Capítulo 23: Disgusting
Liam didn't even think of taking a break but he told the others to rest for the time being.
They didn't know when the rats would infiltrate the gymnasium if they hadn't started doing that already by now.
Liam walked through the inner layer of the gymnasium to take a good look at the condition of the natives and the infrastructure of the building.
"The entrances in the inner layer are guarded but none of these people are proficient in fighting…only Felix and his fellow martial artists…" He figured quickly before leaving through one of the entrances. Securing the outer layer of the gymnasium was far more important since a bunch of rats might have already found their way to it and could be hiding in the hallway that surrounded the inner layer.
It was like a huge running track surrounded the hall in the inner layer. Monsters could be anywhere by now, which was why Liam hoped that Felix and his people wouldn't waste too much time.
"Where are we going?" A sudden voice snapped him out of his thoughts. Liam turned around to see Kian, Rex, Olivia, and a few more students wielding spears and following him.
"Weren't you guys supposed to take a break?" He responded with another question, squinting his eyes. Liam didn't even bother registering the faces of the few students who had chosen to follow him.
"You were told to take a break as well…" Olivia retorted, which caused Liam to close his mouth for a few seconds. He merely nodded his head.
"I'm just taking a look at the current situation. If the outer layer of the gymnasium is flooded by monsters their extermination will be our highest priority, rather than sealing off the entrances. Well, to be fair, we would have to fight monsters while others would have to seal the entrances," Liam knew it was pointless trying to convince the students to return and rest.
It was their decision to follow him right now and it was not as if he had anything against their help either. They would save him lots of trouble when they would encounter a bunch of monsters.
And hopefully, nothing too bad would happen to them since they were inside an enclosed space and Liam was by their side as well. Everyone was tired but it was not as if Liam could not afford to think about relaxing. His mind was flooding him with tasks he had to accomplish before he was allowed to sit down and eat or drink something, let alone take a nap!
They walked down through the outer layer of the gymnasium for quite a while without coming across an infiltration of any monster. Liam took this as a great sign, and their hopes soared high but it was only a while later that a muffled scream reached their group.
"Helpp!!!" someone screamed, the desperation in the voice clear to everyone. Liam and the others rushed through the hallway without giving it another thought as the desperate screams got clearer, yet also quieter "Someone…PLEASE!!!"
Kian rushed forward all of a sudden after triggering his Soultrait, just to stop all of a sudden when he saw something from the corner of his eyes. The door to one of the coaches' rooms hadn't been closed properly and Kian saw something that caused his expression to change drastically.
He walked back and pushed the door open and it was just a moment later when Liam and the others reached one of the coach's offices as well.
"Nobody will help you…the world is nearing its end, so stop screaming and have some fun with us!" A man's voice could be heard through the gap before the situation inside the office was unveiled to everyone.
A young woman, presumably an athlete according to the clothes she wore, was pinned down on the office table, while a chubby man in his late 40s was leaning all over her, licking her neck. The woman was struggling hard and trying to push herself away from the man, while the other men in the room were staring at her with pure lust.
"Nooo…" She tried to scream but her mouth was covered by the chubby man's hand, stifling her cries for help.
Liam could only shake his head dismissively at that.
'Why do I feel like humans are the same everywhere?... Maybe even Demons are better in that regard…no scratch that…' He thought for a moment when he saw how a few men pulled down their pants, revealing the tiny worms that had been hidden away for ages.
It was already a wonder that no cobwebs had formed around their crotches.
When the young woman screamed, Olivia was the first to react. She was about to rush forward but Liam held her back.
He grasped Olivia's wrist and smiled faintly at her face which was filled with uncontrollable anger and the urge to rescue the helpless woman.
Olivia was just about to use every bit of strength in her body to free herself of Liam's grasp when she saw the coldness in his eyes as he turned over to look at the worst kind of human being in front of him.
"You don't have to dirty your fingers with trash…I'll gladly do that!" He mumbled quietly before he began to move.
His right hand holding the battle axe flicked forward, cutting through the air as the weapon was hurled through the length of the room, just for Liam to dash behind it a quarter of a moment later.
While the guys looked over at Liam and the others in ridicule, the helpless woman, whose clothes had been torn apart couldn't help but continue crying. Fat drops of tears trickled down her cheeks as she was trying to free herself from the iron grip that pinned her down on the table.
She closed her eyes and continued to resist, just to feel something warm trickling down on her face. The iron-tight grasp around her arm loosened all of a sudden. The woman tried to free herself, only to realize that a heavy weight collapsed on top of her without any warning.
She opened her mouth and was just about to scream loudly when the desperate pleas of the men who had nearly violated her filled the young woman's ears.
"Please..noo…don't kill us, PLEA–..."
"Nooo!! Arghashd…"
"You bastard, how dare you ki–..."
"...You…"
The screams and shouts of the desperation of the same men who were going to force themselves upon her reached the young woman's ears. They lasted only for a few seconds before they died down forever. She was struggling to move under the weight of the man who had collapsed on her and finally mustered the courage to open her eyes. However, what she saw caused a cold shudder to run down her spine.
An axe was stuck in the skull of the man who had attempted to rape her first and blood was oozing out of the wound.
She let out a shocked gasp as she turned her head to the left where she saw a single man standing in the midst of corpses. Blood continued to flow down from his hands like streams.
Cold purple eyes entered her sight when the man turned into her direction.
"Let's leave, we're done here," Liam said coldly as he approached the woman who was still buried under the burly man's corpse. He retracted the battle-axe that was stuck in the skull of the man before he looked over to the young woman who was trying her best to remove the lifeless body from her.
"Pick up some clothes and go to the inner layer. Tell them that I killed the people who wanted to violate you, and you should be fine," He explained shortly without giving her any introduction.
"W-Who…Who are you?" She stammered weakly but he only shrugged and replied,
"I'm…just a masked Devil."
