Chereads / the war goddess / Chapter 24 - 24:evil forest 1

Chapter 24 - 24:evil forest 1

"how much longer will it take" Greg asked his right hand man as they made their way to the breaking dungeon , the breaking dungeon as it is called is a sort of torture room built years ago to tame disobedient vampires who refused to serve the royal family and serve as a punishment room

it is buried in the deepest part of the kingdom forest , a forest where human dare not wander into and come out alive except the trained vampires the forest is known as 'the forest of evil' and avoided because of the mysteries surrounding the forest it is said that the forest is the burial site of a dark immortal named imade , imade was known to be the most strongest of all dark powers who had lived since the beginning of time she derived her powers from sacrificing four hundred innocent girls every five months thus making her to be the ruler of all beings on earth not until the cries of the oppressed reached the ears of the spirit realm , the heavenly beings came together to wage a righteous war against imade but failed woefully she ruthlessly destroyed them and sucked out their powers which earned her more powers

in the second century the circle of life formed a rare spirit being who was said to have twice the powers of the spirit beings killed by imade, she was called the goddess of war she became a single entity of the six goddess, after years of training and preparation she came down to earth , fought with the immortal imade and emerged victorious but was also destroyed in the first great war

all the powers assembled together and buried the black heart of imade into the evil forest while the silver heart of the war goddess was taken back by the circle of life never to be seen till date . people complained of hearing the strange cry of imade over the years and the elders placed a spell on the forest to stop her undead spirit from dwelling in the body of young youth which is her main prey ,

the area is protected with powerful spells made by the enslaved sorcesseres

but why is the vampires not afraid of this wicked spirit ? they even dare to build their secret palace in her abode ,what could give them such gut? there is more to the story .

***

the breaking room is filled with silver chains and gadget used on vampires , the night creatures are powerful beings that can't be killed easily with just a cut or slash but the silver chains make sure to slow their powers making them weak and unable to fight back ,nobody knew how silver became the only weakness of the night creature. some said it was associated with the moon goddess who made the vampires vulnerable to any shades of silver due to the wickedness and cruelty of the vampire who thought they are supreme just because they have no weakness of any sort , different version of stories have been told but none clarified and that became yet another mystery

" i don't know" sam answered with a low voice ,he knew how unstable greg can be if he doesn't get what he wants ,as for the strange woman she had been in the torture room for over a week yet no improvement or any form of submission from her he had doubt on her identity , she looked way too familiar and strange at the same time ,those golden eyes that seems to be burning with everlasting flame ,the excessively long hair and the slowly fading elegant aura , all seems familiar

what is her role in the fight ? all he knew was that she was brought in by Greg who kept saying she is his secret weapon to victory, how ? a question still left unanswered , he tried all in his means to get her identity from Greg all to no avail,

Greg is a one man army he never discloses his plans to anybody until he does it ,what goes on in his mind ? this he does not know he could only sigh and wait for the day Greg decides to fill him in on the plan they walked through the dark secret passage ,with no ray of light the passage is built with mud and barely holding on

a pretty blonde woman in a black leather jumpsuit and an equally leather boot stood at the entrance of the dungeon , her hair was in a long ponytail and an electric stick was in her hand she looked almost like a sexy spy ,Greg walked towards the entrance but diverted his step to the pretty girl he surveyed her with his red eyes, she looked not less than nineteen in age and pretty indeed, sam wondered why greg was interested in the girl , the greg he knew never cared less for an innocent child's life not to talk of taking interest in a mere slave

" vamp 102 " she said loudly in a soldier-like voice

he lifted her chin with his thumb ,her blue eyes peering into his fearlessly , he took the electric stick from her and placed it on her stomach even with the sizzling sound coming from the stick as it makes contact with her suit she didn't move a muscle nor make any distress sound ,yes , she was trained for this ,tortured and broken to be hard hearted without any sense of human sympathy , she killed for a living and for satisfaction and have the belief to be killed someday and anytime .

after a few seconds he withdrew the stick and replaced it in her hand with a smirk on his face ,blood tickled down from the side of her mouth but she still stood firmly

" tsk tsk tsk , who trained such a weak blonde " Greg spoke in a murderous voice ,gaze still on the vampire " well she's pretty and would be a tool to seduce someone for me " more weapons for the battle ,victory is sure .

