Chapter 17.5: A Boy?

A house laid in ruins as it had been destroyed by a man made for the act of destruction. That man laid waste in the middle of those ruins.

*wheeze*

Eren couldn't breathe.

'Damn…brats!'

*cracks*

He lifted his arm up and let it fall onto him. His normal appearance was returned as he took a deep breath of the sweet air around him. It was no longer filled with the taste of blood and death.

"I'll kill them if I ever get the chance."

He stretched his arms and cracked his fingers all in one movement. Just by putting out his arms.

'Some organs may take some time to heal but a human or two should help with that.'

He started to walk away in an odd manner as if he had enjoyed the pain he endured. He came to a halt however. Dead in his tracks he turned and threw a sharp object at someone. Eren looked at the person and he turned his sharp object into mush as it hit them.

"You think you're hidden with an Aspect like that?"

Eren asked as he looked at what appeared to be a young boy wearing a blue kitsune mask. The boy raises his finger towards Eren. His body felt restrained, not being able to move a muscle.

"What did you put on my mask!"

The boy said those words slowly as held Eren in place with what seemed to be nothing.

"If I said it was poison, what would you do about it?"

"I came here to kill you…"

The boy let go of Eren as he put his finger down.

"But it'd be no fun, you're awfully weak for being listed so high. We thought you would have obtained your 3rd state Shiryoku by now. Instead you lost to a girl who couldn't even control herself. So for now I'll say you got away, and until you show promise. I'll kill you then, unless you meet another one of us before that I can't say they'll be so merciful."

Eren was filled with rage. Never before has someone looked down on him as if he was an ant compared to a bear.

"I'll show you weak!"

Eren dashed at the boy as he felt himself being swallowed by a bear. The stomach that had already consumed too many, ready for a full hibernation for the next hundred years.

'I have an opening!'

Eren was right in front of the boy as he was about to make contact with the boy's mask.

"Bang"

The boy said those words with his hand making a gun sign putting it on Eren's chest.

*CRASH*

With just the touch of the finger the boy sent Eren flying through buildings, homes, and much more. Woman and children cried and screamed in terror.

"Oh the screams I am causing…"

The boy looked up as his smile showed just a little.

"I'm simply in love with it!"
