Chapter 24- Found Your Fat Asses
Yuuta finally—finally—felt a moment of peace. Standing like a battle-hardened war veteran amidst the charred remains of his enemies, he raised his arms and flexed proudly... even if there were no real muscles to flex and no audience to witness it besides some cracked ribcages and melted tusks.
"Look at me now," he muttered, voice laced with smugness and spit. "From dickless frog to death-dealing overlord."
His ugly frog grin stretched wide, smug and stupid, as he bounced lightly on his toes. Bits of ash crunched beneath his webbed feet, and somewhere nearby, a blackened femur cracked under his heel with a satisfying snap.
He turned and resumed his vacuuming session, the familiar whip-pop sound of XP orbs zipping into his chest like moths to a bug zapper making him feel like a treasure-hoarding gremlin. Each orb entered his body in a soft pulse of light, and each time, he nodded with a little squint of pleasure like he was sipping fine wine.
"Yeah, come to daddy. Get in there, you delicious little glowing fucks."
Yuuta reached the blood-drenched, scorched battleground—the very place where the pig army had once thought they had him cornered. He remembered the way they came swarming like pink cockroaches, oinking and grunting, armed to the teeth with clubs and steel and enough stench to kill a sewer rat.
Now?
It was nothing but fried pork.
The dirt was layered in dark crusty stains, the remains of intestines were coiled like hell noodles, and some of the pigs were frozen mid-scream, their blackened forms twisted into horrific statues. Lightning Bolt had turned them into unintentional abstract art.
Yuuta crouched and whispered mockingly to one particularly crispy pig corpse whose tusks had melted together like a cursed pretzel. "Look at you. Roasted to perfection. Should’ve brought some barbecue sauce."
He moved to another—just a head and part of a torso—and poked it with his toe. "Damn, you look like a failed meatball experiment. Your mom must’ve cried blood the day she squirted you out."
