Chapter 50 50 – NeverEnding Feast [Gore Warning]
Following the same routine as yesterday, Haruki flew into Margarette\'s room while she slept soundly on her bed. Standing right over her, he went through the questions he had planned to have her answer in the dream. Once done, he moved his hand over her to activate the ability.
"I knew something was off," hearing Margarette say those words, Haruki was left astonished.
With widened eyes, he leaped backward, but before he could get far Margarette turned around and threw her claw right at him. Slashing his face with her nails, she stood firmly on her feet.
"To think a demon would come so far from Scorchen Gaia to attack me," thankfully, although he was caught, she doesn\'t seem to have realized that it was him. "Too bad for you my farsightedness warned me that you\'ll come back."
Staring each other down, they both kept a safe distance away from each other.
\'What the hell she was just pretending to be asleep then?!\' Noticing her directing mana into her hands, Haruki instinctively leaped forward before she could unleash her attack.
"Binding light!" but to his misfortune, Margarette was faster.
Binding his wrists and ankles, chains of bright light held him in place. Looking at them horrified, he noticed that the chains were attached to nothing and simply held him in place by hovering in mid-air.
"Dammit!" He screeched in a demonically deafening tone.
Wearing a deep scorn, Margarette moved closer to the demon in front of her. Laying her finger on its head, she took out a sheathed knife from between her breasts.
"Now answer me, why the hell were you targeting me specifically when there are a hundred easier targets in this palace?" Unsheathing the blade, she ran it down Haruki\'s chest. "Who sent you after me? Or are you just a stray demon who stumbled into my bedroom?"
Like a piece of smoldering iron, it burned his skin as Margarette kept moving it down on him. For the first time since coming to Daria, Haruki realized why Margarette was called the holy maiden. The golden chains binding his limbs were proof of her proficiency in holy magic. To pile up on his worries, the enchanted knife trailing with an exorbitant amount of her mana reflected the difference troubling difference in their ability.
"Get off!" Growling at her, he tried to bite her nose off her face, but moving back in time Margarette managed to escape unscratched.
\'The hell should I do?!\' Relying too much on his mediocre skills had blown up right back onto his face.
"Come on, don\'t test my patience," sinking the knife deeper into Haruki\'s skin, Margarette gave off a sinister smile.
The delight on her face showcased just how much she enjoyed the torturous teasing. Although urging him to give her a quick answer, deep down she wanted him to fight back a bit more so she could enjoy the moment a while longer.
"Like hell, I\'ll tell you!" Shooting back that answer, Haruki tried to channel his mana into his hands to somehow free himself from the binds, however, deterring him from using magic the chains absorbed all mana he put out to strengthen themselves instead.
"Oh you\'ll tell me alright," pushing the blade further in Margarette chuckled out loud as Haruki\'s flesh began to sizzle.
\'Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!\' Left with no other option, he glared at her with bubbling rage in his eyes. Responding in kind, Margarette gazed back with a maniacal look. To some degree, she reminded him of Asmodia, which only served to fan the flame of his hatred toward her.
"Demonic spies, gather!" Heeding his call, the entire hoard of bat-winged eyes began to puff up into the room with a steam of mist floating around them.
"What the?!" Overwhelmed by the number of creatures, Margarette glanced around the room trying to figure out what was happening.
Filling the whole room, hundreds upon hundreds of eyes were glaring right at the duchess. Their eyes painted a bloody red convey a message stronger than words.
"What the hell are these?!" She asked, turning back to Haruki.
"My servants…" slowly raising his head to look at her, he grinned eye to eye. "You\'ll be joining them soon."
Petrified by his eerie smile, Margarette took a few steps away from him. She wanted to head straight for the door but no matter where she looked the entire room was flocking with Haruki\'s servants.
"Eat her, but don\'t let her die," with that command, the eyes opened up from the middle revealing a wide mouth with slithering tongues and razor-sharp teeth.
"What?! No! You can\'t do this!" Stumbling back she fell down to her knees.
Drooling all over the ground, they slowly began floating toward Margarette. Watching them draw closer, she shot charged light magic spears into the oncoming hoard, however, it only managed to get rid of a few and riled the others to storm her body faster.
"Get off! Get off! Aghh!" Surrounded by their eyes, she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Tearing into her flesh, the creatures feasted on blood for the very first time. The more they ate the more they hungered for.
"Rejuvenation!" activating the spell, Margarette was only giving the eyes exactly what they wanted. "Stop! Stop them please!"
With her flopping around in agony, the chains around Haruki came undone. The way she screamed had satiated the lust for carnage Haruki\'s demonic side harbored, however, regardless of how he felt he didn\'t want to let her go just yet. Moving onto the bed, he sat there watching her bleed and squirm under the hungry spies.
\'Level up!\' The announcement ringing in his head left him a bit shocked.
\'I thought I can\'t level up through other means…\' Looking back at Margarette and the spies, something quickly clicked into his head. \'It is because my familiars are eating her? How does that count as sexual means though?\'
A bit ignorant about lust, Haruki failed to realize just how depraved human desires can be. Sexual arousal wasn\'t just derived from bodily pleasure, it came through many means, one of which happened to be cannibalizing the flesh of a lush maiden. Irrespective of the cause, Haruki decided to keep things going as long as he can drain her of her levels.
"Keep going until I tell you to stop," he commanded, and the spies continued to do as they were told.
Margarette on the other hand bled from all pores. Tearing into her breasts they kept trying to feast on her heart but healing it just in time she kept herself locked into that agonizing cycle. Noticing the pattern, the eyes tried to peck out her eyes before moving onto her tongue.
"Re-rejuvenation! Mhnmm!" Keeping her teeth clenched shut, she managed to keep her tongue safe every time they tried the same thing. "I\'m sorry! I\'m sorry! Let me go!"
Turning into Snow, Haruki watched over Margarette\'s torture for the rest of the long night.
