Chapter 98
'I hope that she like my gift' After disappearing in front of the AST members, I appear on some kind of room... I observe my surroundings with curiosity. Inside the room there is some computers, wires, cables and a giant black box.... some class of laboratory? I feel like something is calling me from inside of the black box...
'Wait a second... this is....?' I quickly approach and touch the box which causes some kind of alarm to activate, I think of using my sword but I had just gift it and there are some cameras here so and I don't want to show my inventory... so start applying force in my hand and begin to be able to open the box, inside there I find what I thought...
I find Nia Honjo naked and restrained, tied up in various parts of her body with some wires directly in her body and with a visor that hides her eyes, breathing hard obviously in pain, behind me a door opens and a couple of guards or soldiers appear, starting to yell at me while pointing me their guns. Without really paying attention to them I enter the black box, where some kind of power is activated, making her suffer more.
"You are now safe, no one will harm you again." I speak to her and quickly destroy the machine she is tied to and lift her up, hugging her a little while I continue to disconnect anything she has on her body, even removing a bomb that was in her abdomen, when the soldiers outside start shooting at me.
"No! NO! NO! Let me go! NOooooo!" Of course she is screaming and tossing around while I do that.
After free her from all her restrains I start to heal her, although she doesn't really let me since she is constantly moving, screaming and trying to escape from me, and when she discover that she can't escape she put her hands between her legs and start crying.... that bastard were really treating her badly, so I changed my Job to Royal Guard and use my new 'holy aura' in her.
Apparently it was the right bet, since when I changed Job it seemed to have calmed her down a lot although she was still too tense and in pain... overreacting to all the shoots she hears, so I kill the soldiers outside with some [Ice Bolts]... and I look closely at how many wounds she has... I take out a sheet from my inventory, making it seem as I take it from inside my armor and place it over her, something that seems to calm her down too.
"Let's get out of here, let's go to a place where you won't be hurt again." I repeat and take off the visor that covers her eyes and see her empty eyes staring at me with pain, fear and despair... I use my [Devotion] skill in her and I see how this surprises her a little and making her take the blanket to cover her body, and she takes it timidly.
I open a [Warp] in front of me and I walk towards it, but not before leaving a gift to the idiots of this place, with one of my steps I use [Earth Strain] raising the earth around me, destroying everything in the room.
This quickly activates several turrets and weapons inside the room but before they can do anything I use [Jack Frost] freezing everything in the place, to tell the truth I could have quickly entered the [Warp] but I want to make the bastards in this place suffer more, as one of the things that I hate the most is rape, and my wait is rewarded, when a very important blonde woman in white and black armor appears from the door.
"Don't you know that you shouldn't steal other people's things?" The woman who has just arrived says and in my arms I feel how Nia shivers and puts her face on my chest with tears falling of her eyes, not wanting to watch...
"Let's go... that woman... we can't beat her... no... no... NO!! DON'T COME CLOSE! DON'T HURT ME!?" Nia in my arms starts to shake more and more, covering her face and body, dropping the blanket I had just put on her, so she was one of those in charge of torturing Nia huh....
"Silence! Did I give you permission to scream? Don't worry, we will discuss this escape attempt you had very slowly, plus we will also include your savior.... I want to hear her scream when Isaac interrogate her at your side." I watch as she continues to get closer... although I must admit, for a 'normal' human she is really strong, level 125 and her status with that armor she surpasses that of normal Spirits.
"Oh, where are my manners, my name is Ellen Mira Mathers The World's Strongest Wizard." She stops about 10 meters from where I am and does something to interfere with my [Warp] causing it to deactivate and once she does she starts grinning wildly. "Remember it well, since it will be the only thing you will know in this place."
"Hahahahaha." To her and Nia's surprise I start laughing with my woman voice. I know she doesn't know who I am, but shit, she really has enormous pride, even with all the strength I have I don't date to call myself the strongest.
