BXBX NOVEL Chapter 251 Interesting And Cruel
Having been overtaken by Seung who wanted to keep his lead, Seth was now once more following behind the man, the low roars of the beast which had once reverberated around the camp quickly dying down
As they moved, Seth observed Seung whose steps while not as stiff and boring as Salap, still contained a certain amount of disciple and battle readiness.
Taking his eyes off a man who was bound to be one of his victims, Seth looked at the somewhat interesting and grim environment he had walked to.
At first, Seth had assumed the encampment to be a small circular one with the commander's tent in the middle, but Seung had kept leading him forwards for almost three minutes.
With how far and deep Seung had sled Seth into the encampment, Seth had been harboring doubts that he was being led into a trap, but that thought only lasted until he passed by a certain red tent and was ushered into a world of cruelty.
Past this point, all Seth could see were dozens of red tents, and from these red tents the horrifying screams erupted, screams that reminded Seth of the ones he had heard when he and Irene had been exiting Monwac city.
The smell of rust and iron hit Seth hard, Seth was unable to stop his nose from twitching, and then when they walked a few steps into this grim section of the camp, Seth's eyes were exposed to the image of a man in a red circle.
The man was stripped naked, lying flat with his back to the ground and his hands and legs spread apart and pinned to the ground.
Seth could see him looking around with fear, tears fully pouring out of his eyes, and when he caught Seth's gaze, his hoarse voice couldn't help but sound out.
"Kill me" he begged
Seth could see the man's deep desire to die and escape what was to come, but unfortunately for the man, there was nothing Seth could do for him at the moment.
"I apologize for the inconvenience, this was the shortest route to get to Commander Zuroc, come this way, and let's leave this horrid atmosphere" Seung's voice sounded.
Though Seth couldn't see Seung's face seeing as the man was in front of him, Seth was up to 90% sure that there was a smirk on the man's face.
Most likely wishing to intimidate him with their armies cruelty and savagery, Seung had intentionally brought Seth to this part of the camp, and if Seth wasn't wrong, then that had also been his reason for bringing him into the camp through the spot habited by their beasts.
"No need to apologies, I'm quite interested in what is going to happen, let's watch till the end," Seth said, planting his feet on the ground and turning to face the restrained naked man.
Seung was taken aback by Seth's bold words, but quickly controlled himself and kept on a poker face, turning and nodding to Seth and moving beside him.
Watching Seth turn and quietly stare at him, the naked man's dim eyes became even dimmer if that was possible, despair claimed his face as his body trembled in fear of an experience he was yet to feel.
The circle which the man lay in had several other symbols within it, and from the symbols Seth could see he was left baffled, as he found himself wondering if the drawings before him were truly seals.
It wasn't until Seth switched on his enlightenment sphere that the nature of the diagrams as seals were confirmed, and even after that, he found himself making no progress in understanding them.
The profundity of the seal before Seth had him looking at the two hooded figures walking around the naked man, inspecting the seal as they moved, and then adding a few other symbols to the sides of the circle.
"Both of you be quick, our guest would like to see the fabled technique of the great commander Zuroc's army" Seung barked.
The two hooded figure nodded in Seung's direction and then quickly went over to the naked man and while one began pouring a black liquid all over the naked man's body, the other took out a knife and began carving up some more triangular drawings.
In about 5 minutes both hooded figures were done and then quickly took off their cloaks to reveal their also naked bodies.
Both men each walked into one of the triangles that bordered the circles and then without delaying, they both sat down cross-legged and erupted with their qi.
Like water flowing through a trench, both men's qi poured into the drawings on the ground, lighting them up in red.
Though slow, it took only a few seconds, for the entire seal to light up, but even before this happened, the bound-up man began screaming in fear.
Amidst his scream, the seal became fully lit, and from then on the man's screams turned to something which he could best describe as a screech.
With each passing second, the radiance of the seal increased, the man's screeches increasing with it.
A few seconds later and Seth could see the man's skin, breaking off into tiny red particles and falling to the seal.
Without pause, the man cautiously screamed for minutes on end as his body broke apart, he turned his head left and right trying to find relief but found none.
Initially, Seth had first requested to observe the man out of curiosity and then secondly out of the desire to challenge himself for whatever horror awaited.
At the moment, Seth portrayed a calm and unshaken image, calmly watching the man before him be gradually disintegrated, but within him, there was chaos.
Seth's insides churned as he watched all of the man's skin finally be peeled away, and then his muscles begin following after.
Watching the man before him screech in pain and wish for death, Seth's eyes couldn't help but move to the two men outside the circle who had smiles on their faces as a red blob gradually formed before each of them.
Like one would heartlessly watch a lamb scream while it was being killed, so did these two men watch the man in the circle.
Like he was nothing but sheep, they watched as his muscle and organ disintegrated, till only his bare skeleton was left.
The man's white skeleton now lay on the ground, but neither man paid attention to it, their eyes focused on the red blob hovering before them, and then without hesitation, they reached out for it.
Immediately the blob made contact with their palm, it sank into it, and within seconds Seth could feel the aura from both men increase even if slightly.
"Not bad" Seth commented, a yawn leaving his lips.
"Let's get going, Zuroc awaits," Seth said to Seung's scrutinizing gaze.
