Chapter 221: Trivial Matters
"You," I said, pointing a finger at the other person, Bak Sun. "Pick up the chainsaw and cut him up, and the devil will let you live." I gave him a choice, finding it more entertaining than using my suggestion.
Bak Sun, too terrified to speak, didn't hesitate. He dashed forward, snatched up the chainsaw, and didn't even consider the possibility that I might be lying.
"Bak Sun, don't you dare!" Jin Nak groaned.
BRRR! BRRRR! BRRRR!
Bak Sun didn't listen and pulled the chainsaw's rope to rev it up. There was no hint of pity in his eyes; all he could think about was saving his own life.
"Bak Sun, please... don't do this... I thought we were friends..." Jin Nak, his face twisted in pain, managed to croak out a few words .
"We're not friends anymore. I have to do this to survive." Bak Sun's eyes were cold as he revved the chainsaw and sliced through Jin Nak's remaining leg.
BRRR! BRRRR! BRRRR!
"NO!!! AHHHHHHH! FUCK YOU!!!!!! I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU MOTHERFUCKER" Jin Nak's wails echoed through the pier as Bak Sun continued his gruesome task. It was a horrifying scene for most, a brutal representation of human desperation in the face of an even greater consequences.
The brutal act played out like a dark theater performance, and I couldn't help but find it very captivating. It was as if I was watching a twisted play where the characters met their death in the most horrifying way. The plot twist ? They die for real.
THUD!
Jin Nak's other leg fell to the ground, leaving him legless.
He would have already met his end if I hadn't used my powers to prevent excessive bleeding, keeping him alive to suffer longer.
"Now Slice his right arm !" I ordered.
Bak Sun briefly glanced at me, his eyes filled with a mix of fear and desperation. He then revved the chainsaw, convinced that this was the only way he could survive this ordeal.
BRRR! BRRRR! BRRRR!
At this point, Jin Nak had become too weak to voice any protests . While I had managed to stop the bleeding, the initial injuries had left him extremely weak from the substantial blood loss.
The chainsaw sliced through his right arm with ease. All he could do was cry out in agony, a helpless victim of my sadistic way of taking revenge.
And the torture didn't end there. I continued to force Bak Sun to slice through Jin Nak's body, this time targeting his left arm.
I commanded him to do it slowly and deliberately, starting from the hand and working his way up. The pain was excruciating for Jin Nak, who could do nothing but groaned in agony as his body was dismembered bit by bit.
"Enough," I ordered Bak Sun to stop. I had enjoyed the view, but there were other matters I needed to attend to. A message from one of my puppets informed me that the others were already ripe for the picking.
"I did everything. Can I go now?" Bak Sun asked with a glimmer of hope. He had completed all the tasks I'd set for him and was hoping to escape this place.
"Of course, you can go now," I replied, feigning kindness.
"Really?" His face lit up at the prospect of freedom.
"The devil never goes back on his word," I responded, borrowing a quote from a drama.
Bak Sun turned around and saw the zombies parting, creating a path for him to return to the yacht. He felt a wave of relief and happiness wash over him.
"By the way," I interjected as he took his first steps toward freedom.
"What is it?" he asked with a shaky voice.
"I'm not the devil... I'm far worse!" I cackled maniacally as I lifted his body into the air. "I hope you know how to fly," I mocked him as he continued to rise higher and higher.
"No! You liar!!!" He kept shouting after I went back with my words.
"Idiot, I've been a liar from the very beginning," I chuckled aloud, amused by his outrage. Lying was a mere triviality for me; it had become a second nature.
"Oops," I uttered as I felt I could no longer lift him any higher.
"Bye now," I let go of him from a height that would undoubtedly result in his end. Since he hadn't done much to me before, I decided to grant him the mercy of a quicker death.
I could hear his screams and the sounds of EXP points piling up as he descended closer and closer to the ground. It was as if the notification system was in full burst mode.
"Damn, I didn't know I could earn EXP this way!" I exclaimed in shock as I hurriedly checked the EXP notification. There was a lot, unfortunately, it was in small numbers.
"Cheap system!" I clicked my tongue in annoyance. I had thought I'd found a gold mine for EXP.
BAM!
SPLAT!
The sound of Bak Sun hitting the ground was quick and gruesome. The force of the fall was so intense that it created a small crater, which was instantly filled with his blood and mangled muscles.
"Now it's your turn," I said as I turned my attention to Jin Nak, who was barely breathing. I used Dream Manipulation to make him experience hellish torment multiple times. Just before ending his life, I revealed my old face, bringing an end to his suffering as well .
After that, I was left alone on the pier with my puppets. Unlike Jin Nak's group who saw a horde of zombies, all I could see were normal-looking people whom I had controlled.
Some of them had blood in their mouths, but that was alright. I would just erase their memories of this whole ordeal once I was finished.
"It's time to wrap this up," I stretched my arms and legs, then turned around.