"I hope you like laughing when you have your face in the floor!" Apparently I made her lose her patience and she attacked me, smiling when she sees that I didn't really move to defend myself, and once her sword reaches my neck I only hear her scream in pain as she let go of her sword.
"World Strongest huh... You can't even pass my defense, how can you be the strongest without that?" I spoke with a woman voice again and see how she looks at me with hate in her eyes and smiles, proceeding to attack Nia in my arms, being surprised again when she sees that her attack didn't do anything to her... although well, actually, it did hurt me a little, thanks to the [Devotion] link...
"That's it? You are the strongest and you can't even break through my defense? " I can see how her smile diminishes little by little and she begins to try to stab me or Nia with her sword, only causing damage to herself. "Pathetic. Not even I can say that I have the best defense out there, so you are really pathetic and weak." I can see how my comment does wonders for her but this show must end.
Clearly her mere presence is affecting Nia badly, so without letting go of Nia, I give her a kick making her fall in her back and move my feet putting my foot on her chest a little hard, making noises of something breaking.
"Now... do you like electricity?" Without waiting for a response I begin to generate electricity in my foot, making her scream in pain, activating the skill [Sanctuary], forcing her to heal continuously.... very good the Skill seems to heal broken bones... "I would really like to do everything to you that you did to this woman... but I'm not a fucking bastard like you or your boss... I could gouge out your eyes but that wouldn't bring satisfaction either... you need them after all."
I can see how Ellen looks at me with rage under my foot, but every time she tries to talk I attack her again, I really would like to continue torturing her slowly but Nia is getting worse since she appeared, she even peed herself and doesn't stop crying, closing her eyes and covering her ears, apparently they also tortured her with electricity too.... With nothing more to do here, I quickly broke her hands and feet, smiling to see that she didn't even complain about the pain anymore.
"So you're strong... let's see if you're still strong when you can't use your strength anymore." That finally makes her react but without giving her a chance to speak, I concentrate to use the skill [Lex Divina] manually causing her to end up under Silence status for the maximun amount that I can do 100,000 seconds which is actually only a little more than a day.
[Lex Divina Lv: 20/20 Skill Form : Active Type : Debuff
Description: Attempts to Abnormal Status: [Silence, Inability to use any skills or magic.]
Duration can be decreased upon status of the target. If the target is already silenced, this skill will cure it from the forementioned effect.
[Level 20]: Silence Duration: 6,000sec, MP Cost: 5]
I finally see the look of terror she has when she discovers that she can't even speak, using [Spell Breaker] on her canceling any type of magic she has active. And thanks to her Silence status she will not be able to use any type of skill while the skill lasts...
"Have fun being a normal person from now on strongest... and don't worry, your dearest Isaac will do worse when I take care of him..." I can see the look of fury and terror that she has, I just don't go to him now because I don't know where he is and Nia is in a very bad condition to event attemp to do it, even only hearing his name causes a panic attack on her...
So I use [Warp] to now leave this place, but not before using my skill [Comet] in the area, I wonder if the attack will fall from the sky as it normally should or will be generated in the room, I really don't stay to find out and disappear from the room...
This time I can cross the portal without problems, arriving in Skyrim again with Nia in my arms still shaking, crying, with her eyes closed and her hands covering her ears... sigh... I take off my helmet with in the equipment window and begin to caress her head increasing my presence for her to feel me, walking towards the Pine Watch.
'I really need to save a Warp inside the base, normally it's good that we arrive like this and they can admire the landscape but Nia is really very affected and I don't think she can appreciate anything...' I start to think while I see how I am surrounded by some Guillotine Cross and Shadow Chasers that begin to escort me while they are invisible, and I look down at Nia.
"Don't worry, you are now in a safe place, look around you, there is nothing that is going to hurt you." I speak with my normal male voice and make her open her eyes to see our surroundings, although once she sees my face again she tenses completely and I can see how her pupils begin to tremble.
"I won't do anything to you... I'm not like your captors..." Her breathing begins to accelerate... "You haven't done anything wrong, everything will be fine, nothing will ever hurt you again." I continue talking, watching her freeze and look at me with terror, so without much option I change my job again, this time to Archbishop, hoping that the change in aura will help her.
