Chapter 112: Torture Time

After calming the citizens, I returned to the church. I found Sandra's dot inside the church surrounded by some yellow dots, probably the nuns, in the innermost area.

Knowing Sandra, I knew that she was hungry and chose to find some food. I allowed her to move as she pleased, as restricting an assassin who could collect information individually was foolish.

She was already under my domination. My command would still arrive even if she was away due to our connection and appeared in the form of a notification in her head.

Back to the matter of hand, contrary to what I expected, it seemed like the Duke had already revived.

According to the principle behind the revival, one's body would be rebuilt when it disappeared into a mote of blue light. The reason why Orwen Bluerose got revived first was probably due to me killing him cleanly in one swoop to the neck.

The knights seemed to apprehend him as the red dot was moving toward where Jasper was on my radar. I bet Orwen was confused. He suddenly got revived without knowing when he died and got imprisoned immediately after that.

'Let's pay him a visit. I had let him go easily earlier, and it is time for him to experience some pain.]

Interrogating a criminal was pretty fun. I might get addicted to it.

***

Deep inside the church, underneath the main building, and inside the platform behind those long stairs, which could be seen from outside, was a large prison for Sinner and people with Sins.

I was quite surprised that there was another reason to make the church stand high above the ground. It was actually to build this prison and enlarge the underground area.

For the record, this area was called 'Sinner's Cradle', where the church kept Sinners and tried to wash their Sins away by making them do good deeds. How did that work? I had no idea.

What I cared about was the person in front of me.

"Hello, I guess."

Inside one of the cells with a damp interior and musky smell, which stung your nose, I greeted the middle-aged Duke in front of me. His face turned to that of deep, seeping anger and hate when he saw my face and heard my voice.

"Should I introduce myself? If so, then-"

"No need."

An old, grumpy voice interrupted me. Orwen Bluerose gritted his teeth as his hate-filled gaze planted on my face.

His appearance was truly ridiculous. Clad in a rag, his feet were bound with a chain, and his hands suffered the same fate behind his back. Still, that didn't stop him from spitting hateful words at me.

"Fake Paladin, Arthur. You dare to do this to me?!"

'Woah.'

That was quite surprising. He still dared to say that in this cell? With me being here and the captain of the church knight, Gerald, standing behind me with his sword on his waist?

I should praise him for his courage and lower my image of him. I thought he was quite an intelligent man, knowing he could rally some nobles to join him. But to think he was this foolish, or maybe a dreamer?

'He's so similar to his son in regards to not believing the others.'

But that wasn't important. I didn't need him to believe I was a real Paladin or not. The important thing was...

"I will have you sleep for a bit."

Saying so, I took out [Nightmare Lamp] from my inventory and activated it. The light inside let out an eerie blue glow, immediately engulfing Orwen Bluerose. Soon he began to fell to his knees and writhing in pain.

"O-Oooh! Arrrgghh. Help mee!!!"

His skin paled as he spasmed in pain.

"Y-Your Holiness, w-what happened?" Gerald asked in a scared tone, panicking due to the sudden change in Orwen Bluerose.

I looked over his shoulder and grinned.

"I interrogated him. It will be a hideous sight so..."

Turning back to the Duke, I crouched down to see his hideous face that was filled with fear.

"... You may leave if you don't want to see something like this."

The Sins for trying to get my woman were heavy. No matter what, whether he was controlled or not, it was he who sent that engagement letter to Baron Rose.

I had nothing to do right now before Ertha, the Bishop under Sana, arrived. So I would use this chance to do something beneficial for me.

"I will have him visit Hell for a few hours before questioning him. There are no Sins greater than straying away from Goddess Teri's teaching."

And that was torturing this man to the brink of breaking his mind. He was still of use, so I would hold back a little. Or at least I would try to hold back.

"Aaaahhhhh. N-NOO!! HEELPP!!!"

"Hahahahaha."

Accompanying the scream filled with pain escaping Orwen Bluerose's mouth was my maniacal laughter.

