Knowing that their was a way for him to survive in this place, Lander felt happy. He wouldn't care if he will become a devil, as long as he can see his uncle and cousin's face for the last time then he won't regret becoming one.
Lander stared at the book, then his gaze fell on the corpse, "Thank you Senior Xeo for such an information! If I could have a chance to see your child before I leave this world then I will give him this!"
After that, Lander went beside the cell bar as he heard noises coming towards him. A two armoured guards with both having two horns and tails stood up in front of his cell. Another one came, he was a human, "Follow me young man."
The cell was opened, Lander followed the human and walked a very long passage. He noticed that it was actually a dug up cave and each side having cells but weren't exactly facing each other. Lander's cell was at the endmost.
While walking, Lander also noticed the keys from the human who was very powerful. This elderly human wearing white robe wasn't someone to be trifled with.
After walking for about ten minutes, Lander never noticed any doors that could lead somewhere, instead they arrived at a very wide chamber with no other entrance than where they came from.
Just what the book stated, there were naked humans chained up, their heads hanging on the air while their feet couldn't touch the ground with bloods all over their bodies. There were also some humans on different tables, some were beheaded, others have lost a limb and the remaining were growling with pain as many metals were inserted inside their different body parts. Lander even saw one woman that was on a table with a metal inserted inside her private part, on her eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
It was a gruesome scene that Lander couldn't stand, he puked and wanted to rush out but was stopped by the two guards.
"You'll get use to it outcast!" The elderly human said with a nonchalant expression.
"Why? Why do you need to do this to them?" Despite knowing the answer, he still questioned.
"Because it's fun!" The elderly human smiled evilly that made Lander shuddered. He was now doubting whether he could just be a devil or die.
"But you're human just like them?" Lander asked bewildered. He thought, 'How could a human have no soul in him? Can't he feel any pity? Does his heart as cold as an ice? As hard as a metal?'
"Human? I've long lost humanity long time ago when humanity abandoned me!" The elderly human smirked with cruelty, "For power, I will let the humanity know of my wickedness as a reincarnated devil!"
"Reincarnated devil? What do you mean?" Lander asked intrigued while covering his nose and his eyes solely focused on the human in front of him as he can't afford seeing the things around.
The elderly human didn't answer him as he went towards a naked chained young lady tapping her. The young lady groaned as she looked at the elderly human scared, "Please! Let me go please!"
"I'll let you go if you drink this," The elderly human answered with a gentle smile.
"But, I... I...." The young lady was hesitant as she knew the effects of the drink.
When the young lady hesitated, the elderly human caressed her gently before giving her a wound in her face with a knife that made her scream. The elderly human didn't stop as he gave her beautiful face another wound, he didn't stop as he gave two more, "One more time, drink this!"
The other naked people were awakened by the young woman's screaming and they all shuddered in fear. No one wanted to say anything.
Seeing the situation of the young lady, Lander was hurt and couldn't bare it anymore, "Spare her, let me drink it instead!"
"Oh? So are you now willing to take the path of the devils?" The elderly human asked with interest.
"Yes, as long as you release her and let her stay at my cell. I'm willing to be your slave!" Lander clenched his fists as he made his final decision.
The elderly human laughed loudly, even the guards chuckled. He then turned towards the chained humans and told them to drink the blood that was being offered to them. Every humans chained up, even the young woman was forced to drink. Then one by one, the humans exploded except the three including the young woman. The others who didn't explode were an old man and a man.
"Why did you let her drink it?" Lander asked.
"You're in no place to question me here outcast! I am the law in this chamber!" The elderly human scowled at him. "Take this outcast inside his cell!"
Lander was again accompanied by the two guards and kept looking back at the young woman whose face was now wounded numerous times.
Arriving at his cell, Lander was in a daze as he was staring the dark room. He only woke up from his daze when the young lady was thrown inside.
The young lady shuddered as tears rolling down her cheeks while covering her naked body.
Lander who was wearing a robe and inside were his usual clothing, a jagger and a shirt removed his shirt and robe to the young woman, "Wear it!"
Obviously, the young woman was scared of him so Lander moved towards her. He can't help but stare at her breasts and private area for a while before helping her wear his shirt and robe.
Turning around, the image of the young lady's robust breasts were playing in his mind several times and he was embarrassed to face her.
Throwing the images away from his mind, he removed the scattered bones and skulls and placed it on a side before carrying the young lady from the cleaned spot. He then just laid a distance away from her.
