Chapter 146: Chapter 95: Cornered

The girl screamed, her throat bulging in a monstrous swell, but no sound came out.

Kai had stuffed her handkerchief in her mouth, so deep that snot and tears came running down her nose and eyes. She was in a world of pain, Kai could tell. His own leg had been cut once, and its phantom pain still lingered if Kai focused enough to remember that time.

“Take everything out of your Inventory, birdy,” Kai commanded again. “And I just might give you a clean death, I promise.”

“Mmm… Mm-hum..”

Cuckoo was begging, cursing, and if her hands weren’t tied behind her back, she would have flailed them too. But the only thing she could do in the state Kai had left her was to sway her half-legs, showering the ground with blood.

She was dying.

But Kai wouldn’t let her. He took out a rotten piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, taking out the cloth. The girl clenched her teeth, the smell enough to make her gag on the spot.

Slap!

Kai slapped her so hard that her eyes lost focus. He stuffed the cloth back down her throat after making her eat. He couldn’t afford for her to vomit the rotten flesh.

Cuckoo’s face was incredibly pale, and the beauty of her face was all but gone. Now five-fingered bruises had taken over the milky-white soft skin. Her hair, which had shone with brown and red, was getting pulled out as Kai kept dragging her towards the sewer’s entrance like a sack.

It was hell.

Kai reined this hell like a demon

Slap!

“Take out the pistols,” Kai casually said, making her ear burst with blood. “I know you have them. I saw you firing. Take them out.”

“Mmm… Uhmm…”

Slap!

Sigh! Kai let out a breath, pulling the girl towards a dark corner. The noise of their fight had woken up the entire castle. Guards were running here and there, trying to find even a hint of something alive. So Kai had taken a roundabout way to return to the Tower of Hand. He just couldn’t fathom why this girl wasn’t taking out the pistols.

And that made Kai angrier.

“You are forcing me now, you know,” Kai scowled, throwing her onto a small pile of hay. “Last chance. Take out the pistols, and empty your Inventory. Then I will end your misery, OK?”

Cuckoo, with all her might, twisted her head and looked at her hands. Then she looked back at Kai, giving him a disgusting and pleading look. Kai stared at her. She sure is gutsy, he thought. Bitch is still asking me to let her go.

“Good,” said Kai. “Very good. I like your spirit. Now let’s see if you like the feeling of your eyes exploding out with slimy juices.”

This was no empty threat. The simplicity with which Kai had declared his intentions got only bolstered by the calmness on his face. Cuckoo squirmed like a chicken who had just got to know her fate. Slaughter! She was going to be slaughtered by this butcher, she must have been thinking.

Kai felt the itch on his skin. The Smoke Screen had left his entire body itching like a dog. But now the itch for killing someone had seeped into his bones. The thrill of torturing her made him smile, sending a shiver up the girl’s spine.

Suddenly, the entire world cracked.

Kai looked around and saw the cracks appearing everywhere like a broken mirror. The sound of glass shattering took over his senses. The girl scornfully grunted. At the sight of mirror shards or him, Kai did not know. What is this? Kai asked himself in awe. What’s happening?

Run! His Perception screamed, shrilly, sensing a heart-palpating danger.

No! Kai’s mind roared, and he lunged for the girl. But in-between them, a golden ring appeared. Kai stepped back, distancing himself as he gawked at the scene. The golden ring was sparkling as if little fireworks were going off at its rim. Through the golden ring, Kai could see little buildings, a street, and a few people in rags. It was like the golden ring was nothing but a round door; a hole adjoining two worlds.

The woman walked in then.

She was wearing a yellow monk’s garb, and white-gray hair flowed behind her like some aged waterfall. On her face, there was a plain white mask. The mask had only two eyeholes, but Kai couldn’t see her eyes through them. The only thing he could see was the exquisite picture of a sparrow on the mask. A vibrant bird!

Strong, Kai’s eyes widened with realization. Strong. Stronger than even Arlen Willey. She is from at least the 4th floor or above.

Kai’s hand trembled in fear. In excitement! This was the strongest Contestant he was seeing after facing that hooded figure who had brought out a wall from the earth. But this person was no friend.

A powerful enemy!

Kai licked his lips. The golden ring behind her vanished, and new mirror-like cracks kept appearing around him. It was only then Kai noticed the strange ring on her left hand. It was a flat metallic slab, and it covered two of her fingers.

The woman looked at Kai, who kept backing until his back hit the mirror wall. Then she looked back at the girl and her legs. Her eyes planted on Kai, she backed up, taking out a red pill.

Kai took out his sabers.

He saw her ripping out the cloth stuffed in Cuckoo’s mouth.

The girl screamed, squealing like a pig on its way to the slaughterhouse. The pain didn’t make her feel better either. It ate her from below, her legs wreathing, bleeding out thick juices.

“Aunt!” Cuckoo bellowed, crying bloody tears. “Aunt! Kill him. Kill him, aunt! It hurts so much.”

Aunt?! Oh, Haha! Kai grinned inwardly. So that’s how it is. This is getting interesting. Very interesting! It was amazing how he could still show this side of himself when he had almost no hope of winning against his enemy.

When the woman fed the girl that red pill, in a matter of seconds, all the bleeding stopped. Her pale face became rosy, and her dead eyes brimmed with life. Kai could feel her strength rising with every passing second.

“Lose your weapons, spawn of Chaos,” Sparrow said calmly. “You must pay the price for this cruelty.”

“I don’t agree,” Kai said, licking his lips lustily. “Her cunt wasn’t even worth a penny, I am afraid.”

“Humph!” the woman snorted, but there was no anxiety in her voice. “Give up all struggles, boy. You can never leave this Mirror Dimension without my permission.”

Kai’s gaze moved from the flat metallic ring on her fingers to the strange cracks around him. It was true. There was no sound coming in. Kai even saw a guard passing by, looking at them, or through them as if they didn’t exist.

Kai gulped. Then he grinned even more.

“OK, I give up,” Kai said, stepping towards the woman.

“Good, leave your…”

Before the masked woman could finish her words, Kai dashed. His feet almost slid, slithering as if there was oil on the ground.

And his black sabers glistened silver in the dark.
