Pete looked at the sleeping Amira and said to the city lord,
"Don't hurt her... I already told you the truth "
The city lord said,
"Don't worry we will not torture her until she wakes up "
"And also we can't miss your turn "
The torturer then picked up a cleaver and started chopping of Pete's fingers one by one,
"Arghhhh... " "Arghhhhhhhhhhh... " Pete screamed as his fingers were chopped off,
After chopping off Pete's fingers, the torturer poured the liquid on his hands,
"Arghhhhh.... " Pete screamed again as his hands burned,
His skin on his hands was now half disappeared, even his muscles and veins were burned,
The city lord said,
"Tell me what happened to the person inside the carriage "
Pete said while enduring his pain,
"I.. di... didn't even saw the person "
The city lord angrily said,
"I will cut you down into pieces if you don't tell me the truth "
The city lord then nodded at the torturer and the torturer started removing Pete's shoes,
Pete looked at the torturer with a horrified look,
But the torturer gave him a gentle smile,
His gentle smile caused all short of emotions in Pete's mind,
As the torturer removed Pete's shoes, his eyes fell upon Pete's fingers on the floor,
His fingers were half turned into black gooey liquid,
This made the torturer confused and he thought,
'Is this the effect of the liquid... but this has never happened before '
But what the torturer didn't know that Pete's hands and legs were recreated through the dark energy when they were cut off by the spider,
And after being cut off, they were turning back into the dark energy,
The torturer said to the city lord,
"Look at his fingers lord, they have half turned into this gooey thing "
The city lord saw the fingers and asked Pete,
"Why is your fingers turning like this "
Pete looked at his chopped off fingers and was shocked by the seen,
"What is happening to my fingers "
Morsh said,
"Hey did you forget, I recreated your hands and legs when they were cut off by that spider in the forest"
Pete nodded and said,
"So what's happening to them now "
Morsh said,
"Well they are disappearing "
The city lord saw Pete talking to himself and said,
"You can't go insane this fast... we are not even the halfway through"
The torturer then started chopping Pete's toes,
"Arghhhh... " Pete screamed again and again with the pain,
The torturer then poured the liquid again,
The city lord said,
"Atleast tell me who you actually are and how do you know the king "
Pete quickly said,
"I am the hero... "
The whole room was surprised when Pete said that,
The guards turned to the city lord but the city lord was just blankly staring Pete,
After couple of seconds, the city lord said,
"Do you have any proof? "
Pete said,
"You can check my holy sword "
The city lord ordered a guard,
"Go get his sword from the dinning room "
The guard quickly headed up to the dinning room and returned with the dark holy sword,
He then gave the sword to the city lord,
The city lord stood up and said while holding the sword,
"If this is truly the holy sword then I will not be able to unsheathe it "
He then held the handle of the sword with one hand and sheath with the other,
He took a deep breadth and started pulling the sword out of the sheath,
The sword was pulled out a width of a needle when the city lord felt as if his soul was being sucked into the sword,
He quickly threw the sword away and looked at Pete with a horrified expression,
"You really are the hero "
Pete groaned with pain and said,
"Now release me "
The city lord just stared at Pete with the horrified expression for some time,
After that he said,
"If the king hears about my torture on the hero, he will kill me "
"But if I kill you, nobody will know about this "
Pete said,
"What are you talking about? "
"The king knows I am staying here so he will know something is wrong if I suddenly disappeared from here "
The city lord said,
"We will fake that you left after the breakfast "
The torturer puts the cleaver on Pete's neck,
Pete said,
"Please don't do this... I will not tell anyone I swear "
"And also people need a hero "
The city lord said,
"I don't care about the people... all I care about is me "
"So before you die, tell me what did you do to the person inside the carriage "
Pete said,
"I actually don't know... The person didn't even came out of the carriage "
Morsh said,
"Tell him that the dwarves inside the carriage were killed "
Pete was shocked when he heard this and said,
"What are you talking about... what dwarves and what killed "
The city lord pulled back the torturer and grabbed Pete's neck and said,
"So you knew there were dwarves inside the carriage "
"And what do you mean by killed "
Morsh said,
"Tell him that the four dwarves were killed by another dwarf "
Pete said,
"The four dwarves were killed by another dwarf "
The city lord fell down on his knees with tears falling from his eyes,
Morsh said,
"Why is he crying "
Pete groaned with pain and said,
"Why are you crying "
The city lord said,
"The love of my life was in that carriage and she was killed "
Morsh said,
"There were only male dwarves inside the carriage, unless he likes men "