" i want her to report in the mansion first thing tomorrow ,understood?" finally Greg is losing his mind over a war that is not even certain ,yes , he wanted revenge but not to the extent of losing his life in it he had been with Greg the longest and still could not understand how his brain works seducing someone? who can that person be?when he wants something he gets it either by hook or crook playing the dog chase is never greg's method which is why he thinks something is fishy he took a final glance at the girl and followed after Greg

the greyish hallway was filled with old carvings and black arts on each side of the hallways black suited women with pony tails and electric stick stationed in every corners of the hall , they stood lifelessly and one would think they were statue

the aura emitting from the place was deadly .it reeked of spells and magical powers ,so strong it could make a man pee on himself with fear . the smell of blood mixed with herbs rented the air giving off a nausea feelings. only the sound of clicking of the two men shoes could be heard , getting nearer to the break room a terrifying scream overtake the silcence , the wailing was worse than the scream of a banshee

the two men stood outside of the room watching the naked woman whose two hands were tied with a chain attached to the wall and her legs with a more heavier chains through the glass window

there were also two women dressed in leather suits like the blonde girl but their ponytail was beneath their hips and were with whips instead of the usual electric stick standing on each side of the screaming banshee

" is this all they've got?" greg spat as he watched the two women whip the naked bashee mercilessly

this is a waste of effort and time, it seems he needs to do something more provocative to her .

he snapped the door open and signaled for the women to stop the punishment

he walked closer to her but maintained a safe distance from her ,who knows what she could do? nobody !, that's the point , he needs to be wary of her at the moment, the enemy whose weakness is known is better than the one whose weakness you know not

" sorry , to spoil your little party-" he said "- but we need to talk" he added as soon as he saw her open her eyes and glared at him ,

" why are you doing this?" her voice came out in whispers ,Greg almost rolled his eyes , she knew what he wanted and he knew what she wanted but still asking him that question is plainly dumb , he can't let her have her way, in his world he calls the shot and he knew how authorative people like her can be and heaven knows he can't afford to lose to anybody at this point in time

" simple , i want to subdue you ,make you do my biddings without questions "

" you know i can kill all of you right here and now " her eyes turned silver as she glared daringly at them with her lips curved upward ,Greg could feel the two women behind him tremble slightly in fear and shock ,he trained this fools to fear only him but a common threat made them shrink and cower just when he thought he trained them to the extreme ,disgraceful idiots!

" Really?? i dare you to try it " he glared at her disdainfully ,stupid fool thinking she have all the powers in the world to make threat , sleeping for years made her weak and vulnerable she is no less than a miserable human without her powers and he is going to ensure she will stay weak with limited powers

" what did you do to me ? " she shouted ,her chest rising and falling in rapid beat as if any minute from now she would explode and rain her wrath on the people in the room , his eyes rested on her bare breast for a moment before moving to her face

" nothing-" he replied with a clueless expression "-did we do anything to her ? " he turned his head to ask the other women and they shook their heads

" you see! we did nothing to you ,my sweet" he answered with a toothy smile which turned to a smirk , ohh yes, he did nothing much

" i .will. destroy. you .all " she drawled in slow syllables making the word sunk into their brains

" Okay " Greg echoed ,his smirked changed to a stoic expression without a traces"- you can come in now ,mademoiselle " immediately a woman in a black cloak stepped in elegantly and stood beside greg , she had that dark look that spoke of hatred

" i think i will leave you all to enjoy your ladies party" he took a step back with spread hands and bowed slightly " - you know what to do ,right?" he asked the cloaked woman who didn't reply but nodded, her gaze still on the naked girl chained to the wall.

" enjoy the party , sweet" he paused and flashed the women a smile before walking out of the room

as soon as he left the room , a loud pained wailing echoed loudly in the dungeon ,threatening to divide the place and drawing blood from everyone's ear

Greg strolled out of the dungeon with a knowing smile ,the blonde girl was no longer in her position instead a red haired girl is standing in her position ,greg smile widened the more he sure would have a wonderful night with a bit of fleshy body beneath him
