The Villain's Story

Chapter 239 [239]...Eat.



A horrifying being, one that would make you vomit at the mere sight of its horrid flesh.

An Amalgamation of more terrifying visages than the one Benson encountered before.

With an adult female face plastered on it in the front and other faces of children on its body, from their mouths coming bladed limbs that would rip apart its prey.

The being was mortifying to look at...

The eyes on the faces of the children are pitch black, the adult face belonging to the owner of the orphanage now turned into this...

Benson held his breath as he observe the creature closely. He knew his skill was good, it wouldn't notice him even if he was standing in front of it.

The flesh beneath it moved...

It traversed the room, its body wriggling, the bladed limbs scraping the floor.

"..Do..cu...meennttsss?"

A metallic, unnatural voice emerged from who knows where on its body.

It carefully placed the documents back inside, and then laughed eerily.

How terrifying...it was.

It's intelligence was even more creepy.

Benson was as still as a rack, the only part of his body moving were his eyes.

[Weakness Detection has been activated.]

He activated his skill to detect the weakness of this monstrosity...but to his shock...there was none.

From what he could see, there were none.

He waited for the monster to move, trying to find a weakness on the other side...enhancing the mana in his body...until.

It turned it's head an entire 180 degrees...and stared straight at Benson.

"..."

Benson remained calm and immediately canceled the mana in his body.

'It's sensitive to mana movement...'

He concluded, judging from the reaction of the monstrosity.

'I don't think it has found me yet.'

He thought.

"I see.... you!"

Suddenly, the bladed limbs rushed towards him.

Benson immediately fortified himself with Mana and dodged whatever attack he could...

But a few still managed to hit, denting his armor.

The monstrosity screamed as Benson cut off a few of its limbs.

"KYAAAA!"

Benson left the room, entered the hallway, and ran.

The space was too small for him to fight well.

The monster followed him from the door, destroying everything in its way and Benson jumped through the window and exited the building...but the thing didn't follow him.

It just stared at him, from the highest floor, through the broken window and Benson glared at it from beneath.

"It's smart...huh."

It didn't leave the terrain advantageous for it.

"I should wait for backup...

Then we can take that thing down..."

He said, looking at his watch to check the time, but the moment he looked up.

'It' was gone.

**********

[Sometime later.]

"We have arrived, Sir."

A hunter from Twilight said, addressing Benson.

"Have you brought everyone?"

Benson asked.

"Yes sir, An entire team of C-rank hunters, two B ranks, and a team of Forensics experts and Light mages have arrived."

Benson nodded, before handing the man the plastic bag containing the flesh he found.

"Give this to the forensics team, and tell them to examine it. Tell the Light mages to surround the building with a holy barrier and the C ranks to stay outside and guard the perimeter.

The B ranks will be going inside with me."

"Yes sir!"

After a while, a holy barrier was set up and Benson went Inside with the Two other B ranks.

The monster wasn't strong enough to take even one B-rank hunter down...if not for the closed space Benson was in and its size. He would have defeated it.

But he didn't know how many there were...which is why he came with backup.

"We will search from the basement... and move up from there."

"Yes sir."

Th two b rank hunters said and followed Benson to the Basement.

They kicked the door down...and what they found was not something too pleasant for the eyes.

"...demons..."

Benson muttered...he was now sure of it.

The demonic ritual circle is drawn in blood on the ground, multiple corpses of children...all missing their heads, and buckets of blood.

"It's a transportation circle."

One of the B ranks said, examining the circle.

'A transportation circle...

Did they smuggle children...But why?'

"Don't touch anything, search the basement carefully, we don't know what has lingering demonic energy still here."

The team searched the entire basement, finding nothing out of the 'ordinary'.

"Hmmm... let's move up now."

Said Benson as the team gathered around, they were about to depart from the basement when.

*Drip...*

A piece of saliva dripped down from the ceiling.

It didn't even take a moment for all three to scatter...they left the place at once.

They brandished their weapons and enhanced themselves with mana.

The monstrosity dropped from the ceiling...and readied its bladed limbs.

It attacked the three, who all dodged.

The swordsman and Benson, cut the attacking limbs whilst the other blocked with his shield.

The swordsman sent a slash of mana toward the monster, but it dodged.

Benson approached it quickly and cut all of its limbs off. He was going to cut its head but then it regrew its limbs in a flash and Blocked Benson.

"AAAH!"

The shield bearer rammed into the monster, pinning it to the wall. The Swordsman and Benson finished it off immediately after.

The death cries of the monster resembled crying children and the three hunters were even more disturbed as they killed it.

The faces of the children seemed happy, their soulless eyes finding some salvation and only the main Adult Head of the orphanage manager seemed resentful.

It had a quick death...and Benson picked up the corrupted mana crystal it dropped.

"C rank huh..."

he muttered...before the team went to search the entire building.

*****

the findings of the search weren't pleasant.

The pieces of flesh belonged to children that had been devoured, the blood stains were weeks old.

The entire place was abandoned and searched, and multiple sightings of demonic energy were everywhere.

The worst thing was the faces of the children and monsters...all belonged to regular children that had no mana and were combined through horrific means.

Some children...however were missing. Nothing of them was found, not even blood stains or flesh.

And their files were also gone. And all of them were awakened or had mana within them.

Gone, without a single trace left behind.
