Creatures Lurking in the Dark

Somewhere in the slum area of Lutenburg

 

"Boss, there's something you might want to see." The man put a piece of paper on the table.

 

In front of him, the back of the chair was facing him. Someone was sitting on it, and only the top of his head, which had no hair and a large tattoo, was visible from where the man stood.

 

He didn't turn around right away. He calmly puffed a smoke from the cigar before turning around.

 

It was clear that the man sitting on the chair was on a higher hierarchy than the standing man.

 

After letting out all the smoke in his lungs, the man finally spun his chair around and picked up the paper to read its contents.

 

"... Is this confirmed?" The man asked after reading what was written.

 

"Yes. We have triple-checked. What was written in there is correct. I have also sent out some men to scout the area. Oris's men look restless, and they seem to have increased their security."

 

"Good, as expected of my right-hand man. Tell our men to also arm themselves and be prepared to move out at any moment. Even those who are not here, tell them to rally up right away. You can use all of our men. It is finally the day we monopolize the slum area. Do not miss this chance." The man took one deep puff before putting it out in his ashtray.

 

"Understood. Then please excuse me. I will head out right away." The man bowed and left the room.

 

Now alone inside his room, the man picked up the letter again as he muttered.

 

"Oris, you fucked up big time. I must admit that you know how to run things in here. But you are too greedy. I don't know who you incur their wrath, but having a wanted to be issued by the knight spells your doom. Now I have a legitimate reason to move against you. Hahahaha." The man laughed as he lit the edge of the paper on fire and threw it into his ashtray.

 

His organization was just as big and powerful as Oris's, but as a cautious man, he had never gone all out against the rival group. The reason was simple: if two big crime organizations fought against each other, the commotion would draw the attention of the authorities and move to eradicate them. That was the least he wanted to happen.

 

He turned around and looked through his window. It was cloudy, and the moonlight barely reached the surface. But that was the way he preferred it to be. All the deals and bloodshed that happened in the slum must stay in the slum. That was his policy. As long as they didn't blatantly oppose the country, they were free to do whatever they wanted here.

 

The man looked up and took a deep breath as he reminisced about the past.

 

It was the same sky as that day when their fates intertwined.

 

The man's name was Bruno. He was an abandoned child living in the slum. And just like any other kid, unless you pickpocket and steal food to live, you'd be found lying on the street and die a dog death.

 

To make it easier, all the kids living in the slum formed a small group and worked together and helped each other.

 

Needless to say, what they did was illegal, and countless people were troubled and annoyed by their deeds. If they were caught, they would be beaten up and thrown to a side street on the slum to deter others from doing the same things. But they were just brats; what could they do but steal, and no one would want to hire sea urchins like them. They had barely enough scraps to eat, so their bodies were all malnutrition.

 

And so, they continued to steal. Until one day, they were caught by the knight and detained. That was where Bruno and Oris met. At the time, they were the bestie with each other, being similar to how they had lived their lives so far.

 

They were sent to a labor camp to help rebuild the ruined village after the war against the corrupted monsters. It was hard for both of them, as they were just kids and had been living however they wanted, so the restraint of being in a labor camp did not sit well with them.

 

So they worked together and escaped from it to return to the pickpocket life.

 

One day, just as usual, they picked a target on the street as their victim. It was a man in his late 50s.

 

He looked old, and he was wearing some luxurious accessories and clothes— an easy target for the two.

 

As the two had planned ahead, one of them would approach the man and ask him for change while the other would 'accidentally' bump into the man and steal the money.

 

It should have been the case. But what actually happened was beyond the two's imagination.

 

Before one of them could bump into the man, he sidestepped and grabbed the hand that was sneaking its way into his pocket.

 

He told them that they were too green to pull the trick on him and that they shouldn't judge a person by his look.

 

It turned out the old man, who had lived through more than half of his lifespan, was a big shot in the underground world.

 

The two were so scared when they thought that they would be handed over to the authority once again. However, to their surprise, the man actually did the opposite.

 

He forcefully took them back with him, gave them food, a place to stay, and even pocket money, and offered them to work for him.

 

They later found out that the man was looking for a capable man to take over his profession. He revealed to them that he had not a long time to live because he had contracted a chronic, incurable disease. 

 

So he wanted the two to learn from him. But then, why them of all others who had worked for him for a long time?

 

He told them that the look in their eyes was what he was looking for. 

 

They were young children, yet cunning.

 

They were abandoned children who did not give up on life.

 

Those were the qualities that he was looking to take over for him.

