Chapter 61 First Night Of Bloodshed
?(Warning!!! Mild sexual harassment scene. Some of you may not like it.)
Edna was lying face down on the ground with some swords stuck in her legs and arms. Her entire body screamed in excruciating pain, but no one could hear it except for herself.
Her mind told her to continue moving, but her body was too exhausted to do so anymore. She stared blankly at the sky above as she felt a sharp pain run through her leg as a sword pierced her skin.
Nathan saw her fall to the ground under the blades of their enemies. "Don't... kill her." A tear rolled out of his eyes. In reality, he wanted more than anything else right now: save Edna! But unfortunately, he wasn't able to do so anymore.
He clenched his fists tightly until he heard something snap loudly and painfully. That caused him to feel like crying once more and shake violently while watching Edna being tortured by dozens of soldiers while screaming and shouting horribly.
This world would never change if everyone simply sat back and did nothing in such cases. Nathan would no longer accept this kind of violence, regardless of how bad things might be. And most importantly, there were innocent people involved here, including Edna, who was trying her best to protect them all. He wouldn't allow anyone to treat her like that or harm her with just cause.
Now it was about saving someone precious from death or even from being maimed for life!
"Nathan, think clearly!" Marco didn't expect things would turn out like that either; "Leon! The answer lies within him."
"No," Nathan answered without hesitation. "I don't believe it will happen. Not here." He didn't seem to hear Marco's words.
Marco couldn't understand what had happened inside his friend's heart, but he could tell something terrible was coming next. "The same thing has already started."
Roger saw Nathan and the others trying their best to fight back and ordered his men to silence them.
A flash of light shot and was thrown at him. His head hit the ground hard.
Nathan felt dizzy and tittered on the edge of his consciousness. Blood was sticking out of his mouth and nose.
Edna was still alive, although she was bleeding heavily from the many wounds she had received. She opened her eyes slowly, only to see Nathan being hit by something. With the help of her power, she tried to lift herself up slowly, but she fell again immediately. "Please... stop it." She closed her eyes.
Roger pointed at Nathan and the others. "If you have nothing to say, then I'll have her executed right away."
"I agree!" One man shouted.
A few other voices joined in until they were all chanting in unison. A sound wave went through the entire area until it reached the heavens above and shook everything around them violently before gradually fading away.
Nathan struggled to breathe with a gasp, and a heavy moan came out between his lips. He kept trying desperately with all his strength, but his body couldn't respond anymore. He finally stopped moving completely after several seconds.
Roger turned around. "Good! We should start our show soon!" he looked at everyone in front of him with a cold gaze. He waved his hand lightly before yelling in a loud voice. "Prepare her."
The soldiers drew the swords on Edna's body. She was enveloped in red energy and lifted limply to a standing position. Blood started pouring out all over her body.
Roger stood before Edna. He looked at the girl. "What? What is this?"
Edna could barely move because of the many forces restraining her, which prevented her from moving even though she wanted to run to Nathan and help him stop everything that had happened earlier.
Roger's face changed instantly as his expression darkened into a rage as he glared at Edna, who remained calm despite her circumstances.
Edna shook her head in silence, her lips trembling slightly. She tried opening them wide for a few seconds before closing her mouth again.
Edna opened her eyes widely. She could see Roger standing close to her. Her face changed expression as if it were having trouble making sense of what she saw, or maybe it felt uneasy about it because it had never happened before. Her eyes moved as if searching for something, even though they seemed vacant and unfocused.
She gasped when suddenly blood spilled out of her mouth. Before long, most parts of her body that were not covered with the wound clothes were dripping with fresh blood. Then there was one last gush from the corner of her lips.
"What if I have some pleasure before executing her?" said Roger with a laugh full of lustful excitement while staring at Edna, whose body was wriggling uncontrollably under all the pain.
Marco took a deep breath before answering slowly. "That won't happen." He turned to Nathan, who lay still on the ground.
Edna stared back at him with wide-open eyes. "Pleasure? What do you mean by pleasure?"
