Chapter 404 – Hanging Slave
Ramiel sat down on the cold floor and breathed heavily.
“Keuuuuu… “
Even at first glance, it was not a normal condition.
However, to Wolfgang, Ramiel is nothing more than a prisoner and slave who is difficult to deal with. Unlike Telephone Bell, who took an oath of loyalty and became his subordinate, she has no reason to care about her situation.
Of course, Ramiel is currently in a position where he can never disobey Wolfgang, and since she is a kind of living secret weapon with excellent strength and difficult powers, there will definitely be something she can use.
To that extent, at least they will take measures to prevent you from dying.
She had no intention of showing any sympathy or mercy.
Wolfgang sneered coldly.
“Am I sick? From the looks of it, it will soon become useless.”
However, at first, Wolfgang was quietly observing the situation with his eyes open, thinking that he was acting harshly.
If you just watch, the situation is worse than you think.
—Rattle…
Not only is he shaking his whole body like a drug addict suffering from withdrawal symptoms, but his face is flushed red and cold sweat is dripping from his forehead. It looks like it wouldn’t be surprising if he ran out of breath at any moment.
Besides.
The amount of mana currently in Ramiel’s body was extremely weak, similar to that of an ordinary person who had never trained her mana in her life.
“Has she lost all her powers? No, rather than that… “
What does that fact mean?
It meant that Ramiel’s life was truly at risk right now.
Regardless of race, the body of a high-level mana user who transcends species limits can perform its function to some extent even if it does not meet the essential elements for life activities such as breathing, sleeping, and eating.
This is because the bodies of superhumans who have evolved by receiving mana in their bodies over a long period of time are different from those of ordinary people.
For example, superhumans use more mana than food as a power source to move their bodies.
It is possible to survive without eating, but there is no reason to give up the pleasure of eating, and eating increases the efficiency of mana recovery, so you just eat.
However, there are definitely disadvantages to a superhuman body.
If an extreme shortage of mana occurs, the bodies of superhumans will face a terrible phenomenon.
If the mana in the body is completely depleted, the body, which has been strengthened by the power of mana even in every muscle fiber, can no longer maintain homeostasis.
In other words, the body begins to collapse on its own.
The reason why mana runaway was dangerous was in a similar context.
Not only does overload cause fatal damage to the mana core and blood vessels, but in the end, even the minimum amount of mana unconsciously reserved to maintain the body is completely used up.
The act of literally burning one’s own life force.
However, Ramiel’s symptoms now were clearly different from mana overload.
The original meaning of the word runaway refers to a situation where excessive power is exerted and becomes uncontrollable.
In Wolfgang’s opinion, no traces of Ramiel’s use of mana were observed at all.
If a high-ranking demon of her size had caused a rampage in the first place, her mansion and the entire surrounding area would have been in chaos, so there’s no way Wolfgang wouldn’t have noticed it in advance.
“Please…” It’s really dangerous now… “
But what can I say about that appearance?
Rather than collapsing from exhaustion while burning herself, she looked like she was on the verge of starvation from starvation.
This was a phenomenon that Wolfgang had also seen for the first time.
“That’s ridiculous.”
Wolfgang glanced indifferently at Ramiel, who was suffering from her pain, and lifted her drink.
The appearance of a powerful, high-ranking demon who dyed the entire surrounding area with demonic energy just by showing off his deadly spirit was nowhere to be seen in the current Ramiel.
Could it be that I am receiving back the karma for my past evil deeds?
—Sparkling… !
At that moment, the soft light reflected from the chandelier on the ceiling passed through the glass of wine Wolfgang was holding.
The images of demons and humans projected into a glass half full of whiskey.
Wolfgang is reclining on a luxurious armchair made from the leather of Baldrake, a rare monster native to the North.
The image of Ramiel crawling on the ground, having difficulty maintaining his kneeling position, was coincidentally captured in one place.
Four red eyes meeting each other in a transparent glass.
