Hero of Darkness
chapter-65

The Elven man opened his eyes, a sudden pain hit his senses as he felt a big bump on his head. He couldn't make sense of what was happening.. And most importantly, he felt like his legs were tied by something and as soon as his vision became clear.. He screamed loudly in fear.

Because at this moment, he was indeed hanging upside down... On top of a tower.

"Arhhhhh!!! Let me down!" he shouted in fear, his body flailing around in the air.

"Very poor choice of words." a grim voice came from his back and quickly the rope-like thing that had tied his legs loosened its grip.

"No!!!" screamed the elven man as his body was thrown down from a nearly 80 meter tall tower, ready to be swatted in the ground. But at the same time, another hooded figure, clad in grey robes had jumped down with him and was descending down albeit more organized and in proper form.

"Save me!" shouted the elven man from the top of his lungs.

"So dramatic.." said the hooded figure and 4 black extensions came from behind his back, 2 of them quickly grabbed and rounded up the elf while the other 2 quickly stabbed themselves in the building's walls.

The elf who was nearly swatted to the ground found his body suspended in the air again and the figure who bound him was hanging in between these 4 extensions. He raised his hands upwards and they too turned into similar extension, pulling both the bodies upwards.

When they finally reached the top of the tower again.. The fear-stricken elf finally had a clear view of this ghostly figure.

"Tensile strength is great, ductility and malleability are also high. I wouldn't have any problem even when blocking arrows using this." spoke the hooded man as he folded his hands and looked to be thinking about something.

"The extensions are strong enough.. I can hold his entire body in the air while standing on my two feet without losing any balance. So useful.." spoke Kahn as he felt satisfied with the newly gained ability.

"Now let's test the fear toxin." said Kahn and a spray of white fog came from his hands and reached the elf's face who was muffling under the grasp of these fleshy extensions.

Just a dozen seconds later, he saw Azrael's face again. But this time.. The face appeared inhuman with nothing but a black skull with brightly burning red eyes as if they were on fire.. The entire body of the hooded man in front of him felt like it was turning bigger and grimmer as the seconds passed by and all the elf saw was a dark demonic figure looking down on him as if looking at an insignificant being.

"You.. Who are you?" asked the elf who was tied up by these extensions, his face full of horrors.

"4 knows cases of sexual assault on females including demonkin, elves, humans and beastkins.. And who knows many more off-record victims. I wonder how you're not inside the prison yet.." spoke the hooded figure.

"Let me go! I don't want to die! I'll do anything you want!" pleaded the muscular elf.

"Alcina Cikom.. The name rings any bells?" asked the hooded figure..

"You.. How do you know that?" asked the elf with an ashen expression on his face.

"You r*ped that 13 year old girl and when she refused to keep quiet about it.. You killed her and threw her body in the gutter. Well, that's only one of your victims that I've come to know. I'm sure there are many innocent women you've killed and destroyed the lives of." said the hooded figure in a judgmental tone.

"Don't tell me.. You're Azrael?" asked the elf in a ghastly tone.

"Yes. Now tell me.. How do you wish to die?" spoke the hooded man.. Azrael.

"I'm giving you three options. One, get your limbs torn in pieces.. Two, getting skinned alive and three, I put holes in your body one by one till you die from excessive bleeding. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you choose." said Kahn in his Batman.. In his Azrael voice.

"No! Let me go! I'll pay you with all the money I have. I promise I won't do it again!" shouted the elf in a fearful tone.

"Third it is.." said Kahn

Stab!

The elf's shoulder was stabbed by the spear-like ends of the fleshly extension that were coming out of Kahn's back.

"Arhhhhhhhhg!!!" wailed the man in pain as blood started pouring down from the wound.

"You like using that thing to show your supremacy on innocent women & young girls, don't you?" asked Azrael as a small pike came out from his palm and he quickly stabbed the man in the crotch!

"Mrahaaaa!!" cried the elf in pain as he lost his ability to reproduce in this life. But Kahn didn't just stop there. One by one, he stabbed the elven male in his arms, his thighs, then his abdomen using the tendril like extensions. He twisted them inside the elf's body to give him even more horrendous experience as if the decree of the heavens was punishing the elf for all his sins.

Multiple wounds inside the elf's body bled buckets of blood and the elf lost his consciousness after suffering through the immeasurable pain.

"Ugh.. So disappointing. How am I going to test these abilities if these bastards keep passing out so soon." spoke Kahn in a dejected tone.

"Well, it's a good thing that this city has no lack of lowlives." declared Kahn and tore the elf's body from limbs and hung it on top of the tower.

"Well, this is my last night as Azrael so let's clean up this city as much as I can." spoke Kahn as he jumped from the top of the tower and disappeared in the darkness of the night.

Tonight, there was going to be another massacre in the city that would make the name of Azrael put fear in the hearts of all the criminals.

Tonight.. He would gain a new title.

Azrael.. The Adjudicator.