Pete giggles with blood coming out of his mouth and said,
"Do you like men "
The city lord angrily said,
"Impudent... how dare you question my manhood "
Pete said,
"I am only asking because there were only dwarf males in that carriage "
The city lord said,
"The dwarven males and females looks alike, their females even have beards "
"You can't even distinguish if you see them first time "
Morsh thought,
'So that's why I didn't saw a single female in the dwarven city '
Pete said,
"Oh I didn't know that was the case but she was killed by another dwarf, so can you let me go "
The city lord said,
"I can't after chopping your fingers "
The city lord then ordered the torturer,
"Kill him "
The torturer slowly walked up to Pete and said,
"Our session was short but I enjoyed it while it lasted "
Pete said,
"Let me go... I can regrow my fingers so you don't have to kill me "
The torturer looked towards the city lord and the city lord said,
"I don't want to make a hero my enemy so you have to die "
He then pointed at Amira and said,
"And she will die with you "
Pete said,
"She is the Saintes of the temple, you sure you can get away with that "
The city lord's face turned pale when he heard this,
He thought for a moment and said,
"I can't kill a Saintes, but she is sleeping now and I can make up a story about you running away after she wakes up "
Morsh said,
"Let me take control of the body "
Pete said,
"How "
Morsh said,
"I will forcefully take control so just don't resist "
Pete groaned with pain and said,
"You sure you can defeat them "
Morsh said,
"I am better with words than you so you don't have to worry "
Pete said,
"Yeah you are right about that "
Morsh then flew out of his soul space through the hole and pulled back Pete's soul from the body,
Pete's soul was then pulled back to his soul space but now he can see what's happening outside,
The city lord said,
"The hero has gone insane, he is talking to himself now "
The fingers and the tooth started to regrow,
The city lord was shocked when he saw this,
Morsh opened his eyes and glared at the city lord while used fear skill,
'I don't remember from which monster I got this fear skill, but it surely is useful '
A chill ran down through the city lord's spine as he took a few steps back out of fear,
The torturer and the guards also took a few steps back,
Pete said,
"What did you do? Why are they stepping back all of a sudden "
Morsh smiled and said,
"They are stepping back because they see their death in me "
Pete said,
"What are you talking about "
The chains started to crack at that moment,
The city lord looked at the torturer,
The torturer was also surprised by the cracks on the chain and thought,
'How is this possible... these chains can even restrain master rank warriors for couple of hours '
Morsh broke the chains but didn't stand up and looked at the torturer and said,
"My shoes "
The torturer quickly picked up the shoes and puts them on Morsh's feet,
Morsh said,
"The sword "
The torturer quickly grabbed the sword and handed it to Morsh,
Morsh unsheathed the sword and cuts down the legs of the city lord and the guards except the torturer with one smooth swing of the sword,
He then cuts their hands before their legless bodies drops on the floor,
Their limbless bodies fell on the floor,
Morsh then untied Amira,
Pete said,
"How did you regrow fingers "
Morsh said,
"Did you just notice the fingers? "
Pete didn't replied,
Morsh then tied the torturer with the chains from Amira and said,
"Our meeting will not be short... you enjoyed enough, it my turn "
Morsh turned towards the limbless city lord and said,
"But the start is with the city lord "
Morsh first walked up to the guards, stabbed them one by one and absorbed their souls,
He then walks up to the city lord and said,
"How do you want to die "
But the city lord couldn't even talk because of the fear skill,
Morsh stopped the fear and the city lord screamed,
"Arghhhhhhh " "Please don't kill me.... "
Morsh smiled and stabbed him too absorbing his soul,
Pete said,
"How are you killing them so easily "
"Don't you feel anything in your heart "
Morsh sighed and said,
"The ache in your heart when you kill someone... I stopped feeling it my previous life "
Pete confusingly said,
"What do you mean "
Morsh said,
"Naive hero, I killed a lot of people in my previous life too, some of them were innocent too "
Pete was shocked when he heard this and said,
"How can this be.... you are lying right... if you are a criminal then how were chosen to be a hero "
Morsh cuts the finger of the torturer and said,
"I was not chosen to be a hero... I got summoned because of that bitch's mistake "
"Arghhhhh.... " The torturer screamed,
Morsh frowned and stabbed his sword through the torturer's mouth and absorbed his soul,
Pete angrily said,
"Stop killing... and who were you calling a bitch "
Morsh said,
"The bitch goddess that you saw first when you were summoned "
Pete's eyes widened with anger and he forcefully tried to take control over the body,
But as he was about to reach Morsh's soul, his powers were being sucked,
Pete quickly returned to his soul space and said,
"How are you taking my powers? "