While I whined about something not going according to plan, which was true, almost it all still within my calculation, including letting Beatrice freely move for a while. Well, what happened to Baron Rose was a bit of a pleasant surprise, still...

'To think it will work this well. My effort to slowly wait and build my reputation has given me a satisfying result.'

I was a gamer at the core. If I wasn't a gamer, I wouldn't survive Horizon Online.

The move to gain Paladin title and Sana, then dominating Emilia. The way he spoke to Eliza as if he was a caring childhood friend and making Rania to admit her masochist tendency.

I even planned to deal with Adam to force Beatrice to seek another plan with my limited information. That was a gamble, but it paid off.

I had decided to do something different in the bonus stage. A few hadn't gone according to my initial plan, and I needed to change a few things, but...

'Being in the position to plan something instead of following a plan is fun. It's better than what I had expected.'

There was just one person left in the Virtue Kingdom which he needed to be wary of now that he had Beatrice.

'I think I need to strike a deal with that psycho after stopping by Eliza's home. I have something she will like, after all.'

***

In the distance, above the sky that slowly turned blue as the Sun had risen, an individual was flying freely with her purple hair swaying from the wind.

To assist her in flying, she grew back her body parts which she cut off to blend with humans and normal succubus, namely a pair of bat wings on her back and a black tail with a heart-shaped tip above her tailbone.

The wings flapped around, keeping her hovering and her tail wagging in excitement.

It was already a few years since she had those body parts. And she still felt stiff as she only had them a few hours earlier.

For a primordial Succubus who lived and moved at night, she wasn't used to the warmth from sunlight. Her skin could turn bad, and it would affect her life as a lewd Devil who used her body to seduce men.

And what did the primordial Succubus do by growing back her cut body parts and fly in the sky right now?

The answer might be shocking, but she was doing an errand.

"Haa...Haa..."

Beatrice drew a heavy breath as she felt her body burned from the inside by her sexual drive. Her body released a massive amount of pheromone as she desperately held back her urge to touch herself right here and now.

She felt a little pain in her ass, but that was due to her being penetrated by a big cock that belonged to her new master just a few hours ago. In fact, some of the semen was still inside her body, and she enjoyed the pain as it turned into a pleasure.

"Hnn~ I-It was a mistake going against him. T-That man... He's a monster beyond my wildest imagination."

An image of a young boy with blond hair and clear blue eyes flashed through her mind. The divine appearance of her new master, who subdued Lv 100 her, easily only increased her arousal. She was also reduced to a mere slave with his mark above her crotch.

Dominative and submissive. Both were a part of her, imprinted on her from the day she was born. She would assert her domination over those weaker than her. But to those stronger...

"Ahn! My mind wants to have him by myself, but my body wants to be trampled upon."

She would gladly give her body to him. And she had found one already, someone she looked down upon as a mere ant.

And that person gave her a duty. She could finish a simple one in a day and a long-term one that needed a few days or a month to finish.

"Haa... Master promised to penetrate my pussy and release me from this constantly aroused state if I finish this simple job... I-I need to finish it fast, or I will go crazy! Hnn!"

Her sensitivity had increased to the point she could orgasm just by her pussy being brushed by the wind. However, due to her master's command, her body couldn't experience any orgasm, even if she wanted it so badly.

Once again, not until she finished his order.

"Ahn! This is truly the harshest torture for me, a primordial Succubus."

Beatrice's body shivered once again as she was about to experience an orgasm, but her body refused to do it due to the command imprinted on her by the Domination Crest.

Each time she was about to experience an orgasm, it would be forcefully stopped as the crest glowed a pink light.

"I want to cum so badly!"

Shouting, she increased her flying speed. Her destination was already in sight, a small city on the outskirt of the Virtue Kingdom.

"There it is, Rose Barony! A bit more..." She dived down, using her <Illusion Magic> to make herself invisible.

"A bit more, and I will be able to finish the duty. After that time, I will be able to cum with my master's cock inside my pussy! So I need to work hard! Harder than he commanded!"