"Yes," Roger said with an evil smile. "I got turned on simply by admiring your beautiful face. I can't hold myself." He touched her cheek. "Your skin feels so soft." His finger slid down until he reached her neck, gently caressing her flesh. "How smooth!" he exclaimed in a voice filled with desire. "It's like a precious jewel..."
Roger grabbed Edna tightly by the waist and pulled her towards him, but she couldn't move anymore. It didn't matter because he just wanted to feel more and more of her warmth.
"It's just that I like this kind of thing, right?" Roger kept touching Edna's cheeks as she tried to move her head away from his hand every now and then.
Edna closed her eyes. She let out another moan as if she were struggling desperately. She tried to lift herself up, but it was impossible for her without any power. Her body was being controlled entirely by others.
Roger moved closer and leaned against her body. The air around them became hot, almost unbearable for a moment, even though it was chilly outside.
Edna's head was spinning rapidly, and her brain was on fire. "Please don't do this." She tried to avoid his touch but couldn't manage to move her head away fast enough.
Roger slapped her cheek softly. The slap caused a sting in her mind, making it feel heavy for a short moment.
"Clean her," ordered Roger while grabbing Edna by the hair.
A wisp of water floated down her body repeatedly until the blood on her body slowly faded away to reveal the beauty beneath. Her pale white skin was shining brightly in the moonlight. It was almost like a silver statue. The wet cloth covering her body also began to shine, showing a bright silvery light. This only added to the majesty she exuded, making all the men in front of her look at each other awkwardly. There wasn't any movement or sound around them anymore. Everyone just stood frozen, staring at her.
Edna looked at Nathan first; her eyes were filled with sadness and remorse. "Please, don't do this." followed by Roger, who stood still, holding onto Edna's hands while looking up with an expressionless face, "And you... You must stop it!" Edna continued with desperation, "You must! I beg you..."
Roger smiled proudly when he saw the awe-inspiring view before him. "This is my prize." He patted her hair gently and stepped aside. "Come!" He yelled loudly.
Nathan stirred. His vision became blurry. He wanted to help her. He didn't want anyone else hurting her ever again.
He struggled to lift himself from where he had fallen on his back after being hit with a spell earlier, but his muscles weren't able to respond anymore. And as expected, his brain stopped working properly, which made his thoughts muddy as if they were covered in mud.
Everything was getting blurred, starting from the background, and then everything started spinning as he desperately tried to move. Then darkness fell over his eyes, along with the sounds of pain that no one could hear.
The soldiers drew their swords and ran toward Edna. They surrounded her with weapons pointed at her from every direction.
Edna stared blankly into the distance without saying a word. Her heart seemed to be broken beyond repair.
Roger took off her clothes piece by piece, easily overcoming the weak struggles put up by Edna, and very soon, she was left only in her underclothes.
He looked at Edna in awe as if it was his first time seeing a girl's exposed body, especially because it was much better than what he had imagined or thought it should be. Even though she was only nineteen, she already looked like a woman due to how beautiful she was and how perfect her shape was compared to other girls around her age.
He sighed as if lost for words while stroking her bare shoulders softly, "How wonderful..."
Edna shuddered hard for a moment, trying to fight against what had been happening, but she couldn't escape the clutches of the restraining skill that gripped her. She struggled more desperately, which made things even worse; Roger grinned at that sight.
"What a cute expression you have on your face." He said and poked at her cheeks playfully. He caressed and slowly brushed his fingers on the top of Edna's head.
"Please don't force me...." Edna said in a quiet voice, as she could no longer speak normally. Blood was still pouring out from her mouth, yet she showed no sign of pain or fear.
Roger took out another piece of cloth, which he used to clean himself up completely after having finished cleaning Edna's body before he approached her again. "You can't hide yourself now," he whispered into her ear, making her tremble slightly at the sensation that traveled down her spine.
"How sweet..." he muttered while looking at the scene surrounding him with great interest. His eyes were wide open as if flames were dancing inside them, but his heart felt cold and empty, as if nothing was left within his chest.
"Now I'm ready for tonight." He laughed out loud before turning towards Nathan and the others.
