[VRMMO] Dead One
Chapter 747 - 748 – Forgotten Fragment - Forgotten Toy Workshop – Part 3.
The massive volume of flesh which burst out from the innocent girl’s body started take on the shape.... Or more exactly it took on countless "shapes".
A faces of young.
A faces of old.
A faces of children.
A faces of adults.
A faces of elderly.
A faces of males.
A faces of females.
Countless different faces, each with distributism face appeared.
Some were sad.
Some were happy.
Some were confused.
Some were angry.
Some were just.... Staring blanky.
Countless faces with countless expressions had formed.... But they formed something else as well.
These "faces" took on the form of a massive humanoid head, which had its surface covered with those "faces".
And this "head" resembles somewhat the face of the young girl from before.
Alongside that massive head, a set of two massive hands also sprouted out from the pile of flesh.
Arms of many.
Arms of young.
Arms of old.
They formed and combined, creating these two massive arms.
"..."
"Fuck me.... What in the bloody hell is this thing?" – said Wretch as the massive pile of flesh with a head and two arms was towering over everybody.
"..."
"So... Did you pissed her off or something?" – asked Rampage.
"Nope.... I bloody didn’t." – said GreyHunt as he turned back on auto translation.
"She asked if we were humans and if she could have our flesh."
"So yeah.... I think she is fucked up in head."
"Give it to me! THE FLESH! THE JOY!" – shouted the creature while speaking in Italian as it launched one of its massive fleshy arms at the group, causing everybody to quickly leap away from their location and dodge the massive attack.
"Hey! Can’t we talk this out mate?!" – asked GreyHunt as he turned off the auto translation and started speaking Italian once again.
"We don’t want to fight!"
"GIVE ME THE JOY! GIVE ME THE FLESH! – shouted the massive flesh creature as laughed maniacally and completely ignored GreyHunt question.
The creature repeated its words nonstop, like some sort of broken machine, while it tried grabbing GreyHunt, only for him to instantly merge with the shadow and dodge the attack.
"...Nope. There is no use talking with her." – said GreyHunt as he reemerged from the shadows while once again using auto translator.
"She is really dead set on having our flesh!"
"Well then! I will fucking have it!" – shouted Rampage as she rushed in.
[Blood Master Paladin] skill.
[Blood Blade: Rupturing Strike]
Rampage thrusted her lance forward and stabbed the creature in one of its arms, before moments later a massive point-blank explosion of blood occurred at the top of the weapon, which ended up ripping apart good chunk of the flesh off the creature.
"!?"
"YOU DAMN THIEF! GIVE IT BACK!" – shouted the creature as it swung its other massive arm at the Rampage, smacking her and pushing her away.
But the vampire easily endured the hit after being smacked by standing her ground with her shield.
"Huh? Is that bloody it?" – said Rampage.
(I thought she would be bit stronger?) – thought confused vampire as the giant swung its fist once again, but was blocked by the vampire shield once again.
Right after words, Wretch rushed in alongside Howl and landed a series of devastating attacks which tore off chunks of the massive body.
Oron and GreyHunt fallowed up by unleashing a barrage of explosive bolts and bullets, which were able to deal some critical amount of damage to the creature head.
Ampi, Shri and Lil summoned their own monsters and instantly unleashed the horde at the somewhat still stable looking arms... But not for long as the rampaging monsters just began tearing the arm apart.
"..."
"Okay. This is going way too easy." – said GreyHunt as the giant flesh creature had already a huge amount of its body ripped off.
"Yeah... At this rate we will quickly finish off the fight." – said Oron who was distrustful of the whole thing.
"NO! NO! NO!" – shouted the creature in Italian.
"IT IS MINE!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"IT IS ALL MINE!"
"MY JOY!"
The creature body began undergoing a powerful regeneration as the holes in the arms and in the head with missing chunks of flesh started being replenished.
"Oh... Okay. I guess it has rapid regeneration thing." – said Oron.
"If this is all, then there is nothing to worry about." – said GreyHunt.
"You heard you fuckers?!"
"BOMBARD THAT BITCH!"
The creature’s body was undergoing a rapid regeneration, quickly trying to restore its damaged body.... However, it wasn’t able to keep up with the sheer volume of damage it was receiving nonstop from the attackers.
The creature obviously didn’t stood and just let itself get hit either.
It swung its fists around.... But Wretch and Rampage were too much for it as the vampire and death knights were able to easily endure the hits.
Not only that, but the group was receiving buffs from the mages, alongside the debuffs on the boss monster.
The creature obvious resisted a weak curses extremely easily.... However, Ampi and Swim had debuffs powerful enough to affect the creature.
