Chapter 5
Master of unarmed fighting and The Morals of a Madman
---------------------------------------------------Miya’s POV.----------------------------------------------
For 6 months we have chased the man named The Soul Eater; or Arthas as I learned before passing out. I have to say never in my life have I been treated in such a way tied, beaten and fucked. What pisses me off is that’s what I do to men, it’s what I’ve always done; in my life as a succubus I forced men to do what I want and was the dominant one in bed. But this man raped me like some common whore and thinking about it makes me angry but at the same time…
I fidget remembering the scene of him bringing me close to climaxing but not letting me. ‘Stop this body, this isn’t the fucking time’ I yell in my head for I stop getting so horny. Not only did he rape me but he did it in front of my junior the black haired girl named Daiyu Mar, an elf we just recruited. But our master yelled at me as well; she said I was worthless being overpowered by a man and to make up for it I have to find and kill this man.
Well at least she gave me 20 people to find him with and she’s not underestimating him. The woman I call master is the leader of ladies hold and the former Queen of the succubus race and mother of the current Queen, Gevirah Siren. She’s a beautiful woman long silk like black hair dark green eyes and large breast with a curved body; she makes any man or woman that lays eyes on her fall for her.
RUMBLE!
We hear a rumble that shakes the ground then look up to see blood red clouds ‘GRIMS!’ I thought in a panicked cry and our group stayed where we were and looked at each other and started to talk.
“We need to get away from the grims none of us have eaten cores but grims aren’t the most friendly creatures” a woman with shoulder length brown hair said.
“Well we can back off a little but this means we are close to our target” another short haired girl
said, getting a nod out of the rest of them then they turn to me.
“Hmm I guess we can do that” I agree with the rest and we start to back off away from the grims.
-----------------------------------------------------Arthas POV.------------------------------------------------------
After thinking for a while I have made up my mind I will not add the wind rune; why you ask? Well I think it will add too much power to the dagger and I’ll have no control of it and that’s not a good idea. When Akino woke up we set out again heading to the gateway out of purgatory.
“Hey Akino I have something I have to say” I said, to Akino while we walked.
“Hmm. What is it Arthas?”
“Well I feel I haven’t killed enough people lately it’s ruining my character, you know” I said, in a depressed tone.
“……” Akino just stopped walking and looked at me not knowing what to say but after a while she said.
“Well I guess we can fight some camps, but Arthas we have to be careful these camps aren’t like the others we’ve fought. These ones have strong opponents” she then continued to walk after she said this.
I just smiled and said “Good!”
-------------
We kept walking and when we reached a camp I got an idea and when I told Akino she just called me an “Idiot” but anyways. When I was still alive I liked going to underground fighting arenas and have some good old fashion Mixed Martial Art fights. ‘Ah mixing all my fighting styles into one breaking noses and arms in a bloody arena, it’s just so calming for the mind.’ So when we got to the front gate instead of straight up killing everyone I yelled this.
“HEY ANY BITCHES WANT TO HAVE A GOOD OLD FIST FIGHT!”
As I’m sure you guessed they were not very happy being called bitches and I got comments like “what the fuck did you say!” or “who the fuck are you!” and “who dares to challenge me”. Wait the fuck was the last one? Looking up I see a man that if I had seen him from the back would have thought he was a chick with his long blonde hair like that chick I ‘played’ with and he had purple eyes.
“My name is Heng Hong Xie a lord Elf of World Shi Xin and continent Gu Shou and member of the great Xie clan” He said, his voice filled with pride.
“Hey I’m Arthas no last name; gigolo of earth and crazy person” I said, back filled with the same pride. But then I looked and laughed at him “haha doesn’t Hong mean Rainbow HAHA!”
“What no… well yes but that’s for females and it’s spelled differently” he shouted back his face red from anger and fist clenched tight.
“haha ok rainbow dash shall we get to fighting then. Oh and how about a deal you beat me and I let you and your men live and I’ll work for you; but if I win I eat your cores” I smile “sound like a
deal hehe” I added a chuckle.
“Fine lets fight then!” He said, in anger walking close to me.
All his men made a circle around us outside the gate then I looked at Akino and asked.
“Why are elf names so feminine?”
She just shook her head and said “Well from what I know of Elf’s, gender is not that big of a deal there”
‘OH. That just seems to fit Elf’s too well; their like the ancient Greeks’ then I looked around and saw that his group was a sausage party and said.
