9 Chapter 9: Avatar

In the morning, I woke up early and made it to the village elder's house. I proceeded to transform into a goblin king and roar really loud. Startled, villagers begun to scram out of their houses trying to make sense of what was going on. When they came out, they only found a scrawny beautiful girl; me. "You know, considering only some of you are evil, maybe it would have been better if I didn't kill all of you. But I suppose it's fate. After all, you never stopped them, or helped the twin."

"What is she talking about?" Some of them laughed, thinking this all to be a big joke.

"Wh-what are you doing Claudia?" The village elder's son asked. "Are you alright?"

I tried looking out for dangerous people here, people who could harm me. But my Minimap never registered these guys as enemies. Could it be… could it be that most humans were weaker than goblins?

"I'm fine. Thanks for the meal. But considering how you raped my mother, I can't really let you go either. I'm both Emilia and Elmond by the way, if anyone was curious." Some of their faces went pale, others just assumed I was still joking. That said, my body warped to that of a King Goblin. "This'll be fun." I could now purposefully talk even in this form thanks to my partial transformations!

"AHHH!!!" Some people screamed, some people just stood there, dazed.

I started off by stomping the bystanders who watched everything happen but never said or did a thing. I stomped and squashed them one by one, especially the ones who tried to run. I made sure to leave the actual rapists alive though. I had something special for them.

There were about five hundred or so villagers but they didn't even last ten minutes; some I crushed, others, squashed, some I even tossed around like that monkey titan. Most were just dead at this point; some, barely hanging on with no one coming to save them. I was being careful for nothing. Rather anticlimactic honestly. I'd saved Jarme and his friends, and even his father who had a big hand in all this crap. I grabbed and took all of them with me to the other end of the village where there were still some people left alive.

"Wh-why do this?" Jarme managed. "Di-did they set you up for this? For revenge?"

"So this is how it's going to go, I'll cut all of your dicks off and shove it down your assess but you'll still try to fuck each other. Stop and your heads will roll."

Their faces weren't just pale. They were beyond devasted. Now, obviously I wasn't going to do something so evil. I was merely going to chop them off and watch them writhe.

Swing!

Wow, I could actually use axes and stuff with even less effort than usual. Guess the combat skills from last night came in handy.

"ARGHHH!!!" the first one danced around on the ground.

The second one danced with the wind and bled.

There were five of them and they were having quite the fun writhing and leaking.

Jarme too, he loved pumping the ground with his leaking d- almost reminded me of my own bleeding dick.

This was fun… sort of. I squashed the village elder and then proceeded to squash every single one of them. I transformed into a slime and gradually absorbed the whole village. I was big and the village was small, so didn't take that much time. By the time I was done, there was nothing left but a patch of grassless coarse ground.

I got a lot of skills from it; swordsmanship (beginner), jewelry crafting, smelting, blacksmithing, farming, gardening, bargaining, marketing, ethereal command etc. I even gained a level but frankly, I didn't care about that. This felt great and I wanted to do this again!

Didn't I have more fun screwing goblins though? Plus, it was so damn exiting when your prey actually fought back!

Oh yeah, I got some magic too. Just basic elemental stuff like fireball and water booba- I mean, ball.

[Received 1 Mana elixir, 2 health potions.]

Now you're giving me health potions? Absorbing all these people also gave me access to their memories and I didn't regret what I did. Most of these morons knew what they did. They knew how those twins suffered. And they not only allowed the tragedy to happen, they also folded under pressure.

What pressure?

Well, I didn't recognize the guard and although I thought he was just hired help at first, that wasn't true. He was a different breed of help. The village elder already had plans to replace Elmond's father since the guy was getting old. But the man was still doing a decent job, so he couldn't just be retired. So, when a lucky break hit Elmond's father (lucky for the elder) the elder quickly used the opportunity to screw Elmond's father for real by not providing adequate treatment. Elmond's mother had tried and begged the village doctor to come help but under the orders of the village elder, he didn't. Meanwhile, Jarme liked Emilia but he also had his eyes on Emilia's mother for a while and then shit happened…. Granted quite a few people of the village were innocent and had no idea, especially the children. But… I didn't regret what I did. Heck, I might have even enjoyed it a bit too much.

Where the hell is this hate even coming from? The skill?

Bestiary: Affirmative.

Does this mean I can destroy everything if I want to?

Bestiary: If you want to, yes. Though I'd suspect the others might stand in your way.

Others? There are others like me?

Bestiary: You thought you are the only one?

Fair enough. Of course, there'd be more. It's not like I'm special anyway. I shrugged, and used mimicry to try out a new body. This time, I got a male body with some muscles and decent height. Just like I always wanted… sigh.

Bestiary: You seem disappointed.

I am. Feels… cheap.

I imagined a scrawnier body but I was back to my female form. Appearance wise I was probably closer to a seventeen-year-old from my own world. In this one, fifteen maybe?

 If I was going to have a muscular toned build, I was going to make it myself. Otherwise, there's no point. But why was I defaulting to a girl's body? I again tried and this time with that of a handsome boy in mind… didn't work. I had a habit of rocking female avatars in game, so it didn't really bother me that much. Besides, unlike normal women, this body didn't come with major disadvantages, so it was probably fine. I kind of liked muscular women anyway.

I was an avid gamer. But I wasn't a cheater; if I was going to get a muscular build, I was going to build it myself otherwise I wouldn't be able to deal with this cheap ass feeling. Wait, wasn't absorbing everything a cheat though? Nope. That doesn't count! It was my ability!

Yeah, I loved being hypocritical.

I'd absorbed everyone here, even traveling merchants and adventurers and all that stuff. So, I knew where this place was and I knew where I wanted to go. hmm… for a second there I could have sworn the Bestiary sulked. Probably just my imagination.

There were some other villages nearby and even some dungeons. But my target was the dungeon of Aile. And just next to the dungeon a city known for its flying dragons; Drokunm. I didn't really have much reason to visit there other than the fact that there were some busty elves dark there.

The journey was going to take several days but I could probably just make it in less than a single day if I put my mind to it.
