Chapter 14: Torture R17+
"I would like to see with which hand you will use to pleasure my wife," the guard coldly said.
Sinnnk!
A light suddenly flashed by Zach's hand, and instantly his middle finger fell to the floor.
A terrible cry escaped from Zach's mouth as he glared at the Knight and yelled angrily, "You fucking damn lunatic!"
Outwardly, he was angry, but inwardly he was sweating bullets and about to pass out from the pain. Throughout his whole life, he had never experienced such agony. With blood still spurting out from where his finger once used to be, Zach kept trembling and almost crying.
"Hahahahaha!" Licking the blood from his shiny sword, now coated with Zach's blood, he laughed loudly and said, "In the midst of these boring monkeys and animals I killed, hearing your scream is more pleasant than I expected."
"Didn't the king say you should just kill me? Why? Why?! Why are you doing this? It hurts!" Zach cried out. At that moment, he regretted what he had done. The pain was too real, instantly jolting him out of his MC syndrome. He wasn't born with great determination or trained to resist such pain, thus making it hurt like hell. He wanted to plead for forgiveness, but looking into the knight's eyes, he knew there was no way.
"Because it's fun," the knight replied, smiling cheekily which made Zach wish he could punch his face.
"I curse your mother!" Zach cursed in pain. "I pray your wife always cheats on you with another man whenever you go out to make a living! She will always scream on his bed and enjoy the pleasure you can never deliver to her!"
As if not even hearing Zach's curses, the knight put his hands together, and suddenly the air around them changed. Countless streams of air started rubbing against each other, creating a loud rumbling as if ten thousand horses were stampeding, or as if a waterfall was flowing backwards.
'What is this? A large-scale air shockwave? Or a different magic? It feels like the air are condensing.' Zach focused his gaze and trembled in fear.
After doing all that, the knight revealed a perverse sense of excitement as he looked at Zach and shouted, "If you're in pain, you must cry out. You must definitely cry out, ok? Don't hold it back, let it all out!"
In the next moment, the many streams of air turned into blades condensed from what Zach thought was mana or air, rubbing against each other and releasing a sharp sound before they all shot out towards him.
In an instant, Zach felt as if he was being dismembered, as if tens of thousands of small, sharp blades were drilling through him at the same time.
Endless puchi puchi sounds echoed through the air as fresh blood started filling the atmosphere, forming a faint mist that dispersed into the surroundings.
The knight let the blood splash on him, dyeing his already destroyed armor and skin in the color of red.
"Scream out! Cry out! Enjoy yourself!"
A twisted sense of satisfaction hung on his face as he kept watching Zach, who was screaming like a pig about to be slaughtered.
"My dear fool, being born as a royal bastard child was the greatest gift you could ever get and you still dare to covet the King's woman? What next? His throne? Hahaha! You think you can threaten me with my woman, who knows me very well and wouldn't dare do such a thing to me? You irk me. You will pay by singing in pain for me. No one can think of escaping from me!"
Zach's expression was twisted in constant pain, his mouth open as he kept shouting terrible screams.
"Haha, do you know why you've never seen your so-called mother? It's because she wanted to steal from the king a large sum to escape with you to another kingdom. But guess what? The king caught her and told us to kill her." Saying this, he paused with a twisted smile and continued, "But how could us knights easily kill her? We all had our turn with her, one by one, for weeks, until we broke her… and then dumped her to the goblins to be their breeding toy. Hahaha! By now, I'm sure you have some young siblings!"
While saying all those words, he wantonly left one scar after another on Zach's body, his voice like the cry of a demon echoing in Zach's ears.
Zach raised his bloodied head and glared at the knight with the gaze of a wild beast, as if he wanted to swallow him whole upon hearing those words. It was an instinctive reaction from the body Zach possessed as if it still held the will of the past owner, who instantly grew furious hearing things about his mother. Even the real Zach was disgusted. He would never do such a thing to any woman. He would never turn a woman into a breeding tool!
"Hahaha, right, right, right! This is the expression reminds me of the exact expression your mom made after we handed her to the goblins," he smiled and shouted loudly.
"Hehehe, did you know? Your life was destined to be a tragedy from the day you were born."
"Don't let me survive this! I wouldn't kill you, but I'd find the ugliest creature in this world to turn you into their breeding tool!" Zach shouted in fury.
"Haha! As long as they have a hole in there, do you think I will care how they look? If it's tight, warm, and enjoyable, then bring it on!"
Hearing those words, Zach felt like passing out.
The damn knight was obviously experienced in torturing others. Each blow he dealt to Zach caused the most pain but the least injury, making him drown in endless agony without the relief of fainting or death.
The most terrifying thing was his words they were like poisonous daggers, each cutting deep lines into Zach's heart. He kept torturing his mind endlessly from all angles from his birth and life to his mother and friends.
Two hours later, the knight stopped, breathless. His face was still red from excitement as he threw Zach a glance and said, "I will heal you. We'll continue tomorrow."
"Wait a moment!" Zach lifted his head. No part of his body seemed intact he looked like an overused, old, ragged toy. He struggled to lift his head and asked him, "What happened to the other knights?"
"Hahahaha, they are having the same fate you will experience soon."
During the next seven days, Zach suffered from the knight's inhumane torture. In the beginning, he would still try to talk back; he would still scream out. But during the last few days, he had already lost all of his strength, and did not even have enough energy to speak.
He was burnt with fire and healed, stabbed with a sword into his butt and healed, forced to eat all the shit he had gathered during this period, dumped into a place filled with thousands of ants as they chewed into his body and still miraculously healed. Zach couldn't count how much pain he had experienced. He lost his will to live, was filled with regret, and even wished for peace in his next life. Thinking back to his promise to the author of this novel, he chuckled. Was it easy to even rise to the top without any gold finger?
Finally, as if tired of him since he was broken and no longer screamed, the knight healed him again and led him deeper into the forest, where a cave lay. He threw Zach inside. There, Zach experienced his last horror as the beast which looked like a fusion of a brown tiger and a bear ate him from the legs, to the hands, and finally his head, making sure he was alive to feel the pain before he died.
