All of the angels had dark and gloomy expressions on their faces which were completely filled with fear.
"..."
"No..."
Those who thought about quitting and running towards the audience suddenly had fear engulfing them.
Also, the audiences were completely shocked and stunned at what had happened. Their hearts could hardly take any more of this.
"Demon... he is a demon!"
By demon they didn't mean demon race, what they actually wanted to tell was his behaviour was comparable with a demon's behaviour.
Demon race was not bad but there were a very few who were quite crooked.
They were indicating the same crooked ones when they mentioned that.
Their hands and bodies were trembling at a high rate and they could hardly keep their eyes opened,
Though some of them wanted to see others die and enjoyed it, they were scared when it was their own turn because of which they kept quiet the whole time.
"So no one else wants to go and join the audience?", Rex asked with calm gazes.
But all the fallen angels who were participating in the small event that Rex had planned knew that there was something evil hiding behind his small laugh.
"N-no...", the were barely able to deny since their voices were stuck.
They felt that their throats were dry on top of which all their energy had been long drained.
"Hmm... that's good! Then let's start the small 2 minutes game..."
They looked at him and felt that a real devil was standing there. But more than that they didn't understand what this so called game of 2 minutes was.
"It's simple... I will ask just one question. Your fate will be determined based on that.", he said.
They were somehow satisfied with the game which was only about asking questions but that didn't mean that they were devoid of fear.
"Hmm, but that would end too early... I want something that can entertain me more...", he looked at them while saying that.
All of their moods shifted to the negative side even more the moment they heard this.
"W-waht does that mean?", they asked among themselves because their worry increases.
Rex counted the number of fallen angels that were present and immediately said, "There are 19 of you right now..."
They looked at themselves and confirmed that they really were 19 in total.
"So, it's an odd number which I don't like...", he looked at them and said that.
They couldn't understand what he meant by that and what he literally wanted.
"Haha, then I want one of you to be dead.", he said this quite easily while laughing.
The moment that happened all of them who were standing next to each other suddenly looked with terror eyes.
They had a murderous intent flowing from their bodies while looking at eachother and it seemed as if they would kill anyone at any instant.
Everyone's gazes had turned cold. The audience were also anticipating something to happen soon.
"Haha, we can just add someone from the audience! Why didn't I think that?", Rex said it while smiling again.
All of the audiences suddenly got shivers running down their spine the moment Rex said that.
No one wanted to go out there and play the game as they felt that the place where they were sitting was much safer.
Rex had arranged chairs for them after all since before killing a sheep or goat, it's fed a lot and that was the principle what Rex was using!
He literally thought of the fallen angels as expendables. In reality majority of his mind was being influenced by an external force which he himself wasn't aware of and that was what causing this imbalance.
When he announced about bringing someone from the audience, the atmosphere and the tension of the participants and the audience got reversed.
The participants or players who were suddenly stressed or tensed were relaxed for some reason when they heard that and the audience who was a bit relaxed and less stressed compared to the players, were now completely freaked out.
"So no one is going to come from the audiences?", he asked.
But to his question there was no reply. All of them were just looking at each other and were waiting for someone to go.
"Oh well... if no one comes from the audience then I'll probably kill all of them who aren't playing here...", the moment he said that, 6 fallen angels reflexively ran out from the seats.
"Me!"
"Me!"
"I will!"
"Here!"
Those were some of the voices that were heard the moment Rex announced that.
"Pffftt, haha, you all literally believed that!?", Rex was just laughing since for him all this was just fun.
It was nearly impossible for them to take anything as a joke or lie. Everything that came out from Rex's mouth right now was something which they were forced to believe and had to believe no matter what!
The killing and blood which he despised a lot was now just a source of entertainment for him.
"Hmm, anyway... since all the six of you have come, join the players group.", was what he said.
They couldn't have possibly denied him since that would lead to instant death for them. That's why all of them did as they were told.
They walked slowly towards the few fallen angels that were standing there.
Many of them were without a doubt men, however there were a few women among them who had cross dressed in order to escape from the killing by their own kin!
Now there were totally 25 members which was again and off number due to which Rex decided to add a game for real.
"Ke ke, I want only 20 members in the round one... five members have to die among you..."
The participants were shocked the moment they heard this. It was the same as earlier.
The ones who left the audiences to join the players group regretted their actions and the ones who were already in the players group from the start Cursed the newly joined ones!
"We shouldn't delay any further... let's start!", Rex gave out an evil smirk and said about starting.
But none of them moved from their location. All they were doing was glancing here and there and looking at their surroundings in order to escape if someone attacked.
"Sigh... can't you guys hear me? I SAID START!", his voice was too deep and scary and immediately after he said that all of them ran towards each other in order to kill them.
"Hyaaaaa!!!"
"Oraaaaa!!!"
"You!!!!"
Those were the words that were being heard. It was literally echoing in the closed main chamber which Rex had restored after destroying it earlier.
'SPLASH'
'BAM'
'SLASH'
'SPLASH'
There were a lot of noises of hitting and banging. Also the blood being splashed was clearly heard.
"Good... very good.", Rex was flying and enjoying this while watching all that was happening.
"More.... I want more! Kill more!", that was what he was saying to himself.
The fight continued for sometime after which it suddenly paused.
Rex who was enjoying the blood shed and the fight too stopped smirking.
"Huh? You all ceased fighting?", he asked.
All of them kept their heads lowered and nodded to what he said.
"Haha, terrific! Looks like you have killed 5 of your kin!", he laughed and asked them to move aside and show their doings.
They walked a few steps back or sideways and showed the dead ones to him.
There were 3 female fallen angels and 2 young teen fallen angels who were dead.
They seemed to have been brutally killed since there teeth were broken and had fallen outside.
The blood was all over their mouth and faces. They had many swollen areas and apart from that, it seemed as if their body proportions were messed with.
That was maybe because they were stomped upon. Also, their bones were visible including the tendons.
Rex was surprised when he saw that but instead of being guilty or being angry, he was quite enthusiastic.
He started complimenting them by saying, "Splendid! Bravo!!! That was quite finely done!"
He looked at them only to find that all of them had scars and bruises too.
The blood had splashed one their faces too which was gloomy for some reason.
It was definitely not their first time killing, but for some reason this was the first time they pitied someone.
"Ke ke ke, good job. Now the next which is the last and final part of the game...", Rex was eager to play this round for some reason.
"I'll be asking you a question or will be instructing you to do something, your fate with lie on the options that you choose.", he grinned.
They prepared themselves to hear the question since they didn't have any other option in the first place.
'The ones who want to be left alive, come and stand towards my right side and the ones who do not want to live, stand towards the left.', was what he said.
"..."
