Chapter 494 - Prelude To Horror

Draco carried Local Lord with Eva back to an area around Vita City State. They originally wanted to use the Aether Hall, but decided against it for various reasons. Draco also refrained from using his Noble's Residence in Cario City because anything could happen.

They could ship him to either location later, but right now, it was party time. As such, they found a nice cave in the side of a huge mountain and entered it.

Satisfied, Draco placed Local Lord down as he snapped his fingers to wake the fellow up. Local Lord came to slowly, wondering what the hell had happened for him to have passed out.

He suddenly remembered and jumped to his feet with wariness and anger in his eyes, but whatever he wanted to say got stuck in his throat when he saw Eva.

It was like his whole body got struck by lightning and his breathing became sparse. He couldn't believe nor fathom how such a beautiful woman could exist in this world, but more than that, he couldn't believe how crazily his blood boiled.

A voice all over his body kept screaming in hate and desire, pushing Local Lord to break all restraints and force himself upon her, threatening him that unless he did so he would never know any peace. Such a covetous aura was a product of his bloodline that he had long suffered from since childhood, but it had never reached this degree.

"W-Who are you…?" Local Lord could barely squeeze out under his erupting emotions.

Eva smiled thinly, her blood-red lips making Local Lord shake. "You don't know? Can't even recognize your fellow prodigy, hm?"

Suddenly, Local Lord realized that aside from her looks, she was radiating a certain aura… wait, this was a bloodline aura from the Amaterasu lineage! And so potent?

She must be Eva Reiwa of the Amaterasu Lineage, their prodigy, and his destined plaything!

Realizing this, Local Lord became a lot calmer as his face showed a lewd smile. "Haha, in the end, you couldn't resist the call of this c.o.c.k, hm? Don't worry, if you quickly strip and shake that ass of yours, I shall show you a good time."

Eva's lips twitched, truly shocked by how stupid this fellow was compared to the future Local Lord. The one from the future still gave her the chills while this one made her facepalm.

She turned to Draco. "Should we just get on with it? I feel like talking to him any further will just deal more damage to me than we could ever do to him."

Draco chuckled. "I agree."

Suddenly, Local Lord remembered Draco's presence and gazed over at him. The usual disdain he had mustered for Draco was now openly shown in his eyes until they widened in utter shock and horror.

'NO! HOW CAN THIS BE?! HOW CAN THIS BEEE?!?' Local Lord roared in his mind with fear, only now coming to understand the situation he was really in.

The moment he sensed that aura from Draco, he didn't need to dig deep to know who it belonged to, the endless hatred and subtle fear in his blood alone told him who Draco was.

The prodigy of the Lucifer Lineage and his greatest enemy!

But his bloodline was supposed to be sealed!

They had paid a great price back then to force the Lucifer Lineage into sealing their own prodigy and sending him out, just to allow Ao Shangtian to grow!

Now, not only did he discover that the supposed wastrel prodigy's bloodline had been unsealed, but he was even paired with Eva, which was the worst possible situation for all Lineages in the Pangu Alliance!

This was literally a life-or-death critical point for them!

'No, I must escape and let them know! I have to flee!" Local Lord thought with a panic, all his c.o.c.kiness vanishing in less than a second.

In terms of prowess, he could handle either Draco or Eva alone, but never the duo together.

If Local Lord were to be likened to Superman, Draco would be Doomsday and Eva would be Darkseid. Against either Doomsday or Darkseid, Superman was capable of either beating them back or flee if he wanted to, but if the two were to work together, he could only obediently lay in his coffin six feet under.

Draco and Eva read Local Lord mind easily as his bloodline had no defense against mental attacks, only granting Local Lord endless physical prowess in terms of strength, defense, and regeneration.

They both chuckled, and Draco simply cast a spell that bound Local Lord. The fellow roared and tried to break free, but Eva walked over and pushed him against the wall.

Using the special tools Draco had created for this day, she pierced four rods into each of Local Lord's two arms and legs, pinning him to the wall as he screamed in pain.

｢Binding Rod – Miscellaneous (4)

Rank: Legendary

Durability: 1,000,000/1,000,000

Effects:

Passive 1 – Sharpness: The item is able to pierce into any living thing, but does not deal numerical damage.

Passive 2 – Magnetism: The item sticks to any surface that it pierces through after the first passive is activated, unable to be removed unless the one who used the item wills it.

Active 1 – Recall: Send out a signal to the rods, allowing them to detach from the pierced target and return to the hands of the user. No cooldown.

Active 2 – Fortify: Harden the rods in the case of an assault in order to break out the person locked by them. Increases the durability of the rods by 1,000% for 3 hours. Cooldown: 6 hours.

Description: A set of binding rods made by Grandmaster Draco, fusing Legendary blacksmithing, enchanting and magic. Their purpose is to imprison any target against a surface, allowing the user to either seal them or punish them in that time.｣

｢Binding Rods – Set Equipment (4 pieces)

Rank: Legendary

Effect;

- With 2 pieces equipped: +500% durability

- With 3 pieces equipped: Grants the passive skill 'Power Drain'

- With 4 pieces equipped: Grants the passive skill 'Sealing'｣

｢Power Drain – Passive skill

Effect: Sap all statistical resources (HP, Mana, Stamina, Focus, Willpower, Concentration etc) to the lowest possible limit, while using that energy to power the Binding Rods.｣

｢Sealing – Passive skill

Effect: Maintain the state of a pierced target in perpetuity. They will suffer no numerical damage but their power will never grow or regenerate henceforth.｣

"No, what is this?! Why is my power weakening…?" Local Lord roared with confusion, then muttered with shock.

