Doomed
"Noooooo! Gu Hao! Get away from him you monster!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The door to apartment 446 was opened at an unknown time, and Beatrice was now standing outside of it, firing her gun at the blood spirit. As if annoyed by the gun shots, the blood spirit's body bent backwards 90 degrees as its head. It then began to raise its empty hand towards Beatrice.
"Dodge his curse Beatrice!" Gu Hao commanded loudly from the ground while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Hearing Gu Hao, Beatrice dived sideways, leaving the blood spirit to point at an empty doorway. Losing its target, the blood spirit wanted to resume its job so it bent its body back upwards.
It was unknown when Gu Hao pulled out a hand bell. Glaring at the blood spirit, Gu Hao could only prayed that it would work as he rung the bell.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
An invisible shock wave exploded out from the bell and smashed into the blood spirit. The blood spirit's body then began to wriggle in disharmony as its bloody grin opened as if crying in pain, revealing a bloody mouth that seemed to be stitched together!
With a wave of his empty hand, the blood spirit smacked Gu Hao's body in front of him, sending Gu Hao flying and crashing into the wall of the bedroom. The bell flew out of Gu Hao's hand as he slid down the wall and fell into a sitting position. Gu Hao's face scrunched in pain as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Gu Hao! How dare you hurt my man!" Lena screamed in anger as she appeared at the doorway and aimed a talisman at the blood spirit before activating it, "Holy Smite!"
Zap! A holy light shot at the blood spirit, piercing its body and coincidentally hitting the saw held in its hand. The force from the hit sent the saw flying out as the blood spirit gave a ghastly howl in anger. Owoooh!
The blood spirit then exploded into a cloud of blood mist and swam swiftly towards Lena who was standing outside the doorway!
Bam! As if mocking the blood spirit, the door to apartment 446 automatically slammed shut in its face. The blood mist crashed against the door, but couldn't escape, let alone find its target.
"Taste my ultimate technique!" a chuuni howl resounded from the other side of the room.
Gu Hao took a swig from his water bottle and sprayed it onto the tiny flame of the lighter held in his other hand, "K*ton! G*ukakyuu no J*tsu!"
As if watching anime helped with the imagination of his power, the tiny flame on the Gu Hao's lighter expanded rapidly into a size larger than a car. It then spun and smashed towards the bloody mist at the door.
BOOM! OWOOOH!
The blood mist was evaporated by the large fireball as tiny specks of flames spewed out of the exploding mess like a volcano. Gu Hao pulled a cloak out of thin air and raised it in front of him to block the heat.
Although it was a hot flame full of power, it didn't have much to burn in the already charred room. So, the flames gradually died out as Gu Hao weakly dropped his hand holding the cloak.
"Cough, cough ... is it dead?" Gu Hao muttered as he stared blankly at the empty apartment room.
The apartment room door automatically swung opened to reveal a worried Lena and Beatrice. Seeing Gu Hao slumped against the wall, Lena and Beatrice both cried out in grief, "Gu Hao!"
Both girls dashed in, one on either side of Gu Hao. Lena hurriedly took out a vial of potion that was half full and fed it to Gu Hao as she asked worriedly, "Hao, are you okay? Do you feel pain anywhere?"
Beatrice also glanced at Gu Hao with worry as she gripped his arm tightly, "Y-ya can't die on me okay? Ya promised to protect me ..."
Suddenly, the apartment door creaked and slammed shut on its own. Bam!
The trio's heart tightened as a sense of unease arose in their hearts.
"W-Why did the door close?" Lena muttered in a worried tone.
"Hao, I thought cha said that the ghost here was a friendly fella? Why did it lock us in?" Beatrice questioned as she got up and stood guard while glancing around vigilantly.
Gu Hao silently frowned a bit as he recalled what Jack said, but his instincts told him that something was wrong, and it definitely has nothing to do with the ghost that saved him. Suddenly, a thought struck Gu Hao as his face paled. He gritted his teeth as he growled, "That blood spirit ... it might not be dead yet!"
Lena and Beatrice tensed up in shock for a moment. Lena then snapped out of her daze as she pulled out the bottle of detection dust from her bag. Opening it, she scattered the rest in the air in front of them.
Fwoosh! The trio watched the dust slowly spread out and gradually floated to the ground. Their glowing eyes stared around in alert and saw nothing. As the dust settled on the ground, the silent atmosphere got more dense as Lena aimed her scanner around. Suddenly, Beatrice yelled in horror, "There! On the ground! There's a shoe print!"
Glancing over, at an unknown time, the trace of a shoe print has appeared in the settled dust on the ground. The trio's eyes shrunk in horror as they found the shoe print way too familiar.
Suddenly, another shoe print appeared in front of the previous one, as if there was an invisible being walking towards the trio! Without hesitation, Beatrice aimed her gun at the shoe print and fired!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullets shot into the shoe prints and lodged into the ground, but to the trio's horror, the next shoe print appeared not long after! Pulling out a talisman from her bag, Lena aimed it at the shoe print and activated it, "Holy Smite!"
Zap! The light accurately hit the shoe print, only to cause the dust nearby to shift a bit. There was no howls and no reactions from the monster, as if the attack had no effect!
"No! Level 1 talisman's don't work! Does anyone have a level 2 talisman?!" Lena questioned with a hint of anticipation.
Blinking her eyes innocently, Beatrice stared down at her gun as if saying that's all she needed. Gu Hao wryly smiled as he leaned against the wall, "I already used up all my talismans during the grueling fight with that monster's first form."
Getting her responses, Lena faint hopes were crushed as the trio could only stare at the shoe steps slowly getting closer and closer. As the shoe steps came closer, a gloomy atmosphere surrounded them as they felt an increasing pressure pressing down upon them. It wasn't long before the pressure got so strong that Lena and Beatrice had to drop to their knees!
