Chapter 258 Entering Into Some Deep Shit

Outside the room,

Ayanami struggled to shapeshift so she could break out of the tentacle that surrounded her. 'What the heck did I do to deserve this?!'

Click!

Her eyes widened when she saw who had stepped out of the dreadful room that had the dragon scales confined inside.

"You unhand me this instant!" She snapped and hissed as her pale purple eyes glowed at a masked Obsidian.

Having a black mist masking only his eyes with a hood covering his ears so he couldn't be easily recognized. He had managed to deepen his voice so he could completely fool her into believing he was a different person.

'Great, she doesn't suspect a thing!'

Obsidian had a wide grin plastered on his lips as he watched her struggle to get free.

"You weren't thinking the organization would let you free after that little stunt you pulled?" He pretended as though he was working for a secret plan given by the higher-ups.

Ayanami trembled in untold fear of what she had heard, feeling this has been a great trap set by the organization.

"We work together so why would you trap me?!" She spat while squirming.

"Work together? Didn't you know we are in search of Mr. Zhao?" Obsidian cackled and shook his head.

He was suddenly grateful for the stupid snake pendant around her neck. The information was just enough to convince her of where she stood.

"You had promised to give me back my scale." She began, thinking it was the dragon tamer she had encountered, and made the effort to remind him of what he had bargained for earlier.

"Your scale? Promised? Do you think that I was the one behind that big stunt you witnessed?" Obsidian laughed at how stupid she looked for mixing them up.

Ayanami stopped in her struggle to stare in horror at the person before her. She could actively hear her heart pound in her chest at the mistake she had made.

"If you're not the one, then who are you?" She said in a whisper.

Bringing up his hand, he tightened the grip on her neck with his tentacle, "you ask too many questions."

Bringing her in so they don't draw out too much attention from the screaming, he let out a sigh when the door slammed shut behind them.

Ayanami cried out in pain as the grip was slowly increased to her dismay. "Please spare me!"

Obsidian laughed at her effort in appeasing him.

To irritate her, he tested out his luck with a bluff. "There are various ways you could offer so I will spare you."

Ayanami coughed out and racked her thoughts on the possible relevance to what she might know.

The moment she could see his eyes graze over her body and him licking his lips, her jaw dropped as she went numb to the pain.

'He wants my body in exchange for my freedom?'

Taking a deep breath before exhaling, she was ready to offer herself if that would mean her freedom and also a chance to unmask who is beneath the hood and mask.

It almost felt too smart to be true–if she would be able to know who was currently torturing her, she could pinpoint the right person.

'Majorly people hide their identity to those who they might have come in contact with one way or another.'

Obsidian had a devilish grin on his lips as he burst out in a peal of crazed laughter. "Even if you were served on a gold platter, your sorry self wouldn't be considered an easy get away from the stress. My standards are way above the animal kingdom."

'Ouch!' Solis winced in her stead as he watched from the corner of the room while looking towards Nix who had a smirk all the while.

From what he could see, Nix was solely enjoying the show and was more than eager to enact the plan which was going on smoothly.

'Aren't you partly animalistic with obvious features?! You feral beast.' Nix thought with a smirk as he folded his arms.

"I was speaking on your limbs as they looked quite intriguing for me to rip off." Obsidian snickered and wrapped around the tentacles on one of her arms.

Ayanami frantically shook her head while pleading for him to be merciful. "I don't need the scale anymore, you can have it!"

"Are you dictating what you want me to do?' Obsidian's chilly voice immediately turned the situation around.

Gulp!

Ayanami's sweat dropped and cleared her throat to his death glare.

Shaking her head, trails of tears got down her cheeks and dropped to the floor as she tried to regain her composure.

Being out of the room was one thing, she had hoped to be seen or stumbled upon by anyone who would be so foolish as to venture into the dark regions of the organization.

Feeling that it was nothing more than a fleeting thought as the minutes went by, she finally gave up on any hope and focused more on getting herself free.

Her eyes darted around her and she suddenly realized it had been darker and a lot quieter than before.

"W-where's the dragon?" She muttered, scared of being startled by the frightening size popping in her face with its snot steam.

"Awww... She's missing a part of you. Isn't that sweet?" Solis spoke up with a tease.

He and Nix were shielded by his passive gift that made it possible not to be heard outside the barrier.

"Sweet is a feeling I get from torturing little pests, would you like to know where you stand?" Nix snapped as cross-popping veins made their way to his forehead.

Solis took a step back and shook his head, "I think I'll pass."

Nix nodded his head and focused his attention solely on the two at a 5-meter radius away from them.

Obsidian raised a brow at her question and let out a chuckle, pointing a finger at her accusingly. "You remember the dragon, yet you've forgotten about the one person who blindly trusted you."

Ayanami let out a gasp as she suddenly realized that Arion was nowhere in sight. "C-could it be..."

Gulp!

She swallowed in fear at the thought that crossed her mind. Shaking her head, she chose to believe he was in someplace restrained just like she was.

"Go on, guess," Obsidian said with a smirk and his eyes glowed as he prepared to show her a preview of his newly acquired ability.

"No! It can't be." Ayanami said in horror, her focus on the floor.

Deactivating the glow in his eyes and his ability, Obsidian circled Ayanami, actively checking her out. "You don't seem too bad yourself."

Those words sent a chill throughout her body and she tried to hold his ever-changing gaze on her. She had suddenly understood why he had been checking her out the first time, it wasn't anything related to being sexually aroused, rather it was like a predator's gaze on its prey.

'This can't be happening to me, I am the one who preys on those lower in the food chain.' She squirmed for an escape.

"Would you stop hurting yourself, you've got welts developing due to the struggle..." Obsidian whined in irritation.

Ayanami stopped to think about the real reason for his words, 'could it be that he has some little concerns for me?'

"... It would be a hassle to get what I want in that way." Obsidian completed and clicked his tongue.

When one of the tentacles squeezed on her thigh, she let out a scream in pleasure.

Obsidian was taken aback by the sound and stumbled back in shock. 'What the f*ck was that just now?!'

Shooting a glare at Ayanami the moment he got his acts together, he used the tentacle to pull back her hair and raise it so she was suspended in place with her head held up because of the hair.

"I wish I could kill you right now," Obsidian said with a growl, not sparing her a moment of rest from the grip on her hair even though he could see her wince to the pain.

Too tired to struggle, she could only let out strained breaths and her body heat increased.

The sound of Nix's boot could be heard from behind as he stepped out in similar garb as Obsidian.

He readily wanted to carry on from where Obsidian had stopped and had his hands shoved in his pocket.

Placing his palm on Obsidian's shoulder, he gave a pat and spoke to Obsidian through the corner of his lips. "You've done a good job, right now I think it's time I take the lead."

Ayanami had wanted to let out a scream as this figure approached, she could tell this was the very person she had conversed with the first time.

Obsidian wrapped the tentacle around her mouth. "Goddamnit, shut the f*ck up!"

Nix shook his head as he still made his slow and agonizing approach to Ayanami, "It's only a natural response when you know you've entered into some deep shit!"
