Abyss Domination - Chapter 135

Chapter 135

Inside the dark cold prison, Soran saw bloodstains everywhere . It seemed like the guards had already tried many methods .

At the side were burning charcoal, searing iron, whip, knife and so on . The young man in front of him was gruesome . He had dozens of whip marks on his body and looked bloody . There were burned scars on his chest and the side of his face . There was a slave mark on his forehead, and his fingernails were pulled out one by one . The bloody scene made the two girls behind the middle-aged woman feel disgusted and almost vomit, but they managed to hold back .

“You!… You’re a bunch of…I curse you all…”

The young man’s speech was somewhat blurred, maybe because the bleeding had consumed too much energy . His eyes, however, were still vicious and his expression was still ferocious .

The marshall seemed to want to restore his authority . So he took up the whip and gave the young man a fierce whip, which made his flesh and skin rip open . The marshall gasped, then explained, “Look, Priest Tinar! He has been completely controlled by evil spirits, and only curses us . ”

The middle-aged woman looked disgusted . It seems like she wasn’t used to such gore .

She turned to look at Soran as if to ask him if there was anything he could do . Soran’s expression was very calm . He had seen so many gory things that this was nothing at all . He just slowly said, “Can you treat his injury? At this rate, he will soon die of excessive blood loss!”

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a second but proceeded to cast Treat Wounds .

The power of divinity came into effect immediately, and the wounds on young man recovered quickly; it also seemed that he had also recovered a lot of energy . The young man opened his mouth to curse, but Soran swiftly stuffed a rag into his mouth, blocking the evil words that he wanted to blurt out . He turned to look at the others and said, “What I’m about to do may be unfit for children . I think all of you better go out . ”

Everyone there hesitated .

The middle-aged woman frowned and then turned and walked out . Her intuition told her that the adventurer in front of her might be telling the truth .

She did not want to witness something very difficult to accept .

The marshall was not pleased and he did not go out because he wanted to see what Soran was going to do . The young man in front of them had resisted almost all the torture and only kept cursing at them for more than an hour . So he did not believe that the adventurer in front of him could have any better means .

“Step back a little please . ”

Soran glanced at the others, motioning them to stand far away, and then said, “Don’t talk, don’t interrupt me . What I’m going to do next requires complete focus . I don’t want anyone to interrupt my work . ”

“Understood?”

His tone was very annoying, but his stare gave everyone chills . They involuntarily shivered .

Soran laughed, but his expression was somewhat strange .

He went up to the young man and whispered in his ear as if he were talking to himself, “You know what? I’m depressed today! When I saw what you did, I suddenly felt what I have been doing for a month had all been a joke . I took Vivian so far away from a dangerous place, but it seemed as if I was heading into another dangerous place . ”

“What a troubling world!”

“In order to find a safe place to take refuge, I am not afraid of fighting, nor death . I just want her to grow up in a relatively safe environment . ”

“After all, she is only eight years old . I just want to bring her away from all the fighting and let her grow happily . That’s not too much to ask for, is it?”

“But God seems to have some issues with me . ”

“Maybe there really is nowhere safe, and I have nowhere to run . ”

“Now that I think about it, Gloria did do Fortune Tell on Vivian, and she saw endless blood and fire . Maybe this is fate . There will always be so many dangerous encounters along the way . Even if we desperately tried to evade them, we still run into them . I don’t know whether it’s my fate or Vivian’s . Maybe it’s both of our fate . ”

“Actually, I don’t know what to say either . Maybe I’m complaining too much . ”

“What I’m going to do next is something you won’t want to see . But you have to witness it and experience the whole process because you are my canvas . ”

Soran slowly pulled out his curved sword . His palm trembling slightly but soon stabilized . His fingers were pale, probably because he had gripped too hard .