"[Sea Warden: Prison]." – Swim created a water shark which jumped from the ground and bit into the giant face, before then transforming into the chains that were attached to the spots where the sharks came from.
"[Gunman Of Hell]!" – GreyHunt right after instantly unlashed his ultimate, creating a coil of demonic energy around his guns and arms, before then unleashing a hell of demonic bullets at the creature, bombarding and ripping apart its jaw.
The creature was losing more and more of its body.... And what it appears to be a form of desperation, the creature unleashed a shriek which straight up shattered the ground around it as well as sent several monster covering its arm flying, while also stunning all of them.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" – however, Rampage alongside Howl and Wretch were completely unaffected by either knockback or stun effect, as both men fallowed the vampire assault and smacked the creature with series of utlimates.
The creature entire face was at this point just half destroyed... Or to be more exact, it reached a point where more than half of its face was destroyed as the group continued their nonstop assault.
"?!"
"Hey! Is it me is that thing regenerating much faster now?!" – said Wretch.
"Probably its berserker type regeneration! Less HP means bigger regen!" – replied Howl.
"EITHER WAY! FUCK IT AND JUST RIP IT APART!" – shouted Howl as the entire Purple Hyena guild did not shown any shred of mercy towards the creature.
"JOY! THIEF! JOY! THIEF! JOY! THIEF!" – the creature trashed around while repeating itself like a broken machine, just repeating 2 different words nonstop.... However, even in its desperation as it trashed around, it was not able to do anything... It was just being destroyed.
The once massive mountain of flesh was quickly being downgrade nonstop.... Until less that total of 25% the body was left.... Then 20%... 15%.... 10%.... 5%....
1%
"..."
"Huh... Is this really it?" – said Rampage as she stood on top of what appears to the doll’s original broken body, which was surrounded by a bunch of wiggling flesh.
"Thief. Joy. Thief. Joy. Thief. Joy. Thief. Joy. Thief. Joy." – the faint voice came from the flesh which was leaking out of the cracked head of the doll.
"....Before you ask, she is repeating the same thing over and over." – said GreyHunt.
"The same thing was during the battle, she was always screaming the same stuff."
"Not about the same thing, but the same lines, like some sort of broken recorder."
(Anyway, it seems that her gimmick was that bullshit regeneration powers of hers.) – thought GreyHunt.
(She did had some solid blows, which did sometimes sent our two tanks flying... And it also had some sort of stun that affected everybody in the room... But those 3 fuckers have extremely high residence to the restriction type effects that the stuns can only really be downgraded to a slow at very least.)
(Wow.... We really came here with the boss natural counter without knowing?)
(I mean, each time we fought a Forgotten Being, it was a freaking exhausting hell and shit.... But I guess this is the first time we had gotten lucky with that place and we had everything we needed to counter the whole gimmick of this bastard.) – thought GreyHunt as he approached the remains of the monster.
"Now listen here." – said GreyHunt as he was now speaking Italian.
"What the hell are you? Why the hell did you wanted our flesh?"
"Thief. Joy. Thief. Joy. Thief. Joy. Thief. Joy. Thief. Joy."– the monster repeated itself.
"Hey. Answer me. Who are you?" – asked GreyHunt as he pointed his gun right next to the doll’s head.... But even so, the creature did not reacted and just continued repeating its words nonstop.
"..."
"What is your name?" – asked GreyHunt.... But he was ignored.
"Who made you?" – asked GreyHunt.... But he was ignored.
"..."
*Sigh*
(Yeb... It is broken.) – thought GreyHunt.
(Can it no longer function normally after we broke it?)
(Nah.... At one point it just started only saying "thief and joy" shit over and over again... I guess whatever chances at speaking we had with that thing was when it was still in its humanoid form.)
"..."
(I guess we can try reviving her afterwords with that method and maybe trying to obtain some info out of here.)
(Still....)
"What the hell are you?" – said GreyHunt in Italian.
"Some sort of fucked up version of Pinocchio?" – said GreyHunt to himself as he continued examine the remains of the creature, trying to obtain some information before the creature dies.
(Honestly from what I saw, that thing was trying to be a "human".) – thought GreyHunt.
(It also called itself "Human".... A toy that wanted to be a human... That sounds like freaking Pinocchio story.... All thought, Pinocchio wasn’t some sort of grotesque mass of flesh which just wants to harbor more and more flesh to become more "human".)
"..."
"Pi....No....Chhio...." – said the monster.
"!?"
(It reacted?!) – thought GreyHunt.
"Pinocchio! Do you know Pinocchio?!" – asked GreyHunt as the creature started repeating the name.
"...."
"Fa....Ther...." – said the creature as the flesh stopped moving.
