Bestial Lust (The Owl House AU)

Traversing the forests located on the Titan's left forearm, Oliver searches for his targets.

"Most insect devils live in tall tree forests where there are smaller insects and birds as a food source."

Moving calmly through the dense vegetation, Oliver sharpens his senses in search of prey. Suddenly, the sharp cry of a bird breaks the silence.

Looking up, he finds himself staring at a grotesque sight: a huge praying mantis with six bladed arms is holding a raven in its slimy tongue. The bird is still struggling, but its strength is fading.

Oliver watches for a moment, assessing the best moment to act. Without hesitation, he activates his tentacles, which shoot at the monster's chest. The impact throws him against a tree trunk, forcing him to release the crow, which quickly hides behind Oliver.

"WHO DARES INTERRUPT MY MEAL?!" The mantis rears up again, his eyes burning with fury as he glares at Oliver.

"Sorry, man," Oliver smirks. "There's a bounty on your head, and I've come to claim it."

The demonic mantis lunged forward, its blades glinting in the light filtering through the trees. With a swift leap, it attempted to slice Oliver in half, but before its blades could touch their target, four black tentacles stretched out from its back. They wrapped around the creature's legs, stopping the blow at the last moment.

"Tsk... You're fast," Oliver muttered, feeling the creature's strength trying to break free.

The monster writhed, cutting at the tentacles with frantic blows, but the moment it broke two of them, it raised its head with a victorious smile.

— You foolish wizard! My blades can cut through diamonds!

Oliver blinked, watching the monster gloat. Then he shrugged.

— Okay... But I don't have a single diamond.

The praying mantis froze for a moment.

- Also...?

Oliver raised his hand and focused his telekinesis. The creature was forced back a few feet.

— Time to end this.

Before he could react, a purple energy began to envelop Oliver's body. His muscles expanded, his skin turned purple, and small white horns sprouted from his forehead. His eyes glowed an unearthly pink, exuding a menacing aura.

With a sudden movement, its remaining tentacles elongated and pierced through the monster's legs, pinning it to the ground. Before the beast could scream, a tentacle regenerated and shot forward in a blur, piercing its face with enough force to crack it like porcelain.

A good hunt... — He muttered, feeling satisfied with the victory.

Oliver heard a croak coming from behind.

It was the red-eyed crow he had indirectly saved. The bird flew around him, brushing its head against his cheek as a gesture of thanks.

"No need to worry, friend. You're safe and sound now," Oliver said, holding out his hand for the crow to land on.

He smiled.

"Now you can go home."

The crow, however, wheeled in the air in clear protest, landing on his shoulder and pecking his ear lightly.

"Hey, little friend... Do you want to come with me?"

The bird squawked loudly, as if affirming with conviction.

Oliver chuckled, scratching the back of his neck.

"Well, with the parts of this corpse, I think I'll make enough money to feed another mouth. So... why not?"

The crow cawed again, but this time its body glowed. In moments, it transmuted into a talisman, taking the form of a black staff with scarlet accents.

Oliver stared at the artifact in his hands in disbelief. After a moment, he smiled.

"Well done! Looks like I hit the jackpot! Can my day get any better?"

["A woman masturbated thinking about you. +2 XP"]

Oliver blinked.

"… Where are you from?"

At the Blight residence

"Emira, get out of that bathroom and come have lunch!" — Odália knocked on the door impatiently. "What's gotten into that girl?!"

---

In Amity's room

"Amity, didn't you hear Mommy calling you ten minutes ago? Come eat!" — Edric insisted, knocking on the door.

"I-I'm going out now!" Her voice sounded muffled and shaky.

Huddled under the covers, Amity breathed heavily as she grabbed more tissues from the bedside table to clean herself. Her face was completely red.

"Damn hormones… Damn Oliver…" he muttered in frustration, still feeling the heat running through his body.
