Chapter 52: Blood Lust
Nekra finally found a city… and it was a city, there was no doubt about that. That burning in her throat was there again.
As twilight descended, casting a hazy glow over the cityscape, Nekra's sharp eyes discerned the towering structures above. The silhouette of buildings stretched into the darkening sky, their outlines etched against the fading light as the buildings themselves began to glow.
Nekra looks straight up again before doing a double take looking at the city.
"Is that powerlines?" she muttered to herself, her voice clearly with the hum from electricity coming from above her.
With a swift, practiced motion, Nekra's arms flashed, slicing through the air with precision. The black wires, once charged with electricity, were now severed, dangling lifelessly between poles.
Sparks erupted as the power lines snapped, electricity arcing and striking the ground before dissipating. A wave of darkness swept through the city as lights flickered and dimmed, plunging streets and buildings into shadow.
“I guess its time to do this nya.” Nekra mutters knowing this country needed to fall to protect the future as she disappears into her own shadow.
Her momentum is frozen by a message though, her skill severely underutilized skill Sage… Or was it great sage? Had ot her attention because Rimuru’s skill with the same name had reached out to her with a question from the slime.
“Nya tell Rimuru where to find Remairs. It’ll save us all some time.” Nekra says aloud surrounded by darkness her eyes glowing red briefly in the shadow realm.
=======================================================
Rimuru is with his students having taken them to a rather nice restaurant.
To say that the kids were rude was an understatement.
“Teacher? Why would you do this for us?” Chloe asks
”Well, that's rather simple because I have an idea of how to save you. Although it was difficult to get an answer from her. I know where to take you all to save you now.” Rimuru states
Suddenly all the kids freeze in shock when Safi suddenly smirks standing behind the kids.
“Don’t lie to us! Miss Rimuru!” Safi shouts
”IM A MAN!” Rimuru shouts back
“You are?” Kota asks
”Wait teacher-chan is teacher-San?” Chloe asks
“What…” Rimuru says although it is obvious to everyone he is quite angry.
==========================
Nekra was currently experiencing the sound of forgiveness, screaming and then silence.
The darkness of the night sky had swollowed the city which it turns out wasnt the capital, however what need to be done still had to be done.
Did the cat girl with the gift of knowledge like killling innocents no, however happy sheep were not always safe sheep.
As the city burned and her magical prowess made itself known, her battalion of earthen golems made their way through finishing off any stragglers they could find.
Nekra’s eyes glowed blood red as her thirst took over the cat girl struggling to maintain her personality.
Did she want the kids to live, yes but they wouldn’t really survive and likely end up being sold into slavery in this country so… It was a mercy killing.
With that, her thirst which she’s been holding back for hundreds of years lest she hurt Yuki was let loose.
"Blood moon." The Vampire Werecat princess muttered as the sky glowed red.
===================================
Yuki sought refuge in the dungeon's depths, where paperwork couldn't reach her and her self-esteem wasn't under constant assault. Rimuru's offhand remark about the dungeon being merely a lazy mine had struck a nerve, leaving her feeling inadequate and overlooked.
In the dim light of the underground, Yuki found solace amidst the stone and earth. She would've gone into the core however the home felt empty and lonely without Nekra here…
She wanted her sweetheart to get home soon. Although, that comment about her really weighed a lot at the back of her mind. So with that in mind, she realized she could do something she’s never done before… She could pray.
“Actually, Sandstorm is a bad idea. According to Nekra, Kyra should be rather nice though.” Yuki mutters to herself clasping her hands together as her tails swayed behind her.
An with that a small flash drive fell on top of her head.
Yuki looked up at the dungeon roof and mouthed out ‘thank you’ before picking up the flash drive to see what it was.
