“Why don’t you just give up? I don’t want to hurt you, but you’re seriously giving me no choice.” Spinza’s Katanas rested in their hands.

They really didn’t want to hurt the other crab. The whole fight was over something as stupid as robbery, but the other decided to test their remaining patience.

“Oh? It’s your choice to harm me. I am not the one making that choice for you. But based on your reaction to me having the upper hand, it seems as if you’d prefer to kill me. So go ahead.”

Spinza froze up. If they attacked, they’d be playing right into its game. If they didn’t, it’d get away.

Clicking approached quickly. They didn’t get the time to react before a white hot pain slammed into their waist.

Blood sprayed onto Lewt’s claw. Its face lit up in excitement as Spinza lurched forward and gagged. More blood came from their mouth, covering both of their clothes.

If there was anything Lewt loved as much as gold, it was bloodshed.

Lewt’s good hand wrapped around Spinza’s waist as it removed its claw and shoved it back in, deeper this time. Spinza began to cry a little, causing Lewt to ‘comfort’ them.

“There there. You’re doing so good. Most people would be screaming their heads off by now.”

“Wh… why? Why did you do this?”

“You told me to stand down. I’m simply giving myself a reason to do so." He moved away slightly to look at his handiwork. "I’ve always loved the sight of blood, especially when it’s drawn by my own claw.”

The moonlight made all of the blood on their bodies glisten in a twisted beauty. The scent of coppery blood flooded the air.

For once, Spinza was powerless in this situation.
