Dyllis laid comfortably in bed, before she was in bed Tobca carried her piggyback style back home because in her state earlier she could barely even move.
Dyllis had also run very low on her mana. Her regeneration ability heal all of her broken bones and muscles but it didn't ease the pain she felt just by moving. Tobca sentence Dyllis to bed duty until further notice, Dyllis wanted to protest but couldn't.
As she laid in bed she ate leftover humanoid flesh to subside her hunger as she had burned away most of her store away flesh she had ate before entering that battle.
After a hefty meal and a full stomach Dyllis relaxed and fell into a deep slumber. This time she didn't go into the little mind space where her AI resided, she found herself plunged straight into a nightmare or was it just memories?
She found herself back in the dark cellar chain down to a metal board, A white hair prince mumbling to himself "which one should we start with?" He questioned himself before picking up a handful of nails "I know with go with this method" He spoke as he March his way towards Dyllis form "Looks like fun you sick bastard" Dyllis spoken.
Of course, he couldn't understand a word she said, Dyllis could only mimic Sorrowful screeches and words in a certain tone. The Prince chuckled at her "I am gonna show you why you shouldn't steal others' fiance's" As he spoke with a venomous tone.
He grips Dyllis's right hand before forcefully shoving the nail into the middle of her palm, to Dyllis it felt like she had just got bitten by a swarm of fire ants.
The process continued until he ran out of nails, The nails covered her whole body except her face. Dyllis stay still clenching her teeth in pain. The ice Prince got up close and personal "Now tell me how did you manage to sway my future wife?" as he spoke it felt like the whole room was getting frozen.
Her skull felt numb as frostbite inch its way into her skin, every breath she took ice filled her lungs. Dyllis didn't answer the man not as he would understand.
Getting impatient with the cannibal He pulled out the nails slowly causing a new wave of pain to rush over her. Dyllis refused to scream or let out any sign of weakness.
'No matter what I don't want him to get the satisfaction of Torturing me' she thought to herself, she wanted to continue her thoughts only to have more nails pulled out of her body as a lingering pain engulf her.
Hours passed as he tried different methods, until one day he had enough. The ice Prince stomp his way into the torture chamber where Dyllis limp body laid completely exhausted.
He grabs a knife from his table which had a few other bloody tools along with some souvenirs such as her eyeballs which currently floated in a jar of liquid. To his surprise, Dyllis's eyes grew back in a few hours.
Today he wanted to frill her like a fish "Since you refused me time and time again, I have no choice but to teach you some decent manners when being in front of royalty" He spoke to the still sleeping Dyllis.
He jabs his knife horizontally into her flesh, as he started peeling her skin off like a potato. Dyllis jolted awake by the sense of pain but a notification screen pops up saying 'Endurance +1'
Dyllis laughed like a madwoman seeing this notification as she got countless more from the torture, black tears streamed down her disfigured face as a small whimper left her lips.
The winter fae prince felt satisfaction at the helpless noise she made, He peel off all of her skin chin down. As he had finally made it to her face "Are you going to speak now wrench?" He spoke mockingly at her.
Dyllis's whole body tremble as if she was gonna burst like a soda that had mints put inside the bottle. She could only endure so much, her hunger flare up like an angry lover.
She bare needle teeth towards him as her body used up the vitamins inside her body, to recover lost tissue. She thrush around as her sanity slip away from her.
This startled the Prince as she almost got to bite his hand off to satisfy her hunger that demanded the flesh of the living.
Dyllis rise into a cold sweat, breathing heavily as she curled up into a fetus position as she trembles from the traumatic memories, she vaguely recalls having hot wax poured on her more sensitive areas.
She stayed in her safe position for why she felt so comfortable about being curled up like a ball is because it makes us feel like we are still in our mother's womb.
After some time she felt the bed shift as a warm presence came behind her and snuggle the fragile-looking cannibal "Did you have a bad dream, my love?" Tobca asks gently, as she played with Dyllis's hair as a form of comfort.
Tears swelled up in her eyes looking like black jewels as she mumbled "Yeah, more like just remembering my time with your ex-finance" Dyllis spoke with a shiver in her voice "You can tell me when you are ready to love" Tobca continue speaking softly towards Dyllis fragile state.
Dyllis cuddle back before remembering the notification she had gotten during combat, she opens the windows as white words appeared "You have unlocked a new skill called: Body enhancements" a slight smile tug at her dark lips as another window open.
Body enchantment: By using your darkness affinity to help enhance your strength, it will give you a huge boost to be comparable to a higher rank than yourself. When using this ability an extra boost stat will appear further increasing your power for a Short amount of time.
The host can only use this power for one hour each day (If the host deactivated the ability before the 1 hour is up host can reactivate it for the remaining time it has left)
Dyllis felt a butterfly fluttering in her stomach as she read the skill, she felt quite proud of making such a skill. So when she was fighting that C- rank adventurer her stats had gone up to C- rank as well for a short amount of time.
'What an OP skill, maybe the gods don't truly hate me?' she spoke inside her head as her mood was somewhat lifted, she got out of her curled up position and cuddle back with Tobca for a brief bit before leaving a peak on her lips before walking out of there shared room.
Another Window had popped up as soon as she exited the room it was about the quest she had taken before.