“So that’s why all the people in his group are men” I nodded my head with understanding, with my hand on my chin like I’ve solved a hard math problem.
“No it’s that there are very few females in purgatory” Akino said, then sighed and sat down at the edge of the circle.
“Ok well let’s fight” I got in my Muay Thai stance
The elf just nodded his head and got in his really bad fighting stance; it looked like one of those Karate or Kung Fu fighting stances that make you ask yourself ‘how do you fight like that’. He had his right leg far in front and left far in the back; keeping his body lowered to the ground. Then his arms, he had his left one over his head and right one like a snake in front of him.
I laughed in my head in moved forward every step I brought my leg doing the Thip (literally means "foot jab" and said as ‘Theep’) dance which means my front left leg comes up off the ground and taps the ground twice; it just keeps the foot loose for when you kick. When I got close the first thing I did was a Roundhouse Kick with my left leg right to his front right leg my foot (Taekwondo style of kick to use your foot; Muay Thai kicks use shins) slicing at his calf; this caused him to lose balance. ‘It seems his style didn’t have leg kicks to deal with’ I laughed at how bad his stance was.
Next right after my Roundhouse Kick I did a quick Thip with my left leg to his now open chest pushing him back and as I walked up to him and faked a Thip with my left leg instead brought it back and did what is called a superman punch with my left hand to his open face; as he had brought his hands down to block his chest. I stopped my attacks and let him have a break
“How dare you kick my leg!” he shouted at me nose broken and bloody.
“What it was just so open that I had to” I said, shrugging my shoulders
He just made a growling sound and walked forward limping a little on his left. He had another weird stance and did some weird Kung Fu stuff with his hands. I just continued with my Thai stance and Thip dance (which is switching between a tap, tap step and a tap and step). He got close and with a ‘ah’ shout punched with his right hand almost like a upper cut but straight; which I answered with leaning back on my right leg and with my left knee and left elbow hit his arm from on top and
bottom.
Snap!
A snap was heard as his arm snapped between the knee and elbow; then putting my left foot down I used a TKD (TaeKwonDo) snap Roundhouse Kick with my right leg (the TKD kick is a fast snap and the other Thai kick is a slower harder swing kick). After taking the kick right behind his ear, his body went limp and it fell to the ground.
“Hmm that was too easy… anyone else?” I asked the crowded around me stepping away from the now unconscious elf “And I hope you do better than Rainbow here” I added with a grin.
“I can fight, but my clan’s art is a pit grappling art” a large bulky man said, walking forward out of the crowd.
‘The fuck he’s like 6’5 in height; the shit does this guy eat’ I thought then smiled larger and yelled
“Fuck ya let’s do this”
Two people came from the crowded and removed their unconscious leader which makes me ask why he’s even the leader. In front of the bulky man I had told him there would be no punching or kicking and we would have to get the other man to tap out and set Akino as the referee.
“Ready” Akino asked me, a little sadness in her eyes but I nodded. “Ready” she asked the man that the sadness was for but she only showed her emotions to me hehe I’m special to her.
“Fight!” Akino yelled
The man ran at me reaching for me with both hands; so I side stepped to his left grabbing his arm with my left hand near the elbow and right hand grabbing his two middle fingers and pulled his arm down pushing his elbow letting him fall from his own weight and force.
As he fell I stepped over his left arm grabbed his arm’s wrist with my left hand; then with his arm between my legs sat down on his side. He tried to keep me off his back by spinning on to it, but because I had his arm and was sitting on his side that when he was on his back it put me in the perfect place for an arm bar.
“3 seconds to tap or I break it” I said, pulling the arm back
“2” he kept trying to pull his arm out, so I pushed is farther by sliding it to the left.
“3 Snap!” I counted to three and snapped his arm pushing it and it bent around my left thigh
“AHHHH!” he shouted in pain and started to tap on the ground so I then let go.
“Arthas wins” Akino said, and then walking up to the screaming man grabbed his arm and snapped it into place and then punched him in the head to knock him out.
‘Shit she can be scary let’s stay off of her bad side’ I thought advise I’d forget to follow later.
“Well anyone else this is for your survival” I said, but after saying that a man came forward with his weapon and said.
“Why do we have to listen to you, guys I’ll take care of him” the man ran at me with a large broad sword.
As he got close he swung his sword down but I ran straight past him at lightning speed. Then 2 seconds later his neck started to bleed and his weapon disappeared; as his body fell to the ground limp.
