Chapter 33: The Steak is High

Skull could see Shiba grinning with its huge mouth, walking towards him.

He knew he had to do something quickly.

Seeing that there was no way out, he summoned the skeletons back to be with him.

Lukas, who was in a tussle with the skeletons and Rock, saw that the skeletons suddenly dissipated and disappeared.

His arms and fingers, with the skin torn open by the skeleton’s sharp finger bones, were now free and had free reign to deal out damage to Rock.

The pain in his back was also gone, only the small gaping wounds remained.

But not for too long, as the wounds began to heal immediately.

Lukas took in a deep breath, clenched his fingers, and ripped out Rock’s throat.

Splatter.

Rock gargled and gasped for air, creating a bubbling sound.

Slowly, his eyes closed as the oxygen supply to his brain was stopped.

Plop.

Rock knelt onto the ground and fell forward after Lukas released his shadow’s grip on Rock’s arms.

A familiar sound erupted in Lukas’s mind.

[Ding!]

As usual, with the addition of Slaughter Points, Lukas felt a surge of energy enter into his body.

And with his energy fully regained, his wounds were healed, and Lukas focused on his hearing.

Rustle.

It took him a moment of focus to locate where the rustling sound was coming from.

Shiba should be over there, Lukas thought as he ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

...

Skeletons appeared around Shiba suddenly.

They lunged at Shiba with their sharp finger bones from all directions.

Thud.

However, their sharp finger bones couldn’t do any damage to the scaly skin of Shiba.

Shiba then opened its huge mouth and snapped at the skeletons.

Crack.

The skeletons that were bitten into pieces by Shiba fell onto the ground.

Shiba also swept with its tail at those skeletons that were coming at it from behind.

It successfully took the skeletons off balance.

Shiba grinned, turned over to Skull, and it wanted to deal out its final blow to Skull.

The skeletons, however, merged back together, and they lunged at Shiba again.

While the skeletons were dealing with Shiba, Skull took out his phone with his trembling hands.

He quickly unlocked it in a last-ditch effort to call for help.

But before he could even enter the rescue mission’s details, a shadow came upon him from behind.

Skull looked in horror as he saw the shadow grab onto the shadow of his arms and pull them to the side.

Immediately, his arms followed suit.

He tried to fight it but couldn’t; Lukas was too strong for him.

"Stop! We are just mercenaries. I have nothing against you. Let me go, and I can pay you handsomely."

Skull said pleadingly as he saw Lukas appearing from behind.

Lukas pulled the phone out from Skull’s hand and looked at the screen.

"You know, I could put a reward for the rescue mission with all the money you have and claim the reward by marking the mission as done right now.

"So why would I want to spare you?"

Lukas said as he entered the reward amount into the rescue mission information.

He turned the phone’s screen towards Skull and showed him.

"Don’t you want to know who engaged us to do this?" Skull said.

Lukas shook his head, and he opened the messaging app in the phone and read through the messages.

"Found it. It’s Pak Soon Hyun." He showed the phone’s screen again to Skull.

Skull was lost for words as he saw the conversation thread between him and Pak Soon Hyun.

The phone’s screen went away, and the next thing Skull saw was Lukas’s fist coming at his face.

He couldn’t move as he was held in place by Lukas’s shadow.

Crack.

Lukas’s fist landed, and Skull’s head cracked, giving out a crunching sound as the bones fractured.

Relentlessly, Lukas rained punches on his face one after another.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

After Skull lost consciousness, the skeletons that were in a tussle with Shiba dissipated and disappeared.

And soon, a familiar sound erupted in Lukas’s mind again.

[Ding!]

[Slaughter Points +300]

[Current Slaughter Points: 2400/3000]

[Host Level: 3]

[Current Abilities: 3]

"You all right over there, buddy?" Lukas turned over to Shiba and asked.

Shiba sat down and nodded at Lukas.

But its eyes started to close.

Lukas quickly went over and checked on Shiba.

He found no wounds on Shiba, and he figured it must have been too tired and needed to sleep.

Recalling that Shiba would need a cool-down period after using its ability, Lukas put Shiba back into his summon space.

Lukas claimed the reward for the rescue mission as he had said and got $160,400 credited into his account.

He went over to Skull’s body and took away his skeleton mask.

Even though it was badly damaged now, it was useful for the plan Lukas had.

Lukas also added his finger print for unlocking Skull’s phone using Skull’s finger.

He then kept Skull’s phone and looked at the bodies of the Skeleton Team lying all over the place.

Might have to join a team soon, Lukas thought about it after this encounter.

After fighting with the Skeleton Team and their abilities, Lukas realized that he might have underestimated the different types of abilities out there.

With this thought in mind, Lukas rummaged through the items that the Skeleton Team had on them.

But there wasn’t much that was useful to him except for some cash.

He took it and left their bodies there for the demonic beasts.

"Time to go back and plan," Lukas said silently as he decided to go back home and rest for the day.

...

Shiba, with its eyes closed, sniffed the air, and it smelled something familiar.

It opened its eyes and saw a familiar sight.

Lukas was making steaks for Shiba.

This time, on the table there were more steaks than before, with two towers stacked up high waiting to be cooked.
