**************************
Jack tortured Alen, he broke his bones and tore holes in his body. He did it frequently while also healing him. Alen let out blood-cuddling screams while Jack laughed and found amusement in his suffering.
While this was happening Chris and some of the guards took the opportunity to take advantage of the girls in the group, they tore their armor and various pieces of clothing underneath.
"Chris what is happening!?" One of the girls who had her clothes torn apart asked Chris with tears in her eyes. Chris approached the girl slowly as some of the guards restrained her arms and legs, the girl pleaded as she struggled to get free of her attacker's grip.
The guards showed no mercy as they relentlessly violated the vulnerable heroines, to make matters worse Lamis's barrier also suppressed the use of magic, although skills were still available. the heroines didn't have any that were strong enough to get them out of this situation.
Although under Lamis's enchantment, the male heroes were still conscious of their actions and everything that unfolded in their surroundings. But above all else, their survival dominated their thoughts. As Lamis got bored of watching the heroes kill each other she decided to use some of them for her experiments.
She cast various spells on them, the ones hit by the spells had begun to experience change within their bodies. One of the heroes could feel his body inflate from the inside out, suddenly parts of his body filled with air rapidly grew as the pressure looked for a way out of the body until eventually, the hero burst to scatter his innards all over the other heroes.
Lamis continued to do experiments for her spells using the other surviving members as toys. Alen shut his eyes tight and blocked out the depravity, but Jack seized upon Alen's moment of vulnerability and unleashed a savage beating upon him.
"I told you not to close your eyes, this is happening all because of you." He hissed. Relishing in Alen's agony
"You just had to play the hero; you know that little speech you gave back in the forest. I liked that, you managed to turn useless garbage into fighters, but well struggling against basic beast isn't enough you know."
"And since you don't want to keep your eyes open, I guess I'll have to do it for you." With a flicker of his wrist, Jack grabbed a small blade from its sheath, using it to gouge out Alen's left eye. Alen writhed in agony, kicking and screaming as Jack savored the brutality of the act, reveling as thick streams of blood oozed from Alen's destroyed socket.
Tears streamed down Alen's face from the one good eye he had left, the savagery seemed to stretch on endlessly, to the point where eternity would have felt like an escape. Yet in reality, it had only been a couple of hours.
Alen struggled against the chains that bound him to the ground, wishing he could do something to stop the chaos unfolding before his eyes. "Hey, Lamis give me a hand with my little toy would you," Jack said.
Lamis waved her staff around and cast an enchantment spell to take control of some of the heroes around the area, their eyes went blank as if there was no soul in their bodies only a shell. As they continued facing their problem the enchanted ones turned to Alen.
"This is all your fault," they muttered. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!"
These words hit Alen hard as he watched one of the Heroes with his neck cut open and bleeding out utter these words over and over again.
"It's not!" Alen said. But was quickly silenced by Jack who hit him square in the jaw. The ones alive continued to utter these words over and over again causing Alen to close his eyes and try to ignore what was happening.
But every time he closed his eyes Jack would hit him and torture him over and over again. Forcing him to endure both physical and mental pain as he watched the heroes be used as experimental tools while the guards continued their assault on the female heroes.
All the chaos was too much for someone to bear, but every time he slipped into unconsciousness, Jack's voice would bring him back. "Wake up, Alen," He would say, the coldness in his tone making Alen shudder. "You don't want to miss this. It's all for you."
Alen's mind raced with thoughts of how he could escape, how he could somehow free himself and the heroes from Lamis and the others. But with his arm missing and with no magical powers to talk about, he knew it was a hopeless cause. For now, all he could do was watch as the great heroes and their followers take joy in the suffering they were causing to others.
Alen's heart was full of despair as he bore witness to the brutal chaos around him, the heroes used as test subjects and killing each other for one's entertainment, while their female counterparts were being ruthlessly pummeled by the guards.
Overwhelmed by the horror of it all, He yearned to shut his eyes and stifle the gut-wrenching screams and thuds of violence, but every time without fail Jack would brutalize him and punish him for it.
As his mind spiraled, he couldn't help but question how he, a college graduate had become caught in the crosshairs of this catastrophe. And even if he could unravel the mystery of the predicament, was there truly a way out?
The only hope Alen had was in the possibility that Princess Lily wouldn't want anyone except for the great heroes to know of this event. This brought hope in him that at least all the guards in the room would die as well.
What felt like an eternity had gone by before Lamis placed her staff down and waved her hand casting a spell killing all her new toys. "It's time to go home you filthy bastards" Lamis addressed Chris and Jack.
With a flick of her wrist, she managed to kill all the male heroes she was playing with except for Alen and the girls.
'Was that a skill?' Alen thought to himself as he was amazed Lamis could do magic without any incantations. But he didn't have time to focus on Lamis as he saw a glimmer of hope.
'How long has it been, a few days? maybe' Alen thought as he waited for Jack to turn around before he activated his skill replica, to his surprise he had a skill. The skill to permeate through matter he had borrowed this skill from Lucy when he went to take the princess and run away. He had completely forgotten.
But his skill only stored a copied skill for one day, the fact that he still had the skill meant that all this torture happened within a day.
The guards picked up their equipment ready to regroup and head out, but Lamis raised her staff and a vibrant green circle appeared on the ground around them. "The princess wishes for this matter to be lost, unfortunately for all of you, it means death." Lamis said in a sweet and gentle voice before she finished the incantation."
"Summon 5th-tier undead," she said, slamming her staff to the ground and a group of ten or so zombies emerged from the ground kicking up the dirt and rubble around them.
"Think of this as karma's punishment for defiling such beautiful young ladies" Lamis with a smile on her face and a kick in her step and she, Jack, and Chris left the building sealing the exit with rubble.
Now Alen who was still chained, the assaulted girls who just lay there on the floor with no will to fight still traumatized by what happened to them, and the 25 or so guards were the only living people in this sealed building.
The zombies attacked viciously at anything living, and since the majority of the guards were still getting their equipment ready, they weren't prepared for the attack as most of them were jumped and bitten by the zombies.
Some of the undead went and attacked the naked girls laying on the floor, as they didn't fight back, they were easily bitten, and the pain caused them to scream. Some of the zombies had gone to the corpses of the Heroes Lamis used as toys.
The guards steadily backed away as some were able to grab their weapons and fight off some of the undead comings their way, the only problem was these were a high tier undead meaning they were stronger and faster, and some have even been heard to be able to use skills. Alen waited for the perfect time to escape and seeing the guards seeing pushed back and the number of zombies increasing, he knew he had little time.
Suddenly a roar was heard loud and vicious, not only that but a sudden chill was sent down everyone's spine as the energy in the room completely changed. Two of the girls that had been bitten had completely turned by now, standing up, their bodies had changed color and turned pale, but the noticeable features were their hair levitated from the sheer power they possessed alone, their entire body covered in green vain like markings and their eyes lit up Yellow.