At the door I can see Nambra, Cha Hae-In and the others waiting as I approach, feeling how Nia finally calms down in my arms, I look at her and apparently she just fell asleep... although I don't know if my Job change it really worked or if she just fainted from fear..... that Westcott bastard is going wish having never been born, and pray for a death that will never be granted.
"How are her?" Pyrrha asks me, which doesn't surprise me as she is the most innocent of the group. I can see how the others' faces change from concern to fury when they see some of the injuries that Nia has especially near her waist.
"We will do everything we can to help her, no matter how long it takes." That's the only thing I can say, I can heal physical wounds easily... the mind is something more complicated... something I really don't fully understand yet...
"We will help you in any way we can Leonhard." Serana comments... and now that I remember, Skyrim has several mind control spells... surely she and Valerica could do something.
"Thank you." I enter the cabin carrying Nia to the bed where I was lying just a few hours ago, from my store I buy underwear and a dress giving them to Kuroka to dress her, but she only takes several steps back.
"Not to offend you Leonhard... but you really are repulsive..." Kuroka says with a hand covering her nose. "You stink, I know you're not going to hurt me but it's something instinctive."
"So many ways to say it and you decide this..." I can only sigh, seeing how Serana and Valerica are also further away from me, although that reminds me that we should bathe her too, to eliminate all the waste that still remains from her capture.
"What are you talking about? Leonhard smells very good... is it something like vanilla and coconut?" Cha Hae-In mentions making a thoughtful face. "Although now that I remember it, before he smelled like gunpowder... and before that he smelled a little spicy... like garlic and pepper..."
"What kind of smells are those? Am I some kind of dessert or meat? At least the gunpowder is normal since I was using firearms... anyway, first we need to give her a bath." I comment as I hand the clothes to Pyrrha and bend down to finally place Nia on the bed.
"Ah! You didn't smell bad! In fact, it's the first time I've smelled something good from another person....." Cha Hae-In ends up embarrassing herself, although a second later she seems to understand what she just said because she blushes a lot.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, right now I'm using my 'Aura' to calm her down, and what better than the one that generates life... so is probably affecting Kuroka and Serana." I try to get up to leave but Nia's hand won't let go, at some point she clung to my forearm...
All the women present look surprised at this, well almost all of them, Aphine, Nambra and Aleesia are simply smiling... as if they knew this would happen... a few seconds later Kuroka gives me a grin alongside Kurumi...
"Come on... you have to let go of me, we have to clean you and treat your wounds." I try to separate her hand from me but she only squeezes them more... sigh... I don't really want to use more strength....
"What are you going to do nya? The sleeping beauty doesn't want her knight to leave her nya." Kuroka is enjoying the situation.
I would like to share her optimism, but I just hope it doesn't cause Nia a panic attack when she wakes up again and has to see me... after what happened to her, I'm surprised she still decided to be with Shido in the original work, although maybe that because she forgotten everything? Or that was a Reine's thing or maybe the mental health systems in DAL world are extremely advanced...
"Sigh... well I'll need help bathing her, I really don't want her to wake up and the first thing she sees is a guy like me touching her body while she was asleep..." I pick her up again and head to the bathrooms.
"I will help you Boss!" Nambra says and comes with me, Aphine and Aleesia following me too...
"Well it's going to be fun to see how you're going to convince her once she wakes up nya! Plus I haven't taken a bath yet nya!" Kuroka starts to follow me too and I see that Serana is also coming.
"I know some spells to calm the mind in case we need them, plus I really want to know how the objects in the bathroom work." Serana says to the rest of the women in the room.
"Hey don't ruin my fun nya! You have to let him suffer a little nya!" Kuroka immediately comments
"Sigh... If you don't remember, this girl just went through something terrible, so it would be best not to use her suffering as entertainment." We walk to the bathroom while Kuroka apologizes...
