Extermination Pt.2

Location: Patacia Dump

POV: Alex

I continued to walk through the tunnels as quietly as possible to prevent myself from getting noticed. I did it because I didn't want to get even more injured than I already was because then I wouldn't be able to fight the Reaper Worm Queen. While I continued to walk I came across 2 more colonies but decided to just dig and go under both of them so I didn't have to fight any of the Reaper Worms on my way to the center.

When I finally got to the center nest I looked around and noticed that there were Reaper Worms all over the place. While I looked around I saw several Reaper Worms surrounding a bigger Reaper Worm. While I was scouting the surroundings of what I assumed was the Reaper Worm Queen I saw a bunch of dead body's with some of them torn open from the inside. When I saw this I had to turn threw up all of the snacks I had eaten previously. While I got my bearings I heard a yell from back in the direction of the main nest.

When I turned back around to see what made the noise I saw one of the body's stand up. Looking at the person I realized that the person was Joshua. He was covered in blood that had come from the other bodies. While he came to his senses he saw all of the Reaper Worms around and began to run away from them. While he was running he began to slow down and after he came to a complete stop he fell on his knees and held his stomach in pain. Wanting to know why it hurt he took off his shirt and while looking at his stomach I saw it move around like there were hundreds of worms moving around inside of him. He then began to cough up blood over and over again.

He started yelling and hollering in pain before he fell on his back and his stomach was expanding even more. While it expanded Joshua yelled even louder. Then while I thought he was going to continue yelling he stopped but not by choice. I stood in shock as I saw hundreds of infant Reaper Worms burst out of his gut killing him extremely painfully. While I stood there just staring at the body of Joshua the infant Reaper Worms began to eat the rest of his organs.

While I stood there looking at the Reaper Worms eat Joshua's body a voice in the back of my head began to speak 'This is the reality that you live in, this was done by a Chaos Beast but even among them there are humans who are capable of doing even worse things to each other'. Listening to Dezzoassol speak I trembled at my own weakness of not being able to help. 'Now what do you say about my offer'.

I decided there that even if I made a deal with the Devil I would save all of those I care about. "I accept your offer," I said in anger. 'Great now go and destroy your enemies'. When Dezzoassol finished speaking a rush of power burst through me making me feel more alive than ever before. I then proceeded to walk into the view of the Reaper Worm Queen and yelled "I'm going to kill you, you fucking Bitch!!!".

When I yelled it out all attention was drawn towards me and in sync two-thousand Reaper Worms were rushing to attack me. Not wanting to even give them a chance to breathe I used Earth Spike adding 20 times more magic then I was required for the spell. When the spell was activated hundreds of earth spikes burst from the ground killing 1/4 of the Reaper Worms coming towards me.

Grinning like a mad man I sprinted forward and began attacking like a wild animal ignoring all of my training. Going at the Reaper Worms like a wild animal allowed me to have the element of surprise on them because they would not be able to tell when the next attack was coming. While I was killing the Reaper Worms I was being drenched in they're blood. Before I knew it I came to standing over the dead bodies of the Reaper Worms.

Looking up I saw that only the infant Reaper Worms and the Queen remained alive after my assault on the nest. When they realized I was looking at them the Queen began slithering towards me in an attempt to protect its young. When it was 20 feet from me it lunged in an attempt to catch me off guard, but unfortunately I didn't drop my guard and released several spots over her body in order to keep her restrained but alive. I then walked past the screeching Queen and made my way toward the infant.

While I made my way to the infants spoke to me and said 'Another opportunity like this one will not present itself to you, so why don't you use my other gifts'. Knowing that if I used the wrong gift my body could be destroyed because of it not being properly trained.

"What gifts did you give me" I asked in curiosity. Dezzoassol quickly responded with 'Being an Armageddon Dragon it gives me a natural affinity towards fire which is what I have given you'. Hearing this I couldn't help but grin as I pushed fire magic into my hand and a blast of fire came out incinerating half of the infant Reaper Worms. The other half was shredded by hundreds of shards of glass that I had gotten from above us in the dump.

When I came to I realized that the Queen was still alive and turning around I used my fire to heat up glass and then controlled the glass to shape a huge blade. Before it could cool down I used it to slice the Queen in half, killing her; I then proceeded to collect all of the monster cores and put them in a pouch.

I began leaving the nest and when I arrived at the entrance of the nest I used my control over the ground in the dump making the nest collapse over itself killing any remaining Reaper Worms. Looking down at myself I saw that I was still covered in blood and had to get cleaned up. I walked as close as I could to the wall and started walking toward the closest side to a water source. When I did I jumped over and began to scrub off all of the blood. When I finished I wrapped all of my injuries and put on my clothes.

When I finished I began to take the long way to my bike to not get spotted. When I got to my bike I began to paddle all the way home beating Roxan and dad by 2 hours. When I arrived to Roxan's home I started to eat a bowl of cereal while I watched the TV hoping that when Roxan and dad got home they wouldn't notice my injuries.
