Chapter 305 Mex And Calabro, As Stupid As You Look
"The wall isn't going to give you the answers that you are looking for," Mex said as he sipped his tea, watching Calabro.
The Manticore turned his lion head back to The Demon Lord and now was giving him a pointed look. Calabro always hated how this creature always displayed such calmness, no matter the situation.
"Getting excited or upset won't help anything. Now, I can see how you were tricked. The Witch of the Sea can change her body to he chooses. What I am having trouble figuring out is how you were able to get away?" Mex asked after digging into the beast's mind.
The Manticore tried to jump up to yell at Mex, but then Mex Tea crashed to the ground. Both of them were on the ground, groaning as Nixi walked into the room.
"This child is of that witch that chased us across the sea to this cursed island! You will place her under our protection, and the father will serve as a watchdog to make sure that she is safe. If we are ever to get off this island, then she will be our ticket to leaving the place!" Nixi ground as she glared at the two men who were now whimpering in pain as the little red Demon used her overwhelming presence to crush them down.
Both men groaned as cuts on Calabro re-opened, along with wounds that were long since scars on Mex. Neither of them made any more sound than they needed to, and Nixi didn't bother waiting for either of the two to reply.
"Who does that woman think she is?" Calabro asked in a low voice long after Nixi had left and the pressure faded.
"You really are as stupid as you look," Mex scoffed as he picked himself off the ground and scowled at the broken teacup and spilled contents on the floor.
"What did you say to me, you two-legged freak?!" Calabro growled as he picked himself up from the straw.
"You do remember that I did just save your life, right?" Mex said, turning his frown on the Manticore.
"What I remember is you took the woman that was supposed to be mine! Their father had promised Candice to me when she was of age to breed!" Calabro declared but then was crushed back to the ground with a roar of real pain.
Mex was furious and targeted all his pressure into Calabro, making him squirt blood. The idea that one creature would give another away like that drove Mex crazy because of his own forced couplings.
"No one gets to choose for Candace or Veronica! They can make their own choices, and she chose me! Stop acting like a spoiled child! You have your own to raise now, and you have no choice!" Mex roared, the fury pouring out of him, but the broken creature would not give up and pushed against Mex.
"Have you seen the thing that I created? I am a monster; that is an abomination! How am I to raise a creature that holds half the power of something so wretched?!" The Manticore roared, and the two railed at each other in a contest of wills.
"You will learn, or you can go tell my grandmother that you aren't going to listen to her," Mex growled as he released the pressure and relaxed.
The Demon Lord knew that there was no point in him getting mad about this. Nixi had spoken, so it would happen, where this creature wanted to take responsibility for what he had done or not.
The years had passed, and now Mex stood at the top of the second level, watching the enraged Manticore-man. Calabro had just leaped onto the platform that had the net ladder to get to this level.
Noel said to help Mex out, she would end it as soon as one of them made it to the top. This meant that they could work as a team to complete the course, but that was about as likely as Gnoll befriending a Troglodyte.
"You know that we could work together to complete this course, right? Instead of me killing you over and over again, right?" Mex asked while keeping an eye on the tunnel of slamming walls, waiting for an opening to run through.
AT this point, Mex was almost ready to let Calabro kill him just once so he could concentrate on moving forward. There were much better things that he could be doing with his time rather than killing this insane creature over and over.
"You are the reason that my life has been such a waste! You came to this island and stole everything-" Calabro started to yell as he pulled himself to where Mex was standing and had his head kicked clear off his shoulders.
The Manticore man's body fell back and disappeared in a cloud of smoke, and then Calabro fell from a hole in the sky. It was his fifth death, so he fell from twenty-five feet up in the air into the soon-to-be boiling water.
Mex shook his head, turned back to the slamming walls in front of him, and focused.
Four sets of walls moved around in an intricate pattern at high speeds. If you touched any part of one of the eight moving sections, the other side would slap around faster than the eye could move, even for Mex.
Whatever was caught would be crushed and ripped off your body. The worst part was that the first one started a chain of walls crushing your body until you died.
"From ME! You took it all! I will never forgive you, and I will chase you to the… HEY!"
Once on top of the first block, Calabro started up again but started screaming, "Stop! Ahhh!!!"
Mex rolled his eyes and got ready to make an attempt as Tuxedo Maskless cut Calabro in two. The Ex-Demon Lord knew his own time was limited here and dashed forward.
