"ROAR…!!!"
The beast roared and snarled as he dragged at the chains.
"Hahaha".
"Nightmare Beasts are really ferocious monsters!"
"Even here in the Underworld, in a clean slate, he's this ferocious".
"He'll make a formidable addition to the All-Father's Soul Army in the future but as for now, hehe, we get to play with him".
With 5 Demons distracting the ferocious beast from the front, 2 others sneaked behind it as they stabbed pointed spears at its behind, injuring it.
"ROAR…!!!" The Nightmare Beast roared and ferociously turned around, dragging the thick chains and adding pressure to them as they creaked.
"Hahaha…!" They laughed at the sight excitedly.
"The Upper Demons are really generous for leaving us an entertainment source of this caliber, it's so thrilling man, I feel like I'm on the edge of death".
"Muahahaha…!"
"Ahhh! Hold him, drag the chain, arghhh…!"
One of the Demons played too close to death.
Before the others could react, the ferocious beast's dangerous row of teeth already clamped down against his thick black scales as it crushed them, including its horns and everything Demon about it as molten fire sprayed everywhere.
Crushed stony flesh and molten fire were what was left of the Demon.
Before the others could understand what happened, a Demon was dead.
They were stunned but not scared, they were rather thrilled.
"Hahaha…!"
"So ferocious!"
"See the way he died! So foolish, hahaha!"
The Nightmare Beast growled as he looked at them.
For hours, the Demons kept on toying with the powerful beast. With the power of the Universal Treasure restraining him due to his clean state, Predator could hardly use his powers but he fully utilized the little that he had access to.
Even without the powers granted by his Darkness affinity, his scales alone were enough to grant him crazy resistance to the tortures of these Demons. Also, his claws and row of teeth made him an ever-present threat.
While the demons had the time of their lives, 2 souls appeared behind them.
Legolas held out his 2 Enchanted daggers. "Make your choice".
"I'll take the Frost Dagger". Daemon quickly made his choice.
"Huh?" Hearing mutters behind them, the Demons were confused as they turned around only to see 2 wandering souls standing behind them.
For a few seconds, they were confused and that was all it took.
Legolas did not make a move, he allowed Daemon to flex his muscles after 4 days of ruthless torture. Clearly, the Necromancer still got it, he did not use his Necromancer abilities yet but his base strength and a dagger was enough.
He vent all his pain and frustration on the Demons, giving them ruthless deaths that was sure to live with them even in death.
Whoosh!
The feeling of the wind caressing their stony faces was the last thing that the Demons ever felt, the next moment, their heads were divided in twain.
Daemon didn't just slice their heads, he made sure to poke more than enough holes in their fiery brains, freezing them to delay their deaths, enough to make them feel a crazy type of agony that hit the soul before their deaths.
Their huge bodies twitched in agony and helplessness before they died.
"GRRRR…!"
The Nightmare Beast growled as it glared at the soul who killed the Demons.
"It's ok boy, it's me". Another soul appeared before it the next moment.
The first instinct was to attack anyone getting that close but just from the presence of this soul, the Nightmare Beast paused. Its body became so still that for a moment, it seemed like it was petrified as its eyes became dazed.
This continued for seconds until its eyes finally moved again, ecstasy showed.
Predator did not hesitate; one giant leap and this beast flew towards his master like a rocket, shocking Legolas.
"Take it easy…" His words were muffled as he was flattened to the ground.
Predator was now mature and powerful but that took nothing from him after experiencing death once, he licked the life out of his master excitedly.
A few minutes of bonding later, Legolas fed Predator his Summoner energy so he could recover from his injuries.
Inside the Underworld, every other type of energy was nonexistent except demonic energy and was why Daemon was handicapped and decoded not to use his Necromancer abilities.
Using his Necromancy abilities now would deplete his energy and in here, he had no way of replenishing it. He kept his energy for when he truly needed it.
After recovering his memories, Predator regained his full power.
The problem though was that since there was no dark energy here, if Predator exhausted it, he had no hopes of recovering energy and this was where Legolas came in with his newly gained underworld energy.
Like the Demons here, he could use underworld energy to replenish his reserves and through their organic connection, he could also help his contracted beasts recover.
Once Predator fully recovered, Legolas stood up. "Let's go get your brothers".
Predator growled as his eyes turned dangerous on remembering how he was tortured, he was determined to save his brothers.
With the ability of the Upper Demon that he tamed to carry them in its stomach, Legolas had no apparent problems with keeping their presence hidden.
He conversed with the Demon. "Where do you think my beasts will be kept?"
"There are higher chances that they are in the Inner Underworld".
"We should try Tarmac's cave".
"Who is Tarmac?"
"The weakest of the Upper Demons".
…
Unlike the Upper Demon that took Legolas' lair, Tarmac's lair was underneath a giant Mountain in the Inner Underworld.
It was quiet and isolated from the rest of the Underworld.
To avoid a commotion, Legolas left the Upper Demon behind as only he, Predator, and Daemon made their way in through the narrow tunnel.
The walls leading to the cave held a lot of history, this Demon clearly seemed to appreciate art as he drew numerous arts of his torture victims.
Legolas saw souls of all kind of races illustrated in the walls.
His torture style was much more complicated and varied than the first Demon, Legolas was disgusted by how extreme this Demon could go.
After 3 minutes of silently walking, they finally heard sounds.
"Grrrrr…!" The growl of a beast could be heard.
Then, the silent whispers of a cunning Demon could also be heard.
"My love…"
"You've still not shown me your last form, the Blood Vampire".
"Hihihi…, I want to see it".
"Show me!"
"Grrrr…!"
"SHOW ME!" He suddenly roared impatiently.
The sound of claws digging into flesh and ripping it apart reverberated as the beast growled and groaned in pain.
"SHOW ME!"
"SHOW ME!"
After some time, after digging holes across the body of the Dark Warg who Legolas could see now, the voice finally lowered again.
"Ok…, ok, you don't want to show me".
"I'm not pained".
Legolas could finally see the demon clearly. Unlike other demons, this demon was lean and athletic, standing on 2 legs like humans but with more muscles built for speed and agile leaping.
Its teeth were sharp like daggers, including its claws.
Behind it was a table containing its myriad torture tools. At this moment, he was using none of them though as he caressed the skin of the Dark Warg with his claws, leaving painful wounds behind in the process.
"My precious, why won't you show me?"
"Ah! I get it, you're starved of pleasure".
"Are you gay?"
"GRRRR…!!!" The Dark Warg growled.
"Hihihi, I guessed it right, that's easy".
As the demon went behind the Dark Warg, a certain Summoner who was already disgusted beyond belief was already burning with rage as he looked at the scene that was before him. The beast beside him burned with even more rage.
Legolas could not hold himself anymore, he moved.
BOOM…!
"Filthy Demon!" He roared as he brought out his Positron Rifle.
