Chapter 578: Suicidal

Ember listened to Flavna’s remark and answered, “From where I’m standing, wherever your glorious Purple Capes go death, torture, and rape follow.”

Flavna’s eye twitched and she asked, “Is everyone in your group suicidal?”

Ember shrugged, “Not really, but after what we’ve been through, could you blame us if we were?”

“Gamesh,” Flavna motioned the other captain closer and then asked quietly, “Did you get a reply?”

“Oh, yes,” Gamesh answered. “The Guild supposedly immediately dispatched its main combat force. As for the Palace... I made contact with the Palace Guard. They said they would inform their commander, and that is all I heard from them.”

“What a joke,” Flavna shook her head. “As for you two—”

The sound of a thunderous eruption interrupted the captain. The sound came from outside, far below, in the city. But the damaged fortress was also affected. It trembled, and cracks further spread through the walls. More brickwork was dislodged and another part of the damaged outer wall cracked and collapsed down below. But as the trembling subsided, the fortress still stood.

“What now!?” Flavna ran up to the opening in the wall to take a look at what caused the earthquake. And it did not take more than a second to see the massive, multi-limbed creature crawl from beneath the fortress rubble. “That fucking abomination again!?”

Beatrice’s eyes snapped wide open when she heard that. She let go of Olivia’s bloody body, jumped up, and rushed to the opening. Without even a thought for fear of heights, Beatrice looked straight down and saw the thing that flashed in her mind when she heard the captain speak.

The tentacle demon shed the rubble off its body as it rose to its full form. From above, the demon’s giant, disc-like body, full of countless swellings and lumps of different sizes and colors looked like a plate painted in dark and sickly colors by a disturbed artist.

Beatrice then activated her [Sharp Claws (+2)], and with a scream, “HEY, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT, UP HERE!!” lunged claws-first straight into one of the bigger bubbling festering masses on the demon’s body.
