?279 Dante and Demons

Walking down the stairs of his throne, the scenery around him changed with each step, and soon the spacious hall was nowhere to be seen and Shiva was standing on the gates of a prison cell.

He could directly teleport anywhere inside this 3 story pagoda(tower), but he liked the feeling of enjoying this reformation magic.

'The more I see it, the more happy I feel.' Shiva said as he looked at the moving bricks and walls. It reminded him of a marvel movie of magicians, except here he didn't even have to move his hands to cast a spell to do this. Which only made it even more cool to look at.

Shiva pushed open the door and snapped his fingers, as the torches around every corner of this place lit up and light shone in the dark cell.

The sudden light covered the room, and acted the same as chili powder or salt on the injuries of the man hung from the iron chains in mid air.

The middle aged bearded man grumbled and shrieked in pain as he struggled valiantly but in vain.

"Hello Dante." Shiva said as he looked at the men covered in various injuries and torture marks. His refined appearance was nowhere to be seen as he was just marked with blood and cuts from head to toe.

"Remember me?"

Dante looked at Shiva and seemed to see some hope of life, he started squirming and screaming, begging for forgiveness and another chance.

He hated this guy from ruining his business and making him a prisoner at the beginning, but after suffering hell for so long, he had let go of that stupid idea for now. Now he just remembered the words which said 'The only one who can spare your life and save you from me, is my master.'

"I_I'll do everything. Just please, let me go." And so he begged.

His past arrogance was all gone, as even his biggest reliance, his contracted God was laughing at his misery, and enjoying the live torture scene he could witness from high above.

It had been more than three weeks and in all this time he had only eaten twice and drunk water five times. That's all these damn Eclipse bastards had given him.

Not to mention the mental and physical torture they forced him to go through.

At the beginning his God would often threaten others and try to help him stay strong, supplying some blessing or healing powers, but over this period, that damn demon completely gave up on him.

Hell, now he even sends suggestions to the torturing awakeners to punish Dante even more for ruining his reputation in Den of Devils.

[Ythranor praises your cruelty and control. Saying you should follow him and learn the way of demons.]

Shiva read the notifications from Dante's god and couldn't help but smile. This guy pestered him for a week once he caught Dante, saying he'll find me, kill me etc etc. And now this same guy proposed to teach him.

'Gods really are duplicitous in Arcadia.' freew(e)bnovel.(c)om

[Maybe they are everywhere.] System replied too.

"Please, I'll do whatever you want. I'll take your brand, a soul control, a slave mark anything, just stop torturing me." Dante sobbed and sniffled as he screamed for mercy, yet Shiva just looked at him without batting an eye and kept thinking about what to do with him.

[Just do what he says. He's no good dead.] His system said, agreeing to let him be a slave.

'He'll give me points.'

[Which you don't lack.] System replied feeling down over this host's actions of ruining every storyline years or months before it starts.

[You've seen the situation of Eclipse yourself. They need more manpower, elite manpower. And this guy can be one of them, if you give him another chance.]

[You can kill him whenever you want, but you can't make him a useful minion once he's dead. So it's better to _ ]

'Fine, I got it already. stop pestering me.' Shiva said and swiped the system away.

He waved his hands and the pillars Dante was tied to came together, almost scaring the villain to death thinking he was about to get crushed between them. But they stopped just over the distance where Dante felt comfortable and didn't feel like he was getting stretched apart.

Next the floor below him also raised and turned into a chair where he could sit down.

"Th _ thank you." Dante murmured as he started munching on the food that apoeared in front of him.

"You'll work for me from now on." Shiva said directly, his words made Dante surprised and he nearly choked on his food. But gaining his composure he hurriedly nodded his head like a bird pecking on rice.

"Yes, yes. I'll do everything. I'll _"

"If you betray me, or ever even think about double crossing me, you'll miss these walls as a wedding compared to what I would do to you then." Shiva said clearly aware of this guy's nature from the novel. "Better be careful Dante."

Shiva said and turned around to leave. As for the matters of marking his soul, or signing a slave contract those things were left for his other minions. There was no need for him to take any risks where those demon gods can identify him as Rio.

Dante, who was chomping down mouthful of food every second, looked at Shiva's back with some resentment and anger, and then looked away before anyone noticed it.

'Sooner or later, this will all be mine.' Dante said as he looked at this magical mansion and the pretty girl walking inside his prison. 'I'll have you under my crotch soon enough, just you wait bitch, just you wait."

Dante cursed Shiva and then Cersei who happily came near him.

"Staring at me with such unkind eyes. Looks like your training is quite slow, Nir (Nirdayi)." Cersei said in disappointment as she turned to look at the shadow behind her. She turned back at Dante and spoke "Boss said you'll join us from tomorrow, so we only have today for ourselves. Let's enjoy this time together okay."

Cersei smiled and said with a twisted grin. Her expression grew more exagerated as she saw Dante shivering in fear and begging for mercy.

"This is for your own good, Dante. You should be glad it's us two, and not the boss himself. Otherwise you might not last till 3 weeks to speak surrender." Nirdayi said as he walked inside the room and licked his lips as he tasted the smell of fear in the air.

Half his body was covered in burn marks, including his face and exposed arms. Courtesy of a bigger maniac controlling hellfire.

Shiva walked slowly towards his room as walls closed in behind him, shutting off the sounds of painful screams.

[Ythranor smiles and gives you a nod of approval.]

[Den of devils blesses you with the knowledge of 13 deadly torture methods of a broken world.]

[Train it well and show us some more bloodbaths.]

Shiva, who was walking back to his room, stopped and smiled as he received a gift notification from those demons.

[Blessings given by gods can be their skills, techniques, knowledge or a certain legacy - depending on their own wishes.]

Clicking 'yes' on the option where world system asked him if he wanted to receive this gift of knowledge - Rio felt a surge of memories appearing in his mind directly, like a book was printed in his head and all kinds of theory and diagrams of various methods of torture and painful techniques appeared in his mind. Each method crueler than the last one.

'Demons, they really are twisted to the extreme.' Shiva said as he asked Nyx and system to cover him, while he changed his appearance and turned back into Rio and teleported back to Angel.
