CHAPTER 152: Why won’t you just answer me?

During the days after, the woman came back. she would continue to ask questions that I either had no answer to or did not want to answer.

Allenya and Alex had tried multiple times to escape but slamming bowls and cutlery against the walls and bars of the cell obviously did not work as it was designed to hold even demons.

Suddenly a rattling sound echoed through the cells. The chains that were holding me were being bulled back into the wall, ceiling, and floor. Forcing me to stand against the wall with my arms spread out if I did not want to lose my hands. Even if I did not cooperate, it would probably grow back eventually. But since I was still hurting all over, I did not feel like also needing to regenerate that.

Soon after the woman accompanied by the same person as always entered the cell. They were both completely covered in white armour and she caried a shield and a long knife with her.

"Listen up you monster. We have given you the option to hand over information in a way that involves both of us to not go trough too much trouble. But since you refused to answer anything, we asked I am afraid we really need to get your true name. After that you will belong to us, and you will have no choice but to answer."

I smiled. I finally had an idea of what a true name was without getting crystals thrown in my face by the dwarf.

"I told you before human. I don't know my true name."

"All you say are but lies you fiend."

"In that case. You are beautiful."

She rushed towards me and stabbed me in my abdomen. As I had already suspected, her blade was blessed. But it still was not strong enough to pierce trough my scales. So, she stabbed me in a place where I only had skin. There were only a few places on my body where that was the case. My abdomen, the underside of my arms, the membrane of my wings, a few parts on my legs, my neck, and my face.

She immediately pulled the blade back so that she wouldn't get any of my blood on her.

"I know how old you demons can get. There is no way that you don't know it! give your name or I will slice of your ear next."

I laughed. It was a loud cackling laughter. The woman hesitantly took a step back and tightened her grip on her blade.

"You really think that that is a threat? You know that I have died multiple times in this world, right? How much more can losing an ear hurt than that?"

She gridded her teeth and stabbed me again, and again, and again. seeing that I did not even flinch she only grew more frustrated.

"Damn it! why won't you just listen? Why won't you just answer me?"

She fell to her knees while screaming and sobbing.

The people in the other cell were now all whispering among each other. She furiously turned around and threw her knife in their direction.

While smiling I looked down at the woman. "You know. I almost feel bad for you. Did you truly believe that, that knife could hurt me? for me it would be about the size of a toothpick."

"Shut up! Just shut up!" then he looked at her companion and barked commands at him like he was a dog. "You get that spear now! "

The man nodded and walked out of the cell. A few moments later he came back with one of the spears from the battle. It was broken and only had enough fuel to fire just once.

I had already suspected that they would eventually bring something like this. But that did not mean that I liked it.

In an attempt to keep the object away from me I spit fire all over them. but they were unharmed due to the armour that they wore. Realizing that this wouldn't wok I tried to break the chains. But I was still unable to do so.

"Oh. So, you recognise the toy I brought? Give your true name and I will only stab you with it instead of also firing."

"How often do I have to tell you? I don't know it. I am probably even younger than you how could I have already figured my true name?"

It was clear to me that she already realised that I was telling the truth. She was just pissed and wanted an excuse to hurt me.

She pushed the tip of the spear trough one of my almost healed wounds. "Final warning. Give it now."

I closed my eyes and mentally prepare and myself for the pian I was about to endure. "Fuck you."

She pulled the trigger and almost immediately I roared out in pain. I slammed my tail against the walls. I pulled on my chains, but they were still unmoving. My vision was getting blurry. The room around me was spinning. I could not hold a thought for more than five seconds. I hardly noticed how I threw up multiple times.

If I really was holding secrets from her. Then it would have been fine. I would have been enduring this pain for the sake of protecting those. But I could not give her what she wanted in the first place. I was enduring the pain just for the sake of enduring the pain.

And then I finally passed out. I would finally no longer feel my body changing and the silvery substance from the spear pulsing trough my veins.
