The battle was reaching a climax, the dead were beginning to fill the ground, but as expected, none of those corpses were part of my group, they were still playing with the animal class, while the others were fighting to the death against some animal class and the two beast class.
Both were of the same species, reptilian devourers.
These beasts are like a "varano", but with eight legs and in each shoulder or thigh, whatever you want to call it, they have mouths with fangs, these mouths have tongues with a bony tip in the form of a harpoon, catching their enemies close and putting them in their mouths, with luck one would only lose an arm or a leg, but the end would be the same, death.
The devourers, were very greedy and hungry animals, their main mouth has three of these tongues and with its thermal sensitivity can detect any enemy 100 meters away.
They are beasts to be respected, they have only two weaknesses, the stomach, which they are always dragging and if one gets on top of them, then they can hardly be reached and can hit them with impunity.
That is because their tongues, with the exception of those located in their main mouth, can only be shot in a straight line.
More than half of the caravan guards were dead or dying.
This made the merchants even more nervous and made them see us worse, us whole and them decimated, they believed that we were not fighting with everything and they were right, but the guards were not necessary, nor did we have the responsibility to save them.
In the worst case scenario, even if they devoured all the members of the caravan it would make no difference, they were possible allies and nothing more than that, possible.
I continued talking placidly while the members of the caravan continued to die, but then one of the devourers broke the line of guards and jumped into the circle of caravans, opened its mouth and launched its three tongues, one of them pointing at me.
I have to say, since I was little there are few things that really bother me, but among them is when they interrupt a good conversation.
With my safe zone I noticed the directions of the tongues and since I wasn't in the mood he was going to pay for it.
I dropped a chain and began to spin it around, when his three tongues had come close to my position, I jumped.
Staying on one side, I threw the chain and with it I caught the tongues, then the end of the chain stuck in the ground, while I stepped on it so that it could not get loose.
With a clear voice I called both Velona, Lilith and Pele.
They were the strongest of our group and with that in mind I asked them to tie him by the tail and hind legs and pull as hard as they could.
They left all their fun and as I ordered, they pierced and tied the devourer by the legs and tail, then started to pull with all their strength.
The beast knew of our intention, but it was impossible for it to even move, the muscles of the tongues were not strong enough to pull me and neither were its legs to pull all three, in less than three minutes, pulling from both sides, a scream of pain and a sickening tearing sound echoed across the battlefield, the beast had lost its three main tongues and was bleeding from its mouth.
With a mocking smile, hidden by my mask, I began to laugh at the disgusting beast that had interrupted me, I sat back down before the terrified gaze of the monkeys and other guards, those who were not fighting to be exact and sat back down, not before asking the girls, along with Balthazar to have fun with the devourer.
The annoying bug didn't last long, but I didn't completely care, I had an interest in the alliance they belonged to and about all the gossip in this area of LAZ.
As someone who was originally in the eastern, inner zone. All the kingdoms and quarrels within the east coast of the central ocean, were far from my knowledge, especially now that I can't log off and look at the forums.
How I miss the Internet...
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
That was one of the shortcomings of reincarnating, in exchange for power and soldiers, we lose many of the comforts of life on earth, internet, pizza, the hidden pages....
Returning my mind to the present, most of the animal class were dead or escaped and only a few wounded remained, which we left because of their uselessness, now only the last devourer was missing and the fight would end, in turn the ten approached and stayed by my side, leaving the caravaneers stunned.
The old man could not avoid asking, as the tension among those present was about to explode.
- Young immortal, the battle is not over yet, could you help us with the last devourer? -
My answer was no, the reason... I didn't want to.
We had already helped enough and apart from the experience, which with everything that had happened, we had only obtained 50 points, in other words, garbage, the rest would be for pure kindness and we can't always be kind, we lacked an incentive.
With my denial, those present jumped and shouted, insulted, one even tried to attack us.
That finished with my patience and the system gave a warning.
[The accumulated rage and your bloodlust have crossed the requirement to unlock the skill: [Fear of the Abyss]]
[Fear of the Abyss]]
[You release a diluted aura from the abyss, frightening the weak-minded present.
6 MP/ Second]]
That being the case, the skill activated itself, a light mist began to exude from my body, in it the rustling of chains could be heard and a pressure was released outward, as the skill said, it was the pressure of the abyss, but being only 1/100th part of its power.
This was enough to frighten the caravaneers and all those present except for my companions, at that moment another notification appeared.
[Due to injuries and fear, 10 raptors and one reptilian devourer, have submitted to the abyss.
Now you can send them to the abyss and call them.
Remember to send corpses to feed them, in the case of having another food preference, it must also be sent by the host]
And here it was, one of the most heartbreaking potentials of the abyss, the ability to tame any creature for your army, in this case from weakening and scaring them, a good method.
That being the case, I did not hesitate to use the door to the abyss, what I did not expect was the effect of using it.
Before the already frightened caravan members and guards, black chains bound from cracks in space, the devourer and the surviving raptors, including a couple of wounded, then, between struggles and screams of terror, they were swallowed by a black vortex, each one.
Having made a gesture with his hand, of closing it into a fist, this being the method of activation of the ability and without them knowing the fate of these creatures, he gave the impression that with a single ability he had killed the nuisances present and they saw themselves in that same situation.
The result...
TERROR.
