A God's Apocalyptic Entertainment 65 Facade

"[email protected][email protected]#!!!"

The male elf lying in front of me screamed one more time before becoming quiet.

I stared intently as the life left his body and his movement stopped. Watching him quietly for a few seconds I finally raised my eyes to look at Kuro. She had a shocked look on her face, and it turned awkward as she saw my look.

"Why?"

I questioned her as the blood on my weapon dripped to the ground. She seemed startled at the sudden question and her mouth flapped open a few times.

"Why shouldn't I kill them?"

I asked again as she was taking too much time. Finally finding some words she looked from left to right, trying to think of a proper reason.

"We could have spoken to them!"

Finally finding a reason her voice raised loud as she shouted out. I could only tilt my head at her logic.

"Why would I talk to them?"

"To find out information."

I was slightly speechless at where she was trying to go with this. Seeing me like this, she continued to talk, trying to convince me, or maybe herself.

"They could have a settlement, or need our help. We could have found out about their culture and other such information."

"Stop."

I put my hand up to stop her from continuing, where was this nonsense coming from?

"Can you speak their language?"

She finally stopped and had a pensive look on her face, as she heard my question. After being silent for a few seconds she finally shook her head.

"No."

I continued to press her.

"Did they not attack us first?"

"Yes."

"Would they have killed both you and me, if I did not take them down!?"

I was starting to get angry and was shouting by this point. I don't know why I wanted to get the point across to her so much, maybe it was her stupidity at the subject that had p.i.s.sed me off. She could tell that I was getting angry and her voice started to get smaller.

"Yes."

Her face was becoming red and it seemed she was embarra.s.sed. Had she realized how stupid she sounded before?

"Did they not kill your friend!?"

I stared at her hard at my final question. This was a more pressing point, looking at her, she didn't even seem disturbed by the fact her friend had just died. Anyone else would have untold rage at the group of people that had just killed someone that was close to them.

But she wanted me to leave them?

Her eyes shifted to the side where the body of Asura was lying and I could see no emotion in her eyes. There was indifference in her eyes as she stared at his corpse. If it wasn't for her wanting to save the elves, I would label her as a psychopath.

"Yes."

Her voice came out small as her face remained the same, a thought popped into my mind as I stared at her and I deliberated on those cold eyes.

"You just don't want to see them killed?"

Kuro's eyes finally looked at the female elf that had become quiet; I was sure she had seen her brother die and knew she was next. From where I was standing I couldn't see the look on her face, she was staring in the direction of Kuro.

"You can't watch something, so much like a human killed?"

I asked her an imperceptible different question to see her reaction. Her face shifted and her voice resounded.

"Yes."

She said the words but the indifference in her eyes didn't change. They held a deeper meaning to them as she looked at the elf. I watched on from the side and wanted to peer into her thoughts.

What was she thinking?

In the end her eyes focused back onto me and they became indifferent to the elf.

She expected something from me?

That was what I could tell from her gaze. But what?

I said no more as I moved over to the female elf. Finally getting a look at her face I saw the desperation that had overwhelmed her. As she peered at me, the look on her face was terror, before determination.

"@*#^@#*"

She said something to me as she showed a smile her eyes pleading me. I stared down at the forced smile and wet eyes. She had been crying from the pain, but at the moment she was suppressing it and trying to appeal to me.

In the moment when she knew I was going to kill her, she was trying to salvage the situation and possibly reverse it at some point. Well I'm sure the thought of reversing the situation wouldn't be in her mind at this moment, but she was definitely trying to save the situation.

She didn't want me to kill her, so she was trying everything she had. The eyes that betrayed weakness, the smile that was supposed to evoke a sense of pity, thinking about it even the body language she was using was aimed to soften my heart.

Because of the beauty that I a.s.sume all elves possess, what she was doing right now would have been very effective against many a person, and especially effective against men. What threw a retch into her plan was I had seen the truth.

Almost a sort of enlightenment really, the picture that I had in my head towards elves was good until I met them. I realized at the moment when they showed utter disgust towards me and Ella that the material and all references that I had used for their species, had to be thrown out the window.

I had to go by the impression I had of them since the apocalypse to truly judge them, and it was disappointing to think that they were more human than I would like.

The deformation of their beautiful faces, which I had seen before, was forever etched into my brain. And as I looked at the elf before me trying and use her looks and all her means to not die, it instead birthed disgust towards this being.

It was an intense revile towards such actions and methods, but thinking deeper I couldn't say that I wouldn't use any measure to stay alive. I had my own goals, I don't know if I would ever lower to this level, or if I would ever have such a situation, but n.o.body could tell the future.

I would just have to get stronger, so that never happens.

Seeing me not make a move and enter a stupor, the flames of hope ignited in the female elf and she forced herself to try even harder to dissuade me.

I roused myself from my thoughts and a look of disdain couldn't help but flash onto my face as I stared down at her. The look didn't get past the elf as I could see the anger that flashed through her eyes. She tried to hide it from me, but she couldn't suppress her pride and nature.

It was easy to see through her facade.

I raised my blade and got ready to kill her. Seeing me lift the blade she tried harder and harder to please and placate me, but the look of disgust just grew.

I think she finally realized as I was about to swing down the blade that it was useless. The facade that she had been wearing dropped and the look of her face became one of humiliation, rage and disgust.

She looked in the direction of Ella that stood behind me and spat some blood on the ground.

"*@#^@*#*@#^@"

The blade that I was about to swing down stopped. I looked up at Kuro.

"This is the garbage you wanted me to spare."

I didn't look at her as a being anymore, to use a word from Ella's vocabulary I now saw her as a meal. Of course there would have been some difference if she hadn't done that at the end. But now I couldn't see her as anything else.

But I wouldn't eat her; I would stick to animals, for now.

I would leave that to Ella, of course that is if she wanted to.

"You can have her Sister."

I turned to Ella and gave her the go ahead, both in my mind and to her verbally. She looked happy that she was able to eat a living being.

I sent the Elf one last look before turning away to go and collect the globes.

The last look on the Elf's face was one of utter terror as Ella moved closer.

"@^*##^*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I wonder what spoils of war I will get.