“And that’s why I’m giving you a chance in terms of weapon use you have no chance against me and I want some fun here” I said, waving around the dagger in the air as I talked.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
The men looked scared now and some made audible gulps, they hadn’t seen me slice the man’s throat; hell I bet they didn’t see me take the dagger out of my pouch. I turned when I heard movement behind me and saw two black haired twins with sharp green eyes.
“We will fight if we can have a 2 on 1 fight” one of the twins said, with a polite bow; but Akino didn’t like it and step forward.
“2 on 1 do you have no sham…” I stopped her by reaching my hand out on her chest to stop her; plus I may or may not have cupped a feel of her breast causing her to glare at me with red cheeks.
“It’s ok Akino I’ll fight them” I said, pretending nothing happened “So what type of fighting then” I asked.
“We would like to do all of them; punching, kicking and grappling” the other twin said, with a bow as well.
“Sure then let’s have fun” I said, taking a new stance.
The stance was a stance of Taekwondo from the style of the North Korean military ITF; the stance was more sideways with your body faced to the side a little; your hand in the back stayed on your chin and your front stayed low by your side in the flicker jab form. I am using ITF TKD because it’s loose and fast paced; it lets you kick all around you and with quick what I call ‘black eyed punches’ (guess why it’s called that haha) that makes them lose sight of your kicks by punching quickly at their eyes before you kick.
The twins look at me confused at my change of stance but both started to slowly walk at me from both sides. I held my ground because I can fight both of them due to this style being ambidextrous (can fight with left in front or right). The one on my right came running at me.
I switched to having him in front of me as I parried his right hand punch; then two quick jabs with my left to his eyes I jumped up bringing my knee up and kicked it backward. The kick hit the other twin that was behind me in the face he had blocked at the last second and stumbled back but his nose started to bleed. When I landed on my left foot I spun my body performing a back hook kick with my right leg hitting the first twin I’ll call twin 1.
The kick hit twin 1 behind the ear causing his legs to wobble and now faced the second twin I’ll call twin 2. With my left leg in the front I did a little jump toward him and side push kicked with my left hitting him in the chest knocking him back. I walked back putting both in front of me I smiled and said.
“Very good, very good indeed you two fight together a lot right, you’re not bad.”
“How do you move like that?” twin 2 asked me.
“Simple really it’s all in the hips; a woman can bring more out of this style then I can though” I answered “so round two then?”
“Right” twin 1 said, finally stopping his legs from wobbling
They both came at me from the front this time and when they got close both threw a kick; one low one high. But I dodged the kicks by stepping back a bit, then after the kicks I moved and side push kicked the twin on the left twin 1. Twin 2 threw a punch at me from the right I leaned back just for the punch missed and at the same time grabbed his left arm.
Then using my left leg to pivot lifted my right leg and side push kicked with it straight into his throat digging in my heel. I brought my foot back grabbed twin 2’s collar with my left hand I threw him at the returning twin 1 that was punching, forcing him to stop and catch his brother. I ran toward twin 1 stepped a foot behind his legs pushed my palm into his face and slammed him on the ground and BJJ (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) mounted him. Then with my elbows and fists I reformed his face for a good 20 seconds. I got up and looked at the two; twin 1 had his face full of blood and was full swollen and twin 2 had his throat crushed by my kick due to me digging in my heel and had died.
“Well anyone else? Oh I know let’s do fist only!” I said, with excitement.
“I fight with my fist” a short but muscled man said, stepping out and was looking nervous after seeing what I did to the twins.
I grinned and told him to come here and got in my Muay Thai stance but didn’t do the Thip dance since there was no kicking. The man took his stance which I have to say is the best I’ve seen so far here; hands up high legs close together a stance that shows he fights with his hands.
He walks up throwing two left punches at me then a hard right. I slipped the first punch, parried the second and on the hard right dropped my body and rowed under the punch to the right and punched my left in a hard jab right into his jaw then turned my body and threw a right hook to his side. The man collapsed from the hit on his jaw.
“Dam I didn’t think you’d have a glass jaw… well you guys lose… time to start then” I said, taking out my dagger and slipping on my skeleton mask.
--------------
After a few minutes Akino and I had finished off most of the men here; the rest had run away. Akino looked at me as I took off my mask showing my still smiling face and asked.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you something if that’s ok” as she started to drain the blood of the dead men into large vials.
“Sure go ahead” I said, doing the same task but taking and slipping the cores into my mouth and swallowing them.
