The room was ruined, with broken desks, cubicles and paper strawn around it, with a dark yellow colour covered in mud and dust as if it was years since it last touched.
Raven looked around to notice the huge room, like a massive greeting hall for a company dinner or something.
Lilith's soft tail wrapped around his waist as she stood to his left, watching with her beautiful purple eyes for any enemies.
Still, the room was empty, apart from the broken chairs and the strange skeleton with rotting meat hanging from his chest and hips, with blue eyes that sat on a huge black executive CEO chair, his flaming eyes watching the pair in silence.
'Hmmm, why is this monster not moving or attacking?' Raven thought as he looked at the murky windows that showed a desolate and destroyed city.
Outside the window, he could see a strange church and university close by, Lone Star. At the same time, a burnt village was visible in the church graveyard, with death and destruction lying around.
"Raven... what do we do?"
"Hmmm... Let me go first; you try to make yourself small and stealthy."
"Mmm... then kiss me first!"
Lilith leaned forward and kissed him deeply, their tongues dancing around each other's mouths. His lips were soft and warm but strong enough to keep her standing still.
The feeling of her smooth tongue made his body shiver while her fingers ran through his hair.
Raven smiled softly and broke off the kiss, looking down into her deep purple eyes. "Recharged?" He asked, wrapping his arms around her slim body.
"Yes, I feel better now." She replied, reaching up and kissing his cheek before she pulled away and slipped past his right side. His lips grazed over her forehead, smiling gently.
He followed her movements and saw Lilith crouch low, slip beneath a desk and crawl behind it, using it as cover.
Raven whispered, "Good move."
He turned to the man in the dark corner and stepped closer, ready to run.
That was when the door burst open, and three men rushed in, all carrying eastern blades; their faces seemed to be quite fresh as they lunged towards him with a slight semblance of life.
Raven ducked under the first one's blade, kicking out and hitting his knee hard. Raven kicked again when he bent his leg, sending the man crashing onto the floor.
At that moment, Lilith snuck up behind him, swinging her daggers to hit them repeatedly, getting a grip on the neck, severing their nerves and skull.
The final man threw a punch at Raven's face, which he dodged quickly and sent the man stumbling backwards.
Raven smiled; taking his axe, he punched the man in the throat, lifting him off the ground and slamming him against the wall with his huge axe, his colossal strength crushing the corpse into a grey paste and bone dust.
Raven walked over to the man, who had fallen forwards on his front and was breathing heavily, blood trickling from his nose and mouth.
Raven grabbed the man by his hair and slammed his forehead into the floor, leaving a bloody dent.
After that, he pulled the man back and ripped his throat out using his sharp tails barbs; both manticore tails stabbed into his skull, wrapping and entangling each other as they devoured the essence, like mixing it and exchanging food by mouth; they moved it between their tails like some form of a strange kiss.
"How dare you kill my subordinates... I am Chu Feng... My system... Ayami... Himari... Why..... Why did you betray me....!"
He spoke with a slightly Eastern accent, and his face was revealed to have quite the handsome face where the rotting flesh was yet to reach; his body stood from the chair as a blonde woman's corpse began to climb from the ground, her stomach puffed out, as if pregnant carrying a spear that dragged on the ground.
"Damn that, Alexander... Damn you, that smells just like him...!"
The two corpses shot towards Raven; their speed was extremely fast, while the Eastern sword slice across Raven's chest, followed by a forward kick, the woman's spear aiming for the place he would dodge with a fierce thrust.
Raven jumped back, rolling over to avoid the spear, while Raven's right foot landed on the man's spine, causing the man to fall to the floor.
Raven spun to catch the next attack, but the woman was no longer there.
Raven growled softly; his eyes narrowed in anger and rage.
A voice came behind him. "don't worry, baby~!"
Clang!
Sparks of silver light splashed around the room as Lilith's daggers stopped the spear that almost pierced his kidney, her tail smashing it to the side as she stepped on Raven's back, wrapping her arm around his neck as he stood up, her legs tightened crouching with both daggers in a reverse grip, as flowers began to flutter around her body.
