Traitor Of Humanity 24 Kitty Asks For Directions!

Or so kitty was thinking such pointless things while running around in the burning mansion, searching for a certain human girl.

Kitty looked so cool when kitty left the stupid master. Kitty can't fail! If kitty fails, kitty will lose face...

But kitty does not know where that human girl is...

Kitty stopped in place. At this rate, kitty will just wander all over the mansion and get lost and tired again. Kitty does not want that to happen...

What was it that the stupid master used to say in the past?

Kitty thinks back...

In kitty's mind, a stupid master with an older and different face, but is actually the same stupid master, appeared. He was talking to a depressed little kitty.

A light bulb appeared above kitty's head. Kitty remembers now. What the stupid master said was...

"If you get lost, ask for directions..."

BANG

"Where is the human girl!?"

"Monster Cat!!" The human soldier screamed when kitty slammed him against a wall. He screamed right into kitty's threatening face.

SMACK!

Kitty smacked the stupid human with kitty's paw. How dare this stupid human call this handsome and lovable kitty a monster cat!

A kitty paw print appeared on the stupid human's swelling right cheek.

"Where is the human girl!? Stupid human, answer kitty! It is very hot in this burning house! Kitty's fur is getting dry! Kitty's tail is on fire! If stupid human does not quickly answer kitty, kitty will turn the stupid human into Makizus.h.i.+, Temaki, and Nigiri~! (Various forms of sus.h.i.+)" Said kitty as kitty shook the stupid human's collar.

The soldier from the Amnon family was terrified. When he was carrying out his order, searching for any items of value to carry away, this monster cat suddenly appeared before his face, slammed him into a wall, and started yelling at him. Its eyes were bloodshot and its spit was flying. This was the scariest looking cat he's ever seen.

Even worse was that this monster cat's strength was ridiculous.

The soldier could not resist at all. A smack to his cheek broke through the side of his helmet and knocked his teeth flying out.

He tried running around to throw off the monster cat, but was unable to. Instead, the monster cat started shaking his s.h.i.+rt's collar so forcefully, that in no time, he felt like hurling.

It was also saying something incomprehensible.

"Guys! Save me!" The soldier tried calling for help as he attempted to pry off the monster cat with his hands. Unfortunately, it was as if the thing was glued onto him. He could not move it at all.

He tried stabbing at it with his sword... It felt like stabbing at a rock, hard as h.e.l.l.

"Save you? From what?" His comrades who appeared, asked while frowning.

"From this monster cat!" The soldier pointed to the spot before his face.

"What monster cat? Have you gone delirious from the smoke? Quickly finish the mission so we can get out of here." Having said that, his comrades left. It really was suffocating in here. It can also be predicted that before long, this mansion will start crumbling. If they do not finish their mission quickly, there is a chance that they would be buried along with the rubble. Thus, these guy do not have the time to entertain their delirious comrade.

Another paw struck the soldier's left cheek, causing it to swell. The soldier felt like crying. He has never experienced abuse by a small animal before.

"Don't waste kitty's time! Tell kitty! Where is the human girl!?"

"What human girl!?" The soldier screamed. How many human girls are there on this earth? Which human girl is this monster cat talking about?

"The human girl is the human girl! I-rin... I-ron? I... Something like that! Kitty forgot! Kitty was asleep most of the time when the stupid master was talking with that human girl!" Kitty continued shaking the stupid human male's collar. Why won't this stupid human male give kitty the answer that kitty wants!?

"I-I don't know!!" If it weren't for the heat drying up his tear ducts, the soldier really would have started crying. "If it's the females from the Bilin family that you want, then they're probably in the bas.e.m.e.nt! That's where people usually hide when there's a disaster..."

Kitty hopped down from the stupid human's head. "You should have said that sooner. Wasted a lot of kitty's saliva..." Having gotten directions, kitty scurried away to find the human girl.

When the monster cat was finally out of his sight, the soldier from the Amnon family howled. "When I get out of here, I am going to slay some cats!!"

CHOP

Before the soldier knew it, a cleaver had flown through the air and chopped through his skull.

The soldier fell to the heated floor, a look of incomprehension on his face. Eventually, his body would be engulfed by the flames.

…

SLASH

Throm Bilin cut down another soldier of the Amnon family.

Then, he groaned and gasped for air. The injury that he suffered from Merab Zefer still hadn't completely healed yet, as injuries to the organs are usually slow to heal. For that reason, he was also placed in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Bilin family mansion to wait out this disaster. Unfortunately, they never expected their enemies to set fire to the place and successfully invade it.

"Husband..." His wife worriedly called him as she grabbed hold of his shoulder, helping to prop him up.

