Chapter 652: A Memory of Madness (2/2)

”I give you one more time to back out.”

”This will be your last chance.” The leader offered. Sadly, he was met by bowed heads and silence.

”Think about your family. Sisters, brothers, or maybe a young sweet love back in town.”

”There is more to life than being a disciple of the Profound Delight Sect. Think hard!”

”Every single one of you will die before sunset if you take this test!” The leader did not give up and so he convinced the 7 one more time.

”...” The same result was seen and heard.

”Okay.” The leader sighed. His name was Zi Yu and in his 20 years of administering this test, nobody of the participants lived to tell the tale about it.

Thus, his record was a hundred percent fatality rate. Zi Yu tried asking the past leaders of this group about their experience but he only got a smack in the head for his trouble.

Some things were just too horrible to speak of.

”I have full belief that all of you know what this test entails so...”

”The trial of a Hundred Strikes shall now commence!” Zi Yu announced. Immediately thereafter, yells of pain and torture resounded in the field.

The scene was too gruesome to describe. Halfway through the count, everyone was already in their last breaths.

”70!” At this time, all 7 of them have entered in the cycle of Samsara.

”BANG!”

”BANG!”

”BANG!”

The strikes continued to happen and this was also when a visitor from afar descended into the realm. This was of course none other than our very own protagonist, Clark Colter.

'Well, this is a creative way to wake me up... partner.' Our bored gamer thought as he smiled amidst the pain that he felt. There were 4 men who held him up. One at each limb.

They were only there to make sure that the strikes would hit true to its target.

'Ahhh... this familiar feeling of agony and self death.'

'It has been a long while hasn't it?' Clark closed his eyes once more to relish this torment in full.

'Welcome back, my friend. It has been a long time indeed.'

A voice whispered in the ears of our avid gamer and this was only one of the personalities that accompanied him in the untold years of anguish during the Soul Fragmentation Process.
