'Fuck, they're really persistent I give them that.'
Sera has been on the ground for a couple of minutes, trying to find a way out of the situation. Every idea she came up with was dismissed pretty fast.
'What to do? I could try to surprise them and while covering myself go for the door, which way was it again? Or could just start attacking, no that would be a death sentence.'
Thankfully the wings were strong enough that the tongues couldn't pierce it. But as time went by and she was running out of ideas, Sera started to become angrier and angrier with each passing moment.
'These assholes. If I get out of here you will be my fucking dinner!'
What's causing this anger? She didn't know but also couldn't stop it from starting to consume her minds.
"I'm going to roast each and every one of you filthy lizards."
While shouting she only got angrier. It was like that anger fed itself. She only wanted one thing, killing the reptiles. Her eyes turned hazy from the anger. No, that wasn't the right word, it was bloodlust. And with that bloodlust came the need to destroy her enemies an that gave her power.
"What-what's this? Ha-ha-ha, now you are well and truly fucked!"
It was the last thing she said before exploding into movement, but something didn't look right with the lizard. They were frozen in their place, as if in total despair.
But Sera failed to notice it through her hazy mind or just simply didn't care. She made quick work of the chameleons, cut off the heads of some of them, the others she straight up gutted. But she didn't stop at killing them, oh no, she obliterated every last one until only bloody piles of pulp remained.
After reclaiming some sense of self, she paled, went on her knees and tried to hold back her nausea.
'What was that? Why did I go full berserker on them? Yes they annoyed me, but definitely not enough to do that!' She said while looking at the piles.
The realization hit her kind of fast. Looking down at her bloody glaive she said: "So that's what your attribute is. Giving me power as my need to kill them arose. But wait, didn't the weapon cause that need as well? Oh, I get it, the weapon causes bloodlust, which could be translated to 'the need to kill', and as the user's need increases the weapon becomes more powerful."
Title: Angel Monarch
1st Kill: ...
Life Essence Absorbed: 98/1000
"Well I did kill a lot of those critters and they gave 2 Essence each. 1/10th of my core is already saturated, with this speed I should began looking for a monster to absorb for ranking up."
Then she looked further down at the items section.
Items: <Insatiable Hunger>
"No new items? I guess life just doesn't want to take it easy on me."
She closed her status window and started devouring the meat, that has been cooking.
'Hmm... This meat tastes even better with seasoning. Why can't its blood taste the same?'
She quickly ate everything, then put out the fire and went for the door.
'The next night I should probably sleep, its a miracle I can still stand. I'm so exhausted, but have to move on. These corpses will definitely attract the nocturnal monsters.
While thinking that, she heard a big roar coming from somewhere in the forest around the town. Sera quickened her steps and was about to lift into the air, but saw something flying further away and decided against it.
'Better not chance it in my current state.' Then she looked down the ruined road heading west. 'Right, I guess walking it is then.'
She looked around one last time and began walking on the road, into the night.
