Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires

"Alexander, the leader of the White Fang clan has become impatient, you need to strike sooner," the salesman spoke coldly as he glanced at the body that the black entity had taken control over.

"I will act when I decide it's time, do not forget—," the entity leaned closer to the salesman as it spoke without any kind of emotion in its voice.

"I do not serve you or your boss."

The salesman smiled widely as he responded.

"Indeed you do not, but if you want that thing, then you should obey the emperor's command."

With a scoff, the entity exited the room.

"I will attack today, after that, what happens is on you."

The salesman watched the thing wearing human skin exit the room, and then he shifted his gaze to a man with purple eyes waiting on the sofa.

"We need to recruit more people," He spoke as he got up from his chair.

David scoffed, "So that is what you're calling it? Recruiting people? More like abducting."

Not paying him any attention, the salesman headed for the door but was stopped by David's question.

"I know there are some things I shouldn't know, but I want to understand—why are we working with that thing pretending to be human? It gives me the creeps, and the fact that it's getting better at mimicking humans, making it harder to tell the difference, isn't a pleasant thought."

"We are just using everything that we can get our hands on… do not worry, it will not dare to go against us… at least until we have what it wants."

The conversation was over, so David stood up as well. It was time to recruit more people.

Each movement was precise, its voice was the same as any normal human.

It had been living among humans for some time now, as such, it was able to almost perfectly replicate their movements.

A part of the reason for that was his… or at least this body's daughter—Emily. It turned out that taking care of a child while pretending to be her father had made it learn a lot of things when it came to humans. Especially when it came to their emotions.

Emily, being a kid, didn't have a good grasp of her emotions yet, meaning that she found it hard to suppress them.

The entity just had to silently watch her as it was learning at an abnormal rate the way humans behaved and thought.

It had reached such a high level of pretending to be a human that it was now confident that it could have conversations with everyday people without anyone noticing that something was amiss.

At the beginning, it thought that there was a chance that it would stumble on a Purifier and its cover would have been exposed. But to its luck, it seemed that a lot of the churches had been attacked recently, so the number of Purifiers had drastically dwindled.

They couldn't be found anywhere else except in the few big churches that remained, meaning as long as it didn't go to those locations, it would be safe.

Everything had aligned perfectly, so the day to strike Zack had come.

Coincidentally, it seemed that today was the day when its target was going to participate in the tournament, so feeling confident that it appeared like a human, it had decided to enter the arena and watch the fight, hoping to see what kind of other power Zack possessed.

Sadly, the man didn't use any powers at all. He simply overwhelmed his opponent with his mastery of sword fighting.

There was only one thing that concerned the entity.

In the arena, there was somebody very powerful. It was a man with crimson eyes that seemed to watch Zack intensely. Were they related in any kind of shape or form?

Despite knowing that it was a bad idea, it glanced for a second at the man.

In that moment, the man with crimson eyes seemed to have sensed that he was being watched and matched the being's gaze.

The thing wearing human skin felt its spine getting cold as just staring at the man's eyes spoke about how strong he was. Not only that, but the man had surely realized that he wasn't being stared at by a human but by a demon instead.

And yet, betraying expectations, the man smiled almost as if he were happy to have seen the demon.

The entity asked itself why, and then realizing it, this was probably Alexander, the leader of the White Fang clan. The man had probably deduced that the thing was the assassin the emperor had sent.

Then, a second later, the man's smile disappeared as he stood up. The match was over, so his work was done as well.

The thing wearing human skin shifted its gaze to Zack.

Even though the man had won, he had done it without using his powers at all, meaning that he had numerous wounds on his body. Strangely enough, though, he didn't bleed despite them.

'No matter, he must be at least exhausted.' The thing stood up from its seat as well.

The time to strike had come.

*****

Following Zack, the thing walked slowly, making sure to not look directly at the man to not arouse suspicion.

To kill Zack, it had to enter his body, meaning it would have to leave the current one it was using.

It was probably never going to see Emily again.

The fact didn't bother it in the slightest. There was no way that it had grown attached to a human.

'Now,'

Reaching a secluded place and making use of the fact that it was night, meaning there were no people around, it sat on the bench and then exited the body of the man it was using.

The black mass moved quickly, climbing down the wall of the house.

It traveled from one to another quickly as it finally positioned itself above Zack.

With no hesitation, it lunged toward the man.

Zack noticed it, but because he was exhausted from the fight he had just endured, his reaction speed was too slow.

The being landed on Zack's head as it began to enter into his eyes and mouth.

The moment had finally come. It was going to take full control over Zack.
