Chapter 16: First mission, Part 9

"Come closer," 

The man ordered with a wave of his hand before taking the last bite of his meal. Surprised by our bodies, we started to move forward, unable to control ourselves. 'What the hell? Stop! Stop moving forward.'

We looked at each other in distress as the distance between us and the man shortened step by step. About three meters from him, our bodies stopped.

"Kneel."

We complied against our will. We found ourselves kneeling in front of him, a few steps away.

"Who sent you?" the man asked.

His voice echoed in the room as if amplified several times. My ears began to vibrate. I did not answer but stared at him. A slight smile came over the man's face.

"The kingdom? A nobleman? A bloodhound? Another merchant?" 

I did not answer. With each new question, the man's smile grew wider and more disturbing. Then he spoke again. 

"Break a finger." 

My body began to move again. My left hand  grabbed the index finger of the opposite hand. 

'Stop, stop"

I tried to resist using my myndo but i couldn't stop myself. There was a class gap between us and the man. My index finger began to twist slowly under my frightened gaze. And then "Crack"

"Mmmmm" 

I stifled a cry of pain as I gritted my teeth. Lyanna who could neither speak nor scream could only express her pain with slight shudders. Her finger was also broken and began to take on a purplish hue.

"HAHAHA,"

A laugh escaped from the throat of our tormentor.

"No screams, no tears, what a deception..."

He began to say, feigning the movements of a grieving widow. He made dramatic gestures like a performer on stage.

"For the sake of the pain, break two more fingers," he ordered again in a singsong tone.

We tried again to resist but couldn't. "Crack" "Crack"

"Arghhhh" 

I cried out in pain. Tears began to well up in my eyes. The pain was intense.

"Crack" "Crack"

"Arghhhhhh"

"Crack"

"Arghhhhh"

The sounds of cracking multiplied and the man's laughter echoed in the dungeon. He noticed that we were regenerating quickly and a weird smile appeared on his face.

" Let's go to the next step, kukuku"

I was on the verge of breaking. The fingers of my right hand had broken twelve times. They were painful and swollen. Tears were streaming down my cheeks. Crouching, the idea of talking was beginning to cross my mind. Maybe , he would stop and let us go. But a sound of breathing reached my ears. I turned my head in the direction of one of the cells. I noticed what appeared to be a woman. She huddled in a corner, a dirty blanket over her head, holding a baby in her arms. Our eyes met and fear knotted my stomach. 'What the.. ,'

I have seen poor, miserable people before, but never have I felt this level of desperation in a person. The man's voice continued to echo through the dungeon. And my heart filled with hatred with each passing second. I looked around at other cells and could see a few bodies here and there; starting to decompose. Some of them were children's bodies.

'Die' 'Die' 'Die' 'Die' 'Die' 

This word was running through my mind as my spiritual energy grew more and more. Lyanna looked at the cell in question. Her energy instantly matched mine. Her chest began to rise and fall as her breathing became more intense. 

"Ugh ?"

The man stopped laughing as he felt the pressure in the room increase. He followed the direction of our gaze and turned to the cell. An even wider smile spread across his face. For the first time, he stood up from his wooden chair and walked towards the cell.

"Kukukuku you're angry aren't you?" he began to say as he took out a key from his robe and opened the cell. "For those miserable heretics? Kukuku HAHAHA"

His body swayed back as he let out a crazy laugh. 

"Get out" he ordered this time in a calm voice.

The woman's body flinched at his words but she couldn't fight the man's power. She began to shuffle toward the exit. We saw the state of her legs, completely broken. The woman dragged herself outside. She was crouching at the man's feet still holding her baby in her arms. Her body was shaking with terror. The baby in her hands, which seemed to be asleep until then, began to cry.

"She arrived a month ago. Her fucking bawler wouldn't stop making noise so I had to punish her kukuku"

The man pulled her hair, making the blanket fall around her. We had a second shock. She was in a terrible state, with infected cuts and bruises all over her body. She was also in an advanced state of emaciation. Her child was also showing signs of starvation.

"I was going to get rid of them. But with witnesses, it's even better." he said, clearly amused by the situation.

The baby's cries intensified as his mother tried to calm him by patting his stomach. She was shaking but trying to smile at her child. The man leaned in close to the woman's ear.

"Kukuku kill him," 

"What ?" the woman reacted n shock. Her voice was weak, so weak.

"I said , kill him"

The woman began to cry, shaking violently as her hands went around her child's neck.

"No, no, no, please, Master Armen...please, no, You have already taken my husband away from me, don't make me do this. PLEASE !!" she cried with all her might, tears flowing.

"Stop it! STOP! YOU SON OF A BITCH STOP"

I couldn't contain himself and shouted at him who was smiling even more. Lyanna was fidgeting trying to get closer but could not move. Her eyes were filled with tears. 

"STOP!!! STOP!"

My screams grew louder and louder. They mingled with the moans of the woman who clutched her child's neck more and more tightly. Then the inevitable happened. 

"Crack!"

 "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

A shrill cry escapes my mouth and fills the room. The baby's cries ceased, replaced by the sobs of her mother. Her gaze fell on my dagger, which was a few centimeters away from me. She quickly crawled towards it and picked it up before stabbing herself in the throat. Her blood splashed on my face and her body fell on the ground, in front of us. Then everything went black.

POV (Author)

"Paralyzed by the tragedy that was taking shape before their eyes. The spirits of the children were broken. Their faces was covered with tears and completely livid. How sad......KukuKuku HAHAHAHA. Wonderful, that was wonderful, just FANTASTIC " Armen shouted in ecstasy .

his cheeks turned red with pleasure and a stream of drool dripped from his mouth. 

"I hope you enjoyed this wonderful show, my dear...children" he added with a bow. 

He walked over to Rinne and Lyanna in shock, unable to take their eyes off the bodies in front of them. As he reached for Rinne's head. Armen stopped dead in his tracks and jumped back. But he was not fast enough, or rather the attack was far too fast.
