I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

83 – torture, torture, torture… and torture

‘Mmm, crazy bastards… It’s like John came back alive and got his revenge on me… Is this a nightmare?’

In his fading consciousness, Carlos watched the two demons conversing amicably.

He wishes everything was a dream, but even if he closes his eyes and opens them, the same reality greets him.

“What if we poked a sharp wooden stick from the hip and let it come out of the mouth? I carry it like a skewer.”

“Then wouldn’t it just be an instant death?”

“Important internal organs can be damaged and penetrated. Leave it to me.”

how… what are you talking about

Is this what humans would do… ?

“I think it would be better to burn it little by little. Originally, a causal pain is the most painful deal.”

“That’s not a bad idea either. But for Carlos, who committed a thousand years of sin, even dying instantly by being engulfed in flames is too light a punishment. I would like the pain to last a little longer.”

Carlos’ eyes were swollen, his vision was blurred, and his eardrums were destroyed, making it difficult to hear his voice.

You can’t even run away with a broken ankle… Everything was hopeless.

There is no guilt or regret in his heart, which is now fluctuating.

The unfair feeling of not knowing why I was being treated like this was just pulling out my tears like noodles.

I can’t die like this… I don’t want to die like this.

Just as the more you buy clothes, the more you feel lacking, the more you continue life, the more it becomes a waste to throw away.

Looking back, I think I thought life was easier when I was a teenager.

In my immature days when I didn’t know anything, I often said, “Do you want to do more than just die?”

But death is the final judgment that must be avoided the most.

No matter how ugly, hard, and painful it is, if you’re alive, there’s hope to turn things around… When you die, it’s over.

I’ve lived for a thousand years, and I can never accept that I suddenly die like this.

I want to live, I want to live want to live I just want to live.

… But how? How could he survive from those two men and women who were like monsters, demons, and disasters?

Carlos shook his head in despair, but he still couldn’t find a clear answer.

Faust and Irene seemed to be in the midst of trouble as well.

“It is difficult. There are many that come to mind, but I’ve already gone over Carlos a lot, so I’m not feeling well. If I touch you a little more, will you die? From your point of view, it must be like waking up on your birthday and only having a piece of cake left.”

“it’s okay. I know how to get all-you-can-eat cakes.”

When Irene snapped her fingers, all of Carlos’ injuries healed like a lie.

no more pain Hands and legs move freely.

But somehow it feels empty.

Carlos felt as if one side of his chest was empty, and he stroked his stomach.

No bodily damage.

This… what?

“Dozens of souls flowing inside Carlos’ body… I used one of them to restore it. I know how to handle the life energy of the soul.”

Yes. Carlos has eaten 99 souls in a thousand years.

The people involved were seduced by the word fusion, but the reality was close to absorption.

Even my father, who was a business partner at first, has become part of Carlos.

The souls that Carlos swallowed as tools to prolong life are now acting as obstacles that increase the number of tortures.

“If Carlos can’t stand the torture and dies, if he uses one of his innate souls to revive him, he can kill another 98 times.”

“That’s too much, sister!!!”

Sensing a sense of crisis, Carlos got up from his seat and ran to Irene.

The king is servile… He shuddered with an attitude that even felt friendly.

“Apart from me, what’s wrong with the other souls? You weren’t the kind of person who was so indecisive, right? If it’s a punishment for me, isn’t it enough that I just got beaten up behind me? huh? Isn’t it like a sister to sacrifice someone else’s soul for an infinite continuation of torture? No, does your sister have the right to do that in the first place? I’m the only one who hates you, why are you attracting other people? is not it?”

“Then shall we ask the parties?”

“yes?”

The moment Carlos was mesmerized by Irene’s shining green eyes, he suddenly felt the surrounding landscape flowing like a panorama.

Faust and Irene disappeared before I knew it, and a group of familiar faces surrounded Carlos.

“Carlos… You b*tch! You tricked me!”

“Give me my body!!”

“AA AA AA! Why only you!! Why only you!!”

“As soon as I ascended the throne, everything was taken away!”

They are souls devoured by Carlos… These were the kings of Aurelia.

Those who could neither die nor reincarnate, but existed inside Carlos as mere remnants, were finally able to gain a form and express their feelings and opinions in the pseudo-coordinates created by Irene.

“Oh no, how did you guys… ”

It was embarrassing for Carlos.

Excluding the one soul that was consumed just now, 98 souls were shedding bloody tears and pushing Carlos.

“I will kill you!!”

“If it’s to kill you, I’m fine with disappearing!!”

“Use my soul too!!”

The poor old man was also among the souls that rushed in like a tide.

