33 Risen#re - Chapter 364

Lirian rushed into the keep and caught a lone guard that was still patrolling the halls, Lirian knocked him out and stripped him clean for all he had, when Lirian was done all the man wore were his tighty-whiteys.

Lirian put the clothes and armour on he even wore a helmet, Lirian died his hair black and started to walk through the corridors while looking through the floors at his two targets.

At once Lirian found Stanley, in truth he had seen Stanley when he entered the keep earlier, at the time there were three others extremely close to him.

Currently the three people still surrounded him, but from what Lirian could see the life force of two of them was on the verge of going out.

In fact, they were as good as dead, it would take a divine miracle for either of them to remain alive.

Around the room there were still many guards although a lot less than earlier, but it seemed like the guards were keeping a fair distance from the room for some reason.

Lirian went up and mixed in with the guards, it was surprisingly easy since everything seemed to be a rather chaotic, the guards were all distracted and barely paying any attention to their duty.

Lirian skirted his way through the guards, and came closer to Stanley’s room, but just as he approached the door, one of the life forces finally gave in and in the next second so did the other.

Lirian sniffed the air and smelt the fresh blood coming from the room.

Lirian furrowed his brows and turned the doorknob, as he pushed the door open the smell of blood and other bodily fluids reached Lirian’s nose.

When Lirian entered the room he extended his detection barrier to the limit and quickly identified what was going on.

The remaining life force belonged to a man who was pinned to a chair by nails, but the wounds weren’t all that serious, that said if not for the sound of the mans pumping heart Lirian would have thought him dead.

As for the two dead bodies, that was just a disgusting scene, the bodies belonged to two women, at least one was a woman while the other was a girl, probably fifteen years of age at most.

Their hands and legs were twisted in inhuman angles, and their bones were crushed in certain places, as for the rest it was best to say that they experienced every horror one could imagine, it was best left at that.

Even Lirian who cared little for the life others was slightly revolted, the only people he ever tortured were his enemies that earned the brutality, and those that he killed were killed quickly.

Lastly Lirian identified Stanley, who was lying down naked between the corpses, in his own bodily fluids and relishing in some form of euphoric pleasure that he got from his sick acts.

He didn’t even notice the intrusion, Lirian raised out a hand and suddenly Stanley was ripped from his bed, his ugly naked body came flying to Lirian without any resistance.

When Stanley realised what was happening his throat was already being firmly squeezed by Lirian.

Stanley’s large eyes popped out of their sockets and his fat legs kicked at Lirian, but even when they made contact, they merely hit a veil of metallic purple aura.

Stanley looked at Lirian with pleading eyes as if begging for mercy, but he received no such thing, when he realised that it wouldn’t work he started to focus on his aura and soon a light yellow aura started to leak out of his body.

But just then Lirian reached out a hand and took control of the energy inside Stanley’s body, and his aura completely collapsed.

Stanley let out a pained croak, “Father help,” he croaked out in desperation, but his voice was barely loud enough to qualify as a whisper.

“Who is the coward now,” Lirian spat in disgust and flung Stanley across the floor, Lirian himself was growing disgusted from touching him for so long, ‘It’s no wonder Izlandi feel such revolting disgust to her family,’ Lirian realised as he walked forward.

Stanley’s naked body flopped against the ground with a heavy thud, he crawled back to his feet, and he tried to say something, but his neck was swollen so badly from Lirian’s grip that he was struggling to simply take in any air.

“You are such a revolting creature,” Lirian said with disdain, “And to think that you dared to try and challenge me, did you really think that I’d be so foolish as to fall for your taunts earlier, when you tried to call me out,” Lirian spat in disappointment.

“You’re an imbecile if you thought I’d fall for such taunts, but that said don’t flatter yourself thinking that I didn’t answer your taunts because I was afraid, I can end your linage when ever I wish it, I’m merely taking my time,” Lirian said.

Stanley’s eyes had gone red with anger, now that Lirian was no longer holding him he attempted to activate his aura again.

“Don’t bother,” Lirian said twisting his hand in the air, “I’ve already sealed of your ability,” Lirian stepped in and punched Stanley in the gut.

In the next second Stanley collapsed, he vomited all over the floor and collapsed in a puddle of his own vomit.

“Tsk,” Lirian clicked his tongue in disgust, “And he thought that he was my superior,” he muttered with distaste.

With Stanley unconscious Lirian walked up to the man who was nailed to the chair, “You’re the one who brought that mother and her son forward for being refugees,” Lirian said, he remembered the man that sold out the first refugees when Stanley issued the decree.

The mans eyes were like husky pits, that looked into the abyss there was almost nothing alive left inside there, “Do you think that I got what I deserved for selling out that woman and her son?” the man asked his voice had changed a lot from before, it was harrowed and raspy, like a dead corpse that somehow found the ability to speak.

Lirian didn’t have to ask what his punishment was, he had to watch all that befell his wife and daughter until they died.

Lirian sighed, “It’s a dog eat dog world, there is no such thing as a fair of just punishment, no one gets what they deserve, they are merely given a punishment, whether it is what they deserve or not, that’s for them to decide for themselves,” Lirian shook his head.

“I see,” the man said with his voice devoid of any form of emotion.

“Is there anything you’d like me to do?” Lirian asked surprising himself that he even made such an offer.

The man looked at Stanley, “You going to kill him?” he asked.

Lirian nodded.

“Make it a shitty one for him, not quick like what you’re going to give me,” the man said.

Lirian nodded again and swiped the sword, the man’s head rolled to the ground, Lirian knew it from the moment he walked into the room, the man simply wanted to die, and Lirian wasn’t so kind as to nurse a person with a death wish back from the edge.

With then done Lirian decided to wrap up Stanley’s body and take it out with him, at first he went to use the bed sheets but then he decided against it.

It wasn’t the dead bodies that bothered him but rather that Stanley’s disgusting body had done all kinds of disgusting things there and Lirian had no intention of staining his body by touching it.

In the end Lirian found a rug and wrapped it around Stanley, then threw him over his shoulder, Lirian looked through the walls and spotted his second target.