He stared at the young man and said, “The believers of the Maiden of Pain are actually very annoying . ”

“Because you have an ability to resisting pain and suffering, normal torture is useless on you . When I used to be in the Underdark, I saw many Priests of the Queen of Spiders who couldn’t do anything to your bunch . But unfortunately, I know that there is a good way to deal with you and I just so happen to have learned it from someone a while ago .

“Do you know what it is?”

Soran went close to the young man’s ear, and his whispers only increased his psychological pressure on the young man; it made him feel uneasy, writhing all over, desperately trying to stay away from him .

Soran smiled, but he looked more like the devil . He whispered to the young man, “Flaying!”

“In fact, my craft is not very good . The best craftsmen were in the Abyss and Hell . But I think my skills are better than the executioners here . After all, I have received a lot of professional training . Do you know about the Underdark? It’s the land of the Drows . They are masters of torture and some of them are crueler than demons!”

“Flaying takes precision . If you could peel off all the skin of a person, they would only be a beginner .

“When I was learning this art, the Drow who trained me was a master of torture . Do you know what he wore? A very powerful and legendary piece of armor that was stronger than many Knight armor . It’s called the [Deadman’s Suit] . Only the evilest, doomed to fall into the abyss of Hell, would wear that thing!”

“He told me, that a qualified flayer has to peel off all the skin of the subject and still keep the subject be alive . ”

“That was when someone would be qualified . ”

“Actually, I’m not sure if I would be able to keep you alive, but you should be able to live for a while . After all, I am extremely agile, and there is a grade 3 Priest outside .

Soran communicated in a low voice such that only the young man could hear what he said; the others could not hear anything .

The young man who was hung up trembled all over, and the fear in his eyes grew stronger and stronger . He tried to say something, but his mouth was gagged . In fact, he could only make unwilling sounds .

Soran raised his curved sword, looked at the young man, and laughed . As if chatting with a friend, “Actually, I would never have done such a thing in the past!”

“Unfortunately, you have pushed me a little too far today because I’m really angry . ”

“And I mean really angry . ”

“It’s said that the worshippers of Maiden of Pain will enjoy the pain but I don’t know if you can enjoy the following process . I know you have good tolerance and you probably won’t tell me what I want to know right now . ”

“But that’s fine . ”

“I’m an honest person . I’ll let you experience my craft and let you decide if you want to talk . ”

“Alright?”

Soran raised his curved sword expressionlessly, then cut down slowly but steadily along the top of the young man’s head . The force was not very strong, but his hand was steady . He steadily cut all the way from the scalp, down the back of the neck, then continued from the top of the spine to its end . He had steadily cut the first line .

The young man was trembling all over his body . The fear in his eyes was almost completely covered up by the pain . He struggled desperately, but he still felt the skin and flesh on his back being stripped away .

The other people in the room seemed to realize what Soran was doing . Even the marshall turned his face slightly and dared not look at Soran any more .

“Don’t move, boy . ”

Soran grabbed his neck gently and said slowly, “If you move too much, the art can’t be completed . I’m only done with your back . We’ll have to do your arms and thighs . It is said that a Flayer could peel off someone’s scalp first and then deal with the other body parts . I don’t have such superb skill, so I am only able to deal with the other parts first so that you can see it yourself . ”

Fresh blood dripped down .

Some of the guards were not able to bear it and turned to go out .

Soran cautiously flayed the other arm, then looked up at the young man . The young man started to mumble something out . His eyes were full of fear and appeal . Soran looked at him and said slowly, “It seems that you want to say something?”

The young man nodded his head desperately .

“Very good . ” Soran slowly sheathed his curved sword and said, “This actually is very tiring work, so it’s good that you’re willing to talk . ”

“Pa . ”

Soran snapped his finger loudly, took off the rag from the young man’s mouth and said to the guard, “Please invite the Priest in, he’s willing to talk now . ”

The marshall’s body was stiff for a moment and then he went out . He didn’t know why his legs were shaking and he almost fell to the ground .

Soran had his back to the young man as he slowly sheathed the curved sword . His hands were slightly trembling .

But he soon recovered after he took a deep breath .
