76 – Inhuman Torture

‘Snap’

For a moment, I felt like the world came to a standstill and the time was paused.

Then like a lightning strike, the pain hit me so hard that I could not help but scream,

“AHHHHH...”

‘ding’

‘- 230 Hp’

Without waiting for another second, Rob took another finger and then again

‘snap’

‘AHHHHHH....”

‘ding’

‘- 200 Hp’

For the first time in my life, I wished that this was just a nightmare and not the reality.

But the reality is cruel and Rob continued with breaking my next finger.

‘snap’

‘ding’

‘- 220 Hp’

‘snap’

‘ding’

‘- 220 Hp’

‘snap’

.

.

Rob continued breaking my fingers. I seriously wished for death more than anything else right now. And due to constant pain transmitted to my brain through the nervous system, I felt that my vision was going blank and just as I was about to lose consciousness,

‘SMACK’

‘-50 HP’

I was slapped on my face with so much power that, my brain was given a shock and blood started dripping from my left ear. And even a tooth was broken because of that slap.

But because of that I was woken up and the torture continued.

Soon, all my 10 fingers were broken and then Rob took my left hand and then

‘snap’

He used his leg and broke my left arm.

“AHHHH.....”

‘ding’

‘- 430 Hp’

I screamed at the top of my lungs and this time again my vision went blank, just as I was about to lose consciousness, Rob slapped me again.

‘SMACK’

‘-45 hp’

Again, few more teeth were broken and I felt a bloody taste.

And rob continued with his work that is, breaking the bones.

Gradually, my both of my hands were broken, then my shoulder cranium also broken and whenever I lost consciousness, Rob would slap me and bring me back to reality. Gradually, I lost the sense of pain and lots of blood was leaking from my mouth, nose, ears.

Other than the sounds of breaking bones, I felt no other sense. My vision was completely blank, my mouth was full of blood and I was barely able to make a sound. I hardly felt any pain, even the breathing was a problem.

“Sob...I am sorry Orochi...I am Sorry Orochi...it's all because of me.”

I could hear someone crying.

“I have been nothing but a burden for you. If only, I did not run away from my home and honestly stayed back then, I would not have met you and I would not have asked you to help me and you would not be facing this issue. Mother, please save Orochi.”

All I could hear the voice of Armelia crying, but due to my condition, my brain was hardly able to process anything. I hardly understood that she was blaming herself for something and asking her mother to save me?

Hah...who could save me? And why would anyone even save me. I don’t think my clan knows my location. And even if they did, I don’t think they would make any effort to save me. And my siblings and cousins will just ignore me. As for the friends and Lily, they betrayed me. And my teachers... hah I don’t have anyone who would come to save me. Armelia, you are way too much naïve.

Well, whatever I did not delve much on this. Currently, there was only one thing running in my mind.

{Endure this and find a chance to get back revenge on this people and the former enemies. I have to endure this and once I get a chance, I promise that I will make these guys regret for laying their hands on me and treating me like this. If I don’t endure, then these people will get away with this and I won’t be able to get my revenge.}

Other than getting revenge on these group of people, Lily Connor and my friends, there was nothing else I could think of. And I don’t think there is anything else, that I even want to think about. And this is the only reason which fuels my desire to live.

‘Smack...smack’

I felt someone slapping my face, which shook my brain. Gradually, my vision which was blank returned to normal and I saw that Rob was still staring at me with an expressionless face.

I tried moving my head, but I was not able to do so.

The burly guy looked at me and smiled wickedly,

“Well done, Rob. As expected of you.”

Hearing this Rob smiled and said,

“Thank you.”

After that the burly guy signaled two of his underlings and they moved towards me and picked me up and made me sit with my back resting on a tree. Because I was not able to move my legs. Looks like they have thoroughly broken my bones.

Then the burly guy went toward Armelia and grabbed her hair and started pulling her towards me.

“Ahhh...no, leave me, Orochi help me. Orochi...”

I was able to hear Armelia’s scream for help and I felt extreme pain from my heart, but because I was in no condition to help her. I regret, I regret for not running away after killing the bald guy.

I regret that I even accepted the mission.

I regret that maybe it was because of my greed, that I accepted the mission and stayed back to fight the bald guy.

But, will I be able to run away from a ‘Actualization’ stage and ‘Transmutation’ stage humans, even if I get a 10 second head start?

Will I be able to avoid something which increases my chances of survival?

And the answer to all this is – NO.

============================

I can see that the target of 140 Power stones, was just missed by a small margin of 1-2 power stones.

But nevertheless, I appreciate the support you have shown, and to show that appreciation in the form action, I will be posting 4 chapters tomorrow. Please consider it as a thanks for your support.

So, stay tuned and happy reading.