"Don't worry." He a.s.sured. "We have more than enough men on our side. The situation will soon fall under control. We just have to get out of here now. Cough!"

The smoke getting into the bas.e.m.e.nt seriously isn't doing any good for his injuries, nor for the children that are hiding here.

The pa.s.sage to the bas.e.m.e.nt had already been forced open by their enemies, and those enemies are charging down one by one.

In these narrow corridors, it would be difficult for Throm to use the bow he specializes in. Thus, he opted for a sword, even if it wasn't his most used weapon.

Luckily, the enemies he's met so far have all been weaker than even the weakened him, and have only been charging at him a few at a time.

"But it looks like my luck's run out." Throm's facial expression turned gloomy.

Walking down the lit pa.s.sageway, is an old man with a merciless glint in his eyes. Following him is a pack of blood-thirsty soldiers. All their weapons were painted red with blood.

The people hiding in the bas.e.m.e.nt with Throm were the members of the Bilin family that were incapable of fighting, being woman and children. None of them have died yet. Thus, the blood on those soldiers' weapons must have been from killing the servants that were on the floors above.

Whether all those servants were killed, or some of them got away, Throm didn't care. All he cared about now was how to find a way to let his relatives escape.

"Continue running that way. I'll hold him off." Their mansion's bas.e.m.e.nt consisted of several rooms, and several pa.s.sageways leading to the 1st floor.

Right now, the head of the Amnon family, Karlan Amnon, has blocked off direction. The other however, is still open.

"Husband, I'll stay with you..."

"Daddy..."

"Rain, we can't let Irene die here. Or worse, get captured... Take her and the other kids away." Throm took one last look at his wife and his youngest daughter.

Biting her lips, his wife nodded. With one final glimpse at her husband, she turned around and did as he told her. She knew this would be the last time she would ever see this back of his.

"You think they will get away?" Karlan sneered. "Soldiers, after them!"

"Over my dead body!" Throm threw himself at them, with little regard for his own life. He chopped down one soldier after another. Suddenly, he felt a premonition of death.

He raised his sword to block.

CLANG!

The blow he felt was heavy, causing him to fall backwards. His wound prevented him from keeping steady, as he tumbled onto the ground.

"Hmph. You're weak. Ignore him and go after the women."

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers obeyed, as they ran past the fallen Throm.

Throm forced himself to stand. He desperately chased after the soldiers going after the escapees.

But before he could cut down even one of them, that premonition of death appear again, this time much more intense.

"I'm dead." At this moment, this is what he thought. He felt full of regret.

If only he were stronger, he wouldn't have been wounded by Merab Zefer and become this weak. If only he had sent his daughter away before today, then she wouldn't be doomed here. If only his family hadn't been forced to work with those bandits, then the Amnon and Zefer families probably wouldn't have gone so far as this. If only...

"Gah!" Throm felt something strike his side, causing him to suddenly fly to his left.

The fatal slash from Karlan Amnon completely missed.

"Huh?" Karlan Amnon was confused. He thought for sure that he would catch his prey, but his prey suddenly dodged in a weird way?

He could tell that his opponent, Throm Bilin, was injured. There should have been no way that he could have dodge a full-speed slash from a peak heroic bearings stage expert.

Still, Karlan Amnon didn't wallow in his confusion. He directly slashed again. This time, he used a diagonal slash that couldn't be dodged so easily.

Yet, Throm suddenly flew into the air, dodging the slash, and falling towards the soldiers that were chasing after the women.

It really did look like he was picked up by something and tossed.

Kitty looked at the flying human, who after landing over there, had started cutting down soldiers in a frenzy. That human had a confused look on his face when kitty tossed him, but it looks like he knew what was important, as after landing, he immediately switched to human-killing-human mode.

Kitty sighed. Kitty was looking at the back of a little girl who was running away. "Kitty has to put forth so much more effort when there are witnesses around. Human girl, quickly leave. Then, kitty can start slaughtering everyone." Kitty said as kitty waved around his greatsword.

Kitty is really smart. The fact that the stupid master wants to save that human girl means that he want to keep her, and usually, the stupid master does not want kitty being known by those human girls that he keeps. Thus, kitty has to be covert...

Karlan Amnon scanned with his eyes. His instincts told him that there was something here, something that he did not notice, or cannot see...

However, since he couldn't find anything even after half a minute, he ignored it and went after Throm Bilin once again.

Just as he was about to hack into the man's back, he heard a yell.

"STOP!!!"

From the other end of the pa.s.sageway, another old man appeared. This old man, who had just arrived, is the head of the Bilin family, Rook Bilin!
