Chương 39: CHAPTER 39: THE SOAP

Houryu's body went up in flame before beginning to expand and then becoming a monster sized flame bird that floated right above the town.

Somehow, he could now be seen by normal people as there were screams of different expressions sounding throughout the town as they were no longer under the weight of his constantly emitting pressure.

Houryu was still unable to control his overwhelming bloodlust and was hardly holding on to his reasoning.

He began to eye the people in the town as he started to fly circles around the town but doing this seemed to have caused a bit of panic among the townspeople as some of them tried to edge out of the town but a few well-placed fireballs appearing and there were no more people trying that.

The townspeople tried to appease this "god" who seemed angry with them for some reason and did all sorts of things ranging from praying to singing some weird types of songs.

Houryu suddenly flew to above the center of the town before stopping and the flames on his body began to expand making it seem as if he became bigger.

He looked down at the town as he prepared to wipe it out, many things came into his view but a particular something caught his eye.

A woman, a little girl and a teenage boy who stood in front of them as if he was protecting them. His brain literally short circuited as he paused what he was doing and kept observing them, but to the people on the ground it seemed as if he was taking his time to decide something and some of them already doing weird things did even weirder things.

Meanwhile, Houryu just watched on and due to his very good senses he could see and hear clearly what was happening everywhere in the town, but the way the boy stood in front of people who were likely to be his family impressed him and reminded him of somethings.

He suddenly noticed something different, in this form he seemed to have a different sort of connection to nature and the spiritual energy present in the atmosphere and with this he could barely reign in his blood lust to not do something as impulsive as wiping a whole town off the map.

And so, he quickly began to force his blood lust back under and reign it in, as while wasn't some hero nor did he have any love lost for humans, he wasn't a monster who would go around slaughtering countless humans that though were not innocent, had nothing to do with his plight.

He wasn't a demon… yet.

As he reigned in his bloodlust he slowly began to transform back into his humanoid form, becoming smaller before suddenly disappearing from sight causing a collective sigh of relief from all over the town.

But Houryu still stood above them though this time he was naked as his clothes had been burnt during the transformation. He quickly created a white trouser to cover his lower body before looking around the town and finding two specific people.

(A/N: with genjitsu sosaku, a total waste of the mangekyou sharringan)

While he had reigned in his blood lust, he was still feeling the anger that threatened to make him turn into a psychopathic killer just beneath the surface.

He disappeared from where he was and suddenly appeared before the two vagabonds that he hadn't gotten across to killing yet when he was so rudely interrupted by the now "turned to ashes" Van sama.

The two were hiding in a rundown house when suddenly a white haired, shirtless and handsome man appeared before them and looked into their eyes with blood red eyes with strange markings in them that seemed to be turning.

Then suddenly everything went black before they fell to the floor unconscious. Houryu looked at them and then began to walk away to be away from the noises before the screams start.

The men opened their eyes to see walls of gray and water falling upon their heads from above. They looked around them and there were big burly men who were also under this water pouring things and the men numbered about twenty.

These men were bigger, burlier, muscler and meaner looking than they were. As the two of them were still looking around in shock and confusion as to how they got here, two bars of soap fell to their feet.

They looked at the soap bars on the floor in front of them and then looked back to realize that they were already surrounded by all the men in the bathroom.

They were confused as to what was going on when one of the men said with a predatory grin on his face,

"Don't you wanna, uhm… pick up the soap?"

The moment they bent to pick up the soap, unspeakable things began to happen, and the bathroom was filled with different types of screams.

After hours of the torture everything suddenly disappeared before they were suddenly in what looked like a child's room with a doll on a table.

The doll was dressed in clothes they had never seen before and had brown straight hair with a few sewed up scars on its face. On the table there was an exquisite looking knife that had a few blood stains on it, a rope and a strangely shaped contraption(gun)

(A/N: Don't forget the timeline they were in and where they are being taken to)

Suddenly the doll smiled at them and from then on it was another marathon of horror and pain where no matter what happened to them, they didn't die but kept on feeling the pain.

In the middle of their torture session some other torturers came to join the fray in torturing them.

There was a strange clown with a receding hairline and weird markings on his face, there was also a weird man who wore what looked like skin of humans as a mask on his face and he held another strange looking and also loud contraption.

There were other torturers until the men died from mental trauma and exhaustion.
