Suffering beyond death

He must have realized that I was not joking when he saw my eyes. Wendell was pale and stiff.

[It’s a lie… .. What happened to revenge according to the rule… ..!?]

[Ha ha. About that? You see, it was a lie to fool a traitor like you]

[……….!]

He currently showing the same face that I have when he told me “You really naive and stupid Raul?”. I looked into Wendell’s eyes very closely, unable to control my feelings of amusement.

[Hey, tell me. Now that you know you were cheated, how do you feel?]

[Kuh. Damned. You’re just stupid… ..!]

Can’t you forgive someone like me putting you through something humiliating?

[I get it, I get it. It’s very frustrating isn’t it?]

[Frustrated…..? I?]

[You have a “It’s so frustrating I could die” face. It is a feeling that I wanted to give you. I understand it really good]

[Don’t screw me… ..! Don’t compare me to you! I am a chosen person called a “prodigy”!]

Yes Yes. I don’t care about those arguments. I’ve heard it so many times in the past that my hates bled. Although in the past I did not realize that all that was for showing off.

[I was able to trick the traitor back. So from now on, we will enter the “Time of Retaliation” that goes beyond revenge]

[What do you mean?]

I grabbed Wendell by the chest and forced him to stand up.

[What are you doing!? Stop! Stop!]

[Stop screaming and start walking]

I pushed Wendell from behind. Losing his balance, he fell down the stairs of the amphitheater in a ridiculous way. He hit himself as he fell, and reached the end of the audience seats. I immediately floated Wendell’s body in the air.

[Guh… .. W-What’s wrong !?]

Of course, it was my magic. There was nothing to notice, and I threw Wendell into the center of the amphitheater. Don’t forget to drop it on a cushion so it doesn’t fall to the floor.

[What?]

Turning his neck to see what he had fallen into, Wendell raised a cry. After all, it was on Allingham’s naked corpse. For my part, I wouldn’t want to be on top of that disgusting thing. Wendell backed away hastily and got into position toward me.

[Oh, are you finally motivated? That’s the spirit]

[I thought it would be better to get out of this game if I had a chance. But… ..in this situation, it seems that I will have to fight]

[Do you think you can beat me? Back then, you were the second in the hero party, remember?]

[S-Shut up… ..!]

Making an expression as if a wound had been touched, Wendell yelled out a spell. How fast. A fire serpent appeared along with the sound of an explosion and coiled in the amphitheater.

[Hiiiii!]

[N-No It will burn us… ..!]

The demons screamed in fear at that huge snake that covered the amphitheater. To cast fire magic of the highest class, Wendell is seen to be acknowledging my abilities.

[Take this!]

The snake with a harsh noise came towards me. I tried to activate protection magic, but the barrier was breaking quickly.

『Hey, can you avoid this… ..!?』

Ada’s worried voice echoed in my head.

[Ahh. Maybe it’s difficult]

『”That can’t be…..”』

As I spoke to Ada, the barrier shattering along with a great sound, and my body was engulfed in fire in an instant.

『Kyaaaaa!』

I could feel the anguished Ada very closely.

[Haha, hahahaha… .. You’ve seen it! I am incredible! A wonder! I am very different from you!]

My whole body is eroded by a sensation that I don’t know if it’s from the heat or the pain. It was an explosion that shook me to the core. But–

[Well, you certainly are amazing]

[It’s I-impossible… .. Why didn’t you die !?]

Amid the burning flames, I started laughing.

[Hm ~? The reason is simple. Because I have decided that I still cannot die]

[W-What are you saying… ..?]

[It is up to me to live or die. I won’t let anyone else decide my ending. That’s why I got this great power]

A mysterious black swirl emerged from the palm of my hand. As the whirlpool grew out of the ground, it swallowed up the flame serpent, replacing it with a dragon that was larger than flames than Wendell.

[Time to extinguish your little flame]

[Y-You must be kidding… ..]

Wendell was surprised to see me with my arms outstretched.

[I wish you had mastered the magic of darkness]

[Don’t talk nonsense… ..that magic cannot be used unless you exchange your soul with the devil. No kidding the devil will do whatever it want with your soul after you die… ..in the first place, you cannot say that it is your own strength if you are depending on that power… ..]

[No matter the reason, anyone would accept it if it is to obtain power, right? As a result of denying that, you are now in trouble. Well now it’s my turn]

As I extended my hand to Wendell, I activated a spell.

[Uguu… .. Uohhhhhhhhhh! My magic power… ..my magic power is being absorbed… ..]

