SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726 In or out?

A couple of seconds later…

The four beast-men lay sprawled across the cracked black stone, limbs twitching faintly as residual poison sizzled through their systems. Their muscles refused to obey them, every breath coming out ragged and uneven. Yellow fur was matted with sweat, claws dug uselessly into the ground.

Damon stood over them, hands clasped behind his back, calmly examining each of them as if they were interesting specimens rather than defeated enemies. "Huh," he muttered. "Decent physical resistance. Strong instincts. Not bad at all." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

One of the beast-men turned his head with visible effort and spat to the side. "Ptui."

Damon raised an eyebrow. "Still got the spirit, huh? That's good. I'd be disappointed otherwise."

No one answered him. The group chose silence, their eyes filled with hostility and pride, even as their bodies betrayed them.

Damon sighed softly. "You guys are really making this harder than it needs to be." He crouched down, resting one elbow on his knee. "Let's get a few things straight. I don't know who you are. I don't know where you're from. And more importantly, I don't have any grudge against you."

His gaze sharpened. "But I do need information."

The scarred beast-man bared his teeth. "Kill us if you want, blood-stinker. We won't—"

Damon snapped his fingers. The poison inside their bodies surged violently for a split second. Not enough to kill. Just enough.

All four beast-men convulsed, muffled groans tearing from their throats as their nerves lit up in agony. Veins bulged beneath furred skin. One of them slammed his forehead against the ground, unable to stop himself.

Then, just as abruptly, it eased.

Damon stood back up, expression almost apologetic. "See? That's exactly the part I wanted to avoid."

He tilted his head slightly. "Now listen carefully. I'm not asking you to betray secrets, swear loyalty, or kneel. I'm offering you a deal."

He raised one finger. "You answer my questions."

A second finger. "I remove all the poison from your bodies."

A third finger. "You walk away alive, intact, and free to do whatever the hell you want next."

His smile widened. "That's it. Simple. Clean. No tricks."

The female beast-kin clenched her jaw, eyes burning. "And if we refuse?"

Damon shrugged. "Then the poison stays. It won't kill you quickly. That would be boring. It'll just make it harder and harder for you to move… to think… to survive whatever this place throws at us next."

Silence fell again. Seconds passed. Finally, the scarred beast-man let out a low, bitter chuckle. "Tch… you're a real bastard, you know that?"

Damon smiled warmly. "I get that a lot."

The beast-man exhaled slowly. "…Fine. Ask."
