Tacky actually didn’t see him there. His reddening eyes were focused on the bastard right at his feet. However, he thought, that he might as well clear this one up so he could focus on torturing his target.
"Hey, Rip!" Tacky said, looking a little bloodthirsty. He stepped on the person on the ground and walked towards him, waving around his sword, making the previously-arrogant man to pale. "I knew there was someone missing back there," he said, referring the their skirmish from before.
There was actually something a bit different with this Tacky, and it was obvious something had changed since they last saw him.
Rip gritted his teeth, shivering from anger and nervousness. "Traitors!" "What lies did they feed you, huh!?"
Tacky almost laughed. "Lies?" he asked. "Even if they did, it wouldn’t have mattered.
"We have low standards of acceptance after what you put us through," he said, raising his sword. "You tortured us so much. Didn’t you think you’d ever get retribution?!"
Slash!
Tacky stabbed the man straight to the heart. He was panting heavily as he slowly let the blood flow to the floor.
To be honest, Tacky never thought he’d be able to kill people in cold blood before this war. The three of them used to play games a lot with some other friends. A few of the games were violent, but he remembered cringing a bit when the graphics were particularly gruesome.
But their experiences had hardened their hearts—making it so much easier after the first time.
How quickly people changed.
And after what he heard not long ago, he wanted to see more blood.
He then turned to the man who was very nearly crawling to the door. He looked very silly, but he didn’t care. The bastard crawled like his life depended on it.
And it did.
Baka and Juan saw that he was heading to Tin and proceeded to deal with the remaining ones. They knew Tacky had a deep beef with this one, and let him have the satisfaction for revenge.
Tacky raised his sword and stabbed the back of the man’s knees, and a loud squelch was heard followed quickly by a pig screaming.
"GYAHHH!!!" Tin yelled as he laid down head first on the floor. He was then turned back, shivering, and he was stabbed again, this time on the stomach.
"W-What are you doing?! GYAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Tacky didn’t answer and stabbed him right on the crotch.
"STO—KYAAAAAAHHH!!!!"
Tacky relished in the suffering of this man in particular. He was glad he wasn’t mauled by the monsters like many of his companions. This meant he could make him suffer now!
This was one of the guards who beat them up, leaving them to the beasts. But this wasn’t what made him so crazy.
More importantly, this bastard was one of the people who touched his sister! He found out about it from Raffy before separating for this task. Apparently, he had heard them bragging about it while they were confined!
Raffy’s eyes were a little red when he told him this, obviously holding back a lot of anger as he listened in. Raffy did not know his sister, but he felt extreme injustice for her.
