Sneaking past the rest of her group, Moriyana was off on her way to see to her own plans. The cities of Lamenia, while not as exciting as back in Laria, were still curious enough for her to wanna explore them and find more sources to gain power.
'He's on his path to surpass the mistress…' Walking down from one dark crevice in the city to another, her mind was consumed with conniving thoughts. Being bound to her master by the soul was one thing, but to abandon her own ambition because of it wasn't even an option. 'But with the increasing amount of lust demons recently, she must very well be on her way to a full recovery.'
The very thought gave her chills.
"Oi oi oi, missy," breaking her chain of thoughts, a brutish young man followed by his two underlings walked up before Moriyana. "What the hell are you doing here? Did the boss send you as the prize for the last job?"
Hunched over with his hand deep into his pockets, the leader of the group snickered like a horse. Following him even there, the fat and tall brute was the first to join, and then seeing how both of them were laughing, the man as short as a dwarf joined the snickering as well.
Scanning the three with her eyes, Moriyana quickly began assessing their attributes. The leader who was tall yet slim was obviously not fit to fight, and given the state of the dwarf he was one kick away from turning into a ball. Which only left the fat guy with the long white mustache, but for Moriyana he wasn't much to fear either.
"Say, why don't you and I shoot up some really nice stuff and have some fun together?" His tongue sticking out just like his pouring lust, the leader slowly extended his hand towards Moriyana to get a quick touch of her soft skin.
"Your boss…" Shooting his hand down with a slap, she made him wince in pain. "Well he's not quite happy with you three slacking off, so he's replacing you all."
"What?!" Caressing his hurt hand, the leader stared at her in shock.
"No way!" Yelped the fat brute.
"She's lying, right?" The last one asked, tugging on the leader's dirty white suit for an answer.
"Of course, she's lying you idiot!" Although he appeared dim-witted, the leader quickly caught onto Moriyana's lie.
'Not like it matters.' Raising her finger over the confused man, Moriyana tapped the tip of his pointy nose to initiate her usual hallucinative charm.
"Parasitic charm," She mumbled as the mana from her fingers shot right onto the group leader's brain. While the others watched the interaction in confusion, their leader's mind was being encased in Moriyana's mana.
A few seconds passed and the leader of their group stuck out his tongue and began huffing like a dog in front of the strange woman. Puzzled by what was happening, the two terrified brutes took a few steps back before turning around to run away.
"Rose whip vines!" However, before they could get far, a pair of thorny rose vines sprang out from the ground and grabbed them by their ankles.
Falling face first, the mustache guy's face was painted as red as his shirt from the broken nose. As for the dwarf, he was desperately trying to crawl away.
"Bring them here," calling out to the vines, Moriyana had them drag the two goons over to her heels.
Standing over them, her eyes shot their upward gazes down with disgust. Humans were scum in her eyes, their only use was to serve the immortal demons and be discarded away when they were no longer of use.
"I do have some use for you now, so play well or I have qualms squashing you two like a bug," with their leader already under her command, she wanted the two of them to keep their mouths shut so she could be given a proper tour of all the crimes taking place around the cities.
"No way! Leave us-" Raising her heel, Moriyana stomped it through the fat man's skull before he could utter another sentence.
Drenching in his blood, she pulled her leg back out while her eyes glared at the dwarf as a warning.
"I'll do anything! Anything! Don't kill me!" Recognizing his mistake to underestimate Moriyana, he could see his life flashing before his eyes.
"Very well then," however, instead of death, he was offered something more gruesome. Moving the bloodstained heel over to his face, Moriyana dug down on her lips, titillated by the chance of torture. "Lick it clean, and I won't kill you."
With jittery eyes, the man looked up at the devil in horror. He couldn't bring himself to open up his lips, but going against the monster towering over him would surely lead to his death. Gulping down the fear, he shifted his gaze down at the blood-soaked heels. Even now, a few drops of his friend's blood was strolling down its length before splashing over the ground. Although he'd managed to steel his heart, he turned to take one last glance at the leader, in a desperate hope for help. But watching him on all fours, huffing and puffing like a dog in front of the monstrous lady, any hope he had was utterly shattered.
With no way to get out of the mess, he turned around with his eyes closed. Not giving himself a moment to think about it, he stuck out his tongue and moved his face closer to where the heels had been. He had hoped that not being able to see what he was doing would make the act much less gruesome and humiliating, but in reality, it made him feel even more disgusted.
"Stop!" Right as the man was about to lick her heels, Moriyana pulled away from his tongue.
Relieved like never before, the brute's body flopped from the emotional strain that he'd just been through.
"Th-thanks…" He muttered, not realizing a more grueling fate was waiting for him.
"I changed my mind, I only need a single tour guide for the trip," upon hearing those words, the man quickly looked up at the woman. Looking down at him with a wide smile, Moriyana seemed delighted by the false hope she'd given him.
"Goodnight." She said, kicking the heel in through his eye.