 

And so, the man drilled into them everything he knew, from dirty tricks and underhand deals to how to exploit the loophole in the law.

 

As days passed, the man grew weaker and weaker as the two became smarter and smarter.

 

However, as they gained more knowledge, so did their greed and thoughts diverse.

 

Bruno had always been the more careful type between the two, while Oris was the more greedy type. He wanted everything he had set his eyes on without carefully considering the consequences. He would kidnap girls and steal art pieces from rich merchants and even noblemen.

 

Bruno had warned him out of the friendship they shared, but Oris just shrugged it off and continued to do whatever he liked.

 

Finally, the old man succumbed to his disease. It was also at this time an unmendable rift started to form between them.

 

Oris thought he was the one most suitable and wanted to inherit everything from the man. Bruno obviously objected to his absurd demand.

 

Ultimately, the biggest underground syndicate was split into two. One led by Bruno, and the other led by Oris.

 

They had been headbutting and stealing each other's contracts since then, causing more and more tension to the point that they were willing to out for blood.

 

"It had been five years, huh..." Bruno finally opened his eyes and heaped a sigh. He wanted to end everything tonight.

 

He walked over to the side of the room, where a large halberd was hanging on the wall. 

 

It was his trusted weapon. And today, after a long time of not using it, he picked it up and gave it a test swing.

 

"Good. It still fits perfectly in my hand. Let's end this tonight, shall we?" Bruno left the room with his weapon in hand. Today, he would personally lead his men to the fight.

*Drip*

 

A droplet of sweat fell from Rika's forehead.

 

It was stuffy in this cobwebs-filled ventilation shaft, but it was not the reason Rika was sweating.

 

As a member of the cat race, her body's temperature could adapt to most places.

 

The reason she was sweating was because of the scene unfolding before her eyes.

 

When she infiltrated the evil-doers' lair, she heard a cry of despair from a young girl coming from a closed room. The only way to access the room without alarming anyone was through this shaft. Hence the reason why she was here.

 

And as she was waiting for the chance to help the girl, her eyes coincidentally met with the girl.

 

"Nah!? That girl saw me. Shh~ Shh~ Don't panic, please. I'm here to help." Rika tried to signal the girl with her frantic gestures. She didn't actually say anything and just let the air out of her mouth. She was too close to the men to cause any commotion.

 

Unfortunately, the gaps were too small for the girl to make out what she was trying to convey with gestures. The girl just looked at her dumbfoundedly despite the abusive acts happening to her.

 

Rika thought of something as she took the needle weapons out and stuck a part of it out through the gaps. Then she pointed at the three men in turn and made an X mark by making a cross with the needles. Next, she pointed at the furthest man away and made the needles look like they were walking toward the two men next to her. Finally, she pointed one needle down vertically and slid the other needle horizontally, gesturing that she would kill them.

 

"Please, please, please understand...! Did she just nod? Thank you~!" Rika almost yelled out in delight when she saw a subtle nod from the girl.

 

Now she had to wait patiently for the moment the three men let their guard out. As much as she wanted to rescue the girl before they had their way with her, she knew that it would be impossible as the two men ganging up on the girl and the sitting man's positions were too far apart from each other.

 

Rika apologized to the girl in her heart.

 

—————

 

(Does that person come here to help?) Yuri wondered.

 

At this point, anyone was fine; she wanted to escape from this hell-like place. She hoped that person would grant her that wish. But she didn't know that person was here to help, an enemy, or simply a pervert who enjoyed peeping on a rape scene.

 

She stared at the ceiling for a good whole minute as the men were too focused on molesting her body.

 

(What is that person doing?) Yuri saw the figure do some kind of gesture, but the gaps were too small to see what the person was trying to convey. So she just stared at it absentmindedly.

 

But then, she saw the person sticking two stick-like objects through and pointing at the men in turn. Then the sticks were made into an X mark.

 

(Does that mean they were not that person's ally?)

 

Next, she saw the stick pointed at the man sitting on the chair and walked her stick next to the bed.

 

(You want me to lure the men closer to each other?)

 

Finally, she saw the sticks making a sliding gesture across each other.

 

(You will kill them!!??)

 

It was hope.

 

Finally, the day had come. Someone was here to serve the justice that these men were due.

 

Yuri subtly nodded. She only needed to endure for a little longer and cooperate with the person to kill the man who started this nightmare.

 

"That should do it. Since you're already this wet. I'll grant you the cock you've been waiting for." The man dropped his pants and aligned his erect cock in front of Yuri's pussy.

