Chapter 278: Thrill of the Kill

As the two bodies cooled on the rocks in a pool of their own blood and guts, in the shadows of the cave-like platform, away from the public eye, Felicia stepped away from the encroaching blood, pressing against the railings to avoid even a drop touching her naked feet or her snow-white hair that reached the ground.

“Why did you do that!?” Felicia protested the masked girl’s actions.

“Since when did you develop hearing problems? Are those stupidly long ears just for show?” the masked girl asked while she still basked in the aftermath of her bloody killings. Her moans of pleasure grew rarer and quieter, rather, she now seemed to purr like a cat while warm blood soaked through her robes, seeped through the holes of her white mask, and dripped on her closed eyes, flowing across her face like bloody tears that she licked up with joy, savoring its metallic taste.

This lasted for far too long as far as Felicia was concerned, yet far too briefly for the blood-drenched girl. She breathed in and out, slowly, deeply, enjoying the final moments of the passing excitement. With her back toward Felicia, the girl lifted up her mask and licked a little bit of blood off the blade of her dagger. But it was already different. The thrill of the kill came and went, the blood on her blade had already cooled. With her high passing, the blood on the blade was now no better than the blood under her feet, cold and dirty, nothing like when it is freshly spilled from a warm, living, breathing body, pumped out through cut arteries by a failing heart.

The girl sighed, and—finally turning her attention to Felicia—said, “I told you, didn’t I? They would have ratted me out as soon as we returned to the palace.”

“But why kill them here? You could have just gotten rid of them somewhere in the tunnels later! What If somebody saw you from below?”

“... So?”

“‘So?’ You risk ruining the mysterious image of the supreme overseers of the games!”

“Oh, give me a break! Every single shitter here knows that this entire event is run by the Guild! ‘Thelicia Fundershnauf’? Ha!”

“That’s the point!” Felicia hissed through grit teeth in a low voice, letting her frustration show too obviously.

“They never start on time,” someone pointed out.

“Waiting for those late cummers foot fetishists, haha!”

“But this is too long!”

Hearing the growing unrest, Felicia quickly clarified, “Are there any other ‘experiments’ I should be aware of before we proceed?”

“No, no, that was just the one.”

“Alright, then we resume—”

“Absolutely! Next are the duels, right?”

“Correct,” Felicia nodded, without appreciation for getting interrupted.

“Great! There’s just one small change that we’ll make for this round.”

Oh, no! Felicia had a bad feeling about this.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
