Chapter 55: First target
Chapter 55: First target
WARNING EXPLICIT TORTURE CONTENT, PARENTS BE ADVISED
After arriving at the first target city each of the kids was carried gently by a member of debauchery and within moments they arrived at the target family estate. The estate was walled inside a 1X1 km squarespace.
Debauchery and the kids were standing on the wall overlooking the estate, it took there seconds to cover the 5km distance between the portal and the target.
Fae waved her tree branch and a transparent film quietly engulfed the whole estate underneath it, and when the film was fully deployed the noises of the night turned dead silent. "Silent domain" explained leader "isolates the sound from entering or leaving the domain." Then it was Balin who started chanting next and faint glow could be seen over some places. "That is not a spell but an item activation chant, the paint used by Lucian as a mark is made by Balin, and anyone who hears the chant can see the marked targets".
Yunan could see from his position what was marked even if he could not see more than shades on the dark a few minutes before, he could see clearly all the marked people or the marked walls and even the marked vault in the underground that he could not even guess existed before. Yunan finally understood how great one must be to be called master dwarf, a mere marking paint can let you see beyond your own abilities.
Then Lucian disappeared from the wall, to do his job of cleaning the hidden threats, Yunan could see some of the marked lights being split in half or decapitated soon after. As for the rest of the party, Dustan charged at the unmarked buildings and swung his axes at them, turning the whole thing into rubble that buried beneath it all those who were inside. Next was Balin who simply marched on a path and hit his sledge hammer on the ground towards any building he passed by and it would sunder under the shock wave.
From his position besides Leader, Yunan could see those shades of unmarked houses and buildings falling one after the other, while Balin and Dustan passed by them like ghosts, there was no sound just shadows falling here and there and after a mere minute there was only one big villa that stood in the former bustling estate. Then Fae took her turn last, she conjured a robed figure with with a shovel in the right hand " grave robber, bring me all the valuables and kill who ever is still alive in the ruins" and with that the hooded figure floated to the ruined estates, his shovel sweeped taking out all manner of items, even the vault itself was extracted from the underground.
At the 5 minutes mark the whole estate was a ruin and anything of value was presented before Debauchery in a cart sized pile and Lucian, Balin and Dustan were back with all the evidence they could gather. Now was the time for treasure as for the contents of the confessions, that would be left for review after the whole thing is over.
"Come here kids, i regret that we could not teach you appraisal last week because the accident with the chest, so we will do an Impromptus lesson while sorting out the items, we need you to tell us about the item you pick and the value you would give it, and if there is a mistake we can correct you and show you how to make note of the difference" Leader who had done nothing but keep the kids beside her at all times took over when it was safe, and while they were separating the spoils of war an intruder barged inside the silent domain, he made a beeline for Debauchery with the intent to kill aimed at Leader, but with a flip of her hand Leader just brought him to his knees in front for her.
"How the fuck do you know a level 40 spell you bitch" was the first thing he said, that earned him a broken jaw 4 times, it was healed by leader just to be broken again by another member of Debauchery, the last hit, was the hammer of Balin that broke half his face, although Leader could heal him fully, the experience of getting half your bones in your skull turn to mush was by no means pleasant.
And soon a violent interrogation was started, the man had suffered from pains the kids never knew before, every time he lied he would feel the wrath of Dustan in ways too cruel to be called beastly. Every time the man told a lie he would start the confession all over, and with every lie, Dustan would use his finger nail to dig inside the man and rip out muscles and tendons and ligaments, he would crush bones by grabbing them from under the muscle and snapping them like twigs, the man could feel it all thanks to the enhanced sensitivity that was casted by leader.
Enhanced sensitivity can be used by party members to avoid invisible foes and have a better understanding of the battle flow mid battle, but the drawback was that they could not suppress the amplified senses, and as such pain would be multiplied by orders of magnitude and there was nothing the user can do to alleviate it since the spell could neglect such spells as pain relief and other spells that can dull the senses.
The man had scene his own spine pulled out from his stomach, he saw his own organs when Dustan decided a lie was too big and just ripped out the whole skin and muscle covering his insides, at a certain point was giving Balin a lesson in human anatomy when the lie included a curse at leader. Something the man now had engraved in his bones never insult Leader, and never lie to Debauchery. The man watched as his lies literally caused his body to rupture and be rebuilt just to rupture again.
The kids were shielded from the scene but the screams the man issued were enough for their overactive imagination to run wild. Although the kids never heard the confession he made, from the severity of the torture he was inflicted he had done some unforgivable things in the eyes of Debauchery.
