Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

In the shadows far deeper, a dark, hunched figure unhurriedly stepped out of the shadows.

"So you have finally come..." It spoke to itself, not feeling the least bit intimidated by the arrival of these strangers.

The many underworld beings it allowed to roam these parts were weaklings in its eyes.

Even it could smite them all with a single command.

So what of it?

Having loved in this mortal world for years upon years, it has never met a human that could take it down.

From the reports, the humans seem to have fallen holy weapons.

Again, so what?

Just slice off their hands, and they won't be able to hold any weapon.

With its speed, it was 20 times faster than any human. So by the time they begin rating their weapons, it would've already grabbed their hearts out of their chests.

Stupid.

It felt the weaklings it allowed to roam about its den were really useless. It scoffed and sneered in disdain at their fates.

This was how underworld beings were.

Right from birth, they were selfish, greedy, and always disposed of the weak.

Their pride was infinite. And that's why in its mind, it felt no one could ever take it down in this mortal world.

Hmph!

These humans have always been the prey. So when is it their time to become the hunters? Naive!

The creature's giant figure slowly left the foggy, hidden space with a cruel smile plastered on its molding lips.

Why should it be angry at these idiotic humans for coming in? If anything, it only meant more food for it.

.

Growl!~

The entire island rumbled.

An earthquake of the highest order seemed to be occurring right before their very eyes... At least that's what many would've thought if not for the thunderous growl that threatened to burst their eardrums.

~Wang! Wang! Wang! Wang!

Many felt their eardrums vibrate in pain.

They dropped to their knees, also placing their hands on their ears too.

"It hurts... It hurts... Please make it stop!"

Many found their voices had degenerated into childish whimpers.

They screamed and began running away, recalling the frightful figure that always emerged Webber that growl echoed.

"It's coming... It's coming..."

Bho Jin grabbed a man beside him anxiously. He knew his question was dumb. But his mouth ran faster than his thoughts. "What?... What's coming?"

The pimple and boil face-man shook his head hysterically. "I... I... It's coming... IT'S COMING!... Ahhh!... Run for your life and cover your face! Believe me; your eyes will thank me later!"

The man took off like a headless chicken, so afraid he bumped into a pillar.

(x_x)

... At this point, Bho Jin didn't know what to say.

What sort of creature can make someone so scared their brain co vines their eyes they're blind?

.

Blugh!~

Bho Jin who thought his body was now used to the foul scent here, was again puking his already empty stomach out.

He was just about to wonder who the hell farted their grandmother's intestines just now, when the sounds of heavy footsteps bellowed out.

Din! Din! Din! Din!

Every footstep caused a rumbling effect that made Bho Jin's chest grow tighter.

And soon, they saw a figure emerge from a giant cave above.

Its silhouette spoke volumes, making many not dare look it in the eye.

Voom!

The strange purple fires shooting out the walls all increased their spitting fires. And even Bho Jin began sweating in horror.

Water... Water...

Bho Jin finally understood why he spotted some people drinking their pee.

It hasn't even been long since he and the Navy officer got here. Yet, they were parched and in dire need of fluids.

No way! He hasn't reached that level of drinking his own pee yet!

Bho Jin refused, even if a part of his brain was tempted.

.

Growl!!!!~

The other creatures growled in acknowledgment, seeing their mighty boss appear.

Even they got goosebumps looking at the giant being.

Head shaped like an octopus with 24 tentacles as beards, body wings as deadly as a bone-bat, claws so sharp they should cut steel, rotting body riddled with flies... The creature had but 8 eyes above its tentacles.

These were all the features Bho Jin could see before feeling nauseous again.

Too much!...

He felt if he analyzed its appearance anymore, he would need to put bleach into his eyes when he returned.

Its body was riddled with files that allowed flies to go in and out.

How can something be so ugly?

Good heavens, man! With other creatures he had seen, their insides were mainly filled with maggots. But in this guy's case, its insides were mostly flies, dancing about his insides, bringing more maggots as they looked. And with every shake, the flies would move, and the maggots would fly out, probably falling on the ground the creature stood above.

One word... Disgusting.

.

Bahahahahahha~

The creature's eerie laughter bellowed.

"You lowly humans! Did you really think you were placed in this world to live and roam freely the way you do? Ignorant fools!"

Chang!!!!

The doors of the cages supposedly high up were magically opened. And those inside couldn't help moving backward.

Drip. Drip...

Several people peed themselves.

"No! No! My lord, I beg of you. Don't eat me! Here! Here! Take her, instead."

"You bastard! U have children waiting for me!"

"So what? Who doesn't have loved ones? And you! What about you old man? Haven't you lived long enough? Just die for us and be a hero, already!!"

In humanity's desperate hours, they typically excused the same qualities they, underworld creatures, did.

Greed... Viciousness... Murderous thoughts...

Hahhahahahaha~

The many creatures laughed, seemingly enjoying the show, as well as the strong wave of fear, cruelty, and evil coming from those within the cage.

Their boss hasn't even spoken. Yet these lot were fighting to the point of almost pushing their fellow humans 3~5 stories below.

In that case, won't it be instant death? And yet, the heavens think they are the bad ones.

Bho Jin and the Navy officer also didn't look good, listening to the shameless words of many above. Of course, they also knew it was their fear talking.

Still, that doesn't make what they did right.

​ .

Heh.

The creature licked its lips in satisfaction.

"Now, now... How stupid can you lot be? Since you're in the cages, you can only belong to our bellies!!"

Like so, everyone watched as he suddenly grew 5 times bigger, reaching the ceilings above.

And with a vicious glint in his eyes, he sent his tentacles forth.

Whoosh!

They shot into the cages like crazy.

In one go, it grabbed several people out of the cages. And those taken only felt their blood run dry.

Were they going to die just like this?

Tears trickled down their pale cheeks.

'Please... Please... If there's a demon, there must be a god. So whoever is up there, please hear our cries and save us now!'

Boom!

... Many waited for pain, but it didn't come.

One eye opened, one eye closed (×^•).

God... Is that you?
