Chapter 120 - Heading Home (3)

I just watched as my arm laid there on the ground while blood continued to pour from both the arm and from the stump that was left over. I was a bit confused and amazed at the speed It was cut off. But nonetheless I was here for my food and this fatboy just brought me some fantastic gifts to add to my skill list.

I did a quick scan of all four guards and was trying very hard to contain my smile. Each of them had a different skill selection but the problem was that they only had 3 each....

I was intrigued just by the variety alone. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into those juicy looking skills but I was stopped by Bruce who took this time to speak up.

"You see that? You couldn't even stop them from removing your arm so how are you even thinking of killing me? Let alone leave here alive." He smirked like he just won but everyone in the room went from smiling to frowning as they saw the arm start to dissolve and turn to dust, then my stump started to grow. I was holding back my regeneration to make sure the terror had maximum impact before I fought them. I wanted as much flavor as possible.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING KILL IT BEFORE IT FINISHES!" Bruce screamed while he ran out of the room. Dammit again with this.

Sigh, "Listen, you don't have to follow his orders. I have a base that could definitely use your talents. If you can cut off my arm than you're plenty qualified to join me and my base. I'll only give you this one chance so what do ya say?" I looked at each of them directly in the eyes to make sure they could see the sincerity in my eyes, aswell as the obvious threat.

"Ha, like a lizard like you could do anything to us four. We have battled creatures like you before and won easily. You won't get away from us, Bruce paid us quite a bit to be his security for the night and so far every problem has been dealt with." The guy known as Johnny spoke up as he got in my face. 

"Pretty ballsy of you to get this close." I said to him while we were eye to eye.... well more like eye to snout since my face was longer than his is but you get the idea.

"Oh yea? And why is that?"

"Because I'm hungry that's why." 

Crunch Snap

With a quick boost from boosting my muscles with power I quickly bit off his face before chewing a little bit and swallowing.

The now faceless Johnny was just standing there with no face, no eyes, nothing but meat over a skull. It took a few seconds before the screams of pain started, He wailed and cried in agony as he fell to the ground and started twitching all over before finally his voice died down and his body stopped moving.

"One Down, now I didn't recieve an answer from the three of you? Want to be my snack? Or will you join me? I don't have money but what I do have is a starting base that could really use some talent to protect it and help it grow."

A hand rose up while trembling, it was one of the women, Sara that raised her hand. She looked terrified and was having a hard time keeping it together while she kept glancing over at the faceless body of the now dead Johnny

"I-I-I will join you, please just don't kill me!"

As if that was the opening cue the others also raised their hands and agreed to follow me. 

"Great, so go outside tell Bruce that I was killed but unfortunately Johnny got killed with me. Tell him it was so traumatic that you need to leave and then go up to the Inn and look for a DRAGONOID LIKE ME! His name is Gaia and he is my brother, tell him I am just finishing up here and that you have joined me and that I'll be back shortly."

They nodded and walked over to Johnny to pick him up.

"Eh eh eh, Leave him. He got in my face and obviously refused my offer, plus like I said.... I'm hungry."

I heard a very audible gulp before they left in a hurry. Once the door shut behind them I was left alone in silence once again. Using my sharp claws I tore apart the body and using the electricity in my body I started to cook the meat and organs while also getting rid of any unpleasant things like the guts and other waste organs.

After a few minutes the room smelled absolutely divine with the smell of freshly cooked long pork in the air. One bite from a particularly muscled area was dripping with oils and grease as I devoured it all. Gotta say for being a human in my past life, I sure do love the taste of em now.

[New DNA detected. Beginning Assimilation... Complete.]

[User has fully assimilated DNA. Gained skills x3]

[Eviscerate lvl 0, 0/10 - Tear into enemies directly in front of you in a 180 degree arc, causing bleeding damage]

[Rupture lvl 0, 0/10 - You knock a single enemy back with a devastating strike. After a brief delay, the target explodes, damaging all foes within 4 meters.]

[Blood Hunger lvl 0 0/10 - Whenever you land a critical strike with a melee weapon, you draw life essence from the carnage, healing your wounds. (5% at first level and increases by 0.5% with each subsequent level up).]

Ahhh the sweet rush of power that comes with learning new skills. I just can't get over the rush I feel. I enjoyed getting that Blood Hunger skill, it did the same thing as my Vamparism but it would be an added bonus plus it could level up and do more where as Vamparism was just more or less a very background passive ability.

*Now time for the fatboy.* I thought as I walked out of the room and used Detection to map out the immediate area... Or not, as all around me was nothing but pitch blackness as something was blocking my mana from dispersing out like usual. I couldn't rely on it this time like I usually do so I was going to have to go off of my regular senses this time.

