Chapter 16 - C016 : Arena Fight (2)

With the roar of the crowd cheering him on, Shurry continued his assault on the five criminals. His explosive speed was far too much for the confused men, each of whom were worried about being naked in front of so many women. This was a fair and valid fear to have as a man living in Telskyura. After all, there were three things the women in Telskyura loved above everything else; Food, Fighting, and Sex. Everything else might as well be nothing important… Of course there were exceptions to this, however they were the few and far between. As a result, it's safer to assume that every single woman could suddenly push a man to the ground and that was that. 

After taking two more of the loin cloths, the final man still wearing his panicked knowing that he was about to be more embarrassed than the other men. "No, please don't humiliate me." He set off running for the dagger Shurry had thrown at the start of the fight. "I'll sooner… Why does it feel a bit drafty all of a sudden?" He looked down to find he was now just like the other men. 

The crowd pointed and laughed. Some shouted insults, just loud enough to hear. "HAHAHA, can we even call him a man? I've seen more impressive women…" 

The man was even laughed at by two of the other criminals. "Ahahaha, how did you even force yourself on that woman, with a stub like that?" 

"She cut it off while I was railing her! And then it disappeared inside, never to be seen again. It hurts like hell!" 

"Ahahaha! You picked one of those women then? Your luck must be horrible." 

Shurry stopped to think for a moment, dagger in his jaws. Now how am I supposed to finish the cycle I was planning on doing? This complicates things quite a bit… Should I just do slashes? No, the one here oh, he still has some of it… Oh well, I guess it'll have to do. 

The announcer was wiping the tears from her eyes as she recovered from her side splitting laughter. "What's this? Little Shurry has stopped to take a break? What is he thinking right now? A plan of attack? Or is he just tired and taking a rest while the naked men try to collect their thoughts." Her voice carried, still with laughter riddled throughout. "These men ought to get over their nudity soon, otherwise they'll be nothing but stationary targets for Shurry." And then she went back to holding her sides, laughing. 

Lady Kali was watching this arena match with great interest. "Ah, I'll have to ask him why he stopped now of all times. Is he worried about killing the men?" She wondered aloud to the familia captain. 

The familia captain had no idea, so she looked to Oluta for clarification. "Lady Kali, I'm afraid not even I have the answer for you. However, considering what I have seen, I don't think he's wondering about if he should kill them, rather how he should do it." Oluta answered as best she could.

"Oh my, that's quite the change in mindset. So it was worth showing him that place the other day… Now I'm curious what he was going to do to them?" There was a slight pause in her words, as her thoughts took over… She stood up from her throne, decorated with the skulls of former members, slain in the arena. "Is he going to show me a new way to kill this type of criminal?!" Her excitement was nothing short of extreme, it was also infectious.

The Kali familia Captain smirked, and licked her lips. "If that's so, then we have to watch closely. Killing can be an art after all, it's best to find new ways to not get bored." 

Down below Shurry prepared himself. The look in his eyes was clear and filled with no reservation. It sent a shiver of terror down the spines of criminals, and a thrilling sensation through Kali's body. She was a goddess of death, time, and destruction… It would be fair to say that even without her arcanum, she could still sense the destructive deaths yet to occur. 

Shurry lunged forward at blinding speed, it was almost like he gained a new skill, but no, this was not the case. He had been focusing all of his strength for mobility, he had no defense, there was no need. Because the criminals were wide open, fearful of being seen. And in what was only a second, maybe two, or maybe one, no perhaps two? It was hard to tell just how fast it happened, but one of the five men's hand's and dangling bits hit the sandy ground of the arena. Soon the remaining four had a similar result, though one of them had a significantly smaller difference. 

The five criminals wailed in pain as their blood poured like piss from their fresh open wounds between their legs, and wrists. Their panic only made it spurt out faster. The pain washed over them, filling them with reckless abandon. Each finally deciding to charge the wolf boy with whatever they could manage. Their words were simple, and lacking any dignity. They truly were hopeless. 

Turning to face the five of them, Shurry let out an odd sound for a wolf… It gave Kali a distinct feeling, giving rise to a very specific memory from thousands of years ago, while she still resided in Tekai. "The northern wolf…" She whispered as she continued watching the glorious killing below. 

The first man was cut to ribbons, with his organs falling out, and flesh coiling like long noodles upon the ground. Blood spilled in every direction, and his heart slowed down to a dull stop… 

Then the second was diced into chunks, falling to the ground in a near pyramid like shape with a similar pool of blood below his corpse. 

Then the third, the fourth, and finally the last one left, was slammed to the ground, his throat torn open. Shurry returned to humanoid form, picked up a loin cloth and then shoved the expandable parts into the dying criminal's open throat cavity. 

Once he was done… He looked up at Kali with a big smile on his face, wagging his tail back and forth as if begging for praises. What was more, is that even after returning to his normal form he was naked, yet showed no shame unlike the now dead criminals.
