Chapter 30: Monsters That Feed On Monsters
Aoi pressed the phone tightly against her ear.
Her expression was serious for once. "Guild Master, an E-Rank gate just formed right in the middle of a residential zone."
A heavy voice came through. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"An E-Rank Gate?" the Guild Master repeated in surprise.
"Adventurer Aoi, please evacuate all residents that are within a hundred kilometers near the Gate in case of a sudden Gate break. I’m going to dispatch the available adventurers that are currently here."
Aoi glanced back at the swirling blue gate outside her window.
OWHOOM!
Aoi’s eyes shrunk. "Guild Master...! I think you should contact the Military, because this gate just suddenly morphed into a D-Rank Gate!"
"What?! What did you just say? It morphed?"
"Yes! The Gate seems to be unstable..."
"Aoi, I need you to evacuate everyone as fast as you can. Don’t worry, I’ll still dispatch the adventurers and inform the military about this."
"Okay."
Aoi answered as the call ended. She quickly changed into her gear and went around the neighborhood, beginning to evacuate the residents.
"Take what is essential! Anything else should be left behind so you don’t drag yourself or someone else down! Please hurry up there’s no time...!"
"Mommy Mr Puddles is in there..."a little girl cried for her toy.
"Don’t worry honey nothing would happen to Mr puddles were just stepping out for only some hour." The mother coaxed the little girl as she took her away.
Aoi escorted the residents forward and couldn’t help sneak glances at the Gate. "What was the person thinking.... If you’re really a man... You better not die on there. I still want you to know why you’re hiding." Aoi muttered to herself.

The creature walked towards Reiji who was now collapsed on the floor he turned around an when to pick up its club It dropped before to fight Reiji.
The creature stopped right in front of Reiji once more.
Then it slowly raised the giant club high above his head.
Reiji lay still on the floor as blood flowed down the side of his face. His body could no longer move. His consciousness had already faded.
The creature’s lips slowly stretched into another twisted smile before it swung the giant club down aiming directly for Reiji’s head.

The creature’s eyes suddenly widened disbelief. A hand had stopped the giant club midair.
BOOOM!!!
The club instantly shattered into pieces from the forces Reiji was holding it.
The creature froze in shock.
Reiji who should have been unconscious slowly stood up while still dusting his hands. But there was something about him. He looked and smelled dangerous.
The creature instinctively stepped backwards.
For the first time fear appeared in its pale yellow eyes. Its instincts screamed at it to run.
But before it could even move a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon the entire cavern.
BOOOOM!!!
The creature tried its best to stay on its feet but he pressure was suffocating.
Its eyes widened in horror. It couldn’t move.
Reiji slowly walked towards it. His eyes had completely changed. They no longer looked human and the black pupils were gone replaced by a bright blue hollow glow.
A cold murderous aura exploded out from his body causing the entire cavern to tremble violently.
The creature trembled uncontrollably. It tried to move backwards. But Reiji suddenly vanished from his position.
The creature’s eyes widened.
He was too fast. It couldn’t comprehend how Reiji had suddenly had such explosive powr all of a sudden. But before it could even react...
SLASH!
Its head flew into the air.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
But it didn’t end there.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The creature was confused how it was suddenly flying then it saw it body filled with massive terrifying holes.
Thud!
The head landed and rolled on the ground as the consciousness of the monster faded.
The creature’s body froze in place. Then slowly collapsed on to the ground.
The entire cavern became silent. Blood slowly dripped onto the rocky floor.
Meanwhile Reiji stood there silently. frёewebnoѵēl.com
His body was covered in blood while the Soul Torture Blade and his fist quietly dripped crimson blood onto the ground.
Then his body suddenly swayed slightly.

[Threat terminated. To prevent backlash the skill will now be permanently destroyed.]
[Initiating recovery.]
Reiji’s vision instantly darkened and his Body collapsed onto the ground.
***
Ding!
[Host recovery complete.]
Reiji groaned as he slowly sat up. "Did I die?"
His pupils shrunk as he saw the head of the creature in front of him.
"Ahh! What the fuck!"
"What the hell happened...?" Reiji muttered as he saw the body of the creature.
Reiji clutched his head. He remembered that he fainted when the creature he hit him. But now the creature’s head was now in front of him and not only that, it’s body was riddled with holes.
He immediately went to pick up his weapons and held them scanning around. Then suddenly thought of something. "System what happened?"
Ding!
[Explaining in the most simplest term possible... You were danger and I saved you ;)]
"Smug Bastard..." Reiji clenched his teeth as he glare at the system. But then broke into a helpless smile.
"I need to pick up the pace before the Military intervenes. And if that thing wasn’t the Boss Monster... then the real boss is probably still waiting inside the boss room. I need to stay ready and kill anything that gets in my way without hesitation."

BOOM!
The big fist of the ogre came down on the little rabbit-like creature. Blood sprayed across the floor as it raised the body of the crushed creature to its mouth and swallowed it in one bite.
The remaining eleven giant ogres beside it were also attacking the other rabbits, which were extremely fast.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
After they were done hunting the rabbits, their red eyes were still filled with hunger, so they continued forward.
"Rarrr!!!"
The wolf’s hair stood on end as it stared at the giant ugly bastards that were quietly approaching. It let out a threatening growl, but the ogres paid no heed to it and continued their pace.
Then suddenly...
BOOM!
Before the wolf-like creature could react, it was punched square in the head and its body slammed against the ground with a loud sound as blood flowed out from its broken skull.
The ogre picked up the body of the dead wolf and once again swallowed it in one bite. And so did the other ogres.
"Grrhhh!!!"
All the ogres screamed as they felt their bodies bulge and become stronger, but the hunger in their eyes only became worse so they decided to continue.
Soon they arrived at a small cave where many goblins gathered. There were roughly thirty goblins.
Instantly their eyes became bloodshot and full of hunger as they rushed forward.
The goblins saw this and immediately tried to run away. But the ogres overwhelmed them with their speed and size and in an instant it became a bloodbath.
Body parts of goblins flew into the air like graduation hats during a graduation ceremony while their blood poured down like rain, soaking the ogres. But they didn’t mind as they tore into the flesh of the goblins.
The ogres were busy tearing into the flesh of the goblins and didn’t notice the lone figure that walked in.
[Bloodthirsty Giant Ogre (D++)]
Reiji quietly walked to the nearest ogre and before it could react, he equipped the Soul Torture Blade and sliced its neck clean off.
But Reiji didn’t stop and immediately rushed at the remaining ogres.
The creatures seemed to sense the aura of the Soul Torture Blade and instantly became aware of Reiji.
*Slash* *Slash* *Slash* *Slash* *Slash*
But it was too late as Reiji had already severed the heads of five more ogres.
Making it six.