I took it slowly as I walked down a hallway to my left and started to notice that it was seriously silent, like really silent to the point I didn't want to breathe and disrupt it. I continued to walk a bit longer until I came upon a large doorway that was locked when I tried to open it. Looking at it a bit closer I could see Runes on it but I was surprised I didn't get shocked and thrown back like before, so this door must have some other kind of security measures on it. 

I reached to touch it again but soon had to draw my hand back in a hurry just as a silver flash of black glided down right where my hand just was. I look over and there standing a couple feet away was a man straight from fuedal Japan. Samurai outfit and everything including the ponytail. The black flash I saw was his blade that was slowly being sheathed, It looked so cool that I wanted it, I didn't care about not using it for fighting but solely from a nerd who saw a cool sword.

"Who are you and why are you trying to break into the warehouse?" The Samurai asked me while still handling the tip of the hilt.

"So, this is the warehouse huh? I wonder what is being kept in here? Maybe some slaves? Ooo, or maybe some priceless antique Legendary Gear!" I was getting excited more and more as my thoughts ran a little wild and derailed my train of thought.

THe samurai drew his sword one and pointed it at me with one hand. "Whatever your goal here today is, I will not sit by idly. I am sworn to protect this place by my master and nothing will stand in my way."

"You mean Bruce is your Master? That fat tub of lard that will look nice being roasted over an open fire with an apple in his mouth? The only question I have for you is why?"

He looked at me in confusion but shook his head and regained his composure. 

"I do not serve The Auctioneer. I serve my Lord Maou, She is here today to participate in todays auction. She could tell something was going on and sent me to see what the situation was, and here you are, some thief trying to break into the Auction warehouse. What else am I supposed to do except take action?"

"You could just let me go? My only goal here is Bruce and that's it, I just happened to get curious and wanted to look around." 

"Hehe, he's telling the truth Tamachi." A puff of black smoke appeared and a figure was seen as it slowly dissipated. It was a young woman with azure blue hair and two black horns that jutted out from her forhead and then slicked back at an angle.

She was wearing a Striped white and brown button up shirt over top a beige skirt. She had curves in all the right places, two cannons that threatened to destroy humanity in front and an ass that came out just enough to tease the viewers with a small slit up the side that showed some skin. All you would have to do is give her some black rimmed glasses and she would look like the smoking hot librarian every straight man lusts after.

She smiled looking at me and with a snap of her fingers a pair of the exact same glasses I thought about appeared in her hand. "You sure do have a good choice in women dragon. I must say Usually when dealing with creatures I appear as another creature but for you I look very close to my original appearance."

I just stood there awestruck while looking at her. I felt a draw towards her body that was starting to turn my mind hazy that even shaking my head couldn't disrupt.

"Oh pardon me let me fix that." Snap, With the snap of her fingers my mind became clear and I could focus again.

"Pesky Charm am I right? Anyways, I am Lord Maou or well for you handsome...." She stopped talking as she came up and leaned into my ear.

"You can call me Mara..." She stepped away with a seductive grin as she looked right in my eyes that filled me with temptations and very NSFW ideas.

AHEM Cough, Cough "Lady Mara, Is it wise to be doing this now? Shouldn't we report this creature for trying to break into the Auctioneer's warehouse?"

"No, I believe we are done here for today... and judging from my new friends face.... quite possibly forever. Why don't we go ahead and do a little exploring while we are here? Tamachi, keep a lookout while me and my new friend here go shopping."

"Ugh.... Yes, my lady." Tamachi turned and stood watch near one of the intersections in the hallways while Mara took me by the arm and walked up to the door.

"New Friend?" I asked while looking down at her on my left. She smiled and giggled while also at the same time fully embracing my arm between her soft, and volumptuous breast.

She waved her hand at the door and all the runes sparked as they died out and the door started to open little by litte. AFter it fully opened what appeared was a cornucopia of treasures. There was literal piles of gold stacked next to armor that gleamed a heavenly glow, On one side I saw weapons that were levitating within magical glowing glass cases and besided those were many different accessories like rings and bracelettes like what you would see at a jewelry store. I just looked at all there was while my brain tried to process what exactly I was seeing.

"Wonderful isn't it? Most of this is what I have sold to the auction before. Well sold wouldn't really describe it accurately but more like loaned for a price."

She walked up to one of the glass cases that held a weapon and ran her hand along it for a second before turning back to me. "So, I might have a job offer for you.... Interested?"
