It had taken me almost a week to return to Hallr; while I had learned about the trail, it had taken a very long time for me to understand I was walking in the wrong direction. Things only got worse when the 'party' was finally devoured and turned into 'Party Jerky.' The Yang Qi I gained was quite resilient, making my spear rise up for days.
My cravens grew so much I contemplated having my way with some random beast, but I was far too prideful for that, and it was a little too much even for me... Although if they had a human body, I am definitely down...Does that make it bestiality?
Entering my apartment, residing over a small tavern. I sighed in relief after a week's journey; I quickly hopped into a warm bath before I heard a loud knock against my door. Frowning in annoyance, I covered my lower half with a towel before making my way to the door with a hint of frustration.
"Yes," I begrudgingly asked, looking at the foxy brunet that knocked. Her legs reminded me a little of Victoria, but her buns were definitely bigger. Gulping down, she grew red hot, eyeing me up and down like meat. Seeing my wet body, she crossed her legs, trying hard not to react.
This was not the first time I had seen such a reaction. Ever since I started the Abyssal body, I had many women reacting as such. Honestly, it was annoying. I kinda understand why women are disdainful when we stare. Having it done so much can be really disgusting.
Smiling, I licked my lips, "See what you like?"
Nodding, she suddenly blushed before giving me a light cough, "Arsene Snow, by order of the Jarl, you along with every new entry are required to work if they plan on living within Hallr."
"Oh, I see, but why wasn't I notified when I entered this city? Would you recommend anything? I was a detective in my last place of residence; they called me the Ashen Inquisitor." I lightly said, remembering I didn't do anything required of my job description.
"Inquisitor?" she absentmindedly said as she glanced down at the bulge in my towel. It wasn't even hard, but the outline was still present as she blatantly stared.
Damn, this girl must be thirsty. Wait, I am a devil/demon. Do I have a sinful effect on people? Smiling brightly at the thought, I smirked, "Ma'am?"
"Oh...Sorry," she begrudgingly said, "It's always been like this if you have stayed over two weeks, then by law, you must work unless you can cover rent and taxes, but judging from where you stay I will say you can't, but can you help with the recent murders? My team and I currently have zero clues."
"Team? Is this not your job?" I questioned. The foxy woman before me seems to be a part of immigration. For her to be both was even stranger.
"We do everything. The Jarl is not a very bright man, so we have to take on other responsibilities." Said the foxy woman with a lustful smile. "...Umm, so can you help?"
"Yes, it's easy, really. I hear that the killer has been dumping the bodies at various sites, just make a list and calculate the area he has been in. From there, the approximate location of where he will be. If he has lived in Hallr for long, it will be even easier to find an approximate location to look in. Instead of looking blindly, we can narrow down and find a pattern to his actions.
This may actually work, but it's weird...I wonder if I could find myself. Has a killer truly tried to find himself? I mean, actually, work with the police trying not to get caught. I wonder how good I really am? If I get too close, I could just frame someone or Leave I was planning to anyway.
Widening her eyes, I saw the little fox open her mouth wide as she gasped, her foxy-like ears twitching cutely. "By the Frya's blade, this may help," she yelled, clenching my palm with amazement.
With a flick of qi to my towel, not enough for her to notice, it fell as she suddenly froze. Like she had broken, I looked down as my cock suddenly twitched.
"AAHHH" she screamed, "NO NO NO, BAD Lisa, you are married!"
My eyes seem to flash, but my desire didn't fade but rather increase at the word married. "He would never know Lisa. Or we could go at each other at your place. I'm sure he will not mind. I heard stuff like this really brings a marriage together.
Getting closer, I saw her quiver as my flaccid cock pressed against her garden through her clothing. She had never looked away. Like it was the only thing to her she nodded, before shaking her head, pushing me away with lustful eyes. Her legs were all but quivering as she clenched her fist. Trying her hardest to resist the temptation, "NOOO!!!"
Laughing, I picked up my towel, "Well, if you ever change your mind, my door is always open."
Nodding, Lisa covered her mouth, "O-O-O K-K-K."
"Now, if you will excuse me, I was in the middle of a bath; I will visit your station or whatever you call it."
Watching as Lisa closed my door still, I grinned menacingly, "Well, either she has no social skill or my beauty is increasing even more than I thought. I may even learn some sexy moves. Damn, I should have listened to Eroma when he was talking.
Smiling, I looked up at the rising sun; I had returned rather early, but it was for the best. Looking at my dragon beginning to rise, I sighed, "Why the hell are you hard now? She already left."
