Chapter 41: Sadistic Pleasure

Rosavellt told Dracula to bring the priest along as they trekked into the castle. Artus couldn't even protest at all as he was dragged by the hair like a dog. Dracula wouldn't stain his body by carrying a human! He only held onto Artus' hair and dragged him along like that!

Once they entered the church they already knew that Floid and the others had been working hard! There were dead priests everywhere! From the moment they opened the door, the smell of blood hit them like a sledgehammer! Not even a single person could be seen alive! They were all lying dead in pools of blood!

Rosavellt and Dracula moved towards the inner sanctum with the other vampires walking behind them and they got to a door at the end of the pier. They opened it and Dracula dragged Artus inside. Floid was sitting on the chair at the head of the room and Pyra was handing him a handkerchief to clean the blood on his hand once they entered.

Floid looked up to see them and he smiled slightly when he saw Rosavellt's dress. It seems she had a hard time against the priest. She should have asked for help. He collected the handkerchief from Pyra and started to clean his hand. Dracula threw the body of Artus to the ground in front of Floid before both Dracula and Rosavellt bowed. Floid looked down at the body and he was surprised to see a sword inside it. Didn't he tell them not to kill this idiot?

"He isn't dead, master. Just incapacitated,"Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Dracula said this before he moved forward and dragged his sword out of Artus. Artus suddenly gasped as he filled his lungs with air! He coughed out some blood and then struggled to get himself to his knees with one hand. What the hell!? He felt like he just died! He was stuck in that place between death and life and he couldn't even move his body!

He looked around him and he was shocked to see that he was inside the inner sanctum. This is the place where he usually had the meetings with the other priests! And why is someone sitting in the holy chair!? It is sacrilege!! Floid was sitting on the holy chair like this is his parlor couch!! Wait... Floid? Artus' eyes widened and he stumbled back with a shout!

"Floid!!?"

Floid hummed as he stared down at his former teammate. It was obvious that Artus was shocked to see him. Anyone would be shocked if someone came back from the dead. Floid smiled as he rest his head on his fist.

"You look like you're seeing a ghost, Artus. I thought that you of all people would believe in miracles more than anyone else. Aren't you a holy man?"

Miracle? Artus knew that there was no sort of magic that could bring someone back from the dead! What is this man doing here! I can't believe that Pricilla was right! She told me that the hero was back but I just couldn't believe it! How did he come back from the dead!?

"Artus, do you know what giants are? I'm sure you do, you already killed many of them before. Giants are not very materialistic. They only have one desire in this world and that is to satisfy themselves..."

Floid grabbed Artus by the neck before he put his hand on Artus' chest. Artus suddenly felt a phenomenal amount of Mana fill him like a wave! Artus screamed as the mana started to increase more and more! His Mana core started to expand and after the mana that was inside his core exceeded the amount that his core could withstand, the core broke!

Crack!!!

"Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

It was the most painful experience of Artus' life! He felt like his chest was split in two! He clawed at his head and drew long lines across his cheek as he tried to distract himself from the pain of losing his core! Floid scoffed when he saw the pain Artus was going through. Does this man really think this is the worst thing that could happen to him?

Floid stood up and called Rosavellt to heal Artus' chest injury. Artus breathed heavily as he felt his chest knit itself back together. Once the sword injury was gone, Floid continued

"... So like I was saying. The giants don't have any worldly desires. They only have one desire, and that is personal pleasure. They are a lot like you in that regard. They'll fuck anything with a hole in it,"

A portal suddenly opened behind Artus and a giant hand emerged from the portal and wrapped around his head! Artus was wide-eyed as he felt himself getting pulled back by a giant! Wait! This - this isn't right! Why are you doing this!?

"Kill me! Just kill me! What the hell do you gain from doing this!?"

"Sadistic pleasure, Artus. I gain sadistic pleasure! It's just like I said, humans and demons are not so different at all! I'll give you about ten days before they rip you apart! If you can survive that long then I'll personally come to let you go!! Good luck!!"

Floid gave a wide smile as Artus was finally pulled into the portal. Of course, Floid had no intention of going to save Artus. But he wanted Artus to think that he actually had a chance of being rescued if he manages to survive for ten days. The priest won't be able to use his magic because of his broken core and he will be stuck with an entire colony of almost a hundred giants. If he survived for ten days then he would have to be the strongest man in the fucking world!

Floid looked around and he was surprised that no one looked shocked by what he did. Oh, right, they were all just like him! If it were the humans they would all probably think that he was some sort of monster! But I'm not a human anymore and things like this are normal!
