CHAPTER 52 - Death Comes For Us All 4

The tentacle uncoiled itself as droplets of flesh and bone sprinkled out of its suckers. Tisane felt his heart bleed and his eyes pool with tears as he saw what was once his father now turned to be bloody pieces of bone and tissue.

They were all dead.....

Everyone.....

He was all alone....

_{I expect you mortals to show humility and surrender in the face of death. Feigning arrogance or courage will do you no good}_

_{Don't worry boy, after you give me what I want, I will make sure that you see your family again}_

Tisane's body began trembling, not in fear or despair but in anger. He's entire family was slaughtered before his eyes by the same monster who was speaking so arrogantly, as if their lives were put in it's hands.

"You bastard..."

Tisane muttered as he remembered his father's last words which ignited a flame inside him.

"You bastard!!!"

The ignited flame became a raging inferno as Tisane roared out in anger.

_{What?! How dare you address me with such insulting and derogatory words!!}_

_{Have you not learned your lesson from what happened to your father?!}_

_{I can forgive and let that pass, because of the trauma I know you must be feeling due to the death of your family}_

_{All I ask in return for my forgiveness, is that you give me what I want!}_

"Never!"

_{What did you say?!!}_

"I would never give a demon like you anything of mine but all I'll give you is a hundred...no a thousand fold of the despair and pain that you have made me experience!!"

_{Hmph more insolent words from a pile of bone and flesh!! I would like to see how far you can keep that up after you've been torn to pieces!!}_

Immediately after the voice finished speaking, Tisane became enclosed by a horde of monsters. From his left, right, front and back, monsters of different sizes and terrifying features encompassed his view.

_{One last chance mortal. Are you now willing to surrender and give me what I want?!!}_

At that point, Tisane heard the words of his father again;

_Even in the face of death, don't stop fighting...._

Tisane knew he was going to die, but even if he does, he would try as much as possible not to make his death so easy for these demons!

"Come you demons and taste my rage!!"

Tisane watched as one huge scorpion monster rushed at him, swiftly swinging it's tail at Tisane in order to pierce him with it's stinger. Tisane saw the attack coming as he deftly dodged and rushed to climb the back of the scorpion.

It was not an easy venture though because he was almost sliced in half by the pincers. Successfully climbing the monster's bone hard back, all Tisane could do was to hold on to some of the monster's protruding horns in order not to be thrown off.

Tisane knew that if the monster manages to throw him off, it would follow up by delivering the deadly blow. As Tisane was hanging on tenaciously, he suddenly turned back as he quickly saw the huge tail of the scorpion monster raised up so high.

While it's stinger pointed threateningly at Tisane.

_''Oh shit''_

Tisane instantly knew that now was not the time to hang on but to move away!

He quickly jumped out of the monster's back with a split second to spare as the creature's tail slightly brushed past him. As Tisane fell and rolled on the ground, he heard a sharp but loud squeal as he looked up only to see the scorpion which had impaled itself with its own tail.

The creature struggled greatly as it tried to free itself from it's predicament.

_~Twang!~_

With a sharp but strong force, the monster's tail was pulled free but at a very great price, as there on the creature's back, was a large gaping hole, which was spewing out corrosive and slimy liquid. While Tisane watched the scene, his eyes caught an object spinning in the air, before landing suddenly before him by stabbing the ground.

Tisane gaped at this 'object' which he recognized as the stinger of the monster as it had broken and flown out due to the impact force that was created when the scorpion stabbed itself and the force that was exerted when the creature pulled it out of it's own body.

Tisane slowly picked up the stinger of the scorpion monster by pulling it out of the ground. As the stinger touched his hand, he had a strange feeling, as if a flow of energy passed through him and touched the stinger.

As he was holding the stinger and reminiscing on the feeling he had felt, he shifted his eyes to behold the frantic display of the creature as it was trying to stay alive. Few moments later, the scorpion stopped moving.

Tisane immediately had the same feeling of familiarity when the monster died but this time, the feeling was way stronger. Before Tisane could rejoice at his newfound victory, he heard a snort of ridicule.

_{Hmph do you foolishly think that you can live to challenge me?!!}_

"I don't care. All I know is that I will make you pay!"

