Mutant Terriers

"What do you mean, You just said I could leave!" Jacob shouted. He contorted and his voice filled with anger to hide the fear he felt in his heart.

It gripped him, making him sweat bullets.

The voice quieted Jacob, "Be calm, you need not be afraid. There was a reason I called you here but my plan was ruined when she deceived you. You could have left here up until now.

I suppose you could say it's an experiment of sorts. I have no personal grievances with you."

Jacob listened closely then asked, "What do you know about me? What experiment do you want to conduct?".

"That is something I can't explain to you now. The only upside is that you might not die. I will be willing to give you some rewards if you can stay alive after my experiment. You could think of it as a reason to not turn me down"

"I'm not risking your life for any of your sick and twisted experiments, You can shove it up to your ass!"

"HaHaHaHa" The boisterous laugh echoed ominously throughout the chamber's walls. Even though your situation looks unique you're still an experiment!… sigh, I should not even bother wasting breath.

With the way your body is consuming cosmic energy you're going to die anyway, I fail to see what could come from this? I don't know who did this to you but they must hate your guts"

"That's none of your problems" Jacob clenched his teeth as he tried to plan some escape. The doors were in reach of a beeline.

"Give up kiddo, there is no escaping this. I will reward you for staying alive….. Try not to die quickly… make it interesting" the voice's mind undertook a narcissistic tone. It almost sounded like he enjoyed the situation.

Boom!

A loud bang ran out and the doors snapped open. The voice went quiet, it was just using his actions.

"Mutant Terriers! Attack him"

As the voice shouted this, waves of beast swarmed from the doors.

Gugraah!

A Multitude of shrieks rang out. It was a scary site, hundreds of monsters charging at him with their eyes red with fury. They sounded like they were starved for centuries and just given the chase to eat.

Within a matter of seconds, the first mutant terrier slammed Jacob at a quick speed. It makes Jacob fly back into the altar. He barely left a crater but the hardness of the mountain.

"Old coot, why are you doing this!" Jacob shouted as blood leapt from his mouth. Yet, there was no answer from the voice. It almost seemed like it disappeared.

Jacob soon started to realize he would have to face hundreds of the weird strong beats he fought before. These were the same beasts that nearly wiped out the soldier team.

"Why the hell did that bitch have to lie" Jacob madly asked.

Graaaah!

Jacob's face looked like soil. The Mutant terrier continued to chase him and beast him with unrivalled strength.

Jacob unsheathed his blade and it started glowing with a weird light. He activated his Doom sutra. The lost Art of Doom was overbearing because of its linear path of destruction. It was capable of a lot more destruction than was normal.

No matter how overbearing Jacob was, he was being blocked by the metal like the skin of the Mutant terriers. These variants were a lot stronger.

Jacob became increasingly more ferocious with his slashed. He tried not to engage them head-on, that would be asking for death.

He struk his sword on the metallic skin of a mutant terrier. The light from his sword flooded onto its burst its arms open. The beast was on the ground wailing, but before Jacob had time to finish his kill he was attacked by a few more.

Everybody was shocked. Especially Jessa, "How can he have this much power, he has means that even I don't even have access to. How could we have let us treat him like that."

"Interesting" the voice hummed to oneself as it observed Jacobs with keen interest. "We will see how long he will be able to survive."

Jacob never thought twice about the cost and accepted it.

He was naive, a sudden pain took over his body like he was in a furnace. The Mutant terriers never thought twice and slammed him into the ceiling.

The mutant terriers never waited for him to peel from the ceiling, but they all ran up on each other. They formed a tall pillar into the sky toward him. Jacob saw this and quickly escaped.

Thud!

He fell and drew his sword. The pillar of Mutant Terrier fell toward him. He never aimed; he just slashed his sword. There were many beasts so it was hard to miss any of them. His bones were just forged, even stronger but suddenly it was even harder for him to pierce them.

The strike blew up and they came out relatively unscathed.

Gugrahhh!

The beast just looked even more furious. They rushed to kill Jacob like he killed their family. It was an arduous task. "These creatures are too weird. Their skins harden like metal continuously, even their weaknesses can't kill them easily"

Wham!

Jacob only took a second to think and he was already sent flying across the chamber. "Have these guys gotten smarter? This should even be possible! They are barely past 15 metres, I should be able to kill them."

The voice could see the confusion on his face and finally decided to tell him.
