Lewd Worm Cyoa Chapter 48 (Patreon)

Hiro Nakiri was the target of this bounty hunt and after doing some more research in the area surrounding Kyoto I realized this was a bit more troublesome then I thought this was going to be.

It was actually a major pain in the ass to find him as we spent hours looking for some kind of warded place but in reality... Hiro was going incognito and except for wearing some kind of anti-scrying stuff he was staying out of the supernatural eye.

But just because he was staying out of the supernatural eye, that didn't mean his presence couldn't be found as we found the jackpot and a tragedy waiting to happen.

As Hiro had decided to break the veil of the supernatural and had taken in a gang of delinquents and actually fucking used the blood of the Youkai he had been sadistically hunting to give the delinquents always active mana like a trained mage would normally have.

Which meant... That we couldn't just hypnotize the gangsters to wipe their memories and already as I snatched one of the gangsters off the streets and began questioning him. He was telling us how Hiro was using charms and enchanted equipment to bolster his gangsters to use them as shock troops as he attacked Youkai homes.

Not Youkai like living in the middle of nowhere who terrorized some towns for sick kicks or anything. No he was literally breaking into subdivision homes housing simple Youkai who lived among humans and with enchanted blades and guns that may have even come from the Vatican killed the Youkai and their families.

"Alright... So we got the guys location. But what do we do about these gangsters?" I muttered before shaking my head with a sigh as it really wasn't in my wheel house. If anything I should just bring it up to whoever I deliver Hiro to in the Youkai faction.

But Mami pointed out. "And if they still go along with Youkai hunts to try to make their mana more powerful?"

I gave the unconscious gangster a look before shrugging and exhaling with my only response being. "Then that's for future me to worry about. If they get out of hand, either myself or others will deal with them when they inevitably get put on the bounty boards."

Anyway with the location of the gang hideout which was the last know location of Hiro Nakiri we quickly teleported away towards that location using a Sitri teleportation glyph and once we arrived at the once abandoned factory I grimaced as I could all but smell the blood and despair filling the surroundings with Mami even shuddering.

"Ok... Maybe killing them all is for the best." I muttered as I swallowed down some bile as this whole location. Just made me feel ill honestly. It wasn't like I was a devil walking on Hallowed Ground or something. No this was place had just been tainted by the amount of blood split and the suffering that was felt here for a good while.

'Really makes me wonder why no one else came here to deal with him if it was this obvious?' I thought as a couple of Hiro's gangster's wielding short swords that glowed ever so slightly with holy light yelled.

"Tell Lord Hiro that another bounty hunter teleported in!" He yelled to a younger guy who had an obscenely tall and spiky mohawk who ran into the factory building.

"Full lethal Mami." I spoke coldly and I could feel Mami throwing a look at me but I didn't explain yet as I conjured up a dozen spikes of ice and then banished them into the charging gangsters who closed in on us at inhuman speeds.

Each of the gangsters cried out as they valiantly tried to block the ice spikes shooting for their vitals but their swords could only block two or three for one of them... The rest of the large ice spikes rammed home into their chests and stomach with the large spikes protruding through their back but they didnt stop.

'As I thought... That fucking dumbass is getting into Sacrificial Magic. These guys are patently superhuman but they are a ticking time bomb as their bodies can't absorb or maintain the foreign Yokai power and blood forced into them!' I thought with utter disgust.

Seriously... I could see the cursed purple pulsating heart of the gangster literally spiked onto the end of one of the spikes going through the gangster's chest and the gangster was still able to charge at me after getting his feet back under himself after taking the kinetic impact of the spikes slamming into him.

A loud double crack rang out as Mami's conjured magical rifles went off and the two gangsters' heads exploded into purple mist with Mami saying bluntly. "I see... So they aren't even human now are they?"

I didn't correct her. As these people were already dead as all my magical knowledge and my gifts for magic were all but screaming that magic and power weren't free. There was always a cost involved and they had gotten powerful bodies and some kind of youkai brand of touki by wasting all their lifespan and once that Youkai energy ran out?

"Come on." I spoke with a frown as we made our way into the facility and we quickly dealt with any mad blood-crazed gangsters lethally and with no mercy until we reached the basement of the facility.

Cages... Cages lined the tall walls of the large obviously magically expanded basement and I felt bile fill my mouth as I quickly realized Hiro was fucking insane beyond his hate of the Youkai.

And as I looked into the tiny cages I saw that a good number of the cages were filled... Filled with youkai in their monstrous forms or were in human forms with many of them being women and children with not many men being in the cages.

"Yes! You saw my genius haven't you!" A voice reached us and my eyebrow twitched as I heard a German like tinge to his voice for reason and I looked across the long factory and saw our target.

Hiro Nakiri was... A ratty-looking teenager, he had dark hair with equal black eyes and besides his rather bland appearance, I noticed what he was wearing.

"Why the fuck are you wearing an SS uniform?" I demanded incredulously.

But in response, he snapped his fingers and a series of loud meaty thudding rang out as from the back side of the large factory from behind a curtain came four massive monsters. No... They were more humans but had been twisted into something that could only be called Lovecraftian as their limbs were entirely too long and their chests were seemingly hollowed out with their ribs opening and closing like a bloody mouth with the sharpened ribs looking like piercing teeth!

"Look upon my creations! They were made from the last bounty hunters who didn't see my vision! A world cleansed of the filth of humanity's nightmares!" He then dramatically pointed at me and spoke out with that weird-as-hell German-tinged tone.

"Come! Join in the cleansing of evil that covers this world! I will give you the power you could never have in your mortal form Haha!" He finished with a mad cackle.

I gave Mami a quick look as she looked at the man with cold eyes and I said quietly. "Remember, don't kill him... And we need to set the people in these cages free."
