Chapter 492 - Conviction Succumbs to Hope (2)
Drip, drip, drip.
Melted ice fell as drops of water on the floor. Darkness fell on the temple that reeked with the stench of blood.
“A-Arghh.” Eilles twisted and slowly opened his eyes. “Kurgh!”
He tried to move, but the black flames wrapped around him did not allow him to.
‘Where am I...?’
He looked around. He had woken up in his half-melted temple where the Frostborn fought against the intruders.
‘He didn’t imprison me somewhere else.’
The fact that the intruders did not move him while he was unconscious was precious information.
‘Time isn’t on their side.’
If the intruders had all the time in the world, they would have taken him to their base and slowly interrogated him. Eilles narrowed his eyes and looked around. He couldn’t see his interrogators, the man named Oh Kang-Woo or the woman named Lilith, anywhere.
“Where did they go?”
Eilles looked around uneasily. There was no way they had gone back after giving up on prying information out of him.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh—!
“Kurgh. Shit.”
Eilles drew out the power of frost and tried to break free, but the black flames restraining him did not budge.
“Fuuu,” Eilles sighed deeply and stopped struggling.
His blue eyes shone brightly within the dark temple.
‘I’ll never talk.’
Eilles more or less had an idea about what information regarding Bael that the intruders wanted.
‘They want details about the day of the apocalypse.’
Bael and his army would invade Earth in exactly thirty-five days. They would massacre humanity, kill every god, and create a new world.
Eilles closed his eyes in silence.
‘If I can’t break out of these restraints...’
He was planning on ending his own life at the very least. After all, dead men told no tales.
“Fuuu.”
Eilles had no qualms about dying. Rather, he was happy to die as long as it was for the sake of his loyalty toward his lord. However...
‘Arianne.’
His daughter’s face popped up in his head. The innocent laughter of the Frost Princess, as white as snow, echoed in his mind.
“Haaa.” Eilles closed his eyes as he sighed. He muttered, “I’m... sorry.”
He shook his head to shoo away the image of his daughter in his head.
“Frost Spirits,” called Eilles as he slowly raised his head.
Light particles slightly smaller than the size of a fist formed around him. They were spirits created from the energy of frost, considerably smaller than when they first appeared. No, it wasn’t just their size; the light particles were significantly dimmer and the cold energy within them was nothing compared to what it used to be.
“It seems you all have also been injured quite a lot.”
Eilles looked at the Frost Spirits sorrowfully.
“Kill me,” he said angrily. “You will never hear what you want from me.”
Eilles’s voice was filled with certainty. His eyes did not falter in the slightest even after getting tortured to this extent.
“Really? Do you truly think you can overcome any kind of pain?” Kang-Woo asked.
“Without question,” Eilles answered without hesitation. He continued with eyes filled with willpower, “My conviction will not be bent by mere pain.”
He was not all talk; he was certain that he would never give away information about Bael, whatever pain he was subjected to.
‘Lord Bael.’ Eilles bit his lip as he thought about his lord. ‘No matter the despair and agony I am placed in, my loyalty for you will not change.’
Eilles glared at Kang-Woo with blazing eyes. He chuckled mockingly again and continued, “Now, torture me however you want. You can peel off my skin, gouge out my flesh, and even break my bones.
“You won’t get anything from me. Rather, you will only waste the little time you already have to prepare for Lord Bael’s grand plan.”
The demon known as Oh Kang-Woo was powerful; so powerful that Eilles, the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, had not been able to deal any meaningful damage to him. He could even become a threat to Bael’s grand plan.
‘I’m prepared to endure any kind of pain as long as I can keep him here.’
“Pfft! Hahahahaha!” Kang-Woo burst into laughter with his hand clenching his stomach as he looked down at Eilles. He nodded repeatedly with a smile of satisfaction.“Man, you’re good. I like you. Personally, I’m a huge fan of single-minded people like you.”
He liked these kinds of people much better than those blinded by desire with no conviction, ideals, or aspirations.
“Because it’s all the more fun to break you.”
Kang-Woo cackled as he moved his shoulders up and down.
Eilles frowned in displeasure.
“Ahem. Alright, you said that your conviction won’t be bent by any pain, right?” Kang-Woo grabbed Eilles by his chin as he nodded in understanding. “In that case.”
He bent down and looked into the eyes of Eilles, collapsed on the ground, looking up at him.
“Ah,” Eilles groaned the moment he saw Kang-Woo’s black scleras, yellow irises, and horizontal pupils.
‘What the...’ He could feel that something was going wrong. ‘What is this feeling...?’
Eilles lowered his head in confusion.
“What about this, then?”
Just then, Kang-Woo took something out of his pocket. It was a translucent piece of ice.
“Ah.” Eilles’s eyes widened the moment he saw the ice. He trembled and his teeth clacked together. “N-No.”
He denied his thoughts. He desperately hoped that the first thing he thought of when he saw the piece of ice was wrong.
“I-It can’t be.”
He leaned closer to look down at the piece of ice that Kang-Woo dropped on the ground. It was an immaculately beautiful piece of ice. He understood whose it was even if he didn’t want to.
“A-Aaaahh,” Eilles groaned in despair as tears ran down his cheeks.
“Arianne, was it?” The demon brought his mouth close to Eilles’s ears and whispered, “She had such beautiful fingers.”
“A-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!” Eilles screamed. “Y-YOU SON OF A BIIIIIIIITCH!!!”
Crack! Crack!
Eilles writhed madly and charged at the demon.
“I’LL KILL YOU! I’LL KILL YOU! I’LL KILL YOU!!”
However, the black flames wrapping him restrained him.
“I WILL KILL YOUUUUUUUUUUU!”
Eilles’s screams of despair echoed throughout the temple.
