Chapter 1200 Pious Worshipper
Crystal's POV:
I opened my eyes in a daze, only to find myself in a dark room. What little sunlight that filtered into the space came through the skylight above my head.
I shook my head and blinked several times. When I finally came to my senses, I realized to my horror that I was in my underwear. Worse still, I was tied to a cross.
Then I heard a murmur. Someone was chanting a prayer, his voice low and deep.
I looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a werewolf on his knees. He wore a black robe and a skull mask, and he was praying diligently as though he was confessing his sins.
And the idol he was confessing to was neither the Moon Goddess or... or any god that I could recognize, really. It looked hideous. Even from a distance, I could tell that it was a demon, a fiend.
The statue was made of black stone, and a shimmering, silver veil was draped over the head. It did nothing to hide its features, though. Its visage was distorted in awkward angles, its limbs dislocated. It was straight out of a nightmare.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Please forgive me. It is all my fault. I shouldn't have let the intruders desecrate this place with their presence and destroy the joy that we built. I offer myself up to you for punishment."
No sooner had he finished saying this than the sky rumbled with thunder. I was creeped out despite myself, and I felt a chill race down my spine. "Please quell your anger! I will make sure to punish the intruders. I shall use their blood to wash away their sins and remove their taint from this sacred place..."
I couldn't bear to hear any more of his disturbing litany, so I interrupted him by clearing my throat. "Are you Lee, by any chance? I didn't expect you to be so pious. But the deity you worshiped looks so... odd."
Lee's head whipped around. His mask looked particularly terrifying in this slant of light. "You're awake," he said in a calm tone, surprising me a bit. "Now that you've awoken, accept your baptism and wash away the filth from your body. Only then may you speak to my Lord."
"I don't want to talk to your Lord, though," I said, raising an eyebrow. "Just let me go, and we can have a fair match."
"I am not one to waste my time on pointless things," Lee chuckled before picking up what looked to be a dipper. He shuffled over to a nearby tub and scooped its contents, holding it up to his face and taking a big whiff. "Ah, it smells so pure."
I was disgusted, yet scared at the
same time. Whatever liquid was in the tub was murky, and I had the sense it contained both blood and mud in it. It also emitted the putrid- smell of rotting vegetables. "Release me this instant, or I promise you, you won't live to see another day!" struggled against the hemp ropes that bound me, to no avail. In the end, I tried using witchcraft, but that, too, was in vain. I reached deep inside me, but it felt like all of my black witch powers had disappeared. How could this be?
What did that damn Lee bastard do to me?
"Shhh, be quiet. If you disturb my Lord, you will only bear great suffering." Lee spoke the most vile and hateful words in the softest voice. It was eerie. He reached out and dragged his long, black nails along the line of my shoulder, and then up to the artery vein in my neck. The next thing I knew, he had buried his revolting nail into my skin.
All at once, I felt like choking, like my blood was flowing backwards through my veins and back into my heart. I shuddered in horror.
Lee let out a small, amused laugh. "It's so easy to scare you. It makes things so much easier for me, then."
"Fuck off!" I spat out, glaring at him with all the loathing I felt. "Take your filthy paws off me! Don't you dare touch me again, you bastard. Scare me? Ha! I never feared a thing in my life!"
"Interesting. Let me play with you for a little while." Lee loosened his grip on my throat, and then proceeded to pour the nasty liquid on me.
The sludge felt cold and sticky, and I shuddered yet again.
Damn it all to hell, it was blood!
"You devil! Is this all you're capable of? If you're so sure of yourself, then let me go and let's have a proper fight!"
To my utter revulsion, Lee only grew
more excited by the second as he continued to pour scoopful after scoopful over me. "Now, now, be patient assure you, you will grow to like it. All this blood used to belong to little boys, the freshest you can ever find! Be quiet, and you will soon find the joy in this!" "Fuck off, you monster!"
