Dripping blood, he stepped out of the beast’s stomach.
The soldiers all backed away from this man who was gripping his red sword.
He was no longer human.
His breath was nonexistent. The hot blood that coated his skin was thick with the scent of iron.
At last, the man dropped his sword and dropped to the ground exhausted.
“How did he make it out…? We all saw him swallowed by the beast.”
“That crazy fool must have cut his way out of the beast’s belly!”
“Impossible!”
The sound of bubbling acid made all the soldiers sweat.
The sword was melting from the blood of beast.
Nervously, the soldiers looked at the man covered in blood.
He was crying out in pain as the acid was finally melting him.
A solider rushed over to help but was stopped by the others.
“Don’t touch him unless you want to lose your hands!”
“But he saved us all!”
“No matter! Let’s leave this place. We’ll bury him if we are lucky to leave this damn Black Forest!!!”
The soldiers all scattered around in hopes of escaping the forest.
Alone, the blood drenched man cried silently.
He was prepared to lose his life.
However, a cloaked figure approached him and extended a spear.
“Your hatred is keeping you alive human… any other man would have been long dead… you have killed my beloved pet and now I will make you suffer by giving you the skin off his back!”
At that hour, at that minute the soldiers all heard an ear piercing scream and dared not to look back.
It was the sound of torture.
A beast had been born.
