But right now I didn't have time to fully enjoy torturing this old bastard, so I just walked up to this pathetic scum who was now begging me.
-Y-Your Majesty w-w-wait!
But without waiting for what he was going to say, I landed my fist on his face. With a characteristic crack, I broke his nose with the first blow, the next blow hit lower, and I knocked out his tooth, which broke off a little bit into my skin, but I didn't even notice, adrenaline and rage clouded my eyes, descending in a bloody veil. Only when he looked more like a pig than a man and a mess of teeth, snot and blood was lying on the floor, I stopped and gave my order to my companions, nodding in the direction of the boy hanging on hooks, who was unconscious.
- Find Olisia and bring her here, I doubt that he is the only one in this house in such a state.
- Your Majesty, I'll take care of it!
Almeria was called. I nodded and left the room. Alex took care of the Marquis and dragged him outside, where he handed him over to the protection of the team accompanying us. Karina and Olivia and I went through all the rooms on the second floor, but found only servants who were shaking in horror, after my order they obediently ran out of the residence and surrendered until the circumstances were clarified. I didn't meet any sons, daughter, or wife of the Marquis here. Not even the Marquis' henchmen met, that Level 3 assassin was clearly not the only defender in the Marquis' house, from among those who served him, knowing about his vicious nature. On the third floor, everything was the same as on the second. The attic was completely abandoned and apart from cobwebs and dust deposits we found nothing there. In the whole building, we did not explore only the first floor and the basement. When we went down to the first floor, Alex was already waiting there, holding some guy on his knees by the neck, and Almeria in the company of a red-haired beauty in the robes of a clergyman. It was Saint Olisia — she was a priest of the 4th level of the Ailill Adair church, who was a suspect in my relocation to this world. I nodded to her, greetings, she did the same, not obliged to bow because of her high rank in the church.
- Almeria, take the Saint to the sacrifice.
- As you command, Your Majesty!
After the girls left, I asked my butler.
- Alex, who is this?
- This is the second son of Marquis Freud, he was in one of the rooms on the first floor and did not know what was happening. I grabbed it when I was inspecting the first floor.
- Give it to the people outside, and when you get back we'll go check the basement.
Alex went out, and I looked at my companions. Olivia was relatively normal, but I noticed that she was a little uncomfortable being here. And Camila was more affected by what was happening, she had no idea that people could have such a cruel nature. But I did not try to calm her down, she is older than me, and although she has little experience, she will cope. She must! What kind of special forces general is she without a healthy dose of cynicism? Cynicism in general is very useful in a certain amount, not for society, but for a person — it will be easier for him to live. Soon, Alex returned, and I told him to lead us to the basement. He knew the layout of the mansion better than anyone, yet it was he who was collecting information. The descent to the basement turned out to be in a not very obvious place — in the toilet of the master bedroom, which only confirmed that something strange was happening there. The basement was fairly well lit and in no way differed in decoration from the rest of the house. But what we immediately noticed was numerous guards, that is, bubbles with experience points. I have ordered my companions not to engage unless I am attacked from the outside. I dealt with them pretty quickly.
I'm still a little unused to using magic in combat. As a player, I've always fought as a fighter. And, like Abel, I didn't have enough experience, mostly doing research, not fighting. Because of this, the contribution from magic in battles was lower than from my actions as a fighter, and therefore I gained more experience as a fighter. In general, I got 300 XP as a fighter and 150 as a magician. There is nothing left until the 2nd level of the Fighter, perhaps already here, in the Marquis' mansion, I will be able to gain the missing experience points. I still had no idea how much experience it would take to raise the level of a Magician to 3rd. When I received notifications about the experience increase, I couldn't help smiling, which made my escorts wonder if I was crazy. Passing on, we stopped in front of a massive door, the smell of blood oozed from it. There was a suspicion that the slaves and the remaining members of the Marquis Freud family were here, so we took a short break to mentally prepare. Still, who knows how terrible a picture we will see inside? Even if both I and the system considered me a sociopath, I am still not devoid of simple human compassion.
I looked at my companions, and they nodded, gathering their strength, and I pushed the door open, revealing a terrifying sight. The room behind the door had a cylindrical shape and cages were built into the walls, with massive bars, behind which people were hiding in groups in terror. Only the central part of the room was illuminated, where there were 5 people — 3 girls, 1 guy and ... I do not know... the victim… On a metal table, something lay chained, but it no longer resembled a man, I could even think that it was some kind of monster, the shape of the creature seemed too strange to me, but as soon as I opened the door, this creature, even being in agony, from being cut with a knife by one of the girls, raised his head and looked into my eyes. Those eyes! Human! I don't believe a monster would be able to make such a look. Four torturers also turned to me, and they were kind of surprised, I don't know. When I saw what was happening here, a bloody veil had already covered my eyes, and without hesitating for a second, I moved forward.
I don't remember exactly what happened next. I came to my senses only when I crushed the head of three of the four bastards with my bare hands. Don't get me wrong, I didn't spare the fourth creature — Karina shot at her, piercing her kneecaps with her arrows — apparently so that she would suffer. Right! In vain, I killed my part so quickly! But never mind, I will torture this scum for a long time! Only the girl who cut the victim with a knife remained alive. I approached her with a smile on my face. She crawled up in tears and began to beg, recognizing me.
- Your Majesty, Have Mercy! I agree to everything, just spare me! Please! I can be your toy if you want!
My smile twitched nervously with anger, irritation, disgust and something else that I couldn't even understand. And I answered.
- Oooooh, you will be my toy! You wiiiiiiiiill! I'll play with you so much that death will seem like a whim to you!
Her face was distorted with horror, but it wasn't enough for me, and I stepped on her shot knee to add to her torment.
- Your Majesty, take your time! If you overdo it, then "it" can die from pain shock without experiencing everything we can offer her!
Said Alex, who came up to me, who was now dripping with bloodlust.
-Heh, even he failed!
I answered in my mind, after which I moved away from the scum that was lying on the floor, sobbing, after all, Alex is right! We need to create ideal conditions to properly vent my anger. Instead of this creature, I approached the man who was lying on the table. As I got closer, I was finally able to see what had been done to him. Three more pairs of arms were sewn to the body, and there was some kind of stone on the chest. I immediately realized — a chimera! Although I have not seen such chimeras in the game, but it is clear right away. The chimera looked at me and mumbled something, unable to speak because of the cut-off tongue, but I immediately understood what it meant, you can see it in the eyes.
-Are you sure you want to do this?
I asked, taking the blade out of its sheath, the chimera nodded. I raised the blade and slashed down, strengthening with magic, separating the head from the case and giving peace.
At the same time, a series of notifications rang out.
[You have killed a Level 4 Experimental Chimera! 2000 Fighter XP received, 2000 Mage XP received, 80% contribution amount.]
[You have reached level 2 as a fighter! Attention, thanks to the effect of the title [Reincarnation of the God of War], new skills have been obtained!]
[You have reached level 3 as a magician!]