It was fine if his Stamina and HP were drained as they were just data in the game, but he also felt his bloodline energy being swallowed. If it weren't for various reasons, Local Lord was certain his bloodline source might also have been sucked away by these damn rods.

This horrified him, as he had never once in his life experienced the loss of his bloodline's ever-potent power. Like a wealthy man who had all his assets seized so he could no longer dine at Burj Khalifa, Local Lord felt like he lost everything.

However, this was only the start of his endless nightmare. Draco and Eva locked their left hands together, then placed their right on each of Local Lord's temples.

As they closed their eyes, Local Lord roared with fear, scared of what they would do to him next. Draco simply chuckled and replied nonchalantly before focusing.

"Relax, we're just giving this whole event meaning."

Then, the Evil Duo channeled their psychic abilities to the fullest, especially Mind Control. Eva and Draco poured out all the knowledge they had about the future timeline and Local Lord's actions and personality, or at least, as much as they could based on what they knew about him.

Local Lord who was receiving a huge rush of information began to cry out, his face displaying the intense pain he felt. Unlike Draco and Eva who had enhanced minds and could handle huge loads of information, Local Lord was barely up to standard.

However, the rods prevented him from dying or disconnecting, so the duo did not hold back. After 20 minutes, they let go of Local Lord who was bleeding from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Despite this, he began laughing while coughing in pain, until his laugh reverberated around the whole cave with madness. When he raised his head, that former stupid look in his eyes was gone, replaced by a sharper one.

"No wonder you grew so fast! No wonder you two ended up together! Haha, you had to live off the generosity of some random deity to win against me, huh?" Local Lord taunted them with a smirk.

However, his face warped when he saw that Draco and Eva were happy hearing these words come out of his mouth. "What the hell is wrong with you two?"

Draco clapped his hands with glee. "Well, us 'repaying' you for everything you've done to us would have been utterly dissatisfactory and pointless if it had been the old you, because you would never understand why we would go so far. You would feel indignant and defiant, thinking that we were just bullying you."

Eva continued from there. "But now, we have artificially recreated the future you and you mimic him about 99% from speech, to mannerism and thoughts, which is the best as we could get. In other words, the current you will understand why we'll make you suffer, you will be able to feel regret for your own actions as well as self-loathing, allowing you to rightfully lament your own ill-gotten fate."

Local Lord froze as his entire body felt like it had been plunged in cold ice. Unlike the previous him who had been ignorant, the new version Draco and Eva had forcibly created using their powers and memories was much more insightful.

He understood now that the torment they would put him through would be beyond anything anyone could ever expect, precisely because of how he was now. If their attempt had failed, they would have likely still have tortured, but it would not be as potent for the reasons they already stated.

The Evil Duo saw that Local Lord understood his own position now and Draco placed a hand on his shoulder and brought his face close, whispering.

"Do you understand how f.u.c.k.i.e.d you are right now?"

Eva giggled playfully. "He does I bet. So, shall we begin?"

Draco nodded. "Of course. Let me just make some final preparations."

Draco took out three potions from his inventory. He shook the three bottles lightly, giving Local Lord enough time to check their details.

｢Sensitivity Increase – Consumable

Rank: Legendary (100% effectiveness)

Effect: This potion increases the physical sensitivity of the consumer, allowing them to experience all stimuli 1,000% stronger for 3 hours.｣

｢Concentration Fortification – Consumable

Rank: Legendary (100% effectiveness)

Effect: This potion focuses the concentration of the consumer, allowing their minds to focus on a single subject/issue at the expense of all else for 3 hours.｣

｢Consciousness Protection – Consumable

Rank: Legendary (100% effectiveness)

Effect: This potion protects the consciousness of the consumer in a bubble, preventing them from passing out or suffering any serious mental damage for 3 hours.｣

Local Lord began struggling greatly, screaming with fear and hatred. "RELEASE ME! LET ME GO NOW! PLEASE, I PROMISE TO NEVER DISTURB YOU AGAIN!"

His reaction to the potions was understandable, as anyone would rather die than have to drink these potions and experience what came after. The first one would make him far more sensitive, yet this went for pleasure as well as pain, making his torture session 10x worse.

The second one would eliminate all distractions from his mind, allowing him to focus on nothing but the pain, preventing him from utilizing any means he might have to distract himself from the pain.

The third was the most fearsome. It practically killed the last bit of hope that lay in his heart, that their torture would cross a threshold and cause his mind to fail, allowing him to disconnect and regenerate outside, thereby allowing him to escape.

His mind would be safe and no matter how intense things got, he would remain awake and fully focused to experience it all. For the next 3 hours, they would allow him to feel enough pain to kill a man 4,000 times over, without granting him any chance of the sweet release of unconscious.

The next chapter is horrific. It is not a joke. Do not read if you do not have a sick and twisted mind.

I'm not joking, skip the next chapter if necessary.
