“Guk… kah…”

The demon I had bit through was spasming on the ground. As I jumped out of the chains binding me, I looked at the demon. Blood dripped out of its bitten neck and joined the puddle of remnants splayed over the ground.

I could slowly feel all my Mana and Ki coming back. Waiting all this time didn’t just help me get in a better state after the beat down, I must have also managed to make every creature in this castle drop its guard.

That, and…

“These chains sure are interesting…” With my hand still bleeding out, I unhooked the chains and inspected them.

That Balam was too strong. Even if I went all out, I wasn’t sure I could win.

“Do these chains work on you guys?” I asked the demon. Its helm moved in weird ways at my words, quite tenacious.

I pulled all the chains out and hung them over my shoulders. They weren’t suppressing my strength like this, but would whenever I made two ends meet. The cuffs seemed to be the center of this mechanism.

A smile spread through my face at the undying demon.

I snapped my fingers and a small magic circle formed above my hand. Through my spatial dimension, a single potion fell into my hands.

I poured the potion over the demon’s neck.

“Qua! Quaaa!!” The demon screamed as it started healing up. Potions seemed to work even on these things.

It looked at the chains and pointed at itself as if telling me it would help me find out.

I showed it a bright, gentle smile and dragged it out of my cell. The demon let me pull it by its leg as I moved out of the cell and looked at the other ones. My gaze was much clearer now, so I could see them properly.

Remains of humans.

Dozens of humans.

Half of them were tied up in the same chains as me, with only their ribs or head remaining, while some didn’t leave behind any trace beyond a fresh scent of blood.

What did this fucker make me eat?

I moved over to the last cells in the dungeon. About six or seven people were left, some with holes in their stomachs others with their limbs cut off.

The rattles of the chains resounded.

They opened their eyes wide, and souls returned to their gaze.

“Ah… AH!!”

“HAH! AAAAH!!”

Like crazed dogs, they stared at the demon I pulled along and screamed. Their shrill shrieks made my ears tremble.

Perfect, these guys would do.

I quickly took the keys again and started opening each of their cells. As I moved my hand, the gaping wound in my wrists stung, but I appreciated that. The lack of pain would make me fall asleep, this served as a good alternative to caffeine.

The demon watched and the carved-out people continued growling. I went to one of them, a young boy, and pulled off his chains. I wondered how humans landed here, but that was a matter that I would handle later.

As soon as the boy’s hand was freed, he tried to reach out for the demon. When I pulled the demon back, the boy turned to me and screamed.

“Shut up,” I said. Gripped by fear, not just the boy, but every prisoner in the place stopped in their tracks in the face of my killing intent. Wild beasts. These people were already beyond instinct and operated on whatever was left of their broken minds.

I moved to the other prisoners. Some had holes in their stomachs, while others’ thighs were neatly carved out. There were two women as well with their chests and hands cut through. Strange moss grew on their bodies while maggots danced in the bigger wounds.

I gathered all of them in a place and brought the demon in front of me. Their eyes moved as I moved the demon to the side.

The demon shook its head as it realized what I was going to do.

It desperately pointed at the chains, but only received my kind smile in return.

Then, I tossed the demon ahead in front of them.

As if a dam had broken, all the people ignored their wounds and pounced on the demon. It tried to fight back, but people at their dying breaths were to be underestimated.

The young boy was kicked. He ignored the pain in his stomach and sank his teeth into the demon’s thighs.

“AHHH!”

The demon screamed out loud.

One woman bit its neck, while another chomped down on its stomach. The demon must have taken a few bites off of them in front of them as well, as they focused completely on eating it.

Chomps and slurps rang out loud, suppressing the incessant screams.

I leaned back on a cage and watched. The demon turned its head up, I guess to stare at me.

Aw.

With a smile, I walked over to them.

The humans stopped. Their mouths and hands were smeared with blood.

The young boy turned to me with a face that radiated ecstasy, a feeling that poured beyond my sight. Carefully, with both his hands, he offered me the liver of the demon.

I kept smiling and snapped my fingers again.

The demon stared at me.

My mana was recovering, I didn’t need to use the magic circle anymore.

I summoned one of the three supreme-grade potions I had stowed away.

“Ahh!” A sigh of relief escaped the demon.

Then, I poured all of it on the demon’s body.

A sizzling sound rang out as its wounds started stitching together again. This potion was said to fix anything that wasn’t removed from your body, it seemed to be true as its flesh started regenerating and its skin stitched together again.

The humans looked at me, and then at the demon again.

The demon was happy.

One screamed—

“AHH!”

—And bit down on the demon again.

With renewed vigor, all of them started eating the demon once more.

My smile became natural and I nodded. I pulled out the remaining potions from my spatial storage as well and handed them to the people who didn’t think of using the potions on themselves for a second.

The demon’s relief turned into horror as its eyes landed on the remaining potions.

The boy that I had freed first gently bowed his head at me and resumed eating.

I ruffled his hair with my bloodied hand and walked away.

The screams of the demon continued ringing in the prison.

The grin on my face widened even more and more.

My heart was pounding and my breaths were heavy.

I couldn’t wait to make them suffer more.
