Bitter battle fighting a primal being part 2
Cp13
John and Alex tried to command their bodies, but to no avail the black smoke in their bodies blocks them . nerves , communication between the brain and spinal cord was cut off, so all voluntary movements were disabled, John could not control anything in his own body.
The smoke had other functions besides paralysis. The commander picked up a spear that was lying on the ground and walked towards John who was on the ground motionless. He raised the spear and with the tip pierced his left and right thigh in succession.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa "
John screamed like never before, this was because the black smoke in his throat had been removed so that his vocal cords could function normally, and the smoke in other parts of his body increased the sensitivity of his skin, the pain being at least 10 times greater.
" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa "
John's screams only grew louder as his body was repeatedly pierced, the commander had some knowledge of anatomy, he purposely avoided the vital points.
Arms, abdomen, legs and more
" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa "
" Hahahahaha hahaha "
John's screams and the commanders' laughter mingled in the air
At this point John's thoughts were not clear, all he wanted was to die as quickly as possible, he could not move his body but the pain was amplified, his thoughts abandoned him.
The commander used the tip of the spear to pierce and make cuts in John's skin, it was very painful, he felt as if his body was being sliced with countless blades.
Alex and the wolf family watched this scene helplessly, they couldn't even look away or close their eyes, Isa, her aunt and Alex shed tears, just imagining the pain John was going through they couldn't bear it.
After some time, John no longer screamed as he did in the beginning , because many of his nerves were destroyed by the cuts and punctures. When John felt that the commander had stopped, he felt a great relief. He would even thank the commander for stopping. This was because, in the midst of the torture, there was no room for hatred, remorse , or regrets in his mind. With the tremendous pain, he only wanted two children. First, the commander seemed to be dead, second, he wanted to die.
So when the torture finally stopped, he mistook relief for happiness, and that made him grateful in some way, but after his mind cleared a little, everything else came back, the hatred, resentment, remorse and a desire for revenge, all he wanted was to do the same or even worse.
When the commander stopped his torture, John was already bloodless . The commander didn't think it was necessary to deliver the final blow. He wanted John to enjoy the path to death. He still had another victim and the time he estimated was running out.
John's eyes became blurry, as everything went dark a philosophy of life was engraved in his soul, weakness is an unforgivable sin, anyone stronger than you can come and claim your life and you have no right to complain, just die obediently, this is the law of the fittest, the weak will be devoured and trampled.
John now felt his greatest regret, if only he left the house with a single guard he wouldn't fall into this disgrace, a single random warrior in Venhorst Castle would be enough to wipe the floor with this maniac.
What a joke! I can already imagine the kingdom's newspapers, young lord killed in the slums in his own territory. This will be a shame for the entire Venhorst family. What will my father and mother think? Will they cry a lot? Will they take revenge for me?
John spent all his memory about his life, all his 7 years passed like a film in his eyes, he thought about what he would have done, he really wanted to evolve and learn magic in this world, maybe if he was strong and knowledgeable about magic he would find his way back home to earth with his younger sister.
John asked if he could be reincarnated again, or would that be the end? He thought, if I have the chance to be reincarnated again, I will be the strongest in the world, so I will do whatever I want, no one can kill me even if they want to.
A darkness was approaching, it was very familiar to John, it was like being in his mother's lap, John embraced the darkness.

"Well this one is dead, now it's your turn kid "
Alex looked at John's body lying lifeless on the floor, hatred filled his heart, he felt hatred for the man who took his young lord's life and more importantly he felt hatred for himself.
Because of the so-called work and virtue he so desperately wanted to achieve, he did not stop his young lord from getting into trouble and consequently losing their lives.
Alex began to outline his convictions and life philosophy. Even though he was going to die at any moment, he still laid the foundation for his personal beliefs. Virtue and honor for those without strength are nothing more than a joke and the quickest way to die.
The important thing in this world is to have the strength to protect your master and your family. Who cares about the rest? If that's nothing more than fantasy and naiveté.
Alex swore to himself that if he had the opportunity to describe the story, he would create his own definition of work and virtue. Alex felt he had failed to protect his young lord. He interpreted the situation this way: if Ferrando didn't send an escort for John, it was because the lord held Alex in high regard for John.
Alex also thought about his family of three, his mother and father, he apologized to them in his heart, he wanted to be like his father , strong, faithful and intelligent to his lord, but for him, the first outing with his lord ended with the death of both.
***
Isa heard the commander announce John's death, a crack opened in her heart, she was crying as if she had lost someone important in the family, she felt guilty, all of this was her fault if she hadn't brought them to die, her mother often said that her race was cursed therefore she should not make friends because she would only regret it.
Throughout her life, Isa never made a single friend, she had no one to play or talk to, just her mother and aunt, but they lived their whole lives on the run.
Now Iza found someone who called her name and stroked her hair, she saw the eyes of love in John's eyes when he stroked her hair, Iza in some way that most likely John remembered someone who was not her when John stroked her hair, but knowing that did not stop her from feeling good.
Even though it was the first time that John and Alex met, she had a fondness for both of them, for the simple fact of seeing them both die trying to save their family, she had affection for both of them but the affection for John was special, she knew that if John didn't want to stay, Alex wouldn't stay either, but the opposite wasn't possible.
A woman's heart cannot be understood, even if it's that of a child like little Isa. Through tears, she made a vow with her life, knowing that although she and her family wouldn't die here and now, it was only a matter of time before their names ended up in the death note.
Iza swore with all her heart, in the next life I Izabela swear to become John's slave, servant, maid or wife, after thinking to herself the tears stopped flowing and the crying also stopped.
***
Isa's mother and aunt didn't think much about John's death, they just thought it was very regrettable for a child to die like that, they regretted the torturous way in which John was killed, nothing deeper.
