Chapter 159 The Different Flavors Of Pain



Lenny remembered that Master Lucian taught that Pain was like the Rainbow.

It came in different colors and therefore different waves.

Every color as unique as it's shade, so was it's hurt.

A simple version would be the difference between having a headache and and a bruised knee.

Or having a burn and the heart broken from the loss of a loved one.

However, each and every one was unique in its own right.

In fact, it was okay to say that it was special.

After all, even if it was the prick of a needle or multiple needles, it was still pain.

An acknowledgement of it's existence was vital in understanding why it was felt, and how it should be enjoyed.

For most, pain just happens and stays the same.

It was like using a cheat to suddenly get to the finish line. Or using an Helicopter to reach the peak of a mountain.

Once the pain happens, it is sudden and it just stays there.

Then, there was a different kind of pain.

This one started low, but then broadens over time. Much like the spread of a disease, it broads it's reach as it encompasses the individual.

Then, there was pain that came in waves.

It was just like the waves seen when a pebble was thrown in water.

There was a brief half a second interval when it does not hurt between each successful wave.

But this kind of pain might as well be torture.

After all, the brief relief was not a break as it was illusioned to be, but the presence of a possibility without that pain.

A constant reminder that it could be better, but it wasn't.

This pain had a psychological effect.

In that lets your mind longing for those brief half-seconds of relief that you would never be able to truly call yours.

There was also pain that bordered on two or more colors of the spectrum.

Like a mixture of ice and fire, or the mixture of sweet and bitter.

It tastes good at the tip of the tongue, but awful at the end.

All of this, were flavors of pain.

Whether it was those that came in waves or those that sat as lonesome wolves of their own spectrum, none was as terrifying as the unforgettable blend of them all.

Like the taste of the ingredients to make a soup.

Individually, there are not bad and might not be bad to the taste buds.

But together in perfect blend and harmony, the taste of the soup is birthed at the sacrifice of all their individual flavors.

Such was the pain that E666 was feeling at the moment.

It was a blend of it all.

To make the show even better, Lenny had secretly used a centipede chimera ant's heart juice on the tip of the burrowing spike.

After all, the liquid from centipede chimera ant's heart was an Aphrodisiac.

As Lenny took his seat to watch, he couldn't help but sigh lowly.

The only thing that was missing right now, was pop corn, but unfortunately, such did not exist in this futuristic but backward world.

He would have to settle for the memory of enjoying good popcorn while at the movies.

And so it began.

Firstly, the drilling pike slowly separated her virginal lips as it thrusted upwards.

The moment the aphrodisiac touched her skin, it's effects had already started.

However, what happened next made her wish she did not have holes in her body.

As the drops of blood fell on the Turning Wheel, the thorned pike slowly drilled into her.

The tip itself did nothing.

But the bony thorns on its body was totally a different issue.

Like trying to lick the bowl of delicious lasagna, the thorns licked at the flesh of her insides.

Shaving the meat, slowly.

It was not rushed and no matter how she screamed or shaked in pain, it was no use.

This chair was made in Half-born bones.

Lenny had only used the best bones. Of course, these were A class Gladiator bones.

She opened her mouth and screamed to the heavens.

Her loud screams echoed off the walls like the drums at a concert.

She could feel every layer of flesh carve out of her.

It was like an old sculptor with withered fingers, begging his old muscles to carve out his greatest Master piece before his death.

Every shaving like a snails crawl was slow and enduring.

The Aphrodisiac was not helping matters either.

Like a plague, it corrupted her mind.

There was the excruciating pain of having one's flesh slowly chiseled from inside out, and also the sensual desire for the pike to go deeper.

It was a back and forth transfer of incinerating pain and venerated Pleasure in her mind.

At a point, she started to form on her mouth.

The Pike went further inside.

Below her was already a pool of blood and meat shavings that fell like droppings of food from a toddlers mouth.

The Demons back in the Arena watched this.

Demons were a very cruel race.

Infact, that statement was true even to themselves, but Lenny's ways might have actually opened up their minds to a different flavor of pain.

Many actually took notes.

While some watched with clear attentiveness afraid that they would loose the important details for such a slow torture to death technique.

While some others were greatful that they were not in E666's shoes.

Either ways, the fact stood that many wondered what kind of things happened in Lenny's head.

After all, he could have just killed her, but he took hours and shaped bones to a marvelous torture equipment just to prove his point.

Truly, they were some things worse than death.

Further more, even those things could be ranked.

Meanwhile, Lady Vinegar's fingers contemplated advancing towards her loins or not.

She had to hold her hand back with her other hand.

It was as if she was struggling.

"My lady," Bassket face called to her, "are you okay?" 

"Yes!" She nodded and continued watching.

However, Basket face continued looking in her direction.

After a few seconds, he sighed and continued watching.

A123, A222 and C888 continued watching.

At a point, A123 wanted to leave.

However, A222 held him in place.

"Stay! Don't get on his bad side," she warned.

Lenny on the order hand had a broad but charming smile as he watched.

From the look of things, the throned pike had gone through her Cervix to the end of her Uterus.

Lenny with his knowledge of the human anatomy knew that the really torture was just beginning.

The reason for this, was because the Pike was now drilling into the digestive system.

It was going to plough through her Fundus and then into the small intestine.

Like rolling noodles in soup with fork, it was going to drilling into it.

Like the parting of the red sea, it was going to separate tissue from tissue, meat from meat.

And then upwards, brushing through the sides of the liver.

Likewise taking chunks of innards out of the way.

Lenny knew that in his former life, he would not be able to enjoy such a nice show.

The most amazing thing about this was the fact that all this was going to happen while she was still alive.

Half-borns were not normal humans.

Because of their demon half, they were very tough and survival ability very high. This was at a genetic level.

With the addition of their training, it was even better.

This was sthe reason Lenny could never enjoy such a show in his previous life.

The person would have long been dead because of the loss of blood, and sheer pain.

But here, he got the opportunity to watch her scream and cry for her life. With snort and mucus all over her face.

*Splat!*

More blood poured from underneath her like a big bowl of water.

"Hmmm!!!" Lenny's eyes shone brighter.

This was the sign that the pike had reached the Diaphragm and was now breaking through.

*Cough! Cough!*

She cough out loud and muscus in large amounts.

Her voice had suddenly seized the shouting.

The best part was now arriving.

The Pike went through her chest. Drilling all the way to her throat.

E666 coughed out blood. 

Her eyes on Lenny as blood ebbed her veins and flooded her lungs.

Filling her air bags a sudden storm.

Soon the blood in search of more hole to escape from poured out of her nose.

Her head suddenly dropped to the side.

"She is dead!" A222 muttered.

However, the pike did not stop until it burrowed through the side of her neck.

Lenny suddenly stood up from his sit.

*CLAP! CLAP!! CLAP!!!*

He gave a loud applause.

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!! That was a stunning appearance."

Lenny clapped again and again. He could not help but wipe the tears from his eyes.

A222 and others could not believe what they were seeing. 

Lenny was actually moved to tears by that.

He suddenly turned to them, "well, I think it's time we move to the next level...."
