One would never believe she was a mass murderer with the cute face she made.
"Guess I went too far."
