Chapter 66 - Evil Exposed (1/2)

Theoric knew exactly where to go, his heightened sense leading him directly to the bas.e.m.e.nt. It was feasible that a regular human would have had a difficult time realizing what was going on in a short amount of time, but Theoric still felt this fool was denser then most if he believed this group of men were up to anything good.

The trapped man was well-groomed for a hired man, with his neatly placed brown hair swept to the left side of his face so you can see his brown eyes, looking like he even bathed occasionally, which meant that he had easy access to a lot of water like the rich.

Villagers and hired men usually went days even weeks at a time between baths not to mention you would never catch a hired man combing his hair as this fellow seems to have done. This was why Theoric believed his righteous anger wasn't necessarily an act.

The man went real quiet after he witnessed Theoric perform magic until they started approaching the bas.e.m.e.nt.

His imagination took over as he started thinking all sorts of horrible devilish things happening to him should he be dragged underground.

Struggling as best he could in the air, his body wiggling about he started to ramble- ”Ahhh, You think a demon like you will get away with this? The Gods will smite you, their priests will come at you with a holy vengeance If you let me go I'll vouch for you, tell you what I won't say anything, all you do is have to let me go and I'll be out of your hair like this never even happened, I'll forget you, you forget me, hey, hey, you listening?”

Theoric was surprised with all that racket no one else has come to deal with him, it's not like they could escape with his barrier trapping everyone inside.

Theoric growing tired of his yammering gave him a swift smack- ”Shut up will you, we have arrived.” he said opening the bas.e.m.e.nt door. Their noses were instantly assaulted by the pungent sewage smell and rotting flesh.

The man gagged- ”Oh my god, what is that horrible stench, what the heck do they do down there?”

Theoric, on the other hand, wasn't bothered by it, now glowing with the tale-tell signs of his skin layered energy shield which he used to keep any filth from touching him.

The man started to break down- ”Nooo, please I still haven't found my sister, I only came here because I was promised the help of the lord in finding her if I helped him, she was last reported in coming here, her goal was to visit all the kingdoms villages so she could better understand the kingdom's situation, I don't even work for him I swear!”

Theoric tried not to sneer as what they were about to find was truly horrifying, but he still found it funny that the man couldn't figure it out.- ”Perhaps we'll find her sooner then you think.”

The near sneer wasn't just for the man, but for himself, the sad truth that he was in a similar position not so long ago and could relate to the man. Perhaps that's why he was willing to take the time and help the man out.

The man stopped his crying when he heard,- ”What do you mean?... I asked what do you mean demon!”

Receiving no response he went quiet as they began to descend, keeping his eyes forward while trying to figure out what the demon meant.

At the bottom, they arrived finding a dungeon environment filled with thick wood bar prison cells, torture devices, and other such objects.

The only light with which to see came from Theoric's orange glow as they walked past the first cells that were filled with women and even some children mixed in.

The horror-struck the man in the gut as he realized he fought for the man who did this, even if it was for only a short time against Theoric. It didn't excuse the fact he felt misplaced fury for those sc.u.mbags who would do something so evil.
