So just like that, Ratte was stuck between three immovable forces. Han, Yggrain, and the fourth king! How in the world was he not going to run away then!? How did you expect him to face all these people that are putting pressure on him when all of them are stronger than him!? Any one of them can kill him le he is a bug!! He will rather run!Â
Han noticed that Ratte wasn’t going to say anything and his scowl deepened as he pulled back his fist.
“Grit your teeth, rat,”
Ratte quickly closed his eyes and grit his teeth tightly as he tried to prepare himself because he knew this punch was going to be stronger than all the others!
Boooommmmmmm!!!!
“Urk!!!!”
Fuck!!! Ratte’s eyes widened in pain and he immediately coughed up a lot of blood as Han’s fist dug deep into his stomach! Is this his full power!? I can feel my organs tearing apart! Ratte didn’t fly away because Han was still holding his shirt so Ratte could only stay in that same position and try to catch his breath.
Ratte has never bled in close to two hundred years and he has almost forgotten what it felt like to even feel pain. But today, Han was reintroducing him to the concept of pain! Ratte was feeling pains that he hasn’t ever felt in his life! Ratte fell to his knees once Han released him and he vomited blood! He couldn’t move! His eyes were blurry and his head felt like it would split open from the headache he was feeling!
Han bent down once he was sure Ratte was finished and grabbed him by the hair before pulling him up. He then spoke.
“Why did you run away. Ratte?”
“I-I was just scared of you-”
“Don’t bullshit me and don’t make me repeat myself again. Why’d you run away, Ratte?”
Han asked Ratte the same question and Ratte almost started to cry! He wants me to tell him about the Celestials!? This Han is a monster! Why is he torturing me like this! Just kill me already!
[Renewal] has been activated.
Bones mended. Skin knit back together and even the pain in his chest reduced to nothing. Ratte suddenly felt like he could breath normally again and he took on a deep breath quickly! No, no! Not again! I’m fine again!? Just kill me, please!!
Han used his skill to return Ratte’s body back to the state it was in before. His skill worked on any injury that was inflicted less than ten minutes ago. That means that Han could heal Ratte completely no matter how many times he breaks him. Once Han saw that Ratte was completely healed he spoke.
“Alright then. Shall we continue?”
Ratte’s eyes widened as he saw Han pull back his fist and the man began to bawl his eyes out! No! Please, not again! He can’t go through something like that again!
“Just wait! Wait please! Can’t you see that I’m already broken!? I can’t even close my eyes without seeing your fist in the darkness! I’m scared of you now! What the hell do you even want from me!? Just release me, I swear I’ll answer anything you want me to answer! Please!!”
Han paused as Ratte started to cry and Han actually felt a little bit of sympathy for the rat. But Han wouldn’t let the tears fool him. He just asked the question once again. If Ratte can answer him then he will let him go.
“Why did you run away, rat?”
“The Celestial, Yggrain! He told me to do something that I couldn’t do! I didn’t have any other option but to run away! All of you just keep on flexing your power and using it to bully me! Can’t you just leave me alone!?”
Han sighed internally as he finally threw Ratte to the ground. Han’s entire hand was completely stained with blood and even his cloak and face were splattered with Ratte’s blood. Han called Ratte’s name but the man was still crying while mumbling stupid things so Han just stomped on Ratte’s leg and the man groaned as he finally looked up at Han. Han eyed him intensely as he spoke.
“Tell me about this Yggrain of a person. Just how much does he trust you? He must trust you a lot if he even sent you on a mission in the temple all alone,”
Ratte hissed in pain as Han threatened to break his leg if he didn’t answer!
“He trusts me a lot! I can say that I’m the only chosen that he trusts in the entire temple! I’ve been performing missions for him for a long time now,”
Han finally smiled as he got what he wanted. The smile was not a kind one. It was a vicious smile that made Ratte think that he just signed his death warrant!
“Good. Now listen very closely. I have something that I need you to do for me. The Celestials must never learn that we had this conversation and at the end of it you’re going to go back to your territory and act like a proper king once again. Do you understand? What I’m about to tell you must never get out of your mouth again. If you tell anyone, then I’ll kill you,”
Ratte gulped in fear. What the hell has he gotten himself into!?
