The Dreamer's POV

Chapter 155: A Minion's POV

[Moments Before]Shadow was a Minion of Mikey Rael, whom it regarded as it's lord and master.

As a loyal minion, it had only one duty... to obey any order its master gave.

This time, it was not going to be any different.

The order given was quite complicated, bit something any mere subordinate could perform.

However, since it was somewhat intelligent—though not as intelligent as its master—Shadow felt it could achieve it.

"Locate the woman controlling the monsters in the city. She should be somewhere close by since that's probably a requirement for using her Skill. I'm not certain, though. Make sure you check the areas that surround the city, especially high vantage points."

Those were the orders that its master gave.

As a Shadow, it could stealthily blend with its surroundings, and it also had great skill in scouting.

Even when it was still alive, it was the leader of an entire regiment of Shadows.

That's right! He was an elite Shadow.

Not only was its task to find the woman that its master was

As a minion, it had the duty to cheer for its master no matter what.

He heard the woman growl, and then her brows furrowing and her lips curling down to form an immense frown.

At this point, Shadow could tell that the lady was immensely pissed.

What exactly was its master doing?

~Shadow, it's time...~

Just as Shadow thought of its master, it heard his magnificent voice in its head.

'A-ah! I see...' It prepared itself for what would come next.

~You know what to do, don't you?~

Shadow nodded obediently.

It was finally time to fulfil the second command it was given.

Though, this one involved less of it, and more of the two Carnage Beasts that were now slowly approaching the target.

~... Devour her!~

"ROOOAAARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHH!!!"

At this point, it was like all hell broke loose.

Shadow could hear the wild roars of the Carnage Beasts as they rushed from their hidden position and lunged at the prey.

"W-what are Demons doing he—?!"

Shadow heard the guard bellow in shock. While the human wasn't one of their targets, there was an additional clause to the command that their master gave them.

Anyone who stood in their way... had to be eliminated!

~SQUELCH!~

The blood of the guard sprayed all over the woman as it died a painful death, screaming a name in sheer agony.

"M-Miss Sasha! Save me! Save meeeeee!!!"

It's screaming head ended up getting crushed by the massive jaw of one of the Carnage Beasts as a crunching sound permeated the hill.

"U-uh...?"

Whether it was due to the warm feeling of blood on her body, or the screams of the dead guard, the woman slowly stirred to life.

Shadow watched in anticipation as she opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by two Carnage Beasts who had blood dripping from their sharp fangs.

Their errant growls made even Shadow tremble as he watched how horrified her expression became.

"N-no! Stay away! Stay away from me! Stay back! S-stay ba—"

Her screams were cut short by the Carnage Beasts devouring her, feasting on her lush hair, her succulent brown skin, and her juicy innards.

Blood gushed out as they enjoyed the pleasant meal they were blessed with by their master.

Shadow couldn't help but smile in satisfaction at a job well done.

'Master... will be pleased.'