“Those girls you… you”
“Raped is what you wanted to say” she had trouble saying the word so I helped her.
“Right do you feel bad for raping them or more like was it needed is what I wanted to ask” she seemed very troubled with speaking on the topic so I said this.
“Here are your answers then, do I feel bad? Nope. Was it needed?” I looked at her and said “Nope. It was not needed but as it is in life; people do a lot of unneeded things but it is all about if you regret that choice you made. People may call some of the choices I’ve made wrong and call me evil
for it, but I say this to them.” I put on a big smile “Then evil I am.”
Akino looked in my eyes but just sighed.
“Are there any choices you regret?” she asked another question in a soft tone
I continued gathering blood and cores and said.
“Regret is something that can destroy your mind and yes there are a lot of things I regret, I regret letting the only person till now that has treated me like a person die to the one person who said he was my friend. I regret waiting till I was 22 to get the guts to kill a bitch that raped me as a child and letting more children suffer under her.” I stopped gathering blood and cores and took a deep breath “I Regret removing the breaks on the car of a target that ended up killing him and his three kids, I regret killing a police officer, her husband and… their 3 year old child… I regret living a life of a murderer… I REGRET LOVING THE LIFE OF BEING A MURDERER!” I Yelled and clenched
my fist till my palms bled from my nails.
Then I walked slowly over to Akino who had stopped her task and was staring at me and I continued “I regret having to wear my façade of a happy upbeat person to hide the killer I am” I said this softly with a smile that looked warned out.
As I got to Akino she had a single tear in her eye I raised my hand to her face which caused her to close her eyes afraid of my yelling and what I was going to do. But I used my hand to lightly wipe her tear away; it caused her to open her eyes and look at me and with my right hand now under her chin I said with a soft gentle tone.
“We have two choices in life wallow in the regret of your past or… live past it. Live for tomorrow not your regrets.” I touched my forehead to Akino’s looking her in her ice blue eyes that were slightly red from holding back tears. “Don’t let regret chain you and make you… don’t be me Akino” then I kissed her forehead, turned and walked away.
After that we gathered the blood of our victims and as we were leaving I heard Akino whisper something behind me in a tone she most likely didn’t think I’d hear.
“Thank you… for letting me know not to regret the life I lived in the past…”
I just smiled as we continued toward the Gateway of World Asura; with Akino following behind me.
---------------------------------------------------Miya’s POV.----------------------------------------------
We came up to a well-known camp run by an Elf by the name Heng Hong Xie. But all we saw was a camp filled with dead bodies with their cores removed and blood drained.
“Well his name is ‘The Soul Eater’ for a reason” one of the girls said.
‘This is crazy, how are we going to catch this creep’ I thought seeing the bodies with all their throats slashed open. I walked around looking for anything that tells me where they’re going when I heard a sound that sent a shiver through my soul.
AOOOOOO!
I looked behind me to see a two headed hound. They had ice blue flames that burned in their empty eye sockets; they had jet black fur and had black mist flowing off their bodies. On the two heads that looked like wolfs heads their every breath released the ice blue flame and the drool that fell from their mouths was black and it ate at the ground it hit. Its claws were blue and seemed to burn and freeze the ground at the same time; but the worst part was… how huge it was. It was about 2-3 meters tall and 4 meters in length even their tails added about half a meter to it and add that there are 5 of them!
GGGRRRRRR!
“AHHHH!” two girls screamed as one of the beast with its two heads had grabbed them both.
After that I ran I don’t remember how long I ran for but when I stopped all I saw was emptiness… I was alone. ‘Orthrus Death hounds I thought they were fake legends’ I thought, remembering hearing them from a client once; he said that one grims couldn’t get to you they’d send Orthrus
Death hounds after you. Who knew they were real.
-------------
Sob
Sob
I started to cry the first two girls that were grabbed had their flesh melted by the black drool in the Orthrus’s mouth. ‘Dead all dead my companions, my co-workers, my friends… all dead’ I thought
crying. I cried for a long time, alone in the waist land of purgatory when I heard a sound.
GRRRRRRRRR!
‘PLEASE GODS!’ I turned trembling to see an Orthrus behind two heads with flaming sockets for eyes staring at me. ‘PLEASE HELP ME!’ the two heads went in for bites causing me to scream out.
NOOOOOOOOO-!
--------------
“The last cry, the last scream and the last begging’s for her gods in the life of Miya, a person of purgatory’s battle and a girl forsaken by her gods to a fate worse than death a fate of void.”
