Chapter 173: A scene from hell
The beast cried out in pain, as its eyes rolled back and blood began to come out from its nose, it fell to the side and died after a few moments.
Seeing this, the rest of the beast became even more angrier, they violently charged towards Jayden, wanting to kill him immediately.
Jayden could see the pain in the eyes of the rest of the beasts, his grin widened as he saw that his plan was working. Then he launched a mental attack aiming at over ten beasts at the same time.
*SCRIEEEEEEEEEEEEK*
*KIIEEEEEEEEEEE*
All ten beasts began to roll on the ground, screaming in pain, as blood began to flow out of their noses and mouths.
The effect of the mental attack was visible on the rest of the beasts too, it seemed they were all suffering. Then Jayden attacked all the beasts with his mental energy.
The entire place was filled with loud screeches and cries of the beasts. They were all furiously waving their heads around, hitting whatever was near. Many of them were killed by the attacks from other beasts.
…
Within a single minute, except for the spider beast, all the beasts died. Jayden looked at the last beast which looked drunk, as it walked unsteadily towards Jayden.
” That was easy. ” Jayden muttered. Then he summoned Nether flames and threw them at the spider.
The giant spider tried to resist at first, but with its mind weakened it wasn’t able to put up a good fight, within seconds it died too.
” ABSORB ”
Jayden absorbed the energy from all the dead bodies of the beasts, then he looked in the direction of the beast tamer and flew towards him.
He wasn’t absorbing the energy yet and just stored it with the rest of the energy in his body.
Within a single minute, Jayden reached the place where the beast tamer was hiding at. But because of all the torture, he died, and it seemed he suffered much more than what those beasts went through.
The place around him looked like a mess, as if he too was hitting his head around, a pool of blood formed around him on the ground.
” I didn’t think he would die so easily, whatever I already got the location of the place where he came from. ” Jayden said to himself and flew towards the cave he saw in the giant spider’s memories.
The place was a little far away from Jayden’s current location, since he didn’t want to alert the enemies and wanted to observe everything silently, Jayden teleported himself near the cave.
He hid his presence and stood on top of a tree, then he observed everything, the entire place gave eerily ominous feelings to him. Just after a glance his eyes widened in shock, as he stared at everything unfolding in front of him.
…
Outside the cave, over thirty kids around the age of 13 to 17, and over sixty adult men and women were carrying something from inside and dumping it in a big hole some distance away from the cave.
All the kids and adults looked as if they hadn’t eaten for a few weeks, their skin was tightly sticking to their bones and they looked as if there was no meat in their body.
Their faces were extremely pale, their bodies were covered with cuts and bruises from head to toe. Young boys and girls had long marks of tears over their cheeks, rolling down from their lifeless eyes.
Their clothes looked as if they had been wearing them for a few years, none of them were wearing any shoes or slippers.
Even if their feet were pierced by spikes, they’d just kept moving, showing no emotion at all.
There were even old people who were all above seventy, they were picking up strange types of plants and then putting them in baskets. Then the kids were taking those baskets inside the cave.
In the big hole, where they were dumping their waste, many plants could be seen, but what stood out between them were the body parts of humans.
On closer inspection, the dead bodies of kids, adults and old people could be seen lying in there, all the bodies were so badly damaged that they couldn’t even be called human.
They looked as if someone had thrown them in a tub full of acid, and then sliced turn with a knife. Even while doing all this, not even a single ounce of emotion could be seen in the eyes of anyone there.
The sound of coughing constantly reverberated around the cave, soon a man wearing a light brown coloured robe walked out of the cave, at first he started shouting at the kids, then taking out a long stick he hit a little child that looked 14 barely.
The kid showed no expression of fear or pain, he simply stood up and again began to carry the plants inside.
The middle-aged man in the robe laughed as if showing his superiority, and then he walked towards the group of old men and began to beat them.
After that, with a mocking expression, he just turned around and walked into the cave.
…
Jayden observed everything, he was barely holding himself back from going there and annihilating everyone.
Forcefully suppressing his anger, Jayden used his Void skill on the people there to look into their memories, soon their memories began to rush in his mind.
******
A little girl was running in front of her house, playing with her big brother, both of them laughed as the big brother chased her.
” Come inside and eat first, today I’ve made your favourite dish. Your father worked extra hard to buy the meat for your birthday. ” A woman in her early thirties said, as she looked adoringly at her six year old daughter.
” Yayyyy!!! Thwank uuuu mummaaaa ” The little girl jumped upside down and hugged her mother. She finally got to eat her favourite dish after five months.
Then all three of them walked inside, where a man who looked extremely tired was sitting near the plates, that were placed on the ground.
” Happy birthday, my daughter. ” the man said enthusiastically, as he placed the dishes full of meat in front of his children.
Without taking any at all, the pair of husband and wife gave all the meat to both the little children, who began to eat it as if they were eating for the first time in their lives.
All the fatigue the middle aged man was feeling washed away as he saw the delighted expressions on their faces.
*BANG*
” Aaaaaaaaaaah p-please spare my sonnnn- noooooo ”
” Ugghhhhhhhh h-help anyone ahhhhhhh- ”
Soon they heard loud noises from outside, and both the kids immediately stood up and ran to hide behind their parents.
The man patted the heads of his son and daughter with a smile, trying to act calm. He stood up and walked outside, but what he saw there made his heart jump in fear.
Immediately running back inside, he took both his kids in his arms and looked at his wife:
” T-There are bandits outside, they’re k-killing everyone. Let’s run away from here. ”
The woman clutched his clothes, and as a feeling of dread gripped her heart, she nodded and began to follow her husband.
They hid from the eyes of the bandits and slowly tried to escape, but there were just too many bandits and a martial artist was also there, wearing a light brown robe.
It was impossible for them to escape, just after taking a few steps they were surrounded by various bandits.
” Take the women, men and the boy. Kill the girl, she is too young to work. ” one of the bandit said and ran towards other villagers.
Hearing his words, the father tightly hugged his children and wanted to escape. But a kick hit him from behind, throwing him and the kids away.
” Uwaaaaaaah mummmmaaaaaaa ” the little girl began to cry, as she fell away from her father.
The woman ran towards her, as she ignored the bandit in front of her, but she was just too weak, one bandit hit her head, knocking her unconscious immediately.
” Sob Moooom, daddddd sob, my leg hurts. ” the young boy cried, holding his broken leg.
