Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 235: Outraged

The tentacle stopped, and then the massive body of the monster rose out of the water. It blinked the oily tar out of its one big eye that was turned on me and stared at me for a while.

It held its tentacle floating in the air about two meters away, but I could see the mouth on the thing opening and closing. The rows upon rows of jagged little teeth looked a bit menacing, but I tried to just ignore it and wait to see what it was going to say.

"What do you offer us?" Asked a very female voice.

"A chance to get out of those bodies, I can change you so you are more human-like rather than a monster if you would like? Besides that, I could just not kill you all, and that also would seem like a fair trade, right? I am just saying to get all the deals on the table, just in case you didn't like the first one," I said with a smile, I think I smiled, it felt like I did, but I wasn't sure how it worked in this suit.

"You are very bold, but then you are very large and dangerous looking. Let me speak with my two brothers and sister, and then I will let you know. Name is," The monster hissed and spit a couple times, and looked surprised.

"Don't worry. I think anyone would react like that after hearing their name said like that. Don't worry, we will work on that," I said with a chuckle as the female Tar Kraken dipped back into the bog of tar.

"See, look at that! Now you won't even have to fight them!" Krya said with victory.

"Maybe, but now we need to bring them with us, and we will need to feed them. Sure let's save all the monsters, woo, but then we can't just leave them to die, can we? You keep this up and it's going to get awfully crowded in here!" I said trying to get her away from this.

"Oh, don't worry, I already talked to Eva about converting the inside of your body into an apartment block! Since you don't actually need moving parts to move the armor and you're like eight stories tall I figured we could convert you into a mobile foster home for monsters until we get back! Doesn't that sound great?" Krya asked hopefully as she finished her little, don't worry I have everything under control crazy cat lady speech.

Honestly, I needed every able-bodied person I could get, and this was a really good idea. 

"That's a pretty damn good idea babe! I love it! Maybe I can sneak in some time and we could spend some time in my head if you know what I mean, haha!" I said laughing.

"Thank you, and I plan to hold you to that!" Kyra said, and I could see her smiling inside of me.

We waited for a bit, but soon four monsters rose from the muck. They slowly pulled themselves out of the tar, and up in front of me. 

Out of the black mess, they were only about three meters tall. Big, if I were normal size, but I was about ten times as tall as them.

Now that they were out and I could see them, I probably would have been fine to just walk right by them. I kept forgetting how big I was, but who knows. Maybe they could have tripped me up.

I was just glad to do something other than kill. It always felt good to actually win a fight and not just advance. Plus, happy wife, happy life.

I reached down and tapped each one with a finger from my right hand, and then let off little blasts of light. My eyes were able to easily dim the light, and I was left with four almost human-looking people.

The top half was clothed humans, but they all still had masses of tentacles for legs. I was going to have to lift them all up inside of me, there was no way they would be jumping up.

"Please get to the outside of the left foot and there will be a door there. Please enter the door and the elevator will bring you up inside. From there we will find your rooms, so I hope you enjoy your stay!" Kyra called over the intercom.

Since when did I have an intercom? Or an elevator? The group of four awkward slithered over to the outside of my left foot, and I felt the door open and then they all entered.

To say that I felt weird to have them ride up an elevator on the inside of my leg would be a gross understatement. It was like having a mouse run up your pant leg, and you were forced to stand there and wait for it all to be over.

When I was finally over, I waited for Kyra to get everyone settled in before I started to move again. After She was done, I started to walk forward down the long path that led to the pyramid temple-looking thing. 

I really hoped that the bone dragon would be waiting inside there for me so I could whoop his ass and get to the next extra challenge. The real question would be to see what I would get from shit-kicking this pile of bones.

I was ready to go as I pushed the door open to reveal a big huge open space with my target waiting for me. Finally, something goes right!

"So, you killed the Family of Tar Kraken's! Ha, I knew you were a heartless monster!" Whistled the Undead Dragon from up ahead.

"Killed? You gave them magic and now they are inside of me, with my wife."

"Yes, a Heartless mongrel like wait you what? You didn't kill them?" The dragon whistled in astonishment.

"No, my wife told me to talk to them, and I did, and now I have more visitors. Are we going to fight or what?" I asked, I was all fired up.

"Hey, wait, hold on, I give up, uncle. Take me with you!" The dragons pleaded with a whistle.

"What? No! I came to fight you!" I said in outrage.

"Hyde!" Kyra snapped at me.

"Ugh."
