Chapter 280 Dance Like A Fool, Kill Like A Maniac (1)
As soon as Ashton opened the doors, he was greeted by a weird stench. A strong fishy odour. A smell that he had been acquainted with quite recently.
"The fuck did you do..." Ashton shook his head in dismay.
"Tortured her of course! Just like you said."
Since Ashton could not control Servina with [Corpse Parade] skill and had a lot of other things that required his attention. He had left the task of Servina's interrogation to Celeste. Hoping she would figure out a way to get information out of the undead.
He looked inside the room, and then stared at Celeste. Torture? What kind of torture was this? Besides that, Ashton didn't even know the undead were capable of feeling... pleasure. Well, he didn't know how else he could explain the sight in front of him.
The woman, Servina, was tied to a chair, stark naked. A small puddle of suspicious fluid had formed at her feet, which were shaking uncontrollably. Her mouth was open like a venus fly trap. Not to mention, she was drenched in... some sort of fluid as well.
Her breathing was heavy and she looked exhausted yet not a single wound was visible on her curvy body. Everyone in the courtyard was gawking at her as well as Celeste, who couldn't be prouder. Even the undead could tell exactly what had happened there.
'Anna's powers seem to have been affecting the summons too.' Ashton sighed, 'I might need to shift her out of here sooner than later.'
"Remind me not to ever let you be in charge of interrogation ever again."
"But master-"
[I'll let her interrogate me.]
'I thought you were resting?'
[Rest? You really believed that shitty excuse?]
'...'
Ashton accepted his defeat. He wasn't going to win against two perverts, so he decided to focus on the necessary thing.
"Did she reveal their grand plan?" Ashton asked the bitch of a shadow mage in heat.
Celeste wrapped her arms around him and whispered in his ears, "Of course, master. You seem to underestimate the power of... pleasure."
"Believe me, I'm not significant enough to underestimate such a powerful weapon." Ashton replied before smacking her hands away, "Tell me what it is."
Well, it was true. In the week he had spent with Anna, she had proven him wrong every single day. Still, he wasn't there to discuss ridiculous things.
"Aliens. The undead have been colluding with some species of Aliens. The undead would provide them with corpses, and the aliens would give them enough weapons to conquer the planet." Celeste religiously replied, "That's what she told me before... she became like this."
[Ask her whether she described what these aliens looked like.]
Ashton conveyed Astaroth's question to Celeste. Thankfully, she had Asked Servina about the aliens since her story felt a bit far-fetched.
According to Servina, these aliens are a type of mammals, having four arms and two legs. Along with a long, thin tail that was attached to the back of their heads. Coupled with that, they also had six eyes which sit deep in their sockets and can often make them appear to be agitated.
Their small mouths and narrow noses made the aliens appear to be restrained. However, the truth was far from it. It didn't appear like they had any ears, yet their hearing was quite good.
Surprisingly they also knew the human tongue and had no trouble communicating with the undead. They also have small horns across their chests and backs.
Their skin is very thick and very strong. How did the undead know that? Because they attacked the alien and got their asses handed to them. The aliens didn't kill any of the undead, but they did break them beyond repairs.
Some of them had their bodies covered in hair, while the rest of them were hairless like an eggshell. As for their skin, it was mostly light grey and dark gold.
"Are the aliens or some kind of mutated version of monklins or gorillans?"
Ashton couldn't help but speak out. After all, the description was a lot similar to that of gorillans he had fought. As far as he knew, there weren't any space-faring gorillans just yet.
[It does ring a bell. I'm not sure but they could be Giholo.]
'You mean gigolo?'
[No. But the Xyrans named them so because of how their society was structured. A matriarchal society where the men are only kept for three purposes, breeding, sexual entertainment and to serve as cannon fodders.]
'Maybe Mera was a Giholo.'
Astaroth chuckled at Ashton's remark before continuing.
[The males are usually more arrogant than their female counterparts, even though they are treated like shit and their colours are less varied. The females, however, are usually more emotional and authoritative. Their eyesight is perhaps the best among the rest of the species.]
[The ones Servina, or whatever she is, saw might be an exploration group. The probable reason why they would want corpses is to conduct research and decide whether they can use y'all or not. Maybe they'll even decide to turn you all into livestock and milk you?]
Ashton scoffed when he realised Astaroth was joking about the last part. Still, these aliens might have been scared to take over the world by themselves. So they chose a faction and decided to manipulate them into breaking into a war.
Once the war swallowed every single continent, kingdom and city on the planet, the Giholos would take advantage and take them for what they were worth. Divide and conquer. An ancient strategy, yet as effective as always.
"Leave it to the undead to be played like a fiddle." Ashtn smirked, "The fuckers are too horny for power and authority. Hell, waging a war against the entire planet? How high were these fuckers? How strong are these Giholos?"
[In terms of technological advancement... it would take at least a couple of decades for your kind to catch up to them. That too if y'all stopped doing anything, but work on advancements. But in terms of physique, the earthlings might be stronger.]
Ashton nodded before turning his attention to Celeste, "Is that all she said?"
Celeste shook her head, "She blurted out a lot of incomprehensible things. But I could make out the words 'Civil war' through her slurry speech. I was about to question her about it, but she passed out."
[I wonder why...]