Groaning in annoyance at being a man, I quickly got dress before sending a glance towards the shadows inside my room, "You know it's been a few hours, you can come out. It's a little creepy you have been watching me since Lisa appeared.
Stepping out of the shadows, I saw a very muscular man draped in all black as he held a dagger by his waist. His cultivation was around the peak of Gate of Man while he held a rather dark aura around his body.
"I was sent by Drulan. He wishes a word with you." He coldly said as if assuming I knew who that was.
"Oh, Ok," I innocently said with a smile. "Do you know how long it will take? That little fox form before is waiting. "
"Just follow me," He lightly said, snorting with disdain as he turned his back. With an innocent air, my body flashed as my arm dug through his chest and heart in one swift movement.
Watching as blood dripped from his chest, the assassin opened his mouth wide, "WH... WH...Why?" he begged as the light within his eyes slowly began to fade.
"I don't even know who this Drulan is. Sending an assassin to me, then telling me to follow you. You must be super arrogant or just plain stupid." I coldly said, twisting my arm within his body as he gave one final cry before sweet death.
"Drulan...wasn't it that man that Roald talked about. Base on how he sent an assassin to force me to him, he must be a criminal. It seems he is doing the same thing Lisa was. Gathering new arrivals and forcing them to do his bidding. He must have a major network." I said aloud, eyeing the blooded corpse with a vicious smile.
Severing the head of the man, I tossed it out of my room for the world to see. I wanted them to find me; Killing innocents was one thing but having the rush of being hunted was even more exhilarating. While it was dangerous, I needed it. In Asterion, I had years to plan, but here everything will be coming at me quickly.
Licking my lips, I quickly got dress before leaping over the balcony stomping on the head of my assassin as many gasped at the mass of brain matter covering my feet., "Sup, anyone knows some bitch named Droma...No, it's Boomboom...Naw Drulan. Yes, drulan. He was the bitch that sent this idiot after me." I yelled as everyone turned their heads in fear. Shrugging my shoulders, I continued on with my day.
Hallr, or in fact maybe all of Midgard, were crazy regarding their rules of self-defense. I really don't understand why they even have guards if killing is legal.
Asking around, I beamed before heading south, a little off from the slums of Hallr. I had found a place in the east, and it wasn't anything great, but it did the job. Walking for a few hours, I suddenly started feeling the intent of various people following me.
With a ruthless gleam, I blended into the crowd before applying darkness to my presence. Seeing a few people rush out, I grinned as true intent filled my palm. Cold sweat was against my brow as I grinned, feeling two mid-Gates of Life warriors.
"Arsene...don't do it. Don't do it," I whispered to myself as my left eye began to pulse. Fueling it with qi, my perception began to slow as I appeared before one of the mid-Gate of Life warriors. This opportunity was too great... The rush of death was too sweet to miss.
With a mask of innocents, Dragonsbanes appeared before anyone noticed, stabbing towards his spine. With darkness consuming my spear, I had just entered his fleshed before he shot a backhand towards my head.
Dodging forwards, I pushed Dragonsbane into his spine as blood gushed over my face. Smoke quickly began to appear, flowing from his back as I grinned, leaping in a hurry away as another warrior rushed at me.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH, " The injured warrior screamed, falling to his knees as tears ran from his face.
"LOR!!" he screamed as a massive amount of killing intent filled the void. My back was full of sweat as I grinned, feeling excitement I had never felt before. With the reaper's blade against my neck, I met with the man that bellowed.
In his hands was a long greatsword ready to slip me in half. The air began to slit and shift as I sidestepped. A deep gash of air slicked through my clothing, leaving a white mark against my skin; however, no blood was drawn as I twirled Dragsonsbane towards his neck.
"Shit" he yelled in surprise, but my instincts were screaming, telling me that Lor, as the man called him, rushed at me with a massive spear. Knowing there was not enough time, I stomped, dashing backward behind an unsuspecting group of what looked to be friends that wished to watch my battle.
Pushing a few of them, I watched as Lor bellowed, "COWARD."
Not caring, I shot forward with a slight scoff of disdain as Lor pierced through two bystanders in an instant. Taking the chance, Dragonsbane shot forth towards his neck for the kill when I suddenly frowned as a massive gush of wind shot towards my neck. Pushing Dragonsbane up at the last second, I was blasted away in an instant.
Blood gushed from my palm as I went flying in the air like a rag doll. A rush of ecstasy filled me as my feet skidded over the pavement, tearing through my shoes as I stopped with a cruel smile.
"AHAHAHAHA, MORE!!!!" I screamed, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"MORE!!!!"
