189 When You Got to Go, You Got to Go (1/2)
”Who'd knew something this vulgar in appearance, could have such a profound taste. I have been enlightened.” Leon patted his belly in satisfaction.
”Your Highness, if we keep up this level of consumption, we won't be able to last long. For this meal, we have used up five carcasses.” Zorbek reminded.
Leon glanced at the pile of black exoskeletons. All the unused inwards and dripping blood have been reduced to ashes to eliminate foul smell.
”That's true. We need to exercise self-restraint from this point onwards.” Leon nodded, before asking, ”What's the progress on—”
Suddenly, an audible stomach rumble was heard.
”Ugh…”
Damir groaned. He clutched his stomach and paled with cold sweat.
”What's the matter with you, Damir? Are you not feeling well?” Marcus asked with surprise.
”I… I can't hold it anymore. I gotta go!” Damir roared, startling the group.
He undressed his suit of armor and found himself a hidden spot behind the pile of leftover exoskeletons.
”C'mon, it's too late to be pretending now. Everyone had already eaten and know the food was safe to eat.” Marcus said with an ironic smile as if he had Damir's sudden behavior all figured out.
”Don't come over here! Arghh!”
”Quit playing around—”
Marcus suddenly paused and clutched his own stomach with a pale face. Similarly, he broke into cold sweats and said, ”I… I think I gotta go too…”
Rumble…. Rumble…
”Ugh… count me too…”
”And me three…”
Rumble…!
The sound of stomach growling became louder and more numerous. It was set off one after the other like a chain reaction. It didn't take long until everyone who had a taste of the devil's food began to fell into the same situation.
”Good heavens! The power of nature compels me!”
”Arghh, what the hell! It feels like my backdoor is about to burst open!”
The palace guards exclaimed in shock. They weren't sure what was happening to their body. However, one thing they were sure of was; when they had to go, they got to go!
No one had the hearts to care about their dignity in the presence of a lady, not when their asses were on fire! Everyone found their own holy ground, dropped their pants and squatted in preparation for the grand ritual.
”Shameless!” Lilith cried, before escaping upstairs like a startled kitty.
Leon tried suppressing the strong urges by injecting silver needles into himself, but it was no use. There was no escaping. It was a natural process to expel waste and harmful substances from the body. Preventing it would only cause him self-harm.
Ultimately, he resigned to his fate and sighed. Great journeys start with a trip to the toilet. Leon erected himself a 'throne' with whatever materials he could scrap together, before seating himself for the inevitable.
The bottom floor was swallowed in a torrential wave of horrible smell. The palace guards continue to squat through the terrifying experience as they pray to both man and god to end their suffering.
”Ahhh, it feels like my rear is on fire!”
”Good lord, please make it end!”
”Begone!
The palace guards' cries could be heard from all the way up top. Lilith tried to block out her hearing. This underground trip was filled with its own horrors. If she knew what she was signing herself up for, she would've never come.
After what seemed like an eternity, the noise began to die down. The group was in low spirits as they wiped their rears with whatever they could use.
”Aiyoo, it stings so bad.” A palace guard exclaimed.
”What a terrifying ring sting. I must say it was ten times worse than eating spicy hotpot.” Another one commented.
”What's a ring sting?” An ignorant one suddenly asked.
The others looked at the person strangely, before one of them said, ”You never heard of a ring sting? What about the red ringer? The ringer stinger? The red ringer stinger? Fiery a**hole? If you eat spicy food often, you should be familiar with the terms, especially spicy hotpot.”
