Chapter 391 'Interrogating' The Demon



"I'll tell you nothing, human." The demon scowled as he stared at Reign with a hateful expression on his face. His leg was still pierced by the rank B sword Reign had previously taken out and even though there was no lightning coiling around it now, the demon didn't try to take it out as he knew that no matter what it did, his fate was sealed.

"Well, we'll see about that." Said Wolf as he grabbed the demon by his head before dragging it into the nearby bushes and trees. A trail of blood was left as the severed leg and the other, pierced leg bled heavily whilst being dragged on the ground. Reign and the others simply waited as Wolf started interrogating the demon.

Nobody liked hearing screams and sounds of bones being broken, but sometimes that was the only thing that could be done in order to find more information from an enemy. Of course, it was also much easier to do that to demons since the things they do to humans was much, much worse.

Nobody felt pity for the demon as his screams started. Wolf started off by increasing the temperature of his hand, it only took a couple of seconds for Wolf's hand to become completely orange as its temperature reached an incredibly high degree.

"Let's start now." Wolf smiled at the demon before putting his hand on the demon's leg, well, on the part that was cut off.

"I'll help you close this wound, don't want you to bleed out during our talk."

"AAAAAA!!" The demon screamed in pain as the wound got cauterized by Wolf's hand, smoke came out as the smell of burnt meat permeated the area. The demon's screams continued for a couple of seconds before Wolf removed his hand, showing a cauterized cut that wasn't bleeding any more.

"Alright, first aid given, as for the other wounds you got, well, those shouldn't kill you, not in the short-run at least," Wolf said before taking out a small knife from the inventory. The knife was a special one, it was only rank C, but it was reinforced to +7 and was sharper than even most rank A weapons, the only drawback being the fact that it was only 5cm ( 2 inches ) in length.

For a battle, the knife was way too short to be used in any manner, and even for a throwing knife, the weird design and thin blade made it almost unusable. What Wolf was about to do, however, made it a perfect choice.

Wolf's hand turned into a blur as the knife cut apart the demon's body, numerous small cuts appeared every second as the demon simply stood still, not feeling a thing at the beginning.

After about 1 minute, the demon's face changed, there were hundreds of cuts on its body and they all started stinging, the pain was weak in the beginning, but it quickly became worse as blood started dripping down the cuts.

"Well, that would be it for the cuts, not let's move on to the next thing," Wolf said before grabbing the demon's arm and holding it in place. His other arm held a small axe which was a similar weapon to the knife, a rank C weapon that Wolf had reinforced many times until its durability and sharpness were near the level of a rank A weapon, of course, it gave almost no bonuses and was simply not a good weapon to use when compared to a rank A one.

Wolf simply put the axe next to him before taking out steel pincers. The steel pincers was something he had custom-ordered Adrian to make and although they didn't have a rank, they could withstand attacks from rank A weapons for a long time before getting destroyed.

Wolf smiled at the demon as the latter widened his eyes after realizing what he was going to do. Wolf quickly grabbed the axe and slammed it down, damaging the powerful nails of the demon. Before the demon could do anything, Wolf quickly put the mana-restricting chains on him, making him unable to move his arms or use any form of mana, or demonic energy.

Wolf continued using the axe until he finally managed to cut off a large portion of the demon's nails. Without being able to use mana or demonic energy to reinforce them, the nails simply couldn't withstand the mana-coated axe.

One weird thing was the fact that black blood, the same that was dripping out of the many cuts the demon had, started coming out of the nails as well.

"Oh, so your nails aren't like ours, they even had veins inside of them, how interesting," Wolf said as he put a rag in the demon's mouth, preventing his screams from coming out. With the demon's mouth completely stuffed, it couldn't even talk and tell Wolf what information they wanted to know.

"Let's experiment more, shall we?" Wolf smiled at the demon as the latter tried saying something, only to be completely ignored by Wolf who grabbed the steel pincers and started taking out the demon's nails as the latter convulsed in pain.

Blood started flowing out from the finger, and the more of the nail was taken out, the more blood flowed out. When Wolf finally managed to take out the nail completely, there was a small stream of blood coming out of the finger. Wolf looked at it curiously before cauterizing the wound in the same manner he did to the demon's leg.

"So weird, it seems like there's a lot more blood that flows through your arms compared to us, a lot more," Wolf said before staring at the demon.

The demon's face was completely covered in sweat as he looked at Reign with fear. Wolf suddenly came nearer as the demon's eyes constricted.

"Hey, what would happen if I took your third eye out, it doesn't seem to be anything special anyway," Wolf said with a glimmering light in his eyes.

"Mmmm, hhhmmmmm, nnnnn!!" The demon tried speaking out, only for his words to be stuck as the rag made speaking impossible.

"Oh, I'm sorry man, I completely forgot that this was supposed to be an interrogation, here, let me take this out," Wolf said as he took the rag out while simultaneously using the steel pincers and grabbing a tooth of the demon.

"Hm?" The demon looked at Wolf with a confused expression before the latter suddenly moved and took his tooth out.

"AAArrghhh!" The demon screamed out in pain as blood started flowing out from his mouth, but compared to how much blood would come out of a human in the same situation, there was a lot less of it here.

"Hmm, your teeth are tougher and a bit sharper compared to ours, but you don't bleed as much after one gets taken out, interesting," Wolf said as he examined the tooth while the demon tried to calm down.

"Y-you, you're more of a demon than I am!"

"A demon, huh, I do wonder about that." Wolf smiled at the demon as the latter showed a fearful expression on his face.

"I-I'll talk."

"What?"

"I'll talk, just, just please stop." The demon said as he looked down at the ground. Demons were inherently different than humans, especially when it came to death.

Demons that had managed to go through the first evolution and hit Tier I were not afraid of death, unless their soul was destroyed they wouldn't truly die. Their soul would be summoned back to the planet they were born in before they would get a new body, of course, the new body would be much weaker and it would range from level 1 to level 10, but they would have a majority of the skills and abilities they had previously learned.

Of course, they wouldn't be able to use all of the skills and the full potential of their abilities after getting a new body since they would be too weak, but they could always level up again.

To be tortured in such a way, and to even be threatened by Wolf who wanted to take out his third eye, something that was incredibly important to the ash demons, was worse than death, it was much worse compared to death.

The third eye was something the ash demons all inherited from their ancestor, a god. It is said that the god's third eye could unleash a beam of dark light that could destroy planets in seconds and it was one of the strongest things in the universe, to have it removed was an insult to the demons and the god, but only the demon would pay for the insult.

If they died after the eye had been completely taken out, the demon would actually lose most of its skills and even abilities, and some of its memory would be gone as well. No demon wanted that since it meant that all of the hard work they put in would be completely gone and they would need to start from scratch.

"Well, that's a lot better." Wolf smiled warmly as the demon shuddered, only wanting to die and be freed from the human in front of him.
