Deviant: No Longer Human

Chapter 259 - 259: When Earth screams 'neath bloody rain, heavens' cries shake the sky! (2)

"You, have you summoned everyone here already?" Wang Xiao's voice broke through the heavy silence, pulling Elara from her repulsion.

"Huh?" The sudden question startled her, drawing her gaze back to him.

With a slight shake of her head and removing her hand from her mouth, Elara replied, her voice carrying a bitter edge, "Not everyone. The princesses from the allied nations destined to arrive have not yet made their appearance. Messengers have already been dispatched to escort them here; we only await the New Lord's confirmation."

Wang Xiao nodded, casting another evaluative look at Elara. Despite the horrors that had just unfolded, he had to admit she was handling her responsibilities well. Since her 'initial baptism' into this brutal new reality, she had proven herself capable.

As Wang Xiao's gaze shifted back to the women kneeling on the ground, a collective gasp of terror escaped them.

To their frightened eyes, his mere glance seemed to herald the approach of the grim reaper, coming directly for them next.

However, his gaze zeroed in on someone else,

"L-Lord!?"

"What does this mean?!"

Their voices trembled in fear, their panic palpable. Even Aurora, taken aback by the sudden turn of events, realized that these women, untouched by Asmodeous, held potential. But Wang Xiao had different intentions.

"Booom!

Booom!

Booom!

"Argh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Screams echoed through the air, each more horrifying than the last, as twigs and branches of all sizes, like a twisted circle of death, hurled themselves towards the helpless crowd. It was pure chaos, witnessing them being pierced to death while still alive.

"S... Save... Me..."

Some met their end instantly, while others slowly bled out. The terrifying scene sent chills down the spines of all who witnessed it, especially when Elara caught Wang Xiao's chilling smile as he gazed upon the pool of blood, causing her eyes to widen in horror.

The stench grew unbearable, assaulting their senses as—

"Ughhhh!"

Several of the women couldn't hold it in and vomited on the spot, causing Wang Xiao to visibly recoil in disgust. He then turned his attention to Jhenny, who suffered silently in unimaginable agony, her eyes filled with terror as she beheld the remains of once living beings before her.