“Hey Carlos… How did you betray this father… ”

“Ah, Obama… !”

“I just asked to share my body… Why did you take everything by yourself… ”

“Abama!!! It’s already too late. Just accept it and save me too please! Isn’t that better than dying together?!”

In an instant, the pseudo-coordinates collapsed as 196 eyes filled with anger aimed at Carlos.

Because there was no reason for such a space to exist anymore.

Standing in front of Irene again, Carlos was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Even a guy like Carlos runs down his spine when he encounters victims of fraud he thought he would never meet again.

“I just voted for the souls in your body, and the result came out unanimously that it was OK to torment you by consuming yourself?”

“Fuck… ”

“There’s nothing I can’t say in front of my sister. With this title, a child? Hell Frame!”

“Quaaah

In desperation, Irene responded with the flames of hell to her younger brother who spat out abusive language.

The black flame, hotter than magma, quickly turned an ordinary human without great power into a small body.

Carlos, whose skin was charred black like a charcoal beetle, collapsed on the ground, losing both motor and thinking abilities.

“I’ll bring you back to life, Carlos.”

“Ooooh… ”

Irene snapped her fingers once more, and immediately Carlos was regenerated.

amazing healing power.

In terms of technology that handles life energy, Irene was a genius unprecedented in history.

“I will kill you 97 more times, Carlos. I just killed you too quickly, so from now on I will give you a slow and painful death.”

“Sister… It’s the devil.”

again.

The shoes made a terrifying sound as they lightly stepped on the back of Carlos’ neck.

“oh. Did you break your neck? did you die again? Then number 96~”

After that, the time passed that was so frightening that it gave goosebumps, at least to Carlos.

I stayed in the castle for a while, contemplating a way to bully Carlos with Irene as if conceiving a business, and as soon as the conclusion was reached, I tried it.

“Wow ow ow ow ow”

Irene’s proposed human skewer was regrettable because I couldn’t hear how sick Carlos was because he couldn’t speak properly.

“This is not it! Not this! It’s not real! Let’s stop, sister! And Faust! I will sincerely apologize! It really hurts! Ahh! This is not this, this is not!!”

When I was alive, I could see that Carlos was genuinely afraid, so I was excited as well.

“Grrr. ”

The method of putting him in the aquarium and drowning was funny to see Carlos’ belly getting plump after drinking water.

“… rather… just kill me… ”

By the time he was tied to a wheel and rolled from the top of an alpine 3,000 meters above sea level, Carlos was already in a state of being different from a bouncer.

Not in a physical sense, but in a mental sense.

In the end, we thought that he had been bullied enough to bully him, so we just threw Carlos into the food bin of the demon dog (dog turned into demon).

The demon dog seemed to like it after discovering a mysterious food that reappeared no matter how much it was eaten.

That’s how Irene and I ended our thousand years of revenge, sat on the terrace, and toasted Earl Gray tea.

“I’m sorry for looking messy, John. It’s because I can’t forgive Carlos.”

“No, I agree that Carlos is the one to kill. Did I rather enjoy it?”

“Then I’m glad.”

Irene smiled, savored the scent of the tea, and looked at the distant horizon.

“But this is not the end. The purification of polluted humanity is only halfway there.”

“There are still sanctions on the warrior party.”

Finally, “Quaaa! Stop eating them, you bastards!” Carlos shouted.

We drank our tea in a civilized manner, turned our heads in the direction of the screams, and resumed our conversation.

“With that, there is only one remaining soul of Carlos. There is nothing left but one’s own. Soon Carlos will be completely dead.”

“What are you going to do next?”

“Of course, we have to go to the continent of Pangea and continue to purify humanity. You think so too, John?”

“Of course, if I was going to stop halfway, I didn’t even start.”

Prior to coming to the Demon Continent, Misha had been entrusted with command of the battle.

She had a track record of reigning as the Queen of the Elves, so I thought it was worth trusting her.

Here, Misha received a written report on the war situation every day, and it seemed that they were successfully driving the humans by rallying the elves who rebelled from all over the place.

Even now, the time has come for Mischa’s report to come up again.

“I must go to the continent of Pangea soon… Oh, another delivery eagle is here.”

“Misha, you said you’re leading the elves and winning a series of victories, so this time it’ll be good luck.”

“Because elves are strong. It’s reliable.”

“yes. But the Four Heavenly Kings don’t seem to listen to Misha’s orders. I have strong self-esteem… That’s why I ordered to find out the battle progress of the Four Heavenly Kings. Because those guys are man-marking the sages.”

I opened the letter from Misha to understand the current situation.
