“Thud…”
As he slowly fell to the ground, the final remaining Old Demon Faction member, Baydr, could no longer go on.
“Cough… Ah…”
He was covered in wounds. Practically not a single patch of his skin was unharmed. Baydr was simply lying down on the ground in such a state, barely breathing. Only the fact that he was still making some dull noises from his throat told everyone just how much torment he had been subjected to.
The magic potion’s effect had long since passed.
He also had not a drop of magic power left.
The current Baydr truly was out of options. He didn’t have an ounce of strength left. All that remained in him was the final life’s breath.
And that final breath of his was something that his foe had purposefully allowed him to keep.
Shien stood before Baydr while holding his magic sword. As he withdrew his magic power, he spoke up like he was concerned.
“Well? Can’t you get up?”
Those words made not just Baydr, but even the knights and adventurers watching from the side, scared.
Shien’s words sounded like it was spoken with concern, but his expression was one of someone who still haven’t had enough after all.
He was practically telling everyone that – “I still haven’t played enough.”
“Devil…”
“What a devil…”
The knights and adventurers watching from the side all had terrified expressions on their faces. It was like they weren’t facing a comrade but an Old Demon Faction member even scarier than Baydr.
Actually, in everyone’s mind, Shien had already unquestionable become an even more terrifying existence than Baydr. Heck, he was the most terrifying person in their entire life.
After today, news of Shien’s viciousness will likely end up once again be spread out around Lamdrion.
But that’s for the future.
As the one who had taken all of Shien’s torments, Baydr only had one thing he wanted to say.
“Kill me… I beg of you…”
Baydr was even leaking tears. It was like he had witnessed hell itself.
After all, near the end, Shien wasn’t just cutting Baydr up or severing parts anymore. He even purposefully stuffed stuff like pebbles, daggers, mud, and whatnot into Baydr’s wounds. Baydr ended up watching helplessly as his wounds quickly closed up with those stuff still in it, becoming a part of his body with no possibility of removal.
That kind of sensation would definitely drive one insane.
Now, not only did Baydr look covered in wounds on the surface, he was even covered in internal injuries.
Shien acted like he quite admired it.
“You actually didn’t die even with that. As expected of a demon. Your life force really is quite strong. If I knew this beforehand, I should have stuffed some more interesting stuff in there, like bugs and stuff.”
As he heard that, Baydr’s face froze in terror. His body shook uncontrollably.
“A devil…”
“Truly a devil…”
Even the knights and adventurers watching from the side started shaking too.
Especially Leon and Eudrice. Those two didn’t have any real abilities from the start. Now that they’ve personally witnessed Shien’s cruelty in action, their faces have turned white a sheet, without a hint of blood.
“That Shien…”
Vivian had no idea how to react.
“What terribly bad taste.”
Diere frowned.
“So scary…”
Lumia turned teary.
“Mr. Shien…”
Melika had a complicated look on her face. As a naturally kind elf, she found Shien’s cruelty somewhat hard to accept.
Of course, Shien was really just saying stuff without meaning it.
There was no way that Shien could actually do such things in the end.
After all, bugs are creepy. Even if Baydr was willing to take them, Shien would have to be willing to touch said bugs first.
Shien would absolutely not admit that he was actually very scared of bugs. (Grin)
Baydr who didn’t know this just wanted to find release.
“Kill me already… Just make it quick…” Baydr begged pitifully, “If not, I can do like Jillian and find someone to stab me. I wont ask you to spare me, just allow me the sweet release of death.”
Pitiful child. For him to be force to such a point.
But now, Baydr finally understood why it was that when he grasped Jillian’s head, Jillian didn’t dodge at all.
With Jillian’s level and power, even if his opponent was Baydr, given that Baydr was already heavily injured, it should have been quite easy for him to have dodged.
But Jillian didn’t move an inch. He just let Baydr rip his head off. It was telling how much Jillian wished for death.