_{Idiot! Just like your father, you will pay with your blood for your insolence!!}_

As the voice finished talking, another monster rushed at Tisane. This particular monster looked like a mutated gorilla, with two heads and extra large arms.

Tisane subconsciously stepped back in fear when he saw the humongous beast charging at him!

But then, the scorpion stinger in his hand, began to glow red, as he felt a courageous boost to his mental state. The boost was quite significant because he gritted his teeth and also charged at the gorilla monster immediately.

As they both arrived before each other, the gorilla monster immediately threw it's right fist in a terrifying punch. Tisane saw the punch coming and dashed to the right, dodging it by a hair's breadth.

_~Bam!!~_

The ground where Tisane was initially standing, shattered to form a deep hole. The gorilla was taken aback that it had missed it's attack.

But Tisane had reacted faster as he quickly jumped and spun in the air towards the gorilla monster, while holding the stinger as a sword as a blood light flashed.

_~Slice~_

Half of the monster's face was sliced open.

_~Roah!~_

The monster held it's face in pain as it rolled on the ground. Tisane followed up his attack and was about to deal a fatal damage to the monster, when he was intercepted by a monster that looked like an anaconda.

Tisane had to suspend his attack as he quickly stepped back. At this moment, Tisane couldn't comprehend how he was able to do what he was doing.

All he knew was that he had to release the extreme anger and pain that had built up into mountains within him. The scorpion stinger in his hand acted as a catalyst that spurred him on with unbelievable energy.

It began to feel like n extension of his arm, moving swiftly and efficiently at his will. His whole body began to blend with the mysterious power that was oozing through the stinger.

It became like a tightly knit system. When the stinger moved, he moved.

When the stinger withdrew, he withdrew. Though, Tisane didn't note all this.

All he knew was that he wanted to kill all these abominable creatures that murdered and devoured his family and friends.

Without hesitation, he attacked the anaconda that had interrupted him earlier. The monster hissed sinisterly as it also moved in for the kill.

It was extremely fast as it went left and right instantly creating an illusion of having two bodies. Though this didn't stop Tisane from attacking one of the 'bodies'.

His attack missed as the anaconda's real body dashed at him from the left with wide open jaws and elongated fangs. Tisane quickly swung his stinger weapon at the monster's jaws as a counter, only to be thrown off his feet as he was sent flying.

While in the air, Tisane quickly adjusted himself and landed with a back flip. The anaconda didn't wait for him to balance himself as it dashed at him again with terrifying speed.

Tisane didn't wait for the monster to come meet him, as he also ran forward. His limbs felt so flexible and light that he began to imagine himself flying.

Dashing forward, Tisane quickly jumped up past the anaconda's wide open jaws as he tried to land on it's head but it's slippery skin made him slide off instantly as the monster swung it's elongated body as a form of attack which knocked Tisane flying.

_~Wham!~_

Tisane felt his breath seize for some seconds as those incredibly tough scales slammed into him. This time he crashed heavily, due to the force of the surprise attack.

The anaconda attacked again. This time, with the intention to finish this human once and for all as it swiftly surrounded Tisane, leaving no way out for him to dodge or run and then swiftly attacking with it's huge jaws, with an attempt to swallow him whole. Tisane saw the wide open jaws coming down on him and he knew there was no escape this time but then he quickly moved his hands which were gripping the stinger strongly as he raised it above his head.

As the monster engulfed Tisane with it's jaws, it tried to snap them but couldn't because Tisane's stinger weapon had pierced it's upper jaw causing purple colored blood to spew out which sent pain to the monster as it squealed. Tisane, whom was directly in the disgusting mouth of the anaconda was exposed to it's toxic breath as he began to feel nauseous.

Within two to three minutes, there was great struggle between the anaconda which was still trying to close it's jaws and Tisane whom was forcefully pushing the monster's mouth open in order for him to escape. The longer Tisane spent in the monster's mouth, the more angry he became.

The nausea he was feeling only helped to aggravate his anger as the stinger weapon began to flash with a blood red light.

"Ahhh!!"

Tisane roared in anger as he moved and swung the stinger weapon which was embedded in the anaconda's upper jaw.

_~Swish~_

_~Squelch~_

A blood red light flashed through the monster's upper body as purple blood and large disgusting amounts of guts and body tissue splattered about. Tisane was standing in front of the anaconda's sliced body as he kept staring at it with a stern expression.