[Geh. What is this? Your magic power is very unpleasant]

[Ahh… ..Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

[Eh~? your already empty]

Hmm. Surprisingly it was very little. No, I wonder if the power I obtained is inexhaustible. Ha ha~. Wendell, whose magic power ran out, sat down on the ground.

[You can no longer cast magic now. What should I call the great wizard who cannot use magic?]

[Ah… ..ahh… ..ah… ..]

Wendell’s eyes widened. When they are completely cornered, all the garbage always put that face. This expression is my favorite. A burning joy was emerging from the bottom of my stomach.

Yes! This is the thrill that revenge gives me!

I sighed in ecstasy and stood in front of Wendell.

[Although, I was somewhat doubtful. You just betrayed me, so I started to think about how to make you suffer. It was always easy as I only gave back to them what they did. But, this time it wasn’t like that, was it?]

[Then you would have done the same this time too… ..!]

[Well, I don’t think it’s too much for the traitor to be betrayed]

Oh it’s true. I accidentally hit the palm of my hand.

[I came up with something very good! Allingham got a lot of revenge right? So I’ll imitate that]

[D-Don’t fuck with me! I didn’t do any of that!]

[Yes, but you supported it. Nobody went against him. For which you have part of the responsibility]

[That reason is crazy!]

[I don’t care. I just want you to suffer]

When I got out in front of Wendell, he looked at me pitifully.

[Why should I go through such miserable treatment !?]

[Well~ It was Allingham who came up with all of that, so if you want to complain, do it with him. Ah, but too bad he’s already dead. Ahahaha!]

[……..]

[You have to know how to choose who to work with. This is what happens when you only think about profit and loss —– alright, I think the first was stripping and washing]

[Uwaaa]

I tore up Wendell’s clothes the same way the demons did. He has a trained body so he’s not as bad as Allingham’s. I also know that he was doing bad things a bit while we were traveling using his good facial features and his body. Now that I think about it, with hints of that, why did my old self think he was a nice guy? His body and heart are rotten after all.

[Well, I’ll clean you up. Ah, but using the same deck brush that was used at Allingham would be boring. So I’ll add something of my own selection]

Along with a sound, a large deck brush appeared in my hand. Watching the brush part glow silver, Wendell was shocked.

[How about this brush? I did it with several large needles. It may hurt. Okay, let the cleaning begin ~]

As my memories of Wendell flashed through my head, I began to rub his skin.

[Hiii, it hurts, it hurts, stop it!]

Wendell’s skin was bloody in an instant.

[Ahh, it’s getting blood stained just as I’m cleaning. I’ll have to go over that part again]

[Ahhhhhhhhhh!]

[By the way, you really are stupid. Unlike the saint, your real body was not in the royal capital, so you were lucky not to get caught. But, you ran away thinking that I wouldn’t kill you]

[Agahhhhhh… ..!]

[Well, it didn’t matter where you had hidden, I would definitely have found you]

Wendell raised a cry when i rubbed the brush on his face. Ahh, his beautiful face is ruined.

[Speaking of which, it seems that there were some slaves who while they were being washed, they put their faces in a bucket full of water and died. Is there anyone who witnessed it ~?]

Dozens of demons raised their hands at my words.

[Well, it will have to be done the same way. But, I think just water won’t be enough]

When I activated my magic, I collected Allingham’s scattered blood and urine. But that was not enough, so I brought Allingham’s body, cut him up, and squeezed out all the blood that was left in his body. That was about half a cube.

[This must be enough to drown you, Wendell]

[Agah]

I grabbed his hair, lifted his bloody face, and put it inside the red bucket with force. Wendell is struggling desperately. It must be painful. Also, it’s not just blood, there’s urine mixed in too, so it’s gross.

[Come on, come on, I’ll let you breathe a little, so push yourself]

[Wow, augg, stop….!]

[Ahahahahaha! Yes, that face is the best!]

[Ugohh, huh, it hurts… ..]

[Well that true. The slaves also thought the same right?]

I raised his face several times, and I enjoyed his expression, but I got tired since it was the same reaction every time. This form of suffering is not very funny.

[Well then it’s looks like it’s time to kill you]

I froze the surface of the cube with Wendell’s face inside. Wendell, whose face is fixed on the thick ice due to magic, could not escape the blood and was struggling desperately.

Bubbles are created under the ice. You are trying to lift your face by holding the cube with both hands, but it is useless. Immediately, the bubbling momentum subsided and finally disappeared completely. His hands and feet were no longer moving. On the large bulletin board in the amphitheater, the words 【Kill Counter – 1】 were displayed.

Yes finally finished it! I was gonna finished it when I got home from work but I ended up falling asleep 🤣

Might do some slight changes later. Now then time to prepare to go to work again lol.
