Chapitre 25: Night Hunting (3/5)
A pale white hand reached out to touch Hyena's cheek. Hyena stilled his breath and tried his best to act unconscious. The person above him didn't seem to notice this though and instead focused on his face.
"Though I can't put my hand on it, you look very familiar."
The person retracted his pale and bony hand and placed it on his chin to think. He sat down on Hyena's face and continued to ponder. Hyena fought the urge to hold his breath when the man sat on his face, his aura was chilly and felt somehow slimy and disgusting.
On the outside, Ruki and Hugo calmly assessed the situation.
'Ruki, what do you see?' Hugo asked through their mental link.
'It's a man. He doesn't look too old nor too young, mid-thirties I suppose. He has white hair and... grey eyes, and they're not just grey, they also look a bit dull too-' Before she could go into further detail though, he interrupted her midway.
'Shorten the description, I don't need his physical appearance to screw him over. I was referring to what you saw using spirit vision.'
Ruki snorted and gave her observation.
Ruki deactivated the x-ray vision on an eye and turned on spirit vision. Using the two types of sight, she took a look at the man. Various long tentacles made out of spirit energy silently wiggled behind him and a repulsive aura exuded from them.
For some reason, it made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her stomach.
'Well, first of all, the man has a weird aura around him, sort of like a squid's aura, and from what I can see, for now, his power is sort of like a spiritual power, fueled by something other than himself.'
Hugo looked at the information he had and tried to think of a suitable explanation for anything that was happening and could very well happen.
'Don't overthink it. What I told you is something only a few people in the world understand, it's not right for you to know now, nor is it right for you to know ever, all you have to know is that "his power" is not actually his.'
Ruki interrupted his premature thinking session and pointed out the goal once again.
'Uhh you guys, I need some orders on what to do, should I kill this guy now or what?'
Hyena yelled out as soon as they finished talking and from his words, the fellow sitting on his face might not get to breathe soon anymore.
'We're not killing anyone just yet, this fellow might be a bastard scum but his offences don't deserve death and if he ever wishes death, he will receive it from my hands alone.' Hugo spoke firmly and said that last part with a righteous air seeping out of his voice.
Hyena's thoughts ran all over the place, he'd seen the kid out of control, not even he would be able to do anything about his personality change.
He thought of Ruki and asked himself whether she could do it.
'Hyena, listen closely to his words and see if he divulges any sort of information.' Ruki ordered and also strained her hearing.
"Hmm, I remember your face, but I just don't know where I've seen it from..." The man slightly nibbled on his fingers and mumbled to himself albeit loudly.
"... Aha!"
The man yelled, giving Hyena a sudden fright.
"I remember now! You... you're that trashy B rank that completed this year's exams. Hehe, guess you overestimated yourself a little too much."
The pale man laughed at Hyena and stomped on his face, leaving large shoe print marks.
'Sigh, can I kill him now?'
He did not expect his thought to be directed towards the mental link, but it was.
'No, you cannot. I am also rather disgusted by this man's actions but do you see me going over to kill him?' Hugo scoffed at Hyena's fickleness rather hypocritically.
'Now that I think of it, what are his crimes? I can't read your minds since you're a big freakazoid!' Ruki asked quite offensively but still considered her words.
Hugo scratched his chin nervously and looked away from where she was hiding.
'Hugo, what're you hiding?'
'When recovered, his victims which are mostly teenage girls often speak of being violated by some sort of tentacles. Some of his more cough, experienced victims say it looked similar to being groped by one of those tentacle monsters in something called hentai.'
By this time, he'd already started using his power to form a defensive helmet around his face, preparing for her anger to be unveiled.
'Oh, is that it?'
'What?'
'Oh, I mean was that all?'
'Yes.'
'You're so innocent, Hugo. I already guessed as much from his aura and besides, I'm a much different person from when we first met, I won't get easily angered over something so minor.'
Ruki waved the matter off and continued to observe the pale man.
Back to Hyena's rendezvous with the man with the weird fetish.
The pale man slowly stood up from Hyena's face and picked up the metal bar by his body's side and pervertedly licked his lips in delight.
"I wonder... should I kill you or let my tentacles have some more fun?"
The man's grin twisted, and he already decided in his mind what to do.
'Can I at least rough him up?' Hyena pleaded with pleading desperation in his voice. He seemed to fall further into control loss each time the pale man spoke.
'Whatever, just don't kill him.' Hugo gave his consent and stood up from where he hid.
"This annoying fight is exhausting me, anyway." He said this bit out loud and stepped away from what would be a disappointing anti-climax to all the events.
While he did this, the pale man's hands shot forward and turned into multiple tentacles upon coming near Hyena's body.
The tentacles dripped with disgusting juices and reeked of a female's scent. And not the good kind.
"Roar!"
However, Hyena abruptly jumped up and grabbed hold of the approaching tentacles.
"Oh, you were awake? Whatever, my tentacles will still receive what they want!"
The pale man yelled ferociously and withdrew his tentacle hands.
"Humph, trash!"
Hyena snorted and dashed for the man hiding behind borrowed powers.
"No... no don't come near me!"
The pale man shrieked fearfully and shot his hands forward again albeit more frantically and less precise.
"Hah!" Hyena yelled out and swiped down onto the tentacles.
Swooosh!
His hands generated a wide and sharp wind force that cut the tentacles into bits.
"Ahhh, my hands hurt, they hurt ahhh!" The pale man cried tearfully and collapsed onto the ground, unable to throw any more attacks.
"Humph, that was disappointing for someone who talked so much. I said it before and I'll say it again; trash!"
