Chapter 494: Fangs Sharper Than Steel
Pablo never slowed down his speed to reach Corrosive.
The Cannibals were the easiest to kill for him and according to him as well. They were savages with not that much brains and wits. Malvador had only sided with them for the numbers.
And even if the Cannibals were strong and could kill many soldiers of the Forza kingdom, they were still no match for Pablo.
Right now, he dashed towards Corrosive, who, Pablo believed would be busy with High Duke Boulder.
Malvador could be taken care of later but if it was easy for Corrosive to die, then Pablo would like to get it over with.
He killed many soldiers along the way. Vampires and Cannibals alike.
The Cannibals died easily but for the Vampires, Pablo made sure to stab their hearts or brains. He wanted no healing from them. He shall not use his Colt on the same enemy twice. That would be shameful of a Commander. Also, his pride won't allow that.
Some soldiers tried to spew acid on Pablo. Some soldiers tried to erupt blades out of their bodies at Pablo. But Pablo killed them all. No one was able to touch him and when he wasn't in the mood to use Colt, he would simply use a little bit of Harlia's Ego and the soldiers would burst.
Like that, after countless killing of Vampires and Cannibals, Pablo finally reached the spot from where Boulder had thrown a corpse in the sky.
As soon as Pablo reached there, the scene made him believe he was in a dream.
Boulder was bleeding.
The towering High Duke had his right hand on his left shoulder and when Pablo looked, he saw that Boulder's shoulder had suffered a gash wound. Blood dripped profusely from his left shoulder.
But as Pablo expected, Boulder showed no signs of pain and instead he had a smile on his face.
Pablo then looked at Corrosive and the man's mouth was covered in red as flesh swung between his teeth.
He had his stomach clenched and Pablo believed that Boulder had harmed the Cannibal king as well.
But Pablo was really amazed at Corrosive's strength as looking at the wound of Boulder's left shoulder and the blood around the Cannibal king's mouth, Pablo figured that Corrosive had feasted on Boulder. The cannibal king had chewed his way out of Demonite armor and managed to taste Boulder's flesh.
Also, when Pablo looked at the face of the Cannibal king, he found the face just as he imagined.
The man had unkempt brown hair, he had a large forehead mostly because his hairline had receded. His stomach was bloated, he looked like drank beer in place of water. The man was ugly, undesirable and the perfect candidate for being the king of the Cannibals.
But if Pablo found anything formidable then it were the teeth of the man.
They were white, sharp and his fangs looked even sharper than Malvador.
All that eating had evolved their teeth, I suppose.
While Pablo eyed Corrosive, the Cannibal's eyes also fell on him.
Pablo was behind Boulder and when Corrosive saw him, he flashed his teeth.
"So you finally came to me, king of the Humans."
Boulder turned around. "You came. Go and take a stroll. I'll be finished by then."
Pablo shook his head. "There is no need for that. I gave you time. You did nothing. You go and take a stroll."
"He bit me!" Boulder roared. "I will make him pay. I will shove my leg inside his mouth and rip it open!"
"No. If you could have done that you wouldn't have gotten bitten. Leave him to me now." Pablo won't change his mind. But Boulder wasn't someone who could change something either.
"I don't give a fuck, Commander. I may be under you right now but I won't tolerate humiliation by a Cannibal. Give me a minute and I shall prove my might!"
"If you are so eager to prove your might then go and fight Malvador if you dare! I know you can kill this Cannibal. I know you can win. But I had said, if I come and see this man alive then you will leave. What I said happened, so now leave. Go to a healer or a whore. I don't give a fuck. Just leave."
Pablo stated his orders and he was never afraid of anyone. Even if it was a High Duke or the King.
Boulder's lips quivered as he stared at Pablo and Pablo stared back at the two times taller man than him.
Boulder stared a little more but in the end…
"Fine. I shall move back. But I want to see how you fight him. I will stand on the side."
Boulder walked over and now he stood behind Pablo.
Pablo clenched his jaw. "This is not a game, Boulder. The war isn't something you can watch from the side. Go and fight other men. Quit being the bystander and get some blood on your armor which isn't yours!"
"I am no bystander, Commander. I want to see if you can kill him as fast as you wanted me to finish him off."
Pablo rolled his eyes.
"I didn't want you to finish him off for fucks sake! I had told you to stay still and I will fight him. You insisted, that's why I gave you a deadline to finish him off in the first place. I am not disappointed in you, Boulder. I am just saying you didn't kill him before I could reach here and as per our promise, you have to leave. You are wasted in this war if you stand like this."
Boulder heard each word of Pablo and the High Duke went silent.
He narrowed his eyes at Pablo and then at Corrosive and in the end…
"Fine." He found sense. "Good luck with this guy. He is hungry."
Pablo nodded and Boulder went away to fight other enemies.
Now Pablo and Corrosive were in front of each other and Pablo had a smile on his face.
"He is hungry, you say? Then a leg must really be shoved inside his mouth."
