…
Liam was screaming at the top of his lungs and thrashing around violently. The hot oil did a lot of damage, and the room’s healing spell couldn’t keep up with it, so Liam was always in pain.
Lith, at this time, just looked at him emotionlessly with his red eyes. His rage had still not calmed down. He still felt that the torture was too less and Liam hadn’t suffered enough.
After a few minutes, all of Liam’s injuries were healed, and he recovered. However, he was mentally exhausted and wanted nothing more than to end his life so that he would never have to endure such gruesome torture again. As a result, his mind was consumed by only one thought: suicide and escape.
Suicide seemed the only viable option to him currently. There was no other way. This was what was going on in Liam’s mind.
Lith walked closer to Liam after discovering that he had fully recovered, and while doing so, he willed the elements and a plier came flying towards him, which he caught.
He stared at Liam with his red eyes and said in a neutral tone with a smile, “too bad, you couldn’t hold your pain in.”
Liam once again peed his pants due to being scared of Lith. He wanted to get up and run away from him. Due to fear and nervousness, his heart was beating so fast that it seemed that it would come out of his chest anytime.
Lith smiled and asked in a neutral tone while looking at his fearful face, “scared?”
Liam didn’t respond. He didn’t even nod or dared to move an inch from the position he was in. Lith chuckled at his lack of response and went ahead and held his jaw. He pressed his hand a little and his mouth opened.
Lith brought the plier close to Liam’s teeth, but the latter tried to struggle this time. He violently struggled, however, it was of no use since he was sealed in his chair.
Placing the plier on one of Liam’s teeth, Lith pulled it out slowly, trying to cause the maximum pain to Liam.
“AAANNGGHHH”
Liam screamed in pain, his mouth wide open. Even though the pain wasn’t as bad as when his skin was fried in the sizzling hot oil, it was still enough to make him scream like a pig.
Lith was unfazed by Liam’s shout and began pulling his teeth out, one by one. Liam screamed and struggled as much as he could, but it was all in vain. His cultivation had been sealed, and he was now a mere mortal. Furthermore, Lith’s grip was so strong that he couldn’t even close his mouth to prevent him from pulling his teeth out.
Liam’s mouth was filled with his own blood. And his gums were damaged severely. Previously, if he was having any doubts about suicide, now all were gone. He wanted nothing but to die now. The pain had become too much.
Lith looked at the snot, tear and blood smudged face of Liam and smiled. He left Liam’s jaw and walked a little backward. He cleaned his hands, which had Liam’s blood on it and after doing so, he walked towards Liam again and said patting his head,
“Don’t worry. I’ll stop now. Everything’s over.”
Liam’s eyes opened wide as he heard Lith’s voice. Relief was visible on his face, but he wasn’t able to talk or express it. He felt happiness in a way he had never felt before. He looked at Lith with tears dripping down from his eyes and was so happy that he almost broke down.
Looking at such a reaction, Lith was happy too. He let Liam feel his happiness for a few seconds and then walked towards a table and pulled it towards where Liam was. Coming close to him again, he patted his shoulder and said playfully,
“Just kidding.”
Liam froze hearing this. He turned his head up and looked at Lith, only to see that Lith had a crazed s.a.d.i.s.t smile on his face. Liam’s heart beat faster again and anxiety, nervousness and great fear emerged once again.
This was what Lith wanted to see, and he felt happy watching him suffer like this. Lith took two cables from the table and attached them to Liam’s head. The cables were attached to a high voltage battery.
Liam saw it and screamed, “NUAAANGHH! NUAAANGHH! NUAAANGHH!”
Lith didn’t bother with his screaming and went about his business. He walked to the battery present and turned the switch on.
Czhwibik!
The sound of electricity running was heard and the next thing Lith saw was Liam shaking crazily and his eyes were rolled back. His hair, which had been healed, got raised high and seemed pointy. Foam was coming out of his mouth as his body shook crazily.
“Hmm, not enough.” Lith muttered softly and increased the voltage.
The area where the cables were connected got burnt. Liam got violent seizures as electricity pa.s.sed through his body. His heart beat irregularly; Muscles all over his body were spasming and his body looked no different from how a person from a slime race would be while undergoing transformation.
His vision blackened, hearing stopped, and he felt numb all over while shaking violently. Liam was almost on the verge of losing consciousness but due to the room being special, he was just on the verge but never truly unconscious.
He turned off the power and waited for Liam to recover. Lith approached him when he recovered a few minutes later. He pulled out the talismans that had kept him in his place and dragged him out of his chair with his collar.
He held Liam like how one would hold their duffle bag while going to the gym and walked out of the torture room. He threw Liam on the ground and muttered calmly,
“Let’s end this.”