 

"Yes. Please give my naughty pussy your cock." (Yuri)

 

"Oh? Finally, accept your fate as a sex slave. Ain't that better?" The man said.

 

"How about you put it in yourself and shake your ass for me?" He lay down on the bed with his cock pointed upward.

 

Yuri crawled over to the man before climbing on top of him. She used her hand to guide his penis into her vagina before sitting down on it.

 

"Fuck, still as tight as ever!" The man groaned.

 

"Thank you for granting me your magnificent cock." (Yuri)

 

"Oi, don't forget about me." The other man pushed his cock in front of Yuri before he grabbed her head and invaded her small mouth.

 

"Mmgu, slrp, aah... Would you like to join in, sir? Hnngh... I still have another hole here... mmlrp." Yuri spread her asscheeks wide open, revealing her twitching butthole.

 

As much as she felt repulsive having something enter the place meant to excrete, she had been ravished in that place countless times before. And the more she screamed for them to stop, the rougher they became. There were times they put something bigger than their penises inside her asshole and called that training. There was no element of training; all Yuri could see was torture as she was left with lacerated and cut wounds.

 

"Damn! You heard the slut. Come join us. Let's fill up this cock-hungry whore." The man rocking his hips into Yuri's face said.

 

"Gehehe, sure. Since she has asked so nicely, who am I to reject a slut's invitation." The man sitting on the chair stood up and took his pants off.

 

He walked over to the sex carnival and climbed on the bed. He held his cock, teasingly brushing the tip against her puckering backdoor.

 

"Please hurry! My ass-pussy is so lonely! Please fill it up with your manly cock." Yuri shook her ass invitingly as she rode on the cock in her pussy.

 

"It's been a while since we've tried double penetration. Let's see how tight your holes will be when they are stuffed with two dicks." The man pulled apart her asscheek and aimed the tip of his cock at her puckering hole.

 

Not wasting any more time, he shoved it in without any foreplay to loosen up the tight hole.

 

"Mnngah! T-They're rubbing inside me! I feel so full." (Yuri)

 

"Hey, don't forget about this dick. Move your mouth." The man in front of her shoved his cock deep into her throat.

 

"Nngooh! Ah, ngguh...! Mmh, aah... slrrp..." (Yuri)

 

"Ooh! I can feel your dick moving on the other side. She tightened up on this side when you pushed in from there." The man fucking her pussy said.

 

"Me too. Damn, this fuck hole is too good. Unlike the other bitches, this one has never gotten loose." The man fucking her asshole replied.

 

"Really? And here I thought she had gotten all loose after being fucked so much. Lemme have a go at her ass after this round."

 

"Sure. It's so fucking tight that I'm close to cumming now."

 

"This pussy-throat is also amazing, you know. Her throat is so fucking soft that I can't stop hitting it with the tip of my cock." The man fucking her mouth said.

 

"Oh, then lemme have a taste of that mouth. I love having my bitch licking her ass juice off my dick."

 

"Sure. Let's finish this round quickly, then. Let's fill this bitch up right away." He sneered.

 

""Okay!""

 

All three men increased their thrusting speed. Their conversation made Yuri realize that they did not intend to stop after one time, and who knew how many times these vulgar men would dump their cum into her before they were satisfied.

 

(P-Please, no more. Help me!)

 

Yuri shed her tears as the men around her commented about her body as they rocked their hips to seek their own pleasure.

 

With her current position, she couldn't see the person who was hiding above, but she knew for sure that person was waiting for the chance to finish them all off. Her only wish was to be saved from this humiliation and defilement as soon as possible.

 

And for once, her wish finally came true.

 

–––––––

 

"Nyuh! Those filthy bastards! Treating a person like their own plaything. Gaah! I can't watch this anymore. I have to save that girl." Rika gritted her teeth at the scene before her. 

 

As a woman herself, she could understand and sympathize with what the girl was going through right now. And she could no longer afford to wait a second longer.

 

She quickly unhooked the clasp that held the vent in place and gripped one of the steel needles in each hand.

 

"I only have one chance. I cannot miss this!" Steeling her mind one last time, Rika calculated the trajectory of her fall to finish off the three men at the same time without causing harm to the girl.

 

Finally, she held a third needle in her mouth before pushing her body forward and slamming open the ventilation filter. 

 

She dropped down and stabbed the first needle in her left hand straight from the top of the man's head, the one that was moving his cock in and out of the girl's butthole. She was a right-hand person, so her left hand didn't have the same strength muscle as her right hand. But thanks to the gravity of her falling, she could easily pierce the needle through his skull and out from below his chin.