"Baby~ don't be mad; I'll let you step on my pussy later like that lewd animation in your "Business" folder!"
'No wonder she's using the stupid term "Baby" and speaking about those things... damn Philis! That's your business folder; looking for plays to make me try on you! Ah~ I am being charged with false crimes!'
In the next instant, she leapt from his back, vanishing into thin air, using the momentum to propel her blossom ability to move even further as she twirled rapidly, slicing the woman's flesh with countless rotating slashes.
At the same time, her tail stabbed out fiercely like a deadly lance.
The woman toppled forwards, trailing blood and gore, with a red flower blooming on her shoulder, the petals fluttering as she fell to the floor with a thud.
As she lay on the floor, with blood leaking from her gut, the woman reached up to grab the handle of her spear as if trying to pull it free with a single hand.
Her gaze met Raven's, and the look in her eyes was filled with sorrow and lament as if she wanted her misery to end; he noticed Lilith was planning to play with her as his axe caught the huge swing of the man named Chu Feng.
"Lilith, end her suffering... devour her, even the soul... don't let her be reborn... in this horrible dungeon."
"Eh... that's...."
"I will shoulder the sin with you... Even if it's not something we should do... I won't leave your side. Your ability doesn't scare me!" Raven's words caused her heart to skip a beat; this was the ability only females had... The ability to erase an existence by draining not just its essence but its "Soul", as humans might call it.
Raven nodded, taking his axe and blocking the way towards the woman.
Lilith grabbed the woman by the hair and pulled her head back to expose her throat, clenching her jaws as the narrow needle penetrated her neck and devoured her existence completely.
'She will probably have nightmares tonight...' Raven thought as he deflected Chu Fengs relentless blows.
Lilith would not only devour them but accept their memories and experience. As she swallowed this woman, she realised the man named Chu Feng and her living in a world where an apocalypse suddenly happened, a man named Alexander foiled this man's plans and then condemned him and her, who chose to remain loyal to him till the end to become flesh-eating monsters...
Sadly, the woman chose to stay because she carried his child... but the moment she was infected... the baby died, as did her hope.
Tears poured down Lilith's eyes as she knelt holding the woman, the kind girl gently letting her tail absorb the woman until she became a white powder, slowly fluttering through the air and sucked out the broken window.
Raven's body moved with an agility never possible by a normal orc, his hips almost bending over completely to avoid the agile slashes of Chu Feng, whose assault became frenzied upon the woman, Nadia's destruction.
"Enough, damn you!" He roared as he swung his axe and smashed the man's face, breaking a tooth and sending him flying across the room to land on top of his dead companions.
Chu Feng did not attempt to get up and instead rolled over the floor, crawling towards the door.
With his chin bleeding, he slid along the floor, knocking over a desk and leaving a trail of blood behind him as he rolled to his hands and feet, crawling like a spider and lunging towards Raven with deadly attacks.
Raven circled the room, dodging the slow and heavy attacks from Chu Feng and seeing Lilith stand up slowly, wiping away her tears and pulling her daggers back inside her sleeves.
"Are you alright?"
"Nn!"
Raven smiled softly at her, spinning and running after Chu Feng, still crawling towards the door.
ƥαṇdαs ηθνε| The man was about to enter the hallway when Raven snatched him up and tossed him into the large window near the wall, his body shattering the glass and sending shards to pierce through the office's interior.
"You fool! You are going to die!" Chu Feng screamed, spitting blood as he crawled to the edge of the window.
Raven sighed and stepped forward, grabbing his wrists, yanking him back, and driving his axe through his chest; this time, the boss was only level 15, something he could handle easily, but before Nadia was alive, his level was over 22.
'Strange... she was a source of his power?'
"Good riddance..."
Chu Feng's screams echoed as Raven cheated, tossing the man's corpse off the huge building before hearing a loud crash.
Raven glanced over to see his body smash into a car lodged at the main entrance before it exploded, causing the wall to blow apart and sending pieces of wood and metal flying everywhere.
The massive fireball spread out, and a second vehicle came crashing in, exploding when it crashed into the wall. More vehicles exploded, and fireballs flew through the windows as flames spread throughout the building.
