Chapter 380 Something Huge
The monsters started to cheer and bang cups as others pulled out weapons. The ones without crafted one brandished claws, spikes, and teeth.
This creature was disgusting, and I wasn’t going to let him off easily. I didn’t like the idea of eating monsters, but I would make an exception this time.
“Everyone gets one chance now to leave the bar. If you choose to stay, you are all going into my stomach as XP,” I growled, and Mati let go of my arm as I started to get bigger, and my shape started to get bigger and change form back into my Aquakade Lobster form.
No one left, but that was fine with me.
“And all I wanted was to do some drugs and have a good time,” Mati sighed from beside me.
“I can have a good time wherever I go, but I don’t approve of slavery,” I growled as the creature started to rush me.
The shark beside me lashed out to bite my arm, and I let him, cutting him in half with my other claw. The water filled with blood, and the shark let go of my arm to fall lifelessly as more creatures rushed me.
My Water Force Pact activated with my Sphinx and Tsunalily Totems and Vines with a blue water coating. Time slowed down as Veronica’s bond allowed me to precisely control all the vines.
The creatures tried to get to me, but almost instantly, everyone in the bar was headless or bisected. The only people left alive in sight were Mati, Sebastien, and something else that didn’t die when I tried to cut his head off.
“Woah! That was pretty cool! You didn’t even need to change into that ugly look to kill them all!” Mati cheered beside me, but my eyes were on the armored creature moving toward me.
“So, you are pretty tough. Never seen someone kill this many that fast. Looks like it was a good day to stop into this little shit hole. I normally like to try and fight Mati, but something always happens to get in the way, hehe,” an armored squid-like creature said, pulling out two long curved knives.
“I will pay you one thousand dollars to get rid of this thing!” Sebastien cried.
“Oh! This guy is Torkle; he is a battle junkie, always looking for a fight. He is pretty strong, so I would watch out for him. Maybe it was a good thing that you got ugly!” Mati laughed as I focused on the multiple-armed creature.
The Squid creature reached under its armor and pulled out multiple blades. The arms of the creature started to whirl around as it approached me, my water blade vines not being able to land a direct hit before getting sliced or deflected.
I shrunk down to Mary’s Mermaid form, dropping the Water Force Pact and my Tsunalily totem, switching over to Earth. I raised my hand, which had become rock-like, and pointed my finger at the creature.
“Bang,” I said, dropping my thumb like a firing hammer on a revolver.
A rock shot from the tip of my finger, visibly cutting through the water and through Torkle’s head, making it explode. The whirling arms stopped, and the stone blades fell to the ground as I looked around to see who else wanted to fight, but they were all dead.
All but Mati and the owner of this cesspool, Sebastien. Now we were going to have a little talk.
“Fine! I will give you her, but then you leave!” Sebastien ordered, stabbing a finger at the door.
Before he could react, I changed my tail to be snake-like and shot forward to bind and constrict the Crab Man. I was going to be taking more than the Demon with me.
“You sssee, this is how you ssshould have ssspoken to me, to begin with, but you didn’t. Tell me where ssshe isss… s-ssso I don’t have to pump you full of poison and ruin the meatsss!” I hissed, nearly laughing out loud at how much I sounded like Mary.
Going full snake made my tongue and tail length and my s sounds stretch out. I could see why Mary had issues talking like this sometimes, but that didn’t make it any less cute!
“You want to know where Xeno is? She is in the back room, under the floor! You should have just asked me!” Mati declared, and Sebastien froze in my grip.
“Really? Now you tell me? I could have killed a lot lessss people if you had told me at the ssstart!” I hissed, trying not to laugh as I did.
“You sound tongue-tied like my sister! Can you say this? She sells seashells by the seashore?” Mati giggled.
“Ssshad up!” I snapped, breaking Sebastien's neck in frustration and then putting the body into my inventory.
“What are you going to do with his body?!” Mati asked as she swam over to me with excitement.
There was still noise coming from up top, but I was sure that everyone was too messed up to even notice or care what had just happened here. At some point, people would notice, and then all hell would break loose again.
“I am going to see what I can get the girls to cook up with it,” I said.
“Cook? What does that mean?” Mati asked.
I was going to frown at her, but then I remembered Mary and Jilly. When I met them, neither had eaten cooked meat.
“When we return to the ship, I will show you what I mean. Now, where is this back room you were talking about?” I asked, looking over to the hallway that was behind the bar counter.
“Follow me!” Mati called but then stopped, looking around.
I felt something huge and powerful on a much different scale than the turtle coming towards us from a reasonable distance, but it was coming fast. Whatever this was, it was much stronger than Thesta, the Sea Witch, meaning I probably shouldn’t be messing with it.
“We should hurry. I forgot to tell you that Sebastian is a Demi-Craboid, and I think that you just pissed off his mother, Ursula. She is an Old God and a bit Krabby, if you know what I mean,” Mati giggled, but what was coming closer was no laughing matter.
“Move!” I shouted, and Mati darted down the hall after nodding.