“…”
“…”
I didn’t have a hobby of feeling joy from seeing other people’s pain.
At this moment, when he saw the demon living a miserable life with everything broken by his own hands, an unknown kind of dark emotion began to rise within Wolfgang.
Unlike the sense of immorality he feels when he sees Alicia, a woman more noble than anyone else in the empire, dragging herself down to the depths of her being and suffering in her pleasure as a slave in his arms.
She saw the enemy who once almost threatened his life begging for her mercy, unable to do anything.
—Excited… !
Something, an unbearable feeling of sadism is boiling over.
Is it because of the strong alcohol that made me drink alcohol on purpose to feel intoxicated? Or is it because the dark nature hidden within him was awakened when he faced the demon alone?
Either way, it was a feeling I didn’t want to suppress right now.
It doesn’t matter what you do to Ramiel.
They are fundamentally different from their precious lovers. He is a slave and prisoner who doesn’t care what he does.
Even whether she lives or dies depends on Wolfgang’s will.
—Gulp!
“Whoa… “
Wolfgang emptied the glass in his hand in one go and took a long breath.
Then, she sank into the soft cushion, crossed her legs, and snapped her fingers at Ramiel, who had fallen down.
There was a bitter smile on Wolfgang’s lips.
“Hey, you.”
“Sigh… Ugh… !”
But do we not even have the time to recognize Wolfgang’s voice?
Ramiel groans and struggles in pain. In her appearance, the traces of the horn that had been cut off by Wolfgang were particularly noticeable.
Contrary to her prejudice against demons, Ramiel had pale white skin and hair, so if she looked at her appearance alone, putting everything else aside, she could almost be mistaken for a noble-born daughter.
Now, compared to what she used to wear, she was wearing shabby clothes that even the poorest commoners wouldn’t wear.
Embarrassing outfit that doesn’t even cover important parts.
She looked like a daughter whose family had fallen and who had been sold to the slave market.
Is it an illusion that I somehow feel a strange attraction from that appearance?
At that time.
—Beetle…
Ramiel slowly raised her body and began to crawl towards Wolfgang.
It wasn’t like she was aware of his call until it was too late.
The demon she gave up everything to survive was Ramiel.
My current actions are based solely on survival instinct.
She unconsciously moves closer to Wolfgang, who can save her life.
Wolfgang watched with interest.
Ramiel was very slow, but somehow succeeded in reaching Wolfgang’s feet.
“I’ll be better…”
Ramiel’s voice calling out to Wolfgang was very faint.
The spark of her life in her eyes was gradually dying out. Despite that situation.
“Please save me.”
Her voice was very clear as she spoke just three syllables.
—Keying…
At that moment, the brand engraved on Ramiel’s lower abdomen glowed.
A mysterious pattern engraved in response to the existence within Wolfgang.
Neither Ramiel nor Wolfgang knew anything about him.
That pattern only reveals the fact that Ramiel’s existence is subordinate to Wolfgang, and through it, Wolfgang can unilaterally interfere with Ramiel.
Did the stigma heat up and cause pain?
“Ha!”
Ramiel let out a short groan.
At the same time, her body, which was barely able to maintain its posture, collapsed again.
—Tuk…
However, unfortunately, Ramiel’s face ended up touching Wolfgang’s feet.
Upon seeing that, Wolfgang suddenly felt uncomfortable and kicked Ramiel, who was lying at his feet.
“How dare you!”
—Park!
Even during that time, she controlled her strength enough to not die, so her body didn’t explode.
“Ouch!”
Ramiel was struck by a kick with superhuman strength, and her body was bent like a shrimp and sent flying to the corner.
“Ugh, no!”
Wolfgang raised his body and approached the limp Ramiel.
“Do you really want to live like that?”
“Huh…!”
Then, she gently touched Ramiel’s body with her foot, making the mark on her lower abdomen visible.
—Quaak!
She said as she trampled Ramiel’s lower abdomen with her brand.
“I was curious. How ugly will your years get?”