 

She landed on the shoulder of the man thrusting his hips into the girl's mouth. She locked her legs tightly around his neck before twisting her body to the side. A loud crack sound reverberating the room indicated that his neck was indeed broken. She, along with the man locked in her legs, fell down on the bed.

 

Almost at the same time, she stabbed the man rocking his hips up from below the girl with the needle in her right hand. She stabbed the needle sideway into the man's earhole. The needle came out from the other side, completely impaling his brain from one side to the other.

 

"Nnnguh...!" The girl flinched.

 

These men were gross even at their death doorsteps. They ejaculated into the girl the moment their lives were extinguished.

 

Rika also unwillingly became victim to their lust because the man she knocked down on the bed shot his cum straight up when he fell down. His hot and yellowish semen splattered onto Rika and the girl's face.

 

"Nuyewh!!! Disgusting!" Rika spat out some of the man's semen that made its way into her mouth.

 

"A woman?" The girl looked at Rika and asked in a shaky voice.

 

"Are you alright? Does your body hurt anywhere?" Rika hopped out of the bed and pulled the girl away from the men who were sandwiching her between them.

 

"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me. *Sob* *Sob*" The girl finally broke down into tears.

 

"Nywah! I-It's okay. Everything is going to be okay. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you sooner." Rika hugged the girl and patted the back of her head.

 

"No. I'm very grateful that you saved me. I'm so glad. *Sob* Waah!!!" The girl hugged Rika tightly as she cried.

 

"It'll be fine. I'm here to save everyone." (Rika)

 

The girl cried in Rika's arms for a good five minutes. After she had calmed down, Rika started asking her for information.

 

"My name is Rika. What's your name?" (Rika)

 

"I'm called Yuri." (Yuri)

 

"Then Yuri, do you know how many people are being held captive here?" (Rika)

 

"All the captives in this place are all girls. They are being held in two separate rooms in the basement. Including me, there should be around a dozen." (Yuri)

 

"That's a lot... Then, next is about the boss of this place. Do you know his name and where he is?" (Rika)

 

"Yes, the boss's name is Oris. He's a brutal and greedy man. He's also strong in combat, but I don't think Miss Rika will have any trouble fighting him." Yuri took a look at the three corpses on the bed and continued, "I was forced to serve him until a moment ago, so he should still be in his office, which is located two floors up from here."

 

"Thank you for telling me that. But actually, I'd like to refrain from fighting him head-on. I kinda twisted my ankle when I snuck up on those three." Rika looked down at her slightly red ankle and rubbed it.

 

"I-I'm so sorry! You injured yourself to save me!" Yuri panicked and bowed to apologize.

 

"It's fine. As long as I don't have to run, I can still walk. And I'm here to save everyone anyway." Rika calmed the girl.

 

"Miss Rika, who are you?" (Yuri)

 

"Well, let's just say I'm someone affiliated with the knight. I promise I will take you and the other girls back to your home." Rika patted her chest.

 

"I see. I can finally return home, back to his side." Yuri looked up and said with a sad tone as a single droplet of tears fell down from the corner of her eyes.

 

Rika was puzzled at her expression. She thought that Yuri was happy that she could finally return home and dismissed the strange expression on her face. She chose to focus on a more pressing matter. Her mission was far from over.

 

"Yosh, first, let's go and save the other girls." Rika stood up and walked over to the corpses. "But I can't leave them here like this. Yuri, can you help me clean this up, please?"

 

"Gladly. Please allow me to help you. I want to repay you for saving me." Yuri stood up and rushed over to Rika.

 

"Ah..." Yuri suddenly yelped.

 

"What's wrong?" (Rika)

 

"Um... S-Some of it just leaked..." Yuri mumbled.

 

"What leak?" Rika tilted her head.

 

"Eh... um... Just now, when you killed them when they were having their ways with me... they also ejaculated into me... and now the semen is leaking..." (Yuri)

 

"These filthy bastards." Rika angrily kicked one of the dead men. "Let's clean you up first and also find you some clothes."

 

Rika ripped a part of the bedsheet and gave the cloth to Yuri so she could clean herself up. Then she gathered her clothes that the men had thrown on the ground and gave them to Yuri. They were more like a rag, but they were better than nothing."

 

And so, Rika and Yuri cleaned up the room and hid the bodies under the bed. Luckily, Rika was trained and specialized in assassination, so the way she finished her targets allowed little blood and other traces to be found.

 

They quickly returned the room to the state it used to be.