Cold sweat ran down the trio's face as they stared forward in despair. A cruel, deep laugh echoed in the room as if its owner was happy that its prey was finally ready to be slaughtered.
Suddenly, the tension was broken by a voice that was completely out of place, "Eat sh*t, homie!"
The trio turned their heads over towards where the voice came from. There, they saw a 20-ish year old male with long, black nails. The man cheekily smiled at a lonely, bloody saw laying on the ground in front of him as he smashed his claws down in a frenzy.
Cling! Clang! Cling!
The jarring sound of metal smashing into each other echoed in the room as the man slashed away with a crazy smile. The trio watched the bloody saw get shattered into pieces as black mist defused out of it, but the man didn't stop as he continued to smash away.
"Muda! Muda! Muda!"
OWOOOHHH! The blood spirit's howl was heard in the room. The blood spirit in a top hat and tuxedo reappeared in front of the trio; however, now his body had cracks all over and his tuxedo was torn in multiple places!
The blood spirit wanted to rush over to the saw across the room, but Lena and Beatrice reacted at the same time, aiming for the blood spirit's legs.
"Holy Smite!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Although there wasn't much damage to the blood spirit, the attacks hindered the blood spirit from reaching the saw! It wasn't long before the saw was smashed into pieces and dissipated into dust.
Seeing this the blood spirit howled in anger as it pointed its hand at the man who smashed his possession object, intending to curse him, but the man just dashed through the bathroom wall and out of sight!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Owoohh! Feeling the shots from behind and losing its target, the blood spirit turned around and wanted to vent its anger on the trio. Suddenly, a sword flew threw the air and towards Gu Hao. Gu Hao miraculously caught it with one hand before he threw it fiercely at the blood spirit in front of them.
With an amazingly lucky accuracy, the sword pierced through the blood spirit's face, causing it to howl in agony. However, although it had cracks all over due to a heavy injury, it still managed to stay alive!
A shadow then dashed out from the bedroom wall and pounced towards the blood spirit while waving its claws.
"You are just the sh*t of a chicken, egghead! Taste my claw and get cracked like a butthole!" Pro fiercely yelled as he slashed at the blood spirit.
Swish! Puff! Swish!
Pro danced around the blood spirit, dodging its counter attacks while slicing and dicing it apart. The trio blankly watched the man with the claws murder the blood spirit like a madman. The two girls couldn't help but frightfully take two steps closer to Gu Hao.
"I Chop! I'll slice yo sh*t up and flush it down the toilet! Mwahaha!" Pro cackled confidently as he continued to destroy the blood spirit that had began to dissipate.
Owoooh! Feeling its fate, the blood spirit trembled and wanted to dash towards the doorway, but Pro happily chopped its legs off, causing the blood spirit to crawl desperately forward with its hands.
"You can't escape! You are doomed to die in my hands and become the sh*t to fertilize my domain! Mwahaha!" Pro crazily screamed in happiness.
Pro then continued to slash the blood spirit non-stop. Watching its feet grow back, Pro chopped it off again. Watching the squirming flesh on its face trying to push the sword out, Pro stomped the sword back in. Watching the blood spirit's body crack even more, Pro helped the cracks expand even more!
It wasn't long before the blood spirit gave its final moan of agony as its final remnants dissipated and was absorbed by Pro's domain.
Silence descended in the room as if the mute button was pushed. Pro then realized he couldn't move his legs as he seemed to be nailed in place. Suddenly, the charred room began to fade into gray concrete as mixed male and female voices echoed in the room.
"He can't move ... he's only a burden to us ..."
"We can't inherit his money until he passes away ..."
"Just raise him in an old apartment room and until he kills himself ...
"What is he doing holding on to all that money, just die already!"
"Just die! Die! Why can't he just die?"
The voices faded into silence as the room finally finished transforming into the scene of an old, concrete stairway. Pro seemed to be standing in the air as a spectator of this scene. Near where he was standing, Pro saw the door to floor 11.
Click! The door opened. A man with a blurry face slowly pushed a wheelchair through the door. On the wheelchair sat a frail middle-aged man dressed in a tuxedo. A black top hat sat on the man's lap.
"Haha ... dad, do you like the birthday gift I got you? I know you like tuxedo and top hats so I went abroad to get a limited edition one for you ..." a male's voice echoed in the stairway as he slowly pushed the wheelchair forward.
The man on the wheelchair did not answer. The man pushing the wheel chair then chuckled as he said, "Another birthday, another year. Dad, you survived till now and can't seem to die. So ... let me help you!"
With that, Pro watched the man tilt the wheelchair over the edge of the stairs and watched the frail middle-aged man tumble down the stairs. The scene began to fade while echos of laughter rang in the hallway.
It wasn't long before Pro returned to the charred room and saw an intact bloody saw sinking into the ground as it was absorbed by the domain. Feeling he could move again, Pro frowned a bit as he recalled what he saw, but the system notifications distracted him.
[Host has eliminated an intruder in your domain. Domain is now absorbing the remains of the intruder ...]
[Absorption completed. Intruder was determined to be a Mid-Level Blood Spirit. System Library updated with new info.]
[After absorbing a powerful spirit, host gains 5320 life points.]
Forgetting about the previous scene, Pro froze in astonishment as he stared at the points notification. His mind exploded as he lost himself in a fantasy, "OMG! I'm rich!"
The sound of coughing nearby suddenly caused Pro to recover from his trance. Glancing over at Gu Hao and his harem who were staring at him with eyes filled with curiosity, Pro cleared his throat awkwardly. He then did a little bow and greeted them.
"Howdy there ... would yall fancy a ticket to Toilet Wonderland?"
