Chapter 17 You... Must be tired of Life...?
"Kakaka!!"The Dark Ape chattered its pointy, gruesome teeth together as it stood over the terrified girl. Then, to add to her dismay, it shredded her dress with its sharp claws, leaving only her underwear to conceal her vulnerability.
"N-Nooo!! St-Stop it!!" Aya screamed, hugging her body in absolute horror. "D-Don't come any closer!!!"
"Kakaka!!"
The Dark Ape's malicious grin widened as it ripped away the last of the fabric covering Aya's figure. Something between its legs reared its head, and the beast readied itself to commit an unspeakable act.
"Pl-Please…! N-Noooo…!!!" Aya's eyes dimmed as the Dark Ape attempted to spread her legs. Yet, because of her unconscious unwillingness and superior strength, her legs wouldn't budge.
Annoyed, the Dark Ape slapped her across the face, leaving a dark red mark on her jerked head.
'Kakaka! Why even bother resisting when you can't even properly use your strength?! Just stay still and get mated, bitch!' The Dark Ape seemed to think this as it forced her legs apart, fully prepared to permanently scar her.
Yet, before its hideous appendage could come within inches of Aya, an arm shot through its stomach and lifted its entire body off the ground.
"What do you think you are doing…?"

"!!!"
The Dark Ape peered into those endless abysses sunk into Cassius's face, its body convulsing violently. The sheer terror coursing through its mind forced it into a coma.
Cassius's grip on its neck tightened, crushing every bone in its throat, yet he stopped just before killing it. Seeing the red mark on Aya's tear-streaked face ignited a level of rage in Cassius that he hadn't believed himself capable of feeling.
No matter how she had treated him in the past, Aya was still family. To do something like this to family… and to try going even further…
"Tell me… You must really hate living…?" Cassius's abyssal gaze bore into the Dark Ape's fragile mind, snapping it back to reality.
The first thing the creature did upon realizing it was still alive was shriek for reinforcements.
"Jajjkakk!!!!" It screeched deliriously, flailing like a worm.
"...Cass…ius…?"
Off to the side, Aya's eyes cracked open, only to see the enchanting face of the man she had been
