Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

The tension was high.

And Raulin, who saw the minions appear out of thin air from the smoke, was tossed into battle mode at the turn of events

Sh**

The Formation that was supposed to keep everyone safe wasn't completed yet.

Zhulyn said he needed 3 more minutes, which sounded like an eternity to him. And during this time, Butler Sheng would be busy protecting Zhulyn. While he would have to protect everyone else until the formation got done. After all, what if those things tried to eat someone?

Raulin looked at the scene in slow motion as the vile creatures dashed towards him with all their might.

Luckily, they were still 'baby' demons. And in turn, their speed was similar, if not a little slower than a regular healthy adult's.

But make no mistake, they were a tricky and sneaky bunch. So underestimating them would be terrible!

Raulin quickly pushed his glasses in, popped in a piece of gum from his pocket and steadied himself for the fiasco.

Well, the hall was just too grand, so the distance was indeed a little far apart.

It was a habit of Raulin to chew gum when nervous. It always seemed to distract him from any anxiousness welled up within him.

And just like old times, he popped in his trusty banana-flavoured gum and reached for his pockets to get his weapons.

Now, taking his cool domineering hero-like pose, Raulin was ready to flick any of these bastards that came his way.

Three hearts... Three hearts... He had to kill all 3 hearts!

.

As for the Morbid Demons, they smiled cruelly while dashing, jumping and running like little Tasmanian devils!

Instantly, the little beasts started foaming in the mouth while making exciting sounds like a leopard brutally chewing its prey.

~Grawp-Grawp-Grawp-Grawp~

Their rotting saliva, mixed with crawling creatures, began oozing from the sides of their mouths.

And the closer they approached, the more they lost their sense of reasoning after seeing so much food around.

Yes. Their boss did signal them not to eat the 'food' here and only wait for after the battle before they could feast... But if they stole an eye and ate it now, how would the boss know?

How can the boss prove that the person didn't originally come here with one eye?

Of course, baby demons were somewhat stupid too. They hadn't even thought about the blood oozing out from the person's eyeballs to prove them guilty.

For many, this was actually their first time in the human world, and they were just more than excited to move about.

Moreover, even if their boss did tell them not to do something? Be it demons or humans, when have children ever obeyed instructions wholly? The more one grows, the more lessons one will learn.

And for these demons, they thought that even if they did commit a crime, they would be smart enough to get away with it.

After all, they were natural-born demons, so scheming, betrayal, and all those things were part of their nature. Only absolute fear could suppress them.

It was just that even though they feared their boss, one shouldn't forget that their boss was still a lesser demon too.

That's right.

Their boss was indeed within the top people within the lesser class rank of underworld creatures.

Nonetheless, it was still a low-level demon. So how much respect and fear could they have for a low-level monster?

.

The Morbid demons licked their drool with expectation and felt that it wasn't fair that they had to wait for the end of the battle before feasting.

Deep down, they secretly looked down at their boss even though they feared it.

Their boss came out tonight to gather enough souls, feast enough and rank up too.

So many of these demons were still obedient because once the boss ranked up, they too would have benefits. In short, the whole thing was a contracting and contradicting aspect.

They wanted the glory of their boss after ranking up but were now secretly trying to disobey their boss and taste a little piece of food.

Some underworld creatures sucked their victim's soul clean, while others did so by various other means.

But Morbid demons could only taste one's would by brutally eating the flesh like a wild animal in the woods.

They had eaten other underworld creatures countless times since demons fought day in day out to rank up.

But now, seeing all this human flesh before them, how could they not want to taste or nibble on a bit?

Flesh. Flesh. Flesh. Flesh!

Their mouths watered and validated at the scene before them. Of course, they first decided to take care of the people their boss mentioned before secretly taking a piece of flesh from the many food options available.

Or wait! To make it more disguisable, could they secretly eat off the people they were attacking instead?

Yes! Yes! If they bit off a chunk of his legs or something, their boss couldn't fault them for that, right?

Hahahhahahaha! The demons who were all still within the Demon Brain-developing stage, very proudly praised themselves for how smart they were.

Yes. If they acted like that, their boss would never know.

.

~Grawp-Grawp-Grawp-Grawp~

Panic filled the air as several people took steps back in fright while pointing their guns ahead.

Raulin watched the gruelling beasts rush towards deeply, and began yelling at the audience with his eyes still staring at the front: "Everyone, no shooting. You'll only make things worse!"

Guns had no effect on these beasts. So once regenerated, the positions of their hearts would change.

This per se wasn't the main issue since Dorian had told him that their hearts could only be in 3 out of 5 positions.

And after regeneration, the hearts would shift to any of the 5 positions. So things should be okay for a while.

But what happens when they keep shooting and making these things regenerate over and over again with no heart killed?

Remember, bullets wouldn't do anything. So they would just be regenerating them countless times. And that was the problem. You see… Just like the case of Hercules slicing off the head of the 3-headed snake, the matter here was very similar to that.

After regenerative severally in a short span of time with no heart killed, Morbid demons would grow 10 times their size and have 10 heads and hands as well.

So this went without saying that guns were definitely not allowed here.

It was just that even though Raulin gave an order, some people were just too anxious to live.

Hulan looked at the gun held by the guard by her side and anxiously reached for it after watching the overwhelming storm of Morbid demons reach them.

No. No. She didn't want to die.

She...

~Bang!
