Chapter 74: Killer Skull Society (1)
"Attack!"
The Tiger Bull instantly notices the attackers and stands straight while lower his head. It was taking a charging stance to black the attacker with an axe and shotgun.
However, before the bull could charge, gunshots rang from a distance and one of them pierce into its left eye!
'Moooww!'
It roared in frenzy and went berserk as it completely forgot about any pain and madly charged toward the attacker in sight!
The attack with an axe was ready for this and he first took a shot at the bull's right eye, 'Boom!'
The gauge was packed with special types of sharp nails and the moment it burst, the bull's head was filled with small holes as blood gushed out.
However, it didn't slow it down in the least bit and it roar more violently as it charged.
The cloaked man seemed to expect this and when the bull was only a meter away from him, he suddenly launched himself in the air!
The bull then naturally lost its target, but the man was now in the air right above the bullhorns.
Within an instant, that man through let go of his shotgun and grabbed one of the bullhorns, and somersaulted on the bull's back!
The bull naturally wasn't happy about it and started to jump around to throw its attacker off!
However, that man's grip was solid, and he didn't lose his balance. The very next moment thereafter, he lifted his axe and swing it with full force, and it landed right in the middle of the bull's head!
Yet, it only managed to cut through the skin and little muscles, its skull was still undamaged!
'That's why it's so hard to deal with!' the man thought with some frustration.
But he didn't stop swinging and kept hitting the skull until it was finally broken!
The bull let loose one last eerily cry before it fell on the ground with a big thump, raising a dust cloud!
The other two appeared from the woods at this time.
"It was really intense, far better than anal!" The woman spoke hysterically.
"Tsk, nasty woman." The second one clicked his tough as he kept his distance and look at the man with a bloody axe in his hand.
"So, that's how you kill a tiger bull, huh?" His voice was filled with admiration.
"Heh, it's the only weak place it had. If you go for its body or neck even, then you're only wasting your energy and..."
'Swish...'
However, before he could finish his sentence, a dark blur flashed past his neck, like a gust of cold yet sharp wind.
The other two only noticed when the body and head separated and start falling.
But in this small window, another gust of sharp wind blew past that woman!
Now, only the last person remains, and he only reacts when he heard his comrades' heads falling to the ground.
"Ahhhhh...." He screams historically and starts pulling the trigger of his gun madly, as he shot in all directions without aiming!
Even after emptying it, he was still clicking the trigger while spinning like a lunatic. In the end, he exhausted himself and fell on his butt, groaning and panting.
"Heh, already done?"
This icy voice was like a lightning bolt that jolted that fellow.
"P-please, I.... I don't want to die! I'll give you everything, just please let me go. I-I won't tell anyone!" He starts prostrating himself while crying.
The cloak on his face also fell at this moment. It was an ugly, skinny Hob Troll.
Jacob appeared in front of the crying fellow with a cold smirk on his face. He had long decided to spear this fellow because he wanted information.
He had noticed while following these three that this hob troll never acts unless it was necessary, and avoided a dangerous situation while shielding himself with the other two. They were both fearless, and that woman was straight-crazy.
Moreover, this fellow seemed to know about medicine. So, Jacob concluded that this fellow was afraid of death, and he was perfect to extract information from.
He wanted to know just what kind of organization was behind them and why they were looking for this bull. It wasn't just a simple reason to recover that letter or kill it.
It was more to their advantage if they simply let it roam freely in human towns. There was more than to meet the eye, and he wanted to know because he had this strange feeling that it wasn't over yet.
All in all, Jacob wanted to know if they had a way to link all this back to him or not!
"Alright, I'll let you run. But you have to answer my question first." Jacob coolly stated.
The hob troll finally looked up with his snort-filled face. His eyes widened with disbelief when he saw this was a human!
But he quickly nodded his head. His life was more important than some pity enmity between their predecessors.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" asked Jacob.
"I'm Skull No. D-198938833 from Killer Skull Society. As for why we were here, only he knows." Skull No. D-198938833 pointed toward the beheaded man.
However, a dark blur brushed past Skull No. D-198938833's arm, and the next moment it dropped separately from his elbow!
"Ahhhhhh..." He reacts a moment later and shrieks like a dying pig the next moment.
Jacob coldly looked at him. "Did I forget to tell you? My bad then, listen, you fuck face, every time you lie I'll cut a part of our body, and after you left with no part, I'll skin you alive, and trust me, I won't let you die!"
Skull No. D-198938833 finally spills the beans, "W-we were only told... to... to kill the tiger bull and investigate the whereabouts of a missing letter. I... I swear, he only tells us this much. Our ranks were lower than his, and he knew more details than us. Please, just let me go!"
"Intriguing." Jacob pulls a spooky smile at this moment, "Something tells me you have some idea why he was here. So, are you going to tell me nicely or not?"
